The names that you mention relate directly to the oral history of my grandfather Regis Ruffner. He stated that the Ruffner family were farmers, devout Catholics, from Westmorland County. Their names were always Simon, Peter, Regis, James, Carl- the male names. The Pittsburgh family moved to the city in the late 1880's. We unfortunately know very little about the generation before my grandfather. Very few persons cared about this history.
Do you know if your family recalls relatives living in the Lawrenceville section of Pittsburgh?
