William Harvey Ruark

(1828 - )

Awaiting Picture

    I am currently working on the ancestors of William Harvey Ruark.  Some suggest that Daniel Ruark and Charity Hoffman are his parents while others suggest that James E. Ruark and Rachel Cropper are his parents.  I will find that answer if I have to make a trip to Lewis/Mason Counties in Kentucky.  Below are the children that William H. Ruark and Melinda Detro had together...

1.    Mary S. Ruark (1846 - )

2.    James R. Ruark  (1848 - )

3.    Martha Ruark  (March 17, 1845 - January 20, 1913)

6.    Sarah Elizabeth Ruark ( - )

7.    Laura Ruark ( - )

8.    George Lewis Ruark (May 17, 1861 - October 18, 1923)
