link "Ruth [Shurborne], born in 1660, and married Aaron Moses, 1677." [Note that Davis thinks this is the only honest account of their marriage. In this version the author gives the year only and not exact dates. Dates given in NEHGR 17:253 and 58:227 are exact dates and conflict. Therefore Davis concludes the exact dates may have been added by someone after the original account was recorded. So the exact date is probably not reliable but the version that Davis approves of (this version) is probably correct in at least the fact that a marriage occurs. See Davis' statement in GDMNH below were he concludes about the marriage "All circumstantial ev., age, propinquity and the practical certainty that A. M. made an early first mar. are in favor of its truth, and there is no negative ev."
In The Great Migration Begins p 1003 sketch for Aaron Moses, Robert Charles Anderson, FASG, simply states the marriage as a fact citing NEHGR 17:253. However, on p 1668 in the sketch of Ruth Shurborne he uses the qualifier "probably" and cites Davis' Waterhouse Ancestry 76].
So both Davis and Anderson agree this marriage was very probable or a practical certainty but the date may have issues.

AARON (2), Portsmouth, liv. in the homestead at Sagamore creek, which was a garrison in 1692. As marshal of N. H., he was sometimes called by the grandiloquent title ‘Field Marshal.’ Jury 1696. Lists 52, 57, 63, 330df, 335a, 339b. In the second and altered form of the Sloper fam. rec. (see Brewster 3) he is said to have m. 1 June 1676 Ruth Sherburne, whose birth is rec. in the original ms.

Batchelder makes this comment: If, as is prob., Aaron was the oldest son when his fa. d., he and not James had the double share, and on his death it passed equally to his bros. and sisters. A div. into 7 shares in 1734 therefore requires 7 surv. ch., one more than shown. The change from 8 ch. to 7 is more likely to be a correction of a misapprehension about James’ having a double share than of a miscount of the ch. or of a death between 1733 and 1734.] Adm. 21 Nov. 1713 to wid.

Sarah Scott and three daus. (wives of three of her sons). Adm. d. b. n. on his fa.’s est. was gr. to James in 1733, Geo. Walker and John Jackson bondsmen, and div. into 8 shares contemplated, but in the account, 1734, div. into 7 shares is ordered. Giving James his double share leaves five other ch. to be identified, three being the kn. brothers, one the kn. sis. Sarah Scott. The fifth was undoubtedly Ruth, w. of Timothy Waterhouse, and, as she was liv. and not mentioned in Mary Sherburne’s will, a dau. of A. M. by an earlier w. Mr. C. W.
