I am hoping someone on the list will be able to assist me with a look-up. I believe my ancestor Samuel Allen was born 6 Jun 1745 in Tiverton--previously Bristol Co., Mass., but by that date in Newport Co., RI. Does anyone have the vital records to look for his birth record? I am hoping he is the son of Gideon Allen and Elizabeth (Hoxie) Allen, but so far haven't been able to prove the crucial links. The family is in Dartmouth, MA, afterwards, but at Gideon's 1742 marriage he was from Tiverton and I'm hoping their children were born there. ANY help would be appreciated, as Rhode Island research is completely new to me. Thank you, Andrea Crowell ACrowell@email.msn.com
