Biography
Ruth was born in 1644. Ruth Graves ... She passed away in 1720.
Research Notes
Ruth, wife of John York, probably not LNAB Graves. A prior version of the profile called her Ruth Graves, presumably due to a literal interpretation of the 1681 lawsuit settlement between John York and William Graves--John York is referred to the "son in law" of William Graves.[1][2][3] William Graves was then married to John York's mother, Elizabeth so that this identity seems otherwise and better interpreted, "step son."
