The birth and death dates shown for Ruth are from the biography of her and Rans written by Nancy Green Brown. It says she was born in 1800 in Green Co., TN, but I am pretty sure that her father, Adonijah, had moved to Pulaski Co., TN by that time, and Ruth's older brother Adonijah, Jr. is supposed to have been born in Pulaski Co, KY in 1798. The LDS AF has an entry for Ruth Morgan which says she was born 1798 in Pulaski Co. and died Sept. 1844 in Johnson Co, Indiana, but I'm using the biography information. The following is from this same biography. Note it mistakenly calls her father Amaziah instead of Adonijah.

Ruth Morgan was born March 8, 1800 in Green County, Tenn. Her father, Amaziah was a member of the Kentucky legislature. Her eldest brother, General A. Morgan was in the state senate of Indiana for four years. Her next brother, Reverend Lewis Morgan, was a prominent man in the missionary Church. He was also a member of the Indiana legislature. General Thomas J. Morgan was her nephew. She was a grand niece of General Daniel Morgan of Revolutionary fame. Her parents moved to Somerset, Kentucky when she was a baby. She was of medium build, small hands and feet, a good form, black hair and sparkling black eyes. She was a home lady, loving mother, intelligent, and devoted Christian. Rans Bird Green and Ruth Morgan were married Oct. 5, 1817. Reverend Joel Matthews officiating near Somerset, Kentucky. Reverend Matthews being Rans Bird Green's uncle.
