  1. 2.  John OLIN, I was born Abt 1680, Bedfordshire, England; died 28 Mar 1742, North Kingstown, RI.

    Notes:

    It has been said that John Olin came to America at age 14. He most likely landed at Providence around 1694.

    John & Susannah were married in 1708 at East Greenwich, and that is where their four known children were born. In 1725 they moved to North Kingstown, where they had bought 22 1/2 acres from Aaron & Mary Davis. John had been a "freeman" at East Greenwich, but in North Kingstown he was a landowning "yeoman."

    John died at age 62 on his farm at North Kingstown, which had been deeded in 1741 to his daughter Eleanor and her husband Benjamin Carpenter. Although no one has discovered the location of John's & Susannah's burial site, probably their graves are on the old farm at North Kingstown.
