I found Ruth and her siblings on the 1850 U. S. Census. They are living with the Farmer family in District Noll of Marion County (dwelling 835) (family #859). Here, Mary Farmer, 39, is the wife. I wonder if she was previously Mary Tune and we are looking at a "Brady Bunch" scenario. The Farmer children and the Tune children overlap in age as if two distinct families were thrown together, though they are listed separately by last name. I guess the 1850 census didn't indicate relationship to the head (like SSon and SDau)
