v. Samuel Jones.
vi. Ruhamah Jones.

from "Descendants of William Nickerson:"

"Joseph's wife, Ruhamah, apparently was one of the most colorful if not the most admirable of our ancestors! She was a "great beauty", but "of a disagreeable nature" and delighted in harassing others, so that both her Indian and white neighbors tried not to offend her. It is said that, if provoked, she would play havoc with their washing, their choice plants, and the fruits of their harvest. She was ready for an argument or a fight at any time. She was even suspected of complicity when Edward Bangs' barn was burned -- after they had quarrelled. Upon subsequent trial, Ruhamah was said to be ill and unable to attend court. For Joseph, an adverse action regarding security for his wife would cause him to lose his estate and render them destitute for life. This affair was decided favorably after he petitioned for an abatement.

Ruhamah lived to a "great age", and had remained sitting for so many years that, at her death, it was thought best to bury her in "the same crooked position" -- on Burial Hill, south of Ryder's Cove where many early Nickersons were buried."
