This Mary Ruggles appears to have incorrect parents. Please see: John William Linzee, "The History of Peter Parker and Sarah Ruggles of Roxbury, Mass" p. 218, where it is stated that her parents were John Ruggles & wife MARY GIBSON, which is a different John Ruggles. Probably her father was: Ruggles-29.
