Jane (STROUD) BUSH (1765-1842), daughter of Col. Jacob STROUD, Revolutionary Soldier, died 10 Dec. 1842 at Delavan, Walworth Co., Wisconsin, and is buried there. She married, John BUSH, son of John and Sarah (RICHARDS) BUSH. John BUSH died at Lansing, New York, 15 Aug. 1832.
Jane's sister, Rachel (STROUD) REES (1774-1854), died at Delavan, Wisconsin, 25 April 1654, 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. 1841, 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's father, Peter DECOURSEY had served under their father, Jacob STROUD, in the American Revolution. Isaac DECOURSEY and the STROUD sisters were related through the DEPUY line.
