Read More	The pioneer of the Ruggles family in Ohio was Joseph Ruggles, who was a resident of Belchertown, Mass., where he was known as a farmer and teamster. In pre-railroad days, when the express service between Boston and New York was founded, Joseph Ruggles established himself as a teamster on the route between Belchertown and Boston to points on the route, and farm products from such points to Boston. He was married at Belchertown to Miss Hannah Tillson, and four children were there born to them: Leonard, Summer and Benjamin (both deceased), and Henry. In 1818 the whole family set out for the West, and traveled in safety to Peru township, Huron Co., Ohio, where they located. As the father possessed but little means, he was unable to purchase a farm on coming here. Building a log cabin to shelter his family, he devoted himself to labor, and with his earnings purchased some land in Peru township, which he cleared and on which he resided until his death in June, 1846. His widow died three years later. The children born to these pioneers after their location in Huron county, Ohio, were: George (now deceased), who was a farmer in Peru township; Mary, who married Levi Ruggles (deceased); Nancy, widow of Jeff. Brown (now residing in Kansas City); Levi, who died in Arizona, while in the United States civil service, and Lyman, also deceased. Of all the children born to this pioneer couple, Henry, the subject of this sketch, and Nancy, of Kansas City Mo., are the only survivors.
