[or-roots] Ruddell genealogy

[Steve & Ronda Howard]

Hi Nan,
Thanks for looking!  I would like to read Clarissa's story.  Stephen D Ruddell was my ggg grandfather.  Are any of the following names in the book:  Tyrus Himes, Helen Himes Ruddell, Emeline Holcomb or Charles Wenzell?
Thanks again,
Ronda

  John, Judy, Steve and Ronda,

  I've been reading this great book, "Conversations with Pioneer Women" by Fred Lockley, and while reading my email this morning decided to check it's index for your 'RUDDELL'  surname.  I found, Rigdon RUDELL, son of Stephen Douglas RUDELL of Missouri. Stephen D. was mentioned as having married the story teller's mother, Margaret STEWART WHITE, widow of William WHITE. The pioneer story teller, dau of William and Margaret was Clarissa Asineth WHITE DUNBAR. She is Rigdon's half-sister. There are more family names mentioned as well as neighbors and friends.

  If you are interested in Clarissa'a story or if any one else wishes a look up in the index (oh don't we love those indexes!), just ask, these stories are absolutely fantastic!

  Happy Hunting,

  Nan

  Surnames;  ARNESON, BROCKMAN, COFFIN, COLE, DIXON, FOSTER, HARDENBROOK, KELLER, LUCORE, MANN, ROUSE, STIMMEL, WILSON
