Patience Ridland, eldest daughter of William, was born Jan. 18, 1667, presumably in Charlestown.
Joanna Ridland, second daughter of William, was born Aug. 15, 1670, presumably in Charlestown.
Mary Ridland, third daughter of William, was born Jan. 9, 1672, presumably in Charlostown.
Barnabas Ridland, third son of William, was born June 28, 1579, probably in Charlestown.
Note. There were three sons of William Ridland, and yet the family evidently became extinct in the male line. It is singular if all these sons died issueless. The mother and children may have left this country soon after the father's death. The name is not now known in the United States. We must leave them In obscurity.
