  1. 4.  George Gardner was born 1600; died 1677, Newport, RI.

    Notes:

    It is not know just when and how George Gardner came to America. He first appeared at Portsmouth, RI, in 1638. He was admitted as an inhabitant of Aquidneck (the island on which Newport is situated) in October of 1639, and was made a freeman of Newport on 17 Dec 1639. On 17 Mar 1641/42 he was chosen Constable & Senior Sergeant of Newport.

    Shortly after this, George began a close relationship with Herodias (Long) Hicks, wife of John Hicks of MA, RI, and later of Long Island, NY. George & Herodias eventually lived together in a common law marriage, while John Hicks divorced Herodias and moved to Long Island, where he remarried.

    George & Herodias lived together for over 20 years and had at least seven children together: Benoni, Henry, George William, Nicholas, Dorcas, & Rebecca. However, the couple separated in 1665. Around this time a man named John Porter separated from his wife Margaret, and not long afterwards he married Herodias.

    George then married Lydia, daughter of Robert Ballou of Portsmouth, RI, and Boston, MA. George & Lydia had five children: Joseph, Robert, Mary, Lydia, & Peregrine. After George's death c.1677, Lydia remarried to William Hawkins of Providence, and had four children with him.

    George married Herodias Long Between 1641 and 1645. Herodias was born 1623. [Group Sheet]


  2. 5.  Herodias Long was born 1623.

    Notes:

    Boyd Scott Remington's ancestry chart has her surname as Hicks. However, that was the surname of her first husband.

    3. Henry Gardner was born Abt 1645; died 26 Apr 1744, South Kingstown, RI.
    4. Dorcas Gardner was born Abt 1650.

  3. 6.  Robert CARR was born 4 Oct 1614, London, Middlesex, England (son of Benjamin CARR and Martha HARDINGTON); died Between 20 Apr and 4 Oct 1681, Newport, RI.

    Notes:

    The following information is paraphrased from a summary posted online by Roger Courser (see RDCourser@excite.com]:

    Robert came to America with his brother Caleb on the ship "Elizabeth & Ann," commanded by Captain Roger Cooper, sailing from London on 9 May 1635. On this shipping record is listed: Caleb Carr, age 11; and Robert Carr, age 21, described as a "taylor." Both brothers were considered minors at the time, and were sent to America after the death of their parents to live with their uncle William Carr, who had previously come, and lived in Bristol with his wife Susan.

    The young brothers eventually settled in Newport, RI and were recognized as freemen there. (See Records of the National Society of Colonial Dames of America, Rhode Island, p. 92 in RI Manual; also see "Little Compton Families" by Benjamin Franklin Wilbour.) Robert was admitted as an inhabitant of Portsmouth on 21 Feb 1639, and as a freeman in Newport, 16 March 1641. He is said to be one of the original purchasers of the island of Conanicut (Jamestown) from the Indians. This transaction also included property in Newport.

    Both Caleb and Robert were associates of William Coddington, who came from Boston, Lincolnshire, England, as one of the original members of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629. He was one of the leading merchants in Boston, MA, during its early years. In 1637, a group of people led by William Coddington left Boston, MA, because of unresolved religious differences. This group went south to Providence, RI, and conferred with Roger Williams, who had established his settlement on the premise of liberty of religious conscience. With the aid of Mr. Williams, the group purchased from the Indians the large island of Aquidnick and founded the town of Pacassit (later called Portsmouth). In 1639, again because of differences, Coddington separated from Anne Hutchinson's family and moved to the south end of the island to lay out a new settlement called Newport. It is believed that Robert adopted the beliefs of the society of Friends and was known as a Quaker. His will was dated 20 April 1681.

    In addition to the above information on Robert, the following is exerpted from "The Carr Ancestry of Richmond Carr of Portsmouth, RI," by Francis Richmond Sears, published in "Genealogies of RI Families, Vol I," pp. 108 ff, also on Family Tree Maker CD 180:

    Robert is frequently referred to in official documents which record various transactions and appointments. For example, on 11 June 1677 the Assembly met at his house at 8 o'clock in the morning. On 15 Nov 1678 he was given L1.4s by the Assembly for service done by his son Caleb and his sloop, in transporting Magistrates to Narragansett. Other records give details of deeds or the amount he paid in taxes.

    His will mentions: "my loving wife," eldest son Caleb, daughter Mary & son-in-law John Hicks, son Robert, daughter Elizabeth & son-in-law James Brown, son Esek, and daughter Margaret. Appointed as overseers were "my brother Caleb Carr" and Walter Clarke.
