Surnames: James Ruth in Boston 1850 Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/DaB.2ACE/2514.2515.2511.1 Message Board Post: I'm also looking for a James Ruth. He was married to Sarah Ruth from Ireland. They had their first child (Jennie Ruth) in Boston in 1851 and a son (James Ruth) in Ontario County, NY in 1852. I have not been able to find James on any federal 1850 census records for Boston. I've found Sarah and children on a state 1855 census record for Ontario County, NY. James must have passed away between 1850 and 1855. If you have any information on this James, I would be very excited to here from you. Thanks
