  1. 2.  Immanuel Northup was born 17 Jun 1699, North Kingstown, RI (son of Henry Northup and Mary Kingsley); died 28 May 1790; was buried , Elm Grove Cemetery, North Kingstown, RI.

    Notes:

    The will of Immanuel, "far advanced in years," mentions sons George and Carr, deceased, and son John, (possibly) deceased; a daughter Elizabeth Gardner, and another daughter who married a Mr. Tillinghast. The following grandchildren are mentioned: Henry s/o George dec.; Christopher s/o Carr dec.; John Holmes & Jeremiah G., sons of John; George, Wanton, & Sarah Gardner; Henry & Abigail Ann (?) Tillinghast; and Nicholas Carr Northup, Clarke Northup, & George Northup, possibly sons of Henry.

    Immanuel married Ann Carr 11 Mar 1745/46, Jamestown, RI. Ann (daughter of Nicholas Carr and Frances Holmes) was born Abt 1720. [Group Sheet]


  2. 3.  Ann Carr was born Abt 1720 (daughter of Nicholas Carr and Frances Holmes).

    Notes:

    I have roughly estimated the birth year of Ann. The marriage record identifies her as daughter of Nicholas & Frances Carr.

    Notes:

    Immanuel & Ann were married by Daniel Weeden, Warden.

    Children:
    1. 1. Carr Northup was born 1 Apr 1747, North Kingstown, RI; died 22 Sep 1774; was buried , Elm Grove Cemetery, North Kingstown, RI.
    2. Anne Northup was born 21 Aug 1749; died 14 Jan 1777.


Generation: 3

  1. 4.  Henry Northup was born 1663 (son of Stephen Northup); died Abt Oct 1740, North Kingstown, RI.

    Notes:

    The will of Henry Northup, yeoman of North Kingstown, mentions one son, named Immanuel; and mentions the following daughters: a daughter (likely Patience), wife of John Congdon; Susannah, wife of John Pinder; Mary, wife of Jeffrey Champlin; and other daughters under 18 and single, whose names have been burned off the will.

    His wife Mary is not mentioned in the will, which suggests she may have predeceased him. The marriage record of son Immanuel identifies his parents as Henry & Mary.

    It is possible that his first wife Mary died, and he married another woman named Mary. Could he have married Mary Eldred, as one genealogy suggests? Some family researchers may have confused two or more Henry Northups of this time period. For the time being, I am assuming there was one Mary for this particular husband.

    Henry & Mary Northup signed a deed dated 13 March 1711/12, along with Thomas & Hannah Place. Another record states that Henry Northup & Thomas Place bought land in a partnership about March 1716/17.

    Henry married Mary Kingsley Abt 1688. Mary was born Abt 1665; died Between 13 Mar 1711/12 and 1740. [Group Sheet]


  2. 5.  Mary Kingsley was born Abt 1665; died Between 13 Mar 1711/12 and 1740.

    Notes:

    Mary's maiden name was given in RI Genealogical Register, Vol. 4, No. 2, p. 149, "A Line of Descent from Benjamin Congdon." However, I am not sure it is correct, as there was another couple named Henry & Mary (Kingsley) Northup in South Kingstown in the mid-1800s. Was someone confused?

    In another genealogy, her name is given as Mary Cary.

    Children:
    1. Benjamin Northup was born Abt 1690.
    2. Mary Northup was born Abt 1692.
    3. Susannah Northup was born Abt 1695.
    4. 2. Immanuel Northup was born 17 Jun 1699, North Kingstown, RI; died 28 May 1790; was buried , Elm Grove Cemetery, North Kingstown, RI.
    5. Patience Northup was born 1705; died 1800.

  3. 6.  Nicholas Carr was born 19 Sep 1679, RI (son of Nicholas Carr and Rebecca Nicholson); died 20 Jul 1760, Newport, RI.

    Notes:

    The 1760 will of Nicholas Carr mentions his wife Mary; daughters Frances Spencer, Mary Underwood, and Ann Northup; and several grandchildren.

    Nicholas married Frances Holmes 16 May 1706, Jamestown, RI. Frances (daughter of John Holmes and Mary Sayles) was born Abt 1685; died Abt 1725. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    Frances is mentioned as Frances Carr in the will of both of her parents.

    1. 3. Ann Carr was born Abt 1720.


Generation: 4

  1. 8.  Stephen Northup was born Abt 1634.

    Notes:

    Notes extracted from RI Genealogical Register, Vol. 3, No. 1, pp. 73ff (in some places quoting Bates & Chatfield; other info from John O. Austin's Genealogical Dictionary of RI):

    The first record of Stephen Northup in RI was on 2 Oct 1655 when the town meeting of Providence granted to him 25 acres of land. Also, on 27 August 1656, it was ordered that Stephen Northup have a home-lot laid out to him, bordering Christopher Smith's lot; also, that he have "commonage" equal to any other townsman; and that he be able to vote with the other townsmen. [This suggests he was at least age 21 by this time.]

    John O. Austin states that Stephen Northup was made a freeman in 1658, but the above date seems more likely to be correct.

    It is believed that Stephen's house and lot were at the north end of town, from the description in the deed. It was probably destroyed in King Philip's War.

    On 27 July 1659, Stephen sold to William Carpenter 60 acres at Rocky Hill [possibly in the area of present-day Rt. 2 in East Greenwich/North Kingstown, near fairgrounds/flea market]. On 4 June 1660 he was elected Towne Sargeant at Providence. During his term of service, John Clawson, a Dutchman, was murdered by an Indian not far from Stephen's house. Stephen spent a day warning the inhabitants of the town about the prisoner, and four days in taking the prisoner to Newport and attending the trial there. For these services, Stephen received 3 shillings per day.

    On 8 February 1662, Stephen Northup sold to William Hawkins all rights between the Pawtucket and Pawtuxet Rivers. On 28 March 1666 he witnessed a deed in Providence, but his name is not on a list of inhabitants who took the oath of allegiance to the king on 31 May 1666. He had probably already moved to "Kings Towne" by this date.

    On 19 May 1671, Stephen Northup took the oath of allegiance at Kings Towne (per J. O. Austin). He bought land there sometime before 5 December 1679 (settlement of the Pettaquamscutt Purchase). His property consisted of about 120 acres near the present location of the Gilbert Stuart Homestead in Saunderstown.

    It has been suggested that Stephen's wife may have been a daughter of Benjamin Harrington (see RIGR, Vol. 3, No. 1, p. 75; various reasons).

    In August of 1672, Stephen Northup was summoned by the colony of CT to appear there in court concerning land in RI claimed by CT. Stephen refused to obey the summons, declaring his submission to the authorities in RI.

    His name appears for the last time in the official records, when on 6 September 1687 he was taxed by Gov. Andros.
