Generation: 1

  1. 1.  George Casper RoushGeorge Casper Roush was born in 1721 in Germany; died before 27 Apr 1811 in Freeburg, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania.

    Family/Spouse: Unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Children:
    1. 2. John George Roush  Descendancy chart to this point was born on 2 Aug 1753 in Pennsylvania, USA; died on 21 Oct 1822 in Freeburg, Snyder County, Pennsylvania, USA.


Generation: 2

  1. 2.  John George RoushJohn George Roush Descendancy chart to this point (1.George1) was born on 2 Aug 1753 in Pennsylvania, USA; died on 21 Oct 1822 in Freeburg, Snyder County, Pennsylvania, USA.

    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).

    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.

    Andrew married Catherine Hoot between 1833 and 1836. Catherine was born about 1809 in Pennsylvania, USA; died on 14 Jun 1881 in Whitehouse, Lucas County, Ohio, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
