Individual Details

Ruth is thought to be the brother of John Marshall, of Boston, who was a bricklayer and probably born in Scotland. It has been thought that she was the daughter of Edmund and Millicent Marshall of England, but that seems to have been disproved. It is now generally agreed that she is the daughter of John Marshall and Mary Parmenter.
