In the early 1800's he and his wife Susannah established themselves on Moose Island, NS. They had four sons Isaiah, Noah, Arthur, Andrew, Benjamin, & Anthony. It was said that he was a cruel and hard man. Noah left the homestead as soon as he came of age(around 1840), settled in Sussex NB and then in Mineral NB (around 1870).It was Andrew and Arthur that were accused of murdering Capt. John Ruff, by their little brother Benjamin (in 1844), 2 years after Capt. John Ruff's death. A trail ensued and Andrew was found not guilty & Arthur, who had left the island was not heard from again. The story from my family is that Capt. John was killed by a felled tree while clearing land...murdered before the tree incident? No one will ever know. Ghost still lurking Moose Island?

Some ladies in the community all got together and made this happen for around 75 RUFF decendants at that time. They were treated to a family dinner, all provided by community residents, also a dance that evenning and several businesses took part in offering a special rate for the families. It turned out to be a very successful event. Most of RUFF'S family are from Plaster-Rock area of NB. :)<br />450RHINOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620767194396563774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-719303781594623039.post-88144920702183658002019-12-13T10:15:22.539-04:002019-12-13T10:15:22.539-04:00THET'S HORSESHIT.:)THET'S HORSESHIT.:)<br />450RHINOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620767194396563774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-719303781594623039.post-36540467479414610802019-12-12T11:13:33.522-04:002019-12-12T11:13:33.522-04:00Economy is heaven on Earth brother.
