His parents were Philip (1708 Rehoboth, Mass - 1799)and Submit BALLARD. Philip's parents were Philip (26 Jan 1669/70 - 17 March 1746/47) and Ithamar WARFIELD. This Philip was the son of Roger Amadowne, the original immigrant, and Joanna HARWOOD. Therefore, Roger Amadowne would be the third great-grandfather of Noredon and Alidon Amidon.
