    "September 10, 1674, Rev. James Noyes was ordained, and during his Pastorate 'The Persons whose names are under written appeared in Publick in the meeting-house, and before the Church then assembled, and willingly and openly acknowledged their Parents' covenant, actually giving themselves to the Lord, owning the substance of ye Church Covenant and articles of faith, Promising subjection to ye Government of Christ in this Church:—… July 16, 1699, Ruth Brown."

    This burial is not documented in the Hale Collection. There appears to be no evidence of the actual place of burial. In addition, there is no evidence connecting Ruth Huse of Newbury with Jeremiah Main of Stonington and it is highly unlikely that a woman born in 1663 would have been regularly bearing children as late as 1718.
