  • Notes 
    • Henry first appears in records at Portsmouth on 21 December 1667.
    • Henry's occupation was wheelwright.
    • Henry and family moved from Portsmouth to East Greenwich sometime around 1678. There he held several civic positions -- town constable, deputy to the RI General Assembly, and member of a grand jury.

      His land, which previously had been awarded to Henry Brightman, was located on the south side of Middle Rd., near where it meets Carrs Pond Rd.
