Ruth Stanley's mother, Elizabeth Uridge Stanley, died in 1632 when Ruth was
six years old. Three years later her father, along with two of his
brothers, embarqed on a voyage to the New World. Her father and younger
brother died on that voyage, leaving her an orphan at the age of eight. Her
older brother, John, was about ten. Her uncles split the care of the two
orphans. Her brother John was assigned to be raised by their Uncle Thomas
Stanly. Ruth was to be raised by her Uncle Timothy Stanley. Timothey
was "to find her meate, drink and app'll till she attaine the age of one and
twenty years & att the end of said tearme, or att the day of her marriage, with
Timothy Stanley's consent, shall give unto the sd Ruth Stanley the sume of
thirty pounds." Her brother John was to receive fifty pounds. Their
father John Stanley must have been fairly well off for the courts to be
assigning that much to the two orphans.
Isaac More had also arrived in the
New World in 1635. They married on Dec 5, 1645 when Ruth was nineteen.
Her brother married about the same time. His marriage record is fuzzy
reading that he married Dec fif---th, 1645 to Sarah Scott. They may have
married on the same day, or maybe ten days apart.
Ruth and Isaac More had
five daughters and Ruth lived to the age of sixty-five with her husband
outliving her by fifteen years.
1634 Vol. 11, No. Private Controversy (volumes at state library Hartford, not printed), Hartford, no date: "Elizabeth Bacon aged about seaventy one yeares" (mother of Timothy Stanley Jun'r and widow of Timotjy Stanley Sen'r) "testifyeth that I came over ffrom old Engelande in a ship with Samuell Greenhill and his wife in the yeare one thousand six Hundred and Thirty and ffure, and wee arrived in New Englande some time in Maye 34." Per this deposition Timothy Stanley Junior was a nursing child on this trip. Timothy' family of three, with brother Thomas Stanley and his wife Bennet, and the three orphan children of brother John Stanley, who died on the way over, make a group of eight Stanelys who arrived at Boston on this May day.----Nothing is said in the Court proceedings about John's wife, the inference being that she too was dead; in fact had died in England before the passage was begun.
