• Notes

  A release of recognizance issued to Thomas Ruck was found among the Faversham Borough Sessions records. That release was given as Thomas Ruck had made arrangements for the support of his illegitimate child who was born to "Elizabeth Broadbridge". That release, therefor, confirms two pieces of information: 1) that Mary was indeed Thomas' child; and 2) the maiden surname of Elizabeth Broade [sic] was indeed Broadbridge. See the citation under Elizabeth Broadbridge. There is a PCC Will for a Mary Ruck, spinster, that leaves everything to her sister, Ann Garrick as well as Ann's grandchildren Susannah, Mary and Thomas Garrick. I still have not been able to tie this Mary and Ann in to the immediate Ruck family at Faversham or Ospringe but Mary claims to have been formerly of Faversham and died at Eastry. The Garricks are at Eastry and Sandwich.
