William Ring 1585 Mary Durant 1590-1637

William Ring
Born abt 1580 Houghton, Lancaster, England
Birth note: Extracted christening records in Pettistree do have a 'Willus Ryng' christened in 1599 with parents Willmi and Finaetae, but if the marriage date to Mary Durant is true (1601) this nullifies William being from Pettistree
Occupation: Say-weaver at Leyden, Holland, before the Separatists (Pilgrims) sailed for America
Note: Fairchild’s Dictionary of Textiles (7th edition) gives the following information on ‘say’ (saye or saie) An obsolete fabric widely used from the 12th to 19th centuries. During the 12th and 13th centuries, it was a relatively fine, lightweight, high quality wool fabric similar to serge. About the 16th century, it was also made of silk.
Married Mary Durant 21 May 1601 Ufford, Suffolk, England
Died Leiden, Holland, Netherlands
Notes: He was guaranteed by William Bradford and Alex Price on June 7, 1619 (Guaranteed meant vouched for and sworn in). The Mary Ring who witnessed a wedding at Leyden in 1614, was probably his wife. When the 'Speedwell' sailed from Delfthaven on June 22, 1620, William was aboard. At Dartmouth, on August 17th, after leaks forced the ship into port, agent Robert Cushman wrote that, "Poor William Ring and myself do strive who shall be meat for the fishes but we look for a glorious resurection." When the 'Mayflower' set out alone on September 6th, neither William nor Mary were aboard.

H - 8th GGrandfather
George David Godfrey
Parents: Unknown - see note
Note: I have not found definite proof that Edward (who became a Governor of a province in Maine) is his father. An alternative I found on Ancestral File is Francis, however, I can't find anything to truly link them either. He didn't name any of his children after either of these men. You would think he would if his father were Governor.

Hannah Godfrey
Born 25 Apr 1669 Eastham, Barnstable, Massachusetts, British Colonial America
Marriage: Joseph Cary 1687 Norwich, New London, Connecticut, British Colonial America
Children: Joseph, Jabez
Note:  I did not find proof of this marriage, other than it was listed on Family Search.  I personally believe there are TWO Hannah Godfrey's; this one, born in Massachusetts, and the other, born in Connecticut.  There is also a Hannah Godfrey that married Ephraim Hoyt (did find a source for that marriage), but married also in New Hampshire...a distance of over 116 walking miles in a day when travel wasn't that easy. So far, I'm not convinced Hannah was married at all. Anyone *with sources* know the truth?
