Henry Roush (1752 - 1831)
"The Church Builder"
Henry Roush born 1752 in Shenandoah Co., Va., died 1831, is buried in the
Plants Cemetery on the front toward the river, in Meigs County, Ohio.
The Revolutionary Record of Henry Roush as preserved in the State Library of Richmond, Va. contains rolls of companies of troops paid off at Romney early in the Revolutionary War; on page 29 appears the Roll of John Tipton's Company. Henry Rouse (Roush) was a private in this company and received for services 88 days, the sum of 6-12-6. A receipt signed by Captain Tipton and dated
October 25, 1775, acknowledged receipt of the moneys to be paid by him to the various claimants. I declare this to be a true statement from the volume cited. Richmond, Va., February 1, 1926, (Signed, Rebecka Johnston)
Wife, Dorothy Nease Roush
Father: John Adam Raucsh was born about 1711 in Germany and died in Mill Creek, Shenandoah, Virginia.
Mother: Susannah Schlern was born in Palatinate, Germany.
