== Biography ==
Ruth Bridges, who m. Robert Stiles, Jr., was doubtless dau. of Josiah (son of Edmund, the emigrant) and Ruth (Greenslip) Bridges, of Boxford .''' She was probably born at Ipswich, Mass., before the removal of her parents to Boxford. Perley's History of Boxford gives some account of Josiah Bridges, but does not mention Ruth in his list of Josiah's children, which may be explained as above.—M. S. P. G. Ruth, wife of Robert Stiles, was admitted to full communion, Mich. 4, 1704-5 {Boxford Ch. Records).
Robert Stiles Jr. son of Robert, was born at Rowley Village (which was incorporated as a town in 1686, under the name of Boxford), Mass., Nov. 15, 1675. According to Boxford Records, he was married to ''' Ruth Bridges, Nov. 10, 1699.
The land records of Lebanon, Conn., show that "Robert Stiles of Boxford, Essex county, Massachusetts Bay," purchased 200 acres of land for the sum of £100, in the year 1718. The town clerk of Lebanon who examined the records for information relating to Stiluses, remarks, concerning the lands purchased by Robert Stiles: "I do not find that he disposed of it by conveyance, and conclude that he must have died while still in possession of the land, and it must have descended to his heirs by will or distribution." From the town records of Hebron, Conn., we find that "Robert Stiles died on ye 25th day of February, 1720."
