Lookup request: new PGM book (GM Immigrants to New England, 1636-1638)

Question

I am interested in the family of Ruth Bayes, daughter of Thomas Bayes who was in Dedham by 1638. I see he was profiled in the new volume of the Great Migration series, so I am hoping if someone who bought the volume already can tell me if it mentions anything about her other than her marriage to Isaac Norton. In particular, any citations to sources about that family would be appreciated.

Comments

I suppose $63 at the member discount rate isn't bad for an 824 page volume but considering how many volumes are projected...

As I often do on g2g postings, I read your profile, and note the following:

• Barry's academic g-grandfather (in math genealogy, his thesis advisor's advisor's advisor) solved a 400 year mathematics conjecture called Fermat's Last Theorem. Barry understands the proof.

Having once attended a seminar on this proof, I am in awe.

My father wrote my entire biography, and that addition is his. :-) While I understood parts of the proof, I never understood the whole thing. And it has been some years, so the number of parts I understand has been diminishing with time.

Answer 1

For Ruth:

• birth - cites DeVR2, ERB 4:36
• bpt - DeChR27
• marriage - Dukes LR 1:82, 172, 310; Martha's Vineyard Hist 3:345
• birth of eldest child - Martha's Vineyard Hist 3:128, 346.

DeVR = The Record of Births, Marriages and Deaths in the Town of Dedham, vols 1 & 2, ed. Don Gleason Hill, 1886.

ERB = Early Records of Boston, ed. David Pulsifer (serialized in NEHGR vols 2-20).

DeChR = The Record of Baptisms, Marriages and Deaths from the Church Records in the Town of Dedham 1638-1845, ed. Don Gleason Hill, 1888

Dukes LR = Dukes County Deeds

Martha's Vineyard Hist = Charles Edward Banks, The History of Martha's Vineyard, 3 vols
