Surnames: Ruark/Rooks
My Ruarks were from Maryland by way of James Ruark of Ireland.  They settled in GA in early 1800's.  My great grandfather was William Jack Rooks (they changed the spelling of the name).  Not sure if this will help.  Jim in Texas

Hi. I think your looking for Jerome Ruark 1905 born inGeorgia. Parents Felix Ruark and Nettie or Nellie is mom. Located in the 1910 census in Clark Co. GA Jerome is 5 and sister Ruby is 8.

Cannot locate Ruby or Jerome in the 1920 census with parents, who are in the Fulton Co Ga census plus son Harold 8 years old.

Located Jerome in the 1930 census in Hamilton Co., OH single, working as a truck driver.

Felix Ruark is a son of Joel Jackson Ruark and his 3rd wife Nancy Frances Brown of Greene Co., GA. Joel Ruark is my great-great grandfather by his 2nd wife Mary.

Hope this is the Jerome Ruark your are looking for.
Happy Searching.
