Heirs mentioned is his will:  Thomas Ruby, William Ruby Jr., Moses Ruby, Rachel Neely, Patience Neely, Charity Lytle and Charlotte Rogner.

Upon visiting the Butler County Courthouse in October 2002, the will mentioned above could not be found.  That information was obtained in notes posted at various message boards on the internet.  The clerk of the court did state that there were some records that disappeared, were microfiched again, and disappeared again and now the originals can not be located.  Perhaps those missing documents also include this will that has been mentioned on the internet.
