  • State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations at the End of the Century
    SAMUEL GORTON AND THB FOUNDING OP WABWICK. ~'1 While the Newport idea tended toward conservatism in public affairs, the Providence principle injected conaiderable vitality into political 888emblies. If a "vigorous political life", as was once re­ marked, could save a colony from Umental atrophy", then Rhode Island's future was insured forever. CHAPTER V. SAMUEL GORTON AND THE FOUNDING OF WARWICK. The third settleJnent instituted within the borders of the future Rhode Island was Warwick, founded by Samuel Gorton and his follow­ ers. IJike the t,,'o preceding settlements, it was primarily formed through stress of circumstances-the disinclination of the Puritan magistrates to tolerate certain views far too advanced for their narrow minds. It was a community, moreover, whose earliest history cen­ t.ered closely about the person and fortune of a single man. This man, who, through his peculiar political and religious opinions and his pertinacity in stating them, has been 888ailed with much undeserved abuse, was Samuel Gorton.1 The story of his life must be briefly told. Arriving at BORton in March, 1637, at the age of forty-four, he found that colony in the throes of the Antinomian controversy. He must have soon observed that this austere commonwealth was no place for liberal thinkers, for we find him two months later removed to Ply­ mouth, where he ,c gave hopes of proving an useful instrument". But little by little, the narrative runs, 'c he discovered himself to be a proud and pestilential seducer, and deeply leavened with blasphemous and familistical opinions".1 At last the Plymouth magistrates became 'For the chief accounts of Gorton, see under Blol1raphfl and Wartolc7c In Bibliography at end of last 'Volume.

    Three Samplers from We s tco tt, Rho de Is la nd Thank you for opportunity to display some artifacts from the Westcott Society Collection and tell you the story of Three Samplers and a place called Westcott. So, two questions. First, by show of hands who has made sampler or has one in your home? Any men? And, again by show of hands, how many of you have ever been to Westcott, R.I.? 1 Three Samplers from We s tco tt, Rho de Is la nd David Wescott Smith Society of Stukely Westcott Descendants of America My name is David Smith and I am the historian for the Society of Stukely Westcott Descendants of America. No, there is not a typo in my middle name. In the Smith clan, the center T was lost three generations ago. Now a few things about my seven-times great grandfather and the society named after him. 2 Stukely Westcott (1592-1678) 1592: Born Somersetshire, England 1619: Marries Juliana Marchant, St. John the Baptist Church, Yeovil Stukely Westcott was born in Somersetshire, England in 1592. On October 5, 1619, he got lucky and married Juliana Marchant at St. John the Baptist Church in Yeovil, Somerset, England. 3 Stukely Westcott (1592-1678) 1592: Born Somersetshire, England 1619: Marries Juliana Marchant, St. John the Baptist Church, Yeovil 1635: Sails from Dartmouth; joins John and Mary Sweet in Salem In 1635, Stukely and Juliana sailed for the New World from Dartmouth with their six children, the oldest of which as 14-year old Damaris.

  • We Love Getting Together for Joseph Knight and Polly Peck Family
    We love getting together for Joseph Knight and Polly Peck family reunions to hear and tell stories from their lives and the lives of their descendants who are also our ancestors. We are proud of the virtues and character illustrated in these stories, and especially of their witness and contribution to the Restoration. Joseph and Polly also had ancestors who are also our ancestors. It is interesting to learn stories of these ancestors’ lives. Sometimes we can recognize events or patterns that may have contributed to Joseph and Polly’s circumstances or foreshadowed their accomplishments. The author’s interest in ancestors and their stories began with an assignment from his mother to make typewritten copies of family pedigree charts when he was about twelve years old. These pedigree charts fit in an 8 ½ by 14 inch Book of Remembrance, but unfolded twice in width and once in length to 25 ¼ by 20 ¼ inches, showing nine generations and 511 ancestors. The author thought it was neat to see all these names and learn something about his genealogy. His interest waned over teen-age years, but resumed after his mission. He arranged to talk with an uncle with a reputation as the family genealogist. Upon seeing a family pedigree he asked who of these people was first to join the Church, and began to learn the story of Newel Knight and his role as a witness in early Church history and subject of revelations in the Doctrine and Covenants. His field of interest was thus extended from genealogy to family history, an interest greatly facilitated with the availability of the internet.

  • THE GREENE FAMILY of ST. ALBANS, VERMONT Together with the Origin and the History of the Greene Family in England and Rhode Island
    THE GREENE FAMILY of ST. ALBANS, VERMONT together with the origin and the history of the Greene Family in England and Rhode Island by Walter and Ella Greene 1964 Copyright 1964 by Walter and Ella Greene PREFACE To forget one's ancestors is to be a brook without a source, a tree without a root. - - Chinese Proverb Some years ago the authors discovered that the genealogy of our branch of the Greene family had been compiled to about the year 1800. This work was then conceived as a small pamphlet which would bring the record up to the present generation for our immediate family. In searching for data, we contacted many related branches of the family. We were encouraged by those with whom we talked to believe that interest in our endeavor reached beyond our own family. The information we gathered increased in volume to the point where we decided it should be preserved per­ manently in book form and that it should include a summary of information from earlier genealogies which are now out of print and practically unobtain­ able, except in large libraries and historical society collections. This work includes names and pertinent dates for the Vermont Greenes which were supplied to us by interested members of the present generation, supplemented by our own searches in genealogies and vital records. It is sufficiently complete, we believe, so that present (and future} generations not now included in the book can trace back their own lines to where they join that of Nathan, Job, or Caleb Greene, and from them to our common ances - tors in Rhode Island and England, Our sincere thanks to all who assisted us by supplying information and checking sections of the manuscript on the accuracy of the data for the vari­ ous branches of the family.

To do this I have combined some of the major events of the founding of Rhode Island and colonial life with the known activity of John, and through this synthesis he has begun to reveal himself. This exploration could not have been done without The Early Records of the Town of Portsmouth, Records of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations in New England, and the multitude of genealogical research about the first colonists that provide what we know about John. Early Life and History, 1611-1638 We are very lucky to have the 1670 "relation" of John Tripp that identifies his origin and places of abode (see attached transcription). According to the "relation" and Paul Tripp's research he was born about 1610 and christened September 8, 1611 at Horkstow Parish, in northern Lincolnshire, England just south of the Humber River.

  • The Indenture of John1 Tripp of Horkstow, Lincolnshire, Boston and Portsmouth; and His Three New England Masters
    The indenture of John1 Tripp of Horkstow, Lincolnshire, Boston and Portsmouth; and his three New England masters Ronald E. Benson, Jr. Margaret Bock compiled a very complete account of the immigrant John1 Tripp and his descendants, which was published in 1983.1 The baptism of John1 Tripp, along with the marriage of his parents and baptism of his siblings can be found in the parish records of Horkstow, Lincolnshire, England. John Tripp and Elizabeth Moyses were married in Horkstow on 30 July 1609 and their son John Tripp was baptized in Horkstow on 8 September 1611.2 The first known New England record for John Tripp is believed to be his name on the loyalty compact which was signed at Portsmouth, Rhode Island on 30 April 1639.3 Paul L. Tripp provided a considerable amount of information about his research into John Tripp of Horkstow and Portsmouth, which is available online.4 He relates that while doing research in the New Bedford Library during March 1991, he found a copy of a single-page, handwritten document appearing to have been written in 1670.5 A transcription of this document is as follows.6 The Relation of John the said John Tripp concerning the plases [= places] of his aboad [= abode] first I was born in Horstow [= Horkstow] in Lincolnshire 3 miles from Barton hambar [Barton-upon-Humber] and my father['s] name was John Tripp and my mother['s] name was Isabel moses before she marryed my father when she was a maid and they had about 12 Children and much kindred we had and when I grew in years I was put an apprentice to a shaft

  • Descendants 350 (1636-1986)
    Descendants 350 (1636-1986) This photo album of Descendants of many of the First Settlers of Rhode Island pays tribute to the trials and tribulations that their Ancestors were subjected to during the early to middle 1600s. It offers a unique look and study of the State's early history as it relates to images of Descendants (contemporaries) as icons or symbols to pay tribute to and talk about their Ancestors' (First Settlers') contributions through text extracted from The Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island (and other sources). This contemporary approach resurrects the past through the present: discussion of Ancestral contributions to the State's development via historical text and visualization of their Descendants, today (1986), through documentary photography to bring forth those founding bloodlines, and to offer to the viewer a likeness or similarity of features between the Descendants and their Ancestors. This project was funded by Providence 350, Inc. as a part of Rhode Island's 350th Anniversary Celebration, 1986. Tom R. Chambers, the creator of the project, received a Proclamation from Edward DiPrete, Governor of Rhode Island. This unique coupling of present and past bloodlines makes this project special: Rhode Island's early history is referenced, and the Ancestors'/First Settlers' contributions in formulating the State's history are genetically perpetuated through today's Descendants of those First Families, our contemporaries and those individuals who are alive and interact with other residents of the State during our present time. This sense of presence or immediacy is the key factor that brings this project to the forefront for consideration and discussion.
