John George Roush

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).
