Rusk DNA Project

Project Goals

1. Confirm or disprove relationships between Rusks thought to descend from David Rusk (b. ca. 1735) and his wife Mary Bailey of Baltimore, Maryland.

2. Identify relationships, where they exist, between early American Rusk families, and provide a place for Rusk descendants to compare their Y-DNA markers to others.

3. Identify relationships between American Rusk families and their international counterparts.
