Hello,
Here's a letter I sent to the Carruth family e-mail list at ListBot that I
thought someone may find use of.

Hello,
Thought some of you may be interested in visiting the web page below.
http://www.edsanders.com/gen0002.htm
Info. from the page says:
"53. Jermina RUSSELL was born on Sep 8 1714. Jermina RUSSELL and John
CARRUTH had no known children."
For John and Jemima’s children I have:
John, Jr. 1734-1814
James 1737-1812
Jonas 1740-1827
Ephriam 1742-1760
Nathan 1744-1827
Jemina 1745-1829
Josiah 1749-1836
Lucy ca. 1750-1806
Sarah ca. 1753-1841
William ca. 1755-1778
Lydia ca. 1758-1831
However, you can follow Jemima's maternal Howe line back to her 2nd great
grandfather Edward Howe who died in April 1639 in Lynn, Ma. at the above
listed website. There it is shown he was born in England. This is quite a
find for a maternal ancestor if you do not have this information.
John and Jemima’s family are very well documented in "Carruth Family"
published in 1952 by Harold B. Carruth and "Genealogy of a Branch of the
Carruth Family -or- The Descendants of James Carruth of Phillipston"
published in 1926 by Arthur Jay Carruth, Jr. and Edgar William Carruth (sons
of the author of the works - Arthur Jay Carruth). I have these two books.
The connection for the Carruth and Howe family is documented for Jemima in
both books through her parents James and Mary (Howe) Russell. There is a
third book as well on this family that I don't have. These books are all on
file at the New England Historic Genealogical Society. There is a webpage
for the society at:
