Can anyone identify Ruth? Death certificate of her daughter, Elizabeth Whittington in Greene County, OH 1915 gives Billians as Ruth's maiden name.
Ruth married James Jeffries/Jefferson (born about 1786) probably about 1835-36. It may have been a second marriage for James.
Census information shows this family moved between Tennessee and Alabama, before going to Ohio, Indiana and back to Greene County, Ohio where Ruth died in 1887.
