• Notes

  I have estimated Henry's year of birth. On 13 April 1741, a Henry Northup of North Kingstown petitioned the Town Council of South Kingstown concerning the administration of the estate of Phillis Smith, deceased, mother of Hopestill (Smith) Northup. In the records of the Exeter Town Council of 9 October 1759, Hopestill is referred to as the widow of Henry Northup late of North Kingstown deceased. This suggests that Hopestill, widow of Joseph Northup, married either her brother-in-law Henry after his first wife died, or her deceased husband's nephew, and that Hopestill was widowed a second time before 9 October 1759. I have made an assumption that Hopestill married this particular Henry Northup, b.c. 1688. I have not been able to find out names of any children Henry & Hopestill may have had together. Was Henry married before he married Hopestill? One genealogy has a Henry Northup of this time frame marrying a Mary Eldred.
