Becareful as not all Ruroede's are Ruroede's but may be variations of other names. My ancestor's are all from Randolph County, but Immigrated to New Orleans and came up the Mississippi. I don't even know how they spell there name in Germany as it's spelled many ways on the ship records to the land records even in the same document.

The name eventually became Rury, but many times spelled Rurode, Ruroede, Rurverde, Rurade, Rurede, Ruhrede, Rurehde. They spoke German, so it was spelled phonetically when written, so try different spellings. I didn't find your Ruroede, but if you run across some that aren't your branch let me know they might be mine.
