Ruth Moore was born a native of Pennsylvania, and having moved to Belmont County with her parents, met and soon married Timothy Bates there on February 4, 1804.

The following year, they moved to (what is now) Seneca Township (Section 24) along with Timothy's brother, Isaac, and his wife, Catherine (Caty) who was Ruth's sister. They were among only a handful of settlers to develop their land, in the middle of country that was largely inhabited by Native Americans.

They reared a large family. The names of their children were Susan (Rucker), living; Polly (Rucker), living; Abigail (Stotts), deceased; Bethel, living; Lovina (Danford), Luana (Kent), Barna, deceased; Anna (Moore), living; Ruth (Bowersock), deceased; Timothy, living; and Lafayette, Elizabeth and Nancy (Hague), deceased.
