"… 'Barbara Ruggles the wife of John Ruggles. She was a Godly Christian woman, & joined to the church with her husband, the power of the grace of Christ did much shine in her life & death, she was much afflicted with the stone cholic in which sickness she manifested much patience, and faith; she died in childbed, the 11 month, 1636, & left a Godly savor behind her' [RChR 81]."
"… Barbara _____. She died at Roxbury in January 1636[/7?] [RChR 81]."
"John Ruggles and Edward Bridge {1637, Roxbury} called one another brother or brother-in-law, probably implying that one had married a sister of the other, or that the wives of the two men were sisters. Unfortunately, we know the maiden name of only one of the wives of these two men."
