History of the Roush Family in America: From Its Founding by John Adam Rausch in 1736 to the Present Time (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781025717807)

"History of the Roush Family in America" is a comprehensive genealogical study and historical account of the descendants of John Adam Rausch, who emigrated to the American colonies in 1736. This extensive volume traces the family's growth and influence across several generations, from their early settlement in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia to their expansion across the United States. Author Lester Le Roy Roush meticulously documents the lineage of various branches, providing a vital resource for historians and family researchers interested in colonial migration and the development of early American communities.

The work offers detailed insights into the lives of individual family members, their roles in significant historical events, and the social contexts of their times. By examining church records, land deeds, and personal testimonies, the book preserves the heritage of a prominent pioneer family. Readers will find a wealth of information regarding the Rausch (later Roush) surname, including its origins and the diverse contributions of its members to American society through the early 20th century. This scholarly yet accessible compilation serves as both a definitive family record and a fascinating window into the American experience of the 18th and 19th centuries.
