I found some of my Rue cousins !

I've recently been chasing down a new branch of my tree... or maybe its up a branch?  Anyway!  It is the Rue family line. Here's what I knew prior to this bit of research:

Not a lot of data there.  So, I contacted a few of my DNA matches on Ancestry and got replies !!  One lives very close to me and one lives in Colorado.  Both were very sweet and graciously shared their genealogy data and some photos with me.  One REALLY filled out some holes in this line and added several ancestors to another, all the while telling me to be sure to check out his sources and make sure his conclusions are correct.  I seriously love how supportive and helpful most genealogists are to one another, freely sharing information and themselves with their new-found cousins!  It does a heart good to be part of this family of researchers!  Now, I'm off to verify the information and start adding it to my tree.  I will update with a new tree graphic post as soon as I get that done.
