• Notes

  Children of Andrew Roush and Catherine Hoot are listed in The Roush Family of America, Vol II, pg 118 - 119 It is my guess that Andrew ROUSE/ROUSH moved to Howell Co MO not long before 1860. His older children had apparently married in OH, as they are not present in the home (only Eli and Jerome). The gap in years before the next set of children indicates the likelihood that Catherine HOOT died, and Andrew remarried. He is no longer in Howell County by the time of the 1870 census. Since the "Roush Family in America" book indicates that Elias and Jerome were buried in Elkhard, Indiana, the family may have relocated to this area. One motivation for the move might have been the extremely violent condition of Howell County throughout the Civil War. [3]
