[This is more than likely John Roush, son of Francis "Frank" Roush who appears a few pages away in the same township. It is possible that he is working for this family and boarding with them. However, given the fact that his occupation is not stated as "laborer" it seems equally possible that they are relatives or close acquaintances. John could be with them to be closer to school, to help at a time of illness or a variety of other reasons.]

John married Catherine Bickel about 1803 in Pennsylvania, USA. Catherine was born in in Pennsylvania, USA; died in in Pennsylvania, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Per Baptismal Records, 1781-1808, some one-fourth of the membership of Zion (Morr's) Lutheran Church, near Freeburg, Snyder Co., PA, were/had been Rev. War soldiers:

John BICKEL, Sr. (wife, Catherine; son, John Jr., bap. 1782); Simon BICKEL (wife, Elizabeth; daughter, Rosina, bap. 1783); Thomas BICKEL (wife, Barbara; daughter, Mary Julia, bap. 1784);

Notes:

Married:
Estimate based on Baptismal records; first child born 1804.

Notes:

Census possibility 1790 Northumberland Co PA (later Union, present-day Snyder) George ROUSH 1 m over 16 5 m under 16 2 females

This fits what we know of his family fairly well. According to the "Roush Family in America", John George Roush would have had at this time 4 sons (George, Andrews, Phillip, John) all under 16, and one daughter, Margaret. The only discrepancy, then, is one additional son listed in ce census. Since we show a number of children born very quickly, and then none from 1785 - 1791 it is likely that there were some babies who didn't survive. I consider this a good possibility.

Birth:
Probably born in Lebanon County, PA, which is where he was baptized 2 Sept 1753 in Hill Church (Lutheran).

John married Christina Morr in 1773 in Freeburg, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. Christina (daughter of Andrew Morr) was born on 4 Aug 1757; died before 1793 in Pennsylvania, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
