Thanks for the information! I have a relative that has some oral history on that side of the family and the name Ruth rings a bell, but I can't imagine it being the same one. I will follow up with her to see if she may know anything.
Do you happen to have a family tree that you could share with me? I can email you in private if you don't mind. Thanks!
