Hi Gail,
I think we've corresponded before. The Sophia Ruckman whose information you are sharing is a cousin of my Sophia. David Little Ruckman had two older brothers who settled in Pike County, Ohio, James and John. Each brother had a daughter they named Sophia. In the 1830's James moved his family to Illinois; John remain in Pike County. John's daughter was at least ten years younger than the daughter of James.
I've made a lot of progress tracking down all the children of John, one of whom was my greatgrandmother. The only child I haven't found is Sophia. It's been quite a while since I have posted anything on John's family. It's probably time to do it again. There is much I have learned in the past two years.
