    Notes:

    The will of Joseph Nicholson of Portsmouth, RI, husbandman, is dated 12 April 1693, proved 5 Sep 1693. It mentions seven children: Joseph, Sarah Ward w/o John; Rebecka Carr w/o Nicholas, Rachall Pebody w/o John, Dina Burrill w/o Jeames, Elizabeth Nicholson, and Jane Nicholson; grandchildren: Jane d/o son Joseph; children of Nicholas & Rebecka Carr -- Joseph, Nicholas, Jane, Caleb, Rebecka, Margaret, & Marcy; children of Jeames & Dina Burrill -- Jeames, Elizabeth, Dina, & Suzana; children of John & Sarah Ward -- Joseph & Elizabeth; children of John & Rachall Pebody -- John, Joseph, Dorothy, & Jane; friends John Easton 2nd and Walter Clarke both of Newport, overseers.

    Death record: NICHOLSON Joseph, on board ship Elizabeth, Daniel Gould, Jr., master, from Barbadoes, June, 1693.

    The following notes may refer to this couple Joseph & Jane Nicholson (source: The Ecclesiastical History of New England Vol 2):

    There are several references in this book to a Joseph Nicholson and one mentions his wife as Jane.

    On or about 7 March 1660 JN "and wife" were examined at Boston (p 218).

    On 16 Oct 1660 Quakers in prison were allowed to board a ship and return to England -- refers to JN "and wife Jane" -- but they could not be accommodated so returned to prison (p 227).

    In 1660 JN and wife were "now in prison and had been banished on pain of death" and told they must depart from the Colony "by the next 4th day" (p 220)

    Around or after 4 July 1663 JN and other men visited Newcastle and were whipped at Portsmouth, New Hampshire, then allowed to depart. After visiting the meeting house in Dover, NH, they were taken to prison and detained a fortnight, then let go (p 324).

    In Dec 1663 JN and others were called "vagabond Quakers" in Salem, Boston, & Dedham (p 312). It's unclear where they actually were at that time -- whether they had already left and were being warned to never return (as did Mary Dyer, who had gone to RI, and she was killed because she returned into MA Bay territory).

    If we assume this all refers to the same JN, it seems that he was in the Boston/Salem area in 1660, then in New Hampshire in 1663.

    The dates and location of Joseph & Jane's children could place the family in this scenario. It is possible that they left MA and went to Barbados and Martinique, and later to Rhode Island. The book mentions two other Quakers who did just that.

    Joseph married Jane Unknown Abt 1649, England. Jane was born Abt 1629, England; died Apr 1691, Newport Co., RI; was buried , Coddington Burial Ground, Farewell St., Newport, RI. [Group Sheet]


  4. 11.  Jane Unknown was born Abt 1629, England; died Apr 1691, Newport Co., RI; was buried , Coddington Burial Ground, Farewell St., Newport, RI.

    Notes:

    NICHOLSON Jane, wife of Joseph, aged 52 years, Newport, April, 1691 (RI Quaker Monthly Meeting records). I think she was more like 62 years old.

    Children:
    1. Joseph Nicholson was born 7 Nov 1650, England; died 8 Oct 1714; was buried , Coddington Burial Ground, Farewell St., Newport, RI.
    2. Sarah Nicholson was born 1 Feb 1651/52, England.

  5. 12.  Obadiah HOLMES was born Abt Mar 1609/10, Didsbury, Lancashire, England (son of Robert HULMES and Catherine JOHNSON); died 15 Oct 1682; was buried , Holmes Family Cemetery, River Rd., Middletown, RI.

    Notes:

    Obadiah and his wife and possibly son Jonathan arrived in Boston in 1638.

    Obadiah Holmes was granted land in Salem in 1639. He, along with Thomas Gardner, was granted another small piece of land in Salem 20 March 1643.

    Mr. Obadiah Holmes is on the list of purchasers, settlers, and inhabitants of Rehoboth, MA, for the year 1643. He is also on a town meeting list for June 1644; also 1645 and 1646.

    In 1652, Obadiah succeeded Rev. John Clarke as pastor of the Newport Baptist Church. He was the second pastor of that congregation, which was the second Baptist Church in the New World. He led them for almost exactly thirty years--until his death in 1682. (see: http://www.christianity.com/church/church-history/timeline/1601-1700/obadi ah-holmes-whipped-for-baptist-beliefs-11630124.html)

    Obadiah Holmes is mentioned as "my great-grandfather" in the 10 Jan 1799 will of John Holmes of Middletown, RI. John died at age 63 and is buried in the family cemetery in Middletown, RI.

    From Wikipedia: "Obadiah Holmes (1610 - 15 October 1682) was an early Rhode Island settler, and a Baptist minister who was whipped in the Massachusetts Bay Colony for his religious beliefs and activism. He became the pastor of the Baptist Church in Newport, Rhode Island, a position he held for 30 years." (see more at Wikipedia)

    His gravestone record has his birth year as 1606. However, he was baptized in England 18 March 1610.

    The will of "Obadiah Holmes of Newport on Rhode Island" is dated 9 apr 1681. It mentions wife Catherine Holmes; dtrs Mary Brown, Martha Odlin, Lydia Bowne, and Hopestill Taylor; sons Jonathan (executor), John, Obadiah, & Samuel: also grandchild Martha Brown.

    Obadiah married Katherine HYDE 20 Nov 1630, Collegiate Church, Manchester, Lancashire, England. Katherine was born Abt 1613, England; was buried , Holmes Family Cemetery, River Rd., Middletown, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    According to the book on Roger Williams' descendants, John & Mary Sayles had six children and lived on Aquidneck Island. Some lists of their children do not include Mary, Anne, or Richard, the latter two probably having died young. The dates of birth of most of these children have not yet been confirmed. When the next book is published by the Roger Williams Family Association, more research will be possible.

    John & Mary are buried near Easton's Beach, Middletown, RI.
