- BIOGRAPHY: While reading newspapers on microfilm, I came across this article which might be of interest to someone on this list. I am researching a family line of Sarah Nicoll, b. Ohio 3 Mar 1815 in Ohio and died in Moultrie or Cumberland County, Illinois in 1848. She married Michael Ruffner in Fairfield County, Ohio 18 Feb 1836. Michael and Sarah had five daughters, my great grandmother, Sarah M. Ruffner who married Rufus T. Jones 2 Jan 1867 in Effingham county, IL. I know nothing about my ggrandmother, Sarah Nicoll and would be most appreciative if this strikes a cord with someone reading this. The article below does not relate to my Nicoll as far as I can determine, but hope it will help someone else. Nancy GilesNICOL FAMILY HOLD REUNION AT HOME OF WILLIAM F.
