continued from part 1. "At an early age Anne Marbury married William Hutchinson, described as 'a very honest, peaceable man of good estate' and later referred to by Governor Winthrop as 'a man of a very mild temper and weak parts, and wholly guided by his wife.' During the last few years that Mr. and Mrs. Hutchinson spent in England, Anne must have been well aware of the fact that people all about her were engaged in a relentless struggle for their rights against the Crown. Everywhere people were studying the Bible, pondering over its meanings, rebelling against the arbitrary dictates of the Bishops. Since her father was a Puritan clergyman, she probably shared his sorrow over the persecution of her friend, the Reverend John Cotton, and this incident in her life may have aroused her indignation to the point where she resolved to leave England and follow Cotton across the ocean to the new world where she and her family could continue to benefit by his teachings. At any rate, she left England with her husband and a large brood of children in 1634 and made the crossing to Boston on the ship 'Griffin', and it has been recorded that the family fortune brought along to America amounted to nearly one thousand guineas in gold. Until the new Hutchinson home could be built in Boston, Anne and some of her many children found shelter in the home of her beloved idol, the Reverend John Cotton, and for the three years that the family remained in Boston the homestead was directly across the street from that of John Winthrop and soon the Hutchinson fireside became 'the social center of the town.' Anne proved to be not only a capable, energetic and amiable person, but also an efficient nurse. As she went from home to home on errands of mercy, she would talk with the young women unto whom she ministered, and gradually won their complete affection and respect. In fact, both men and women welcomed her intellectual and magnetic personality, for she had a vigorous mind, dauntless courage and a natural gift for leadership." continued in part 3.

Hi Patti, It may not be the same Davis family , but I have a John Davis (no dates) who m. Mary Tall ( could be Tallman). Their dau. Eunice Davis, b.

MacGunnigle as living in Providence. The men are John Davis (possibly a minister) and his brother William, the latter of whom was said to be a "high sheriff of Providence" in 1755 when he died. Both emigrated to RI circa 1732, they were brothers, and the sons of William Davis of Buckingham, England (see Davis book, last 2 para below). In the MacGunnigle book above there are 3 John's listed - for Warren, Newport, and Glocester. In the MacGunnigle book above there are 4 William's listed - for Little Compton, Westerly, Westerly (son of Peter so this isn't my William), and E. Greenwich. The following is from a Davis family history book: "...William, the eldest son, was already trained in mercantile pursuits in his native England, engaged in the grocery business in his new home (America). Deeply interested in questions which stirred the public mind, he was elected or appointed successively to several public offices. While holding the office of high sheriff of Providence Plantation (county) death came to him suddenly at the breakfast table of a hotel, where he had spent the night in 1755, and made orphans of his motherless sons, Gaius and Barnabas. ..." "John was educated for the Church of England, was ordained, and continued in the ministry until after the death of his brother William, when he returned to England." Does anyone have any thoughts about how I might try to search the potential resources for William and John. I was disappointed not to find them listed for Providence. I have looked in a number of books listing ministers, but have yet to find one that lists John Davis in the correct time frame. I have not had any luck finding corroborating evidence for William's 1755 death nor anything that corroborates his holding any type of office. However the Davis family history book was written by a judge and I have been able to corroborate almost all of his succeeding generations data so I imagine he had some realistic basis for making these statement. I have not found a book listing men of trades for that early in time; any suggestions?

Bill - Lucky for you, your ancestors are very long lived - In 1860 there is a William Grant age 22 from Nova Scotia, a carpenter, living in what looks like a boarding house? Jessie MacDougall is not with him. I can't find him 1870. He's back in 1880 William, age 41 b. Nova Scotia with wife Jessie 35? b. Nova Scotia William's parents were both born in Scotland, and Jessie's were both born in Nova Scotia. They have 4 children - Robert E. 9 b Nova Scotia William F. 8 Mary A. 6 Elizabeth 2 the last 3 children were born in RI, so it looks like he married Jessie in Nova Scotia, had Robert there, then they came back to RI at least by 1872, when William was born. They are living at 83 Lippett St, Providence In 1900 they are living at 155 Lippett St. Providence William b. July 1838, carpenter, arrived 1872 , in the US 28 yrs, looks like Na Jessie b. Nov. 1844 William F. b. Apr 1872 M. Alice b. Sept 1874 Elizabeth b. June 1877 I think I found Robert - he's a boarder with Charles & Melissa Briggs in Warwick. I went back a few pages, but I couldn't find a street name. Robert E. b. Dec 1870 Nova Scotia arrived 1872, in the US 28, NA he is a physician, and single. In 1910 they are living in East Providence RI - 3176 or 3196 Pawtucket Ave William 71, carpenter married 40 yrs Jessie 65 Robert 38 is divorced, physician with his own practice Mary A. 33 single, teacher, public school Elizabeth G. 30 single, teacher, public school William the son is not with them, and I haven't been able to find him. In 1920 William is 81 and Jessie is 75. they are living in East Providence still, at 3196 Pawtucket Ave. they say they arrived in 1858 and were naturalized in 1880. Living with them is Catherine Grant, William's sister. None of the children are living with them. I think I found William the son in New Jersey - 107 Fairmount Rd, Ridgewood, Bergen, NJ Wife Janet, children Margaret,9 Mary 8, Janet 6, Robert 4 5/12 It looks like his occupation could be lawyer, but it is hard to read. I can't find Robert or the girls. By 1930, I'm not having much luck finding anyone. Maybe someone can look for William's children in NJ.

continued from part 4. "In a short while Roger Williams succeeded in inducing Anne Hutchinson and her company to abandon her original idea of journeying on to Long Island or Delaware and there to found a permanent settlement. Through the efforts and encouragement of Roger Williams the group decided to form a settlement on the Island of Aquidneck, of the Island of Rhode Island (the present area comprising Portsmouth, Middletown and Newport). Subsequently, the island was purchased from the Indians and the settlement grew rapidly as other persons were forced to leave Boston by the arbitrary measures of the authorities. At Aquidneck, as at Providence, was established a government which recognized the great principle of soul liberty; and the little colony continued to increase and prosper under this benign influence of spiritual freedom, and at length became so populous as to send out settlers to the adjacent shores. After the death of her husband, which occurred in 1642, Mrs. Hutchinson moved to New York where her life was suddenly ended by a tragedy. In August, 1643, Anne Hutchinson and the fifteen members of her household at the time, with one exception, perished at the hands of the Indians. There is much more to tell about that settlement on the Island of Aquidneck; many of those who accompanied this outstanding woman leader of her times played important parts in the history of the area that is today known as Rhode Island; but you have heard the surprising story of the one who led the way. Her career in this vicinity was not so exciting and full of human interest as was her period of residence in Massachusetts. However, she takes her place among the immortals of these pleasant shores that harbored both leaders and followers who had the courage of their convictions and who risked all to enjoy religious freedom which they believed was the basic principle of a free state."

from the Providence Institution for Savings "The Old Stone Bank" History of Rhode Island, Vol. III by John Williams Haley, "The Rhode Island Historian" published by Providence Institution for Savings, 1939. pp. 30 - 33. "ANNE HUTCHINSON. In any fairly complete review of the Rhode Island narrative, one of the first individuals to draw the spotlight of attention from Roger Williams, once the Providence settlement was established, we find to be a woman, a woman of remarkable vision, power and spirit, and also the mother of fourteen children. Her name was Mrs. Anne Hutchinson, probably the first American champion of women's rights, and probably the first of her sex to challenge openly the inherited authorities, privileges and prerogatives of the so-called 'stronger' sex. Her life story is interesting; certain of her ideas concerning spiritual matters are difficult to interpret, but she influenced events and their turnings not only in Rhode Island but in the infant nation during the very beginnings of American history. Anne Marbury was born in England at some time during the last years of the reign of Queen Elizabeth; it is generally agreed that the date of her birth was in the neighborhood of 1594, when religious controversies were approaching their height in that troubled nation. Her father was a Puritan minister, preaching both in Lincolnshire and in London. Her mother was a sister of Sir Edward Dryden, father of the poet, and Anne was said to have enjoyed every advantage of education and culture that the time afforded. While she was still a child, Queen Elizabeth died and James I became the King. King James desired most intensely 'An ordered and obedient Church, its synods that met at the royal will, its courts that carried out the royal ordinances, its bishops that held themselves to be royal officers.' The Puritans disputed this royal policy of making men obey the word of the crown in matters both civil and spiritual, but their objections availed little except continued and more severe persecution." continued in part 2.
