Dear Angie,
THANK YOU for the recent postings. You have really been busy! I am looking forward to reading through all of the information, and thank you for including the source documentation!!!
Yours is the most complete line of information that I have seen so far documenting Ebenezer as the father of Parker Sullivan. The evidence seems circumstantial and spotty (for example, I would like to know how Ebenezer and Mary got together in Salem, NJ since neither was thought to have come from that area). I have seen a number of names listed for the father of Parker: Ebenezer, Moses, Moses Ebenezer, Parker. I would certainly like to find more STRONG evidence linking Capt. Ebenezer Sullivan to Parker, but your evidence is compelling.
Again, thank you for providing this information to the list.

Dear Angie,
Your notice that Ebenezer Sullivan might possibly be buried in Charlestown, NH got me looking… I notice that Charlestown is in Sullivan Co, named for General John Sullivan. Further, it turns out that there are a number of PARKERs who settled early in Sullivan Co., see: . Of the Parkers listed, notice that a Mary was born in 1760 to Isaac and Mehitable Parker. OUR Mary Parker, wife of Ebenezer Sullivan, is listed as being born in 1758 in Charleston, SC. I am now wondering if her birthplace was listed in some record as simply Charleston/Charlestown, and someone assumed SC instead of NH. Have you run across any of this information? What do you think?

Other descendants of Governor Sullivan have intermarried with those of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, with Lyman, Greene, Lawrence, Silabee, Warren, Dexter, Mason, Sargent, Haskell, Nolan, Garner, Valentine, Newton, Oakey, Schley, Clarke, Ward, Crocker, Blake, Dennie, Lynde, Perkins, Cunningham, Gardiner, Abbott, Grinnell.
Eben, b. Oct 3, 1750, d. June 3, 1799; m. Miss Cotton, of Berwick. In the Revolutionary war he distinguished himself for his daring and gallantry. He volunteered as a hostage to the Indians in the Canada campaign of 1776, and later was aid to his brother General Sullivan. Col. Sullivan, after the peace, was an able lawyer, and practised his profession with success. He was a person of great vivacity and wit, and much beloved and respected. He left one son and two daughters. His descendants intermarried with Rogers, Shaw, Fernald and other families.
Mary, born 1752, married Theophilus Hardy. With her brothers who were afterwards so distinguished, she received her education principally from her father. After her marriage she resided in Durham in the vicinity of her brother Gen. John Sullivan. During the revolution her husband sold his property for continental money, but they met their hard fortune with fortitude. Mrs. Hardy possessed a mind of uncommon strength, clear, discriminating and logical. It was well cultivated and stored with knowledge of the world and of human nature. Her strong understanding led her to discuss and decide questions, which would be ordinarily considered difficult of solution. She had the power in a great degree of communicating her views and thoughts. No one could more effectually teach and instruct others, as far as her information extended. Her stature was large, and in her person she was dignified and commanding. She d. in 1827, at the age of 75.
From her two sons and three daughters have sprung many descendants who have intermarried with Wells, Steele, Lockwood, Appleton, Cummings, Gannett, Bellows, Shaw, Stuart, Anderson, Hall, Weston, Lessner, Arnold, Frye, Keene, Fiske, Shattuck, Woodward, Swift, Hilton, Hutchens, Evans, Rowe, Parker, Swain, Hanson, Davis, Spurtin, Coverley, Thompson. Her youngest daughter Margery, was mother of Samuel Wells, Judge S.J.C. of Maine and Governor of that State, John Sullivan Wells of Concord, N.H. Attorney General and United States Senator, Joseph Bartlett, Lt. Gov. of Illinois, and Ferdinand Birt, for several years U.S. Consul at Bermuda.

Moses Ebenezer Sullivan, (1753-99), commanded a company in the Canadian campaign and was captured at The Cedars. He was held as a hostage by the Indians and rescued from burning at the stake by a British officer. When released he was aide to his brother Gen. John Sullivan in the Rhode Island campaign, 1778. He was born in Berwick, Me., and died in the Carolinas.
Captain of Scammon's Massachusetts Regiment. May to December 1775; Captain 15th Continental Infantry 1st January 1776. Taken prisoner at the Cedars, 20th May 1776, exchanged 1778.
Soliders and sailors P 795 say he is born 1753 in Berwick. Other sources show OCT, 03 1750 and 1754. This makes me belive different Ebenezers. Maine 1790 Census. P 55. Shows 1 son over 16, 1 son under 16, and 4 white females including wife, so he had 3 daughters. HAD TO HAVE MOVED AFTER 1780 TO SOUTH CAROLINA Abigail: If abigail dies around 1779 and Parker ws born 1782 this would fill in the holes. Mary: Looking at Amorys book it does not say anything about a second wife or going to South Carolina. His last daughter Lydia was born the year he died. It is strange the way John Sullivan adopted his son JOHN. New LDS records show Mary Parker as Ebenezers second wife. HAVE TO GET SOUTH CAROLINA DEATCH RECORDS AND HIS WILL. NEDD TO GET ON THE SOUTH CAROLINA LISTS.

1777: Throws Soup on Native Americans
Eben Sullivan, youngest son of Master John of Berwick, Maine, is held as a hostage by Indians for the fulfillment of a treaty. One evening Sullivan, having been dealt with in an insulting manner by some young Indians, throws a ladle of boiling soup in the face of his captors. Sullivan is saved from the angry braves only by intervention of his fellow prisoners.
Eben was a lawyer like his brothers John and James. Like the rest of his family and descendants he considered himself an assimilated American, marrying Abigail Cotton in 1772. Eben went on to be a major in the Army during the revolutionary wars and, once again captured by the Indians,was required to live a wandering life with the tribe under difficult circumstances, witnessing on one occasion the building of a large fire on which he was scheduled to be burned to death. He escaped captivity during a drunken celebration by jumping into a river, drowning a savage dog whose barking threatened to expose him. In his later life Sullivan maintained a law practice in Berwick, Maine. According to Eben's great nephew, Judge John Sullivan of Exeter, NY, writing in the 1850s, "Dangers had no terrors" for Eben. "He was a man of pleasure, gay, hospitable, generous to a fault." An elderly lady remembered him as "very mild gentlemanly man, one of the kindest and most indulgent men she ever knew. She never saw him excited but once, and then his voice and manner were terrific."

He was re-elected governor in 1809 and died December 4th of that year. James had four brothers, Benjamin, an officer in the British Navy who was lost at sea before the Revolution; Daniel

The first problem that confronted the court was how to quickly assemble a law library for their use the possession of which was an absolute necessity. They could not very well order one from
London. The lawyers of the colony who had turned their backs upon the patriots and remained loyal to the crown were of the high class of attorneys who owned valuable libraries. They had fled,
many of them going to England and in their haste had left their law books behind. These were promptly confiscated and purchased from the new government by the new court. Eben Sullivan the younger brother of James as well as his older brother John, one of the famous generals of the Revolution was now captain of a company that he had raised at Berwick of which Nathan Lord was lieutenant. This company had been in the engagement at Bunker's Hill. He was in the Canadian expedition and was at one time taken prisoner by the Indians of Canada, held as prisoner for some time and experienced suffering and cruelty at their hands but finally escaped.

A List of REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS
OF BERWICK. Compiled from the Records of the Town by W. C. SPENCER. 898.
Berwick is destined to be a place of historical interest. The number of persons tracing their family lines within its limits is surprising, and it will not be deemed presumptuous to say, that there is hardly a person of ancient American descent in New England, who does not include in his ancestry the name of some settler or early resident of the original town of this name. To aid those who are making historical and genealogical enquiries, this list of Revolutionary soldiers has been prepared from the town records. A tribute to the citizen soldiers of Berwick is the following: "To their everlasting honor be it said that they have furnished as many men, according to their number of inhabitants, as any town in the country. There are but a few ancient homesteads in the town,
that are not honored by the grave of some Revolutionary soldier."
During the Revolution two full companies were raised in Berwick. They were commanded by Captain Philip Hubbard and Daniel Wood. Captain Wood was soon after promoted to Major, and Ebenezer Sullivan, a brother of General John, succeeded him in command. More than one hundred from the two companies were minute men, who were enlisted May 5, 1775, and remained in the army throughout the entire struggle. The town sent sixteen soldiers to Dorchester Heights.

CHARLESTOWN MONUMENTS
BUNKER HILL MONUMENT Monument Avenue, Charlestown (1743)
The English won the Battle of Bunker Hill on June 17,1775, but the battle marked the point where "British tyranny ended and American liberty began." The colonists who died at Bunker Hill included English, Scots, Irish and Africans, a melting pot of future citizens of the nation.
Of the New England militiamen who rushed to Charlestown to defend Boston Harbor, 176 were Irish-born, and hundreds more were born of Irish parents. Historian Michael J. O'Brien notes there were seven Irish officers and dozens of Irish-American officers, including Colonel John Stark of New Hampshire, one of the heroes of the day-long conflict. Major Andrew McClary of Epson, New Hampshire, whose parents were from Tyrone, was killed at the very end of the battle after fighting bravely throughout the day. Also fighting that day was Captain Ebenezer Sullivan, whose brothers James would become governor of Massachusetts and John, a general in Washington's Army, would force English troops to evacuate Boston on March 17, 1776.
On June 17, 1825 Revolutionary War hero Marquis De Lafayette laid the corner stone for the Memorial and Daniel Webster gave the oration. The 221 foot monument, with a 30 foot base was formally unveiled on Saturday, June 17, 1843. US President Zachary Tyler and his cabinet attended the ceremony.
In the 19th century Charlestown increasing became an Irish neighborhood, with a strong contingent of families who settled here from Donegal and today continues to have a significant Irish-American population.
The Monument is open every day of the year except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. It is administered by the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.

SULLIVAN
Hon. Isaac Newton Sullivan, whose high professional attainments are attested by the fact that for twenty-six years he was a member of the Idaho supreme court, serving for eleven years of that period as chief justice, is now giving his attention to the private practice of law as a senior partner in the firm of Sullivan & Sullivan of Boise. He was born in Delaware county, Iowa, November 3, 1848, a son of Aaron Sullivan, who was born in Logan county, Ohio, near Urbana, where he was reared, educated and married. He was a representative of one of the old families of New Hampshire and its believed that from the same ancestry came John Sullivan, who was a delegate from New Hampshire to the first continental congress at Philadelphia in 1774. Aaron Sullivan devoted his life to farming and stock raising. He married Jane Lippincott, who was also a native of Logan county, Ohio, the wedding being celebrated in 1838. They began their domestic life in their native county but in 1844 removed westward to Delaware county, Iowa, where their remaining days were passed. They were early settlers of that locality and for many years were rated among its most substantial and valued citizen. The mother passed away in 1887 and the father, who was born February, 21, 1811, died in 1894 at the venerable age of eighty-three years. He was a well-to-do farmer of Delaware county and at one time owned about a section of land. The close connection of the family with the representatives of that name in New Hampshire comes through John Sullivan, the paternal grandfather, who was born in the Old Granite state, while his parents came to the new world from the north of Ireland and were of Scotch-Irish descent.

Dear Angie,
THANK YOU for the recent postings. You have really been busy! I am looking forward to reading through all of the information, and thank you for including the source documentation!!!
Yours is the most complete line of information that I have seen so far documenting Ebenezer as the father of Parker Sullivan. The evidence seems circumstantial and spotty (for example, I would like to know how Ebenezer and Mary got together in Salem, NJ since neither was thought to have come from that area). I have seen a number of names listed for the father of Parker: Ebenezer, Moses, Moses Ebenezer, Parker. I would certainly like to find more STRONG evidence linking Capt. Ebenezer Sullivan to Parker, but your evidence is compelling.
Again, thank you for providing this information to the list.

Dear Angie,
Your notice that Ebenezer Sullivan might possibly be buried in Charlestown, NH got me looking… I notice that Charlestown is in Sullivan Co, named for General John Sullivan. Further, it turns out that there are a number of PARKERs who settled early in Sullivan Co., see: . Of the Parkers listed, notice that a Mary was born in 1760 to Isaac and Mehitable Parker. OUR Mary Parker, wife of Ebenezer Sullivan, is listed as being born in 1758 in Charleston, SC. I am now wondering if her birthplace was listed in some record as simply Charleston/Charlestown, and someone assumed SC instead of NH. Have you run across any of this information? What do you think?

Have copy of deed from SAMUEL RUFFNER AND CATHARINE his wife to Henry Harmon, a lot lying, in the town of Charleston devised to Samuel Ruffner by his father by reference to his will. Deed was dated Dec. 12, 1818 and recorded the same day.
The Ruffners were a very prominent family in Charleston, Kanawha County, Virginia. Kanawha County along with a number of other counties pulled away from Virginia and formed West Virginia. I am not sure but I believe it was over slavery.
According to a "Short history of Page County, Va. by Harry A. Strickler 1952" Samuel Ruffner was born Oct. 20, 1770, died in Ohio. He was a twin.
I do not know what became of them. They lived in Kanawha County for a time.
Catherine Daggs was called "Lovey". I do not know why that was unless she was spoiled by five brothers.
------------------------
They had a letter written on Aug. 14, 1840 from Reuben (Ruel's brother ) in Virginia complaining about the salt business monopoly which was causing hard times and although Ruel wanted him to sell and come to Missouri it was too hard to sell at that time and he spoke of "Lovey" (Ruel's sister), Catharine and Pernal (Ruel's brother), both living in Kanawha, County
RUEL DAGGS
2.
In May 11, 1854 Reuben wrote Ruel they had had a late spring and things were very high - $10.00 and $12.00 for bacon, $8.00 a barrel for flour, corn meal $.87 bu. Irish potatoes $.62, coffee $.15 lb. sugar $.08 lb. and molasses $.37 gallon. He mentioned Pernal living at 2 Mile Creek and Catharine (Lovey) at the head of Pohalatier.
--------------------------------------------------------
The Ann Ruffner on this census does not match the age of Ann's mother. Could this be Catherine Ann Daggs Ruffner? In the letter from her brother, it says she was back in Virginia. The age for this Ann would make her born in about 1784.

GOODSPEED BIOGRAPHIES - 1889-1890
(For complete biography, see Silas Ruffner notes)
Elias Ruffner, came from what is now Kanawha County, West Virginia, was a farmer by occupation. The elder Ruffner moved from Virginia to Indiana, and afterward to Illinois, Wisconsin, Arkansas and Texas. He came to Arkansas in 1844, and located at Crowley's Ridge, in Poinsett County, and in 1857 removed to Texas, where he contracted pneumonia, and died the same year, age sixty years. He was married to Nancy Phillips, of Virginia, and had five children four of them living in Lawrence County and one in Prairie County. The mother is still living (Nancy) in the former county, at the age of seventy-eight years, and has full possession of all her faculties.

MIGRATION
Was the reason for leaving Illinois the devistating snow of the 1830's and the disastrous flood in 1832 - This was in Shawneetown, Gallatin Co., Illinois. There are so many family connections to this area.
Did Elias work in the salt industry in Saline Co., Illinois? We know he came from the Kanawha Co. Ruffner family who controlled the salt manufacturing and supplied most of the country.
From the Saline Co., Illinois Salt Works by Louise Cook.
HARRISBURG, Ill. (Sept. 22, 1997) - Saline County takes its name from its salt works, as most residents know, and most people who live in the county even have a pretty good idea of where the old salt works are. But fewer people understand just what was involved in the operation of the salt works.
Reconstructions of pottery found at the vicinity indicate that early peoples collected water from the salty springs and allowed it to evaporate. They then collected the salt.
When European trappers and settlers began moving into the region, salt-collecting methods became more aggressive. A good illustration is the list of supplies John Coffee estimated it would take to make a successful enterprise of running the salt works in 1804, as quoted in J. Ward Barnes' essay on the salt works in the book "Saline County, A Century of History, 1847-1947."
Coffee's list of estimated supplies and workers required for the enterprise is as follows: 800 kettles, 50 woodcutters, 25 waggoners, 10 boys, 10 cooks, 35 kettle attendants, 100 wagon horses, 10 horses to draw water, 25 wagons, 5 common overseers, two superintendents, one clerk, one carpenter, two stone masons, 150 axes, one blacksmith, and assorted other tools, workers, and large quantities of foodstuffs. His estimated cost for necessary supplies and workers was $54,466.67, to which he added enough for contingent expenses to bring the amount to $60,000. This amount was in 1804 dollars. He felt the salt works could bring in a gross income of $81,900.
Typically, settlers would evaporate salt water in large kettles over fires. Water was pumped into the kettles through pipes made of wood from the surrounding timber stand. The same timber stand which provided the pipeline provided the wood for the fires which evaporated the water.
As the timber line moved back due to heavy harvesting, the kettles moved back with it, and the pipelines became correspondingly longer. One estimate puts the amount of pipe laid from 1800 to 1873 at 100 miles.
As the water boiled, impurities were ladled out. Some impurities found in the salt included sulfur, lime, and earth. The salt and earth would form crusts on the insides of the kettles, so it had to be scraped off fairly often. It was put onto a drain board to dry, then was packed into barrels and shipped out.
Eventually about a thousand men worked the salt springs at a given time. Each year approximately 400,000 bushels of salt could be taken from the works, although one estimate puts that figure nearer 350,000 bushels.
There was a great demand for salt from this area, known as the Gallatin Saline, at the height of the works. Since this was the only major salt works west of the Alleghenies at that time, it served as a source for salt for people from Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Alabama.
So important was the Saline River salt industry that the U.S. Congress authorized the setting aside of a reservation for the works, setting boundaries which would keep settlers out and keep an adequate supply of timber reserved for the sole use of the salt works. The area set aside was six miles square, or roughly 100,000 acres.
Despite the setting of boundaries, other people in the area continued to cut timber and remove it from the reserved area. It became such a problem that Josia Meigs, Commissioner of the General Land Office in Washington, D.C., authorized the use of military force if necessary to remove interlopers. There was also a problem caused by squatters moving within the reservation area to live.
Eventually, the salt works began using coal as a fuel instead of timber. As a result, residents in the area put increasing pressure on the government to sell the reservation lands. In time this came about,
and by December 1, 1847, nearly 94,000 acres of the original reservation had been sold.
Economically, the Saline River salt works suffered from competition from the Kenhawa Saline in western Virginia. In 1822 this caused a sudden drop in the price of salt. In 1818 the salt sold for $1.25 per bushel. In 1822, a bushel of salt brought only 37 1/2 cents. The price rebounded somewhat after 1822, reaching 75 cents per bushel in 1823, then dropping again to 62 1/2 cents per bushel by 1840.
By 1835 the Kenhawa Saline was outproducing the Gallatin Saline, and by 1840-1850 the local salt works were supplying primarily a local market.
We know that Elias and his family was in New Madrid Co., Missouri by 1836.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES ON ELIAS RUFFNER
Anguish (Angus) Daggs appears on the 1823 Pike Co., Kentucky Tax list. This places the grandfather of Elias in that county, unless it is a uncle as there appears to either be another marriage for a Angus Daggs or Angus had a son who went by the name Angus.
It is also possible that Elias was living there and moved back to Virginia after his marriage to Nancy Phillips in 1827 (Pike Co., Kentucky). It is also possible that he and Nancy remained there. Their first son, Lewis Ruffer was born about 1829. The only Phillips that appear on this tax list is Zachariah Phillips. There is also a Jeremiah Smith living in this county...could he be related as a possible 2nd father-in-law?
Their next child was Angus Ruffner and he was born in Illinois in 1831. It appears that they moved to Indiana for a while as there is a child Henry Ruffner who was born about 1835 in Indiana. Their next child was Silas who was born in 1836 in Missouri and the rest of the children were born in Arkansas. Still there is nothing found on Henry and Sarah Ruffner who are not mentioned on the bio of Silas.
Samuel Ruffner died about 1830 (Ohio) was this when Elias decided to leave Virginia? (WV) Was he living there taking care of his father's business? Did Samuel completely remove to Ohio without having any business concerns in Virginia? What ever happened to Catherine Daggs Ruffner the mother of Elias? Between 1929 and 1831, Elias was in Illinois, then he and his wife and two children traveled to Indiana where the third child was born...or....was this child of a close family member? In the bio of Silas, it states they went to Wisconsin...also it states they were in Indiana before Illinois...They then traveled to Missouri in about 1836-7. Elias is on the Arkansas Tax Rolls in 1838.
The rest of the children were born in Arkansas. First they were in Mississippi Co., Arkansas, then Jackson Co. Later on the county line must have changed, as Angus was living in Jackson Co., and on one census he was in Lawrence Co., where the rest of the Ruffner family was living after growing up and marrying.
Elias Ruffner died in 1857 - on trip to Texas...where? Why did he take a trip to Texas? Was it to visit family? If Elias made a trip to Texas in 1857, he would have only been 4 years older than 43 as stated on the 1850 census. This would place his birth at 1814. There is not one date for his birth that is conclusive. Is it possible that the date should have read 1867? This would have made Elias born in 1800-1801 which would be correct.
It states that Elias was 66 years old in 1857 making him born about 1791, other records indicate he was born in 1797. From the LDS Genealogy Library submission for Elias, it states that he was born in 1807. It is possible that this is another Elias Ruffner as no proof is found that this is the same Elias Ruffner that was born to Samuel Ruffner and Catharine Ann Daggs of Virginia. Samuel Ruffner was the son of Joseph Ruffner, the Peter Ruffner line. The children were named after many of the Kanawha Co., Ruffner's, the pattern is obvious.
The Goodspeed does state that Elias was born in Kanawha Co., WV. Handed down family information always has a way of changing as dates are not always documented. Tax records show that Elias was in Arkansas/Missouri in 1838, so coming to Arkansas in 1844 information is incorrect on the biography. This would possibly compensate for the birth date being incorrect. Silas said he was born in 1836 but his Civil war records say he was 28 in 1865, on his pension application it states he was 78 years old in 1914, this would have made his birthday 1826, a ten years difference.
Nancy Phillips Ruffner remarried after Elias's death to Ruben Gillaspie. She was still living in Alicia, Marion Twp next to her children, not in the former county as stated on Silas's biography. Unknown place of burial for any of the family.

WILL-ESTATE
LOOSE PROBATE PAPERS, LAWRENCE CO., ARKANSAS
In Lewis Ruffner Loose Probate Papers for Lawrence Co., Arkansas there were the following receipts. Was Elias Ruffner also Henry Elias Ruffner of Elias Henry Ruffner? For some reason these receipts were in Lewis Ruffner's folder. Elias died in 1857 these are dated 1855. The Henry Ruffner that was living with them was only about 20 years old and it's doubtful that he was loaning money. There are further loans in 1856
#1 Receipt
$200
One day of the date I promise to pay Henry Ruffner two dollars with ten percent per annum for value received this January 1st 1855.
Signed: Wm. H.H. (or T.) Taylor.
#2 Receipt
One day after date I promist to pay Henry Ruffner the sum of three dollars and twenty cents for value received of him drawing ten percent till paid this the 7th January 1855
Signed: John (X his mark) Dickerson.
Also noted this more than likely wouldn't be collected as he was "desparate".
Receipt #3
There is another receipt for $140 but unledgable as these are copied from colored paper. On the list for money owed to the Estate, it notes that there is a note on George Forrester for $140.00 at 10% from 1st 1855 - Balance due is $257.00 - it also notes he was "Desparate". These notes look to be uncollectable.
There are others but believe them to be money that Lewis loaned. These were in the name of the above mentioned Henry Ruffner. Lewis more than likely didn't have money to loan in 1855 as he was living with his father and unmarried at that time.
NOTE: Copies of the Lewis Ruffner Loose Probate Papers in possession of Kay Butcher.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
THE CIVIL WAR
Elias Ruffner had died before all four of his sons were called to duty and served in the Civil War. One can only wonder as to what had gone on before Elias ever moved to Arkansas. His father had moved to Ohio in about 1820 and died about 1830. There is no mention of Elias being in that state. It is obvious that his brothers and sister were. It is unknown as to what the feelings were about slavery but more than likely as all family traditions are, there were imposed ideas that were passed down to the children. In the below article from Peter Ruffner and His Descendants, one has to wonder also, if Elias had been in touch with his family. He and Nancy had been living in Virginia when their first child was born (no records found on this, other than their first son was born there). They didn't come to Arkansas until about 1838, but had traveled to different states, it also is presumed that they had family in each state, especially with Silas marrying cousins.
Samuel Ruffner's Will has never been found, it is unknown if Elias ever received inheritance, but there should have been something. Samuel was left an inheritance but prefered to farm. His brothers on the most part were very wealthy as many of the Ruffner's in West Virgina were, including the ones who migrated to Ohio. There is no indication on Elias's or his families stand on slavery, but it is obvious that they didn't own any. There are only a few documents for them owning land, and some tax records, which indicates his son's were land owners.
THE RUFFNER'S AND THE CIVIL WAR
Peter's Descendants in the Armed Services
From pre-Revolutionary War days to 1966 and Viet Nam, Peter's descendants have served their country well and in large numbers. From privates to a four star General.
In the Civil War, or War Between the States, as it was called, the Ruffner's were known to have served the Union forces. In the book Peter Ruffner and his Descendants the ones who served the Union were the only ones listed. It noted that the ones who served the Confederate served as his conscience dictated.
As in so many large families, the Ruffner family was tragically divided, with brothers and cousins on opposing sides. For the most part those residing in Virginia served with the Confederates, those from Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, with the Union forces. But there are always the exceptions. For instance one young Virginian, an officer in the Virginia Militia, was so opposed to slavery and the idea of secession, that he resigned his commission. Similarly one of the Illinois Ruffners chose to serve with the Confederate forces.

NOTES ON GOODSPEED
The Goodspeed Biography was printed in 1889-1891- the salesmen for the book would visit families and if they wanted their names in the book, they would pay to tell their stories, with a promise to have their names published. There were many errors as far as spelling and changed information as it was rewritten by editors and the typesetters more than likely made errors. There is many conflicts as to dates also on the Ruffner sons.

Nancy Phillips Ruffner was from Virginia, and had five children. Elias died in 1857. It states in the Goodspeed Biography of Silas Ruffner - 1889-90 - that the mother was still living in the former county, at the age of seventy-eight years, and has full possession of all her faculties. In the biography it states that they located at Crowley's Ridge, in Poinsett county in 1844. Elias removed to Texas, where he contracted pneumonia and died the same year.

LEWIS RUFFNER
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Lewis Ruffner - was first married to A.J. By this marriage he had one child, Henretta. He had to of married about 1855-1856. A.J. died between the years of 1857-1860, as on the 1860 Census he and Henretta are the only ones listed.
On August 14, 1860, Lewis married Mary Margaret Orr on August 14, 1860. Mary Ann Margaret Bush Orr was the widow of Joseph T. Orr, John and Mary Orr's son.
In 1862 the Civil War broke out and Lewis and his brother all enlisted. They all served until captured, imprisoned and released at Jacksonport, Arkansas in June of 1865. (See below for war records.)
Apparently Lewis grew cotton and there are receipts in his estate for bales of cotton and charges for picking it also.
On the 1870 Census, Lewis and Margaret are listed along with the following children; Jefferson D, Samuel, Silas B., George C. Nancy E., and Henrietta. In 1873, Lewis died. From the Loose Probate Papers it looks like he had been sick and had seen a doctor in Illinois as there was a bill that had to be paid from his estate.
In September of 1874, Mary Margaret wrote her last Will and Testament and died within 48 hours. In her Will, she stated that her only child was Nancy E. Ruffner and that her mother was a McCarroll. Her Will was thrown out of court and it stated that she was having delusions and was being influenced by others.
NOTE: This is the same Mary Margaret Bush (Daughter of Stephen L. Bush, his wife was Elizabeth C. Tate).

WILL-ESTATE
LOOSE PROBATE PAPERS, LAWRENCE CO., ARKANSAS
In Lewis Ruffner Loose Probate Papers for Lawrence Co., Arkansas there were the following receipts. Was Elias Ruffner also Henry Elias Ruffner of Elias Henry Ruffner? Or was it Henry Lewis Ruffner? For some reason these receipts were in Lewis Ruffners folder. Elias died in 1857 these are dated 1855. The Henry Ruffner that was living with them was only about 20 years old and it's doubtful that he was loaning money. There are further loans in 1856
#1 Receipt
$200
One day of the date I promise to pay Henry Ruffner two dollars with ten percent per annum for value received this January 1st 1855.
Signed: Wm. H.H. (or T.) Taylor.
#2 Receipt
One day after date I promist to pay Henry Ruffner the sum of three dollars and twenty cents for value received of him drawing ten percent till paid this the 7th January 1855
Signed: John (X his mark) Dickerson.
Also noted this more than likely wouldn't be collected as he was "desparate".
Receipt #3
There is another receipt for $140 but unledgable as these are copied from colored paper. On the list for money owed to the Estate, it notes that there is a note on George Forrester for $140.00 at 10% from 1st 1855 - Balance due is $257.00 - it also notes he was "Desparate". These notes look to be uncollectable.
There are others but believe them to be money that Lewis loaned. These were in the name of the above mentioned Henry Ruffner. Lewis more than likely didn't have money to loan in 1855 as he was living with his father and unmarried at that time.

NOTES - INFORMATION - E-MAIL - POSTINGS
In reply to my posting on GenForum
These Ruffner's in Lawrence Co., Arkansas were all sons of Elias & Nancy (Phillips)Ruffner. Lewis was born Virginia, Angus was born in Illinois, Joseph was born in Arkansas...this couple also had a son by the name of Silas Ruffner who was born in 1836 in New Madrid Co., Missouri (My g,g,grandfather)...they all served in the Civil War out of Jackson Co., Arkansas. On the 1850 Bird Twp., Jackson Co., Arkansas cenus there were two more children that is not believe to be theirs (or were they?). Henry Ruffner who was born in about 1835 in Indiana and a Sarah Ruffner who was born in 1839 (Arkansas?)Elias Ruffner had in fact been in Indiana but have no clue as to what county.Elias was born in Kanawha Co., Virginia about 1801. I have been trying to connect any Ruffner's of Indiana to my family that lived in Lawrence and Jackson Co., Arkansas.
Elias Ruffner is presumed to be the son of Samual Ruffner and Catherine Ann Daggs. Samuel was the son of Joseph, Sr., son of Peter Ruffner.

Notes for MARY ANN MARGARET BUSH:
MARY ANN MARGARET BUSH
Mary Ann Margaret Bush was the wife of Joseph T. Orr, the son of John Orr. Joseph died in 1859, and she married Lewis Ruffner. See notes below. On her will she stated that her mother was a McCarroll. There is no records to support this.
LOOSE PROBATE RECORDS-WILL
RUFFNER, MARY MARGARET (Widow of Lewis Ruffner)
Died: Sept. 1874. She died 43 Hours after dictating a Last Will and Testament.
Will: Dated 29 Sept. 1874.
This Will later rejected by the Probate Court.
In this Will she said Nancy E. was then her only daughter. Exec'r: 17 December 1874, Joel G. Brandy Appt'd.
In 1875 this Executorship was revoked by the court and Benjamen R. Bush was appt'd Adm'r. April 1875.
See Lewis Ruffner notes for further on this.
On Mary Margaret Orr Ruffner's Will it states that Benjamen R. Bush was appointed Adm'r in April 1875 - Benjamin's first wife was Mary M. Orr, she died in 1880, and was the daughter of John Orr. This Mary Ann Margaret married Joseph T. Orr, the son of John Orr.
On her Will, it also states her mother was a McCarroll. This needs to be investigated further. There are no marriage records in Lawrence Co. Arkansas to support her statement.

Hand written document

Lewis Ruffner to Mary M. Orr
This is to certify that J.R. G. Gillespie an ordained Minisister of the Methodist church South did on the 14th day of August 1860 perform the marriage cerriniom between Lewis Ruffner aged 31 years and Mary Margaret Orr aged 19 years both of Lawrence County in the State of Arkansas My credentials is recorded at Smithville Lawrence County Arkansas this the 10th Oct 1860
Signed: R.G. Gillespie, S.D.
Filed day 10th and recorded December 29th 1860
Signed A. Lorrie/Lonie (?) Clerk
and exofficio Recorder
NOTE: Copy of marriage license in possession of Kay Butcher - 9/2000
Was this J.R.G. Gillespie, Reuben Gillespie that was married to Nancy Ruffner, the g,g,g,grandmother? It seems odd that he had a church in Smithsville, Arkansas when he was living in Marion Twp., Lawrence Co., Arkansas.

Notes for ANGUS RUFFNER:
ANGUS RUFFNER
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Angus Ruffner was the son of Elias Ruffner. In the Goodspeed Biographies (1889) it states that one son was living in Jackson Co. Arkansas. From the Civil War records it states that he was from Jacksonport, Arkansas and also used the name of Andrew Ruffner. All other records shows him as Angus. Angus was born in Illinois.
Angus Ruffner was the Postmaster at the Alicia, Lawrence Co., Arkansas Post Office.
NOTE: Angus states his age as 25 when he signed up for the Civil War, which he signed up for in 1862. On a 1860 Census for Lawrence Co. Angus is listed as 28 years old. All of the Ruffner's ages are off from other records by 2-5 years. On Angus Ruffner cemetery stone it say he was born in 1831 but by the Civil War records, he would have been born in 1828. The Civil War records say he was 25 and he would have to been born in 1843, a 12 year difference.

I. The following Roll of Honor is published in accordance with Paragraph I, General Orders, No. 131 (1863). It will be read to every regiment in the service at the first dress-parade after its receipt.
II. Attention is called to the manner in which the selections under the law should be made. The non-commissioned officers and privates are authorized, at the first dress-parade after each victory the company shall have assisted
to achieve, to distinguish by a majority of their votes one private or non-commissioned officer most conspicuous for gallantry and good conduct in the battle. Should more than one soldier be hereafter selected by a company
as equal in merit, the name to be announced upon, the roll will be determined by lot. Commissioned officers distinguished for gallantry on the field are not to be selected by the vote of the company, battalion, or regiment to which they belong, but a statement of their special good conduct should be made by their immediate commander and forwarded through the regular channel to this office.

Kay,
I managed to get to the archives for a while today. Sad to say it wasn't a very productive trip. So here goes:
Strangely, I didn't see a listing for your ggrandparents - Charles & Sarah on the 1900 Lawrence Co. census. I did see a Henry Ruffner, b. 1869, AR, with wife Dona, b. 1872 - children Katie, Jessie, John and Ora. Also saw an entry for Anders Ruffner and wife Jane - he from IL and she from SC. Are any of these folks yours?
Joseph R. Owens and wife Nancy A. - Greene Co., AR, Coche Township. He was born Aug 1871, age 28, AR. She was born Feb 1879 , age 21, AR The children: Martha F., Dec. 1895, 4 yrs old, b. AR; Delma L. , Dec 1895, age 4, AR; Margret PANKEY, m-in-law, June 1847, age 52, AR
Samuel Ellis b. Dec 1870, b. 29, TN --- Lawrence Co, AR, Campbell Township. Wife Ora, March 1871, 27 y/o, AR; Mardell, (dau), Nov. 1898, AR
No listing for Cline or Dorr on the index to the 1900 AR census.
Sorry this is all I had time to pursue.

Notes for HENRY RUFFNER:
HENRY RUFFNER
There is little known about Henry Ruffner. Elias was said to have only five children but Henry shows up on the 1850 Jackson Co., Arkansas Census records along with Sarah Ruffner who was to be born in Arkansas. I tend to think that Sarah's birth place to be wrong as so much of the information is. Elias died in 1857 and Henry and Sarah don't show up on the 1860 Census, nor does Silas and his wife. Much of the 1860 Census records were faded or just unledgable.

Notes for SILAS RUFFNER:
SILAS RUFFNER
-----------------------------------------------------
GOODSPEED BIOGRAPHIES - written in 1889-1890
SILAS RUFFNER, of Walnut Ridge, is one of the oldest citizens of Lawrence County. He was born in New Madrid County, Missouri in 1836, and is the same age as that of his adopted State- Arkansas. His father was Elias Ruffner, of what is now Kanawha County, West Virginia, who was a farmer by occupation. The elder Ruffner moved from Virginia to Indiana, and afterward to Illinois, Wisconsin, Arkansas and Texas. He came to Arkansas in 1844, and located at Crowley's Ridge in Poinsett County, and in 1857 removed to Texas, where he contracted pneumonia, and died the same year, aged sixty years. He was married to Miss Nancy Phillips, of Virginia, and had five children, four of them living in Lawrence County and one in Prairie County. The mother is still living in the former county, at the age of seventy-eight years, and has full possession of all her faculties. Silas Ruffner was reared as a farmer, and had been in that business until within the past three years. He has had but a limited education, but is a man of strong will and a determination that over comes all obstacles. He has resided the greater portion of his life in Lawrence County, having come here in the year 1850, and can recount a score of reminiscences of the early days of this state. He first lived in Poinsett and Jackson counties, and remembers when Jacksonport, in the latter county, was merely a canebrake. He can also remember when the Jacksonport and Pocahontas county road was opened, which covered a distance of sixty-two miles, and had but one house upon it, which was called the "Stranger's Home," as that was the only place of accommodation on the entire road. In 1886 Mr. Ruffner established himself in the merchandising business at Walnut Ridge, and as had very fair success. He is a member of Walnut Ridge Lodge No. 19731, Knights of Honor, and also a member of the town council. In 1862 he enlisted in Capt. Henry's Company, and served three and one-half years through the war. He was discharged June 5, 1865, and held the rank of second lieutenant at the time of his release. He has been married four times, two of his wives having been sisters, and all four of them cousins. He has had eleven children altogether, and seven of them are still living: Savannah (the wife of John E. Johnson, of Walnut Ridge), Joseph and Nancy Owen (who reside in this county), Williger (the wife of Edgar 'Neal, of the "Stranger's Home"), Julia (the wife of Davis Ruffner, of this county), Henry, George and John. He was married for the fifth time, his present wife having been Rachel Upchurch, Mr. Ruffner is in splendid health, and has never taken a cupful of medicine in the whole course of his existence, or touch a drink of whisky. In politics, he is a Democrat.

NOTES FROM SUSAN HUGHES BROWN: Great Aunt Ora, Aunt Nanny Johnson, and a male who was a outlaw, a Mardelle, Daughter of Great Aunt Ora (Mardelle married a Ball, Ora Ruffner married a Ellis), sister of Charles Henry Ruffner, I have no further information on them. When I was growing up, the name of Aunt Nanny was used, the information about Bill (Ruffner) and his twin and Aunt Nanny Johnson were given to me by Donnie Ruffner Yarbrough.
Notes taken from letters from Susan and in possession of Kay Butcher. 1/1999 - note no mention of other family, Susan stated that Ora was the sister of Charles Henry.
------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES FROM KAY BUTCHER (g,g,granddaughter)
I was given a family tree chart in the 1950's that someone in Walnut Ridge filled out and sent to my dad. Everything on the chart has proven to be correct. It stated that Silas was married to a Rachel Orr. There has been no trace of a Rachel other than Rachel Upchurch Schrader who Silas married in 1885. Apparently there was at least one child by this marriage. The first wife of Silas is unknown.

NOTE: Elias was found on the 1830 Tax List for Mississippi Co., Arkansas Territory. Silas states that they came to Arkansas in 1844 and may have not known all the details of his family. Missouri records were later moved to Arkansas. The county lines where changed, unknown date and records moved from Missouri to Arkansas. It is also possible that Goodspeed's made a error in the typeset when printing the book.

There were some parts of the census that was not readable...it is possible that this is why there is no recording for them. On the Orr's only parts of the names were legible.

NOTE: Information from a copy of the original census sent by Joy Hass Stefan. 10/2000.
----------------------------------------------------------------
FURTHER NOTES: Silas was married to Margaret E. Wallis in 1875. This would be Margaret Eliza Wallis/Waller/Wallace. Silas married her sister Lou Wellis/Wallace on July 3, 1882. Silas married again in 1885 to Rachel Upchurch in Illinois. It does look as if Mariah Orr was the mother of Charles Henry Ruffner. It seems that there were no children by Lou Wallace.
At this point in research, it looks as if the person that gave my Mom the genealogy chart thought that the last wife of Silas was his only wife being Rachel Upchurch, but connected to the Orr family of Alicia, Lawrence Co., Arkansas.
Lewis Ruffner died in 1873 - the step-mother died in 1874 - Silas was the guardian for his children - were any here listed as Silas's really Lewis's children? Where are the rest of Lewis's children? Did they also die? See Silas's bio - Ora Ruffner and the other children weren't born by the time the bio was done in 1889-1890 - apparently Silas had two, and possibly more children after this census. By 1885, Silas married Rachel Upchurch Schrader in Illinois. To date there have been no record of death. Unknown as to what happened to each wife.
-----------------------------------------------------
Josephine Ruffner, daughter of Benjamin Ruffner and Mary Lamb Ruffner was married in the same county as Silas Ruffner. Josephine married in 1874 and Silas married in 1875.
How close was Silas to this family of Ruffner's? The Wallace's were living there but did he know that they were distant cousins? Why was Silas going back and forth to Illinois? What and who was the main family connection?

RUFFNER, LEWIS
Died: 1873
Adm'r: 1873, John H. Moseley appointed.
Widow: Mary Margaret Ruffner
See below for his heirs.
RUFFNER, LEWIS (The minor heirs of)
Guardian: Their mother, Mary A. M. Ruffner, widow of Lewis Ruffner, dec'd, asked the Court to appoint Silas Ruffner guardian of her minor children,
towitt: Henrietta, Jefferson D., Samuel L., Silas B., George W., Nancy E. and Charles Ruffner. Silas was their uncle. This Petito (spelled as on court records) is undated, but had to be prior to the 1874 death of Mary A. M. Ruffner.
Henrietta died prior to her mother and the bill for Henrietta's coffin was paid in 1876.
RUFFNER, MARY MARGARET (widow of Lewis Ruffner)
Died September 1874. She died 43 hours after dictating a Last Will and Testament.
Will: Dated 29 Sept. 1874.
This Will later rejected by the Probate Court. In this Will she said Nancy E. was then her only daughter.

In 1875 this Exectorship was revoked by the court and Benjamin R. Bush was appointed Adm'r. April 1875.
NOTE: Lewis, Henrietta and Mary Margaret Orr Ruffner must have died within short time of each other. Mary Margaret Ruffner made a statement that she only had one child, Nancy E. Ruffner. A.J. (?) Ruffner had to be the first wife of Lewis. Apparently they were all minor children at the time of Lewis' death. All of the children other than Nancy E. Ruffner were by the first marriage. Note George - on the 1870 census it is George C. on Lewis's will, it's George W.

Kay,
I managed to get to the archives for a while today. Sad to say it wasn’t a very productive trip. So here goes:
Strangely, I didn’t see a listing for your ggrandparents - Charles & Sarah on the 1900 Lawrence Co. census. I did see a Henry Ruffner, b. 1869, AR, with wife Dona, b. 1872 - children Katie, Jessie, John and Ora. Also saw an entry for Anders Ruffner and wife Jane - he from IL and she from SC. Are any of these folks yours?
Joseph R. Owens and wife Nancy A. - Greene Co., AR, Coche Township. He was born Aug 1871, age 28, AR. She was born Feb 1879 , age 21, AR The children: Martha F., Dec. 1895, 4 yrs old, b. AR; Delma L. , Dec 1895, age 4, AR; Margret PANKEY, m-in-law, June 1847, age 52, AR
Samuel Ellis b. Dec 1870, b. 29, TN --- Lawrence Co, AR, Campbell Township. Wife Ora, March 1871, 27 y/o, AR; Mardell, (dau), Nov. 1898, AR
No listing for Cline or Dorr on the index to the 1900 AR census.
Sorry this is all I had time to pursue.

Subject: Re: Orr's
I am glad you got your e-mail working again. I was so excited about sharing
what I found and disappointed when I typed a long letter several times only
to have it returned. The main thing I found is a possible name of Mary
Hardin's parents. I think her parents names were Jeptha and Sarah Hardin of
Shawneetown, IL. Jeptha Hardin seems to have been a fairly prosperous
landowner. Shawneetown was a river town and the site of the first National
Bank established in Illinois(abt. 1819). There was also some slave trading
going on in nearby Equality. 1830 Gallatin Co., IL census for Jeptha Hardin:
1m<5 1f<5
1m: 5-10 2f: 10-15
1m: 40- 50 1f: 30-40
In the 1840 census Jeptha Hardin:
1m: 50-60 1f: 5-10
1f: 40-50
Jeptha Hardin seems to have died in the early 1840's. Other Hardin names
appear in records and seem to be from the same family. Sarah I believe to be
Jeptha's wife. Possible children are John, Jane, and Mary Jane, and your
Mary. I will need to do more research on Jeptha Hardin to see if he is an
ancestor.
Joseph Orr m. Sarah Williams and moved to Hardin Co., IL. William Orr, the
son I think was married before when he married Henrietta Oldham, then died
about a year later. Henrietta Orr sold some livestock to a Susan Oldham in
1838. I believe shortly afterwards (before 1840) Henrietta Orr and William's
children moved to Arkansas to be close to other members of the Oldham family
and died before 1850. This is all speculation on my part. I found Louisa
(Orr) Wallace's family in the 1850 Perry Co., IL census. I also noticed some
Orr's in Perry Co. but I don't know how or if the different Orr families are
related. One family of Orrs' were of african descent which made me wonder if
the Orrs had been slaveowners in Virginia. This should give you something to
think about. You may need to remind me what else to look for in the Illinois
records.

Another interesting note - on Silas Ruffner's Pension application, a H. L Throgmorton M.D signed his papers.

Notes for SARAH RUFFNER:
SARAH RUFFNER
Was this by chance this Sarah Ruffner...after finding all the marriage records for Silas Ruffner in Illiniois, it may be possible...or this is another Sarah Ruffner. There were other Ruffner's living in Effingham.

Notes for JOSEPH F. RUFFNER:
JOSEPH RUFFNER
---------------------------------------------------------------
Was Joseph Ruffner the brother of Elias in Lawrence Co., Arkansas also or another Joseph Ruffner who was a relative...one Joseph Ruffner died before 1880. There was a Joseph Ruffner who was the son of Sylvester Ruffner who lived in Texas later on...his son Joseph died in 1877...any chance that he was the one in Lawrence Co. He doesn't show up on the census records as being born in Ohio. Such a mystery.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Joseph Ruffner was born in Arkansas. He was married to Mary E. (?) Bush as there was a step-daughter named Elizabeth Bush (see below for the Loose Probate Records). Joseph had a child named Florence Ruffner. (census records state mother was born in Mississippi - Lydia also stated she was born in SC) Florence Ruffner was named as the minor child, also. Who was the father of Elizabeth Bush? Joseph and Mary E. witnessed a land deed in 1873...Florence would have been about five years old. By 1880 Joseph was married to Sarah A. (?) and had a child six month old child by the name of Lewellen
Florence Ruffner was a deaf mute, she was also a heir to the William Terry Estate (her grandfather) Her property was sold to Lewis Orr. Apparently she was placed in an asylum and educated, there are some receipts for fabric for clothes, receipt signed by Robert Orr.
On the Loose Probate Papers for Florence Ruffner, it states that her father Joseph Ruffner was deceased (1880), on Joseph's Pension records he was still applying for his pension in 1901. Who was this Joseph Ruffner...the other appears to be the son of Elias and Nancy. He was blind and sick. He was living with his sister Nancy Ruffner Housh and her husband, John. It appears that this Joseph was the one who served in the Civil War as he was drawing on his war pension. The census records don't indicate the two Joseph's and their ages.

1860 Census for Lawrence Co., Marion TWP, AR shows that a Joseph F. Ruffner was living with Angus and family.
Joseph was listed as 19 years old - male - laborer - born in Ark.
FURTHER ON JOSEPH AND MARY E. RUFFNER:
Joseph was married to a Mary E. (?) who married a Bush, before 1868 - the loose probate papers state he was appointed guardian for Elizabeth (minor) her step-father. Maybe the mother was still alive and the father had died. Joseph was married to Lydia Terry by 1870. But it states his wife ( Mary E.) and he signed the property deed in 1873.

WILLIAM WILLIAMS
------------------------------------------------------------
Was William Williams in Pike Co., Kentucky along with the Ruffner's and Angus Daggs? There is a William Williams who appears on the 1823 Pike Co., Kentucky Tax list.
There also was a William Williams who married many couples in Kanawha Co., WV in the early 1800's. By chance was this a son of William Williams?
-----------------------------------------------------------
There was a William Williams in GallatinCo., Illinois...was this William Williams there? This one married Harriet Taylor in Oct. 1841.

Notes for JOSEPH RUFFNER:
JOSEPH RUFFNER
--------------------------------------------------------------
Did this Joseph Ruffner come to Lawrence Co., Arkansas? There were records to indicate there were two Joseph Ruffner's - different ages on some records.
From what I see, his daughter was born much too late for his marriage date...had he married before?
Could he have been related to Betty Anderson's ancestor, Joseph Ruffner? He married in Batavia, Clermont Co., Ohio.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Twenty-eight years after Mrs. Gyllinskog's letter, it was discovered that Samuel and his family had apparently moved to Gallia County, Ohio when they left Virginia. Records of both Joseph and his brother was found on the 1850 and 1870 Federal Census for Gallia Co. Undoubtedly Joseph had other children, we (the authors) have but one name. Joseph was a miner.

Do you think their is any chance that your Joseph and mine are the same. What year was your Joseph born in. Mine was born 1823 suppost to be Switzerland. Or that is what the 1860 of Ohio says. Anyway the family told that he came from Switzerland, but lord only knows how he met up with Mary Schlotterbeck. The marriage license in Batavia says Schusterback, but my aunt and them always called it Schlotterbeck.

I am descended from one of Samuel's brothers. Esther is included in the book, Peter Ruffner and His Descendants. The book is currently being updated. Go to http://www.ruffnerfamily.org/ for more info.

Joseph Ruffner
The first child was born on September 25, 1740. He married Ann Hiestand [or Heistand] on May 22, 1764. Ann was born on October 15, 1742, a daughter of Henry Hiestand.
Joseph and Ann settled and lived at what is now Mundellsville, close to Luray. At this location, Joseph built and owned the first mill on this site. The original Willow Grove Mills was destroyed by fire. Today on this site there is a mill of the same name, which was constructed in the 19th century.
Various accounts tell us Joseph was a very successful farmer and businessman who traveled far and wide buying and selling. Original receipts indicate he did a lot of trading in Fredericksburg, which required him to go east over the Blue Ridge Mountains with his wagonloads of goods. These same receipts indicate he dealt on numerous occasions in very large quantities of trade goods and money. For thirty years he and his family prospered as he pursued his farming, raising his livestock, and crossing the countryside with his wagons filled for trading.
About 1794 after a fire destroyed a barn containing much grain and many of his animals, Joseph set out on a journey along the upper James River in search of iron ore. On this fateful journey, he met and traveled for a time with Colonel Dickerson from Point Pleasant. After hearing the Colonel talk so glowingly about the buffalo salt licks on the Kanawha River and the prospects of producing salt on the western frontier, Joseph bought the Colonel’s land containing the salt licks without seeing it. For the 502 acres of land, he paid 500 pounds plus future considerations if producing the salt proved to be profitable.
In the spring of 1795, Joseph made a journey by horseback to inspect the land he had bought. Upon his arrival in the Kanawha Valley, he was so impressed by the lands of the river bottom he bought all he could obtain. The thousand or so acres he acquired included the log structures of Fort Lee, all of the unsold lots of the young town, and all the bottomland surrounding the Fort. This land covered most of what is today known as Charleston, West Virginia.
Upon his return to the Shenandoah Valley, he sold all his lands there and in the latter part of 1795 moved his entire family to the Kanawha Valley. He left his eldest son behind to settle his affairs. A year later, the son and his family followed Joseph to Kanawha.
Joseph’s initial interest in the potential of the salt was quickly replaced by his enthusiasm for farming the rich bottomland he had acquired. He would continue to acquire huge amounts of land in this new territory.
He did not live to see the development of the salt industry. But, in his will he specified his sons were to either utilize the salt resources or sell the land and divide the proceeds. Joseph’s fateful directive led to the Kanawha area becoming the leading salt producer on the western frontier. His sons did devise and develop the method of drilling and extracting the brine from a depth, which provided a higher concentration and quality brine. They then began to produce and market the
prized commodity - Salt.
Joseph and Ann were the parents of 8 children. They were:
Esther [1765 - 1783]; David [1767 - 1843]; Joseph, Jr. [1769 - 1837];
Tobias [1770 - 1834]; Samuel [1773 - 18--]; Eve [1775 - 1821];
Daniel [1779 - 1865]; Abraham [1781 - 1854].
Joseph and Ann both died in Charleston, Kanawha County, Virginia - now WV. Joseph died on March 23, 1803 and Ann followed on August 19, 1820. They are buried at Charleston beneath the towering trees in the quiet beauty of Ruffner Hollow, which is known today as Rifleman’s Memorial Park.

Dear Angie,
The Dague & Ruffner lines are not mine and I have done no original research on it. I have recorded the interesting information you have E-Mailed on the family however. In going through the information it looked very probable to me that Catharine Ann Dague's father could well be Mathias Dague with Johannes Friedrich Dague & Anna Maria Geysler the grandparents.
On the Internet site it says that Mathias Dague & Elizabeth Glass moved to Franklin County, Ohio, with their three oldest children and were the ancestors of that branch of the family. Robert Owens and Catherine Ann Williams were married and from Franklin County, Ohio.
Another consideration is that Johannes Friedrich Dague was born in 1736 and Catherine Ann Dague in 1779. 43 years is quite an age span though it is very possible. It is far enough apart that it is also possible to easily insert another generation. Walt did not believe Catharine was a daughter of Johannes Frederick Dague. That also makes my theory worth checking into.
Good luck. This is an interesting line. I believe the stories explain where the family tradition originated concerning Grandma Daggs coming for the orphaned Catherine by mule.
Love, Barbara

I am curious if anyone has more definite information on the following: According to Carie Dague's book, Frederick and Sophia had a daughter Catherine Elizabeth born 2/18/1757. Then Frederick and Maria were the parents of Catherine/Catherina born August 13, 1762 in Lancaster, PA and Baptized on August 22, at Trinity L. Church in Lancaster. Then, Catherine Ann born about 1779. She married Samuel Ruffner. Walt

THE DAGUE FAMILY Page 1
For more information on the Dague family, consult "The History and Genealogy of the Dague Family" written by Carrie M. Dague. The following summary is taken from information compiled by Roy Lee Peterman, Walter Roland Peterman, Bill Ricciardo and many others.
Note: We recently have obtained information that traces these ancestors back to the 1600s. Earlier Ancestors of Frederick and Andreas are now included in this page. The earliest know ancestor at present is Andreas Deegen (Deeg) (Deg) (Dague). Because there are so many Dagues by the name of Andreas, I have labled them I, II, III and IV. According to family historians, Andreas I who was a baker. He was born about 1659 in Bauschlott, Germany and died February 11, 1694. On November 25, 1677, he married Margaretha Kraussler, who was born on January 31, 1658 in Stein, Germany. She was the daughter of Hans Jacob Kraussler. They lived in Wurttemberg. Andreas II was born June 29, 1680 in Wurttemberg, Germany, and died February 28, 1750. in Weiler, Durlach, Baden; Germany. He married Anna Maria Wenk on May 16, 1706. She was the daughter of Hans Wenk. Andreas III was born January 29, 1713, in the town where they lived and Andreas II later died. On July 13, 1733, Andreas married Anna Maria Kudin who was born in Pfatzgrafenweiler, where they were married. Two of their children were the immigrants to this country. Andreas IV was born about 1734 in Germany, and Johannes Friedrich was born about 1736 in the Rheim river Valley of Germany near the French Border. These two sons were the first verified ancestors of our Dague family to arrive in the United States. Frederick and Andreas traveled up the Rhine River, to Amsterdam, capital of the Netherlands, where they bought a ticket on a boat bound for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Ship records indicate the brothers sailed from Rotterdam, last from Portsmouth on October 3, 1753 on the Ship Eastern Branch. They arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Frederick who was seventeen years of age moved to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he purchased some land to begin farming. He married his first wife, Sophia Schmitt in the Lutheran Church at Lancaster, Pennsylvania on June 22, 1755. They had two children, Catherine and Michael. Sophia died shortly after Michael's birth and Frederich married Anna Maria Geysler on August 19, 1760 in the same church. They had met earlier on the boat that had brought them to America. They were the parents of ten children. There seems to be confusion in Carrie Dague's book. In addition to the Catherine Dague born in Lancaster in 1757, she lists another born about 5 years later and then lists another in the will as being born in 1779. Apparently, Andreas resided in the Lancaster area and remained there.
It is not clear when Frederick moved to Washington County, Pennsylvania, but tradition tells us that the two youngest children were carried, one in each end of a pack sack, on a mule's back. Earliest land records indicate Frederick paid taxes on land as early as 1781 near Lone Pine, Pennsylvania. He also owned property on Big Wheeling Creek (originally Ohio County, now Marshall County, West Virginia). Frederich and Maria are buried in the Bethlehem Lutheran Church cemetery East of Washington, Pa. Early baptismal records exist at Zehn Meilen (Ten mile) Lutheran Church and the Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran Churches of Washington County, Pennsylvania.
The oldest son of Frederick and Maria, Mathias, was born on August 9, 1761 or June 25, 1761 and died April 18, 1852 is the ancestor of the Ohio Dagues. In about 1800, Mathias and his wife Elizabeth Glass (some say she was a Swickard, which does make sense) Dague and their first three children moved into Franklin County, Ohio. They had traveled from Washington, Pa by covered wagon, powered by four cows. The cows also supplied their milk and were the beginning of their beef and dairy herds. Mathias served as County Commissioner for Franklin County, Ohio. Other families who traveled to Ohio with this family were the Swiskards, the Huffmans and the Baughmans. Mathias, Jr., a farmer, married Rose Anna Rose who bore him 8 children. After her death in 1821, he married Liza Steadman who bore him four children.

Angie,
your post to the Ruffner List was forwarded to me. I am not sure if your Catherine Ann is the same as ours. I am descended from Frederick and Anna Maria Dague.
Also, according to Merla L. Becker, [email protected], Esther Ruffner died May 6, 1836.
Also, Anna Marie Beysler died October 28,1813 according to her stone.
You may be interested in knowing the Dagues are planning on a reunion at the Fairgrounds in Moundsville, WV August 8, 9 10 to celebrate 250 years since Frederick's arrival in America. If you are not subscribed, you may wish to subscribe to the DEEG surname list or digest.

Subject: Good job
Dear Angie & Merla,
You make a good team. Angie, your last couple of mailings have been impressive. There are three comments I wanted to make for your consideration:
Catherine and Robert's youngest son George is George Brigham Owens. As a child he was called Brigham as seen in the 1860 and 1870 census records. As an adult he went by William/s. I recall a story but I do not remember who told it to me, that Brigham Young blessed George and gave him his name; then when Catherine had a falling-out with President Young, George went by William. I have not checked the early membership records to see if the blessing story is true but Robert and Catherine were said to have been friends with the prophet - at least they knew him.
Esther Ruffner's death date is 6 May 1836, I believe. She died 7 years after Grandma Catherine Dague who died when Catherine was 8 years old. I know this blows the family tradition that Esther died soon after Catherine's birth. I believe the story of Grandma retrieving the orphaned Catherine and transporting her by mule has come down from a couple of Dague ancestral stories. I have seem this same thing happen on two of my other lines. The story attached to an ancestor actually happened two or more generations earlier. The stories had also changed over the years of telling them.
According to Rial Owens' death certificate, he died 4 Nov 1922. In the newspaper I found the story of his death in a lumberyard bunkhouse fire. The article also confirmed this date.
You have given me so much information that I hope this helps you some in return.
Love, Barbara

Colonel of the Virginia Regiment Alexander Campbell
History of Northeast Missouri Pgs 1268-70
Governor Campbell was married November 7, 1866, in Bowling Green to Miss Margaret Blain, a daughter of William W. and Ann M. (Turner) Blain. Mr. Blain was formerly a planter of Albemarle county Virginia, and came to Missouri in one of its early settlers. Governor and Mrs. Campbell had two children, Malcolm henry of St. Louis who is a conductor on the Iron Mountain Railway, and who has had two children James E. and Ruth Gladys, by his wife who was Miss Ella Robinson before her marriage; Ida, who married William T. Chamberlain and died on the farm near Bowling Green march 30, 1910, without issue. The whole family attends the Presbyterian Church.
Governor Campbell's family came originally from Scotland, settling in the country while Americans were still subjects of Great Britain. With the breaking out of the Revolutionary War, Alexander Campbell enlisted in the Continental army, becoming colonel of the Virginia regiment. He fought in the battles of Kings Mountain, Guilford Courthouse, and Cowponies, and was always among the leaders in courage and daring. He died during the progress of the struggle and in 1785, his widow brought the family out of Kentucky. She died there but not before she had seen her children become prominent and respected citizens of the State.
One of the sons, Alexander Campbell, studied medicine and practiced his profession in Harrison county during the closing years of the eighteenth century. In 1800, he served in the Kentucky House of Representatives, and three years later moved to Ripley, Ohio. In 1806, he was elected a member of the Ohio House of Representatives, and in 1810 was chosen United States Senator to succeed Senator Tiffin. He served until March 1913.
The several daughters in the family married young men of the pioneer families of Harrison County among who was one Stevenson, a grand ancestor of Vice President Stevenson of Illinois.
Of one son, Robert his history has been lost and the third son William, founded the Missouri branch of the family from which Governor Campbell, the subject of the sketch sprung. He was married in Kentucky to Jane Gouge, a native of Virginia and of Scotch ancestry. Several years after he had buried his mother in Cynthiana, Kentucky. William Campbell, he immigrated to Missouri with his slaves, and settled near Bowling Green. He pursued the life of a successful planter until his death in 1846, which was followed soon after that of his wife. Their children were William Nelson who died in Mexico, Missouri, and whose family subsequently moved to Oregon; Elizabeth, who married James Orr and raised her family in Pike County; Rev. James W., the father of Governor Campbell; Joana who married Isaac Orr of Pike County, and died leaving several children; Sallie who died in Pike County as Mrs. Natha Swift, and left two children, John F. and Jane; Judge John G. who was judge of the county court, and who died in 1853, leaving three sons James W. who was probate Judge of Pike County died December 1872. Henry C. who died in 1876 while serving as county clerk of Pike county, and Dr. Campbell of Bowling Green; Caroline M. who married John Kincaid and moved to Austin Texas, but who after her husband's death in 1838, returned with her family to Missouri and died a Mrs. Samuel Saxe; Jane who died in Pike County as Mrs. Alexander S. Jackson leaving two sons and a daughter, who moved to Texas where they still reside; Sophronia, who married John I Jackson and reared her family in McLennan county, Texas, where they died; and Dr. Alexander Campbell, who went to Texas as a young man and died there recently in Ennis. John F Swift, the son of Sallie Campbell, went to California in 1852, in the company with his Uncle James W. and Governor Campbell, going overland with mule teams. Meeting with success both in his finances and in his profession as lawyer, he soon became a prominent man in the state. At one time he was elected a member of the state legislature by the Republican Party, and was at one tiem a candidate for governor. While Harrison was president of the United States he ws made a member of the commission of three -- Denby, Angell, and Swift to consider the subject of the Chinese Exclusion and to report finding, and negotiated a treaty of exclusion of Chinese emigrants. Later President Harrison made him our ambassador to Japan where he died in office. Aside from his political talent, Mr. Swift was a man of literary genius, as asserted by Bret Harte, who declared that of the three humorous writers: Twain, Miller, and Swift, the last was the greatest genius. He wrote two books "Going to Jericho" and "Robert Greathouse" the plot of the latter is laid in the mining regions of California.

After the brethren had received this kind of inhuman treatment, their captors performed an act purely Missourian in its character, that is, they gave them the following note of acquittal: "Tully, Missouri, July 12, 1840. The people of Tully having taken up Mr. Allred, with some others, and having examined into the offenses committed, find nothing to justify his detention any longer, and have released him. By order of the committee. H. M. Woodyard."
