Hello, I am new to the list and am searching for any information on my gggrandfather, John RUCKMAN, Sr. Unfortunately, I do not have a lot of data on him before his move to Barbour and Harrison counties, West Virginia. I believe he was born in Highland County, VA on August 6, 1828 but I also think he may have lived in Rockingham County, VA before moving to West Virginia. He was close to the family of John and Elsie STEUART (STUART), who also moved to Barbour County, WV and John RUCKMAN lived with the Steuart family when he was 22 years old in Barbour County. He married Margaret Sarah CALLIHAN (CALLAHAN) who was the daughter of Alexander and Sarah (PICKENS) CALLIHAN. They made their home at Lost Creek (Racoon Run), WV near Clarksburg. John and Margaret were married in 1852 in Barbour Co. If anyone has anything on a John RUCKMAN, Margaret Sarah CALLIHAN or the John STEUART family, I would really love to know. I have been trying for over a year to find anything on John's parents or siblings, if any. Thank You!, Becky (Ruckman) Boggs
