Frank, If Ruth and children were living with family of the same surname, they may not be indexed separately. If they were living with a family of a different surname, they should be indexed....as I understand it. I looked at all of the McPherson's indexed in Clinton Co and didn't see them. I searched all McPherson's and Ruth's b OH and saw no surnames similar to McPherson. This was the only Ruth in OH, but the age is wrong. MCPHERSON RUTH 65 F W OH OH HANCOCK MARION TWP 1870 she is living alone. Sorry I'm not able to find them for you.
