Elizabeth Ruark born 1800 in NC to KY by 1819

Greetings! I am looking for information on Elizabeth Ruark b. 1800 in NC, d. 1853 in KY, married to Peyton Randall b. 1795 NC, d. 1875 in KY. They were in KY by 1819 because their daughter Mary C. Randall was born in 1819 in KY (or so I believe, anyway). Mary married Josiah Junior Claunch. Any information that you can give me such as parents, siblings, etc. will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
Michael

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.
