Is there a family relation between Benjamin Crawford Rush and the Benjamin Rush that signed the
Declaration of Independence? Bev Dietz a great grand daughter of Benjamin Crawford Rush.

Hi Beverly, I had to do some digging to resolve these relationships.
They both go back to William R. The first. But different mothers.
William I first wife was Ann Grey whose son William II is in our line with
Benj. Crawford.

William I second wife name was Aurelia, don't know maiden name. Her sons name was James R. Wife: Rachel Peart
Their son John Harvey Rush & Wife: Susanna Hall are the parents of Benjamin The Signer. His wife is Julia Stockton.

Hope this was of help to you, let me know. If I can help any further.

Good morning Beverly, After looking further this morning on my computer
I found that some things don't quite matchup with what I told you and what I have in my Computer.
This link may help or may not:

I will have to check some other documents I have. Will check back later.

Thank you for the help. My family link to the Rush line is thru Benjamin Crawford Rush and I believe they came to this country thru VA. I don't see an immediate connection with the Benjamin Rush that signed the constitution and was a founder of U of P. Family tales of coming over with William Penn abound but I haven't seen the evidence as of yet though they were all Quakers at one point. Aggain, thanks for the interest and info. Bev Dietz
