Name Wm Ring Gender Male Birth Date 07 May 1738 Birthplace NORTH YARMOUTH,CUMBERLAND,MAINE Father's Name Andrew Ring Mother's Name Zeruiah Indexing Project (Batch) Number C50345-1 System Origin Maine-ODM GS Film number 11591 [Note: film 11591 is "North Yarmouth records, 1730-1898", Author: North Yarmouth (Maine). Town Clerk; Rumery, Samuel D.] [Further note: this family is apparently recorded in both North Yarmouth and Cumberland, identically except for Sarah and William. While Sarah can be decided based on an independent baptism record, no such independent record exists for William. Consideration of the entire family suggests the birth date was misread or misrecorded and that 1735 is the correct date. Source:General Society of Mayflower Descendants. Mayflower Families through Five Generations reports the 1735 date, citing an article on the Ring Family in the North Yarmouth-oriented magazine Source:Old Times (Corliss, Augustus W), p. 913 and p. 1023.]
