Biography
Her name is Bridget on her birth record, Abegail on her marriage record, and Ruth on her death record. Contributor Charlene Patton tells me that "Ruth's name was Bridget Ruth Hosmer at birth but they dropped the Bridget. Nowhere do I see her name as Bridget Abigail or Abigail Bridget or Abigail Ruth. Ruth's mother was Abigail Wood Hosmer. This could be where the mistake comes from."
