For convenience of reference a number has been assigned to each member of the family. Figures in( )indicate the American genera- tion,reckoning as first, John the immigrant of A. D., 1631. C. stands for child or children, b.for born, m. married, and d.died. The P. O. address is under the name. To trace from individuals to their fami- lies, findtheir number on the left hand margin, then turn on tillthe same number is found again in the middle of a page. To tiace backward re- verse the process. The central person of these records is William(6), No. 50. Those who precede are simply to show his ancestry, and following him is as full a record of his descendants as Ihave been able to obtain. Itake pleasure in acknowledging my special obligations, for assistance in the early records, to Hon. Wm. P. Sheffield of Newport, R. 1., and inlater records to each of those who have acted as secretaries for the families to which they belong. Notwithstanding all the care and painstaking correspondence, Iam well aware that many errors and omissions willbe found. In this respect Iwish to ask a special favor, whichItrust that no member of our family willbe unwillingto grant, that is, ifthere is positive proofof any error or omission, that it be reported to me or to my son Wm. John, as soon as possible ; and, ifreference is made to any one inthese records, that care be taken to give the number withthe name. Iwould further request that any changes inP. O. address, and every birth,marriage and death, with the timeand place, be reported at once, that at some future time a more complete edition may be issued. Iwouldalso recommend that this branch i of the Snnford family continue the custom of appointing a registrar to whom all these reports shall be made, and that a corrected edition be issued, once hiabout twenty-five years. Two extra copies of the present edition willbe mailed to any address upon the receipt of one dollar. i HEMANH. SANFORD, i Ostrom Aye., Syracuse, N. Y. HISTORIC AL. About the middle of August, 1*331, John, the son of Samuel and Elleanor Sanford, of Alford, Lincolnshire, England, sailed for America, inthe ship Lyon, Captain Pierce, in company with John Eliot the missionary to the Indians, John Winthrop Jr., afterwards governor of Ct., and others. They arrived out of Boston harbor, on Nov. Bd, and after two days landed in the new world. A few items from the colonialrecords willbe of interest to his descendants.

  • 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.

In the contests waged to define these liberties, contending factions of revolutionaries refashioned their opponents’ concepts of freedom as forms of bondage. Although explored in discrete fashion by historians, these discourses of religious, bodily, and commercial liberty hardly operated independently from one another. Indeed, they became increasingly entangled as the Revolution reached its imperial turn (ca. 1649-1655), accompanied as it was by the rise of the slave trade in the West Indies and debates over the nature of «free trade» that circu- lated between England and the colonies. Ultimately, to recover the entangled nature of these languages of liberty and their importance in the Revolution’s history of ideas, we must move beyond England itself and into the wider Atlantic world to grasp the material contexts that conditioned the Revolution’s discursive history.

    CONSTRUCTION INFORMATION ON THE GLEN D. PALMER DAM FISH LADDER NORTH END OF DAM) The Fish Ladder In Phase I of the project the dam spillway was modifi ed from a roller type to a four-step confi guration and added the Denil fi sh ladder adjacent to the dam’s north abutment to restore fi sh passage at the dam. The Denil style fi sh ladder, as seen in the picture to the left, consists of a con- FOX RIVER crete chute with specialized aluminum baffl es. These unique baffl es located inside the Denil fi sh ladder dissipate enough energy to allow a variety of fi sh that live in the Fox River to burst between the four segments of the fi shway. After each segment, the fi sh have an opportunity to rest before continuing to the next segment of the “ladder.” DAM The Denil fi shway is the fi rst of its kind in Illinois. To date, no other Denil style ladders have been constructed on larger rivers for reconnection purposes. This fi shway, design by HDR/Fishpro of Springfi eld, Illinois, provides native fi sh species in the Fox River an opportunity to move between the tail water below Yorkville Dam and the upper pool upstream of the dam, while leaving the el- evated pool intact. This is a major step in continuing efforts to reconnect ecologically fragmented sections of the Fox River. Opening the Denil fi shway at the Yorkville dam reconnects 41 miles of the Fox River for fi sh migration. The Denil fi sh ladder is capable of drawing water from a lower depth in the pool, reducing stagna- tion in the pool and providing water supply to the north shore of the river during low-fl ow condi- tions.

  • State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations at the End of The
    CHAP1'ER X. ANDROS AND THE ROYAL GOVERNORS, 1888-1701. The rule of Andros was looked forward to with less fear in Rhode Island than in any other colony. The establishment of this new authority in New England meant, first of all, the transference of all political power from the hands of the colonists to Andros and his council. Laws could be made from which there was no appeal, financial systems altered, and taxes levied by strangers who little understood local wants and requirements. The provision in Andros's commi8Bion allowing him to grant land upon payment of quit-rents was also fraught with much danger, particularly in this country, where soil was the chief item of wea.lth. But the most hated attack upon New England's institutions was the establishing of tolerance in. religion. In order to obtain a foothold for the Church of England, Episcopal forms and rites were introduced and the Baptist, Quakers, and other despised sects were elevated to influence at the expense of the Puritan ehurch. It was not liberty of conscience as a principle, but it signified the downfall of theocracy. All these invasions of former rights were felt most in Massachusetts, the especial object of royal interference, and leut in Rhode Island. In the latter colony there \\'8S little commerce to lay duties upon, the collecting of any tax whatever was sure to be attended with considerable difficulty, and there was no established church to feel the effects of Andros'8 attitude on religion.
