Cindy, Margaret was the daughter of Jonathan & Ruth (Ruse) Ruble. Margaret was born in 1843 in Clinton Co., Ohio & died 5 May 1898 in Jackson Twp., Wells Co., Indiana. Margaret is buried with her husband, John Beard, in Woodlawn Cemetary, Warren. I have nothing on Malissa Ann Ruse other than she married John Beard on 19 Aug. 1848 in Huntington Co., Indiana and apparently died prior to the 1850 Census.
I'd like to do more searching in the census records but am not sure which twps are involved. I know Salamonie Twp., Huntington is full of thses folks & I've looked there. What would the other Twps. in south Huntington be? Also I'd like to look in Wells & Blackford Counties. I think Jackson Twp in Wells adjoins Huntington, but what abt Blackford twps? My Kelly & Tharps were in Van Buren Twp in Grant co. My line is as follows: Ruth was the d/o Aaron Ruse & Ruth Phillips from VA. 1 Ruth Ruse b: Jun 10, 1811 Fairfield, Highland Co., OH d: Jul 18, 1880 New Corydon, Jay Co., IN .. +Christopher Bergen Tharp b: Feb 11, 1811 Owasco, Cayuga Co., NY m: Jan 15, 1833 Clinton Co., OH by Joseph Vanmater JP d: Mar 14, 1886 Geneva, Adams Co., IN Father: Jesse THARP Mother: Mary BERGEN 2 Aaron Ruse Tharp b: Jan 4, 1834 OH d: Dec 21, 1839 Hamilton Co., OH 2 James Tharp b: Apr 21, 1838 Butler or Hamilton Co., OH .. +Susan Swope b: 1855 KY m: Oldham Co., KY Father: Thomas SWOPE 2 George Rogers Tharp b: Nov 11, 1842 OH d: Bet. 1892 - 1900 .. +Lucinda Swope b: Sep 1850 KY m: Oldham Co., KY d: Aft. 1900 Father: Thomas SWOPE 2 Mary Bergen Tharp b: Sep 13, 1844 OH d: 1925 .. +William John Shaw b: May 1832 PA/OH m: Oct 15, 1861 Harrison Co., IN d: Jan 8, 1904 Laconia, Harrison Co., IN 2 Henry Clay Tharp b: Aug 21, 1846 KY .. +Susan b: 1853 OH 2 Elizabeth Ruth Tharp b: Oct 15, 1848 Bergen, Mercer Co., Ky d: May 14, 1915 Van Buren, Grant Co., IN .. +Jonathan David Kelly b: Dec 3, 1844 Carrol Co, OH m: Sep 30, 1868 Van Buren, Grant Co., IN d: Jul 22, 1918 Van Buren, Grant Co., IN Father: Justus KELLY Mother: Rebecca COURTRIGHT 2 Martha Tharp b: Apr 1, 1851 Bergen, Mercer Co., KY d: Aft. 1915 .. +David Torrence b: 1836 IN ****** Cindy Torres Owens [email protected] http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/o/w/e/Cindy-L-Owens/index.html
