( > one > record says they married in Rock Island, IL?) > children (RUGGLES): Deedee.....I checked my early Illinois marriage CD which contains Rock Island to 1850. No marriage exists on the cd for either Isaac Ruggles or your Catherine Crawford. Unless the marriage was missed....then they must have been married back in MA. ....so, I checked my MA marriage cd and discovered the following: I. D. Ruggles m. C. G. Crawford July 15, 1846 Worchester Co, Worchester MA. this is from town records.....so, officially, you should be able to get a copy of the marriage from the town clerk or county...however they do that back there. Note...another interesting marriage maybe for you from that CD is Draper Ruggles to Caroline Blake Dec 20, 1837 Westborough, Worchester. Hope the above help you in your searches.

I had ancestors from Ireland by the surname of Ferriter (spelled Ferritor, Farritor, etc) in the 1840s that left Ireland and arrived in Boston then went to Worcester, MA. Could or would you check your CD for that surname? I would really appreciate it. Audrey Annable Franklin ....so, I checked my MA marriage cd and discovered > the following: > > I. D. Ruggles m. C. G.
