• Notes

  J. Leon Reisch (Leonard Thrush) took the oath of allegiance to the King of England upon his arrival in Philadelphia in 1750, Indicating that he must have been at least 16 years old. - Leonard and his four brothers all fought in the Revolutionary War. Leonard served in the 6th battalion,Cumberland County Militia, under Captain Alexander Peebles and Colonel James Dunlop. - Jacob Thrush, the immigrant, had sons named Leonard, Jacob, Peter, Richard and John. Leonard Thrush, son of Jacob, the immigrant, had seven sons names Jacob, Leonard, Barnabas, Peter, David, Richard and Martin. The five sons of Jacob, the immigrant, all saw service in the War of the Revolution from 1776 to 1783. Of the seven sons of Leonard, son of Jacob, the immigrant, Jacob did service in 1779 and Leonard in 1780. The other five sons are not recorded as doing military duty during the War of the Revolution. Presumably they all were too young. As before stated, no attempt has been made to identify the families of Jacob, Peter, Richard and John, sons of Jacob, the immigrant. My impression is that the families of this name to be found in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Ohio and Indiana trace their ancestry to one or the other of these four sons of Jacob, the immigrant. It would require more research than I have been able or care to make to determine the relationship. - Leonard Thrush was the oldest son of Jacob Thrush (J. Jacob Freisch). He was born in Germany and came with his father and younger brothers to America, landing in Philadelphia August 24, 1750. Leonard Thrush took the required oath of allegiance with his father and hence was sixteen years or more in age in 1750. He was a taxable in Hopewell Township, Cumb. Co. in 1780, as also were his two brothers, Peter and Jacob. (See Penna. Arc. S. III, Vo. XX). Leonard Thrush was a member of the original German Lutheran congregation at Shippensburg and his remains lie with his father's in the "Old Dutch Graveyard" in the eastern part of this town. The name of his wife has not been positively ascertained. They were the parents of ten children, as follows: 1. Jacob, oldest son, 2. Leonard, 3. Barnabas, 4. David, 5. Peter, 6. Richard, 7. Martin, 8. Catherine , married Jacob Foose 9. Rosanna, married Jacob Helmes 10. Susannah, married Jacob Fry -
