General Notes:
HANNAH FOWLER RUSLING, eldest daughter of James and Mary Fowler Rusling, was born in Hull, Yorkshire, England, August 21, 1793, and married Edward C. Johnston about 1814 at Newburgh, near Hackettstown, New Jersey. About 1815 they removed to Clermont County, Ohio, and in 1844 removed to Knox County, Ill., where he was a farmer and distiller, but soon gave up the latter business (though thriving at it) on religious principle. He used to say he "could have made a great fortune at distilling had he continued it," but he would not "for conscience sake." His widow, Hannah Fowler, died at Knoxville, in the said county, August 14, 1881, in her daughter's house, opposite the Methodist Episcopal Church, on Sunday about noon, just as the congregation were singing the Doxology.
