Abraham Follett and his second wife, Ruth Foster, were married 15 Dec 1720 in Attleborough, Massachusetts (Attleborough, MA Vital Records, page 419). They had a daughter, Ruth Follett, who was born 22 Sep 1721 in Attleborough (Attleborough, MA Vital Records, page 118). It is widely stated that their daughter, Ruth Follett, married Noah Carpenter.

Noah Carpenter married Ruth Follett, 22 May 1727, in Attleborough (Attleborough, MA Vital Records, page 364). Clearly, Noah Carpenter did not marry Ruth Follett, the daughter of Abraham and Ruth Follett, as she would have been less than six years old. The marriage intentions make specific reference to Noah Carpenter's intended bride as being Mrs. Ruth Follett.

Noah Carpenter did not marry Ruth Follett, the daughter of Abraham and Ruth Follett. Noah Carpenter married Ruth (Foster) Follett, the widow of Abraham Follett.
