Notes

• it is not known for sure whether Ruth Fox ever came to America. She may not have. The first 3 children; John, Edmund, and Mary, apparently stayed behind in England.
• Davis (Wildes): "That her maiden name was Fox we learn from an entry in the diary of Dr. Bentley who states that he had seen papers in an old lawsuit by the Symonds son, James giving the names of his parents and their English home, and the expectation that he had of inheriting land in Norwich." (N.E. Hist. & Gen. Reg, 96:205)
• G.T.: He married first Ruth Fox (dau. of Daniel?).
