Hi Pat, I didn't find a death for James listed. For some reason, only 2 deaths in 1869 are listed in the "R" surname section. I guess back then, notifying anyone of a death in the family wasn't required. Maybe he died in one of the neighboring counties. I did find some deaths for you. I'm not sure if I have sent them before. "Death Records of Highland County, Ohio 1867-1908" RUBLE, Daniel T., single, d. 1-18-1877 in Salem Twp., age 29-7-18, b. Dodson Twp.

He just gives me a funny look and rolls his eyes. Yolanda _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Bobbi [email protected] Rubel-John Ruble inVirginia The following information about our 1761 John Ruble is taken from answers to questions to John Ruble by J.P. Henry Surber in Whiteoak Township, Highland County, Ohio, June 21, 1833. I have condensed the two pages of questions and answers somewhat for those who might not be able to read the copy of the Pension application in the Appendix.) John Ruble was born in Shanandoah County in 1761. In September 1777 he was drafted for three months service in the Virginia Militia. Under Capt. Anthony Rader's command he marched to the headwaters of the Greenbrier River to Fort Work to protect the people from attack by the hostile Indians. (Headwaters of the Greenbrier River are in or near Monroe County, Virginia = Now West Virginia) " I was frequently sent out by my Captain as a spy against the Indians. In performing this duty as a spy, I ranged through the country in the neighborhood of Fort Work. I was discharged at the end of the three months and returned to Rockingham County." "In July 1778 I was again drafted for the Virginia Militia to serve against the Indians under Capt. Abram Linkhorn, which company belonged to the regiment commanded by Col. Benjamin Harrison. I was marched to a point on the Ohio River about fifty miles below Fort Pitt where I joined General McIntosh service. At that point during a month I helped build Fort McIntosh. I was then marched to the headquarters of the Tuscrawas River in the Northwet Territory in pursuit of hostile indians. There I helped build Fort Senuance. (Massilon=Canton, Ohio area.) I remained there several weeks during which time General McIntosh made a treaty with the indians. I served four months during this period. I was discharged and returned to Rockingham County." "In August 1781 I was again drafted and served under Capt.Bags in Col. Darke's Regiment. I was marched to Yorktown which was occupied by the British Army under General Cornwallis. We joined General Washington before Yorktown. I remained in active service before said town until 3 days before the surrender of Cornwallis. I received my discharge and returned to Rockingham County, Virginia." He also stated that he lived in Rockingham County about 20 years. Moved to Shanadoah, Va. Lived there a few years, then to Augusta County for 7 years, when I moved to Monroe County, Virginia. Just when John arrived in Monroe County is not known/ (Albertine (Aunt Tine) Ruble Louderback, daughter of John P. Ruble furnished the following information.) John Ruble born 1761 died 1839 in Highland County Ohio married Sarah Ballard Children 2-1-William 2-2-John, Jr.-married Isabella Snodgrass 2-3-Andrew -married Rebecca Clark 3-1-John P. Ruble son of Andrew and Rebecca Clark Ruble 4-1-Albertine daughter of John P. Ruble and Jemima Stout 2-4-James married Sarah Hutchison 2-5-George Albertine (Aunt Tine) Aunt Tine wrote " Grandfather Ruble's name was Andrew, his father's name was John Ruble born in old Virginia. His wife a Ballard. Grandmother Rubles name was Rebecca Clark, daughter of John Clark. Rebecca's mother was a Cunningham. She was born in Monroe County, West Virginia. Aunt Tine also added that Andrew had four brothers. James, William, Jack(John Jr.) and George Monroe County, West Virginia records show the following: 1. John Ruble , Jr. married Isabella Snodgrass Oct. 10, 1810 2. James Ruble married Sarah Hutchison Jan. 19, 1813 3. John Ruble and his wife Sarah sold 200 acres of land on Turkey Creek to Goerge Barne on Sept. 21, 1821. This is all that I know about the history of the 1761 John Ruble in Virginia. At this time a genealogist in Winchester, Virginia, is still searching for information regarding John and his relationship to George and Ulrick Rubel.
