Carol -

I have some information on this line. There was a son, Helkiah, whose
wife was Ruth (___). MFIP Cooke 2nd. ed. says about Ruth^3, daughter of
Jacob^2 Cooke, b. 17-Jan-1665 Plymouth, "No proof she m. Helkiah Tinkham
as stated in 'Families of the Pilgrims.' See MD 36:189." Susan Roser's
"Mayflower Increasings" and "Mayflower Births & Deaths" do not give a
surname for Ruth.

Are you descended from one of Helkiah's children?
