  • Notes 
    • Henry Tibbetts, Junior is on a list of taxes under Gov. Andros, dated 6 Sept 1687, assessing estates of the Towne of Rochester in the King's Province.

      According to "The History of East Greenwich, Rhode Island, 1677-1960, With Related Genealogy," by Martha R. McPartland (East Greenwich Free Library Assoc., 1960), Henry was born about 1640, was living in Kingstown in 1663, and died in 1713. He came to East Greenwich between 1690 and 1708 and built a home on Frenchtown Road. The Henry Tibbitts House, built before 1708, was given to John, son of Henry, in his will. This house is still in East Greenwich, at 1786 Frenchtown Road, and is owned and lived in by descendants of Henry, John Gifford Tibbitts and his son, Gifford C. Tibbitts. Some very old family furnishing are in the house, such as a maple desk originally owned by Esther Whitford Tibbitts.

      Austin's book on early RI families has Henry's date of death as 27 Dec 1702.
