David Ruffner, the third son of Joseph Ruffner who in turn, was the eldest son of Peter Ruffner of Shenandoah Co, VA.Joseph moved to Kanawha Co, VA (now WV) about 1796.
All of Joseph's children had been born in Shenandoah Co, VA.
David's daughter:
Susan B, b 14 Dec 1794, married Moses M. Fuqua of Kentucky.
That answers one question - you are a Virginia Ruffner as opposed to the Simon Ruffners, who are Pennsylvania Ruffners.
Susan's marriage happened in Charleston, Kanawha Co. VA
(West Virginia came into being 1863) They moved to Missouri.The only thing known was Susan's death 8 June 1818 and that they had a son "Nat"Moses sent a letter from Hannibal MO, to report Nat's death.
Susan was the daughter of David Ruffner, b18 Jan 1767, d 1 Feb 1843 married 23 Sep 1788, Lydia Ann Brumbach, b 11 Nov 1766.
David was the eldest son of Joseph Ruffner and Ann Heistand
Joseph was the eldest son of Peter Ruffner, born 25 Sep 1740, married 22 May 1764 Ann Heistand, b 15 Oct 1742
Peter Ruffner,born in the Canton of Zurich, Swiss Confederation about 1713, arrived in PA abt 1732, married Mary Steinman of Lancaster CoThey moved to what is now Page Co, VA (Shenandoah Co back then)abt 1737.
It would be very interesting to straighten out the Fuqua connection as we have so little information so far. There is a Ruffner Family Association. We are in hopes of publishing the genealogy of the Joseph Ruffner Branch sometime maybe in 2007.
I am Peter, Joseph, David, Henry, David Lewis, Joel Henry, Percy Laidley, Sally Lyle(me)
