Prudence Island is, I am almost positive, part of the Town of Portsmouth (Newport County), so vital records should be found in Portsmouth. I am not aware of any churches that ever existed on Prudence Island. The island had no historic connection with Kingstowne (later North and South Kingstown) that I know of. The only public access is by ferry from Bristol to the central east side of the island, across the central passage of Narragansett Bay from Portsmouth. The only protected harbor is Potters Cove, which is managed by the state -- Potters Cove is near the NE corner of the island. The southern end of the island has been off limits for years with underground munitions bunkers associated with the Newport Naval Base. The SW corner of the island was the site of a late 19th century Methodist church camp that never really took off. As a kid growing up on Narragansett Bay, there were no public roads on the island, so one could drive there at any age without a license, but since a car did not need to be registered there, most could barely run. Prudence Island is now quietly being grabbed by knowing insiders for vacation lots. JIM GIBBS

Naturally I need to check the primary source and will do so when I can visit an FHC or return to New England this summer. Unfortunately that will be several months from now. Its possible that the transcriber erred in reading the name in the deeds. Daniel and David might easily resemble each other, depending on how they were written. The n and the v could be similar and both names end with a letter that could loop and cause one to misread. Im inclined to believe that Daniel LEWIS was the father of Mary who married John LANGWORTHY. Ultimate confirmation has to wait. I greatly appreciate your taking time to consider this matter and to provide me with sound feedback. David Hoffman -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Choose from over 50 domains or use your own

I can then tell you if there is information that would be useful to you on the CD and in the book. Although the book contains 42 chapters covering 42 different family names, the primary focus is on CROSS, GREENE, KENYON, LEWIS, PERRY, SEGAR.

Hi, I noted that there were some other Barbers who joined the SDB church the same day Amos did as well as others who joined near that time - have you looked to see if they may be related?

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Amesbury, Barber, Burdick, Champlin, Clark(e), Lanphere, Stillman Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XcB.2ACE/315 Message Board Post: The "brick wall" referenced in the subject line is the parentage, both paternal and maternal, of my earliest-known BARBER ancestor, one Amos. According to Francis D. Stillman Jr.'s 1989 "The Stillman Family" (and I have absolutely NO idea where Mr. Stillman got this information)Amos was born in Hopkinton 15 June 1765 and died in North Stonington, New London County, Connecticut in 1845. According to the records of what is now the First Hopkinton Seventh-day Baptist Church in Ashaway, Amos became a member of that church on 1 April 1786 (the day of "an exceeding snow storm"). He is listed as resident in Westerly, with one male 16 and over, one male under 16 and one female in his household in the first Federal census in 1790. That he married Keturah, daughter of John and Mary "Molly" (CLARK[E]) STILLMAN (born Westerly 28 September 1762, according to Francis Stillman Jr.) is shown by their mention in a 1792 Westerly probate record (6A:97, 260 according to Alden Beaman's "Wash! ington County Marriages From Probate Records," page 26). That the marriage took place sometime prior to 1790 is shown both by the 1790 census record and by his eldest son, Amos Jr.'s, 1832 obituary, which lists the age of the deceased as 42. (Amos Jr. left a widow, Lucinda [nee CHAMPLIN, daughter of Paris and Sabara (BURDICK) CHAMPLIN] and six children.)Other children were: Polly (probably named for her maternal grandmother, Mary (CLARK[E]) STILLMAN); Keturah (b. Westerly 9 September 1796, d. Westerly 1 September 1856) who married (as his second wife) Clarke LANPHERE; Henry (mentioned as deceased in an 1816 probate record - Beaman's "Washington County Births From Probate Records" page 23); and John (born Westerly 23 May 1800, died Napa, California 16 July 1870) who married (19 February 1826) Julia Ann AMESBURY. Can anyone help me solve the mystery of Amos Sr.'s parentage and early life? If you can, please do! Thank you in advance, and happy (ancestor) hunting! M. J. Barber
Hi, According to the Descendants of Richard Card, an article which appeared in the Ri Genealogical Register, your Fanny is indeed the daughter of Samuel Card and Mary Holloway. Mary was the d/o Samuel Holloway of Newport. Samuel's Card line is Jonathan 4 Job 3-2 Richard 1. I do not descend from either of these families so I cannot attest to the accuracy of the info in the article. I am sure there are people who can give you more info on wives, etc. Good luck, Donna Potter in RI

Hi Bill, I'm interested in your book. I'm sure to have something in common. I'm Judy - Judith Crandall Harbold. I live in Central Massachusetts, but currently am wintering in Florida. I'm the president of the Crandall Family Association and am researching Crandall. I'm particularly looking into any and all references I can find on Elder John Crandall and the second generation - especially John, Jane who married Job Babcock, and Eber who are my lines. My mother is a Hoxie and her line connects me to several of the other names you mention, including Perry, Kenyon. Another particular interest, on which I've done considerable primary research is John Millard from Westerly/Charlestown and Westerly/Hopkinton between about 1730 and 1778 or so when they moved to Rensselaer County, New York. They connect with Benjamin Braman and back to Jane Crandall Babcock. My mother's Hoxie line also connects back to Crandall through Eber Crandall. While I've done considerable work in the Westerly, Charlestown and Hopkinton Town records, I would rather not duplicate your efforts. I'm looking forward to hearing from you and seeing your book - in one form or another. Thanks for your offer, Judy
In tracking down the LANGWORTHYs, I came across extracts of deeds for Westerly online and found the following item: Westerly, RI Deeds Vol. 7 Pages 92-3, John Lewis & Anna his wife, Robert Burdick & Dorcas his wife and Daniel Lewis, children of David Lewis Deceased of Westerly ... father’s will dated Feb. 1, 1717/8, ... eldest sister, Mary Langworthy with her husband John Langworthy, ... quit claim to Mary & John Langworthy, Aug. 4, 1721; recorded Nov. 25, 1748. Witnesses: Samuel Langworthy and John Davis. <http://www.rootsweb.com/~rigenweb/westerly.html> Am I correct in reading this as David LEWIS having the following children: John, Dorcas, Daniel and Mary? Was it David whose will was dated 1 Feb 1717/1718? Savage attributes these children [plus Jonathan and Hannah] to Daniel LEWIS and Mary BUTTON. He also mentions Daniel’s will of 1 Feb 1717/1718. J.D. Champlin, Jr. in Early Settlers of Westerly, Rhode Island (NEHGR, Vol. 14, p. 168) also mentions the same children as Savage along with the same date for the will of Daniel LEWIS. All help, comments, suggestions, etc. greatly appreciated. David Hoffman -- http://www.fastmail.fm - mmm... fastmail

Phil, The book is breifly described on my webpage: <http://www.hal-pc.org/~wmewrght/index.html#genes> I don't have any more copies of the book for sale. I will burn a CD-ROM with the text of the book in several formats. On my website, I also list the libraries that have copies. My book, "Ancestors and Descendants of William Browning Greene and Mary Hoxsie Lewis with Allied Families," includes 42 chapters. Each chapter is devoted to an immigrant and some of his descendants. The families all lived in Rhode Island and inter-married at one time or another. The book contains an extensive genealogy of the PERRYs and a large number of descendants of the CROSS, GREENE, KENYON, LEWIS, and SEGAR families. Other families in the book include BABCOCK, BROWNING, HAZARD, HOXSIE, and RATHBUN. The book is 778 pages long including an every name index. For information on buying the CD-ROM, send me an email off-list. When you do, I suggest you tell me how you are related to the above families. I can then tell you if the book contains information that I think would be helpful to you. If you have specific questions, I may be able to answer them if the answers are not too complicated.

As best I can tell, John Ure married Jane McKim in the late 1850s. He was from Scotland and she from Ireland. They had a son, William Arthur Ure (1869-?), born in NY, but living in Westerly, RI by the 1890s. He is listed in the 1890 Directory for Westerly, RI. William Arthur Ure is listed in the 1930 census for Newark, NJ, and I have confirmed him as my direct relative. Jane McKim Ure (1825-1906) is buried in River Bend Cemetery, Westerly, RI.

Listers, I posted this last week but there were some problems with the email system, some of you may not have received this. I have added a book, "A Historical Sketch of Richmond Rhode Island, 1747 to 1876, to the Washington County archives. It has a wealth of historical and Genealogical information. There is mention of some of the well known lines in Rhode Island in the genealogical chapter, (Babcock Barber, Clarke, Lillibridge, Collins, Moore), as well as throughout the other chapters. <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~rikent/richmond/">Richmond Rhode Island</A> http://www.rootsweb.com/~rikent/richmond/ The pages are images and will take a long time to load.

Many thanks for this information, I guessed it was not very large but until you visit a place it really is guess work. The person b. on Prudence Island was Peleg Sullivan in 1857, parents not known nor siblings, wifw not known but Peleg's son was born in South Kingston 1793 a Potter SULLIVAN and some other siblings. You did say there was no South Kinston as this spelling but this may have changed, and I can say that he lived in Exeter, I have just transcribed his pension application which gives a lot of information of Peleg himself, I did try the Cyndi's RI site but there seemed no records online. With this little info I do not know if only Peleg was b. on Prudence and siblings in Exeter but do know he had widowed mother to support at his time in the Militia.
