  • Notes 
    • See East Greenwich will dated 5 Oct 1732, proved 4 Nov 1732. This names these sons and daughters. There were two younger children, Henry and Rebeckah, who died in early infancy. Subsequent children received the same names.

      I have estimated his birth year, pending further research.
    • He probably married second to Mary Webb at Warwick, 1 Aug 1725. In this ceremony, Mary was wearing "only a shift," signifying that this was a "shift marriage" in which the woman's new spouse was protected from debts of her previous marriage because he could be held responsible only for what she held on her person.
