Ralph Hemingway was born by about 1609 based on date of marriage. He came to Massachusetts Bay in 1633 & settled in Roxbury. He died at Roxbury in June 1678 (inventory).
He married at Roxbury 5 July 1634 Elizabeth Hewes; she was probably the "[blank] Hues a maid servant" admitted to Roxbury church as member #102, at the end of 1633 or beginning of 1634; she died Roxbury "Widow of Ralph Sr., 2 January 1684/5, age 82 years" and was buried as "old widow Hinningway" Roxbury 3 February 1685/6. (The burial as recorded by Eliot is a year, a month and a day after the date of death as given in the town records; Eliot's dates are usually more reliable. Pope, perhaps in an effort to resolve this discrepancy, erroneously states that wife Elizabeth d. Feb. 4, 1684, aged 82.).
