There is a book " Little Compton Families" by Benjamin Franklin Wilbour that may be of some help to you. It lists the genealogy of the original settlers of Little Compton. I have seen it for sale on the Internet but can't remember where, Evertons maybe. I found it in the Denver CO Public Library. You might try a library near you. Wilbour wrote a couple of books about Little Compton. If you live in the area of Little Compton you might check the county seat for Bristol County MA. I think it's Taunton. At one time Little Compton and Tiverton were part of Massachusetts. The New Bedford Free Public Library has quite a bit of genealogy information on Little Compton and the surrounding area. People moved often in those times so you might also check Massachusetts towns and cities like Westport, Fall River, Freetown, New Bedford, and Dartmouth. Also all Newport County RI towns.
