Biography

Ruth Andrews, daughter of Thomas Andrews and Elizabeth (Porter) Andrews, born in Milford, New Haven County, Connecticut, before 24 August 1690 (based on her baptism this date, First Congregational Church, Milford); died Derby, New Haven County, Connecticut, 27 December 1730, age 40; buried Old Derby Uptown Burying Ground (also known as the Colonial Cemetery), Derby; homemaker; married before 1725 (based on birth of first child), Joel Northrup.

A good photograph of Ruth's gravestone can be found at Oxford Past.

Research Notes

  • There is some disagreement on Ruth's date of death. Some sources state 1 (including her gravestone) or 6 December 1730. As her last child was born on 27 December 1730, it is likely Ruth died during or right after childbirth on this date.
