  • Notes 
    • There are two Ruck individuals that appear in the very early Boughton under Blean parish registers:
      1. Richard Ruck who is a parish churchwarden for several years beginning in 1562; and,
      2. Joan Ruck who married in 1562.

      For the time being I have assigned both of the above Ruck individuals to the first marriage John Ruck to Johan as that is the only place on the tree that they could fit and still be 21 in 1562.

      In an email received from Richard Farhall, Town Clerk of Rye, Sussex on 17 September 2002 he advised as follows:

      "Richard Ruck was Mayor of Rye during the year of 1550 when he shared Mayoralty with George Raynoldes, and again in 1553. He had a son with the same name who never became Mayor but was a freeman of the town. There is no monument in the Town about him. However, Richard Ruck senior owned property at the end of Watchbell Street, down a small lane which is now called Watchbell Lane but originally half of it was called Ruck's Lane and this appears on Jeakes Map of 1667 which is reproduced in 'The Records of Rye Corporation'." [I strongly suspect that the group at Rye are descendants of the Ruck family of Hawkhurst.]


      There was a Richard Ruck, son of Hugh Ruck, deceased, citizen and writer of the court letter of London [scrivener, 1532], 11 Jan. 1564/5.
