I will start with Ruel ROARK b. 8 Jul 1806 in NC, d 29 Nov 1879 in IA or MO. Wife Judith ROBERSON b. 8 Jan 1810 in VA d. 11 Jan 1894 in IA or MO ( I have requested her death certificate from The state of IA and they could not find it) He moved through IL to NE Madison County in 1863. Several of Ruel's descendants are buried in Penn Center Cemetery, Madison County. I have been unable to find his parents, his place of death or grave. I am also working on tracing Ruel ROARK's descendants and I have information on over 175 of his descendants. I would like to communicate with anyone working on this family. Glenn York
