w/ Jackson Rusher
age 24y 5m 6d
Sarah Shuey was born in Virginia about 1810 . Her family moved to Parke County, Indiana where she married Jackson Rusher on November 8, 1838.
Most of the children of Jackson and Sarah Rusher were born in Indiana, but their last daughter, Minerva J., was born in Illinois, where they lived in 1850.
Rusher and Sarah lived out their lives in Illinois. She was a widow in 1880, living with her youngest daughter, implying Jackson Rusher likely died between 1871 and 1879. No death record or burial record has yet been found for him.
Sarah died in 1882. Her tombstone clearly states she is the wife of Jackson Rusher, but the marker is weather-worn and her age at death is not clear. Census records indicate she was born about 1810 in Virginia, meaning when she died on November 11, 1882 she would probably have been 72 years, 5 months, 6 days old --- born June 5, 1810.
