This is not my family, but I did some lookup information for you.According to what I found, your Helen Agnus Rush was born 9/8/1897 in MO d. 12/22/1955 Jackson CO MO,but her parents John and Mary and older siblings came from Ireland immigration date was 1889 on 1900 Jackson CO MO census.Listed on the death certificates I found her mother's maiden name was Greenan or Greeman.She married Lawrence Larkin Graham 26 Nov 1920 in Jackson CO MO.
Lawrence or Laurence Larkin Graham was born Nov 2 1896 in Grand Pass Saline CO MO an died Jan 27 1952 in Jackson CO MO. (This information comes from WWI registration and his death certificate.) Spelling of his first name did vary. Both he and Helen are buried in St Mary's Cemetery His parents were Robert L Graham and Nancy Louella Smith.They married 25 July 1893 in Saline CO MO.Robert L Graham b Sept 24 1872 d 2/11 1938 Jackson CO MO Nancy L Smith Graham b Oct 1876 d 8/23/1957 Jackson CO MO both are buried in Waverly Cemetery according to the death cert.
Robert L Graham was son of Joseph Graham b 1845 MO and Sarah A Davies b 1855.They married 12 Sept 1866 in Layfette CO MO by Lamar Bedsworth, Methodist Minister.Joseph states he was born in MOSarah states she was born in Mo but both parents were born in Ohio on 1880 Layfette CO MO Census.
It appears that the Rush family came from Ireland but your Graham side was in the US for a considerable amount of time.
You can email me at [email protected] if you have any questions. I can give you more information on where I found this information.
This should give you more information on your Graham family.
