John Ruggles was born about 1632 in Sudbury, Suffolk, England, [1]
"John Ruggles, son of John and Barbara was the only child to live. He was born in 1633, in England; was two years old when he came with the others in 1635, on the ship Hopewell. He married in 1655 and lived until 1713, and had 58 years of active life after his first marriage. He was often a selectman; was one of the trustees of the "Roxbury Free School." He took an active part, in making known, and the purchase of the Indian Territory in Connecticutt which is now Woodstock and Pomfret. He was one of four persons sent in October 1684, with Indian guides to view the wilderness and report; which resulted in the purchase of Woodstock, first called New Roxbury. These four persons were Lieut. Samuel Ruggles, son of Samuel Ruggles ; JohnRuggles, son of John, cousins; John Curtis belonging to a family in Scituate, Massachusetts and Isaac Morris. Their report was accepted by the town, and on May 6, 1686, a committee of twelve was authorized to purchase the Mashamoquet territory, which afterwards was the town of Pomfret, of persons in Connecticut, who were ,claimants. This is briefly stated, for there were numerous meetings, and committees set at work before the towns were finally settled. Six of the names of this committee were silent or "implored"; though the purchase was immediately concluded, the country was not settled until 1707. May 8, 1707, after three of the six known men had died, the three remaining, Benjamin Sabin, Samuel Ruggles, Jr., and Joseph Griffin, acting for the whole committee, made known and acknowledged the names of the six silent members. This acknowledgment is recorded in the Suffolk Registry of Deeds (Boston), of date May 8, 1707. The names of the six originally known were : in the order, Samuel Ruggles, deceased; John Chandler, deceased; Benjamin Sabin, John Grosvenor, deceased; Samuel Ruggles, Jr., and Joseph Griffin. The six whose names were revealed were : John Pierpoint, John White. John Ruggles Cordwainer, John Gore, Samuel Gore, and Thomas Morey. Johns Ruggles married 1st, April 3, 1655, Mary Gibson of Cambridge who died Decemeber 6, 1674; he married 2d, March 15, 1675, Sarah Dyer of Weymouth, who died 1657, and he married 3d, Ruth by whom he had no children. She died April 11, 1710. He died February 25, 1713." SOURCE: https://sites.google.com/site/sutlifffamilyhistory/stout-naugle-lines
