Imtttg (Elark? nf lilpd* Mlmb and Imtgau (SfeneaUigij Compiled by ALFRED RUDULPH JUSTICE Franklin Printing Company Philadelphia [2] EXPLANATORY In presenting this genealogical history to the public, a few explanatory remarks are necessary for a full understanding of the text. The number preceding the name always refers to this person and identifies said person from any other of the same Christian name. The number immediately following the name refers to said person's parentage. The ease with which the ancestry can be traced will be apparent. Take for instance 822, we find he is the son of 316, Thomas Dungan. It will not be necessary to consult the index and go through fifty or more Thomas Dungans to find the right one. Simply refer back to 316, and you have the Thomas you are after. The authorities or sources of information, a list of which is given in this volume, are referred to by bracketed numbers. Abbreviations used: b. born bd. buried bapt. baptized circa about d. died or daughter of m. married P. C. C. Prerogative Court of Canterbury pr. proved or probated s. p. without issue. Great care has been used to avoid errors, which are however, unavoidable in a genealogical work. Many of the records have been supplied by descendants from their family Bibles or papers. To those who have assisted in this way, the writer takes this opportunity of expressing his thanks. The original records from abroad were obtained by the writer with the assistance of two professional genealogists, the late Lieut. Perceval Lucas, and Miss Edith Eliot, of Shenstone Lodge, Codrington Hill, Forest Hill, London, England, both of whom the writer found to be careful and reliable. The American records were copied with care from the usual sources: Church registers, grave stone inscriptions, wills, Administrations, Orphans Court records, Deeds, etc., and, as above mentioned, from family Bibles. The author will be obliged for the correction of errors and for genealogical information concerning branches of the family which have been omitted. The books mentioned in the list which follows, with a few exceptions, will be found in the following libraries: Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania, Mercantile Library, Philadelphia Library, Ridgeway branch, Free Library of Philadelphia and New York Public Library.

    TUB PBBlOD 01' THE FIBST CHARTER, 1648-63. 80 Although there is not space here to allude in detail to the provisions of this code, the remarks of Judge Staples on the subject, written over fifty years ago, should certainly be quoted. These early legislators, he says, c, began at the foundation, and adopted a bill of rights which secured all that their ancestors had wrested from their kings, and which their countrymen had subsequently lost, and were then endeav­ oring to regain. They clothe them in language too plain not to be understood. They were a simple people, and the language of their laws was such 88 a people would naturally use. They regarded them­ selves, within the scope of their charter, as the only source of power among them, and they in practice declared 'that their government derived all its just powers from the consent of the governed'. They expressly declared their government to be a democracy, or Cgovern­ ment held by the consent of all the free inhabitants'. This declaration was 88 heterodox in the political systems of that day, as were their notions of soul-liberty. ... Tbis code, and the acts and orders p88lled at its adoption, constituted the fundamentallaw8 of the colony while the charter remained in force. The alterations made in them during that period were rather formal than substantial. Their spirit remained unchanged, and has been infused into all the subsequent legislation of the colony and state".! CHAPTER VII. THE PERIOD OF THE FIRST CHARTER, 1648-68. The people of Rhode Island had started the-machinery of their new framework of government, but they were poorly qualified to keep the machine running smoothly and easily.

    The Narragansett Planters 49

    1933.] The Narragansett Planters 49 THE NARRAGANSETT PLANTERS BY WILLIAM DAVIS MILLER HE history and the tradition of the "Narra- T gansett Planters," that unusual group of stock and dairy farmers of southern Rhode Island, lie scattered throughout the documents and records of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and in the subse- quent state and county histories and in family genealo- gies, the brevity and inadequacy of the first being supplemented by the glowing details of the latter, in which imaginative effort and the exaggerative pride of family, it is to be feared, often guided the hand of the chronicler. Edward Channing may be considered as the only historian to have made a separate study of this community, and it is unfortunate that his monograph. The Narragansett Planters,^ A Study in Causes, can be accepted as but an introduction to the subject. It is interesting to note that Channing, believing as had so many others, that the unusual social and economic life of the Planters had been lived more in the minds of their descendants than in reality, intended by his monograph to expose the supposed myth and to demolish the fact that they had "existed in any real sense. "^ Although he came to scoff, he remained to acknowledge their existence, and to concede, albeit with certain reservations, that the * * Narragansett Society was unlike that of the rest of New England."

    Samuell Gorton Influenced the Development of Quakerism, Or Whether Instead Quakerism Influenced the Development of Gortonism

    SAMUEL GORTON Recently there has been on the internet an influence argument having to do with whether in the 17th Century Samuell Gorton influenced the development of Quakerism, or whether instead Quakerism influenced the development of Gortonism. This argument has evidently been mounted by proud descendants of Gorton and facilitated by genealogists. To track this, you can consider the following three articles: PERUSE A 1934 STUDY PERUSE A 1979 STUDY PERUSE A 1983 STUDY I do not myself find anything which would indicate that Samuell Gorton had any influence whatever over the development of Quakerism. Indeed, the impression which I bring away from this reading is that Mr. Gorton of Warwick, Rhode Island was your usual sort of fundie panjandrum preacherman (a phenomenon with which we of the 21st Century are even now all too familiar), establishing his own little church with his own little flock as the venue within which he might play the role of Supreme Pontiff, as a sort of personality cult: “I listen to the Inward Christ, while you listen to me.” This man was a Reverend Jim Jones character if he was anything — “You need to drink this grape Kool-Aid.” It would amaze me to discover that any Quakers of the 17th Century were interested in reducing themselves to being merely such a man’s camp followers. It would seem to me that it is one of the foundation stones of Quakerism, that we do not embrace such religious leadership — that this is a grape Kool- Aid which we always decline. (Of course, I also consider that it was rather wrongheaded for the Puritans to come down into Rhode Island and arrest him and keep him in leg shackles in Charlestown, and come within a skosh of hanging him.

Johns~on - Oliv·e Maxson Jones From Seventh Day Baptist Memorial volumes 1 and 2 The Rev. John Maxson's parents came from England and were the earliest settlers of New England and also among the first who attempted a landing on the shores of Connecticut. _The party with which they were connected • made a temporary settlement, it is supposed, near Throg's Neck, hence for some time after called Maxson Point. They carried on a trade with the Indians, and prospered until about the time of the breaking out of the Pequot War, in 1637, when tne Indians who surrounded them, instigated probably by emissaries from the Pequods, suddenly abstained from inter­ course with the settlers. Upon their sending to the natives to ing_uire why they did not come· .in as usual to trade, they received answer that they feared dogs, which they allowed to go unconfined, but that if they would shut them up they would come again. The unsuspecting colonists·, blinded by their apparent good will, complied with the conditions, and their watchful sentinels once confined, the savages made an attack. on the .settlement and drove the whites to their shallop. A portion of them landing in a boat ~he next day to procure more provisions and produce· from their gardens were again attacked and Rich2.rd Maxson and his son Riche.rd were killed. Mrs. Maxson·escaped with the survivors in a shallop and after a long and tedious passage landed in the Island of Aquidneck, thG nearest place on the coast at that time, free from the danger of the hostile Indians, where soon after her son, John, was born.

  • Champlin Memorial Transcribed

    Champlin Memorial Transcribed

    October 9, 2003 To all Champlin Researchers: This transcription of the Champlin Memorial had its origin in August 1999 as I was beginning to explore that family in my wife's lineage. I discovered the original in the library at the Newport Historical Society. The work is a typescript, bound volume. The narrative is fascinating; the genealogical information is extensive. Its pages are well worn and very fragile. Handwritten annotations are found throughout. As I was working on the arduous task of hand-copying that information, I thought other researchers would benefit by having a copy of the Memorial. Thus began my quest to make the Memorial available to as many people as possible. I did not live near Newport, Rhode Island. Getting to the Historical Society required airplane rides, hotels and the like. But, with perseverance and patience, I was able to complete the transcription shortly after the Champlin Family Reunion of June 2003. The transcription is as accurate to the original as I could make it. It has been proofed to insure the information is here as it is found in the original. Typographical errors, spacing and layout have been copied to the extent possible. The original has several cites to appendices which are not found with the original. Since I did not know the origins of the handwritten notations they have been excluded from the transcription. An addendum of unknown origins has been included here. I set up the transcription to accommodate duplex printing of the pages. If you travel to Newport, please take time to visit the Historical Society and peruse the Memorial.
