Notes for Julia Williams RUSH
Julia Williams Rush (1833-1898) was the second child of Samuel Rush (last son of the famed Revolutionary Doctor Benjamin Rush) and Anne Wilmer. Julia Rush married Alexander Biddle in 1855 and together they had seven children. She spent many of her early years living with her aunt and uncle, Julia Rush Williams (1792-1860) and Henry J. Williams (1791-1879). Many of the Rush family papers were inherited by Julia Williams Rush and Alexander Biddle, and these in turn were passed to their children. From these family papers, Alexander Biddle published two volumes of Dr. Benjamin Rush's letters in 1898. Alexander Biddle's son, Louis Alexander Biddle, published another volume of Rush material in 1905. After the last of the children of Julia and Alexander Biddle had passed away, in 1943 many of the Rush family papers were sold at the Parke-Bernet Galleries in New York. A portrait of Julia Williams Rush Biddle, painted by Cecilia Beaux in 1897, is now in the Philadelphia Museum of Art (Gift of Horace Brock).
