Biography
There seems to be a great amount of confusion about the Duggers and Ruth in particular.
Ruth was born Abt. 1745-1748 in Ashe, NC to William and Martha (Hopkins)
Dugger. We also know that from her husband Shadrach Estep's will dated 1801; that Ruth was still living and all children of their union are noted in Shad's will also, therefore any dates stating Ruth's death any earlier that 1801 are inaccurate.
There is no solid documents yet to be found as to when she passed on, many ancestry accounts and websites offer Shadrach's dates of birth & death as her own. To my knowledge; they were married in 1759 in North Carolina.

Hi everyone. I'm one of many descendants of Matoaka; but not through the lineages of John Rolfe's descendants. I come down from the lineage of Col. Thomas Pettus of Littleton near James City, VA who came here and married Ka-Okee daughter from Kuocom.
I'm going to be doing my best to untangle some of the Mystery in hopes of putting this did she or didn't she exist online argument to bed.
