General Notes: Husband - Col. James Ruple

---

He was about six years old when he came to Washington County, Pennsylvania, with his father. He received a fair educational training at the subscription schools of the period, and learned the trade of carpenter and joiner, which he followed in Washington County. Some years before his death he commenced the manufacturing of brick, and continued the business until the year before his death.
He served in the War of 1812-15, as adjutant of a Pennsylvania regiment, and was assigned to service on the Niagara frontier, but his health becoming impaired, and his regiment having disbanded, he returned home. In 1814, when the city of Baltimore was attacked by the British, he set out to aid in its defense in command of a company, but before reaching his destination was recalled, together with the rest of the forces from Washington County. After the close of this war he was promoted to colonel in the uniformed militia, and commanded a regiment for many years. In his political preferences he was a Jackson Democrat. From 1817 to 1820 he served as coroner. From 1828 to 1835, and from 1839 to 1842, he was clerk of the county courts.
