Wife of John Lincoln, 1749-1829.
---
m. 21-Nov-1779
---
Eventual husband, John Lincoln served in the Revolutionary War, enlisting on May 3, 1775 at the age of 25, serving 3 months and 6 days, and re-enlisting several times for short terms of service. Just before he turned 30, he married Ruth Stetson (she was 27). John was a grandson of Hannah Stetson (married to Solomon Lincoln), and his wife Ruth was the great-granddaughter of Hannah's brother (Robert Stetson). In Stackpole's, "History of Durham, Maine", page 214, it is stated a little inaccurately that they were cousins.

All of the children of John and Ruth were born in Scituate, Massachusetts, according to Stackpole's "History of Durham, Maine", although these children, except for the first child, John, are not recorded in "Vital Records of Scituate". Stackpole mentions that John and Ruth moved to Maine in 1791, which is about one year after the birth of their last child. Stackpole indicates there was another child, Joshua, who died in infancy, but doesn't give a date. Also, their first child listed is John Jr., born in January, 1780. As John and Ruth were married in November, 1779, Ruth must have been 7-to-8 months pregnant at the time of the recorded marriage date. Intentions to marry were recorded 02-Oct-1779. This seemed to be not uncommon at that time, as a justice of the peace was not always available in country towns, and couples often recorded their marriage when such a person became available. John's wife, Ruth, was born on 27-Mar-1752 (her birthdate is incorrectly stated in Stackpole's "History of Durham"). At the time of John's death, Ruth was 77 years old. She died about 5 years later at the age of 82, on 28-Jan-1835, and is buried in Sylvester Cemetery near Durham, Maine, along with her husband (from Beverly Koenig and family notes of Blaine Lincoln). There are many descendants of this John and Ruth Lincoln living today in the state of Maine.
