Sarah Hutchison Ruble wife of James Ruble is not listed with the Borens in 1880 
and I have not as yet found her in any other household. She died in Oct. of 1887 
so she has either not moved to IL. Yet or something. This Uriel Boren has to be 
the one married to Eliza. I need to research the Colvins more because apparently 
both Uriel Boren and Eliza were married before.

Ruble Interview
 
John Rubel-John Ruble in Virginia 

The following information about our 1761 John Ruble is taken from answers to questions to John Ruble 
by J.P. Henry Surber in White oak 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.

Joseph Ruble son of John Ruble and Sarah Ann Coffman
John Ruble son of Balzer Ruble and Mary Surber. 

Joseph Ruble who makes his home in Newburg, Township, is one of those enterprising and useful men 
who names are familiar through the lenth and breadth of the communities in which they reside. 

Mr. Ruble's birth occurred in Highland County, Ohio August 13, 1826, being the second of in number of
 the ten children born to his parents, John and Sara Ann (Coffman) Ruble. His youth was passed in his 
native county and there he received his education and there learned the principles which have guided 
his prosperous life over the numerous shoals that too often beset the pathway through life. 

Our subjuect's father and mother both came from Pennsylvania when they are quite young and after 
their marriage settled in Highland County, Ohio, where they continued to reside until death came and 
claimed them. They were deeply religious people and took an active interest in promoting the religious 
and educational causes of the place in which they lived. 

After reaching manhood's estate, our , subject came to Pike County, in the spring of 1848, and on March 
7,.1851, he united in marriage with Miss Rebecca Ann Foreman, who like himself was a native of Highland
 County, her birth occuring January 22, 1834. To this union were born six children, viz. Martha J. who is 
the wife of Hiram Weaver, Rachel Ann, who married Miss Minnie E. Benson, and Rebecca, who is the wife 
of Frank Breitenbucher. Mrs. Rebecca A. Ruble died in this township, January 11, 1864, and her husband 
was married on May 12, 1864, to Miss Mary Ann Foreman, who was born in Highland County October 30, 
1830. They had two children, viz; Nellie, who died when eight years of age; and Tacie. 

The subject of our sketch is a popular man alike in business, political and social circles and has at different
 time been elected to hold offices of public trust and responsibility of no mean order. He was at one time 
Highway Commissioner and filled that office most satisfactorily both to himself and the community at large. 
He is a member of the Church of Christ, in which he has served as Deacon for a period of forty years. He 
is also much interested in educational matters and appreciates the vast importance of a good education for 
both boys and girls, in order that they may be fitted to take their places in the busy commercial world when 
a necessity for so doing presents itself. His agricultural duties consume the greater portion of his time and 
he devotes much attention to the cultivation of his land and also to keeping his residence and barns in good 
condition. His farm comprises forty acres.
