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 from "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 adjoining 
counties.
