      Speculation:
      It appears that Ruhama was widowed young and lived with her son Jared. They all moved from Manchester, Hartford, Connecticut, to Amity, Erie, Pennsylvania about 1834 (between the births of Jared's children Aurelia and Alanson). She married Roswell Hatch between 1840-1850 after his first wife died. Ruhama was probably somewhat older than Roswell and fudged her age in the 1850 census.
