RESPONSE:
Hello,

I think I know why, in part, he changed his name from WILLIFORD, Etc. to the
surname, RUTH. Here is a listing on the Clay Co. Marriage Index:

RUTH, Robert to SWAFFORD, Mary 13 Nov 1890, File 23

So, this explains where Nathan's wife went. As of the 1900
Clay Co., they appear as follows:

Dwelling 478-498
RUTH, Robert, head, b. 4-1870, 30, mar. 10 yrs, b. KY; parents b. VA - farmer
. .Mary, wife, b. 1-1862, 38, mar. 3 yrs, 3 born; 3 living, b. KY; parents
b. KY
. .Chester, son, 8, b. KY, b. 8-1891
. . Beverly, son, b. 3-1895, 5, b. KY
. .Daniel, son, b. 3-1895, 5, b. KY
WILFORD, Linda, stepdau, b. 5-1882, 18, single, b. KY; parents b. KY

Next dwelling:
Dwelling 478-498
RUTH, Thos., head, b. 7-1830, 69, mar. 33 yrs, b. VA; parents b. VA
. .Nancy, wife, b. 3-1844, 56, mar. 33 yrs, 8 born; 7 living, b. V, father
b. Va; mother b. KY
. .William, son, b. 9-1879, 20, single, b. KY
