Michael,
This is your cousin Vicki. I've been digging into the
Ruark and
McHargue lines recently. This is what I have to date. Timothy
Ruark and Sarah
McHargue were the parents of Elizabeth
Ruark Randall/Randolph.
Timothy
Ruark, Jr. born>1767 Maryland; death>bef. Feb. 20, 1843
Pulaski Co., KY Timothy's father was Timothy
Ruark born>abt. 1745 death>Sept. 05, 1797.
Sarah
McHargue, born> 1769 Maryland; death>1841
Pulaski Co., KY. (One source through a message board indicated that they were buried in a Randall Cemetery in
Pulaski Co., KY.) Sarah's parents were John
McHargue and Mary
Magill.
Tim and Sarah had 3 daughters: Elizabeth, Sarah, and Nancy B. Ruark. Sarah was born in 1811 and Nancy in 1818. Sarah married Hazel
Phelps. Apparently to census data Nancy never married and lived with her sister and brother-in-law after the death of her father. I have read that Timothy
Ruark, Jr. also had a son by another woman or at least he assumed responsibility for the boy after the mother died.
I have pieced this together from various messages that I have read on the board and e-mail information sent to me from another descendant. I have not had time to personally verify information through documents. But I have seen some
Pulaski Co., KY land deeds of Tim
Ruark posted on the net.
