• Notes

  Buried next to Elisabeth Ruth (I believe she is his wife) - see her bio for more information. The following is from Cemetery/Church records: Section A, Row 34, Plot 34 - RUTH, Frantz 12-13-1750 12-29-1808. Given name has been spelled several ways: Francis, Franz and Frantz. NOTE: Danielle Forestier pointed out that the gravestone actually is engraved with the month of death as October. "Inscription (German) ...Franz Ruth born 13 Dec., 1750, died 29 October, 1808... 57 yrs, 10 mo., 17 dys. (I can't read the opening sentiment in German, just born, died, spouse, etc.)" Contributor James Ruth (member #49426953) sent parental links, place of birth/death and the following information: Given name - Francis, Middle name - Maier, Nickname - Franz.
