SUEL---it took me so long to get back because for unknown reasons I didnt get a reply
notice from this site.
I am very interrested in how you know that Ann/Anna Lee Ruckman is of the house of virgina
lee's.
An older man in my family said the same thing but he cant back it. And I cant find the
info anywhere online. He thinks Ann Lee Ruckman's maternal grandparents were Henry Lee
and Lucy Gyrmes (Sara's parents).
Is there any proof of this? Im at a 100% stand still in that line of family research since
I cant prove Sara Lee's parents.
Wanna hear something funny? Since it is a fairly small population here in whitley county
Indiana, where Anna Lee Ruckan lived and died, there are lots of distant cousins. The
Ruckman, Garrisons, Egolfs all seem to be related. Well because of all this 2 of my
sibling's adult children married their distant cousins without realizing it. Once my
mom found out their spouses grandparents names she knew that they married cousins. I think
that is a common thing in this county with out folks knowing it. It doesnt matter since
they are distant cousins but it is still funny in a creepy way. Im glad my husband came
from another state so we could add some new blood into the gene pool around here! LOL.
