About Ruth Hathaway
Ruth
- Birth: 1642 Massachusetts
- Death: Sep. 10, 1705 Bristol County, Massachusetts, USA
- Burial: Fox Cemetery Berkley, Bristol County, Massachusetts, USA
- Parents: Unknown
- Married: Christopher Dyer, John Hathaway (1629 - 1705)
Ruth, the widow of Christopher Dyer, was in 1692 living with her two young daughters, Mary and Ruth Dyer, at Braintree, Mass., where she was again married at the age of fifty-two to John Hathaway of Taunton, Mass. The two daughters of Christopher and Ruth Dyer went with their mother to their new home in Taunton, and in time married there.
Mary Dyer married Samuel Talbot of Taunton in 1698, and Ruth Dyer married Benjamin Paul of Taunton about 1704.
A descendant of this Ruth Dyer, E. Paul, Esq., a lawyer of Minneapolis, Minn., in searching for the previous history of the widow Ruth Dyer of Braintree, found proof that she was the second wife of Christopher Dyer of Sheepscot, and that he had by his first wife a son William, who was the first settler at a place called Little Comfort in Bridgewater and Abington, Mass. Mr. Paul prepared a valuable paper, which he presented early in the last decade, concerning the Dyer-Talbot-Paul and other Taunton families, from which this paper is largely drawn. The original is now in the library of the Old Colony Historical Society of Taunton, of which Col. Seaver is the secretary.
