I have always know her as Margaret Stafford. I believe there was a document at the time of Rufus murder, stating that his wife, Margaret Stafford was to inherit with land to go to son Benjamin at her death. I believe that my aunt Ruth Barton had documented that. She used to pour through the old records at Warwick City Hall. I believe those documents have now are not allowed to be touched, but I think were transferred to microfilm a few years ago. Also one of the early books disappeared for a while, but I think was found. I also did get to look at that first record book way back in the 1950's. Went with Aunt and she introduced me to it. I have that Margaret Stafford married Rufus in England, she being from Salisbury England. I believe that info to be correct. I also believe that there were four brothers that came to America together. Landing at New Amsterdam (NY) One stayed there, Rufus went directly to settlement of Roger Williams at Providence RI, and one to Mass. I can't remember what the family lore on the fourth. Also we have never found ANY documentation of the parentage of those brothers. I have seen some lists on the internet listing Edward, and another listing Samuel. I think both are not correct. Someday with all the ancient files becoming accessable via microfilm etc. we may find the link. At the present, I will discard the idea of Margaret Hunniwell/Honeywell. It is possible that Edward married such a Margaret, and had a Rufus, but the RI Rufus was here in or before 1642. His son Benjamin was born in Warwick in 1645, and married Susannah Gorton, dau. of Samuel & Elizabeth Gorton. This Benjamin had quite a parcel of children. I have 5 listed on my computer, but I believe there were more. I saw Arnold's History of South County families(not positive of the whole name of book) In it all the children of the first three or four generations are listed. Not sure if that book is still able to be seen. I did some poor xerox copies over 25 years ago, and the book was in poor shape then. Also those old copies have faded a good bit. I have buried them someplace to keep them away from light, but not sure where they are just now. "Out of sight, out of mind". Please copy me if anyone can document the brothers, or a parent. Rufus' parents were not mentioned in the original Warwick records. Hope I have helped someone have a brainsstorm. Oh, I was always told that we were English. Didn't know about the Scottish or Welch. That's interesting. Today I met an Adelaide Barton (maiden name) who is decended from Issac Barton, whom she says came from Killcomonbegg, Ireland circa 1714. That's a new one on me. I did not know our heritage might have Irish. Not necessarily good or bad. Just interesting. We are what we are. Gives it a new twist. Well, enough I think, Can't remember any more at the moment. Got to look for those Xerox copies. The extra siblings may shed some light. Keep in touch Dorothy. That John must be there, The earliest John on my list was b. 1744, m. Mercy Card. I know you know about that one. I don't recall any John Jr.'s ....As Ever, Betsey
