Preface. My interest in this family, sometimes Rudd!§., Riddlet Riddell in the records, stems from the fact that my daughter-in-law, Joycelynn (Mason) Smutz, and my three grandchildren are descended from it--a confusing and troublesome one to arrange gene-alogically because of a family predilection for repeating the same given names in successive generations which, in point of time, overlapped. Thus a particular John, Stephen or Elizabeth is difficult to identify and separate from others with the same given name unless the specific reference includes other identifying data. Through Joycelynn's parents, Rays. and Beulah (Snow) Mason of Edina, Mo., and the kindness of Mrs. Anna and Miss Virginia Swartz, also of Edina, Joycelynn was enabled to copy for me some notes on the Ruddells which were made a number of years ago by Gladys Fowler, a cousin of her grandfather. I was told that Miss Fowler had worked in the Library of Congress with access to much genealogical material, and had done her research there. However her notes, cited hereafter as NGF, gave no specific sources or records; perhaps what I obtained was excerpted from a more comprehensive account which did contain citations altho Barb referred to her as •~n alleged descendant of George's ••• of Lit tle Rock, Ark." stating that her data possibly were taken from Bibles in the possession of her f~mily and not available to him. Ll7* The line she claimed to George Ruddell #6 was accepted by the Daughters of the American Revmlution--hereafter DAR--but, in the humble opinion of this researcher and others, without sufficient valid documentation to confirm it. Despite diligent research and correspondence, I have , been unable to reconstruct from official records the line of descent Miss Fowler claimed. Ultimately I obtained from Dr. James L. Hupp. West Virginia State Ar chivist and Historian in Charleston, a photoprint of the 11Ancestral Chart of Stephen Lewis Ruddell" of Glenville, W. Va., hereafter cited as !g~ Chart. It had been prepared by Robert Lee Rudd.ell of Charles ton who had donated it to the W. Va. Archives in 1944 when he was past 80. He credited Dr. Barb, above, of Camden, N. J., with much of the research on which it was based. Through the courtesy of Dr. Hupp I was able to reach l'-ir. Fred K• .rtuadell, lvlr. R. L. Ruddell' s nephew, also of Charleston. From him I obtained Dr. Barb's address but no source data. I wrote Dr. Barb, and Mrs. Chloe Vide Toothaker of Bates ville, Ark. who had helped him, but I had no replies; both, presumab ly, were gone. Continuing my search for valid and verifiable data, I placed inquiries in various genealogical papers and periodicals; these brought some answers as well as return inquiries, and I have corres ponded with several people interested in the Ruddell-Sharp(e) families. Two have been especially helpful: Mr. Elmer E. Sharpe, Hunnewell, Mo. 63443" and lwiiss Blanche Hinshaw, 1530 !Io. Illinois St., Indianapolis, Ind. 46202, cited hereafter as EES and BH, respectively. AcknQwledgement~. None of us then had access to Barb's material which we fully believed would save much time and effort in compiling our own family records. Per haps it was just as well. We have checked Virginia and Kentucky records as well as many in Pennsylvania and Maryland, both from Photocopies and from Courthouse Books, not to mention many publish•· ed redords, most of which we have verified. When I finally received *A list of abbreviations, Notes and References, an Appendix and Adden da will be found following the genealogical text. -2..;... a~ copy of the Barb typescript I found that what we, severally, had brought together was more accurate than, and negated in whole or in part, some of his conclusions. /27 We might not have been as thorough in our own research had Barb's account been available to us. Even so some parts of this history are regrettably, but unavoidably, tenuous and speculative. BH and EES have each contributed valuable information from reliable sources to help in rounding out this bit of family history--and the former has commented on my draft--which I have eompiled for Joycelynn and my grandchildren: William Mason Smutz, Mark Allen Smutz and Jenni fer Smutz, and to them I dedicate it with deep affection. From it, they may know something more of the people to whom they owe their be ing--not that they may develop a boastful and vainglorious pride of ancestry, but that they may have a wholesome satisfaction in it as well as a goal to strive for in living up to the standards which these forebears have set. For me, it has been a labor of love. In concluding these brief introductory notes, May I express my appre ciation to those who have helped me in my search; some I have already mentioned. There have been others: archivists, librarians and public officials who have assisted by locating official records and other valid data, and I do thank them all. My particular recognition and gratitude are due these: Mrs. Alma Vaughan, Newspaper Librarian2 Mo. State Historical Society, Columbia; Mrs. Ann~ McDonnell, Librarian, Ky. Historical Society, Frankfort; Mr. John w. Dudlei, Ass't. Archiv ist, Va. State Library1 Richmoqd; and. Mrs. Mary Ann •adely, Deputy Clerk, Shenandoah Co. ~ircuit ~ourt, ~oodstock, Va. And may I point out, too, that I have been careful to cite source maierial. As Pliny.· the Elder wrote in the First Century A.D.: "I have lgiveg_7 the names of my authorities. I have done so because it is, in my opinion, a pleasant thing and~one that shows an honorable modestL., to own up to those who were the means of one's achievements, ••• " L3.I Where data have been ambiguous or conflicting, I have presented my reasons for coming to the conclusions offered. In the final analysis, the reader must decide for himself on the reliability and validity of my data, and arrive at his own conclusions. l. JOHN RUDDELL was b. circQ 1695-97, perhaps in England. The origin of the name is said variously to have been English, Irish1 Scotch~ Irish, or German. It is entirely possible that an English family mov ed to Ireland and emigrated from there, or vice versa: The name is found in both places. The first contingent of Scotch-Irish came to Pa. ~ 1717-18, about the time Barb gave for John Ruddell's arrrival. Fam ilies named Riddell and Euddeli, who still live in Ireland, use the same crest: "A demi-greyhound. 11 In I/a. and ~7• records these names have sometimes been used interchangeably.~ J. A. Waddell An.!1§.ls of Aygusta Co.~ V~~ 1726=1~1 discussed the origins of the Scotch-Irish and their early settlement in Augusta C.o. but, in the first 92 pages, carrying his account to roughly 1750, the name RUQQ~ll is not mention ed. However, had he been a foreigner, it is doubtful that John could have escaped takin~ the oath on arriving in the Colonies; hence it ap pears that he was ,l!;nglish or lrish. BH and some others are strongly inclined to the latter; in fact, one or two have reported it as trad itional in their branches. The possibility that the Ruddells were ~ua- kers must not be overlooked. Altha Barb, p. 9, stated that he had searched the ~uaker records in both the Fa. iiistorical and the Pa. -3- Genealogical Societies and had failed to find a "single" Ruddell men tioned, Robert W. Ramsey Carolina Cradle 11Appendix B" found, listed under the· heading "New Garden--Nottingham 11 for Chester Co., Pa-. Ann~, Cornelius and ~ohn Ryddel~. They were among those attending the Quak er monthly meetings'in the period 1675-1747. However, the Ruddells do not, in my j/~7ement, appear to have been sufficiently peace-loving to qualify. . Mrs. Idros Roberts, 1325 Raymond Ave., Glendale, Calif., in a letter to Mrs. Norene Gann (?4rs. J.W.), 947 6th St., Boonville Mo. 65233 on 23 Aug. 1971 wrote that she had recently received from 1•a woman II some old letters written by the "Rev. W. Twyman vlilliams who was minister of the church at Hamf(len-Syaney, Va." In one of them Williams wrote that he had been in tne Augusta Co., Va. Courthouse and, wh!,le search ing there for records, r•1n a box of Miscellaneous papers f.hf}.7 found the will of John Ruddell, Jr. 1749 ••• The interesting thing ••• is that it was sealed with his coat-of-arms ••• quite unusual ••• in the Valley of Virginia, though rather frequent in the eastern part of the state ••• a According to Mrs. Roberts, his letter was written in 1933; the Rev. Williams d. before he completed the book he planned to publish; some of his records on the BIRD family are in J.W. Wayland §story of ShenandQ..s!h_QQ., Va. (1927~ 1969) p. 691-93. H.F.G. Waters Genealogi cal Gleanings in Englang {1901) does not index the name. J.C. Hotten 9r~ginal Lis~s of Persons of Quality (1874) shows no immigrant named either Ruddell or N~al Cook. The v'irgig~a 11,agaz!n§__2f Hlltor~ and Bi ograppy, hereafter VaMHB, v. D+ (1907j_p. 179 showed a Thomas Ruddell as witness to the will of Thomas Lee, Mariner, in England dated 8 Oct. l?OO, proved 2 Jan. 1702/03. NGF state that Thomas Ruddell came to Va. and, probably, was the ancestor oflthis family altho there was nothing to prove it. While some of Thomas ee 1 s ~n appeared to be in Va., I have found nothing to confirm that Thomas Ruddell or any of his issue were there then, or that he came later. O.F. Morton Histor~ of P~ndle ton Co.L-W. Va. (1910) p. 170, 287 said the name was German~ original ly Rueddel, and that a Cornelius Ruddle (1780-1876) whom. Hannah Dye, came there from Rockingham Co., Va.; he has some account of this fam ily. However, R.B. Strassburger E!illn§.Ylvania Ggr.g2n Pion~!:.2 (1934) does not index the nam~, nor does F.R. Diffenderfer Qerman immigrat ion into Pennsylvania lhroggh ~hiladelphi9 1700-75 (l900J. John Ruddell, Senr d. 1781 in Shenandoah Co., Va. His will was dated 20 Mar. and pro. 31 May 1781; it named his wife, Mary Ruddell, and a son-in-law, Mounce~ Bird. A son, A~chibald, not being an heir under the will, witnessed it. John Ruddell's w. was Mary, daughter of Neal Cook --who so named her in his Chester Co. will--and his w. Ann. John and Mary were evidently m. circ£ 1715, perhaps before emigrating. &7. Ap parent+Y John, and perhaps ~eal Cook, came to the Colonies ca 1714-15 and, presumably, were the progenitors of the Ruddell family in Ameri ca. This is, indeed, a moot question but Barb, p. 2, thought so. fhe Appendix has some records of other early Ruddells of indeterminate, if any, relationship to Johnl. Barq in his re. search, found that John Ruddell paid taxes in liottingham To\mship, Chester Co., Pa. "each year from 1718 to 1740 inclusive" and believed he might heve m. }!ary Cook ca 1715 in England, altho there seems to be no reason to rule out a Pa. marriage. 1{eal Cook, in his \·Jill, left to a son Cornelius 11 land on Back Creek in 1-Iaryland where I formerly lived. n This is in Cecil Co., just across the state line from Chester Co., Pa. The sole record Barb found there, and of which I obtained a photocopy for the Appendix, is a Cecil Co., Md. deed, Bk. 1 p. 316, from a Robert Ruddell, merchant or London, giving power of Attorney to one Samuel Richardson, also-- a merchant of London, dated 20 Mar. 1703. Barb, p. 4, speculated that this Robert might have had interests in Cecil Co., that Johnl was a kinsman--his son, perhaps--and that Robert ultimately came to America to look after those interests. :E must emphasize that this was, and is, pretty much pure surmise, its only bases being the name, the location and the approximate dates. How ever, a ticket was granted Robert Rudal /sig,_7 for departure 11off this LBarbadoa7 Island 11 15 Aug. 1679 in the Ship ~.ohn and Henry for 11Bris to11. n· If indeed this was the same Robert, he was then a young man and, perhaps, just beginning to develop his Colonial interests. There is· nothing to indicate when or how he came to Barbados, where he came from.a, or whether he had visited the mainland. Also·, a Willim Riddall /sic/ 16, came to Va. in the ~u.l~ of London 6 Jul! 1635; and Sara Riddall was living in James City 16 Febr. 1623. fl./. No relations:hip between these people and John has been established; it is doubtful that any existed. John1 Ruddell. paid taxes from 1718 through l71+Crin 9hester Co., Pa. according to Barb, p. 2; A Chester Co. land warrant, 1743~ is evident ly the latest record in Pa. The family may have left for va. soon aft er 1740, with Cornelius moving later. John1 was among several recom mended as Justices in Augusta Co., Va. 15 Apr. 1?46 and he was appoin ted an Overseer 20 June 1746; he was a lay reader 1764-80 in one of the chapels of Frederick Parish and was authorized to build a water mill 18 Febr. 12~6/47. On 8 Mar. 1747 he appraised the es~ate of Benj. Allen, dec'd. /]/. John •:s issue, their births and sequence, tend to follow Barb but with such variations as seem warranted by other factors; rarely are the' ac tual dates or the order of the birth now known. John, Jr. wa-s probably the eldest of the children, the tendency being then even as now, to name the first-born son for his father. The Chart listed Cornelius as the first. In a deed 26 Aug. 1789 Cornelius referred to himself as the "eldest son" of John but, at that time, John, Jr. was dead and Cornel ius was infact the eldest filJ.!Vivin~ son which may or may not have been his meaning. "Cornelius Ruddell, eldest son Of John Ruddell.s. Sr., de ceased" of Augusta Co. and his wife Ingabo to Mounce Bird Lhis brother in-la~7of Shenandoah Co. Another point favoring John, Jr. as the eld est: On 18 Febr. 1746/47 John, Sr.· was authorized to build a water mill, he being the first in generations of mi~lers. At that time the English Law of Primogeniture was in force in Va.; this automatically made the eldest son 11 heir-at-law 11 of all his father's property except ing his personal estate. In his will John, Jr. Bequeathed "to my lov ing father John Ruddell ••• my part of the mill ••• n From this, it ap pears that John, Jr., anticipatins his inheritance, was already in partnership with his father, at least on the mill. f.2.7. Issue, prob ably b. Chester Co., Pa. with the possible exception of John, Jr. who may have been b. abroad1 assu~ing his parents were m. prior to leav ing "the old country" wherever it was:
1. JOHN2 RUDDELL, Jr. was b. £.a 1716--he witnessed Neal Cook's will in 1737-- and d. 1749 in Au~usta Co., Va. while still a young man. His will, 9ated_28 July.was pro. 22 Aug. 174Q; it was witnes sed by Andrew Bird, anarew bird, Jr. and Edward Ryan. John refer- -,- red to himself a~ "Yeoman of Smith's Creek" and named his father and mother: John Ruddell,_Sr. and Mary; also his brothers Archi ble and Stephen Rudd§.ll lboth of age in 1749, presumablz7, "bro thers and sisters" L.not otherwise identified and probably under ag~7, and Robert Wilson, also unidentified. John, Sr. was named sole executor and he made bond 22 Aug. 1749; no wife and no issue were named. As Barb opined, this was somewhat unusual for a man in his early thirties in those Colonial times; he noted fhe 1744 will of Thomas Rogers of West Notting-ham Twsp. who named a wife, Elizabeth, and sons and daughters including a dau. ~bor~h Ru~ dell. She might have been wife of John, Jr. altho she could just as well have been a first w. for one of his brothers. Note that Cornelius, #2 q·.v., named a dau. Deborah; the wife of John, Jr., if any, evidently predeceased him. I was able to identify the will. and obtain a photocopy; I asked also for any necord Qf_pro bate, distribution, etc. but apparently there was none. LlQ/. There were no living children,certainly, as none is mentioned, and no record of his marriage has so far been located; few early Pa. marriage records seem to be in existence. 11.

Hannah Pennybacker 20 Qe£. 1795 and they lived at "The l"orge;" they had a large family. /ll/. On 26 Febr. 1786 Mounce Bird, Sr. of Shenangoah Co. gave Po·wer of Attorney to 11 his beloved son Abraham Bird:nifaving procured 3000 acres of land in Kentucky.1 iq'different tracts, 1750 acres laying on the waters of Lic~ing tiiver, part of a tract of 2000 acres of which Isaac Ruddle L#5, q.v~7 ·is to have 250 acres. Also 1250 ac res, being the one-half of a quantity of land surveyed by Green Clay, and being desirous that the said lands should be divided between my three· sons, Abraham, John and -r~'iilliam Bird. This is evidently the Abraham Bird who was prominent, several years lat er, inBourbon Co., Ky. And quite probably it was he who attested 20 Jan. 1786 to the Po,..,er of Attorney given by George Ruddell L#16, q.v~7 and his w. Theodosia, and v1ho 1r1as Bondsman for the marriage of Stephen Ruddell. Li18, q.v~7 and Catherine Kingrey on 2 Oct. 1797. The son John, who removed to Ky., made a deposition 8 Febr. 1819 to be read in a suit in Chancery: He came to Kentu cky in the fall of 1779, settled at_Ruddell's Station, 2nd re mained in Station until June 1780 Lwhen it was captureg/i that in Febr. 1780 he went from said Station in co~pany ~ith ~saac Ruddell. [#5i a.,,y.7 and "1,·Jilliam ~·iarshall and ca~e to a cabin and remained al ni;ht; that Ruddell had a ~arrant to lay on some -6- land tor the rather of deponent.~." Lig7. Evidently John Byrd was in the Militia company at Ruddell's Sta. and was taken prisoner. 2 . 6. vii. GEORGE RUDDELL b. -ca- l ?4- 11. CLARA3 RUDDELL was b. probably Qs 1756; she m. Adam Rader 2 Apr. 1776 in Rockingham Co., Va., the sixth wedding in the Lin ville Creek Baptist Church. The Baders seem to have been an in fluential family in the Valley. On 20 ~lay 1765 A.a.am Rader and w., and Alexander Painter--perhaps Adam's Brother-in-law--and w. Mar garet ttlease small quantity of land for the building of a church house or proper place to meet to worship God in, for divers ••• but more especially for the Glory of God and the Preaching His Prec ious Gospel •••• in behalf of the Presbyterian Church to Peter Scholl, and to Michael Niece in behalf of the church called the Lutheran Church." L2J:.7. . 111. DEBORAH3 RUDDELL was b. probably £A 1759; shed. 19 Febr. 1839; m•. Tijomas Rutledge 17 Jan. 1785 in Shenandoah Co., Va. Evidentlf ~homas was then a widower; he may have been a son of the Wm • ..Kutledge named in Neal Cook's will who, in alL probabil ity, was the William of Granville Co., No. Car. cited above a·s deeding .land on Brock 1 s Creek to Cornelius.2 The Ruddell~Cook Rutledge, and the Ruddell-Rader, intermarriages have interesting possibilities for research. Deborah made bond as admnr. of Thom as Rutledge's estate 2~ Nov. 1007. L2iJ. The birthdates given for the issue of Cornelius are based solely on his marriage to !nga bo £s! 1753 and, even on that basis1 are at best educated guesses. It i~ quite possible that Deborah ~agers, indicated as thew. of John , g.v. p.5, ·was a first w. of Cornelius's and this child's mother for whom she was named. Cornelius was warranted land in Pa. in 1743 and may well have been m. about that time, with this dau. Deborah b. ca 171;1+-46, possibly after the date of Thomas Rogers 1 s will since it named no such gr.dau. ivo CATHERINEJ RUDDELL was b. probably £.2 1762, and surely the Catherine Riddle who m. Francis Sponter 8 Sept. 1791 .• In her fa ther's will the name is given as §[email protected]~, elsewhere also as ~2an gler. lied. ca 1812_ and she m. 2nd James Craig 10 ~ebr. 1813: James Cr ••• and Catherine Spangler. In 1815 she sued him for di vorce: Oratrix- is Catherine Craig, who married James Craig of Rockingham 10th June 1813. She was then the widow of Frederick Spangler--note the discrepancy in the marriage date as well as in his given name--d.eceased of Rockingham. Presumably the divorce was grapted; it was infrequent in those days and no cause was cited. L23.I • -9- v. STEPHEN3~DDET.L b. 19 Mar. 1765 in Augusta Co., Va. vi. ELIZABETH RUDDELL. was-. b. probably £.a 1767, and m. ? Alcorn by 1798 or earlier; she was named as Elizabeth Alcorn in her father's w311, 1798. vii. ANDREW RUDDELk was probably b. ca 1771, and· the young est, apparently. He was not listed in 1789 as owning land altho Cornelius was credited with 740 a., John 335 a., Stephen 490 a. and George 54 a. This last appears to be George #6. In his will, Cornelius lefts. Andrew 332 a. stating that he had formerly made gifts to his other children. He was evidently too young to have been the Andrew whom. Eleanor Goare in 1785; it was he, undoubtedly, whom. Catherine Reader (or Rader) 10 Dec. l793_ana he was quite likely the Andrew whose dau. Elizabeth Riddle Lsic7 m. Aquilla Canby 23 Dec. 1813 in Botetourt Co., Va. Catherine Rader was also called Katie and was probably the dau. of 1,,la.thias.~ Rader rather tb.an 1~fichael as given in the Bond. It is· odd that only Cornelius2 and his bro. George2, named sons ltldrew. Both Andrew and his mother, Ingabo, liere listed in the Eotetourt Co., Va. 1800 Census of Tax Lists. L24~7 J:~ STEPHEN~ RUDDELL .was b. ca· 1725, presumably in Chester Co., Pa. and d. Aug. 1800 in Woodford Co., Ky. Hem. 1st Mary ~, said to have been Mary Bird (or Byrd); hem. 2nd Sarah Bags, sometimes Bogs or Begs but most probably the latter, 28 Oct. 1782 in Rockingham Co., Va.; she was the wid. of Thomas Bags of the same Co. The Bond is dated the S!!,me day but, sometimes, a day or more elapsed before the ceremony. L·227. ~tephen was in Augusta Co., Va. by 1751 or earlier: Archibald Ruddle to Steph~n Ruddle 460 a. on Holman's Creek 24 Hay 1751; wit. Andr3w Bird, Peter Schell. Then, 10 Aug~ 1753 Stephen Ruddle and w. Mary conveyed it to Philip Harper: Land originally deeded by Lord Fairfax to Archibald Ruddle and by him to Stephen Ruddle. In a 1754 deed Stephen acquired 400 a. on Lost River in Hampshire Co., Va. from Samuel McHendry. He evidently moved to Ha~pshire Co. soon after this date; it was formed from Frederick Co. 1753. In June 1764, Bond 12 May 1763, Stephen Ruddell of Hampshire Co. sued John l.fcDonald and Isaac McDaniel. In his wilL da~ed 14 Apr. 1773, pro. and recorded 21 l·iar. 1774, Isaac Robinson of Wnitpan, Philadelphia Co. 1 Pa. named his w., Hsnnah and "friend Stephen Riddle n of Ramps hire c..;o., Va. as excrs.

Archible2 was granted land in what became Shenandoah Co., Va. as early -i2 as 1750; he deeded this land to his brother Stephen 24 May 1751. at- which time he appears to have been unmarried as no wife was mentioned in the conveyance. No record of his marriage or of his wife's name has so far been located. No doubt many of the early records were destroyed in the Civil War as opposing armies battled up and down the Valley.· And some of the counties were not keeping records as early as 1750. This land, which Archible conveyed, had been patented to Fairfax in 1749. Archibald qualified 22 Mar. 1753 as Ensign of Foot, and as Lt. in 1757; he was ~llowed 3 Pounds 6 Shillings 24 Sept. 1758 for service as Lt. in Capt. Thos. Speak's· Co., Frederick Co., Va. Colonial Militia. The Va. State Library, in memo 7 Apr. 1972, has informed me that Archibald ~ould have received no Ky. Bounty Land for his service in the French and Indian War; he presumably acquired his Ky. land "by normal purchase through the State Treasury." He was on a List of Persons in Dun~ore 1 later Shen andoah Co., Va. Nov. 1775 with 3 males over, and 2 under, lb (one ot· _ the former being himself), am5 females; all of them being white. L32d 2 7• ISAAC · RUDDELL was: b. 1729-31, no doubt in Chester Co., Pa. a-ltho a DAR record gave it a·s 1738 in Culpeper Co., Va. In a deposition, Oct. 1796 he, himself, gave his age as 64-/65. Barb, p. 3·1, said "not later than 1729" basing his opinion on an age of 21 or more for Isaac in 1750. In an Indenture, 1763, between Isaac and his wife Elizabeth, and Archibald Ruddle, the land_invoived is described as 14o a. granted Is. aa-e· 2 Aug. 1750 by Thomas .Laord .c airfax; presumably, Isaac was· then of age. L33~7 Isaac d. ~ 1811-12; his will, dated 6 Mar. 18061 was pro. Febr. 1812~ It named wife Elizabeth, sons Steven, Abraham, ueorge, Cornelius dee' d·., daughters Betsy 1-Iul_herrin, 1-.fargry ( ?}Iary) Dewi ts. two sons Isaac and John, Cornellss Lsii/ t~o daughters Polley and Nancy; son Steven and son-in-law John l11fulhering L.sic7 excrs. l?ftJ Isaac m. Elizabeth Bowman, sister of Col. Joh..~ Bowman who so named her in his wilL dated 5 Febr., pro. 17 Aug., 1784; she was daughter of George and Mary (Hite) Bowman and b. 18 Har. 1737, 4th in order of their 13 child ren. We have found no record of when or where Isaac and Elizabeth were married; shed. in Bourbon Co., Ky. as dld Isaac. Her undated will was pro. Mar. 1815, Easter Culp, Attest; it named sons Stephen, Abraham and George1 and dau. Elizabeth !-iulherin. L35J In 1772 Isaac was of Botetourt L;o., Va. when, ·with John V. Beeler, he made Bond on Beeler's sale of 280 a. on North Branch of the Shenandoah to Sam'l. Smith, per haps the husband of r·1ary3 Ruddell, #4-iii p. 11, g.v. The Ruddells seem to have been of the pioneer, frontiersman type, mov ing into new country with the vanguard; Isaac was definitely so, in ad dition to being a soldier: To Capt. Isaac Ruddell 25 lJov. 1778 for pay of his Company of :·iashington Co., Va. tiilitia sent to the Illinois und er Col. George Rogers Clark and quartered on Corn Island at the Falls of the Ohio. Many of their families accoopanied the men in these vari ous Militia outfits, much to Clark's consternation initially. However, he decided, finally, that maybe it was for the better inasmuch as they fortified the Island, planted crops, and left the families safe from attack from either shore. Capt. Ruddell ·was left in charge of them.!. "A Payroll of Capt. Richard :-fay's Company stationed in Kentucky Co. /_la~/ under the comJiand of Col. John Bowman" from 13 July to 2 Aug. 1779, in cluded the names of David, John and Henry Goodni~ht who had enlisted 17 Dec. 1778. Under subsistence, each is listed as having "Paid Cap Ruddell" for 220 days. J:his t•18S undoubtedly Capt. Isaac; John Jood- -13- nigbt may have been amang those captured "at Riddle's S~" in 1780. Perhaps it was these experiences ihat interested Capt. Isaac in th~ land and the opportunity in Ky. L327. In 1?79 he commenced rebuilding on a site abandoned earlier by Capt. John Hinkson; it then became known as Ruddle's Fort or Ruddle 1 s Station and was fortified. A num ber of families lived there in more or less constant danger from the Indians. This was also in the time of the Revolutionary War and, on 22. June 1780, Col. Henry Bird (or Byrd), with Simon Girty and some 600 Canadians and Indians, attacked and captured Ruddle' s Sta •. taking captive- 470 men, women and children. He loaded them down with plunder from their own cabin homes, and drove them on foot 800 miles to De troit where they were divided among their captors, some being taken on to Mackinac and Montreal. Individual periods of captivity varied, usually lasting until the prisoner was exchanged, paroled, or finally released in the general peace following the Indians' defeat in the Battle of Fallen Timbers 20 Aug. 1794; it occurred in what is now northwest Ohio but was most important to the history of Indiana. James, George and Stephen Ruddell.were listed among the ~9 in the garrison; the last two were Capt. Isaac's sons. James was his nephew, the son of Isaac's older bro.Archibald. These given names have caused some confusion; James has been referred to as Isaac's bro. or son, George c~lled his bro., and Stephen identified also as his bro. By Resolution 2 Jan. 1781, and various Acts for its implementation, the Va. General Assembly allotted to Gen. Clark, his officers and men in proportion to commission and rank held that day, 150,000 a. on the northwest side of the Ohio River. Fourteen Captains were to receive 3234 ao each (including Capt. Isaac Ruddell with Lots 14, 34 771 110, 15J, 179,and 234 a. in B-190); Sergeants 216 a. each (including1 sgt. Henry Dewit who may have been the husband of ?-,!argry Dev1it, a dau. nam ed in Capt. Isaac's will); privates 108 a. each (including Cornelius Ruddell, #17 q.v., 8 a. in Lot 74 and 100 a. in E-118). On Saturday, 22 l-Iar. 1783 an account of Capt. Isaac Ruddle '·s was laid before the Board, for his1 Company and rations when the Illinois country was tak en by Clark. From Col. Bowman 1 s certificate, it appeared to the Board that Capt. Huddle's Co. of Militia of Kentucky County ~as on duty 10 Mar.-24 June 1780 when they were captured by Col.Bird from Detroit and a party of Indians and the Fort at Licking was destroyed. From Capt. Huddle's parole given at East Bay and signed by Isaac ~Ian, Jr., be evidently remained in captivity until his parole 3 Nov. 1782 •. Aft er the payroll was submitted,- information was laid before the Board that Isaac Ruddle Was inimical to the United States of America. This apparently stem~ed from the fact that 1'vlhile a prisoner in Detroit, he so won the favor of the British officer in charge as to excite the jealousy and ill will. of some of his fellow prisoners because the kindness was· due, it was said,. to the fact that Rudge,ll. and the offi cer were both members of the l·1asonic Fraternity. 0 1..32/. But back to Ruddle's Station: After its capture (th& British had cannon and the Sta. was a sitting duck), the Indians proposed to march on lvfartin' s Fort, nearby, but Co}.. Bird was so distressed by their conduct at Ruddle 1 s, each taking the first person he could seize and thus separating families, that he under refused unless all the .prisoners taken should be entirelv- his control and the Indians satisfied with their plunder. When the gates of Rucdle 1 s Fort were opened, her three-year-old infant was "snatched trom LMrs. Ruddle' .§.7. arms. and thrown into the fire. ·n This despite the terms of surrender by which Bird had agreed that the women and child ren should be protected and delivered safely at t_he nearest Station and that the men, altho prisoners, were to have the privilege of tak ing their rifles and such other articles as they pleased. Capt. Byrd --he is referred to by both titles with both spellings--wrote his su perior l July 1780 of marching "the poor women and children 20 miles in one day over very high mountains ••• " A Capt. John Dunkin, who was taken to Montreal said that, after being closely confined l Sept.- 17 Oct., he was permitted to live with his fam11 and to walk ~n the town and suburbs. After Gen. "Mad Anthony" Wayne 1s victory at Fallen Timbersi the Indians sued for peace; the final treaty was signed at Greenvi le, Ohio 3 Aug. 1795 and "A general exchange of all prison ers still held by the British and Indians took place.u With Isaac and his wife when the Sta. fell were two sons: Stephen, age 12, and Abra ham, 6; two daughters: Elizabeth and Sarah; and two men: James and Am brose RuddleA no relationship indicated. Wayland wrote thatt'All were released, 17~4, except Abram and Stephen, who grew up with the· Indi-· ans remaining with them till grown men." L3~7. Some of these state ments are in error, and the information is incompiete. Wayland said James was Isaac's bro.; however, he wa·s a nephew, Archibald I s son, #10 g.v; and Sarah was not Isaac's dau. but his neice, and sister to James; see #13. Why she was there at that time is uncertain, unless· she was visiting because her older brother vas there; the Ruddells ev idently were a close-knit family. Is~ac•s son George, #16 g.v., was also in the garrison with his w. No Ambrose of a suitable age for ser vice has yet been identified; since George is known to have been there but was not listed in the foregoing, it may be that his name was read as Ambrose due to difficulty in deciphering old, time-worn records. In 1783 Isaac was back in Va. and preparing to move to Ky. as· shown by Power mf Attorney Sept. 1783 from Isaac Ruddle of County of Shenandoah, Commonwealth of Virginia, to his trusty and well beloved friends: Col. Abraham Byrd and Capt. Isaac Bowman, to settle his account~ he intend ing to move immediately to Kentucky. On 8 June 1780 Isaac Riddle et al had entered 2000 a. on Fork of the Lickine. In July 1788 there was a petition for inspection of tobacco at Isaac Ruddle's Mill on So. Fork Licking Creek at confluence of Stoner and Hinkson Forks of said creek. Capt. Isaac wa~ bur. in Stoner Mouth Presbyterian Churchyard at Bu~ dle1 s-· Mills; he was the first white settler ''in this section. 11 /_39../. Inasmuch as Isaac was granted land in.1750, it seems probable that he lo 2.§. 1750-51 and began a homestead for his future family. This, of course, is problematical as is the relative sequence of their issue; the first recorded mention of aw. is in the 1763 Frederic.k Co. Inden ture §U~ra altho a son, b. 1757, is of record. Issue, probably b. in what is now Shenaodoah Co., Va.: i. JOHNj RUDDELL was bo, possibly, 2.§. 1752. He may have been the eldest a~d named for Isaac's father, as well as Elizabeth's bro., John. He was a wit. 31 Jan. ·1759 to the marriage Bond, signed by his father, for the·raarriage of his sis~~Elizabeth, #20 g.v., to John Mulherrin; presumably he was then 21 and hence b. 1?68 or earlier. One account said John was away from the Sta. when it was captured; Lafferty said he was b. in Canada. Barb ignoredhim since he was ao~ mentioned in either of his parcntB' wills. He was appointed along with John Mulherrin as nattorney" 7 Jan. 1796 by his bro. George #16 to handle all his lawful bus iness, George having sold out and moved west. -John Ruddell's estate was appraised by Joseph L. Stephens, Nicholas and Thomas Amos and filed Mar. Court 1800; it showed John worth 222: 16: 10. ~ettlement of the estate by Isaac Ruddell, his father, Adm nr. was filed June Court 1801 •. Dates on margins of the photopr ints ranged from 1797 to 15 Sept. 1801 so John may have d. as early as 1797. The account included payment of principal and interest on the bond of John Boggs, perhaps as or bro. of Thomas whose wid. m. Stephen #3.• Evidently John3 had no living w. or issue and may not have been m.; his Inv. showed only clo thes~for his personal estate with no furniture or household ef fects. Lr+Q7. Nevertheless, the settlement indicated that he was a man of some consequence and a partner with his father in operating his milling interests: 288 flour barrels, 8 Barrels flour, 100 bu. wheat; waggonage of flour to Limestone; and 278 gal. whiskey "furnished by self at l+/ per gallon." This last item is not clear but its value was included in the settlement account. John, of course, was dead when Isaac #5 made his will in 1806; that he had no living family is further borne out by the fact that Isaac made no provision for them as he had for bis other orpbaned grandchildren. 11. ISAACj RUDDELL, Jr. may have been b. g. 1?54: and, per haps, being the second son--if indeed he was; be might have been the tirst--was named for his father. He had d. by 12 Jun~ 179~ when Joseph L. Stephens, George Ruddle and Labon Shiff were sworn in as Appraisers of his estate. The appraisement showed a considerable quantity of Household effects and "l Negro man nam ed Sam" valued at 100 Pounds. Isaac, too, was evidently a man of consequence; the household items indicate that he probably was, or had been, married altho there is no record identifying him specifically as the groom. Lafferty said he '~robably married Mary Foster and died 1794. 11 The official record gave her name as NancI Foster dau. of Jacob, the date as 23 June 1790 and the Bondsman as Peter Bloome. BH scanned microfilm of the Bonds of Bourbon Co., Ky. and wrote that the name was clearly Nanci altho some lists and the index have it Mary. Lafferty added '¼t least two children were born later to Elizabeth Ruddle in Canada, both boys, Isaac, Jr. ana John. 11 then Wayland compounded the confus ion by stating that, in addition to John being "out" with Col. Todd, "Cornelius was born after the return.''Isaac, Jr. was def itiitilt o~ ~ge 22~Jan. 1790 when he so signed himself as Bonds man for the marriage of Robert Hinkson and Polly Hinch. He was also called Isaac, Jr. Mar. 1791 in the Bourbon Co. list of tax payers. /!+17. It seems evident that Isaac, Jr. was b. by 1769 or earlier, and that he had become a propertied man by the time of bis death--hardly possible for an early teen-ager as Lafferty portrayed him; how she reconciled that age with a 1790 marriage --he might have been 9 then if b. in Canada--isn't clear. 16. 111. GEORGEj RUDDELL b. 14 Febr. 1757. l?. iv. CORNELIUS RUDDELL may have been b. ~ 1759. v. MARGRY3 RUDDELL was so named in her father's will, altho she was frequently ~~U in the records and Lafferty, 1£1.g, call ed her Mar~£I,et; perhaps she was b. ca 1763. Shem. ? Dewit and none o1 the accounts show her captured at Ruddle 1s Sta. so she may have been m. and elsewhere by 1?80. Her husband may have been the Sgt. Henry Dewit with Clark on the ~llinois expedition: ~ ••• In Bowman's Cowany, to which the 'antic' little 14 year old drummer belonged LJ)reviously referred to by Clark as floating a cross some of the deep water on his .drum? there was a tall serg eant from the Shenandoah Valley of ~irginia who stood six feet two inches in his stockings, strong,- athletic, reliable and the personification of good nature. Both were great favorites with the soldiers.· Clark, knowing this, mounted the little drummer on the shoulders of the stalwart sergeant, and motioned him to ad vance into the half frozen waters. He did so, the little drummer beating the charge from his lofty perch while Clark, with sword in hand, followed them, giving the command to 'Forward, March.' Elated and amused with the scene, the men promptly obeyed, hold ing their rifles above their heads, and in spite of all obstac les, throwing aside the floating ice, reached the high land be yond them safely. 11 A footnote stated that the tall sergeant is believed to have been Henry Dewit; it is said he stayed about Vincennes after the War where Clark saw him in 1786. Such acco unts, while no doubt having some basis in fact, could well.be legendary in the recollections of the aged participants and may therefore largely be apocryphal. In his will, Capt. Isaac named two Dewit children: Isaac and John; there was nos. Henry unless he had d. Margry was evidently dead by 1806 when the will was made; it did not name her husband. Elizabeth, in her will pro. 1815, mentioned no Dewit. Perhaps Sgt. Henry, !f her husband and U he remained in Vincennes, may have done so because Margry had d. by 1786. Mothering only two children tends to indicate an ear ly demise. My inquiry to National Archives and Records Service, hereafter NARS, produced no- service record, pension or Bounty. Land Warrant for a Henry Dewit (Dewitt, Diwit, De whitte) serv ing in the IlL campaign. Henry Dewit, if he had been m., appar ently remarried: Henry Dewit to Margaret Earlywine 20 Nov. 1786; Geo. Earliwine Bondsman; James Ruddall, Wit. And at the Vendue or Capt. Isaacls estate at Ruddle's Mills, Henry Dewit made pur chas~s.

GEORGE2 RUDDELL was b. £A 1740 accord·ing to !he Chart; Barb believed it impossible to straighten out the various Georges in terms of the rec ords concerning them. Perhaps I should follow his lead; any conclusions lacking solj.d evidence are apt to be wrong. This George is the alleged ancestor of Miss Gladys Fowler whose claimed lineage was accepted by the DAR. He is said to have do 1805 in Bourbon Co., Ky. but, when I visited Paris, the county seat in 1967, I found no will or administration for him in the Courthouse, and the deeds of record as indexed were in the -17- names of George Ruddle, #16 g.¥., and w. Theodosia ~ltho, in 1796, George #16 gave Power of Attorney in Harrison Co., Ky.--he having mov ed to Mo.-- to complete a conveyance of 200 a. to George Ruddle, Sr., undoubtedly this George #6 inasmuch as older and younger men of the same given name were distinguished as§!:. and !LI• whether father and son or not. No such deed has been located; whether it was consummated and George #6 moved to Ky. seems quite doubtful. In fact, there 1s a strong possibility that he and hiss. Andrew #21 g.v. may have gone to Wilkes Cb., Ga. and that George #6 d. there in 1807 altho the evidence so far is purely circumstantial. The date, from what we know, would be suitable and, while there were many George Ruodells appearing frequent- 11 in the records at various dates in the same and in different local ities--which makes identification of a particular George both difficult aidhazardous--all the other Georges of this period seem to be accounted for with the exception of his owns. George, U, whose date of death is uncertain. Acco~ding to ~he Chart, NGF and DAR this George #6 m. Elizabeth Preston (1?42-1809) but Barb, EF.S, BH and I, among others, have been unable to authenticate or shed any light on that claim. We have found no Ruddell-Preston marriage and, among all the records sear ched, none even named a Geoue Ruddell with aw. Elizabeth. William Preston was Fincastle Co., Va. surveyor in 1?74 and he had a dau. Eliz abeth of a suitable age: Elizabeth Preston, #9 in freston, wa~ b. £s• 1758, was dau. of Col. Wm. Preston the surveyor, and gr.dau. of John Preston the immigrant and his w. Elizabeth; she m. Wm. s. Madison. In a suit over wills, 1807, her name was still shown as ~lizabeth Madison. I believe, in the absence of valid data to the contrary, that it wa·s George #6 for whom Andrew Ruddell.was appointed temporary admnr. 14 May 1807 in Wilkes Co., Ga., shown as George Ruddell, dec'd. Despite this indication of an administration, the Wilkes Co. Probate Court found no Inv. & Sale, and no administrator's accounting. This tends to support. these conclusions:· That George a-)· had no disposable estate, b) was a widower and c) had no hei~s other than Andrew with whom he made his home. This hypothesis for our problem Qeorge is certainly conjectural but not unreasonable. Unfortunately, it mai be impossible to validate it due to lack or· pertinent records. Mrs. ~.M. Newsome, Washin~ton, Ga. "found about ten thousand graves 11 which she is publishing as Wilke§ ze:unty Ceme~ries but her search uncovered no marked Ruddell stone&• 1/. On 29 Nov. 1775, recorded 10 Febr. 1776, Qfil2r.ge Ruddlg and Maggalena~ his w., conveyed land to Abram Bird, or Dyrd. He appears almost cert ainly to have been George #6; no other so named in the records seems, from an age standpoint, to fit this case. His w. is said to have been Magdalene, dau. of Andrew and Magdalene Byrd but I have found no proof •. In his will Cornelius #2 q.v. p. 6, named "Brother George Ruddell's daughter Ingaba/1 Andrew and l¼lgdalene .byrd, above, also had a dau. Ing abo as well as one named !'1agdal ne. Note that George #6 had a dau. Ing abo and that Hounce and Clara ( 2Ruddell) Bird also named a dau. Ingabo, an unusual name. It would be quite in keeping for Cornelius to rememb er a young (and perhaps double) niece in this way. The sources located, cited and consulted, other than this will do not, however, provide George #6 with a dau. so named. Three George Ruddles were listed for Ky. in 1789: one in Fayette Co., onein Woodford Co., and #16 in Bourbon Co. George #6 was in Rockingham Co., Va. 1790, shown with 12 white souls, l dwelling and 2 other buildings. Unfortunately the 1800 Va. Census has -18- somebow been destroyed. The s. Andrew was not listed separately in 1790 and apprently, he and his w. were numbered among the 12 whites. Neith er &eorge nor Andrew were listed in Shenandoah or Rockingham Co. for 1810. Exce~t- for the alleged Fowler DAR Lineage, there is nothing to show that Ueorge #6 ever left Va. for Ky. He was probably the George Ruddle of Rockingham Co., Va. who, with Jacob Custer and others, peti tioned for a new County 11 Oct. 1792. And it was probably he whom. If. May 1786 Mary Goare, wid. of Joseph who had d. 1775 or earlier. She was still a wid. in· 1785 when listed as Mary Gora, Head of Family, with ~.white souls; Henry Goore was also listed with 8 white souls. Both were in the area surrounding New ~arket, Va.; the George Ruddells and the Goares all.lived in that area in Shenandoah Co. but on the Rockingham border. Liilif. George #6 was one of the original Justices, 17 Apr. 1772·, of Dunmore Co., Va. later absorbed in Shenandoah and which also included a part of Frederick Co.; his name was not on the list dated 26 Oct. 1773.

L4 There Cornelius met and m. "the beauteous Jane Mulherrin" in 1782-1 ibid. Arnow wrote that Jane was dau. of John Mulherrin but, from the known birthdates, this is biologically out of the question. It seems likely that John and Jane were both children of James Mulherrin; there is some discussion of this in the Appendix. John Mulherrin m. Elizabeth Ruddell #20, q.v., Cornelius's sis. Guild wrote th2t the wedding of Cornelius Ruddle "to the beautiful Jane Mulherrin" Lnote Arnow's imprecise quot~7 was among the first in the "colony which settled at the Bluff near the French Lick 11 now the city of Nashville. Mr. James Shaw, a· trustee of the colony, performed the ceremony along with three other couples, all in one day. The first wedding in the colony was in the summ~r of 1780; these four ''were probably the next marriages succeeding that Lon~7. 11 A 1781 date for Cornelius and Jane appears more likely altho there is no recor ded date to my knowledge. Tradition, Guild continued, has handed down some particulars of that wedding: "The colony was then in its infancy and the settlers were not supplied with the means or appliances necessary to make a wed ding occasion brilliant, either in the way of gorgeous dresses, a table laden with rich viands and luxuries to tempt the fast idious appetite, and a fine band to furnimmusic while the guests 'tripped the light fantastic toe,' as the older settle ments could do, but there was not wanting the disposition on the part of those more immediately interested to make the affair as grand and imposing as circumstances would admit, especially as it was among the first weddings in the new settlement~ They were well supplied with game of almost every description, with which to prepare the most savory and tempting dishes, but there was neither flour nor meal in the whole colony with which to make bread, nor had there been for six months. In this emergency two of the settlers were mounted on horses and hurried off to Danville, Ky., for a smalL quantity of corn in order to sup ply the wedding table with bread. Only a few days elapsed be fore the couriers returned, bringing with them each one bush el of corn, which soon found its ~ay to the mortar and pestle, where it was speedily converted into excellent meal, and from it was baked the first 'bride's· eake-1 of which this new· colo ny boasted. It was made with pounded corn-meal, with no other ingredients than a little salt and water. Ali things were in readiness and the happy pair pledged their love and fealty to each other 'And their lips and lives express'd The sacred vow that they profess'd.' Amid the dangers that environed the settlement, the hearts of this band of pioneers grew· happy while celebrating the wedding with song, dance, and feast, rendered exquisitely delightful by the introduction of the wedding 'pound cake,' and perhaps no cake on a similar occasion, before or since, wa~ enjoyed vitb more zest." L'S3·:,..7 . Cornelius Ruddle, James and John Mulkerin ti.!£7 were named, with others, 10 May 1?84 under a Davidson Co. petition to have 64o a. of land, being early settlers of the county;· this was enacted into law. There is noth ing to indicate that Cornelius, or his heirs, ever claimed his land in the Illinois country. In a letter dated 4 May 1?8? to Gov. Caswell, Colo Anthony Bledsoe mentioned that Cornelius had been killed. Aletter, dat ed l~June 1?87 from Cols. A. B. and James Robinson listed those killed •in la~t quarter" including Cornelius in Nov., which would have bgen 1786; he was ambushed by Indians while hunting wild turkeys. L84~/ The inventory of his estate was made 2 Jany. 1?8? by James Mulherin and Jane Ruddle. Arnow, 9p.ci~. p •. 369, called the listing "an example of a- Cum berland pioneer family with the basic essentials and little more." The possessions, as inventoried, are listed in the Appendix for that reason. James Mulherin taking inv. with Jane, the widow, lends credence to he assumption that he was her father. I~sue, b.

STEPHEN3 RUDDELL. was b. 1768, his age being given as 12 when he was captured in 1780. He d. £!! 1840-~5 in Adams Co., Ill.; his will was pro. there 13 Nov. 1845 but 11 the Executors appointed in said will have de clined serving as such." No reason was given; perhaps because of his several marriages, the array of issue by the different wives, and fami ly dissension. The ,,,ill is not dated; it named his 111ife, Rachel, his three daughters Susannah Ruddell, Amanda Van Ruddell, and 1\/Iary Elizabeth Rgdd~ll; his w. Rachel and hiss. William David Ruddell to be Executors. LB6.!..I Stephen was m. in:. tially to an Indian woman after his adoption in-- to the Tribe, and according to its ritual; when he came back to Ky., she is said to have returned to her people. In the absence of any o.ther suit able §~ephen, it appears to have been he whom. 2 Oct. 1797 Catherine Kingrey; Abraham Byrd, Bondsman. This is borne out to a considerable ex ten, by memberships in the Coopers Run Baptist Church in Bourbon Co.: Stephen Ruddle bapt. 1801, left 1811; Catherine Ruddle bapto 1804. There is no indication of what happened to her. Stephen next m. 6 July 1809 Susan David (dau. of William, an immigrant from Germany to Va. who later settled in Bourbon Co., Ky •. ) b. 1780 in Culpeper Co., Va. or, perhaps on the ocean. She probably was with Stephen in Mo., but had d. by 6 Apr. 1834 when hem. Rachel Wood in Lincoln Co., Mo. Lg7~7 Stephen was with his parents at Ruddle's Sta. when it fell to the Brit ish and Indians; as noted above, he was 12 when taken prisoner--an im pressionable age. Wayland, !£!9., said Stephen met Tecumseh the well known Indian Chief, when each was 12·. and grew up with him in2 the same village •. Stephen lived with the Indians for 15 years and too·k part with them in several engagements against the whites; he and his bro. Abraham #19 tr did not return to their former home when the prisoners were re leased but chose to remain with the Indians altho they both returned to Ky. later. According to an inquiry~ #12752 in Genealogx and History (Jan. 1948), Stephen testified at ~ecumseh 1 s trial. During the War of 1812, Stephen was an interpreter for the friendly Shawnee Indians and provided valuable informa~ion to the troops of Gen. Harrison in his efforts to reinforce Ft. Wayne. Clift, o~. cit., p. 254 showed Stephen Ruddle paying taxes in Bourbon Co. in 1800, undoubtedly our "Indian Steve. 11 About this time he was converted to Christianity, after receiv ing some education, and became a Baptist preacher. Between 1805 and 1811 he made yearly visits to the Shawnees and Delawares, and introdu ced Christianity among them; he was ordained a Minister of the Gospel in 18-10. He had been bonded 6 Dec. 1809 to Solemnize marriages in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, based on a testimonial fr§m the Bourbon Co. Court; Aga Parker and Nathaniel Fisher were on the ond with him. Later he became a minister in the Christian denomination and established the first Christian Chttrch in Ursa Twsp., Adams Co. l Ill. where he settled in 1829, having left Ky. for Pike Co., Mo. in 1~19. He was stili. in Pike Co. in 1828 when he and John Mulherin, his bro.-in-law who had m. Eliza beth #20, g.v., declined executorship on the estate of Garret Berkelew, wili dated 30 May 1824 and filed 2 Sept. 1828. ~he_WestgI,n Citi~gg, Paris, Ky. noted 19 Jan. 1819 that a letter was being held in the Paris Post Office for the Rev. Stephen Ruddell. 11The people of Bourbon County, Ken tucky remembered with rezpect Rev. Stephen Ruddle." /E8~7 The Rev. Ste phen Ruddell, formerly of Ky., organized the Ramsey Creek Church in Cal umet Twsp., Pike Co., Mo. £,g· 1818-19, the first church in the Township, five miles south of Clarksville and three miles north of Paynesville. The Paynesville neighborhood was settled 1817-20 by Ruddells and Mulher rins, among others: 11John Mulherin and Stephen Ruddle, the old pioneer preacher who had been captured by the Indians" were among the first fam ilies·· nwho took up their abode on historic Ramsey's Creek. 11 Stephen was son of Isaac of Rudqle's Fort, and a brother of Abraham and George who settled in the New Madrid District. L89~7 Apparently there is no complete and firm record of Stephen's issue by his various wives.

Stephen, stated " ••• I believe had J dau's 1795-1809, one being the above Sarah (b. 1807 Ky.) ••• " Perrin, QP• ci~. p. : ~IT!C.is, ~ugdle b. 1799 Bourbon Co., d. 1867, m.

Court Records, Paris: l May 1815 Nathaniel Fisher and Marga ret appointed guardians for Thomas, Ann, and Polly Fisher, infant heirs of Thomas Fisher1 dec'd., aged above 14 years; Stephen Ruddle a Security on the Bond. It ls interesting to note that Nathaniel Fisher, the guard ian, was a- Bondsman for Stephen when he was authorized to solemnize mar riages in Ky. While one cannot conclude that there was necessarily a mar ital connection, it might well be an indication of such; on the other hand, it may represe~t only mutual accomodation among neighbors and friends. The Thomas ~isher whom. I~rricia would have been 20 in 1815, a minor above the age of 14 but of marriageable age. Was he the Thomas fo~ whom the guardians were appointed? If so, it would strengthen the reason, other than friendship, for Stephen's and Nathaniel's mutual accomodation on the bonding. And if, in fact, Stephen did m. Catherine Kingrey in 179~ a dau.

Theodore is not a tradit~ ional name among the early Ruddells; James is, and the middle name Fi5h ll-, given him, would indicate that it was the family name of close and es~eemed friends, or his mother's maiden nameo Was she the Ann or PollI !isher, over 14 or ev~n one of the younger girls, named in the guard ianship proceedings?2 !92£7 Before leaving S~ephen3 something of his life as an Indian should be· noted; Allan W. ~ckert in Ihe Frontiersman (1967) gives some information about it. The book is concerned basically with the lives of Tecumseh, . and or Simon Kenton; Stephen was closely associated with the former. However, I found no reference to Stephen's Indian marriage or to his· wife, or to a trial of Tecumseh. On p. 219-20 Eckert recounts the fali of Ruddle-·' s Sta. According to his account, it was John Ruddell. who rais ed the white flag and surrendered, "his- brother Isaac" being laid up with an injured foot caused by a falling rock~ few days earlier. It was "Mrs. Ruddellts infant sonn-, indexed as Mrs. John Ruddell, who wa:S: snat ched from her arms. "John RuddelL hastened to her aid and •••fell with head broken and his scalp lifted." None of the other accounts portray a picture such as this; it would make a good plot for a modern TV western~ Isaac1 s brother, John, Jr. #1-1 ~-~•, had been dead for at least 30 yrs.; his son John,#5-i g.v,, was reported to have been away from tha Sta. at the time and, from the Inventory of his estate, appeared to have been unmarried. While the list of the garrison at Ruddle's Sta. is doubtless incomplete, and probably inaccurate, no ~ohn is included. On p. 380-81 and P• 384-87, ther~ are a few further details. Stephen Ruddell wa5 call ed Sinnanatha--Big it ish. He and Tecumseh being the same a-ge, 12, ''be~ama. extremely close companions." Stephen was a "bright, cheerful youngster" and adapted well to Indian life. Each taught the other his own language. The Shawnees customarily did not encourage captives to join war parties in raids against the whites but, when it was the captive's own desire and he had been adopted into the tribe, it was sometimes permitted and Stephen did go once, at least. Peter Farb?. Man 1.s: R!.§.e to Ci vi,l~gtion a~ Sho!B_RL.ih~Indian~ of North._!merica (19b3)p. 261-63, has some inter esting comments on Indianization. Speaking of a prisoner of war adopted into a Tribe: •The adopted person w2s thoroughly intetrated into all aspects of the Indian society he had joined. He had the same rights and obligations as any native-born member~ He was expected to become a part of the kinship system, the clans and moieties, the cere monial and warrior societies. He had new parents, new kin, new allegiances •••• So thoroughly were adoptees integrated into the complex social structure of the Indian society that even Whites who had originally gone unwillingly as captives of the Indians refused to be ransomed. These captives had been integrated in the fullest way and given a definite role to play. A White could become an extremely important person in Indian society. 11 Eckert 1 s "Chapter Notes II contain a great .deal of documentation. The Q.r_g Rer Mss are cited frequently; the RuddelL material is from Stephen Rud dell_ "Journa·l of Stephen Ruddel:L, 11 unpublished narrative written in 1882 for Benjamin Drake; in Galloway Papers, Xenia Lib. Coll. Thus the cita tion. Knowing that Stephen was dead by 1845, well before the 1882 date for the HJournal" ascribed to him, my curiosity was aroused and I sought to learn more about what, on its face, appeared to be an autobiography.

In a comment on my final draft, BH quoted further from Tucker illid: ''When Benjamin Drake, an early biographer of Tecumseh, was considering his research, which he began !n 1§.gl, Ruddell. supplied him with a relative ly short manuscript--a f~ithfuL account as Ruddel1..understood the racts.

How much accuracy was lost due to the passage of time, and what alterations may have been made in his manuscript by the time it was published in 1882, are moot questions. Early records in Kentucky, and on the frontier generally, were poorly kept if kept at all; it is doubtful that historians had many they could consult conveniently, m, they relied on the recollections of old-timers who were only tcohappy~ to regale them with their o"'n nRecollections" of days gone by--old men love to relive their youth--embellished by their own interpretations and the egotistic urge to appear in a good light, as well. as by the gently, lulling telescoping of the yearso Any grandparent recalling in cidents of his own youthful days, wili be aware of the uncertainty of events, and their timing, in recounting them.

The evident closeness of the Mulherin and Davis families is a bit unus ual, even for first cousins--perhaps cemented by the months Elizabeth and Sarah were together in captivity. Each family seems to have moved to Pike Co. in its entirety, not many years apart and to have settled, even the married children, in the same Township. In Mo.!.-Pion§_gr..§ Vo 9 (1970) p. 4, 8, 14 ''Pike Co., 1..fo_._ Marriages 184-0-51" I found these: Eliza Mulherin to George w; Squires 15 July 1841 John 14. Mulherin to Ann viatts 29 June 1843 Elizabeth Mulherin to I{oah Griffith 15 Apr. 1846. These· marri ages are not recorded in Stephen 1-fulherin' s Bible but the lviulherins named were his children. ~Qhn ~. was the eldest of Stephen's issue, b. 3- Mar. 1820 "on Friday, 11 Eliza Jane was next, b. 23 July 1821 non 1-·fon day," then !!ames H. and ~illi§.fil before ~1i~abe_th__ !1• b. 3 Oct. 1827 "on Wednesday." These weddings occurred prior to the purchase of the Bible and were not recorded there. The births of all. Stephen's and Susan's are recorded, as are the deaths of some, and data on the family of their son, fl~ndleg• Pike Co. Marriages, Bk. 1, began in 1825 altho the Co. was formed in l 18; some of the early Court records are said to have been lost, so those available now are incomplete. 21. ANDREWJ RUDDELL was b. 1768; probably the Andrew Ruddle recommended LApr., and qualified 25 Nov., 1782 as Ensign in Capt. George Ruddle 1 s Co. of Rockingham Co. Militia1 evidently his father's outfit. So- George #6 was: still living in Va. while George # 16 was sweating it out in Can ada, waiting to be exchanged. If b. 1768 as NGF showed, Andrew would have been but 14 in 1782 and it seemed doubtful, at that age, that he would have been commissioned. However, I have been informed by the Va. State Library that 11there are records of commissioned officers as young· as 14 in America." It was evidently this Andre-v, who m. Eleander Goar(s) 22 Mar. 1785; neither the Qriae's father nor a Bondsman was named. No marriage Bond was found. L103~7 Eleander may have been dau. of Henry Goar (Gore) of Shenandoah Co., T/a. who d.

L104.!../ Andre1t1 #21 probably moved to Geor_CJ'ia £2 1800; neither he nor George #6, his father, appeared in the 1810 Census for either Rocking ham or Shenanqoah Counties, Va. EES sent BH copy of a Bill of Sale he found in the Harrison Co., Ky. records showing that Andrew Ruddell of Wilkes Co., Ga. disposed of a Negro. I quote from attachment to her letter of 22 Aor. 1972: Be it remembered that I, Andrew Ruddle of the State of Georgia and County of Wilkes, have this day sold to William Stevenson of the State of l~entucky and Harrison County for the sum of three.,_hunared and forty dollars a l~esro man named Aae.m 1.·Jhich said Legro~ do hereby warrant to his, the said Stevenson, -40- against myself, my heirs, executors or administrators· and all other persons whatsoever claiming in any manner whatsoever said Negro. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this eighth day of March, 1808. A. Ruddell Attest: Sally Ruddell ) Polly Ruddell ) Eleanor Ruddell) Harrison County Court July 16th 1808 This: bilL of sale from Andrew Ruddell to William Stevenson was produced to me and ordered to be recorded. Attest: W. Moore c. H. C. There is nothing to indicate who produced the Bill and ordered it re-c orded, or whether the sale was made in Ga. or Ky. As far as: we know, Andrew never lived in Ky. but he might have been visiting relatives there in the spring of 1808. l,1aybe Stevenson lived in Harrison Co, but was in Wilkes then and, later, recorded the Bill where he had his home. Eleanor, attest, ·wa·s probably Andrew's w.; Sally and Polly are unident ified but undoubtedly kin of some degree. Andrew Ruddell was appointed temporary administrator 14 May 1807 in Wilkes Co. for George Ruddell,. dee' d. This may have been George, #6 Andrew's father,~-, and I believe it was in the absence of any con trary data altho I-am so far unable to prove it. There was also another George, presumably younger and probably Andrew's son, altho his issue isn't definitely known. Eleanor, Andrew's w.~ was evidently dec 1 d. by 18 Dec. 1808 when hem. in Wilkes Co. Lgan / 2iQ7 Reviere, LLewellyn Evans; she was wid. of Wyatt Reviere. Ll05~7 This apparently clears up a problem in identity which has bothered me. Brumbaugh, QJ2.!.Cit., v. 1, p. 371 showed Ann and Lee Charlton Ruddle warranted land in the Milita~y District of Ohio on the service of Revier Wyatt in the Va. State Navy. This evidently referred to Leanna, presumably a Charlton, wid. of Wyatt Reviere and, subsequently, w. and wid. of Andrew; on some records her name appeared as t:nn_~_g •. On 7 Febr. 1810 Andrew Ruddell in right of his w., and John Charlton in right of his w., petitioned in the estate of Wyatt Reviere "whose heirs they are. 11 Leanna Reviere had been appointed administratrix for the estate of Wyatt Reviere 31 Jan. 1803 and Andrew Ruddle was one of the appraisers 11 June 1804. The Inv. and Sales 1807- 10 sho·wed \•lyatt lieviere; aec'p. to Leannc1 Ruddle, J'ob..n Charlton, \•lilliam Reviere.

In 1~1ar. 1811 Andrew Ruaaeil "admnrs. n of \~yatt Reviere was permitted to sell tv10 lots in \1lashington, the \-lilkes Co. sgat;_probably the Revieres and the tiuddells lived in or near there. L106~/ In Mar. 1609 Peter B. ?errell was appointed guardian for William, orphan of Wyatt rteviere, dec'd. From this, it appears that when a wid owed mother remarried, an unrelated maie was required as guardian for any minor children. In 1824, the estate of P. B. Terrell paid tuition to Andrew Ruddell, pre~um~bly on William's behalf. Wyatt Reviere 1 s est ate, Leannah Reviere L§i£/a~mini~tratrix, was divided in 1811 on Writ of Partition 7 Febr. 1810 LS!:.1N2/ by Andre\-1 Ruddle in right of his wife, William Reviere by his guardian Peter B, Terrell, and John Charlton in rig~t of his wife. To Leanna Ruddle 8 slaves, wa~nut bed~ etc. J2490.00; to John Charlton 7 slaves, piano bed, etc.; to ·w1illiam .iie·viere 7 sla ves, bookcase, bureau, bed, sideboard, etc., value to same amount. To estate of Jos. Ryan, dee' d. for l coffin 1 Nov. 1803·. So Wyatt was· evi dently pretty welL fixed; he was in Wilkes Co. 6 Nov. 1789 when Isaac Williams deeded to \alyatt Reviere ~00 a=. on Littrle River, origins.l gi:ant. to said Williams 1787. Wyatt. probably d. in the falL of 1802. L107~/ Andrew probably d. sometime in 1828. Isaac II. Matthe·ws, the administra tor and probably a son-in-law~ provided the appraisers with a listing of tithe goods & chattels 0 19 l'lovo 1828 and their certificate 15- Dec. 1828 ~ltho the Court did not receive it until 26 Oct. 1829. Leanna was the only RuddelL making purchases a-t the Sale. Her wilL 11Lee Ann II Rudd- eli was dated Wilkes Co. 25 Nov. 1833 and pro. there Jan. 1838. It nam ed her gr.daus.Cordelia Charlton, and Mary Charlton both of whom were unm. and probably young; ~nd dau. Cordelia Callin; no Ruddells we~e m~n tioned; it is clear that .8.ndrew and ~eanna had no living issue. L108.J Andrew no doubt moved to \iillces Co. with his w. and children;:. whether any of them were then of marriageable age is a moot question, but prob ably not. Presumably the following issue are Andrew's altho there is little to confirm it besides the name Ruddell and their Wilkes c~. dom icile; the references given are from DavidS0nQp, ci,.t.: 1. llfred; Isaac N. 14atthev1s ·wa·s appointed administrator for Alfred Ruddell, dee I d. on 16 Dec. 1826, v. l, p. 219.

Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, meeting in St. Louis, ap pointed him missionary to the Sha·wnee Indians, and appointed his brother William to the Kansas Triber these were two of the four Missions projec ted by the Conference. The Rev. Thomas Johnson brought his:bride, on their wedding journey, to the Mission; it was then on the banks of the Kansas River, three-fourths of a mile south of the- present town of Turn er in 1-lyandotte Co., Kansas. Sarah rode a horse and he ·walked beside her,, across the State of Missouri. Later the Mission was moved; it is now just off U.S.Highway 50 in the Kansas City suburb of Fairway, Johnson Co., Kansas··. It seems fitting that the County should be named for him. The old Mission Cemetery is·on U.S~ 50, a few blocks from the Hission buildings and easily passed unnoticed.

JOIDI4 RUDDELL was b. 12 June 1794, probably, in Ky., and moved with his pare~ts to \vhat is no·w Pemiscot Co., 1-.:!o. ca 1794-96. His ¼., v1as 1-fary· -44- GilL; oddly enough, the Bible QR.c1i., gave no record of marriages for the children of George #16 and Theodosia. It showed John #25 b. 12_ June 179J altho it appeared on his gravestone as 1794 which agrees with the age shown there since he had not reached his 73rd birthday. He was· liv ing in the New Madrid area at the time of the tragic earthquake there in 1811 but, as a young man, moved with his uncle Abe to Batesvill_e, no·w in Independence Co., Ark., v1hen the to\m was "first beginning. u The 1877 account by Judge Jefrrey in Barb, p. 42, 46, said John and his father had disagreed over the ovmership of some land and gave this as the reas on for moving. Abraham Ruddell,._ Sr., "Old Uncle Abe, 0 was a grand juror for Independence Co. 19 :Nov. lo21; the county was formed 20 Oct. 1820. Stockard said Abe ·was father of this John #25 which is incorrect. As the reader is probably aware by this time, it is·· a simple matter to confuse these folks. John was apparently a Southern sympathizer and sorely dis appointed that he was too old to bear arms in the Civil War; however, his·son John', according to Barb,~• 47, did serve in the Confederate forces and was t,-1ice wounded. John #25 d. at Batesville 17 Apr·. 1867 ae: 72 yrs., 10 mo. 5 dys.

It appears as tho there may have been two men named Cornelius Ruddell serving with Clark and I dent want to ignore that possibility. The DAR credited Cornelius #2 g.v. with service as Sgt. under Clark, but there is no record of land being allotted to a Sgt. Ruddell. Cornelius #2, then,was probably in his sixties altho the DAR Patr,!Qt Index gave his birth as 1730; presumably he was of age in 171+3, if not earlier, when he was warranted land in. Pa.

Isaac Bowman, with seven or eight men and one family, set off from Kaskaskia the 15th Nov. last in a batteau, attended by another batteau with twelve men and three or four families in it bound to the falls of the uhio. I judged it safer to send to the falls many articles belonging to the common wealth, by Bowman, than to bring them myself by land. However, Bow man's batteau fell into the hands of Chickasaw Indians and the other arrived in March or April at the French Lick_on Cumberland, with the account that all the men except one Riddle LRuddlg7 were killed and taken. 11 English Qp.cit. v. 2 p. 981. According to ~ri-~!2..t.L~rad~ 24 June 1972 pub. Knightstown, Ind. 46147, (these references in EH letter 19 Sept. 1972), the "little antic drummer" whom Clark mention ed in his Journal (see Margry Ruddell #5-v p. 16) was Pierre Charle ville, probably s. of Francis Charleville whom English 1: 283 ment ioned. When Clark surrounded Kaskaskia the night of 4 July 1778, he found the French dancin6 to the music of a drum and violin. The drum mer was Pierre, 14; Clark and he became good friends, the boy played for the men whe11 they drilled, and went along on the march to Vincen nes; he was dubbed 11 antic 11 because he did all sorts of tricks with his drum for the amusement of Clark and his man. 83.

All indications are - that this was the group fro~ Abbeville,w emigrating westward, altho we cannot definitely rule out the possibility that it was the Pa. James and his family. Charles Mulherin, of Abbeville, na~ed children James, ?ohn and Jean in his 1789 will with the balance of his estate to be eq ually divided "amongst all l11fy Children" ·which probably included \·Jilliam.

That James may have been married then is a definite possibility. Betsy l•Iu.!_herrin wE;,~ m. in 1802 and Charles l·ful herrin in 1804 in Davidson Co.

In 1820 Charles was ae 26-45 and could have been born as early as 1775 before the l'-iulherrins \vere of record in David son Co. Ho,1ever, the only marriage of record for James was in l'•faury Co., Tenn. in 1815, when he was perhaps 60 or more, to a widow then 35-45. A dau. by a previous marriage would account for the girl 10-16 in the 1820 Census in James's household. "DIED, in this county ••• Sunday night last,J1r.

This was the first knowledge either of us had of Canadian Ruddles. Prob ably they represent another branch of the family who emigrated later and settled there. However, Capt. Isaac #5, his son George #16, and his neph ew-James ~10 were prisoners for a time in Canada--in the Province of quebec, apparently; Ontario is the adjoining Province on the west. Capt·. Isaac and George were· m. and their wives were with them. James was. then unm. but it seems: quite unlikely that he acquired a Canadian w. while-a prisoner, lost her and, when released, left children behind. Some others, unidentified, are discussed briefly in the text. If addit ional data come to light before this compil~tion is completed, they will be included as addenda. ADDENDA 1. P. 2-5, re John1 and Iieal Cook: In her letter 13:· June 1972, BH re ported on some research carried out for Colleen Lofrese by Thanas: A. Ur bine, Jr., Ridley Park, Pa. 0£ the E. Nottingham records in the Chester Co., Pa. Historical Soc. John Ruddell, under different spellings, was listed on the Tax Rolls 1718 thru 1740; those for 1741 thru 174? had been lost. He was not listed for 174-8; presumably by then, or earlier, he had moved to Va. On 3-18-1727 John Ruddell witnessed the will of Sam uel Littler, and on 7~28-1727 that of Hugh Morgan, both of Nottingham. In proving the latter, John Cook and Robert Oldham made their marks but· John Ruddell so signed his na~e indicating to us the original and pre ferred spelling and that John was a ma.n with some schooling. The I-jott ing ham Lands papers, also in the Chester Co. Hist. Soc., showed that the Lots, when originally granted, were thought to be in Pa. Then, when the Mason-Dixon Line was run, parts of them were found to be in Md. James and Wm. Brown from New Castle, Del. were the first settlers in the area. Later they brought others of the ~uaker faith to Nottingham and Penn granted th! Lots to this group. Lot ff33 was granted Wm. Drown 30 Mar. 1702; John bought it from him 24 Oct. 1721, and sold about half of it to Francis Moore 29_Sept. 1745, probably in preparation for his move. He had sold 257 a. to John Cook, his bro.-in-law, 22 !'-fay 1724. By 1789, thru other transactions, the land ·was in the hands of Wm. Rogers or his- heirs. Thomas Rogers of W. Nottingham, in his 172+5 will, named a son William Rogers. Capt. John W.Haines, USN (Ret.), who researched for BH in July 1972, ver ified much of the foregoing from Chester Co. Tax List~ 1693-1740 in the files_ of the Genealogical Soc. of Pa., Philadelphi~ Lher letter 30 July 197i7. He found some of the yeaIS between 1718-1+0 to be missing. lrei ther John, Jr. nor Cornelius #2 ·were listec altho, presumably, each ivas of age before 17~0; perhaps neither of the~ owned taxable property there at the time. However, a James Rudal of Aston was taxed 1732, 1734 and 1735; tne -xxxvii- 1731, 1733 and 1736 Lists were among the missing. Aston is now in Dela-· ware Co. and not very close to E. Nottingham. The name James, of course, was· often given to Ruddell male offspring but, so far, this man is uni dentified; he was not listed a!ain and may have d. or moved elsewhere. Possibly he was father of John or the eldest of his male issue; no re cord of an estate was found for him. Could Deborah (Rogers) Ruddell have been his wife? No Ruddell was named in the Tax Lists 1747-1763. Eliza beth White, the testator's w., and John Ruddell were excrs. for the will of Joseph White, carpenter of Nottingham, dated 13 Mar. 1731/2 and pro. 18 May 1732. Barb, p. 2, h~d it Ylgt:t§. but both Mr. Urbine and Captain Haines gave it as }ihit~. LReferen£es for these wills are: Chester Co. Pa. Will Bk. A, p. 238, 273, 371~/ Neal Cook was taxed in E. Nottingham 1737 having, apparently, just come up from Md. as there was no earlier Qiester Co. tax record for him altho, as noted previously, the 1736 List was missing. Capt. Haines also examined the voluminous Gilbert Cope records in the Soc. files-. Cope worked as early as 1861, and thru 1904, compiling the Chester Co. Quaker Monthly Meeting Records. In the Cope Records, v. 9, p. 69, he· found an affidavit from Neal Cook: ''Neal Cook, aged 78 of Cecil Co., Md., Testifies on oath May 26, 1735, respecting Lord Baltimore•~ Fort: Came into New Castle County and went to live near Christiana Creek about 1684, where he remained about 40 years before going to Mafyland. The· log· house called Lord Baltimore's Fort stood but a little distance from the common road which led from the place where he lived to New Castle; which road he constantly travellgd to church and court for near to 1+0 years. 14ade his mark. /_See· ~!iscellaneous Pape~s relating to the Lower Counties, Penna.

Certainly John Ruddell courted and m. l1ary Cook in the Colonies and not in England as Barb opined. How Barb came to over look these fruitfui Qopg_Bgco!:.Q_g in his own Pa. research can only be explained by assuming that, having found no Ruddells in the 1.-ren' s Iviin utes of the Quaker meetings, he decided there was no point in pursuing the Quaker angle any further--an unfortunate oversight, if true. Neal Cook, having testified QI!_Qath, was evidently not a Quaker, for the Quaker discipline permitted affirmation only, but not swearing an oath under penalty of being disowned, i.e., dismissed from the church. And there seems to be no reason for assuming that the Ruddells were Quakers, either. Capt. Haines checked the New Garden Quaker records, which inclu ded E. Nottingham prior to 1730, and did not find the name under any of its spellings. Mrs. Gann had the Q~aker records at Swarthmore Collage examined and, again, no Ruddell. LBH letters i.Qid and 5 Nov. 1972~/ One wonders where Ramsey obtained his information for Carolina Cr£dl~. Mrs·. Gann and Mrs. Roberts each wrote him, asking for his authority, but each letter was returned without com~ent in its stamped, self~ad dressed envelope--which is strange! One would expect a compiler to want to defend and justify his assertions. Of interest are BH's notes Qn the history gnd geography of the area in which Neal Cook had lived Lhar letter ~Qic/ and_.her dis~ussion of_ the route he followed as stated in his affidavit. i!hifi. 30 1;ov o 1972.!.7 l'Ie°\'1 -xxxviii- Castle is now the northern county af Delaware. When William Penn receiv ed his Charter in 1681 from Charles II, he bought the Colony of Delaware outright from the Duke of York and annexed i t 1 as The Lower Counties·, to the land granted in his Charter. In 1638 the ~wedes had made the first settlement and founded Ft. Christiana, the present \-!ilmington, also giv ing the name Christia~a to a creek or river flowing into the Bay from the southwest. In 1651 the Dutch moved in, founded Ft. Casimir, now liew Castle and, by 1655, had complete control of the Swedish settlements which then extended as far as present-day Philadelphia. When the Duke of York captured New Amsterdam in 1664, he acquired Delaware Colony for the English. Penn, upon arriving in 1682 and founding his Pennsyl vania Plantation, naturalized all these Swedes and they were soon assi milated into the incoming settlers of Pa. Neal Cook, from the date of his affidavit, was still in Md. in i?35; we know he paid taxes in Chester Co., Pa. 1737, the year before he d., and possibly in 1736. Hence, he was but a short-time resident there; he had lived in New Castle, Del. "about 1+0 years befo e going to Maryland 11 so he wentthere g 1721+. Thus it appears that John1 courted and m. l-iary Cook in Del. before he, himself, is of record in Pa. Aided by The_l1ary LanQ__~g1~ (1940), TI}e De1E~fil:e Guide (1938, rev. 1955) and State High way Maps, BH has retraced. Neal-Cook's probable route ''from the place where he lived to Ne,-l Castle; .. apparently "the common roaa II is now State 273 in both Del. and Md. The Old Presbyterian Church on Delaware St., also 2?3, in New Castle, Del. in 1707 replaced the earliest church buil ding there: The little old wooden church dedicated in ?1657 by the Dutch Reformed, one of the earliest Calvinistic congregations in the co~ntry; it united with the British Presbyterians who settled after 1664 t_p. 232- 25g7. Immanuel Church, Episcopal, stands on the Green, north of Delaware St. The Immanuel Anglican Parish was formed in 1689; shortly afterward the Swedish Lutherans united with it, and this church building was ded icated in 1705 bya Swedish minister. \-lhich of these lieal attended is a moot question. The Old Courthouse, dating back to the time of William Penn 1 2 stThree Lower Counties, u is also on the north side of Dela·ware St. b.240-4g7. Christiana, originally Christine Bridge on Christiana Creek, is about 5 miles further west on 273; still further west half a mile is the Talbot~s Fort marker.,_ probably the 1•Lord Baltimore's Fort" in the affidavit t_p. 483-84, 52Q/. Between 1680 and 1684, Talbot impor ted more than 100 Irish settlers to build block houses and signal tow ers as protection against the Indians. Could Neal Cook have been one of these? l1Id. State 273 crosses the Del. line 2 miles ·west of :Newark, Del.; 10½ miles further is Calvert. Here, on one of the lJottingham Lots, is the E. Nottingham Friends Meeting House founded 1701. These 37 Lots were significant in the boundary dispute between Penn and Lord Balti more. Eoch Lot was of 500 a. and laid out by Penn in Susquehanna l1anor, originally patented to George Talbot; most of this territQry was ret- _ urned to l-fd. when the Mason-Dixon Line ·was run in 1765.

Court~7 The DAR application, #548384, of Elizabeth Ann Taliaferro 11cMillan shows her descent from Richard Talia ferro, b. 9-24-1763 in Fredericksburg, Va., and his 2nd w. Rebecca Rid dle, b. 1784, m. 1800. This may be the date of the minister's return al tho the repetition of Aug., unless pure coincid.ence, would seem to be an error in copying from the original record. Hrs. McMillan, in her ap plication, referred to a Bible and to Nell W. Sherman "Taliaferro-Tol iver Family Records." These may support the 1784 date of birth for Re becca which, if correct, eliminates her from Archibald B~ddell 1 s issue. However, among Taliaferro's issue by Rebecca were James B., Sara, and Elizabeth. Rebecca had an older brother James (was the R for Ruddell?), sisters Sarah and Elizabeth, and her mother was Elizabeth Ruddell. If b. 1784 she would have been 16 in 1800·, not too young certainly. If b. 1772, she would have been 28, perhaps a bit old for a first marriage; possibly, along the way, the 1774 baptismal date became 1784. The ques tion is moot but there seems reasonable doubt that she was Arch's. ,. p·. 19: Mary Ann Ruddell, #6-vii, was evidently the Mary Ruddell m. Franges Seibert (Sibert).

Eleanor Goare, perhaps Mary's dau. by her earlier mar. but more likely her niece; hence the ties between the two families must have been particularly close and there would have been an almost compelling urge for George to go along with Andrew to Ga., or to join him there· later. 6. p. 20: Ro}2inson Ruddell, #8-4, m.

However, in the Grant or Index, Book o, I was surprised and elated to find indexed the Last Will and Testament of Thomas· Davis who had m. Sarah Ruddell, #20 g.v. It was dated l Dec. 1829, pro. 8 and 9 Aug.--almost 135 years before I found it--and recorded 24 Aug. 1837 in Deed Bk. E p. 550-51.

At first glance, the second John Davis on p. 26 would seem to be the son John with a son Thomas, named as the gr.son and heir of old Thomas; however, this Thomas, s. of John, was but 14 years old in 1850 and, hence, not b. until after the will was made in 1829. There was no codicil, and nothing in the record, to show that the testator's intent was altered during his lifetim~. I have found no record of an older gr.son Thomas; he is not listed in the 1850 Pike Co. Census and may have moved away.Or he may have d. and, as sometimes happened, a later s. was also named Thomas. The Davis family was in Pike Co. by 1830 when that Census was taken. It listed only one John Davis who follo\.1ed immediately after 'rhomas; it is reasonable to presume them father and son. John was then 30-40 which is compatible with his age o:f58, sho-Ym in 1850, 20 years later;· and there was a son 10-15 who, I believe, was the s·. Thomas named in the will of Thomas, Sr. who d. 1837. In 1840 a John Davis 30-40 was __ listed again--an error certainly if it was the same John which it ·may not. have been; The male 10-15 in 1830 had advanced to 20-30; the l fem. 20-30 had ~tayed 20-30 with anadditional one that age, and the 1 fem. 30-40 was then 50-60. ;!.Qhn.Ji.!.._12avis was listed for the first time in 1840; his son, ae 5-10 was probably the Thomas tl. shown with him in 1850, ae l~, which wasn 1told enough. While it is definitely speculative, I am inclinea to accept the John, first listed in 1830, and ae 58, Fam. # 1025', in 1850 as the s. John who fathered Thomas-, the gr.son named in the will. This gr.~on ·1·homas ~ight have been the Thomas Da·;is from ?1o. listed for the 14th Dist. Lacross from St. Jos- -xli- eph, Mo.; in Eastern Indiana Pub. ao.

It should have been noted also that John Davis in 1 had l male and 2 females under 5, and 1 each 5-10, a matter of 5 children in 10 years. In the early records, enumerators were sometimes erratic in recording ages and, at times, the ages did notjibe from one enumeration to the next. Also, the listings did not necessarily indicate parents and their issue but, sometimes, included aunts, uncles and cousins, or others taken into the family to raise or support. Nevertheless, there seem to be too many inconsistencies for the John Davis family of 1830 to have been the same one for 1840. 10. p. 28: George Ruddell, #16, was in Capt.

One woman had been forced by the Ind ians to carry a copper kettle on herhead on the long journey; her hair never grew back. Huddle's Fort was about four miles from Cynthiana; the abandoned fort was later used by Charles Lair as a stockade for his mules.

Her report 18 Jan~ 1974 stated that she found no ~ife Ele~nor in the Deeds involving Andrew Ruddell; this ~as quite disappointing. She d~d find a Deed in Bk. 1ry in i.•1hich J:.ndre'\·J conveyed 9roperty to 3ohn Butler 1 7 in 1800; the pa:;es v.~ere very oi~. Apparently Andrei.•: 't.-Jrs in :: lkcs Co. before 1800, and the original convey8nce of land tc hi~ w2s not r:cor6- ed there--perhaus in another county. it is her conclusion that, in the -xlvii- absence of an Andrew Ruddell in the 1?90 Census Records of No. and So. Car., Pa. and Md., this man was the Andrew from Va. Georgia was settled by people from these~ states, and from Virginia, she wrote me. Other records have shown that the only other Andrew, #2-vii q.v., (Cornelius 1 son), was in Botetourt Co., Va. with his mother, Ingabo, in 1800. Copies of deeds Mrs. Herring sent me are generally not informative. How ever, Leannah Ruddell, for~erly Leannah Reviere, entered into a marriage contract ttwith her present husband, Andrew Ruddell," in Dec. 1808 to .protect her property. She appointed Alexander Pope of Wilkes Co. to be her trustee und~r this marriage settlement vice 1'Iicholas Lonp, dee I d. Dated 17 July iNo yr. shovm but probably 1809.

Ruddell was one of the witnesses. 1-'lrs. Herring questioned ,,,nether the name 11!1ounce" was cor rect; if it is·, it's the first time I 1 ve found it attached to a Ruddell. I'm inclined to accept it; it hardly seems likely that the name could have been misread for any of Andrew's presumed issue as given in David son, .QQ.!..£ll• It will be recalled that Cornelius Ruddell #2 was a broo in-law of Mounce Bird/Byrd and that, in his wtll, he named his brother George's #6 dau., .Ingabo--a Bird/Byrd name, as was Andrew. George #6 had a w., 1·1agdalena who was· probably a Bird. Might it be that this Mounce Ruddell was a younger son of Andrew, #21 9.U•, not mentioned in the records given in Davidson, Q~--9.ll•, and named at the behest of the presumed gr.father, George #6, for his bro.-in-lav1 l1Iounce Bird/Byrd? All the proof that this Andrew and George, found in Eilkes Co., Ga., are the son and father from Rockingham Co., Va., is purely negative-- in the absence of proof otherwise--but I firmly believe that they ~ere identical. · 18. p. 27, 44. The John Ruddell who served in the Army of the Republic of Texas, from his age and physical description, could not have been the John #14-3 nor ·was he the John Linn 11-25-6 who, it turns out was not b. then aliho, initially, it seemed reason2ble since his father, b. 179~, might well have had as. b. 1813.
