Jane's sister, Rachel (STROUD) REES (1774-1854), died at Delavan, Wisconsin, 25 April 1854, and is buried there. Rachel STROUD married at Stroudsburg, Penna, 4 Oct. 1792, to Samuel REES (son of Samuel REES and grandson of Evan REES), born 20 Sept. 1760, and died, 16 Feb. 1844, near Stroudsburg.
The two widowed sisters, Rachel (STROUD) REES and Jane (STROUD) BUSH, are found in sparcely populated Wisconsin Territory, prior to 1842, but following their husbands' death. It is likely that they were in the company of grown children. It is interesting to note that these cousins of Isaac DECOURSEY died less than 30 miles from Watertown, Jefferson Co., Wisconsin where Isaac DECOURSEY settled in 1837. Isaac DeCoursey's father, Peter DECOURSEY (aka Peter Corsa), had served under their father, Col. Jacob STROUD, during the American Revolution. Isaac DECOURSEY and the STROUD sisters were related through the DEPUY line.
