Hi Margaret; My Ruth line is Henry Ruth who was a Mennonite and he arrived in Philadelphia abt 1717. It is believed that he came from Southern Germany. Some believe that they came out of Switzerland and down into Southern Germany. Did you try too get Samuel's; Civil War pension records?? Might get a clue. Its been years since I have gotten any Pension records. The cost use to be about $7. It may have gone up by now? Did you look for a Will for his father or mother? Good luck Terry
