You mention a Ruby. I am researching her line of TIBBETTS. In the list of children, I dont see her listed as Ruby. Which one of the names is hers? I am thinking it may be Mary, but not sure.

I did leave Ruby off the list...don't know how that happened, but she was born about 1824 in Ohio. Married Thomas Williams in 1840 in Portage County, Ohio and died in Michigan in the 1890s. We have not found a death record for her as yet. She had several children and most of their families settled in Michigan. If you think this is your Ruby, I can give you more information if you mail me direct at b . amburgey at att . net. (Note close all spaces and use the at symbol).
