• Notes

  Note by Bob Young 10/11/99 I have Michael Ruttan possibly living common-law with Ann Freel (from 1819 Loughborough Census) and having Abraham & Christopher (b1818); because of the b-dates of the next 3 children, (1827, 1830 & 1831) I have thot' that there was another common-law wife involved at this time. Then comes Mary Ann Mountainee who comments on Michael's philandering ways on the birth of her son John S. (Feb. 1858): "He is the one lawful male child (of Michael) of which I am the mother....". They were married in Apr. 1858. (3 years b4 Michael dies) I have grouped under Mary Ann the following children: Charles E. (b1845), Cynthy B.(b1850), Mary Ann (b1853), and John S. (b2/1858). Harryette says she read somewhere on the net that the 2nd wife may have been "native." Have you heard this? It's a first for me. The only other possibility I can think of is that we have 2 other different Michaels and all 3 families have been confused due to lack of records. Just got off the phone with Al Ruttan in Ottawa. I asked him to look thru' his records for Charles E., but he has no other information. He also spoke with Henry Ruttan b4 he wrote "A Part of the Family of Ruttan"and they discussed "skeletons". Al said Henry was quite a "gentleman" and would have left out any scandalous stories about the people in the book. I gathered from Al's tone that he kind of leaned the same way.
