Ruth Self was born about 1759, most likely in Northumberland County to William Self Jr. and Jean. William was listed on the 1758 and 1759 rent rolls in St. Stephen's Parish, Northumberland. When William's will was proven in 1771 he left his daughter one feather bed, furniture and one cow.

Ruth married John Hale before March 10th, 1778. On that date John and Ruth purchased 50 acres of land for 30 pounds from the estate of her father. The deed was drawn between four of Ruth's sisters and their husbands to John. In a similar deed made up just months later John and his brother-in-laws sold a 60 acre parcel out of the estate to the husband of another one of Ruth's siblings.

According to the Register of St. Stephen's Parish in Northumberland, John and Ruth had seven children. Only five children were named in John's will. John was recorded as the head of family in Northumberland in 1782.

John wrote his will April 13th, 1803 but it was not recorded until December 11th, 1809. He left his full estate to Ruth until her death. Ruth's date of death is unknown.
