I have had to go back and re-do a lot of my research, because I didn't document it
well when I started out. This page hasn't been re-done. Some of the censuses were
available on Rootsweb, some I looked at the microfilm, some I looked at
transcriptions (book form) in the library.
The marriages come mostly from the Indiana State Genealogy website -
they have a database "Indiana Marriages to 1850"

I believe I found this biographical sketch on the Internet. Once again, I'm sorry I
don't have the address.
Robert Lusk (1781-1845) Biographical Sketch
Born near Londonderry, Ireland, March 8, 1781. He came to America with his parents, in
1792,
settling in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. In early life he manifested a thirst for
knowledge,
which could not be gained very extensively in the primitive schools of his adopted
neighborhood. In1804, he repaired to the Academy of Greensburgh, Pennsylvania, where
he received his preparatory course of study, and graduated from Jefferson College in
1810. He studied theology in the Philadelphia Seminary, and was licensed by the Middle
Presbytery, May 9, 1814. He was ordained by the same Presbytery, and installed pastor
of the Conococheague congregation, Chambersburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, June
16, 1816. He resigned this charge, October 15, 1823, and was installed pastor of the
congregation of Walnut Ridge, Washington County, Indiana, October 7,1824. Upon the
false charge of defrauding his neighbor, brought by a young man at the instigation of the
masonic element of the area in order to discredit Lusk's faithful testimony against secret
societies, he was suspended by the authority of Synod, August 10, 1825. These weighty
charges were thoroughly investigated by a committee of Synod, after the departure of
numerous theological foes in the split of 1833, and he was restored to ministerial functions,
October 15, 1834. He was re-installed pastor of Walnut Ridge, May 9, 1835. In 1840,
he and David Steele, together with several ruling elders, declined the ecclesiastical courts of
the Reformed Presbyterian Church due to ecclesiastical tyranny. They erected the
Reformed Presbytery, June 24, 1840. His name was stricken from the roll by authority of
Synod, September 18, 1840. He preached in the vicinity of his home as his health would
permit, and died of erysipelas, December 14, 1845. Though not considered a pleasing
preacher, yet he was a very instructive preacher and gifted in prayer. His literary
acquisitions were both general and accurate, and he was a reputable scholar in science and
medicine.
