John Hayes m. June 1683 Ruth Ropar, d/o John Ropar of Charlestown, b. Apr 1655.
It seems likely that she was the Ruth Stone who married Joseph Newton in 1719. If so, she was still alive in 1727. See the discussion on Family talk:Daniel Stone and Ruth Roper (1). In what appears to be both her second and third marriage, prominent genealogies seem to have substituted younger, less age-appropriate, women when common sense suggests both marriages were this Ruth.
