- Findagrave relates:
He married Catherine Eagan in County Roscommon, Ireland on July 25, 1835. They were the parents of James, born 1839; Daniel, born 1841; Mary, born 1847; and Charles, born 1849. His son James served as First Sergeant of Co. B, 18th Mass. Infantry.
The date of immigration to the United States is unknown, but occurred between 1847, which is after his daughter Mary was born in Montreal, and prior to October 25, 1849 when the youngest child Charles was born in Taunton, MA. George became a naturalized citizen of the U.S. sometime between 1856 and 1861 at the Taunton Court of Common Pleas.
George Ruby was a 45 year-old Machinist from Taunton, MA, when he enlisted in that city and was commissioned as a Captain on July 15, 1861. He was mustered on August 24, 1861 into the 18th Mass. Infantry into command of Company B, the Irish Company. He had seen long service as a Sergeant in the British Army and carried a deep sword wound on his face suffered during a campaign in India.
Capt. Ruby was engaged with his Regiment in 1862 at the siege of Yorktown, Second Bull Run, Antietam, Shepherdtown, and Fredericksburg.
He was killed at Fredericksburg on Dec. 13, 1862, while acting as a Field Officer, however his body was not immediately recovered following the battle and he's buried as an unknown Union soldier as a result.
