  • Notes 
    • A 1684/5 petition by Mary Litchfield of Dorchester, MA, addressed to the governor, deputy governor, and assistants of MA Bay Colony, requested a divorce for her daughter Mary (Long) Adams from her then husband Peter Adams, so she might marry Henry Straight "of Narrowganset." Thus, Mary could not be the mother of Henry's sons born in the 1670s. (source: Patricia R. Reed, "Henry Straight of Portsmouth and East Greenwich, RI, and His Family" in "Rhode Island Roots" Vol 40 No 3 pp 115ff; she quotes Theodore S. Lazell)
