Since that posting I have obtained more information from another descendant of Henrietta Ruby who was in possession of James & Henrietta's family bible.And information from another William & Margaret Ruby descendant who had their family bible.
In William & Margaret's bible, all their children are listed and then an entry, "Emily Ruby Mar 1, 1843, Our Granddaughter that we raised."You will first find her on the 1850 Census as a "twin" of Robert.I'm sure it was quite a scandal, as Henrietta would have been about 14 yrs old. We have no record or any idea of who Emily biological father would have been.Henrietta went onto to marry her cousin, James Ruby and have 13 more children.
After William's death, Emily went to live with Henrietta and James and is also listed in their family bible.
Emily married John Lutz, son of Joseph & Lydia Lutz in about 1864 and though she is my direct line I am still trying to confirm the names of her children.On the 1900 census she noted having had 5 children of which I have only accounted for 3 and one other possible one.
Would love to share info, I have a few George Bales names on my family tree, who was your grandfather married to?Please feel free to email me at [email protected]
