"WILLIAM SWIFT … m. by 1651 Ruth (-----) (eldest known child b. Sandwich 11 March 1651[/2?] [MD 14:166; SandVR 1:15]; in his will of 15 December 1705, 'William Swift Senior of the town of Sandwich' included a bequest to 'wife Ruth Swift' [MD 30:113, abstracting BarnPR 2:217]). (The assumption is made here that Ruth was the mother of William's children, although her name is not given in the records of their births.)[1]
