  • Notes 
    • "Our fifth Son named Oliver was born the 25th July 1655 at Newport on Rhode Island: it being Wednesday about 8 or 9 clock (or past) before noon."

      Oliver's will mentions his wife Phebe; son Oliver; daughters Damaris, Phebe, Patience, Mary , & Sarah -- all unmarried and under 18; brothers Capt. Caleb & Capt. Josias Arnold; nephew Oliver, son of Caleb; and his wife's kinswoman Abigail Remington, daughter of Daniel Remington. Abigail was the daughter of Phebe's niece, Sarah (Parker) Remington. Abigail would have been age 11, and possibly an orphan by this time.
