I am Searching for any information on My Decendents from Keokuk County. Robert Rash and His Family Mover there somtime before 1850, My Great Grand father Emanuel was born there in Richland around 1854. I am searching for Information Mainly on Him. Emanuel Rash. When He left Richland. Where He Went, When He Married, Thank you for any Information!! On All Rash's in or around Richland .

I also am a descendant of Robert Rash who died in Keokuk County in 1880 and his son Melvin Levi. I am not aware of a son named Emanuel, so I am not sure we are from the same line but would like to hear more from you.

In my file I show a William Watson Rash Jr. born 1859, a grandson of Robert Rash in Keokuk County, who married Eliza - we don't know her last name? Could this be your William? Please e-mail me at mamafriole@aol.com.

To Deb Morrison,
Sorry to cause some confussion about my Search for information on My Great grand father Emanuel Rash. His father was Daniel Rash, Son of Robert Rash. I hope this will clear up the confusion.

I'm also a descendant of Robert Rash and Seletha Bryant. The 1860 census shows William Watson Rash living with Robert and Seletha and there is also a William Watson, aged 2, living with them. I'm interested in learning the importance of the Watson name. My line comes down thru Robert's daughter Nancy who married Oliver Lundin. They had a son, Samuel Watson Lundin, my great grandfather. Do you know how the Watson name came into the family?
Thanks,
Marty
