• Notes

  [Are George W. Ruland and Daniel Ruland brothers? In the 1860 census, the George W. Ruland family was living adjacent or nearby to Daniel's wife, Jane, and her children. After Daniel's death (not proved), he may have inherited part of the farm from Daniel (probably shared with Jane, as she had real estate in 1860 valued at half the value of Daniel's holdings in 1850). George W. may have moved his family to the Fire Place holdings and taken up residence. For the purposes of this collection, I have shown them to be brothers -- BUT IT IS FAR FROM PROVED. Interestingly, the Ruland farm does not appear on either the 1858 or 1873 maps of the Hamlet.]
