ONE BRANCH OF THE NORTHUP FAMILY OF NORTH KINGSTOWN.
1 ON October 2, 1655, the towne meetinge of Providence, in the Colony of Rhode Island, granted to Stephen1 Northup twenty-five acres of land. This is the first time his name appears upon record. N orthop or N orthorpe or N orthrope, as it is interchangeably written, is supposed to indicate an ancestral resid~nce ·in northern England, at one time overrun by the Danes who called their villages '' thorpes." Nor-Thorpe therefore may mean a dweller in one of these northern villages or thorpes. On August 27, 1656, at another towne meetinge, it was ordered that Stephen Northup have a home-lot laid out fo him over against Christopher Smith's lot; also, that he have commonage equal to any other townsman; also, that he be allowed to vote with the other inhabitants of the town. Henceforth he was a freeman and a pro nr1 Pt,w in thP tnwn !'.lnrl hl'>lrl {'ll'>...t<>;n ,.;,.,:h+c ;n +lw ,,.,.,;i;.,.,;;r,,rl ln~...l~ .t'.._ ..... v.;....,.._ ...,..,...... ;..,..._...., ..iv,, .l...l.'

Old deeds .show that a brook ran through his land, and that its northern boundary was a lane down which the boys of the town used to drive the cattle to water. The house was doubtless destroyed during King Philip's war, with the rest of the town's dwellings. On June 4, 1660, Stephen1 Northup was elected towne sargeant at the rate of three shillings a day, peage eight per penny. During his service John Clawson, a Dutchman, a protege of Roger "'\Yillimns, was murdered by an Indian not far from N orthup's house. N ortlrnp spent one day in warning the to,vn about the prisoner, and four days in taking the prisoner to Newport and attending his trial there, for which he received the three shillings a day. On February 8, 1662, he sold his land in Providence, and on :March 28, 1666, he ·witnessed a deed there. His name does not appear among the inhabitants who took the oath of allegiance to the King 1fay 31, 1666. He probably removed to Kingstown about this time. Pettaquamscot, the place where Stephen1 Northup settled, was bought by Samuel vVilbour and his partners of the Indians about 6 THE XORTHUP F-DIILY.

The land was also claime 2 2 1 STEPHE:N NORTHUP ( Stephen ), testified in 1721 that he ,vas sixty-one years old and that he had known the Pequot path ( the old Indian trail that led from Providence to New London), for forty eight years. About 1687, he bought a tract of land on Boston ~ eek, known as the J\'Iiddlefield farm. I;Ie also had a grist mill. ::Mary Northup, his wife, died after 1753. THE N0RTHI;P FAMILY. 7 Children: i.

In 17 42, his father, Benjamin2 Congdon, deeded to him land on Congdon Hill, near the old Congdon burial place. In 17 44 he deeded tliis back to his father and received a lot of land down by tlie shore near his father's dwelling place. The supposi tion is, that the exchange of property was after the death of· his wife, and that he took his children back to his father's home to be cared for. His will, which was probated in 17 46, mentions his two children, Sarah and Stukeley; and his father, Benjamin, is appointed guardian of them. The name of his wife has not been found. 4 4 3 2 1 S.AR.AHCONGDON (Stukeley, Benjamin, Ben}amin ) was prob ably born in 17 40, and when in 17 46, she had lost both parents, she went with her brother Stukeley4 to the home of her grand parents, Benjamin~ and Frances (Stafford) Congdon. This home adjoined that of Nicholas3 Northup. So Rouse4 Northup and Sarah' Congdon probably grew up together, and about 1755 they were married.* * See Northup Line.
