Rugh by his Uncle J.C. Rugh on Christmas 1916: & is as follows: Note I take great interest in my ancestry. Some persons I know hold that to be unnecessary & the height of vanity, but they usually have no ancestors for whom they care. The man who does not know who his great grandfather & grand [sic] grandmother were would naturally not care who they were" Rughs in America Having entertained for many years a desire to know more about my ancestry & believing my children would appreciate a genealogical history or record, I decided in the year 1881 to being this record. James C. Rugh Indiana Pa 1916. I examined the Records in Harrisburg, Pa showing the arrival of emigrants & found as following: Landed at Phila, Pa Sept 18, 1733 Ship Paletine Brigantine, Pennsylvania, Merchant of London, From Rotterdam, last from Plymouth John Sleadman, master In the list of passengers on this ship, I found the name Peter Rugh & the names John Jacob & Peter Rugh under sixteen years old. Also Aug 3, 1737 Ship Samuel Hugh Percy, master >From Rotterdam, last from Cowes 312 passengers in all. The name Christian Rugh is recorded in this list. In the Pennsylvania Records at Harrisburg, I found the following: Monday Dec 24, 1780 His Excellency William Morris, President resolved that Michael Rugh be appointed Coroner of Westmoreland County." In 1881, I visited Westmoreland Co for the purpose of obtaining information on the ancestral subject & met Mrs Hannah Rugh Rowe, a cousin of my grandfather Rugh. She was then 88 yrs old, very intelligent & in full possession of her mental faculties. (She lived to the age of 93 years). She told me that her great grandfather came from Holland to Lehigh Co Penna that her grandfather Michael Rugh married Anna Frances Markle a daughter of General Christopher (it was Christian ) Markle & his wife Anna Jemima Wertz (also from Holland). They located in Westmoreland Co, Pa on a tract of land a part of which is now occupied by a portion of the present site of Greensburg, the County seat of said county. The records of Westnd Co show that Michael Rugh was one of the commissioners of that county. That he superintended the erection of the first court house & jail in that county which were erected in the year 1786. Old For Rugh that was located on his farm, south of Greensburgh, was built by him. It was to this Fort that he (who was then a purchasing agent of supplies for the Government troops) came to report the capture & destruction of Hannastown a few miles distant by Indians. His son Michael & his wife & three children were captured by Indians. They were taken to Quebec, separated & kept by different parties of Indians. Michael the father succeeded through the assistance of British military officers in finding his wife. Their daughter Mary was discovered later with some Indians who came in to trade. Her face & arms were stained to conceal her natural color. The sum of ten dollars was required in each case for the release of the prisoners. One of the boys died while in captivity. The family returned to Westnd Co. Michael was elected to the Legislature later. He made the trips to Harrisburg & return on horseback. Michael Rugh married Anna Frances Markle daughter of Christian Markle & his wife Anna Jemima Wertz. [children] Michael Rugh married Elizabeth Raymer now spelled Reamer.
