Rush Rhees

Rush died of sunstroke in his hayfield, bordering Henry Hoffheins' former property, at age 80.

Rush and Sarah are listed in the 1850 Canaan Twp Wayne Co census, age 25 and 21, respectively. Rush's occupation was carpenter. They lived next door to Sarah's parents Peter (64) and Mary (56) Feeman and their daughter (Rush's future wife) Matilda age 19. Both Peter and Mary were born PA, and Matilda was probably mistakenly listed as having been born PA also; Sarah was born OH. Next door to Peter and Mary is their son Charles Feeman and his family.

The 1870 census for Canaan Twp lists Rush Rees, 43, farmer, 16000 acres, born OH, wife Matilda, 39, 4 sons and 4 daughters between ages 2 and 18, and house servant Henry Burke, 26. The original census copy (image 13) is very dim.
