Stukeley came from England to Salem, MA, where he was a freeman in 1636; his name is given in the records as "Stuky Wesket." He joined the Baptists and was banished from Massachusetts. He soon joined Roger Williams in Providence, RI, where he was one of the grantees in Roger Williams's deed of 8 Oct 1638. He signed the Providence agreement in 1640. He was also one of the founding members of the First Baptist Church in America. Stukeley later located with Samuell Gorton's group at Warwick, where records show he lived on 5 June 1648. He was Commissioner 1651-1653, and in 1655 and 1660. He was Assistant in 1653, and Deputy for Warwick in 1671. During King Philip's War he left Warwick and went to Portsmouth for safety.
