Peter Ruble was born in Codorus, York County, Pennsylvania, about 1744. He was a Sergeant in the Salisbury District Militia of North Carolina. He was married in 1770 to Catherine Wirt. They moved to Frederick County, Maryland, where he worked as a blacksmith and clockmaker, as stated in his first property purchase. Their children were:
Susan (1771-1771).
Jacob (1773-1813).
Barbara (1775-1823).
Henry A. (1776-1858).
Catherine (1778-1872).
John G. (1781-1842).
Magdalena (1783-1785).
Peter (1785-1841).
Elizabeth (1787-1829).
Mary J. (1790-1881).
Eve (1796-1880).
He was enumerated in the 1790 US Census in Frederick County, Maryland. He purchased land from 1780 through 1810 in Washington County, North Carolina (now Tennessee) and sold wheat to the Maryland government in 1782, Frederick County Maryland wheat certificate. He died in Washington County, Tennessee, in February 1837 and is buried in an unmarked grave in the Cherokee Cemetery.
During his lifetime, he was successful and acquired enough farmland to give his living children and the children of his deceased children farmland sufficient to support them. His son Jacob died at Fort George, Canada, in the War of 1812. His son Jesse enlisted with Jacob and was mustered out of service in 1817 at Fort Crawford, Illinois Territory.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
