Researching the Sumner Connection

March 8th, 2015

Connecting up the different branches of the Russwurm family has long been of interest to me, and if you’re reading this I expect it might be of interest to you, too.   So I am very pleased to point you to Russwurm Rushworm Genealogy, a new website set up to share the ongoing research into the Russwurm/Rushworm connection with the Sumner family of Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee.

Jethro Russwurm, a member of the 4th Virginia Regiment from 1777 to 1778 may have died during the winter at Valley Forge. ~ document from Russwurm Rushworm Genealogy
