On the 5 February 1573 Sibbell Rushen was married at the church of St. Nicholas, Warwick.
On the 8 June 1575, Roger Rushen made his last will and testament.
Amongst the Foleshill records we find a man of substance. The census returns give Thomas Rushen as a weaver. His draft Will in 1839 also states that he was a weaver, but he bequeaths, "five houses near the "Royal Oak" in Foleshill parish beside the Coventry - Stoney Stanton turnpike and a house at Little Heath, Foleshill, to his son George Rushen ." By 1846 he had two houses at Little Heath.
