      John Henry Ruff, b. 12 Aug 1773, d. 25 Dec 1835, m. 18 Sept 1792, Elizabeth Summer. In 1793 he and his wife were given the Felix Bousard grant on Cannons Cr. by fatherinlaw, John Adam Summer (Nby Deeds B420). This tract contained 2 mills and was shown as site

      of Ruff's mill on Robert Mills' map. In the same year he bought from George Martin the 100 acre survey of 1772 to John Lum on Reedy Cr., and was given the store on this property by his father, George Ruff (Nby Deeds B419). Ruff's house was near the store and which tract was also a likely site of Ruff's Meeting House, a forerunner of Bethlehem Lutheran Church. John Henry Ruff had a large tract, surveyed 1811, which was on the LexingtonNewberry Co. line and contained Little Mountain, formerly know as Ruff's mountain.
