    • In the household of Anne Ruckle, an 18 year old woman. Also in the house were Eveline Ruckle, 15, and Mary J Ruckle 10.

      William was a laborer in this house, and he lived there with his wife and their 3 children.

      Not sure how the Legg family knew the Ruckle family. Mrs. Ruckle died in 1848, her husband Rev. Ruckle died in 1849, leaving 3 daughters - the three daughters then apparently took in the Legg family as boarders and farm help.
      Witness Role: Resident: Name: Anne M. Ruckle
      Witness Role: The dwelling seems to be the Ruckle house, 3 orphaned daughters bringing the Legge family in as boarders and caretakers.
