    3. 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&#8217;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&#8217;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... fastmailÂ…
