I think this might be the connection for Ruth Horsley.

William W. Horsley ca. 1811 m. Catherine Zornes ca. 1814-1887, had following children: 1. Clarinda Horsley ca. 1832
m. Charles C. Hinton (they had son Charles C. Hinton ca.
1861)
2. Lucinda Horsley ca. 1835
3. Taylor Horsley ca. 1840
4. Sarah C. Horsley ca. 1842
5. Phillip Horsley ca. 1845 m. Violet (they had son John M. Horsley ca. 1868)
6. Delphia Horsley ca. 1847 m. Francis Marion Zornes b. ca. 1841
7. Rachiel Horsley ca. 1849
8. Martha Horsley ca. 1860
9. Thos. Horsley ca. 1869
10. Ruth Horsley ca. 1855
This is the most likely match for the Ruth you are looking for. If anyone knows what cem. these Horsley's are buried in or what area they lived at that would be most helpful to me. Thanks for your help.
