Seeking information about Ruth Devonshire

This is all I've found so far. She lived in England? Born in 1625, died in 1694.

Dear Ms. Clarke,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

Because you are seeking information about ancestors before the colonies were firmly established in North America, you will need to search for genealogical information or relevant materials from their country of origin such as The National Archives of the United Kingdom.

Prior to 1789, there was not an entity creating or maintaining passenger arrival lists at the Federal government level until the U.S. Customs Bureau started overseeing ports. One index source that you should use is P. William Filby’s “Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, 1500s-1900s” (15 vols) that is searchable through Ancestry.com. Another online source available is a collection of lists Olive Tree Genealogy has gathered.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!

Hi Debra,

Just in case  you are still searching, I found this on Ancestry.com. It is a pay site, but if you have never had a subscription you can get a free trial. https://www.ancestry.com/search/collections/1030/?name=Christopher_Tilman&spouse=_devonshire

(08) CHRISTOPHER S TILLMAN / TILGHMAN (devereux) found in 7270 trees

(08) (illegitimate) RUTH DEVEREUX / BLOUNT (tilghman) (1600-1694)

Since they claim that Ruth was illegitimate you probably will be hard pressed to find out anything about her, but you might if you have time to go through all of those trees. That many over whelmed me...Have fun searching.

Best Wishes
