5. WILLIAM RUSH (John--John--John), the eldest, son of John Rush (3) was born February 26, 1703. If the General Irvine Genealogy of the Rush family, from which the foregoing record is taken, is correct, the New Jersey branch of the Rush family must have descended as herein set forth.

The following are not accounted for in other lines of descent and are believed to be the issue of William Rush:

• 17. Peter, m. and had issue.
• 18. William, b. 1727; d. 1800; m. and had issue. There were no doubt other children;
• Michael Rush of Burlington County, N. J.; d. 1808;
• John Rush of Somerset and Washington Counties, Pa., and
• Conrad Rush of Somerset County, N. J., are believed to be of his issue.
