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!
Ripley County was the home of William and Pricilla Ruark from around 1825 until at least 1839. After Priscilla's death William married Margaret Williams, and their first child was born here before they moved to Lawrence County, Missouri. William was born in Worcester Co., MD.
