LVA Titled Files: Survey Report, The Ruddle Grave yard:
                  1936 Nov. 13
                  Research made by William Clay Sponaugle

Cemetery Location:  1 mile east of Vinton, Virginia, near the Bush and Ruddle 
                    Road #651, about one half mile north side on hill, and 
                    northeast of the Ruddle Home.
                    Roanoke Co., Virginia


DATE:

1776, earliest date of grave.

OWNERS:

Catherine Ruddle Sublett. (1936)

DESCRIPTION:

It is a private graveyard owned by Catherine Ruddle Sublett, a descendant of the 
early Ruddle settlers.  It is in a deplorable condition (1936).  No one is able 
to take care of it on account of financial as well as physical handicaps.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

On two tablets I found only the following dates: 1776, 1777, 1779, 1779

Then there is the following inscription on another stone:

In Memory of
Sarah
Wife of Richard Routt
Departed this life November 15, 1849
Aged 62 years, 2 months

The Routts were distant cousins to the Ruddles.  There are many other graves but 
nothing to indicate who they were or what they have been.  The Ruddle family was 
of German and  English ancestry.
