Hi, Charlotte, we have already written, but thought I'd answer online, haven't been on the forums for a while.I used to think Dennis was son of John, son of Ezekiel, but I now believe that Dennis is the son of John, Ezekiel's brother, who are sons of the first John Ruark and Mary Driskell.I had a time going from Rooks to Ruark as well.Dennis came out of Maryland as Ruark, and is shown that way on land records with his brother-in=law.He was Ruke on one census, Rook in another place, but eventually buried as Rooks.Names got spelled as they sounded sometimes, and way back, people were inconsistent, sometimes spelling it differently in the same document.Gene Rooks
