Elizabeth Blow

Richard Blow’s wife is given in several deeds as Elizabeth. According to an 1898 autobiographical statement of a great-great-grandson, his wife was Elizabeth Rives Ruffin.40

He evidently married shortly before 1710, as his two eldest sons seem to have been born about then.

notes

From Elizabeth4 Ruffin KINCHEN Family

It was long thought that William Kinchen married Elizabeth RUFFIN.John Boddie
states this in his Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight County pg 230-32.

However, we now believe that Elizabeth RUFFIN married MATTHEW Kinchen the son of William and Elizabeth ? (perhaps Joyner).

The conclusion here is  that William Kinchen's wife Elizabeth (somebody

other than Ruffin) is giving away to her son and grandson, both named

William,  Rose and Secor the very same two slaves that her husband, William

Kinchen, had given to her just 5 years earlier
