  • Notes 
    • All of James's children except Daniel were named in the will of Isbel Berton, dated 26 Jan 1721/22 at Warwick, RI.

      James resided at Nausauket, in Warwick, RI, where he built a house in 1687 (source: "New England Families, Genealogical and Memorial" by William Richard Cutter; Google Books). This is the area where I grew up; my grammar school was Nausauket School.

      In the Warwick records James is referred to as Ensign, Lieutenant, and Captain.
