I am also among the many descendants of John R Rushton Jr and Mary Coon of NS, via their granddaughter Mary Rushton Eagles of Belfountain, ON. I notice that Crossfield Rushton would be roughly the same age as John Jr above, so born around 1725/30. Could they have been brothers?Crossfield might then be the maiden name of their mother Sarah, Mrs. John Rushton, Sr.This is mere speculation on my part, however, there are a few Crossfield/Crosfeld births recorded in Yorkshire for the right time period. Yorkshire is given as the origin of some Rushton families, though not necessarily of our Rushton ancestors.
