- Ruth was enslaved by Rebecca or Becky Twigg per a will of 4 Sep 1799 which states that Ruth was purchased from Thomas Turner of Madison County, Kentucky. Rebecca had two enslaved women listed in the 1810 census. She died in the 1820s and willed Ruth to Rebecca's daughter, Lurena. It is believed that Lurena married Samuel Stallings.
