51 | "John Beckett, tailor, made out a will on 20 July 1590, naming wife Mary, sons John and William, and daughter Elizabeth, and mentions a house at Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire. He was buried 24 July 1590, four days after making out his will." (Caleb Johnson in his article "Research into the Possible Origins of Mary Buckett, wife of Mayflower Passenger George Soule" at www.soulekindred.org) | BECKETT, John (I26516)

52 | "John Brigges" was one of 29 men who signed the Second Portsmouth Compact in 30 April 1639. There were several men of the name John Briggs among the early settlers of MA and RI. This one is known as "John Briggs of Portsmouth" to distinguish him from others. | BRIGGS, John (I22372)

53 | "John Cooke alias Butcher" was made a freeman of Portsmouth, RI, on 10 July 1648 at the age of 18. In March 1656/57 he signed as one of the purchasers of Conanicut Island (Jamestown). On 14 May 1660 his parents deeded to him 60 acres of land in Portsmouth. He was a grand juryman at the Court of Trials in 1667, 1669, and 1673. His name appears in many official records of the time period. See his will dated at Portsmouth on 15 May 1691, proved 25 May 1691. The will describes John as aged. He names four sons and seven daughters, plus one granddaughter: John, Joseph, Thomas (probably the one who married Mary Cory, b. 1669), Samuel, Mary (Mrs. William Manchester; these are our ancesters), Elizabeth (Mrs. William Briggs), Sarah (Mrs. Thomas Wait), Hannah (Mrs. Daniel Wilcox), Martha (Mrs. William Cory), Deborah (Mrs. William Almy), Amy (Mrs. David Clayton), and granddaughter Sarah Manchester, plus six other unnamed daughters (or granddaughters, or daughters-in-law). According to the book "Thomas Cooke of Rhode Island," he died of smallpox. | COOKE, John "Butcher" (I01830)

54 | "John F. Elsbree of Brighton, a retired senior vice president of the State Street Bank and Trust Co., died of emphysema Sunday in St. Elizabeth's Hospital. He was 82. Mr. Elsbree was born in Methuen. After graduating from Boston Latin School, he began his banking career as an office boy in the Webster and Atlas National Bank of Boston in 1930.

56 | "Jonathan & Ardelis Remington" witnessed the will of Dinah Baker on 9 Aug 1813 at Cranston. The family farm was on Natick Rd. above Oaklawn. The story is told that he bought the land from the Indians with a peck measure of Spanish milled dollars. Many years later, someone tilling the land found such a coin, probably dropped by the Indians as they left. If true, this would seem to substantiate the story. The death entry at Warwick City Hall says Jonathan died a widower on 19 Apr 1866 at age 82, of old age. The RI Death Index identifies him as son of Benjamin & Phebe Remington. The will of Jonathan Remington of Warwick, yeoman, was dated 22 Oct 1860 and proved 14 May 1866. It mentions two sons, Ferdinand and Thomas; one daughter, Sally R; grandson William H.; and Betsey Remington widow of Thomas Remington dec'd. (Warwick book pp 231 - 233) According to the RI Cemetery Database, the cemetery is located "at 649 Natick Rd. across the wall from CR080." | Remington, Jonathan (I02822)

58 | "Joseph (unmarried) being of a roving nature and actuated by some imaginary enterprise, started with a chum on an overland trip to New Orleans. I do not know how long he was absent but it was supposed by the family he acquired considerable means and started for home by what in those days was a slow rough way of transit by ocean. After a long delay a letter came from the captain stating that he had been very ill, had died from sea sickness and was buried at sea. No money nor any of his effects ever reached the family."

61 | "Lodowick Updike I lived on the plantation between 1692 and 1736. The name Wickford had been applied to the general area since 1664, but when Updike laid out the first house lots in the present-day village of Wickford, for a while the village was known as Updike's Newtown." (source: "The Rhode Island Atlas" by Marion I. Wright and Robert J. Sullivan, Providence: RI Publications Society, 1982, p. 148) Excerpts from Charles Wilson Opdyke's The Op Dyck Genealogy, pages 85-93: "Lodowick Updike was baptised June 10, 1646, in the Dutch Church of New Amsterdam, in the presence of his father Gysbert Opdyck, and of his grandfather Richard Smith and the fiscal de La Montagne who acted as sponsors. Three years of his infancy were probably passed at Fort Hope (Hartford) where his father was commander. His childhood and youth were spent at New Amsterdam in his father's house on Stone Street or in the house "next the City Hall," and on Long Island about Hempstead and Newtown. The lad must have often accompanied his Smith grandfather and uncle in their sloop to the trading-house at Narragansett. He was eighteen years of age when the English seized the New Netherlands, and New Amsterdam became New York. "At the age of 22, Lodowick is found at Wickford joining others in a petition to Connecticut, for the protection of that government. There had been much conflict as to the jurisdiction over the Narragansett country. In 1665 the King | Updyke, Captain Lodowick (I07752)

He abandoned the sea, and with his family removed to Providence [in Saratoga County, New York] in 1787, coming from Dartmouth, Massachusetts. For several years he lived on rented lands; but finally, in 1806, he bought a small farm a mile north of Barkersville, and lived there till his death, which occurred January 7, 1837. David Sowl, of Hagedorn's Mills, and Rebecca Allen, of Amsterdam, are the only ones of his family of eight children that are now living. David Sowl has four children living in town, one daughter in Kansas, and another in Washington. One of his sons, Joseph B.

79 | "New England Marriages Prior to 1700" ( by Clarence Almon Torrey, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, 1985) gives a date of 6 Dec 1687; locale for this couple is Suffield, CT. The date may be for the marriage or for the birth of a first child. | Family F01238
|
80 | "New England Marriages Prior to 1700" lists the marriage of Daniel & Hannah, based on the birth of a child in Boston in 1671 (needs more research). | Remington, Elizabeth (I07564)
|
81 | "New England Marriages Prior to 1700" lists this marriage as about 1670, with a child born in 1671. However, if Thomas is their child, they would have been married earlier. Some of these dates and relationships were not officially recorded, and so are subject to "educated guesses" and further research of other documents and histories. I am not sure that Thomas b. 1662 is the son of Daniel & Hannah, but Boyd Scott Remington's chart shows him in this famnily, but with no source documentation given. He may have been guessing. | Family F01515

88 | "On June 24, 1635, there arrived in Massachusetts Bay a group of neighbors, nearly all related either by blood or marriage. They had sailed from Dartmouth in Devonshire May 1 of the same year, all but one of the party, William Carpenter, coming from Ilchester, in southern Somersetshire or within about five miles of that place. The leader of the party was William Arnold whose 48th birthday was the day of their arrival. His oldest son Benedict, one of the party, a lad 19 years of age at that time, has given us the only account that we have of their embarkation, in his own family record, written probably soon after his removal to Newport in 1651. They joined with Roger Williams in the settling of Providence, RI. In 1638 William moved about five miles south of Providence to the Pawtuxet River where he, with his two sons, his son-in-law, and his nephew, and others bought huge tracts of land from the Indians. With his sons Benedict and Stephen he owned nearly ten thousand acres of land and paid the highest tax in the colony. William Arnold's farm included a section of the most valuable part of the city of Newport, including the 'Old Stone Mill.' Benedict, son of William, was with his father when they went from Hingham to the Narragansett Bay in 1636. He moved to Newport in 1651 where he was very active in town affairs. In 1657, he succeeded Roger Williams as President of the colony until 1663 when he was named as the first governor which he was, with the exception of six years, until his death in 1678."
