t The will of John1 Rolfe, 1664 [p. 300], called John? and Richard? Whittier 'my sister's sons." G. R. 1882, p. 144, states that Thomas1 Whittier mar. a ister of Henry1 and John1 Rolfe. Ruth Green appears on the Hv. records. It s not an original entry of marriage, however, and no date is given. Thi. 'ecord was made about 1665. On the Salis. rec. Mary, b. 1647, is dau. of Thomas and Ruth. The suggestion has been made that Ruth may have been half sister of the Rolfes, or a wid. when she mar. Whittier, or possibly a si -- er of John Rolfe's wife. Thomas Whittier was, however, more than. 30 y !-. ounger than John Rolfe.
