Biography
Philip Jacob RUCH was born in Gumbrechtshoffen, Northern Alsace (now France) about 1715. He became a Shepherd on the sheep-farm of the Lord of Gumbrechtshoffen.
In 1741 he married Anna Barbara BENE. Her father, Melchior BENE, was the magistrate at Griesbach. She certainly did live there with her parents and it may well have been her birthplace.
Philip and Anna Barbara apparently had ten children, one was Philip Georg, born on May 5, 1757. They moved from Gumbrechtshoffen to Longensoultzbach about 1761. Sometime after 1773 they may have lived at Niederbronn. These are all relatively small villages in the Northern Alsace area.
-- Phil Knox
Oddly Phil Knox's online database on Rootsweb gives Phllip Jacob's birth date as 11 Oct 1722. More research is needed.
