Don: per my Cargo family tree information Susanna's mother died in 1935 while she and James were on their way across the Atlantic. James died in Albion (now call Caledon), Peel co., Ontario, Ca. I did not have Robert or Samuel in my list of Children. The children I have listed are Jane, born in Ireland in 1819, Agnes, born in Ireland in 1821, Elzabeth born in Ireland in 1823, Susannah born in Ireland in 1825, another James born in Ireland in 1826, Margaret born in Ireland in 1829 , Hugh born in Ireland in 1834 and William born in Ireland in 1835.
James (the father) married Ann Montgomery Pendleton, b. Ireland 1812. She died in Scarborough, Ontario Canada on 13 September 1865. They had 8 children, of these I only know 5: George Albert Cargo (my husband's ggrandfather) born 10 Oct 1840, Margaret b. 1843, Mary Ann b. 1845, Charles James b. 1852 and Henry b. 1854. These children were all born in Canada.

Elizabeth Rusk/Joshua Polk married 1788

scorpioforu — 2008-12-18 20:25:49Z

I'm looking for information about an Elizabeth Rusk, who married a Joshua Polk (Joshua Polk born abt 1741 MD) in 1788, I believe in Maryland, but not sure. I know Elizabeth Rusk Polk died before 1810, because Joshua was already remarried to an Elizabeth Williams, by who he had his first child, Elizabeth in 1810 in Maryland. Joshua Polk and second wife, Elizabeth Williams Polk and three or four kids migrated from Maryland around 1827 to Highland County, OH, where they both died. (Joshua Polk's third wife was Margaret Paine, born in Ohio.)

Joshua Polk and second wife, Elizabeth Williams had a son they named Joshua Whittington Polk, born 1812 Maryland.
In the History of Highland County, OH, it states that Joshua Polk was a descendant of Benjamin Polk and Sarah nee Whittington Polk, Benjamin Polk being a son of Robert and Magdalen Tasker Polk. Have more information if interested.

POW/MIA Korean War, RUSK

powmiadna — 2008-08-13 21:37:20Z

I am searching for the family of a soldier who was killed in the Korea War. When he entered service he gave Lansing, Michigan as his home of record. His remains were never recovered.

Soldier: RICHARD GEORGE LEROY RUSK
Born: December 12, 1927
Date of loss: October 16,`952 KIA
608yh Air Control,502nd Troop Carrier Group

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. The Rusk family is one of those missing.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.

NualaCorner — 2008-08-02 15:27:53Z

My information is that Thomas Taylor and Susanna Cargo were married on 24 th october 1839 at Ballygrainey near Bangor.This is from a contemporary newspaper entry (and also church record).But,according to this,Susannah was the second daughter of an Alexander Cargo.Thomas and Susannah went on to have several children baptised at Ballygilbert Presbyterian Church.The earliest there was Lavinia who was baptized on 20th October 1841,followed by Edward,Elizabeth,Rachel,James Alexander,Thomas and Grace.Interestingly, I am actually looking for a record of the birth/baptism of a Sarah Taylor whose father was Thomas and I think that this is the right Thomas OK but no proof.Is it definite that Thomas and Susannah lived near Carnmoney? There IS a townland called Ballyrobert near Carnmoney but the Taylors that I have lived in a townland of the same name near Bangor.
as you probably know,Rachel was baptized on 12th Feb 1848 and was married on 4th Nov 1868 at Ballygilbert.Thomas was a carpenter by trade.I have transcribed Rachel's husband's name as Doddy.
Let me know if any of the above is useful please.

Re: Anna Maria Rüski from Sweden?

I would like to share additional info on this family.

Re: Hugh Rusk.....Mary Jane McAllister

mcalpage — 2008-07-01 02:37:38Z

You may know this by now, but Hugh Rusk was married to Hulda McCallister. ("Death records from Alleghany County, Virginia and other nearby counties 1849-1897," Virginia E. Smith, Athens, Ga. : Iberian Pub. Co., c1999. at page 12.) Mary Jane McCallister was Hulda's younger sister. Mary Jane and her son James were living with Hugh and Hulda Rusk in 1850.

1850 > VIRGINIA > ALLEGHANY > DISTRICT 1 Series: M432 Roll: 933 Page: Page 7b
Hugh B. Rush/Rusk 41Farmer 1,000 Virginia
Hulda 38 Virginia
Mary McCallister 26 Virginia
James 3 Virginia

Although it is possible that Hugh had an affair with his sister-in-law and was the father of James McCallister, I don't think it is very likely.

Mary Jane McCallister was still living with Hugh for the 1880 census and was listed as "Jane McCallister, sister-in-law."

I am transcribing the Evergreen Cemetary in Ontario, Malheur Co., Oregon and thought I would post pictures of the Pre-1900 headstones for those interested in having them. This is a very large cemetary, there is a possibility there could be other family members buried here after this time period. If you are interested in them, I can look for them specifically.
