RING, MARY (Mary Durrant) -The William Ring who turned back to England in
1620 on the Speedwell with Robert Cushman (Bradford [Ford] 1: 145)
probably died later in Leiden. It was most likely his wife, Mary Ring,
who witnessed the betrothal of Samuel Terry in Leiden in 1614 (Dexter, p.
630), and she is probably the Mary Ring who arrived at Plymouth ca. 1629
with children Elizabeth, Susanna, and Andrew (John Insley Coddington,
"The Widow Mary Ring, of Plymouth, Mass., and Her Children," TAG 42:193).
?&. Coddington builds a tentative pedigree to show that William Ring
quite likely was the man of that name of Pettistree, County Suffolk, who
married at Ufford, County Suffolk, 21 May 1601 Mary Durrant of Ufford; a
daughter Elizabeth was baptized at Ufford 23 February 1602/03. Mary Ring
died at Plymouth 15 or 19 July 1631, and in her will she named her
daughters Elizabeth Deane and Susan Clark, her son-in-law Stephen Deane,
a child of Stephen and Elizabeth Deane, and her son Andrew Ring, who was
a minor. She named her friends Samuel Fuller and Thomas Blossom as
overseers of the will (MD 1:29); both Fuller and Blossom had been members
of the Leiden congregation. Son Andrew married (1) Deborah Hopkins
daughter of Mayflower passenger Stephen Hopkins and (2) Lettice ) Morton,
widow of John Morton. The children of Mary Ring's children are given in
Mr. Coddington's article.

Plymouth with her three children, Andrew, Susan, and Elizabeth, in 1629.
She is mentioned numerous times in Plymouth records as "widow Ring", but
it is doubtful that her late husband ever arrived in America. Soon after
the arrive of widow Ring in 1629, John and Robert Ring embarked from
England in the "Bevis" and are found in Salisbury as early as 1638.
