Reading edition

Savage calls him Jarvis and has given him Wife, Hannah Fowler, 24th Dec., 1685; Son Jarvis, born 2d Oct., 1686; Daughters, Hannah, born 3d March, 1689, Elizabeth, 3d Sept., 1692, and Son Oliver, born 17th June, 1698. This was a Salisbury Family. The Joseph Ring, mentioned in the next Section, was perhaps that Joseph born the 3d of August, 1664 (at Salisbury), Son of Robert. Instead of this Robert Ring having come over in the Ship Bevis, in 1638, it does not appear that any Person of the Name of Ring came at that Time in that Ship. Mr. Savage "strangely" says Robert Ring came over in the Bevis of Northampton, and stranger still there is no Robert Ring on his own List of Passengers. For Robert Knight he copied (or some one for him), Robert Ringht! Being unwilling to admit a new Name into his Dictionary, he has committed a more serious Blunder. Mr. Lawson says he was present when Ring gave his Testimony, and fully corroborates our Author's Statement.—Lawson, 113.
