Ruggles, Richard, Berlin, Ceylon p. o., was born in Vermillion in 1827, and was a son of Hon. Judge Almon and Rhoda (Sprague) Ruggles.
She was a native of Vermont, and her husband, the judge, was born in Connecticut. They were married in Erie county. The judge died in 1840, and his wife in 1850. They had two sons: Charles and Richard. The judge had two daughters by a previous marriage: Rebecca, Mrs. Case; and Betsey, Mrs. Dr. Phillips. Rhoda left a family of three daughters, by a previous marriage.
Richard Ruggles is now the only surviving one of the family. He was married in 1848, to Elinor E. Post, who was born in Fitchville, Huron county. They have a family of six children: Almon, Frances, Charles, Ashbel, Lilian, who married S. L. Hill, and Nellie.
Judge Ruggles came to Erie county in 1805, and was in the employ of the Fireland surveyor, and in 1807 settled in this county as a general surveyor. In 1808 Judge Wright assisted him, and both became active agents for the various interests of eastern owners. Judge Ruggles purchased one mile square, which Richard now owns, and occupies a part. The judge was a prominent man in the county. The Ruggles grove and picnic grounds are among the most attractive picnic grounds in the county.
