Research Notes:
We are researching the parents of Frederick Ruhl, spouse of Maria Elizabeth Bahn. We speculatively show Frederick as a son of this Peter Ruhl, although no documentation has been found to directly support the relationship.
Clement and Frederick Ruhl were plausibly related to each other, because Frederick, of Shrewsbury, and Johannes, of Codorus (perhaps the Johannes married to Helena Schenk?), Ruhl were named as guardians for the children of Clement when Clement died in 1777. See the notes of Clement for sources. We also show Johannes Ruhl, born 1739 and married to Helena Schenk, as a son of this couple, based on the guardianship relationship.
Another Ruhl family was reportedly from Waldgirmes, Germany. George Frederick Ruhl, born 1746, was reportedly a son of Johannes Wilhelm and Barbara Leper of Waldgirmes, Germany.
1748 Peter Rule, of Bucks County, died. His wife was named Christiana. His will was recorded in Philadelphia.
