Karin,
I have four children listed for John Thatcher and Margaret Peggy Troutner:
1. Elizabeth Thatcher m. 1853, Van Wert Co, OH, Frederick S. Roop (2
daughters)
2. John (spouse unknown)
3. Margaret Ann m. 1859, Van Wert Co, OH, the same Frederick S. Roop (9
children)
4. James W. (b. c1848) -- possible husband of Isellelle Ruby (brother of
John) The ages match
Margaret Roop Ruby's brother, John Roop, m. Elizabeth Ruby, d/o Thomas H.
and Mary Ruby. I can't find the connection between these two Ruby families,
unless John Ruby m. Margaret Roop is John Van Buren Ruby and Isellelle is
Isabel??? Again the ages and birth places are about right and it would
solve the problem of two unrelated Ruby families in this area. Sure looks
like a match to me, unless someone has some conflicting information.
In the 1850 census Van Wert Co, OH ---Sept 2, 1850 Willshire Twp.;
375/394 Ruby
Thomas 38 male Md. Labor ng ( property)
Mary 40 female Pa.
George 19 male Oh attends school
Elizabeth 17 female Oh all school age attend school
Rebecca 15 female Oh
Catherine 12 female Oh
John Van Buren 10 male Oh
Isabel 8 female Oh
Susanna 6 female Oh
Elmira 3 female Oh
The Troutners and Thatchers also have a couple of marriages to our Roops,
but that starts getting real complicated.

First of all, I noticed that Margaret Roop Ruby had a brother, Frederick
who married a Elizabeth Thatcher, dau of John Thatcher & Marg. Perhaps
this sister of John Ruby, Isillelle, was married to a brother of Elizabeth
Thatcher????
Looked in Adams Co, especially at neighbors of John Ruby for maybe his
parents. There are no other Ruby's in Adams Co, however there was a James
Thatcher, age 31, says single, born Ohio living with Elizabeth McFeters
(apparently widowed with children) in the same St. Mary's Township, Adams
Co . Maybe he is her ex???
