Her first marriage was to a Ruble. I thought it was to Harry Ruble, not Benjamin Ruble, but I don't have any documentation for the Ruble connection. Her son was Harry E. Ruble, b. abt. 1874, which could be the confusion. I have her in the 1870 census as d/o Zachariah age 18. In 1880 she was married to Jerome Ellis age 51from NY with step son Harry E. Ruble age 6 living in Dillsboro. My grandmother was Estella Emma Mae Ellis b. 24-Dec-1892 and married John Valentine Schwing from Greendale. Jerome died 20-Mar-1900. Then Belle "changed" her birthday to May 11, 1860 and married a much younger William Wilson b. 9-Sep-1863 d. 15-Feb-1937 Any info on Belle and her husbands would be appreciated. Thanks, Greg
