Perry, Sorry, the book doesn't list any of Ruth Hills parents. Penny, The Slocum book lists Sarah Slocum as the grandaughter of Peleg Slocum and Ruth Hill. It lists her as the daughter of Eleazer Slocum b. March 8 1796 and Sarah Marshall whom married Jan 12, 1818. It lists Sara' s siblings as Marshall who moved to Conway, MI; Allen who moved to Kansas and Mariette who married Jonathon Haver and moved to Vernon, MI. It says Sarah died at age 18. I don't have any knowledge of this other than my copy of the book but if Ruth Hill was Sarah's mother she had her when she was 64.
