The Ruark Families of Mason County, Kentucky

On this and the following pages, I've tried to avoid listing living people. If you see Descendants Living, that means the next generation has living people. I wanted to show which branches have continued to the present day, but at the same time preserve people's privacy.

If you see anything wrong here, or if you want anything added, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!


Two sons of Joseph Ruark, named Daniel and William, had both been born in Lewis County Kentucky, but raised their families in Mason County.

One of Daniel Ruark's sons, William Harvey Ruark, married Malinda Detroe. Most of their children were born in Mason County.
