Notes for Rhuhana Elizabeth Rushing:
A William and Elizabeth King were living the 11th District in WalkerCounty during the 19th December, 1850 Census. They had 6 children and a elderly woman, living with them. Her age is given as 38 years and that she was born in Georgia.
Bruce Myers' personal notes in his 1850 Census indicates that Elizabeth's first name was Rhuhama. Further notes indicates that a Elijah Rushing was apparently the brother of Elizabeth and that their parents were John and Milley (Deason) Rushing. If this is correct her husband, William, first wife, Ruah, may have been a relative of Elizabeth?
A Elizabeth King is recorded in the Census of the Western Division in Walker County, taken 11 July 1860, Post Office Jasper. She has 4 children and a young women living with her. Her age is given as 46 years and that she was born in Tennessee??
The Land Record in the Walker County Court House, Jasper, contained the following land transaction;- A indenture was made the 15 July 1870 between Elizabeth King, John R. King, Margaret, wife of J.R. King, Louisa F. Wilson, George W. Wilson, Sarah A.R. Langerds, F.M. Langerds, Joel A. King, Mary L. King, Martha Jane Noles, Thomas Noles, and Henry W. King. They received from Henry $120.00 for the land lying in the N1/2 of the NE1/4 and a part of the S1/2 of the NE1/4, in Section 23, Township 12, Range 9W (Walker County) commencing in the most side of said numbers running east commencing at a certain Black Oak running with the road to 2 certain dead trees thence on east to Blackmates Creek, 100 acres more or less. It looks like Elizabeth and the family agreed to sell the farm to Henry.
A Elizabeth King was listed as living with Henry Wilson and Mary J. King in Township 12, Range 9 in WinstonCounty during the 14th June, 1880 Census. Her age is given as 67 years and that she was born in Tennessee. It also indicated that her parents were born in North Carolina.
Josephine H. King indicated that Elizabeth was buried at Steward's cemetery, northeast of Nauvoo, Alabama. While visiting the cemetery I was able to find Elizabeth's grave and gravestone, but was not able to find William's. There was a grave next to Elizabeth, but the gravestone was missing, maybe this was William's grave. Josephine's notes indicates that the Family Bible showed that Elizabeth was born 12 Oct. 1812. The gravestone in the cemetery indicates she was born 28 March 1812 and that her age was 83 years, 4 months and 9 days when she died on 6 August 1895. Not sure which is correct. Another interesting point was all the Stewards buried in the cemetery had their name spelled Steuard?
