I did contact URI and I still have not been able to get his name. But I do know that he attended URI in 1962 and was not a senior. I should listen to my own advice. I have been working out a time line. I know his best friend was .....O'Reilly from Newport. I could not find a SSDI for any O'Reilly in Newport for Thelma and Thomas, who were his parents. The property was sold in 1984, so they probably moved. I will keep trying to remember of another way to narrow the time line.

In the history of Portsmouth, NH - there is mentioned one Timothy Watrous Jr. - he left previous to 1738 for Newport from that town to join the Quakers at Newport. The date of his marriage was 1738 to Hannah Proud @ Newport - some have her as daughter of John and Rebecca Proud of Newport - a watchmaker. The book on Portsmouth,NH states that Timothy had eleven sons. Not sure how they know this ? can anyone say - will ? records of the colony ? Timothy died at Newport in 1792. Sometimes this name is written Waters - Waterous and Waterhouse. Of interest to me is the presence of a son named John b. ca 1754. he was a mariner. Many of the Newport marine people went to Providence during the Revolution and stayed. Timothy of Portsmouth had two brothers - both listed as nautical captains in a census of Portsmouth,NH in 1727. John Watrous of Providence was a ships rigger and of interest to me in connecting him with Timothy of Newport as his father. Opinions always welcome. Jack Scott Hanover,Pa

I just wanted to clarify that a non-resident can get a card at the PPL, but unfortunately it is not free. The newspaper access is great, but it doesn't help if you need things before 1983. I never did get a card at Woonsocket - same reason - I couldn't justify the fee.
