  • Notes 
    • On 13 April 1747 Samuel sold the ferry pier and adjoining land on Warwick Neck to Joseph Nichols of Middletown. The "Warwick Ferry" operated up until the Revolutionary War. The land and pier were later owned by Benjamin Greene of East Greenwich, and then by his son William, who owned much of Warwick Neck.
