    Notes:

    From Albert Stokes "The Rue Family":

    Matthew Rue (John, Matthew) is believed to be the oldest son although no date of birth has been found. He could be the boy Matthew mentioned in the Staten Island census. That his first wife was Margaret Dove seems indicated by a deed in the New Jersey State Library, dated June 28, 1763, and recorded Oct. 6, 1763, between the legatees of Alexander Dove and John Smyth. Among the legatees is Joseph Rue, Jr., oldest son of Margaret Rue deceased, formerly Margaret Dove. Thus Margaret's parents are Alexander Dove, born 1663 in Shropshire, England, died in Monmouth County, NJ, Oct. 7, 1732, and Jane his wife, born 1671 and died in Monmouth County, Nov. 9, 1754. They are buried in the Topenamus graveyard where their stones giving the above information can be seen.

    The records of Christ Church at Shrewsbury, NJ, indicate the first Mrs. Rue's death as follows: "Burials 1748 - Apr. 29, Mrs. Rue wife of Mr. Matthew Rue. Her daughters Elenore and Jean were baptized same day aged 2 mo." On Oct. 11, 1749, Matthew Rue married Margaret Mount, daughter of Matthias Mount and widow of James Herbert (NJMB & SHGM). His will (NJW) dated Feb. 1, 1755, and proved Nov. 13, 1755, leaves to his wife Margaret one-third of the movable estate and requires her maintenance by his six sons while his widow. Each son gets 100 acres, while daughters get two-thirds of the movable estate. Executors: brothers William and Joseph. His widow married a third time to James Dey, Nov. 24, 1760 (NJB).

  1. 8.  RUE, John was born in 1679 in Staten Island, NY (son of RUE, Matthew and ?); died before 6 Mar 1775 in Matchaponex, Middlesex Co, NJ.

    Notes:

    From Albert Stokes "The Rue Family":

    John Rue (Matthew) was, according to the records of Rev. Elisha Boudinot Stockton (*), born in 1679. The source of Stockton's information is not stated, but since this John Rue received a grant of land near the falls of the Delaware on Nov. 17, 1699 (NJD, Book B, p. 719), he may well have been born before 1679. In the Staten Island census, believed to have been taken about 1706, his age is given as forty-three. The same census gives Matthew Rue, age 25; Matthew Rue, age 20; and a boy Matthew. John's wife Petrnell is listed but no age is given. The Stockton records give her birth year as 1686 without revealing the source.

    John Rue was a freeholder on Staten Island in 1702 and a constable in 1707. In a deed for a lot in Perth Amboy, dated 1716, he is called a cordwainer of Richmond County, NY (NJD). This lot was sold in 1732 to Matthew and James Rue of the Province of Pennsylvania. There is strong possibility that these are brothers of John.

    In his will, dated Jan 6, 1756, and proved Mar 6, 1775 (NJW)(**), he refers to himself as a yeoman of Matchaponex, Middlesex County, in the Eastern Division of the Province of New Jersey. His wife Peternell is mentioned and provided for but she is not further identified, a task which has stumped the experts for several generations. Besides sons Matthew, William, John, and Joseph, grandchildren Joseph, William, John, sons of son Matthew deceased are specifically mentioned and bequeathed land at Manalapan. These in addition to other four sons of son Matthew are to support Margaret Rue, the wife of son Matthew. No daughters are mentioned and there is no indication that there were any. There is no inventory, which may indicate that John had been dead some years before probate.

    Children of John and Peternell Rue as listed in will (order uncertain; dates of birth not found):

    Matthew
    William
    John
    Joseph
