Johann Adam Roush was born in 1711 in Meinback Over Maschul, Palatinate-Darmstadt, Germany. He and Susannah Schlern were married. He died on 19 October 1786, at age ~75, in Shenandoah County, Virginia. He was buried in Saint Marys Pine Church Cemetery, Mount Jackson, Shenandoah County, Virginia.

Johann Adam Roush was also known as Rausch. Johann (John) Adam RAUSCH > ROUSH
Sex: M
Birth: 1711 in Meinback Over Maschul, Palatinate-Darmstadt, Germany
Note:

Dottie Keegan states:

Johann Adam Rausch Americanized his name upon arrival in the Americas
in 1736, and from that point on, he is known as John Adam Roush.
John Adam sailed for America, by way of Rotterdam on the Brigantine
John of Perthamboy with Master George Frazer, arriving in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 19, 1736. Upon arrival he
immediately went to the Philadelphia court house and subscribed to
the "Oaths of the Government". Taking the oath with John, was a
fellow passenger, Johannes Sehler. It is believed that he was the
father of Susannah, whom John married.

Also sailing to America with John, were 110 fellow Palatinates.
German History reveals that there were two Palatinate states. The
upper, known as the Bavarian Palatinate and the lower, known as the
Rheinish Palatinate. Wars like the "30 year war", (1618-1648) and war
with the Spanish Netherlands which was called the "Spanish War of
Succession" (1701-1713) had laid waste and destruction to the
Palatinates, and during those times, 50% of the people were murdered.
John had lost his great great grandfather Johann Wilhelm Rausch in
death during the "30 years war." However, hard times were yet to come
when war broke out with Louis the XIV when he laid claim to the lands
in the "Predatory War" (1667-1697). He was angered when this small
country gave refuge to the Huguenots (French Protestants). This
disheartened the Palatines and they grew ready for a change to peace
and religious freedom. Queen Ann however, offered them a way out. If
they would serve the English Navy, by obtaining tar and tar products
from New York State for seven years, they would then own the land
they had worked. Thousands accepted, and the first ships of Palatines
began sailing for America in 1709. Upon arriving in America however,
it became apparent that the Queen's representatives had betrayed them
and misrepresented the offer, so this began a mass migration to lower
Pennsylvania where William Penn was truly offering them land and
religious freedom. So John had decided to join them in this new land.
Thus, we find the reason that he sailed to Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania.

John Adam is believed to have lived on a farm or in a small community
in or near Philadelphia, when he married Susannah Sehler (Sellers) in
1740, and this is where the first eight children are born. By 1761 he
and his family are living in Shenandoah Valley, Virginia on their
Mill Creek Farm where their 9th child is born. Records indicate that
George was Baptized in the Old Pine Lutheran Church in Philadelphia
in 1761. John Adam Roush's land increased from 400 acres to include
the Forrestville Tan Yards and with this growth came the need to
control the waterways because he had obtained land where he planted
Oak trees for the purpose of obtaining their chemicals for use in the
tanning of hides, as this was his occupation. This was a very
lucrative business in those days because of the many uses for the
leather. This was especially true during the Revolutionary War when
he supplied leather goods such as saddles and other equipment to the
Army. Besides being a most beautiful area, it was a land that was
very fertile, and it produced all kinds of grains, vegetables and
fruits while sustaining much livestock. Soon after clearing their
lands, the family built the Old Pine Church. John Adam gave the land
for the church, the cemetery and a school, while Philip, his first
born son provided the house for the Minister. Diaries of the paster,
Paul Hinkle give mention of the kindness and generosity of the whole
Roush family. When need arose for a new church, John's other son
Henry deeded the land for it, with Henry, Jacob, Daniel, George and
Jonas contributing to the building of it. Even Susannah, their aged
mother was listed on the record as having helped in the building of
the church. As the community again through growth, had need of
another church, John Jr. promoted and built the church near New
Market, calling it the Davidsburg Church.

John Adam was against the institution of slavery and would have no
slaves put to work caring for his vast holdings. He had taught his
children to love liberty, and that liberty was worth fighting for so
when the Revolutionary War broke out in 1775, all nine of his sons
fought at one time or another in the Continental Army. When America
is called to arms, John himself is too old to serve, so he will be
content to send his sons, and stay behind to supply badly needed
equipment and saddles to the army that is now home to his beloved
sons.

John Adam died on October 19, 1786, exactly 50 years to the day of
his arrival on American soil, and was laid to rest in the cemetery of
" Old Pine Church", with his wife Susanna who followed ten years
later resting beside him. On August 22, 1936, a large granite
monument was erected and dedicated to the "Family" of John Adam Roush
and the Sons of the American Revolution assisted at the dedication
ceremony. An Official S.A.R. grave marker rests at the base of John
Adam's old monument that is now encased in glass to preserve it from
the elements. This tribute can be seen in the cemetery of the "Old
Pine Church", (now called St. Mary's) in Shenandoah Valley, Virginia.


John Adam's son Jacob had fought in the battle of Point Pleasant, so
he had returned home with wonderful stories relating to his brothers
how beautiful the Ohio River Valley was. He had wanted his parents to
take up lands there, however, they were unwilling to leave their
beautiful home and start over at that point in their lives, so the
family had stayed in Virginia. But now that John and Susanna were
gone, he was able to convince his brothers to sell their holdings and
migrate to the Ohio Valley, so by 1798 this is where we find all the
brothers except Mark and Balser. The latter two choosing to settle
farther west, where no other word was heard from them except that
Balser may have gone to Tennessee, taking up a squatter's claim at
the junction of the Chackee and Clenah Rivers. It is sadly expected
that Mark died young, possibly killed by Indians, not too long after
the split. Eleanor, Elizabeth and Mary stayed in Virginia to run the
Tannery, with Eleanor and her husband Alexander following her
brothers to Ohio in 1816 where she settled in Green Township before
moving on to Green Mountain Tennessee. Jacob and Phillip bought two
tracts of land lying side by side around Cheshire in Adams County,
Ohio, with their brother, Captain John Roush purchasing land that had
originally been owned by England. It was a settlement named Graham
Station in Adams County Ohio, and the purchase was for 5,850 acres
for $5,020.00. John named himself and his brothers Jonas, George,
Henry, Daniel and Jacob as owners of the property.

The book "A History of Shenandoah Valley," by Wayland, has a chapter
about the Shenandoah Valley Roushes, contributed by Rev. L. L. Roush
of Rutland, Ohio.

"Biographical Sketches of Some of the Early Settlers of Meigs County"
by Jeremiah Ackley Wolfe gives information about the Roushes, as
well.

Note:

From "History of the Roush Family" by Lester LeRoy Roush:
"The burial plot is by Old Pine Church (now St. Mary's) a few miles
west of Mount Jackson [Virginia]. The grave of the wife, Susannah, is
not marked, but there is no reason to doubt that she lies by his
side."

Note:
The Information on John Adam Roush is taken from "The Roush Family in America". Volume 1.

"The origin of the clan appears to have been in Middle Germany. The name Rausch...rouzjan in the old German Language is surely the name of an old farmer family and means "to root out the forest, to dig in the ground. In Middle Germany you find the name in many towns around Halle, not far from Harz Mountains, in the other parts of the country, the name is rare. In the Harz Mountains there are in two villages, several families of our name who have lived there for some hundreds of years.

The principal branches of the family are the Switzerland group, and the Pomeranian, or North Germany group. These, with the original or Middle Germany branch, form three branches of the family. The name is found in practically all of the European countries today, but most especially in England, Germany and Switzerland.

From Kuhn's "German and Swiss Settlements," pg.. 1-30; we learn that the chief causes for these German home-loving people severing heir home ties and coming in such large numbers to the untried wilderness of a new country, subject to various European powers, were religious persecutions, devastating wars, political oppression, and social unrest. Though a people who loved their beautiful homes and prosperous farms in the Rhine Valley, they forsook all and came to America, the land where they could re-establish homes and worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience. The Period from 1702-1727 marks an era in the early German emigration. Between forty and fifty thousand left their native country.

See information from http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/pal_john1736.shtml.
John Adam Rausch is listed as a passenger which came from Palatine On Oct. 19, 1736 on the Ship Brig. John, of Perth Amboy (sometimes also called Perth Amboy. ) This quote is from pages 167-168 of Pennsylvania German Pioneers, A Publication of the Original Lists of Arrivals in the Port of Philadelphia from 1727 to 1808, by Ralph Beaver Strassburger, LL.D., President of the Pennsylvania German Society, and Edited by William John Hinke, PH.D., D.D, in three volumes, Vol 1 1727-1775, published by Pennsylvania German Society, Norristown, Pa, 1934. List A was the Captain's list. List B was the qualified list. List C was the list of those who took the Oath. The names should appear on each list. Only those males who were older than 16, were listed. If Nickolas traveled to America with an older brother, he would not be listed, as only males above age 16 were listed.
Peter Rausch came on Oct. 5, 1737 on the Vessel Townshead.
John Nicholas Rausch came on Sept. 19, 1738 on the Vessel Glasgow.
John Stephen Rausch came on Oct. 25, 1738 on the Vessel Davy.

In the closing months of the year 1736 or early in 1737, the Perth Amboy sailed up the Delaware River from Rotterdam and landed at Philadelphia. She had on board among others, a young immigrant whose full name was John Adam Rausch. He spent some years in eastern Pennsylvania, married, and a few years later with his young family, followed the migration to the Shenandoah Valley. The first indication of a permanent settlement is the grant of four hundred acres made to him and his wife Susannah on Mill Creek in 1773, in Dunmore Co. The settlement on Mill Creek was so largely Lutheran that it was an easy matter to organize a congregation. It was known as the Pine Church, and John Rausch and his many children with their families, formed a large part of its membership.

When the parents passed away, the sons finally yielded to the call of the great Northwest. Phillip evidently was the first to leave, but by the end of 1798, every son of John and Susannah had bidden farewell to the graves of his parents, and had taken up the long journey over mountain, valley, and river, to the banks of the Ohio. They took up a large tract of land and settled on both sides of the Ohio near the mouth of the Great Kanawha."m
