===Ancestry=== Ruffin's parents were both natives of Mississippi. His father, Eli, worked as a truck driver at numerous lumber mills, and his mother, Ophelia, worked out of their home. Eli's parents had moved from [[Alabama]] to Mississippi, because of the harsh circumstances of living after the [[American Civil War]]. Prior to living in Alabama, David Ruffin's great-grandparents, John and Clara Ruffin, had moved from [[Bertie County, North Carolina]]. John Ruffin was a Civil War Veteran, fighting with the 14th United States Colored Heavy [[Artillery]] Regiment.
