I'm looking for any information on the Ruffner family, and connections. Angus Ruffner - b. 17 December 1831 in Illinois - d. July 1913 - Lawrence Co., Arkansas Married 1st: Martha E. Brown b. 30 June 1838 - Tennessee - d. 22 April 1883 - They were married 30 November 1854 in Jackson Co., Arkansas. Angus Ruffner married a second time to: Sarah Janes Hughes - b. 13 November 1846 - South Carolina - d. 24 December 1907 - she is buried in the Ruffner Cemetery on the Roy Hughes Farm in Lawrence Co., Arkansas Angus and Sarah were married 13 September 1883 in Jackson Co., Arkansas. Sarah Jane Hughes Ruffner's mother was named Elizabeth W. (?) and was born in 1825 in SC/NC - she died after 1910 as she was found on that census - She was living in the Marion Twp, Lawrence Co., AR at that time with Angus Ruffner. Eliza W. was listed as Eliz. W. Huey, mother-in-law of Angus Ruffner. (Huey is the spelling on the census records) Angus was the post master at Alicia, Lawrence Co., Arkansas. from what I understand...this family was living in Swifton, Jackson Co. Arkansas which is near the town of Alicia, Lawrence Co., Arkansas. There were of Angus Ruffner's living in Jackson Co., AR also... William S. Ruffner who married Ada Harris. William S. Ruffner was born August 1861 and died 4 January 1942 in Newport (Jackson Co.? I am unfamiliar with the Arkansas towns) - William and Ada had three children; Harry, William and Paul Ruffner . If there is anyone with just "any" information on the RUFFNER's or the families of the BROWN, HUGHES & HARRIS families, please contact me. Just one name could help in my search for my family. Thanks, Kay Butcher
I am from Swifton, and have lived in Newport for the last 30 years. I do not recognize this name (which doesn't mean these people don't live here or never did). I just thought I would give you the benefit of my memory which is nothing as to the Ruffner family. Are there any other families which they married into especially in the Swifton area. Alicia is a very small town on the Jackson/Lawrence County border, and the next town from Swifton. When I last lived there, I lived a couple of miles from the Lawrence County line which is near Alicia.
