Notes for RUTH J. DURHAM:
1870 and 1880 - see father John Durham's listings.
1900, 1910, and 1920 - see husband John Durham's listings.

Ruth's birthplace is given as Delaware in the census listings with her father. It is reported as Michigan in the listings with her husband and in her death certificate (respondent: husband John Durham). The record in these files is Delaware, based on the genealogical principle that the data closest to the event itself tends to be the most accurate. No other evidence has been found to indicate that Ruth and/or her parents were in Michigan at any time.

Note also that the census records in 1900 and 1910 report that Ruth had three childrin, all three living. Only Alonzo is present in 1900 with Ruth and John, though they were married for only fourteen years. Either this is innaccurate or it leaves the possibility that Ruth had two children by a different partner before she married John Durham at age 22.
