10 Generations of the Descendants CLAUDIN RUTTAN
FIRST GENERATION
1. Claudin RUTTAN Furrier was born about 1564 in Saint-Mihiel, Lorraine, France. Died about
1613 in Saint-Mihiel, Lorraine, France.
ORIGINS: "The Ruttan family were huguenots who fled from France after the massacre of St.
Bartholomew in 1572 and went to England, then back to Holland where they amassed a large
fortune." (Reaman, 1964 pp. 218-219).
ORIGINS: "Dumont, a Judge of Saint-Mihiel, author of Nobiliaraire de Saint-Mihiel, printed in
1864 at Nancy, quotes an earlier author, one Dom Pelletier, who wrote Nobiliiaire de Lorraine, as
placing the Rutants among the aristocratic families of France for over a century and as saying that
it had been indicated, probably without proof, that the family came from England. Dumont goes
on to say that the first of the name in Saint-Mihiel were of the middle class and were entirely
engaged in commerce where by there knowledge and energy they prospered. He suggests that the
first of the name could have been one Philippe who, in 1506, was a leading draper or cloth
merchant. Ferri, said to be a son of Philippe, had a son Jean, who had four sons, Nicolas, Jaques,
Jean, and Pierre. Dumont provides biographies of these four and of another member of the family
named Florentine, who were enobled by Charles III, Duke of Lorraine, between 1567 and 1599.
We are told by Dumont that Jean, in 1554, lent the Town of Saint-Mihiel fifty gold crowns to
present to the Duchess of Lorraine and that in 1589 the Abbe of Saint-Mihiel bought from Jaques
'quantities of Buckram and Silk and Gold thread' required by Abbe Merlin for uniforms for his
soldiers at the time of the Holy League. Many other Rutants are recorded as being appointed to
high civil and military positions. So far as the writer knows, no evidence has been found that
proves that the Rutans or Ruttans of America and Canada are direct descendants of the Rutants of
Lorraine. But in the final paragraph of his record of Florentine and his family, Dumont states that
it was often said that there were in Saint-Mihiel many other Rutants, nobelmen and commoners,
who had not been listed in his book for lack of certainty. He mentions one Blaise Rutant, by
profession a dealer in trimmings of lace and braid, who being unable to make a living in
Saint-Mihiel, obtained permission to move to Metz, which he did in 1608. Dumont adds, 'he was
a son of Claude.' Dumont closes by saying that, in 1636 other Rutants, descendants of Ferri, left
Saint-Mihiel in order to avoid persecution as Protestants. The earliest documented records of the
ancestors of the Rutan or Ruttan family of North america were found in the Saint-Mihiel civil
registers of the year 1590 where Claudin Ruttan, furrier, and Catherine, his wife, are recorded as
parents of Claude at his baptism on October 19, 1590." (Ruttan, 1986 pp.9-10).

permission to move to Metz, which he did in 1608. Dumont adds, 'he was a son of Claude.' ... and

Godfathers Abraham Boudat and Paul Cluien, godmothers Marie Bancelin and Susanne Pilon."
(Ruttan, 1986 p.7).
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: "While living in Metz, Abraham was a minor and no records of his
life there have been found. Probably about 1670, he went into Germany, as did many other
Huguenots, and settled in or near Mannheim in the Palantinate where he is believed to have
joined the Hasbrouck Party and journeyed with them via Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and England to
America, arriving in the town of Boston in early 1675.
Abraham, so far as is known, was the first and only of our name to have emigrated from Europe
to America in these times. The Hasbrouck Party sailed on to New York and travelled on,
reaching Ulster County in July 1675. They moved on to Esopus, the area around Kingston in
Ulster County on the west bank of the Hudson River, where, in 1677, New Paltz was founded.
Abraham settled there and the first record of him in America is as a sponsor, on October 14,
1679, at the baptism of a daughter of Peter Deyo, one of the "Douzaine" (the twelve families that
established New Paltz) at Kingston, New York. In 1680, the exact date not known, Abraham
married Marie Petilion (or Piteljon) who is believed to have come to America in the same group
as Abraham. Their children were amongst the first to be baptized in the French Church, which
had been established in 1683 at New Paltz.
On September 1, 1689, Abraham took the Oath of Allegiance to the English Crown. By indenture
dated October 26, 1699, Abraham bought a parcel of land and meadow in New Barbadoes in the
County of Essex in the Province of East New Jersey from Thomas Noell of the City of New
York, merchant, and Hannah, his wife. There he and Marie and likely some of their children
lived and it seemed prospered, until he died on May 19, 1713. Marie (Mary) died later that same
year. With the exception of a parcel of land that had been given to their eldest child, Daniel, and
some other small bequests, her will dated February 19, 1712 (or possibly 1713?) directed that her
estate be distributed in equal proportions amongst her children. While there is some disagreement
among researchers, it appears that Abraham and Marie had twelve children, the first five of
whom are recorded as being baptized in the French Church at New Paltz" (Ruttan, 1986 pp.
10-11).
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: "The first known of the Rutan family (in America) is one Abraham
Rutan who came to America from Platz-Loraine in 1677. Loraine at that time belonged to France
and it was on account of religious persecution that Rutan and a party of friends first went to
Manheim, Lower Pallalinate, Germany, from there to Holland and from there to America,
landing at Boston, Massachusetts, in 1677 and settling at New Platz, Ulster County, New York.
Abraham Rutan married Marie Patiljon who was supposed to have come from Lorraine with the
Rutan party. We have no record of her family, however, earlier than 1678 when Marie joined the
Dutch Reformed Church of New York City. The date of the marriage of Abraham Rutan and
Marie Patiljon is unknown. The earliest church records that we have are recorded in the Dutch
Reformed Church, New York City, when in 1860 Abraham Rutan was Godfather for Racheal,
the daughter of Abraham Hasbrouck, and also for Samuel, the son of Moses DeGrave." (From a

whose decendants now have them. Brant also peeled from a branch from a birch tree a piece of
bark and on it recorded the services rendered by Ruttan which the latter presented to the proper
authorities and was granted later that tract of land in Adolphustown that terminated on Ruttan's
Point. Both Peter and William held commissions in the British Army and when the war was over

Lieutenant of the Associated Loyalists. His older brother was Captain Peter Ruttan, who had

Margaret, were of that party." (Stuart Adams letter, July 21, 1991).
CHILDREN: "There first child, an infant, died on the trip from Montreal to Adolphustown."
(Stuart Adams letter, July 21, 1991).
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: "William also settled in Adolphustown, married and Irish girl,
Margaret Steele, who had crossed the ocean with her parents. In the hungry years of 1788 in
order to get some food William, who had some money saved from the sale of his commission,
sent two men to lbany during the winter months for four bushels of Indian corn which they
carried on their backs through forests without roads. As the Ruttans possessed a cow, her milk,
plus the precious corn, with roots and berries from the woods, provided enough nourishment to
keep eight persons alive until the following harvest." (Reaman, 1964 p.219).
RESIDENCE: "William took his two hundred acres immediately east of the Adolphustown
village site and Peter took his on a point of land northwest of the village." (Stuart, 1991 p?).
BIOGRAPHY: "Anyway, William Ruttan (Peter William and Henry 's father) seems to have
been a properous man, too, more prosperous than his older brother, Captain Peter. William and
Peter and Peter William's wife's mother Elizabeth Roblin, were amongst the twenty-two who paid
for the building of Upper Canada's first Episcopal Methodist Church, in 1792, at Hay Bay, near
Adolphustown. (Adams, 1991 p.5).
RELIGION: "William, however, joined St. Alban's Anglican Church, Adolphustown, when it
was built in 1822 and is buried in St. Alban's cemetery. He may, in fact, have played a part in
building the Anglican church and perhaps even donated the building site, since the church seems
to be about where William's land would have been. His converting to more respectable and
establishment Anglicanism was, and remains, a typical thing for a prospering Canadian to do but
I like to think that his conversion had something to do with the Methodist preacher's having
talked him into burning his beloved violin, telling him it was the Devil's instrument. Perhaps it
was his wife, Fanny, and her mother, the redoubtable Elizabeth Roblin, who had roped him into
Methodism and he later counter-rebelled, preferring music now to heaven later." (Adams, 1991
p.5).

Col. Henry or a grand-niece of Col. Peter or a grand-daughter of Col. William. And, you say,

watching him work at tailoring some clothes." (Adams, 1991 p.?).

OBITUARY: "Joseph Ruttan was born in Adolphustown, Canada, May 10, 1820, died in
Traverse City, September 1, 1906, aged 86 years 3 months and 22 days. He was married twice,
both wives having gone before him. He leaves eight children to morn his loss. four of the first
family, and four of the second. Two daughters of the first family reside in Canada and one son in
the state of Oregon, and one son in Sanilac County, one son and daughter in Pontiac, and two
sons Christopher and Joseph, reside here. Mr. Ruttan came to Sanilac in 1869, and there he
owned several farms. In April 1881, he moved to Dakota territory, now North and South Dakota
where he took up two claims, a homestead and a tree claim, which were very fine land, but he
was not satisfied, he wanted to be where there was timber and game. In September 1882 he
returned to Mescosta and April of the next year located in Clearwater township, where he resided
until 1898, when he became mentally deranged and in October was taken to the asylum at
Traverse City, where he died. He funeral was preached September 3, by rev. Richard Tower in
the Methodist Church, ripid City, and was largely attended. He was laid to rest in Clearwater
cemetery." (cited in Ruttan, 1991 p.?).
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: "The most complete single source of information available to us about
Joseph Ruttan is from his obituary. Joseph Ruttan's headstone at the Clearwater Township
Cemetery also carries the dates 1820-1906. Joseph's obituary identifies his birthplace as
Adolphustown, Ontario. Family tradition also refers to Bellville, Ontario as Joseph's birthplace.
He was a second generation descendent of one of the three loyalist brothers from New Jersey
who settled in Adolphustown, Ontario in the mid-1780's. We also have a limited amount of
information about Joseph Ruttan and his family from Huron County (Ontario), Sanilac County
(Michigan), Aurora County (South Dakota), and Kalkaska County (Michigan). The earliest
definitive information we have about Joseph is from the 1861 Canada Wast Census (Public
Archives of Canada, 1861 Canada West Census. Huron County, Turnburg Township,
Enumeration District 2, page 6, film C-1037). The Census shows a Jospeh Ruttan (age 41) and
his wife Susan (age 40). It lists his occupation as farmer and his religion as Methodist. Family
tradition locates the farm near teaswater. the Census indicates that the family lived in a log house.
Five children were listed: David Ruttan (16); Ruth Ann (14); Amos (11); Elizabeth (9); and
Hulda (6). There is some ambiguity about the names. Jospeh's oldest son James (1841 - ) who
would have been twenty years old is not mentioned. Ruth Ann's names is spelled Ruthann and is
listed as male. Hulda's name is spelled Huda and is also listed as male. The Turnbury Township
census also shows (page 11) a Samuel and Susan Walker with a daughter Elizabeth (age 19).
This is probably the Elizabeth Walker who became Joseph's second wife in 1864. There is a
family story about Joseph's marriage to Elizabeth. apparently the parents objected to the young
man that she planned to marry before the family emigrated from Ireland. when she was forced to
accept their wishes Elizabeth announced that she would marry the next man who asked her --
regardless of her parents wishes. When Joseph heard the story he asked her to marry him. She
accepted.

Ministry at the Divity School at Cobourg. Ordained deacon in 1844, he was appointed Assistant
Curate at Cobourg; the next year he was advanced to the Priesthood and served briefly at
Penetanguishine before becomming the first incumbent at St. George's Toronto, in November
1845. In 1848 he moved to Paris, Ontario and ministered there for seven years; thence via
Wellington, Hillier, Nottawasaaga, and Bradford, he moved to the Church of St. John's to plan
the long awaited new brick church and it was decided that a new church should be errected.
Collection of funds and pledges proceeded and specifications and estimates were called for; the
years 1892-93 saw the actual construction in progress and completed at a final outlay of $6,000.
The new brick building, accomodating 300 worshippers, was ready for use in June 1893. On
Saturday afternoon, June 10, there was a special opening service presided over by the Reverend
Charles with the assistance of the Reverend T. W. Patterson and others. At the Sunday morning
service next day, the Provost of Trinity College preached, and in the evening Reverend Charles
entered the pulpit on what was undoubtedly one of the happiest days of his life. The burden laid
upon him by a grave accident that befell his wife in 1895, coupled with the growing
responsibilities of the missions, made it necessary for him to depend increasingly on his
assistants. The Reverend Charles served St. John's in its new church until his death, after a long
illness, on October 23, 1900." (Ruttan 1986, p.44).

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: "The gentleman whose career is briefly outlined in the following
paragraphs is one of the leading farmers of Clearwater township, Kalkaska county, Michigan. He
was born in Canada on the 17th of January, 1867, and is the son of Joseph and Elizabeth
(Walker) Ruttan, the father a native of Canada and the mother of Ireland, the latter's death
occuring in Sanilac county, Michigan. The father came to Kalkaska county in April, 1885, and
settled in Clearwater township, where he has since made his home. Six children were born to that
union, the subject of this sketch being the third born. The latter was but an infant when his
parents removed to Sanilac county, Michigan, and he remained there until he was fifteen years
old, in the meantime receiving advantage of attendance at common schools. In 1885 he came to
Kalkaska county and has been a resident of Clearwater township since that time. He has always
followed agricultural pursuits and is now the owner of a fine farm of one hundred and sixty acres,
of which about eighty acres are in cultivation. Mr. ruttan has been a close reader and thinker and
gives careful and thoughtful attention to agriculture, as he doed to every enterprise to which he
has ever applied himself, the result being satisfactory return for his labor. His farm buildings are
all good, and his work is reduced to a minimum through the agency of improved and modern
methods of agriculture. His farming operations are diversified in their character, propert attention
being given to the particular crops for which certain soils and other conditions are adapted.
In Clearwater township, this county, on September 21, 1892, Mr. Ruttan was united in marriage
to Miss Minnie J. Dundas, the daughter of Seth and Jane Dundas, a sketch of whom appears
elsewhere in this volume. Mrs. Ruttan was born in this township on June 11, 1874. To this union
have been born the following children: Elizabeth Jane, Edith B., Ward W., Jessie M., George C.,
and Emerson J. In the true sense of the term Mr. Ruttan is a typical western man and a splendid
example of the sturdy class which he so well represents. He stands for progress and modern
ideas, keeps in close touch with the times, and his hospitality is as proverbial as his good nature,
all who come within the range of his influence bearing willing testimony to his standing as a
citizen. ("Biographical History of Northern Michigan" B.F. Bower and Co. 1905 p.518).

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: "Robert Anderson Ruttan, engaged in the real estate business in
Port Arthur, was born in Cobourg, Ontario, April 16, 1855. His parents, Henry Jones and
Margaret (Pringle) Ruttan, were natives of Canada and the father's people were United Empire
Loyalists who followed the British flag into Canada, settling in Northumberland early in the
nineteenth century. Henry J. Ruttan was for many years editor and proprietor of the Cobourg Star
and one of the early residents of that city.
At the usual age Robert A. Ruttan entered the public schools and afterward continued his studies
in the Collegiate Institute of Cobourg, but considered his education completed at the age of
sixteen years and entered business life in connection with newspaper work, which he followed in
Cobourg and in Ottawa for about three years. He was then appointed private secretary to George
Laidlaw, with whom he remained for eight years, and in 1881 he went to Winnipeg as private
secretary to Hon. John Norquay. After a short period he turned his attention to the real estate
business in Winnipeg in partnership with his brother, J. F. Ruttan, now deceased. In December,
1881, they opened an office in Port Arthur which Robert A. Ruttan now conducts. He was
afterward, however, appointed secretary of the Dominion lands commission and occupied that
position for about seventeen years, being stationed for eleven years in Winnipeg and for six years
in Edmonton, Alberta. In 1904 he made a permanent location in Port Arthur, where he is now
conducting a real estate office, having a liberal clientage, whereby he has been connected with
many important realty transfers in this locality. In addition to his other interests he is a director in
the Vigars Shear Lumber Company. Interested in all that pertains to the business development of
Port Arthur and its consequent growth and upbuilding, he is affiliated with the Board of Trade
and is now chairman of the industrial and transportation committee, in which connection he is
doing effective labor for the promotion of trade and commercial interests.
Mr. Ruttan was married in 1882 to Miss Nenon Armstrong, a daughter of William Armstrong,
the well-known artist of Toronto, and they have four children. In politics Mr. Ruttan is a
Conservative and his interest in the political questions and issues of the day leads to his active
and effective service for his party. At the present writing he is a member of the executive council
of the Conservative Association. His religious adherence is the Church of England and he is a
member of the Masonic fraternity, which finds in him a worthy exemplar of the craft. He is also
associated socially with the Manitoba Club of Winnipeg and the Port Arthur Club." ("History of
