I suspect you're referring to the daughter of John3 (William2 of Rehoboth) and Hannah (Smith) Carpenter of Rehoboth and Long Island. According to Seversmith (whose research of this line is the most complete and reliable in print), their daughter Ruth (b. Jamaica, L.I., ca. 1664) married John Ludlam, son of William and Elizabeth (Smith) Ludlam. Gene Z.
