∼Ralph Hemingway 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 at Roxbury "Widow of Ralph Sr., 2 January 1684/5, age 82 years" and was buried as "old widow Hinningway" Roxbury 3 February 1685/6 [ RChR 186]. (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.)
They had seven known children,, all born Roxbury.
Elizabeth Hewes was the sister of Lt. JOSHUA HEWES , and of Phebe (Hewes) Gorde of Roxbury. The mother of these three Hewes children was Mary Foote.
