  • Notes 
    • The will of Henry Northup, yeoman of North Kingstown, mentions one son, named Immanuel; and mentions the following daughters: a daughter (likely Patience), wife of John Congdon; Susannah, wife of John Pinder; Mary, wife of Jeffrey Champlin; and other daughters under 18 and single, whose names have been burned off the will.

      His wife Mary is not mentioned in the will, which suggests she may have predeceased him. The marriage record of son Immanuel identifies his parents as Henry & Mary.

      It is possible that his first wife Mary died, and he married another woman named Mary. Could he have married Mary Eldred, as one genealogy suggests? Some family researchers may have confused two or more Henry Northups of this time period. For the time being, I am assuming there was one Mary for this particular husband.

      Henry & Mary Northup signed a deed dated 13 March 1711/12, along with Thomas & Hannah Place. Another record states that Henry Northup & Thomas Place bought land in a partnership about March 1716/17.
