Joseph Garrett … married (at Scituate) 17 Jan. 1677 [1677/8] Ruth Buck. Savage [4:234] says she was a daughter of the Lt. Isaac Buck who was Scituate Town Clerk in 1649 and who in 1676 "repulsed the Indian assault upon the town." He died intestate there in 1695 and the division of his estate gives to his "daughter Ruth, wife of Joseph Garrett" [Deane, p. 230]. Joseph Garrett and his wife Ruth joined the Scituate Church 1 July 1711 [Mayfl. Desc. 10:94], and the baptisms of their five children are recorded there.
[Note: no source for the marriage date is given, nor found. The Scituate records as well as the Plymouth Colony Records say 1676, which would be 1676/77. Savage (p. 2:233) gives the date using the modern year, 17 Jan 1677, as is typical of many secondary sources. It does not appear any of the contemporary sources say 1677, and one can only assume one of these already-converted dates from a secondary source was misinterpreted as being in the old-style by the authors, and converted again, incorrectly resulting in 1677/78. The first child is born 1680 so provides no clue.]

Joseph Garrett married to Ruth Bucke, the 17th day of January, 1676.
- NEHGR, p. 9:316, in its transcript of Plymouth Colony Records, says Joseph Gannett m. Ruth Buck, which is an error, but has misled some people since there was both a Joseph Gannett and a Joseph Garrett in Scituate at the time. The Shurtleff transcription (here), the Mayflower Descendant transcription (here) both say Garrett, and Savage says he examined the original and it said Garrett. This is also shown by other documents, such as the division of the estate of Isaac Buck (MD, p. 40:36), names his daughter "Ruth, ye wife of Joseph Garret".
