I found 2 Ruth Jones in the 1870 United States Federal Census. Ruth Jones of Pine Grove, Warren, Pennsylvania and Ruth Jones of Berlin, Rensselaer, New York. So not knowing who is the right Ruth Jones I went and had a look in 1880 Census. I found the Ruth Jones of Warren, Pennsylvania was still alive in 1880 so it looks like Ruth Jones of Berlin, Rensselaer, New York is our best candidate so far.

Thank you for posting.. Ruth Jones was a sister of my husband's ancestor. She never married but according to census records lived with her widowed sister most of her adult life.
