JOHN RUSH was a member of Otter Creek church as early as 1822, but was not
brought into the ministry till some years later. He was a citizen of some
prominence, and gave promise of usefulness in the ministry. But after he had
been preaching a few years, he engaged in trafficking in slaves. He refused to
desist in "trading in negroes," and the churches refused to hear him preach. His
son, James C. Rush, a lawyer and preacher, has been long and favorably known, in
Hart and the adjoining counties.
