I will also contact one of James Ruston's(Brother of Dad's Ancestor Robert) relitives I know in Saskatoon Sask. To see if she Knows of any information about Sarah Ann Ruston and if she can shed any light on this for us.

Re: Ruston of Canada

lilirisheyes — 2008-10-03 22:44:13Z

Hi,
Thank you for the reply.This information is so interesting.

I know that my great great grandfather Abraham Ploof( also spelled Ploff & Plouffe)was born in 1835 in Dunham Quebec.He was the son of Louis & Amelia Colin LaLiberte- Plouffe.
I would like very much to learn when Abraham arrived in Vermont.I do know that the Ploofs lived and worked on a canal boat.This was handed down to his son Thurlow,my great grandfather.My grandmother, Thurlow's daughter, lived with her family on the "White Wing" until she was 18 years old.

But my main comcern is finding Sarah's true identity.Maybe an obituary,a family bible,old news paper articles with family gatherings,etc.

Re: Ruston of Canada

Rustyleadfoot1 — 2008-10-03 20:08:54Z

sorry what I meant was Sarah Ann Ruston's parents could have went to Vermount from their home in Canada to escape the termoil of politicts at the time between Upper and Lower Canada. Which meant if you were on the wrong side (loosing side) you might have been hanged for treason. So her parents went to United States and she was born there. I know that one of my Dad's ancestors brother had to get out of canada around 1835 the time of the conflect as I can only find information on only the two brothers here. James and Robert but I fond nother of George Ruston in Wellington or Peel Couonty Archives.

Hi,
You misunderstood me.My great great grandmother, Sarah Ann Ruston was born in 1839 in Charlotte,Vermont.Either her birth parents or her step parents were both born in Canada.

But there still could be a connection.If any of your Sarah's married a man by the name of Abraham Ploff (Ploof)??

Thanks.

Re: Ruston of Canada

Rustyleadfoot1 — 2008-10-02 18:40:15Z

Well then is she was born in Canada than she would be a sibling of one of the three brothers that came to here to farm which it could be James, George or Robert( My father great Grandfather) Ruston. During the 1830's there was a rebellion in Canada over politics and some had to flee to United States of America because they were on the wrong side of the disbute for fear of their life. As I have found there are a lot of Sarah's and Ann's mixed thoughout my family tree they are a very prominant name for girls in the family I have 6 sarah's 5 Sara's and 8 Ann's. just in the ones I have found and it is only my immidiate tree and family there are probably more in the siblings of my family tree out there.

Re: RICHARD RUSTON

Rustyleadfoot1 — 2008-10-02 18:24:43Z

My Richard Ruston's parents were George and Sarah(Shephard) Ruston were settled in Old Malton Yorkshire England.I have not found out the month only a year was given. I will continue my search to see if I can find a connection. Richards Grandparents were George and Mary (Banks) Ruston I have a list of their children but but not of any siblings from their children other than my own tree as of yet. Your Richard could be a grandchild of George and Marys's from one of their other children.
I find it increaseing harder to find out information back in the 1700s it is very time consuming finding just a small scrape of information at best. But I will trudge onward.
The motto on the coat of arms of the Ruston Family is To Have Patience and Endure. That is what I am doing. The Ruston name goes back to 1260 so I have another 500 years to search and then after that it would have been pernounced I.E. Philip de Ruston I found that name in 1146 records which is a Norman(French) way of pernouncing a sir name. Wish me luck!!!

Re: RICHARD RUSTON

@@llrich@pacbell.net — 2008-10-02 16:22:06Z

I truly have no other information about Richard Ruston's family other than that he married Mary. However, I think he was born in Chatteris, Chambridgeshire, England. Is that where your Richard Ruston was born? The date I have is April 18?

Re: Ruston of Canada

lilirisheyes — 2008-10-02 10:44:40Z

Hi,
Thank you for the reply.

I found in the 1880 census Sarah's parents were both from Canada.Not knowing if this met her birth parents-Ruston or the parents who brought her up-Zubar.

Re: RICHARD RUSTON

Rustyleadfoot1 — 2008-10-02 08:28:11Z

I have a Richard Ruston born 1808 When his three brothers George, James and Robert(my dad's Great great grandfather) came to Canada in early 1830's he left for America (USA) to seek his fortune.I haven't any other information other than that. The first five names you have as children are numeriously spread thoughtout my family tree though different generations. Do you have any information as to who Richards parents where back in England(UK) that would help to lock things down. It would be nice to find out your Richard Ruston and mine are the same. I would love that. Back 25 year ago I had someone call me from the United States of America saying he had traced the faily tree and that we were related though the family tree. I was not interested at the time being a very young man and now I wish I had and regrete it dearly. It is sad for me as I regreat my actions now.

Rustyleadfoot1 — 2008-10-02 07:58:20Z

No I have not had any luck in finding a Sarah Ann Ruston that was related to family in the Canadian clan on this side of the ocean.In tracing the Ruston name back to 1745 in UK I found there was a relative that went from UK in the very earily 1800's to USA and settled there and I have not found anything more about him after that. He might have been a relitive to Sarah Ann Ruston. As there have a lot of Sarah's and Ann's thought out the family tree. Do you have any information on Sarah Ann's Father's name?

Hi,
By any chance did any of the children of Richard & Mary Ruston get adopted out?

Thank you.

Hi,
Its been 5 years since I last spoke with you about the Ruston Family.Did you ever find a Sarah Ann Ruston(born abt. 1839 in Charlotte, Vermont) in your line? My great great grandmother married my great great grandfather Abraham Ploof on May 17,1858 in the state of Vermont.Sarah was adopted when she was a child and took the last name of Zubar.

Canada search

lilirisheyes — 2008-10-02 01:01:08Z

According to the census, my great great grandmother's parents were from Canada.Sarah Ann Ruston or perhaps Preston was born abt.1839 in Charlotte,Vermont.Adopted out as a child, Sarah took the last name Zubar.Sarah Ann Zubar married my great great grandfather Abraham Ploff(Ploof)on May 17, 1858 in state of Vermont by John Chase, Minister of the gospel.

Are there any Rustons or Prestons descendants that had ancestors from Canada that have Sarah Ann in their line.I'm searching for her parents & siblings.

Please do not email me direct.Thank you.

Re: Ruston's in Ontario, Canada

Hi Pepper,

I am researching the RUSTONs for my cousin by marriage, so I will have to check with him to see if there might be a possible connection with your Mom's family. My cousin's dad was named Kenneth Wesley RUSTON (b. 3 Nov. 1930), s/o Norman James RUSTON (b. 27 Apr 1900) who was the son of Richard James RUSTON (b. 19 Jun 1861), son of Moses RUSTON (b. 11 Feb 1837) & Mary/Martha PALMER, s/o Robert RUSTON (b.abt 12 Apr 1801 Old Malton, Yorkshire, England) & Mary SHORE (b. Ontario) who was the son of George RUSTON (b. abt. 28 Jan 1770 in Old Malton). His dad was also named George married to Mary BANKS(married 8 Aug 1767 in Old Malton).

George is a very common name right down through the generations of RUSTONs. As far as I can see from all of my research, at least four brothers did come to Canada settling in Wellington Co., Cardwell ?, Peel Co., York Co. and perhaps as far west as Essex Co.

Hope this helps a bit to see whether there is a connection. I will check with my cousin and if I find anything out then I will post it for you to see.

Re: Daniel Ruston

LoriCates28 — 2006-07-13 17:47:02Z

Hi Susan,

According to the 1912 obituary for Robert Ruston (a son of Edward), the family traveled by ship to New Orleans and then took a steamer up the Mississippi and Ohio rivers to Evansville. It says that they landed there on Christmas Eve, 1849, which is different than the date you have. Wonder which is correct?

Re: Daniel,Richard,Edward,Alfred,Farmer Ruston from Chatteris

LoriCates28 — 2006-07-13 17:37:01Z

Hi Susan,

My family is descended from the brother Edward you mention. I was born in Evansville and can provide lots of detail on that branch if you are interested. Much of it was provided to me by Warren Archer, another descendant of Edward who lives in Utah.

hello cousin Jude Moses was a brother of my fathers grandfather John Shore Ruston,. His father was Robert Ruston mother was Mary (Shore)Ruston. I have been looking for Moses's family for some time. All I knew was he settled in King Township and who he married Martha Palmer. Norman, George and James were Moses's other Uncles that came to Canada along with his other father Robert who was my ancestor. Also Moses had other uncles that stayed in UK one was names Richard.

Re: Ruston Family History UK

Rustyleadfoot1 — 2008-07-19 04:50:47Z

I know there were 4 brothers emmagrated to Canada for land given to them for services rendered as a solder to the Crown. Three brothers were Robert ( my ancestor), James and George. I was not able to find our what the other brothers name was so it could have been Norman. Norman shows up in the family tree as a brother.
