The following two gems are from Rehoboth records: 1. "Nov. 25, 1663. Voted, that Alexander, the Irishman, a brick-maker,should be freely approved among us, for to make brick, and should have free liberty to make use of the clay and wood on the common for that purpose." 2. "May 22, 1665. Sam the Indian that keeps the cows, was admitted to the rights of citizenship within the colony." Tilton in his History of Rehboth Massachusetts cites a source that claims Sam was the only Indian admitted to the town. I would assume the same for Alexander and that any Irish were unwelcome. BC
