There is a claim from "The History of Henry County" in Virginia that refers to Ruth Stovall as a descendant of the first Earl of Shaftsbury. Her husband was Col. Abraham Penn. And her parents being listed as "George Stovall Jr. and "Mary Cooper". There is little to no information is to be found about this Mary Cooper. And nothing of a birth date except that in figuring it from Ruth Stovall's birth date 1743, Mary Cooper's may have been around 1715-1720. All ideas and or facts are welcomed.
