General Notes:
JOHN RUSLING, seventh son of James Rusling (his second by Hannah Rose), was bred a merchant and tailor. He continued in one or the other of these occupations for some years, at Blairstown and also at Hope, Warren County, New Jersey. This was along about 1850, I think. In 1863 he was made Deputy Assessor United States Internal Revenue, under his brother Robert, and held that office acceptably for about ten years.
In 1873 he was appointed United States Postmaster at Belvidere, New Jersey, and continued until 1881. Then he removed to Hainesburg, Warren County, New Jersey, and engaged in mercantile pursuits, and died there in 1896. He was a tall, dignified man, of correct life and morals, though not a church member, I think, but respected and beloved by all who knew him.
His son, Robert H. Rusling, now lives at Blairstown, Warren County, New Jersey, has a hardware and tinsmith store there, and is a leading citizen of the town. Another son, John A., lives in Bridgeport, Conn.; is a merchant tailor and a man of good standing and much property there. A daughter, Harriet E. Cornell, lives at Stillwater, Sussex County, New Jersey, and is a bright and intelligent woman. 1
John married Margaret BENNETT on 24 Aug 1834 in Warren County, New Jersey, USA. (Margaret BENNETT was born on 9 Sep 1812 and died on 16 Aug 1893.)
