Biography

Elizabeth Ruffner was born on 4 March 1755 in Hawksville Creek, Shenandoah County, Virginia. She and Jacob Stover were married about 1775. She died in 1815, at age ~60, in Strasburg, Shenandoah, Virginia.
Her married name was Elizabeth Stover. According to David Ruffner, a reliable primary witness to the status of the original family, there were eight children born to Peter and Mary Ruffner, all born at Big Spring, the Hawksbill pioneer home. They were:

Joseph, born 1740 — Benjamin, born 1742 — Catharine, born 1744 — Peter, Jr., born 1746 — Reuben, born 1748 — Tobias, born 1752 — Elizabeth, born 1755 — Emanuel, born 1757. Elizabeth Ruffner

Elizabeth, the seventh child was born March 4, 1755. She married Jacob Stover, who was born about 1753 in Frederick County, Virginia. Elizabeth and Jacob lived in Stovertown, now known as Strasburg, Shenandoah County, Virginia. They raised a family of eight children.

Most of what is known about them is taken from information contained in Jacob’s 1816 will. Elizabeth was not mentioned in Jacob’s will, so it is presumed that she was deceased by that time. His will mentions the division of monies, land, slaves, and gives directions for the custodial care and guardianship of one of their daughters.

The children of Elizabeth and Jacob were:

Mary – Barbara – Catherine – Frainey – John – Joseph – Anna – Elizabeth

Jacob died in 1816, and as stated previously, Elizabeth probably died prior to her husband’s death. They are both very likely buried in the vicinity of Strasburg, but the location is unknown.

"A history of Rockingham county, Virginia"

On March 13, 1741-2, Adam Miller received from Gov-
ernor William Gooch a certificate of naturalization, which re-
cites that the said Miller had been a resident on the Shenan-
doah for the past fifteen years. This fixes the date of his
first settlement in 1726-7." In 1733, eight men, Adam Miller
being one, addressed Governor Gooch in a petition, pray-
ing him to confirm their title to 5000 acres of land in Mas-
sanutting, purchased about four years past for more than 400
pounds from Jacob Stover, reciting that they had moved upon
the said land from Pennsylvania immediately after the pur-
chase, and that they had located thereon at the time of the
petition nine plantations and 51 people.'^ This would fix the
date of settlement of the Massanutting colony in 1729 or 1730.

On June 17, 1730, Jacob Stover, a native of Switzerland,
was granted leave by the colonial council to take up 10,000
acres of land on the south fork of the Shenandoah, for the
settlement of himself and other Germans and Swiss whom
he proposed to bring thither within the next two years, the
said land to be laid off in such tracts as he should judge
fitting. '^ Stover selected his grant in two tracts, of 5000 acres
each, one along the river between the present Luray and
Eikton, the other along the same river, higher up, between

4. The certificate is in the possession of Adam Miller's great-great-
granddaughter, Miss Elizabeth B. Miller, of Eikton, Va. It was printed
in the William and Mary College Quarterly, October, 1900, and in Way-
land's "German Element," pages 37, 38, in 1907.

5. The full text of this petition may be found in Palmer's Calendar
of State Papers, Vol. I, pp. 219, 220, and in Wayland's "German Ele-
ment," pp. 35, 36. It bears no date, but the date has been conclusively
determined, by various circumstances, to be 1733.

OBITUARY.
Catherine Bushong was born in Shenandoah County, Virginia, April 17th,
1821. She was a daughter of Peter and Elizabeth Bushong. she was given to God
in covenant relations through the sacrament of Holy Baptism in her infancy and
at a more advanced age in life she was admitted to adult membership in the
Evangelical Lutheran church, by the right of confirmation. In the spring of
1859 she, in company with her father and other members of the family, left the
state of Virginia and located in Henry county, Indiana, where she spent the
remaining years of her natural life. Her life was a pattern of industry and
effort to do what she could, till disabled by old age and infirmity of both body
and mind. She led a quiet and peaceable life and was a devout member of the
church, the fellowship and communion of which, contributed much to her
enjoyment, until released from the earthly for for the heavenly. About the first
of last September she was placed in the German Baptist Home for the aged and
infirm, where she was kindly cared for with the ministry of love and mercy,
till finally released by the messenger of death. After a number of years of
failing health, she gently falls asleep in Jesus, February 26th 1906, aged 84
years, 10 months, and nine days. In her death she leaves, out of a family of

Charles "Charlie" Bushong was the son of Philip Bushong and Sarah Bushong from Shenandoah County, Virgiia. Charles was born in Henry County, Indiana. He died at the age of 9 years 6 months and 13 days when he was a horse he was leading, spooked, and killed him in the head, cracking his skull. I believe the death of his death is 30 April 1880. He did not die right away and the newspaper account was 7 May 1880. Burial is in Painter Cemetery, Henry County, Indiana. BUSHONG Charles B.
