LETTER I.
To the Hon. Col. HENRY GARY, Esq.
Narraganset, in the Colony of Rhode
Ifland, in New England,
SIR, ^^m/i 20, 1752.
BY the Hands of Mr. Robert Hamilton,''' Son of Bellyfat-
tan, near Strabane, I did myfelf the Honour, a few Years
ago, of writing you a Letter, giving an Account of myfelf,
with a fhort Sketch of the Country where I have refided fo many
Years : But, as I am equally at a lofs, whether that Letter
reached your Honour, or was acceptable, if it did, I have
prefumed once more to put my Pen to Paper, to give you as
curt an Account as I can of the Englijh American Dominions;
which, if it does not minifter to your Entertainment, will,
neverthelefs, from its Intention, entitle me to your Pardon.
The Ifland of Bermuda, lying in Latitude 32^, and fo
without the Tropics, is the firft place I shall mention as be-
longing to the Crown of England in America. This is but a
fmall Ifland, or rather a Congeries of fmaller Iflands, whofe
Governor and Council, appointed by the Crown, with the
Reprefentatives of the Nine Tribes, whereof it confifts, make
up the Court of Legiflature, or General Aflembly. The In-
habitants are about 15,000, and all (except an inconfiderable
Few) Members of the Church of England; and their Clergy
maintained by Tax on the Inhabitants, (as all the Clergy with-
in the Tropics are) without any Afliftance from England. Its
Produce (except the Plat wherewith Womens Hats and Bon-
nets were wont to be made) is inconfiderable ; fo that with the
Red Cedar, growing on the Ifland, they build fmall vefTels for
Fifhing, and larger employed in carrying Freights to and from
Appendices
all Places acceffible to Englijh bottoms. The Inhabitants are an
induftrious and religious People, and, perhaps, retain more of
the ancient Britijh Probity and Simplicity than any other of
our Englijh Colonies; which, as it may be owing to its being
lefs acceilible to Strangers, verifies the Obfervation, That
Religion and Induftry go commonly Hand in Hand. This
Ifland is remarkably healthy, not only on Account of its Cli-
mate, but becaufe, alfo. Luxury and Indulgence are greater
Strangers to the Inhabitants than in fome other Places; and
many (born there) live to a great Age.
Barbadoes is the windermoft of all the Englijh Intertropical
Sugar-Iflands; as Antego^ Monferat^ St. ChriJiopher\ Nevis^
"Jamaico^ with many other lefler ones, are called the Leeward
IJlands. Your Irijh Trade furniflies you with fo diftin6l a
Knowledge of the Religion, Government, Trade, and Com-
merce, of thofe Iflands, that it would be but holding a Candle
to the Sun to interrupt you with a Detail of them. As to the
Iflands of St. Vincent's^ St. Lucia, Dominica and Tobago
called Neutral Iflands, and about which there have been fo
many Things faid fince the Peace; they are aitually fettled,
and fo well improved by the French, that one muft be very
fanguine and credulous to believe that any-thing under an actual
War and Conqueft can wreft them out of their into our Hands.
How unequal, at this Time of Day, we are to fuch an Un-
dertaking, and at fo great a Diftance too, a Gentleman of
your Honour's Penetration, and Acquaintance with the public
State of Things, is better adapted to determine than I am.
We have, alfo, a fine promifing new Settlement upon the
Spanijh Main, moftly inhabited by the Logwood Cutters, and
is called the Mufquito Shore: But, as the prefent Ferdinand
of Spain has ere(3:ed a Logwood Company at St. Andero, con-
fiding of many and rich Merchants, the Settlements ftipulated
and confequent to that Incorporation will greatly diftrefl!', if
not dif-fettle, the Englijh. If this fhould turn out, as it is pro-
bable it will, to this Purpofe, that profitable Branch of Trade
will be loft to the Britijh Subjeds, and the European Markets
be fupplied with that Article from the Spaniards themselves.
I need not obferve to you how detrimental this would prove
to Nations that manufacture so much Wool as Britain and
Ireland do.
Appendices
As it is common for a Peace, that puts a Period to a long
War, to produce Robbers at Sea and Land ; thus, upon the
Peace of Utrecht^ moft of the Pirates, who infefted the tVeJi-
Indian Seas, pitched upon a Place they called New Provi-
dence^ as a Rendezvous whither to bring in their Spoils. Thefe
rude People, after living awhile under Conftitutions of their
own making, took the Benefit of an A£t of Grace and fub-
mitted themfelves to the English Crown. They are not the
only Settlement that has had such a bafe Beginning; for Cape
Francois^ or the French Settlement on the Ifland of Hifpaniola^
owes itfelf to a like Original. Capt. Woods Rogers^ who had
been Mate of one of the two great Briftol Privateers who
went into the South Sea^ took one of the great Manila Ships,
(as Ld. Jnfon has fince taken another) and failed round the
World : I fay, this Woods Rogers was appointed the firft Gov-
ernor over thefe piratical Settlements, to whom fucceeded
Governor Phinney, to him Colonel Fitzwilliams, and the
prefent Governor is Mr. Tinker. As far as I can find, the
Inhabitants of thefe Bahama Iflands, whereof New Provi-
dence is the chief, the Place of the Governor's Refidence, of
the Courts of Juftice, and where the Garrifon is, are greatly
poliflied, and as well civilized as fome other Weji-Indian
Plantations. Mahogany, Bra-ziletto Wood, and Salt made in
Ponds by the Heat of the Sun, are their chief Commodities;
together with fmall green Turtle, delicious Food, and forced
down on thefe Iflands by the Rapidity of the Gulph Stream,
or the Paflage between the very long Ifland of Cuba and the
Main-Land of America^ through which the Waters, drove
down by the Trade-Wind, or Current, into the large Bay of
Mexico^ return, and are difembogued into the Mare del Nort.,
or great Atlantic^ at thefe Iflands. The Independent Com-
pany have a Chaplain allowed them at bs. Sd. per Diem ; but
what by Furloe from the Governor, and other Arts, he makes
it a Sinecure. Formerly, upon my Recommendation, one Mr.
Smith^^^ bred at the College of Dublin^ and a Drogheda Man,
was ordained by the late Bifhop of London^ and was fent, by
the Society for Propagation of the Gofpel, as their Miffion-
ary there. The prefent Miflionary, who is alfo Schoolmafter
there, is one Mr. Carter ^^^ an Englijhman; for what Religion
they have is that of our Church. 1 take this to be a very ne-
8 Appendices
ceflary Settlement, as in Time of War it may be a great
Curb to the Spaniards on the Ifland of Cuba^ and to their
Main-land Settlements on the Florida Shore, whereof St.
Augustine is the chief Place, and a Bifhop's See. But for fur-
ther Particulars, or even a Correction of thefe, I muft beg
Leave to refer you to Colonel William Stewart^ who was, and
is, (if he has not parted with his Commiflion) the chief Mili-
tary Officer at New Providence. I will now pafs over to the
Main-Land, where the firft Englijh Province that prefents is
Georgia. This Colony has for its Bounds, the Spanijh Settle-
ments of St. Augujline on the South- West and West, South
Carolina Northerly and North-Eafterly,and the Atlantic Ocean
in Front, into which you fail from thence through the Mouths
of barred Rivers. It was begun in this Reign, and put under
the Management of a Body of Gentlemen in England under
the Title of the Truftees of Georgia., and has ever fmce ad-
vanced under the Advantage of a national Expence. Its firft
Inhabitants were, too many of them, the Sweepings of the
Streets of London., and other populous Places ; and though, as
yet, it can boaft of no very profitable Returns to the Mother-
Country, it may, however, plume itfelf on this, that it eafed
England for that Time of fome ufelefs Hands, which doubt-
lefs are a dead Weight upon every Country. To the firft Set-
tlers, by After-Imbarkations, have been added Numbers of
Moravians., and other Germans: But, poor as it is, it appears
not to be poor enough for a filken Plantation ; a Manufac-
ture impracticable any-where but in over-populous Places,
and where every other Branch of Bufinefs is overftocked with
Hands. It is true, that in Georgia., and every other Place in
the Englijh America., the Mulberry-Tree, (whofe Leaves are
the Food of the Silkworm) will grow and thrive furprizingly ;
but, as gathering the Leaves, feeding and attending the
Worms while fpinning their Balls, and winding them off
when fpun, will not equal the Incomes of other Labour, 'tis
not to be hoped that a Manufacture of this Kind can turn to
Account in any of the Englijh Settlements, where the Necef-
faries of Life are dear, and fo great a Paucity of People to clear
and to till the Ground. The Moravians are induftrious, and
religious in their Way ; in the former whereof, I hope, they
will be imitated by their Englijh neighbours, whofe Religion,
Appendices
after they have learned the others Induftry, may induce thefe
Strangers to lift themfelves under the Banner of our Church.
There is, or lately was, a Bifhop of the Moravian Principles
there, and Preachers of their own in great Plenty : To thefe
the Venerable Society for the Propagation of the Gofpel in
Foreign Parts, in London^ have added Two Miflionaries,*^*
who are fettled at the Towns of Savannah and Augujia^ for
the Benefit of the Englifh Inhabitants of that Province. To
the civil and military Government of this Place (ever fince
his Excellency General "James Oglethorp went to England^
I am too much a Stranger to give your Honour any Ac-
count. As it is a Frontier, 'twill be always expofed to Spanijh
Infults in Time of War; and to Indian Incurfions, whenever
their Spanijh Mafters have a Mind to incite them to annoy
the Englijh. To this latter Inconvenience they are expofed
at this very Time ; no good Sign (whatever is outwardly pre-
tended) that the Court of Madrid is inwardly over-much de-
voted to that of London. I am of Opinion, that, whenever the
Britijh Parliament (hortens the Supplies that fupport this
Colony, it will proceed and improve flowly ; but, fhould
they be wholly withdrawn, it muft be greatly diftrefled, ef-
pecially on any Rupture with Spain. I ftiould think it, there-
fore, of great Confequence, that a due Attention were given
to the Defence of our American Frontiers, as the more fafe
and central Colonies would flourifli the better within the
well-maintained Barriers.
Northerly of Georgia., lies the flourifhing Province of South
Carolina., not the lefs profperous by Rice's being made an
unenumerated Commodity; whereby they have Leave to ex-
port it to other Parts of Europe., without entering in the Ports
of Great-Britain. This Province was begun, and firft peo-
pled, at the Expence of Englijh patentees, in the Reign of
Charles the Second, under the Style and Title of the Lords
Proprietors of South- Carolina \ but it advanced flowly, and
was often interrupted by Wars and Incurfions made by the
Indian Nations bordering on its Weft Limits, and under Span-
ijh and French Influence. You may pleafe to take Notice,
that, as the Spaniards are our Neighbours on the South, fo,
ever fince the fettling of Louifiana., the French have been
extending themfelves Eaft from the MiJJifippi quite up to the
10 Appendices
Appalatian Mountains; a middle Land rifing, or Ridge of
Hills that run from South to North, on the Back or Weft of
the Englijh Provinces. Thofe Lords Proprietors, finding them-
felves an unequal Match for the Indians in the War, and
that the Expence of defending the Province exceeded the pre-
fent Profits, or future Expe61:ations, did all (except your Lord
Carteret^ now Earl of Granvil^ furrender their Powers and
Privileges to the Crown, in 1720. I was then in London^ and
often faw the Provincial Agents at the Lodgings of my great
Friend and Patron, General Francis Nicholfon^'^^ who, in a lit-
tle Time after, went over in the Quality of King's Governor.
Ever fince that Time, this Province has throve at a prodi-
gious Rate; fo that, befides their Home Confumption, it takes
above 200 Sail of Ships, and other Top-fail Vefl'els, to ex-
port their annual Overplus. Their principal Produce is Rice\
befides which, they export Indian Corn, (alias Maize) Pitch,
Tar, Turpentine, Beef and Pork barrelled, tanned Leather,
raw Hides, and other Articles. As the Plant, from which it
is extracted by Fermentation, is plenty in the Province, they
have lately entered on the Manufailure of Indigo; but,
whether their Latitude (agreeable enough to Oranges and
Limes, without adventitious or artificial Heat) is \not\ warm
enough, or they are defective in Skill, they are unable yet
to vie with the French of Hifpaniola in the Goodnefs of that
Commodity. The Church of England is eftabliftied there by
Provincial Law ; as indeed it is, by the Union A61 of Parlia-
ment, in all his Majefty's Foreign Dominions, as King of
England, There are but a few Diffenters, and thofe of the
Independent and Antipcedobaptiji Perfuafions, who are moftly
feated in Charles-Town,, the Metropolis. The venerable So-
ciety before-mentioned ufed to fend, and affift in maintain-
ing Miflionaries, with the Allowance of 50/. Sterling to each
Minifter per Annum : But General Nicholfon having obtained
a Law to fecure a Support to the Clergy by a Provincial
Tax, the Society now give only 30/. to each Miflionary,
and that rather as an Inducement to Gentlemen to go over
to a confefledly fickly Country, than out of any great Need
there is of that Addition. Their Parifties are of vaft Extent,
refembling your northern Baronies; ten whereof are furniftied
with fo many Miflionaries, befides Charles-Town,, which
Appendices n
maintains a Re6lor and a Le6lurer in St. Philip's Church, at
its own Expence. The Inhabitants are gay and expenfive in
their Furniture, Clothing, Equipage, and Way of Living;
an Obfervation that will but too well apply to all the Eng~
lijh Colonies. The Irijh^ Dutch^ Palatines^ and other Germans^
are as yet the only Exception to this Remark; but I think one
may foretel, without a Spirit of prophecy, that, by the Symp-
toms beginning to (hoot out on the Offspring of the Wealthy
and Thriving among them, their Pofterity will fall into the
like deftru6tive Indulgencies.
More North, and North-Eafterly, and on the Atlantic
Shore, lies North- Carolina^ granted alfo in 1663, by King
Charles the Second, to a Company of Proprietors. Their Char-
ter provides. That the Church of England fhall be the only
eftablifhed Religion, and entitled to the public Encourage-
ments. This Province does not contain more Inhabitants
than from 15,000 to 20,000, who live in Plantations fcat-
tered at great Diftances. They have but few compa6l Towns,
befides the fmall ones of Edentown^ the Metropolis, and
Cape Fear\ by which Means Religion has gained but little
Ground. Two Clergymen, who are the Society's itinerant
Miflionaries here,^^^ are all the Advantages they are yet under
refpe6ting Religion; and, though their Travel and labours are
exceflive, it can't be fuppofed but the greater Part of the Peo-
ple are neceflarily rude and illiterate, irreligious and prophane.
There are a very fmall Number of Prefbyterians, with fome
Quakers; and wherever thefe latter are, at leaft predominate,
you fhall never fail to find Immoralities and Diforders pre-
vail. Believe me. Sir, wherever Difl:in6lion of Perfons is de-
cried, as among that People, Confufions will follow : For Lev-
elifm is inconfiftent with Order, and a certain Inlet to An-
archy; as, when there was no King in Ifrael^ every-one did
what was right in his own Eyes. There are, however, fundry
well-difpofed Gentlemen, who from Time to Time have
made laudable Efforts to promote True Religion among their
neighbours ; but what with their Colony Confufions and an
Indian War fome Years fince, they have been able to make
no great Advances. The Climate fubje6ls the Inhabitants,
efpecially New-Comers, to vernal and autumnal Agues and
Fevers of the mortal Kind. They export Indian Corn, and
12 Appendices
Pork, fatted in the Woods, with what, by a general Name,
is called Maji\ that is. Acorns, Walnuts, Cheftnuts, other
Nuts and wild Fruits ; which makes it oily and unpalatable.
But their greateft and moft profitable Produce is of the Te-
rebinthinate Kind, viz. Pitch, Tar, and Turpentine, which
they fhip off in great Quantities; as alfo Whalebone and
Oil, some Seafons, from Cape Fear. Upon the whole, this
Province may ftill pafs for a pretty wild and uncultivated
Country; and, excepting a ^&w of the better Sort, its white
Inhabitants have degenerated into a State of Ignorance and
Barbarifm, not much fuperior to' the native Indians.
Along the fame Shore, and North-Eaflerly, lies the old
famous Colony of Virginia ; fo called from the Virgin-Queen
Elizabeth^ in whofe Reign it feems to be firft fettled. The
firft Adventurers to thofe Parts were moftly Gentlemen of
FamilyandFortune,and firmly attached to the £«^///5> Church:
For it was not then fo fafhionable and meritorious (as fanciful
Men have fince thought it) to form themfelves into religious
Fa6lions; nor could they, with Impunity, feparate from Cath-
olic Communion for Trifles. This was the laft of all the
American Englifh Plantations that fubmitted to Oliver % Yoke;
nor was it without a Struggle and Force, at laft, that they put
on that Ufurper's Chains. This Country is regularly divided
into Counties and Parifties, where an Epifcopal Clergy (fub-
je£t to the See of London.^ as all the American Clergy are) are
legally eftabliftied and well-provided for. There is a fmall
College for the Education of Youth at a Town called Wil-
liamjburg; and, excepting fome fingle, inconfiderable Perfons,
the Inhabitants are profelled Members of the Church of Eng-
land. The Parifhes are fo large and extenfive, that in many
Places, 'tis no unufual Sight to fee the Gentry , in their Coaches,
and lower People on Horfes, ride ten, twenty, thirty, and more
Miles, to Church; fo that the Chriftians here may be, in more
Senfes than one, called Cavaliers, it being impra6licable for
the lower Infantry to foot it often to their Parifh-Church.
To remedy this, as the whole Province, between the moun-
tains (200 Miles up) and the Sea is all a Champain, and
without Stones, they have Plenty of a fmall Sort of Horfes, the
beft in the World, like the little Scotch Galloways; and 'tis
no extraordinary Journey to ride from 60 to 70 Miles, or more,
Appendices 13
in a Day. I have often, but upon larger-pacing Horfes, rode
50, nay 60, Miles a Day, even here in New- England,, where
the Roads are rough, ftony, and uneven. This Province is
well watered with many large, long Rivers, navigable, fome
100, others 150, and 200 Miles up into the Country, which
facilitates their Exportations. Thefe Rivers do not empty
themfelves immediately into the Ocean, but into a large, ca-
pacious Bafon, of great Breadth and Extent, called Chejapeak
Bay^ into which you fail through a narrow Channel, between
Cape Henry 2i\\A Cape Charles. From this Province, and Mary-
land^Ms next Neighbour, all Europe is fupplied with Tobacco;
except what is brought from the Brazils^ belonging to the
King of Portugal^ in South- America. Befides Tobacco to Europe.^
they export, to the Portugueje Iflands in the Atlantic and on
the African Coaft, and to the Englijlj Charihhee IJJands., and
other Places, Wheat, Indian Corn, and great Quantities of
Pork, fatted with the Maji already mentioned : And as for Beef,
which is plenty enough in all the Places to the Southward of
it, the Climate is too hot to fave it by Salt; so that they have
little more than what is fufficient for their Home-Confump-
tion, and to victual their own trading Ships; but as for the
Tobacco Ships, they come victualled from England and Scot-
land^ where they chiefly belong. There are many Gentlemen
of large Demefnes and Fortunes in Virginia., and are as re-
markable for their open and free Hofpitality, as for their great
Numbers of Negro Slaves; feveral having Hundreds, and fome
aboveaThoufand,of fuch Servants, fo that I believe the Blacks
do in number equal, if not out-do, the Whites. As Hanging
feems to be the worft Ufe Men can be put to, it were to be
wiftied, that a Period were put even to the Tranfportation of
Convicts from England and Ireland to Virginia and Maryland.
Though fome of thefe Felons do reform, yet they are fo (fw.,
that their Malverfation has a bad Effe6l upon the Morals of
the lower Clafs of Inhabitants: Great Pity, therefore, it is,
that fome Punifhments worfe than Death or Tranfportation
could not be contrived for thofe Vermin ; and, fure, fome hard
Drudgeries might be found out, which Idlenefs, the Inlet to
their Villanies, would dread more than Hanging or Tranf-
plantation. The civil Government of this Province is vefted
immediately in the Crown ; and, in Confideration of the vaft
14 Appendices
Revenue arifing at Home from their Tobacco, they are the
only Colony whofe Governor is paid by the King. The Gov-
ernor of Virginia is commonly a Nobleman. He has 1500/.
fterling from the Exchequer^ and as much from him who has
the Favour to be fixed upon for the Lieutenant-Governor;
by which Means it is a Sinecure worth 3000/. per Annum.
The late Duke oi Hamilton % Uncle, viz. the Earl of Orkney^
was Governor of Virginia when I was in England laft, in
1736, and, after the Death of Colonel Spotfwood^ Lieu-
tenant-Governor Gooch was his Deputy : But he died while I
was there, and who fucceeded him I can't tell; though the prefent
Lieutenant-Governor is one Mr. Dinwooddy^ my Clafs-Mate
at the College of Glafgow. There has lately been made, upon
and behind the Mountains of Virginia^ a new Irijh Settlement,
by a Tranfmigration of fundry of thofe that, within thefe
thirty Years paft, went from the North oi Ireland to Pennfyl-
vania. As the Soil in that new IriJh Settlement is natural and
friendly to Grafs, they will, for many Years to come, raife
great Quantities of neat Cattle, as the Climate is benign, and
their Outlets on Commonages large; but they are too far from
Places fitted for Water-Carriage, to hurt other Cattle-breed-
ing Places by their Exportations abroad.
Along-fide of Virginia^ and more north-eafterly, lies Mary-
land^ through which runs the great river Sufquehannah^
which empties itfelf, not into the ocean, but, as the Virginian
rivers do, into the great bay of Chefapeak. This trail, or pro-
vince, was granted to the great Calvert^ Lord Baltimore^ an
IriJh nobleman, by Queen Mary^ wife of Philip of Spain ;
and, in honour of her, called Maryland^ as Georgia has fince
been named in honour of the prefent King. As the late Lord
Baltimore was the firft Protejiant peer of the Calvert family,
his predecefibrs (as it was natural they (hould) firft peopled
this province with a colony of IriJh Catholicks. Thefe, hav-
ing the ftart, in point of time, of the after-fettlers, are alfo,
to this day, a-head of them in wealth and fubftance; by which
means, the firft and beft families are, for the moft part, ftill
of the Roman communion. Tho' this province have a fuc-
ceflion of fecular clergy fent them, chiefly from Ireland^ who
fubfift on the free-will offerings of thofe to whom they ad-
minifter; yet is the Country cantoned into Parifties and Pre-
Appendices 15
clncEts, over which prefide, by legal Eftabliftiment, a compe-
tent Number of Clergymen of our Church, handfomely pro-
vided for. Forty Pounds of good infpe6ted Tobacco is due
to the Incumbent for every Poll in the Parifh, young and
old. White and Black; and is colle6ted for his Ufe, and is
paid in to him, by the Sheriff of the County or Dlftridl
w^here he officiates. This is called the Porty-Pound Poll-Tax,
equal to 5^^. Sterling per Head ; and, as no Parifh is under
150/. per Annum, fo a great many far exceed 300/. — a
competent Provifion in a cheap Country, were not Phyfic
dearer than Food, and the Demands for it (efpecially about
the Vernal and Autumnal Equinoxes) more frequent than
for eatables. There are fome fakers here, in Confequence
of its bordering on Pennfylvania; and fome Iri/h Prejhyterians^
owing to the Swarms that, for many Years paft,have winged
their Way Weftward out of the Hibernian Hive. One Mr.
Hugh Conn^ of Macgilligan^ my Senior, but former Ac-
quaintance, when I was a School-boy at Foghan-veil^ and
Minifter to a Prejhyterian Congregation in Maryland; as he
was preaching, a few Months ago, upon the Subje6t of a fud-
den Death, dropped down dead in his Pulpit, — a melancholy
and, indeed, remarkable Verification of the Truth he was
inculcating on his Audience. He has Relations in the Place
of his Nativity; and this, perhaps, may be the only Intima-
tion they may have of his Demife. The Lord Proprietor has
the Privilege of prefenting a Governor to his Majefty, and
nominating the Council; and, upon the King's approving the
Prefentation and Choice, their refpeftive Commillions are
made out, and the Governor's Salary is fettled by the Af-
fembly of the Province, and paid by a tax. As to the Pro-
duce, Exportations, and Commerce of this Colony, they are
fo much the same with Virginia^ that they need no Repeti-
tion. The Inhabitants are all Tenants to Lord Baltimore^
upon a fmall Quit-rent ; and yet fo prodigioufly have the
Planters extended themfelves, that his Lordfhip's Quit-rents
are computed at 8000/. fterling per Annum; and if the Irifl)
go on, but a few years more, to people the upper and inland
Parts of the Province, as they have begun, it will foon raife
his Rents to double that Sum.
Next to Maryland^ and north-eafterly of it, lyes Pennfyl-
i6 Appendices
vania^ so called from the famous William Penn^ a noted
Quaker, of a family of that name in Ireland. This province,
including the three lower counties, extends, in length, near
300 miles, and, in breadth, above 200 ; and is watered with
the great river Delaware., navigable 150 miles up from the fea,
in great veflels, to the city of Philadelphia., and as many more
miles, in fmall veflels, above that city. The three lower coun-
ties of NewcajUe., Kent., and Sujfex., lying between Philadel-
phia and the mouth of the Delaware., at Cape Hinlopen., on
the wefl: fide of that river, were firft fettled by Swedes and
Dutch., tho' the whole province, at this day, are a mixture of
feveral European nations, fuch as French., Englijh., Irifl}., Mo-
ravians., Palatines., and other Germans. William Penn., in con-
fideration of fome fuppofed merit, or intimacy with his Royal
Highnefs, Duke of York and Albany., (afterwards the un-
fortunate King yatnes the Second) obtained a proprietary
patent of this province; and its quit-rents (by the late nu-
merous IriJ}} and German fettlers) arife to a greater efliate
than Lord Baltimore's., but is divided among three of faid
Penn'% pofterlty. The firft Englijh fettlers here were fa-
kers \ for above two thoufand of thefe people went out of
England at one embarkation, with William Penn., and began
the city of Philadelphia., and the plantations contiguous to
it. Since that time, great numbers, of other nations, and of
different notions in religion, have chofe this province for
their habitation ; not to avoid any violence to their perfons
or principles, (as is more commonly., than truly., alledged, in
New-England efpecially) but to improve their fortunes in
thofe parts. Soon after this colony had a little increafed, as
an Engli/h civil government became neceffary, and as it
could not be fafely trufted in, nor its powers agreeably exe-
cuted by, any but EngliJJ) hands, they were reduced to a fad
dilemma. A ftatute of William and Mary., in conformity to
their own avowed tenets, had difqualified fakers from the
exercife of any civil authority; and, as there were few fit
among them for offices, but perfons of that perfuafion, they
petitioned the crown for a difpenfation of the ftatute; and
their prayer was heard. Thus let into the adminiftration, they
foon fliewed, that Nature is often too powerful for principle:
And, tho' they declaim againft dominion, yet, when they are
Appendices 17
once entrufted with power, they won't eafily let go their
hold. Thus have we feen the outcry, raifed againft the doc-
trine of the difpenfing power in the crown, in the reign of the
unfortunate father, funk into filence; and the fucceffors ex-
ercifing, with impunity, what only an attempt upon ruin'd
the predeceflbr : So true is it, that it is fometimes fafer for
one man to fteal the horfe, than for another to look at him
thro' or over the hedge!
1 believe I need not tell you, that Pennfylvania is an abfolute
ftranger to an uniformity in religion ; for the different countries,
that contributed to the peopling of this province, carried
their refpe61:ive preachers and opinions along with them. The
Church of ^«^/^W entered no earlier here than 1700; but
God's bleffing upon the ic-w labourers employed as miflion-
aries among them, has given the church a large and pro-
mifing fpread. The Society for the Propagation of the Gof-
pel in Foreign Parts maintain at prefent eight miffionaries
among them, who have the care of treble that number of
churches, befides where they officiate in private houfes. In
the city of Philadelphia there is a large church, where the
Society maintain Mr. Sturgeon^'^° X.\\e\v catechift; but the in-
cumbent (the worthy and Reverend Dr. 'Jenny^'^^ son of
Archdeacon "Jenny ^ in Waney-Town^ in the North of Ireland)
is maintained at the expence of his own Auditors. There is
a public and open Mafs-houfe in this City; which I note,
there being none allowed to the Northward of it, in all the
Englijh Plantations. The Irifh are numerous in this province;
who, befides their Interfperfions amongthe Englijh and others,
have peopled a whole County by themselves, called the
County of Donnegal^ with many other new Out-towns and
DiftriiSls. In one of thefe Frontiers, on the Forks of Dela-
ware^ I affifted my Brother* (who left /r^/i7«d^ again ft my
■*James MacSparran, of Erie, Pennsylvania, in a letter states: "Ar-
chibald MacSparran was the eldest son of Archibald, and lived with his
parents on the homestead. James, his brother, received a classical educa-
tion at Glasgow, and was educated for the ministry, and was sent to Nar-
ragansett. Archibald being In possession of the homestead, made sale of it,
and emigrated to this country in search of his brother James, who was
settled at Rhode Island. The ship in which he embarked made another
port, and he settled near New Castle, on the Delaware Bay, near the
Pennsylvania line. Archibald had seven children : three daughters, Mar-
garet, Eliza, and Bridget ; and four sons, John, James, Archibald, and

Advice) in purchafing a large Tra6t of Land, which, by his
and his Wife's Demife, about a Year ago, defcends to his
Children. This puts me in mind to intercede with your Hon-
our, in Behalf of his eldeft Daughter, married to one Gamble^
and who, I hear, refolves to return again, to receive them to
your Favour, if you find they deferve it, as defcended from
Anceftors who lived happily under your Father and Grand-
father, and Great Grandmother, the Hon. Lady Cork. The
Exportations from this Province are principally Wheaten
Flour, which they fend abroad in great Quantities; and, by
the Acceflions and Induftry of the Irijh and Germans^ they
threaten, in a few Years, to leflen the American Demands for
IriJh and other European Linens. Philadelphia is a City in-
corporated, and governed by a Mayor and Aldermen ; and
they have lately eredled a little Academy in this City for the
Education of Youth.
Next to Pemijylvania., and on the Eaft Side of the River
Delaware., lies the Province which goes by the Name of the
Eajl and IVeJi Jerfeys. This Tra61: was formerly reckoned
Part of Nova-Belgia., now New-York; but the aforefaid Duke
of Tork., to whom Penn\ Country, this, and the prefent Pro-
vince of New- York, was granted by King Charles \\. gave
this Part, in 1664, to Lord Berkeley and Sir George Carteret.
Thefe Gentlemen cantoned this Country into two Parts,
viz. Eaji and tVeJi Jerfeys ; but the Proprietaries, in 1702,
furrendered their Rights to the late glorious Queen ^«w, ever
fince which Surrender it has gone by the Name of New-Jer-
Joseph. The eldest, John, became a merchant in Philadelphia, and there
died. James was a husbandman ; lived with his father; was in the posses-
sion of the homestead, and there died. Archibald was in the mercantile
business, at or near Baltimore. Joseph, the youngest, was born in this
country, and was quite young when his father died. He was father to my
father, that is, my grandfather,- my father's name is Archibald. My father
(after the death of his father, Joseph) emigrated from the interior of this
State to this section of the country. He was among the earlier pioneers to
this place ; he has resided here near forty years. My father has no written
genealogy of his relatives, and the information he gives me is from me-
mory, of what his father imparted to him. Yet, from what my father re-
lates, I am confident that Doctor James MacSparran, whom you mention,
was great-uncle to my father, and that his brother Archibald was grand-
father to my father. The Dr. MacSparran of Narragansett, of whom my
father speaks, made a will, at the request of his partner, previous to their
going to England, and devised a portion of his property to the son of his
brother, Archibald, by the name of James, uncle to my father."

Governor of the latter was alfo Commander in Chief over
the former: But they had a diftin6l Legiflature ; and they are
now feparated, each having its refpeilive Governor. He who
at prefent prefides as Governor over New-'Jersey is a New-
England Man ; an Independent, but occafionally conforms in
Confequence of the Tejl A(5l. His name is Belcher\'^ and
as he was born at Bojion^ in New-England^ he was many years
Governor there. The firft Inhabitants were Quakers and Ana-
baptifts, and Sabbatarian Baptifts. But, as your Honour may
have a curiofity to know wherein thefe latter differ from other
Antipaedobaptifts, you are, then, to know, that to the errors
of the other Se6ls of this ftamp they add this, as peculiar to
themfelves. That they, in a Sort, judaize in their Beginning
and Manner of keeping the Sabbath, and refufe all religious
Regard to the Lord's Day by abftaining from their ordinary
Callings on Sunday. After the Conqueft of this Country,
in 1664, out of the Hands of the Dutch., their religious Af-
fairs were a long while unfettled and confufed; but, at pref-
ent, its Inhabitants are generally Z)?//*:/:' and /r//^ Prefbyterians,
New-England Independents, Quakers, and Baptifts of divers
Sorts. The Church of ^w^/^W, however, began to enter here
in 1 702, and its Succefs and Progrefs yields Matter of great
Thankfgiving to God. The Society maintain here feven or
eight MifIionaries,who have the Care of many more Churches;
and, as our Church gains Ground, the Se6taries leffen both
in their Oppofition and Numbers. There are feveral confid-
erable Towns in this Province ; and one fmall City, viz. Perth-
Amhoy^ but more thinly inhabited than many of their Towns.
Their Produce and Commerce, being much the fame with
that of Pennfylvania and New-York., may be confidered in
the paragraphs dedicated to them. They have lately fet up a
little College as a Seminary for their Youth.
♦Jonathan Belcher was graduated from Harvard in 1699. He was a
good scholar, and possessed a literaiy taste. He visited Europe and became
acquainted with literary and political chara6ters of influence. In 1730, he
was appointed Governor of Massachusetts, and was superseded in 174.1.
He moved to New Jersey, and was appointed Governor of the Colony in
1747. He died in 1757, greatly lamented for his private virtues and pub-
lic services. He was esteemed a pious man, and some thought him an en-
thusiast. He was a great admirer of Whitefield. He was a great benefac-
tor and patron of Princeton College.

The next Province we proceed to is that of New-York.
This Province (exclufive of Najfau Ifland, vi^hich is 200
Miles long, and on that Account called Long Ifland, and other
lelTer Iflands) is that Tra6l of Land that lies between New-
England and New-'Jerfey^ and is not above 20 Miles broad
upon Hudfons River, but extends along that River up into
the Main-Land at leaft 200 Miles. It has two Cities, viz.
New-Tor k^ at the Mouth, where Hudfons River throws it-
felf into the Sea; and Albany^ 100 Miles up the faid River,
to which Vefl'els of any Burden,, under 100 Tons, may go
up, and fmaller ones, 20 Miles further, to the Village Sche-
nedady. Thefe two Cities, after the Reduction of this Pro-
vince, were named in Honour of the Duke's Englijh and Scot-
tijh Titles. The Dutch^ soon after their tranfporting the Eng-
lijh Brownifts (of whom more hereafter) from Leyden^ in Hol-
land^ to New-Plymouth in New-England^ in 1620, fent a
Colony of their own to New-York^ at that Time called the
Manhadoes by the Indians \ but King Charles the Second fent
Sir Robert Carr^ at the Head of three or four thoufand Men,
who foon fubdued Hogan Mogan^ and wrefted this Country
out of thefe Hollanders'' Hands. However, in the Peace that
fucceeded the Firft Dutch War in that Reign, this Trail,
containing the prefent Pennfyhania^ New-Jerfey and New-
York^ was for ever ceded to the Crown of England-, and Su-
rinam^ a Sugar Settlement, in the Latitude of five Degrees
North, on the Main-Land of America^ was yielded to the
Dutch in Lieu of it. Almoft all the Englijh Siirinammers
quitted their Plantations, agreeable to the Articles, to the
Dutch Supplanters. But not fo Dean Swift's Nicholas Frog,
who had overfpread the Fens and fat Farms of Hudfons
River; they almoft all, to a Man, submitted to the Crown
of England^ and faved their Settlements. A little Time after
this Conquest, great Numbers of £«^///?) came into this Coun-
try, and, by After-acceflions, it is become a well-cultivated
and extenfive, and, in confequence, a rich and populous Pro-
vince. Indeed, no Places, but what are populous, can ever
be opulent. The King's Quit-Rents from this, and New-
ferfey^zrQ confiderable, and (as you will eafily believe) every
Day increafing. The Governor and Council are commif-
fioned by the Crown ; who, with the Reprefentatives chofe
Appendices 21
by the Counties and Corporations, conftitute the Legiflature.
Four Independent Companies, paid out of the Privy Purfe,
as Part of the Guards, (not upon the national Eftablifhment)
are cantoned in Tork^ Albany^ Scheneflady^ Forts Ann and
Hunter^ Ojwego^ and other Frontiers, to watch the Motions
of their Neighbours the French^ and the frenchified Indians.
Several Gentlemen have taken out Patents for large Tra6ts
up in the Country, which they are fettling as fall as they
can; and, in an Age or two, (if, before that, we ftiould not
be drove into the Sea by the French^ will be profitable Ef-
tates. Sir Peter lVar7-en^ the Admiral, and our Countryman,
is one of thofe who own much of thefe Lands. The Expor-
tations from this Province are principally Furs, Flour, Bread,
Wheat, Indian Corn, pickled Beef and Pork, Rye, Buck-
Wheat, and other Articles, being much the fame as the Pro-
duce of the two laft-mentioned Provinces, 'New-'JerJey and
Pennfylvania. As the Provinces, above pointed at, are re-
markable for Melons, Peaches, Cherries, Apples, &c. fo the
farther North you come, the lefs rich and poignant thofe hot-
country fruits are; but then this Lofs is made up by Apples
and Pears growing better, in Proportion as you remove far-
ther from the Sun. In this Province you begin to meet with
good Cyder and Perry, which grows better and better as you
advance more Eaftward. While I am writing this, the public
Prints, brought me by Poft, purport, that the Truftees of
Georgia did in June laft furrender their Charter to the Crown,
and that a Patent had paffed the Great Seal to inveft the
King, and his SuccefTors, with all the Properties, Powers,
and Privileges, heretofore granted to the Body Politic. The
firft public Beginning of the Church oi England \x\ the Pro-
vince of New-Tork^ was Anno Domini 1693; but fo remark-
ably has God appeared againft Schifm and Herefy, and in
Behalf of the truly Apoftolic Faith and decent Worfhip of
the Church of England^ that at this day there are ten Mif-
fionaries, who officiate in more Churches. Befides thefe ten
Clergymen, the Society maintain fix Epifcopal School-maf-
ters, one Catechift on Long-IJland^ and another Catechift, in
Holy Orders, in the City of New-York., for the Inftru6tion
of the Negro Slaves there, and as Afliftant to the Redlor of
the Church of that City, who is maintained by the People :
22 Appendices
So that, where nothing but Herefy and Irreligion,and Schifm
prevailed, there are now twelve regular Clergymen in Holy
Orders; and the Pofterity of the French and Dutch,, forget-
ting their refpe6tive Languages, are crowding into the Eng-
lijh Churches, and worftiipping God with them, with one
Mouth and one Heart. There is alfo a Subfcription on Foot
for erecting a little College in this Province: But I think the
Multiplication of fuch fmall Seminaries, tho' it may a little
increafe Knowledge, will not advance Learning to any re-
markable Pitch; as the Endowments muft be fmall, and
their Libraries ill-ftocked, to whatthofe of one general Col-
lege or Univerfity might be.
Next to New-Tor k^ in proceeding Eaft and by North, we
enter on the Country called New-England^ and which is can-
toned into the two Colonies of Conne^icut and Rhode-Ifland^
with the four Provinces of the Majfachufets-Bay^ New-Hamp-
Jhire,, Main., and Sagadahock. Before I enter particularly into
thefe Provinces, I muft beg Leave to premife a few words
relating to New-England in general. King 'James., the Firft
of England., and Sixth of Scotland., granted this Country to Sir
Ferdinando Gorges., and others, moftly Devon/hire Gentle-
men, under the Style and Title of the Council of Plymouth;
and as the Geography of this Country was hardly emerged
into any tolerable Light, inftead of afcertaining their Limits
on Earth, they fixed their Boundaries in the Heavens. He
granted them all that American Tra61:, between the Degrees
of 40 and 45 of North Latitude, and acrofs Land to the South-
Sea: — A Grant furely void, on account of uncertainty, and for
that no King of England., or other European Monarch, were
Lords of the American Soil, who had vaft Numbers of fav-
age, petty, and yet abfolute Princes of its own. However,
their royal Grants gave them the exclufive Right of Pre-
emption from the native Princes; as no Subject; can, without
Royal Licence, tranfport themfelves out of the Precin61:s of
any Prince, more than transfer their Allegiance. Thus the
Patents, whereby the Lands are held, and civil Dominion ex-
ercifed, gave them Leave to remove hither, and purchafe;
but referved the fovereignty over them, as fubje6ls to the
Englijh Crown. New- England v/z^ firft peopled by the Brown-
ijls., the firft Se61: that feparated from the Church; and its
Appendices 23
increafe was owing to After-acceflions of Puritans, whofe
a6tual Departure from the national Worfliip commenced no
earlier than their entrance into New-England. While the Vir-
gin-Queen, of immortal memory, fat at the Helm, (he fteered
fo fteady a Courfe, and rode with fo tight a rein, that Cal-
ving Englifli Difciples, impregnated with the leaven of Geneva.^
could do little more, upon their return, after the Maria Per-
fecution, than fret in her Fetters, murmur, and mutter their
Difcontents in fecret. 'Tis true, that the above-faid Browne., a
young Clergyman, of Fire and Zeal over-proportionate to his
Difcretion, drew the firft Difl'enting Difciples after him; who,
tho' he boafted he had been in every Prifon in England., for
Religion and Confcience fake, yet when he cooled, and came
into the Church again, by a Recantation, he found it eafier
to miflead, than reduce his Followers into the right Road
again. It fhould feem, God would not fo far favour the firft
Schifmatick, as to vouchfafe him either Skill or Succefs in re-
buildino; the beautiful Fabrick of his Church he had before
done his utmoft to deface and pull down : — An honour, which
'tis poiTible the great Apoftle of the Gentiles had never en-
joyed, had his Zeal, inftead of fpending itfelf in forcibly keep-
ing his Countrymen to the old Religion, which certainly
came from God, been employed in a fly Sedu6tion from an
Apoftolical Church into another, that had lefs of Divine., and
more of Human Contrivance in it. To Elizabeth fucceeded
Ja7nes., Father of the Martyr: He, imagining it more for his
Cafe, threw away that Queen's Curb, and rode with a Snaffle.
Under this foft Sovereign, the Noncons feem, by the Gallio-
tifm of the State, and the Grindalizing of the Church, to have
grown into great Numbers. But Charles refumed, in fome Sort,
the Heroine's Bridle, and gave Leave to Laud to make ufe
of Whip and Spur j fothe fturdy Puritan, unufed to Reftraint,
and grown reftive, finding flouncing and plunging would not
throw down, run away from his Riders and took San6luary
in New-England. But, good God ! how dearly did that moft
pious Prince, and holy Prelate, pay for this ! and how fatal
and lafting have been the Confequences of that grand Re-
bellion, that brought both thofe great Perfonages to the Block!
I return from this Digreflion, to acquaint your Honour, that
ConneSiicut is that Part of New-England next to New-Tork.

The firft EngUJh Settlers of this Colony were Puritans, who
tranfportedthemfelves hither in i 630. They formed themfelves
into a Civil Society^ by an Inftrument of Government of their
own making; and, by fo doing, became, by stri£lnefs of Law,
liable to the Penalties ofTreafonj and into an Ecclefiaftical
Society, by a Platform partly borrowed from the Brownijis
of Plymouth^ who come nine years before them, and partly
by Additions or Inventions of their own, and fo became In-
dependents,and, if you pleafe, Schifmaticks. When Cromwell
began the exercife of Sovereign Power, without the Char-
acter and Style of King, thefe Sectarian Settlements foon fub-
mitted to his Yoke; and their fulfome and fawning AddrefTes,
fluffed with the odious Cant peculiar to the Age and People,
are at this Day offenfive to a loyal and pious Ear.
In 1663, when the Revival of the Good Old Caufe be-
came defperate, by the fucceeding Reftoration, and Re-fet-
tlement in Church and State, they made a Virtue of Necef-
fity, and fubmitted to the Crown. The reftored Monarch,
who was all Condefcenfion, Grace, and Good-Nature, gave
them a Charter; which, tho' furrendered in the Reign of his
Royal Brother, was refumed at the Revolution, and by that
they ftill govern. In confequence of this Charter, the Free-
holders annually chufe a Governor, and a certain number of
Afliftants, who compofe the Council, or Upper-Houfe of
Affembly, and are alfo the Grand Ordinary in all Teftamen-
tary Cafes. The Freeholders alfo chufe from among them-
felves, Two, to reprefent each Town, who are the Lower-
Houfe; and both Houfes, refolved into a Grand Committee,
chufe all other Civil and Military Officers ; and this whole
Houfe have the Cognizance of Matrimonial and other Mat-
ters. Marriages are too often, and for flight Caufes, diffolved
by the Affembly ; and Divorces, with Liberty to marry again,
eafily obtained. Independency^ by a more creditable Nick-
name, called Prejlyterianifm^ is the Religion of the State; but,
of late Years, fome ^akers^ more Anahaptijls^ and a ftill
greater Number of Churchmen have crowded into, or rather,
conformed in, that Colony; and, by prefent Appearances,
one may foretel, that the Members of our Church will, in a
Century more, amount to a major Part of the whole. I my-
felf began one Church, by occafional Vifits among them, at
Appendices 25
a place called New-London * and that has given rife to others;
fo that the Society, so often fpoken of, maintain at this Day,
and in this Colony, eight Epifcopal Miffionaries, who have
the Care of double that Number of Churches, two School-
mafters, and one Catechift. As to the Character of the In-
dependent Teachers, thofe who have undertaken to draw
their Pidlure, have reprefented them as noted for Enthufi-
afm, and thofe afFe6led Infpirations, which for the moft part
begin in Folly ^ and often (if not always) end in Fice. Some Pens
have diftinguifhed them for a grave Hypocrify, Phlegmatick
Stiffnefs, and Sacerdotal Tyranny ; and the Laity, for Formali-
ty and Precifenefs, and covering over ill Arts and A6ts with a
Cloak of Religion. But I think this Pi61:ure wears too harfh
Features; tho' it muft be owned not to be abfolutely void of
Refemblance. Whatever they have been, there are certain-
ly many valuable People amongft them; and the Introdu6lion
* To show the agency of Dr. MacSparran in erefting the church at New
London, the following letter is transcribed :
Dear Sir, The church in New London originated in 1725, but under
what particular circumstances, does not appear. Dr. MacSparran, however,
appears to have had a prominent and influential agency in laying its foun-
dation. I have been led to the belief, that he first officiated here according
to the forms of the Church of England; but whether by any stated ar-
rangement, or only occasionally, I can find no evidence to determine. The
earliest entry in our Register, is the copy of a subscription paper, by which
the subscribers bind themselves to pay the amount of their several sub-
scriptions, to MacSparran, as Treasurer of the fund, for the erection of
a church, dated June 6, 1725. Under date of Sept. 27, 1725, is a paper,
which seems to be a copy of a voluntary agreement of sundry persons to
constitute themselves a committee, for the purpose of ere6ling a church ;
and under the same date, is the appointment by said committee, ot Mr.
MacSparran as their treasurer. Under date Feb. 25, 1725-6, is a letter from
the committee to Mr. MacSparran, requesting him to appoint a sub-treas-
urer, and to use his good offices in obtaining assistance for them at New-
port, and especially to obtain for them the frame and appurtenances of the
old church there,*"*' to be brought hither and set up. Then follow sundry
letters from him having reference to this business, in one of which he speaks
of coming to New London to preach. The last is dated June 14, 1726, and
after this I find no mention of him in our books. . . .
I regret your application had not been made sooner, as there was living
here, until a few months since, a venerable lady,*'* who was a niece of
Dr. MacSparran ; remembered him well, and might have furnished you
with some valuable fa6ts. ... If in any way I can be useful to you in
your undertaking, you will please to command my services without cere-
mony. R. A. Hallam

its firft Beginnings, and during the UJurpers Reign, was two
diftin6l Jurifdi6lions, under the Names of the Colony of New-

from a large navigable River, that rifes far up in the Inland

Towns, where the General Affembly alternately fit, are Hart-
ford., fituated on the great River, and New-Haven., on the

grandson of the Rev. James Hillhouse, while on a visit to his relations in
Ireland, in the year 1789.
"John Hillhouse, of Free Hall, in the county of Derry, Ireland, was the
son of Abraham Hillhouse, and possessed a landed estate estimated at
about two thousand pounds sterling a year. He was the father of Abraham,
James, William, John, Samuel, and Charles. Abraham settled in Ireland
and inherited the family estate. He was first married to Miss Elizabeth

who was the mother of his two children, Abraham James and Rachel.
"Abraham James died unmarried, in London, in the year 1756 ; Rachel
married a Mr. McCausland, and her family possessed the estate of Free
Hall, or town of Minevenan, and the town of Upper and Lower Main, by
means of the jointure of their grandmother, Ann Ferguson, made in 171 7,
and recorded in 1756. August 28th, 1789, rode out to Free Hall 5 it is
about a mile from Streive, and two miles from Newtown ; went on the
Coleraine road, until we came to the narrow lane, that leads to the old
mansion house. It had been very large, with pavements, gates, walls, gar-
dens, &c., and had been, as I was informed, a fortification; but is now
very much in ruins, and a great part of the house had fallen down. The
garden had been laid out with mounds and walks, and we visited a mound,
erefted by Abraham James Hillhouse, when his father gave an entertain-
ment to all the people of the country.

"James Hillhouse, second son of John Hillhouse, was educated at Glas-
gow, and emigrated to New England about the year 1720. He published
a funeral sermon on the death of his mother. She is styled that eminently
pious gentlewoman, Mrs. Rachel Hillhouse, of Free Hall and county
Londonderry, Ireland, who died January 7th, 171 6. He was a clergy-
man, and settled on a landed estate, which he transmitted to his family
in the town of Montville, in the County of New London, Connedticut. He
married Mary Fitch, granddaughter of the Rev. James Fitch, the first
clergyman of Norwich, by his second wife, Priscilla Mason, daughter of
Major John Mason, the celebrated commander of the expedition against
the Pequots. Mrs. Hillhouse was a woman of superior education and em-
inent piety, as her letters to her sons, which are still preserved, afford proof.
The R.ev. James Hillhouse was installed over the church at Montville, in
17225 he died Dec. 15, 1740, aged fifty-three years. Mrs. Hillhouse died
061. 25, 1768. Their children were,William, James Abraham, and Rachel,
who died young.
"William, eldest son of James Hillhouse and Mary Fitch, lived and died
as a country gentleman, on the portion of his father's estate which fell to
him. He was chosen for fifty-three successive years, to represent his dis-
tri£l in the Legislature of the State, and was the Judge Hillhouse to whom
you refer in your letter. He was married Nov. ist, 1750, to Sarah Griswold,
sister to the first Governor Griswold, a woman of great excellence. She
died March 15, 1777, in the forty-ninth year of her age. Their sons were,
John, James, David, William, Samuel, Oliver, and Thomas. William Hill-
house lived to the age of eighty-eight, and died, I believe, in the year 18 16.
"James Abraham Hillhouse, the second son of the Rev. James Hillhouse,
was bom at Montville about 1730. He was educated at Yale College, and
afted as tutor in that institution for several years with great acceptance.
He was a distinguished lawyer, and for many years a member of the coun-
cil of the State. He died at New Haven, of a slow fever, 06t. 3d, 1775,
in the forty-sixth year of his age, deeply and long lamented. He was a
member of the Centre Church, New Haven, and eminent, even from his
childhood, for his consistent piety. He married Mary Lucas, only daughter
of Augustus Lucas and Mary Caner. Mrs. Hillhouse long survived him,
and closed a life, dignified by understanding and piety, at the venerable
age of eighty-eight years, in the summer of 1821. They had no child, but
adopted James, the second son of William Hillhouse, who was received into
the family at the age of seven years, and was long known to the public as
treasurer of Yale College, United States Senator, and first commissioner
of the Connefticut school fund. Mr. James Hillhouse was twice married:
first to Sarah Lloyd, Jan. ist, 1 779, a niece of Dr. James Lloyd, of Boston,
who died the same yearj second to Rebecca Woolsey, daughter of Col.
Melani5lhon Taylor Woolsey, of Dosories, Long Island, who died Dec.
29th, 181 3. He left two sons, James Abraham Hillhouse, of Sachem's
Wood, New Haven, the author of Hadad and other poems, who was bom
Sept. 26th, 1789, and died Jan. 5th, 1841 ; and Augustus Lucas Hillhouse,
for many years a resident of France.
"The late James A. Hillhouse left no son, but his eldest daughter has
been recently married to William Hillhouse, M. D., youngest son of
Thomas Hillhouse, Albany County, in the State of New York.

with Mr. Laurens, of South Carolina, who had married hissister. His daugh-
ter, Barsheba, was afterwards Madam Johnson, of Newport, distinguished
for her literary attainments, and died the wife of Matthew Robinson, Esq.
Mrs. Hillhouse had books, belonging to her grandfather, in five or six dif-
ferent languages. Mr. Lucas married Barsheba, daughter of Rev. Joseph
Eliot, son of the Rev. John Eliot, known as the 'Apostle of the Indians,''
she being the mother of his son. It is believed that he was buried in the
grave-yard at Newport. Mrs. Lucas, wife of Augustus Lucas the younger,
was a sister of the Rev. Henry Caner,^** for thirty years reftor of King's
Chapel, Boston. Both she and Madam Caner lived many years, and both
died in the family of the Hon. James Abraham Hillhouse, one at the age of
eighty-four and the other eighty-nine."
Rev. Joseph Eliot, before mentioned, married Sarah, daughter of Gov-
ernor William Brenton, and through her Mary Lucas (afterwards Hill-
house) inherited various tra6ls of land in Narragansett.
*Thomas Clap was the son of Stephen, and grandson of Thomas Clap,
who migrated to New England with the early settlers, between 1630 and
1639, and settled in Scituate, Massachusetts, in 1640. Thomas Clap, the
son of Stephen, was born in Scituate in 1703, and graduated at Harvard
in 1722. He was one of the most distinguished men of his time. He was
ordained at Windham, Connecticut, in 1726, and settled over the church
there. He was chosen president of Yale College in 1740, and continued
in the chair until 1764, when he resigned 5 and, on a visit in Scituate in
1765, he died.
President Stiles, his successor, speaks of him as standing in the first
ranks of the learned men of his age. "He studied," says he, "the higher
branches of mathematics, and was one of the first philosophers America
has produced, and equalled by no man except Professor Winthrop. As a
theologian^ he stood very high ; as president of the college, he was inde-
fatigable and very successful in promoting the interests of learning and
raising the reputation of the college. He was the means of building the
college edifice and chapel, and gave frequent public dissertations in the
various departments of learning. Mr. Clap construfted the first orrery, or
planetarium, in America. He also made a colleftion of materials for a his-
tory of Connecticut. He wrote many books, or rather pamphlets, in de-
fence of the New England churches in Whitefield's time, from 1734 to
1755. That he was a powerful opponent to Whitefield, and did much to
counteract his disorganizing measures, one can easily understand, when,
in looking over the pamphlets, we find him quoting Whitefield's own
words, and declaring himself ready to testify to the correftness of his quo-
tation, viz.: 'I intend to turn thegenerality of the ministers of the country
out of their pulpits (who are half beasts and half devils), and bring over
ministers from England.'" Mr. Clap also wrote a valuable history of Yale
College,

Rhode-IJland^ made the Purchafe above-faid, and employed the
intermediate Time between the Sentence of their Expulfion,
and the Execution of it, in removing their Families and Effects

Rhode-IJIandRefugees refolved themfelves by their own^ inftead

a regular and legal Corporation, 'till King Charles the Second

In ConneSiicut^ I obferved to you, that Independency was
the Religion of the State; but in Rhode-IJland no Religion is
eftabliflied. There a Man may, with Impunity, be of any
Society, or of none at all ; but the Quakers are, for the moft
part, the People in Power. As Quakerifm broke out firft in
England in 165 1, fo, in 1654, Emiffaries of that Enthufi-
afm were difpatched to the IVeJi- Indies; and no fooner did
their Preachers appear in Rhode-IJland^ but they found many
of the Pofterity of the firft Planters too well prepared for the
Reception of that peftilent Herefy. The twenty-four Years
that had run out from their firft Removal from England, and
the feventeen that had elapfed from their fecond Settlement
at Rhode-IJland^ had carried off the Stage of Life moft of
thofe who received the firft Rudiments of Religion in the
Mother Country. Their Defcendents and Succeffors, with-
out Schools, without a regular Clergy, became neceffarily
rude and illiterate; and, as Quakerifm prevailed. Learning
was decried, Ignorance and Herefy fo increafed, that neither
Epiphanius's^ nor Sir Richard Blac^more's Catalogues, con-
tain more heterodox and different Opinions in Religion than
were to be found in this little Corner. The Magiftrates of the
Maffachufets, who had before bore fo hard upon the Rhode-
IJlanders., hanged four of thefe firft Quaker Speakers. This,
with other Severities, exercifed on their Profelites in that Pro-
vince, contributed to fend Shoals of thefe Sectaries to Rhode-
Appendices 33
IJland^ as to a fafer San6luary. This will account to you, for
the Power and Number of Quakers in this Colony; who,
notwithftanding, did not aim at Civil Authority, until their
Brethren of Pennfylvania had got into the Saddle of Power;
and, as they were fure of the major Vote, they thought, and
they, as it has proved, thought right, they might exercife thofe
Powers by the Connivance, which their Brethren did by the
Confent of the Crown. In 1 700, after Quakerifm and other
Herefies had, in their Turns, ruled over and tinged all the
Inhabitants for the Space of forty-fix Years, the Church of
England, that had been loft here through the Negle6t of the
Crown, entered as it were, unobferved and unfeen, and yet
not without fome Succefs. A little Church was built in Nexu-
port, the Metropolis of the Colony, in 1 702, and that in which
I officiate in Narraganfet, in i 707. There have been two In-
cumbents before me ; but neither of them had refolution enough
to grapple with the Difficulties of the Miffion above a Year
a-piece. I entered on this Miffion in 1721 ; and found the
People not a Tabula rafa, or clean Sheet of Paper, upon which
I might make any Impreffions I pleafed; but a Field full of
Briars and Thorns, and noxious weeds, that were all to be
eradicated, before I could implant in them the Simplicity of
Truth. However, by God's Bleffing, I have brought over to
the Church fome Hundreds, and, among the Hundreds I have
baptized, there are at leaft 150 who received the Sacrament
at my Hands, from twenty Years old, to feventy or eighty.
Ex Pede Herculem. By this, you may guefs, in how unculti-
vated a Country my Lot fell. By my excurfions, and Out-

*This was called the Westerly church. It was built on a lot of land given
for that purpose by George Ninigret, Chief Sachem of the Narraganset
Indians. It joined the Champlin farm, and, when the church went down,
was held by the Champlins by possession.
The town of Westerly was divided after the ere£tion of the church, and
it fell on the Charlestown side of the division line. The church was situ-
ated on the north lot of the late Champlin farm, fronting on the public
road now owned by Robert Hazard, son of Joseph, and within a half a
mile from the residence of the then Sachem. The deed was as follows:

The Mr. Punderson alluded to graduated at Yale College in 1726, and
was afterwards ordained a Congregational minister over the second church
in Groton. In 1732, he came into the Episcopal Church, and crossed
the Atlantic to be ordained. On his return he reorganized a church at the
village of Poquetannuck, in North Groton, in 1738, which has ever since
existed, though it has always been small, and has never been able to sustain
a pastor of its own, but has principally relied on Norwich for ministerial
supply. Mr. Punderson was for some years an itinerant missionary of the
Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, and preached at Groton,
Hebron, and other places adjacent, from 1740 to 1750. He was the first
regular officiating clergyman at Norwich, upon the ereftion of their church,
in 1750. The Society's abstrafts for the year ending 1753 say: "The
Rev. Mr. Punderson, the Society's itinerant missionary in Connecticut,
having petitioned the Society to be settled a missionary, with only a part
of his salary (which is ^70 per annum), to the members of the Church of
England in New Haven, the place of his nativity (where a new church
is built, to which Mr. Punderson gave the greatest part of the timber),
and to those of the neighbouring towns of Guilford and Branford ; the So-
ciety, out of regard to the advanced years of Mr. Punderson, and to his
past good services, and to the great troubles he has met with from some
oppressive persons in Connecticut, have granted his request; and have ap-
pointed him their missionary to the three towns of New Haven, Guil-
ford, and Branford, with a salary of ^^50 per annum; and desired him to
recommend some proper young person, educated in one of the colleges
there, to succeed him in the remaining part of his itinerant mission." In
a letter, dated November 12, 1762, he remarks, that although he had
entered upon his thirtieth year of service, he had, during that long time,
"been enabled to officiate every Sunday except one; and that amid many
difficulties and discouragements, he saw much to cheer him. In Guilford,
New Haven, and Branford, he had six churches and one hundred and
sixty communicants; and had altogether, by the blessing of God on his
endeavours, been the means of raising eleven churches in Connecticut." He
shortly after removed to Rye, in the State of New York, where he died at
an advanced age.

Colonies, the Law lays an Obligation to go to fome Sort of
Worfliip on Sunday; but here, Liberty of Confcience is car-
ried to an irreligious Extreme. The Produce of this Colony
is principally Butter and Cheefe, fat Cattle, Wool, and fine
Horfes, that are exported to all Parts of the Englijh America.

* The breed of horses called " Narragansett Pacers," ^^7 once so celebrated for
fleetness, endurance, and speed, has become extinft. These horses were
highly valued for the saddle, and transported the rider with great pleas-
antness and sureness of foot. The pure bloods could not trot at all. For-
merly they had pace races : Littleneck Beach, in South Kingstown, of
one mile in length, was the race course. A sil-uer tankard was the prize,
and high bets were otherwise made on speed. Some of those prize tank-
ards were remaining a few years ago. Traditions respefting the swiftness
of these horses are almost incredible. Watson, in his Historical Tales of
Olden Times, says : "In olden time the horses most valued were pacers,
now so odious deemed. To this end the breed was propagated with care.
The Narragansett racers of Rhode Island were in such repute, that they
were sent for, at much trouble and expense, by some who were choice in
their seleftions. The aged Thomas Matlock, of Philadelphia, was pas-
sionately fond of races in his youth — he said all genteel horses were pacers.
A trotting horse was deemed a base breed. All the races were pace races.
Thomas Bradford, of Philadelphia, says they were run in a circular form,
making two miles for a heat. At the same time they ran straight races
of a mile."
Mr. I. P. Hazard, in a communication, states that "within ten years
one of my aged neighbours (Enoch Lewis), since deceased, informed me,
that he had been to Virginia as one of the riding boys, to return a similar
visit of the Virginians to this seftion, in a contest on the turf; and that
such visits were common with the racing sportsmen of Narragansett and
Virginia when he was a boy. Like the old English country gentlemen
from whom they were descended, they were a horse-racing, fox-hunting,

and Ships, from 60 Tons and upwards, that belong to this
Colony ; but, as they are rather Carriers for other Colonies,
than furniflied here with their Cargoes, you will go near to
conclude that we are lazy and greedy of Gain, fince, inftead
of cultivating the Lands, we improve too many Hands in
Trade. This indeed is the Cafe. There are here, which is no
good Symptom, a vaft many Law-Suits; more in one Year
feasting generation. My [great ?] grandfather, Governor Robinson, in-
troduced the famous saddle horse, the 'Narragansett Pacer,' known in the
last century over all the civilized part of North America and the West
Indies, from whence they have lately been introduced into England as a
ladies' saddle horse, under the name of the Spanish jennet. Governor Rob-
inson imported the original from Andalusia, in Spain, and the raising of
them for the West India market was one of the objefts of the early plant-
ers of this country. My [great ?] grandfather, Robert Hazard, raised about
one hundred annually, and often loaded two vessels a year with them, and
other produfts of his farm, which sailed direft from the South Ferry to the
West Indies, where they were in great demand. One of the causes of the
loss of that famous breed here was the great demand for them in Cuba,
when that island began to cultivate sugar extensively. The planters be-
came suddenly rich, and wanted the pacing horses for themselves, and
their wives and daughters, to ride, faster than we could supply them ; and
sent an agent to this country to purchase them on such terms as he could,
but to purchase at all events. I have heard my father say he knew the
agent very well, and he made his home at the Rowland Brown house, at
Tower Hill, where he commenced purchasing and shipping, until all the
good ones were sent off. He never let a good one, that could be purchased,
escape him. This, and the faft that they were not so well adapted to draught
as other horses, was the cause of their being negle(51ed, and I believe the
breed is now extinfl in this seftion. My father described the motion of
this horse as differing from others, in that its backbone moved through the
air in a straight line, without inclining the rider from side to side, as does
the common racker or pacer of the present day. Hence it was very easy,
and being of great power and endurance, they would perform a journey
of one hundred miles a day, without injury to themselves or rider."
Those kept for family use were never used in harness — draughting stiff-
ened their limbs. In the Revolutionary War, trotting horses became more
valuable for teaming than pacers, and would sell better in market, and
could be easier matched. After the war, trotters were more valuable for
transportation, and the raising of pacing horses consequently ceased. Only
a few of the country gentlemen kept them for their own use. In the year
1800, there was only one living. An aged lady, now living in Narragan-
sett, in 1 79 1, rode one of these pacers, on a ladies' side-saddle, the first
day to Plainfield, thirty miles; the next day to Hartford, forty; stayed
there two days, then rode to New Haven, forty; from thence to New Lon-
don, forty; and then home to Narragansett, forty miles more. She savs
she experienced no sensible fatigue. (See Appendix F.) Horses and the mode
of travelling, like everything else, have undergone the change of fashion.

Weymouth; but the Plymotheans foon proved fo bad Neigh-
bours to them, and irritated the Natives againft them, that
Mr. Morrel^''^ the'w Minifter, and his People, were fain to flee

wanton with Power and Privilege, it became neceffary to
quell the Ea6lions in thefe little Colonies, by ilTuing ^uo
Warranto ^ againft their Charters, and entering up Judgment
in the King\ Bench againft them, as forfeited. King William
granted them a more limited Patent, by which they are united
into one Province, by the Name of the Province of the

Power of appointing them a Governor, a Lieutenant Gov-

Houfes, and other Sorts of Lumber. They have one College at
New Cambridge^ and many petty, ill-taught Grammar-Schools ;
yet, under thefe mean Advantages, they are a more polite and
regular People than fome of their Neighbours. This is a very
large and populous Province, and has many Irijh Settlements

Countrymen, tho' lefs efteemed than they ought to be, are

Induftry and Riches.

the year 1700; was educated at Trinity College, Dublin; received the de-
gree of A.M. 29th July, 1729; was ordained by the Bishop of London
for a society in Providence, Rhode Island; was, in 1736, sent as missionary
to Queen's Chapel, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where he remained till
his death. He died suddenly, at Cambridge, Massachusetts, June 11, 1773,
and on the following Monday, the i6th of June, his remains were in-
terred in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and a funeral sermon, from Ze-
chariah i. 5, was preached by the Rev. Mr. Bass,*^^ of Newbury, Mas-
sachusetts. He left two sons and four daughters. He died at the age of
seventy-four. He had a flourishing church, and numbered more than two
hundred communicants. Charles Burroughs

More Eaftward ftill, and beyond the Bay of Fundy^ is the
U Acadian Country called Nova Scotia. This Country was
erected into a Colony of Scotch by King James the Firft, their

the French Fort in Port-Royal^ and with that Garrifon the

transferred their Allegiance, but retained their Religion, and
are at this Day called the Neutral French; but, by their
behaviour in the late War, one may fee that they are not fo
fond of Englijh Liberty, as of what we are too much ufed
to call French Tyranny. Port-Royal^ in honour of Queen
Ann^ changed its Name into Annapolis Royal., and is ever

and in the fame Province, is the new Town of Halifax.^
which has made fo much Noife in the publick Prints: It con-
fifts of about 5000 Inhabitants, befides the Troops. It muft
be fupported well from England for at leaft twenty Years to
come, before it can become independent, or be able to defend
and provide for itfelf. If it is a Barrier fettled in earneft, it
may in Time make Amends for the Lofs of Louipjourg., taken
by your Countryman, the brave Admiral Warren; but if it is
intended no more than to amufe, and be neglected, it will
not ftand long before French Forces, when there is a Rupture
with that Crown. But this is a delicate Point, and requires
to be touched tenderly.

there is no Man of War, the Captain of the firft Englijh Ship
that comes to Anchor is Chief Commander.

*Dr. MacSparran in his will, which was executed before his last visit to
England, bequeathed the documents and manuscripts, which he had col-
lefted, to his wife, to be io/^ by her. This induces thebelief that he thought
them valuable. He survived her. He mentions, in his America DlsseBed,
that he contemplated publishing an extended history of the colonies, es-
pecially of New England. It is in tradition, that he had written a history
of the Narragansett country, and both were looked for with great interest
before his death. His decease being sudden, these manuscripts were ex-
pefted to be found among his papers, but they were not. It was conjec-
tured that he either carried them with him to Europe, or that they were
sent to some friend there, and now remain unpublished; or if published,
no copies were sent to this country, as he had deceased and his friends were
unknown. Not more than two or three copies of his America DisseBed are
known to be extant,'"^ that was published in Dublin before his last visit.
The one published in the Appendix is printed from the copy presented by
him to his niece [Mrs. Lodowick Updike].
The piftures spoken of remain in this country. Mrs. Frederic Allen, of
Gardiner in Maine, the daughter of the late Oliver Whipple, and grand-
daughter of the late Dr. Sylvester Gardiner, of Boston, in a letter states
that "the pi6lures of Dr. MacSparran and wife'°* (who was Dr. Gardi-
ner's sister) are now in our family. That of Dr. MacSparran is a bust j he

fend you a Sermon, occafioned by the Enthufiafms fo rife
here, and fome Diforders arifen in neighbouring Churches,
is in his gown and bands. It was painted by Smibert.'°' In a recent work
on American Antiquities, there is a note saying, that soon after Bishop
Berkeley and Smibert arrived in this country, they went to Dr. MacSpar-
ran's, where they remained some time. It was there, probably, he painted the
pi(5lures we now have. My great-aunt, Mrs. MacSparran, died in England
in 1755. I have heard from my mother that the Do6tor"s visit to England
was to be ordained Bishop ; but while there, a great excitement occurred
at home, with regard to receiving an English Bishop, which, together with
the death of his wife, led him to return, saying, 'that he had rather dwell
in the hearts of his parishioners, than wear all the Bishop's gowns in the
world.'" [The portrait of Dr. MacSparran is now (1907) in the possession
of Bowdoin College ; that of his wife in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.]
The great objeil: of the Dean and Smibert was to see the North Ameri-
can Indians. Dr. Barton says: "The portrait painter, Mr. Smibert, who
accompanied Dr. Berkeley, then Dean of Deny, afterwards Bishop of
Cloyne, from Italy to America, in 1728, was employed by the Grand
Duke of Florence ^°^ to paint two or three Siberian Tartars presented to
the Duke by the Czar of Russia. Mr. Smibert, on his landing at Narra-
gansett with Dr. Berkeley, instantly recognized the Indians to be the same
people as the Siberian Tartars, whose pictures he had painted."
Smibert has been confirmed in this opinion by Dr. Wolff, the great
traveller, in the Eastern nations, in search of the Lost Tribes. One of his
objefts in visiting this country a few years since was to see the North
American Indians, for the same purpose. Respefting them he says: "It
will naturally be asked, what I think of that extraordinary question lately
so much mooted in Europe and America, and so much connected with my
own researches (the discovery of the Lost Tribes), 'Whether the Indians
sprang from the Ten Tribes of the Dispersion ?' With respeft to ancient
tradition, the rule of VIncentius Lirinensis, though not Infallible, is one of
the best criteria: 'What always has been believed, by all, and every-
where.' This is not traceable in the Indians. They have not at all times,
and in all places, and all conjointly affirmed, 'We are the Ten Lost Tribes
of the Dispersion.' On the contrary, they know nothing of any such tra-
dition. I trace no remarkable affinities in their language to lead to such a
conclusion. I am sure all nations will be found conne61ed with the Jewish,
as the great centre of spiritual worship, all rights will be found, in their
uses and abuses, to maintain somewhat of the great principles inculcated
In the Jewish law; but I am not prepared, from such grounds, the result
of a common origin from the first parents, to affirm them all to be neces-
sarily descendants from the Lost Tribes, because, in sooth, no other hypo-
thesis suits the reigning taste. People who have a preconceived favourite
system try to maintain it ad ultimum, and think they see it realized, when
nothing of the kind In reality exists. Worthy people in America desired me
to travel about with them, in order that I might convince the Indians of
theirextraftlon from the Jews 5 but this was putting the argument the wrong
way. I wanted the Indians to convince me of their origin, and not to aid in
deluding them into this notion, as I perceived many well-intentioned people
did. I came among the Mohican tribes near New York, and asked them,
'Whose descendants are you ?' They replied, 'We are of Israel.' I asked,

P.S. In coafting the country, I've faid nothing of the cli-
mate. You are to know then, that, as the Englijh American
Main-land Dominions extend from 32 to 45 Degrees of
North Latitude, the Weather muft, in fome Meafure, be as
we are nearer to, or farther from, the Sun. In general, the
Air is infinitely more clear and ferene than in England or
Ireland; and our Nearnefs to the Sun occafions more frequent
and loud Claps of Thunder, and {harper Lightning, than you
have. It is no unufual Thing for Houfes, and Stacks of Hay,
and Grain, to be Burnt; and Men and Cattle are often killed
by the fharp Lightning. In New England^ the Tranfitions
'Who told you so?' and expe6led to learn much ancient tradition. To my
great surprise they said, 'Mr. and Mrs. Simmons, of Scotland.' I asked,
'What did ypur ancestors tell you about it?' 'Our ancestors told us that
we were born under the earth, and a woman among us looking out of the
earth was taken hold of by a spirit, and that spirit led us to the surface of
the earth; and there we lived in peace until the white men came, by whom
we were subdued.'
" Many of their customs, besides words in their language, and their phy-
siognomy rather seem to betray a Tartar race. Thus, for instance, they
have the word Kelaun, great, which is also used in the same sense at Bok-
hara. They have nine as a favourite number, which the Tartars also have.
The Turcomans also play on a flute, in a melancholy strain, around the
tent of their beloved mistress, and the Indians adopt a similar fashion."

To the Reverend PAUL LIMRICK.
Narraganset, New England,
Nov. 10, 1752, N. S.
Dear Cousin and Rev. Sir,
YOURS of the 13th of Jpril, which I received laft
Month, gave me a Mixture of Joy and Sorrow. I re-
joiced to hear you, your Brothers, and Sifter, were ahve; but
feel an Affliction for you on account of the Mifbehaviour of
your Son and the Misfortunes of Mr. IVhite^ from which I
hope, as you do, that he will emerge, and fhall dire61: this
Letter to his Care. I once faw Searfon^ whom I confidered as
{hallow; and pitied my dear Frank^ who deferved a better
Fate. I cannot feel as a Father, having never been one in
any Shape: but if the Word of God be true, their Yearnings
muft be very tender; and I pray God to fupport you, and
Mrs. Li?nrtck^ under the Burden of Grief brought on you
by the Heat and Headinefs of an unexperienced Youth. He
cannot be unmarried, 'tis true; but he may mourn his difo-
bedient Rafhnefs, and reform; and then. Sir, I hope your Af-
fections will return, and your fatherly Afliftance bear a Pro-
portion to his Merit and Wants. Papifts are Chriftians, and to
be preferred to many Proteftant Heretics I could name to you.
My Brother and his Wife died a Year ago laft Summer,
at a fhort Diftance of Time from one another; but I have
had no Letter from any of his Children, but his eldeft Daugh-
ter, who came too late to fee either of them alive, and is
meditating a Return home. I aflifted him to the Amount of
much more than he brought with him; and I fancy his Chil-
dren, with Induftry and proper Management, may live inde-
pendent. I was againft his coming this Way, and was in Eng-
land when he landed in Pennfylvania; but on my Return, I
enabled him to make a good Purchafe, and ever fince I have
left them to ftiift for themfelves, as I was left myfelf.*
I have been engaged in a Law-Suit about Glebe-Land
twenty-eight Years, and the Independent Teacher has at laft

forced to fit down by the Lofs of at leaft 6oo/. Sterling; but
I thank God I am not exhaufted : I hope the Merit of even
this Lofs will turn out in my Favour when I go to England.
Laft Poft brought me a Letter from the Bifhop of London,
confoling me on the Lofs of a Caufe fo juft on the Church's
Side; wherein his Lordfhip is pleafed to fay, that he hopes my
Lofs may be made up^ and whatever Service he can do me^ I may
depend on his Ajjijiance. If I can but obtain my Wife's Con-
fent, or her Company rather, along with me, and can get in
fome Money I have out on Bonds, I believe I fhall go to Eng-
land next Spring; but as for my Lands, Stock, and Slaves, I
(hall not fell them, left I (hould be difappointed of a Provi-
lion in one of your two Iflands. As the Shadow lengthens as
the Sun grows low, fo, as Years increafe, my Longings after
Europe increafe alfo. My Labours and Toils are inexpreffible,
and Age makes them ftill more intolerable.
Vagrant, illiterate Preachers fwarm where I am; and the
native Novanglian Clergy of our Church, againft the Opin-
ion of the European Millionaries, have introduced a Cuftom
of young Scholars going about and reading Prayers, £5"c. where
there are Vacancies, on purpofe that they may ftep into them
when they can get Orders; yea, they have fo reprefented
the Neceflity and Advantage of the Thing, that the very
Society connive at, if not encourage it. This occafioned my
preaching, and afterwards printing, the inclofed Difcourfe,
on which I fhall be glad to have your Sentiments. I have
fent three of them to the North, to Col. Gary., coufm Tom
Limrick^ and William Stevenfon^ of Knockan. And as this was
a bold Step, I have fent one to the Bifhop of London^ and
other Members of the Society; and I hope, inftead of procur-
ing me a Reproof, it will open their own Eyes, and make
them guard better againft Irregularities, which, when they
happen to be coeval with any Church, are hard to be re-
formed.

Pilgrim on Earth, and not knovv^ing but my Carcafe may fall
in a ftrange Land, it would be pleafing to me, that my Rela-
tions, in Time to come, might be able to fpeak of me w^ith
Authority. Forgive this Whim in one that loves you well,
and who, if ever he is fettled in Europe^ and has a little more
Leifure than he can have here, intends to preferve his own

fort; but how you would fancy a full-bodied, fat Fellow, like
old Archibald., of the Hafs^^°l can't tell, till I try. God grant
we may once more fee one another!
Our Attention here has been for fome Time taken up with
the News of Meafures on Foot to unite Ireland to England.,
as Scotland is. I pray God they may never take Effe6l; for
if they do, farewell Liberty. You are greater Slaves already
than our Negroes; and an Union of that Kind would make
you more Underlings than you are now. The Accounts of
the open Irreligion of the greater Ifland, inclines me to im-
agine that Ireland is on the Brink of obtaining (as, if thefe
Accounts are true, it deferves) its ancient Name of Infula
SanSiorum : But if ever you come into a clofer Conne6lion
with the more eaftern Ifland, Corruption will increafe. Ped-
lars be promoted to Power, but the Clergy and landed Inter-
eft will fink into Difefteem. I fuppofe thofe that are fent to

fleecing to be a better Bufinefs than feeding the Flock. I wifli
all Men well, and hope, notwithftanding unpromifing Ap-
pearances, that the Times will mend, the Church be carefl^ed,
and true vital Religion gain Ground. In thefe Parts, it muft
be owned, that in thefe laft thirty Years, and with little or no
temporal Encouragement, but the contrary, our Church has
taken an amazing Spread; and though we have ftill more of

had been long ere now healed up by their Sons. I do not
mean by this, to difpofe you to think me ftiff, or rigid, or un-
charitable; but if we agree in Subftance and Fundamentals,
why fhould we keep out of a national Church for Matters
confefledly indifferent? Were I near you, I would lend you
Books that have weighed much with me; and after you had
read them, fhould you continue to think as you were taught
to do, I fhould flill love you as a Brother, and as indeed I
always did. — But no more of this.

he left his Family independent, and able to do for themfelves.

go for England for ten or twelve Months, to go to the Bath

mand; and if he fees that I can ferve the Interefl of Chriji's

Whereas academical honours were created by our forefathers, in order
to honour by peculiar marlis of favour such as have distinguished them-
selves in letters, and whereas we have ascertained that the Rev. James
MacSparran, Master of Arts, a Presbyter of the Church of England,
of the British colony called Rhode Island, is distinguished among th:e
divines in the West Indies, occupied with the propagation of the Gos-
pel, for his talents, learnmg, good deportment, judgement and gravity,
deserving to be numbered among the first thereof, and especially to have
suffered at the hands of those dissenting from our church, with who?n
he has contended for thirteen years, or thereabouts, manfully, piously,
prudently, and as becometh a Christian, but not without great damage
to his worldly affairs: Now, Know, ye, thmt we, the Chancellor, offi-
cers and students aforesaid, in a solemn and numerously attended senate
of our doilors and officers on Tuesday, to wit, the fifth day of April, in

Appendix B
Reports and AbstraSls : Reports of the Missionaries
of Rhode Island to the Society for the Propagation
of the Gospel in Foreign Parts^ taken from the Ab-
straSls of their Anniversary Proceedings,
AS the reports of the missionaries were irregular until the
^Xx. y^^"" 1728, we have taken the liberty to precede them
by extra6ting from Humphreys's Historical Account of the So-
ciety for the Propagation of the Gospel^xhe reports from the Rhode
Island missionaries up to that time. He says: "The Church-
Wardens of Rhode Island wrote to the Bishop of London, and
to the Society, in the year 1 702, declaring their early zeal, that
though they had not assembled themselves, to worship God
after the manner of the Church of England above four years,
they had built a handsome church. The Society resolved to
send a missionary hither, both on account of their being first,
and also a numerous people, settled on a flourishing island.
The Rev. Mr. Honyman was appointed in 1704. He dis-
charged the duties of his mission with great diligence. Though
the island was full of persons of many persuasions, especially
Quakers, the Governor himself being such, yet by his prudent
behaviour, he gave offence to none, and gained many to the
Church. He continued there till the year 1 708, and then came
to England upon his own private affairs, but returned soon to
his cure again. There were three little towns on the continent,
Freetown, Tiverton, and Little Compton, which had requested
a missionary of the Society. Mr. Honyman was requested to
visit them by turns on week days, till they could be supplied by
a minister. Mr. Honyman frequently crossed over to them,
and preached to them in a meeting-house, which he obtained
the use of, and which was commodiously situated in the centre
of the three towns. He said, the people at first, very ignorant
and rude in religious matters, were yet very grave and attentive
at divine worship. He performed this laborious duty several
years. In 1712, a missionary was sent to these towns; Mr.
Honyman began to have a little more leisure, but he was zea-
lous to promote the work he had engaged in, and set up a lee-
6o Appendices
ture, and preached once a fortnight at Portsmouth, a town at
the farthest end of the island, and soon found very great en-
couragement to continue it, without any reward, but an un-
expedled and surprisingly large audience of people of many
persuasions.
"About this time he represented also very earnestly to the
Society the want of a missionary at a town called Providence,
about thirty miles distant from Newport, a place very con-
siderable from the number of its inhabitants. Through the
want of instru6lion, the people-were become quite rude, and
void of all knowledge in religion; yet they were of a good
and teachable disposition. He visited this place, and preached
to the greatest number of people that he ever had together
since he came to America. He writes thus: 'There is a great
prospedt of settling a church here; and if the Society will send
a missionary to a people so much in want, and so desirous
of receiving the Gospel, perhaps this might prove one of the
greatest a6ts of charity ever done yet.' A little while after, he
writes thus : ' I have preached there again, and the number of
people is so increased, that no house there could hold them,
so that I was obliged to preach in the open fields. The people
are now going about to get subscriptions to build a church.
If the Society knew the necessity there is of a missionary
here, they would immediately send one; in the meantime, I
shall give them all the assistance I can.' The Society, upon
this letter, appointed in the next year (1723) the Rev. George
Pigot missionary there. Besides the faithful discharge of his
duty at his own station, Mr. Honyman had been further in-
strumental in gathering several congregations at Narragan-
sett, Tiverton, Freetown, and at the above-mentioned place.
Providence. In the year 1724, accounts came that he had
baptized eighty within the two past years, of which nineteen
were grown persons, three of them negroes, and two mulat-
toes; and that there were probably belonging to his church
at Newport above fifty communicants who lived in that
place, exclusive of strangers. The Church people grew now
too numerous to be accommodated with seats in the old church,
and many more offered to join themselves to the Church com-
munion. Mr. Honyman proposed to the church members the
building of a new church and, subscribing himself thirty
Appendices 6i
pounds, the people concurred and he soon after obtained a
thousand pounds subscription for that purpose; but it was es-
timated the building would cost twice as much, in that coun-
try money. However, a sufficient sum was raised and, in
the year 1726, the church was completed and Mr. Honyman
preached in it. The body of the church is seventy feet long
and forty-six feet wide; it has two tiers of windows, is full
of pews, and hath galleries all round to the east end. It is
owned, by people there, to be the most beautiful timber struc-
ture in America. The old church is given to the neighbouring
town of Warwick, who had no church of their own. There
are Quakers and two sorts of Baptists^^^jn Newport, yet the
members of the Church of England increase daily ; and though
there are not four alive of the first promoters of the Church
who worship in this place, yet there are now above four times
the number of all the first. This last church is generally full.
Newport is the chief town on the island; is the place of resi-
dence of the Governor; is a good compact town, large enough
to make a considerable village in England. Mr. Honyman con-
tinues our missionary here, and hath under his care also Free-
town, Tiverton, and Little Compton.
" Having just mentioned Providence, where Mr. Hony-
man had gathered a congregation, and Mr. Pigot was ap-
pointed missionary, it may be proper to give next an account
of the mission there. The people, as described above, were
negligent of all religion, till about the year 1722; the very
best were such as called themselves Baptists, or Quakers, but
it is feared many were Gortonians or Deists. This township
is twenty miles square, and the present number of inhabit-
ants is about four thousand. Out of all these, there was a
small number, who in the year 1722, seriously refle6ling on
that irreligious state wherein they lived, resolved to endea-
vour to build a church, get a minister, and live like Christians.
They began to gather contributions among themselves ; they
got two hundred and fifty pounds ; they solicited their friends
about them : they got two hundred pounds from Rhode Is-
land, one hundred pounds from Boston, and twenty from
other places. With this sum, and about two hundred pounds
more, which they borrowed, they raised, on St. Barnabas's
Day, 1 722, a timber building for a church, being sixty feet in
62 Appendices
length, forty-one in breadth, and twenty-six high. The chief
contributor was Colonel Joseph Whipple, who gave one hun-
dred pounds. The Rev. Mr. Honyman gave ten pounds, and
Mr. MacSparran, another of the Society's missionaries, gave
five pounds. The people live dispersed over this large town-
ship ; they are industrious, employed chiefly in husbandry and
handicraft, though very lately they have begun to enter upon
foreign trade and navigation. Mr. Pigot,upon his first coming
here, had not much above one hundred attending divine wor-
ship; however, the numbers increased and he baptized, in less
than two years, six grown persons, and the communicants
were seventeen. And in the year 1727, he baptized eleven
children, three grown persons, and the communicants were
forty-four. The reader must remark that this mission is but
just begun, and the church members are daily increasing.
"The people of Narragansett made application to the Bi-
shop of London, about the year 1707, for a missionary, and
built a church soon after by the voluntary contributions of
the inhabitants. It is a timber building, and is commodiously
situated for those who generally attend divine service. It is
distant from Providence, the nearest church, twenty-seven
miles. This county is above thirty miles long, and between
twelve and thirteen broad. There are near four thousand in-
habitants, including about two hundred negroes. Their busi-
ness is husbandry, and their farms are large, so that the farm-
ers seem rather graziers. They live at great distances from
each other, and improve their lands in breeding horses, cattle,
and sheep and carry the greatest supply of provisions to Bos-
ton market.
" The people, who appeared at first desirous of the Church
of England worship, were but few, but they were very ear-
nest in it. In the year 171 7, the Society appointed the Rev.
Mr. Guy to that place. He arrived there soon after, and en-
tered upon his mission with much zeal. The members of the
Church of England received him with tokens of much joy.
They presently provided him with a convenient house, and,
because it was at some distance from the church, they pre-
sented him with a horse and, in many other way s, shewed marks
of their favour. He was very well respe61:ed by the people, and
several, who lived regardless of all religion before he came.
Appendices 63
began to be constant attendants at divine worship. He resided
at Narragansett (otherwise called Kingstown), and visited, by
turns, the people of Freetown, Tiverton, Little Compton, and
some other places. This mission was very laborious and the
places were far distant, the weather here changing suddenly
into severe extremes. Mr. Guy contraited indispositions and
found himself not able to bear the fatigues, and was therefore,
upon his request, removed to South Carolina, in 17 19. The
Rev. Mr. Honyman, in the vacancy of this church, visited the
people at times and kept them together. The Rev. Mr. Mac-
Sparran was appointed missionary there in 1720. In the fol-
lowing year he acquainted the Society, that his congregation,
though small at first, consisted then of about one hundred and
sixty, with twelve Indian and black servants ; that he had bap-
tized thirty persons, six of them of a grown age, between
eighteen and fifty; the communicants were but twelve. But,
the next year, the members of the Church of England in-
creased to two hundred and sixty, and he baptized ten grown
persons; and in the following year fifteen grown persons de-
sired and received baptism, and all the Church people, young
and old, amounted to three hundred. Mr. MacSparran con-
tinues now in this mission."

congregation,"
"The Rev. Mr. MacSparran, minister at Narragansett,that
his congregation consists of about one hundred and sixty, with
twelve Indian and black servants; that he has baptized thirty

ship of the Church every Lord's day, and join in the services
with the greatest gravity and decency imaginable, many of
whom, before his coming, were strangers to the liturgy of the
Church of England."

that there are properly belonging to that church above fifty
communicants, that live in that place, exclusive of strangers;
that the people growing too numerous for the church, and
others offering to join them if they could be accommodated
with room, he proposed the building of a new church, and has
obtained near ^looo subscriptions for that purpose, though
it is supposed the building will cost twice that money; that

Fro)n i']2C) to 1730. The Rev. Mr. Usher, of Bristol, writes,
"That his congregation has so much increased that there is
scarce room in the church to hold them, and therefore he in-
tends to build a gallery soon, for their better accommodation."
In the same letter he gives a brief account of the progress he
hath made in his mission since his appointment, in these
words : " Since my first settlement in Bristol to this time, which
is just seven years, I have baptized one hundred and twenty-
one, twelve of which I baptized at Rehoboth and Barrington,
at which places I have preached several times; of the num-
ber twenty-two were adults, and three adult Indians. I have
had sundry negroes make application for baptism, that were
able to render a very good account of the hope that was in them,
and their pra6tices were generally agreeable to the principles
of the Christian religion. But I am not permitted to comply
with their request and my own duty, being forbid by their
masters, notwithstanding they have the Bishop of London's
letter, and the late Bishop of St. Asaph's sermon to that pur-
pose, to which I have added my own endeavours, both from
the pulpit and in private conversation, to persuade them to
comply therewith."
The Rev. Mr. Honyman, at Rhode Island, and Mr. Mac-
Sparran, at Narragansett, have each of them wrote to the So-
ciety that their congregations were in a flourishing condition.

1 73 1. The Rev. Mr. MacSparran, missionary at Narragan-
sett, writes, that he proceeds with good success on the labours
in the duties of his mission ; that besides children, he hath
lately baptized one adult and a negro; that it is his common
pra6iice to expound the Church Catechism to children one
Sunday in each month, in the hearing of the congregation, to
the great improvement of the elder people, as well as of the
children.
Appendices 69
The Rev. Mr. Honyman, missionary at Newport, writes,
that the church under his care is in a growing state; that in
less time than the last two years he had baptized eighty-four,
sixteen of whom were adults. He also constantly observes his
stated le61:ures at Tiverton, where he hath often a consider-
able audience, and assures he will exert himself to the utmost
in the discharge of every branch of his duty.
Salaries the same.
1732. The Rev. Mr. Honyman, an ancient missionary at
Newport, in a letter dated September 20, 1732, acquaints
thus: "I take the pleasure of telling you this known truth,
that betwixt New York and Boston, a distance of three hun-
dred miles, and wherein are many missions, there is not a
congregation in the way of the Church of England that can
pretend to compare with mine, or equal it in any respeft; nor
does my church consist of members that were of it when I
came here, for I have buried them all; nor is there any one
person now alive that did then belong to our Church, so that
our present appearance is entirely owing to God's blessing
upon my endeavours."
1733. The Rev. Mr. Arthur Browne, missionary at Provi-
dence, in his letter dated September 29, 1733, acquaints;
"That upon his first coming to the mission of Providence,
he found the number of persons attending divine service was
small, and the communicants only twenty-seven ; but that
now there is a great alteration, for the communicants amount
to forty-six, and his congregation is seldom less than a hun-
dred in number; and he hath baptized fourteen adults and fifty-
four infants."
1734. The Rev. Mr. Honyman, missionary at Newport, in
his letter dated November 27, 1734, acquaints the Society,
that his church continues in a flourishing condition, so that
there is none in those parts to be compared to it. Last sum-
mer, he went to preach at Tiverton in excessive hot weather,
which occasioned him a violent and dangerous fit of sickness;
but notwithstanding that, as long as he was able, he performed
his duty in the church, so that his people were not without
public worship during the whole sickness, except one Sun-
day, and that, through God's blessing, he is perfectly recov-
70 Appendices
ered. He says, Barclay's Apology for the fakers hath been
lately reprinted there, and he therefore thinks a number of
Keith's Answer to that book might be distributed with great
advantage among the people of those parts, and he could also
dispose, to very good purpose, among many whose wants re-
quire them, a number of Bibles^ Common Prayer Books^ Bishop
Beveridge's Thoughts on Religion^ Whole Duty of Man^ and
other tra£ts.
The Society last year appointed the Rev. Mr. Punderson
to be Itinerant Missionary in New England.
1 735. The Rev. Mr. Honyman, missionary at Newport, writes
an account, that the Church increases in those parts ; that his
own labours are attended with success ; that since his last let-
ters he hath baptized ninety, whereof seven are adults, one
an Indian, and three negroes.
From 1736 to 1737. No report. Salaries the same.
From 1738 to 1739. The Rev. Mr. Honyman, of Newport,
senior missionary of the Society, acquaints them by letter, dated
July 6, 1 737, that he had been very much weakened by a long
indisposition, but he had not omitted his duty in preaching
twice every Sunday; in observing evevy festival ; in reading
prayers and catechising twice a week in Lent; and he may
affirm with great truth, that his congregation is the largest
and most flourishing of any in those parts. And by a letter
dated the 8th of November, 1 737, he writes that he had bap-
tized ninety persons that year, of whom fifteen were of riper
years, two negroes, and two Indians; that he found his work
growing on his hands as he grew in years, but he would go on
with the divine assistance, to promote, to the utmost of his
endeavours, the interest of religion, according to the designs
and expectations of the Venerable Society.
The Rev. Mr. MacSparran, minister at Narragansett and
Warwick, writes, September 21, 1738, that he had baptized
twenty-eight persons, of whom ten were adults, the last half
year, and one of them, the lady of Mr. Abraham Francis,^^
a person of some consideration at Warwick, and he since hath
received her to the Communion.
The Rev. Mr. Usher, at Bristol, writes, September 22,
1738, that in obedience to the orders of the Venerable So-
Appendices 71
ciety, he sends a true and faithful account of the spiritual state
of his parish. There are in it one hundred and fifty families,
reckoning about four to a family, and fifty of these families
are of his congregation, and he hath fifty communicants; and
he hath baptized one person of full age, besides several chil-
dren the last half year. The other hundred families consists
of dissenters of various names.
George Taylor,^+of Providence, writes, 06lober 1 8, 1 737,
that he teaches twenty-three white and two black children,
and catechises them on Wednesdays and Saturdays, explains
to them the principles of religion, which they have learned by
heart; this, with Mr. Taylor's good life and conversation,
comes attested by Dr. MacSparran.

The Rev. Mr. Honyman, of Rhode Island, senior mission-
ary of the Society, acquaints them by a letter dated the 27th
of September, 1738, "that it had pleased God to visit him
with a chronical distemper, which had for several months dis-
abled him from public service, but he had taken all due care
to have his church regularly supplied by the Rev. Richard
Watts, late the Society's school-master at Annapolis Royal,
and now settled in his neighbourhood at Bristol. But the
charge of this, and his long illness, had laid so heavy upon him,
that he was obliged to become a petitioner to the Society for
their kind assistance, which he humbly hoped would not be
denied to him who hath been more than thirty years in their
service at Rhode Island, and made it his constant endeavour
to behave himself worthily, and not without some success, his
church being the largest in those parts, and yet not sufficient
to contain his congregation." The Society, out of regard to
Mr. Honyman's long and faithful services and his pressing
circumstances, hath given him a gratuity of ;i^20, for which,
by a letter of 7th of August, 1739, Mr. Honyman returned
his most hearty thanks, and wrote, that he had been for some
months back in his desk and pulpit again, and since his illness
had baptized fifty persons, four of whom were adults, and two
72 Appendices
of them negroes; and he concludes, that he is determined to
spend the remainder of his days in the service of that church,
and will endeavour, through the divine assistance, to deserve
the favours of the Venerable Society.
The members of the Church of England in the town of
Providence, by a memorial dated the 4th of May, 1739, re-
turn their most unfeigned thanks to the Venerable Society for
reviving the mission among them, by the appointment of the
Rev. Mr. Checkley, to officiate to them, than whom, no man,
they say, was more desired, and they do not doubt but that
he will answer the expectation of all good men concerning
him. And Mr. Checkley, by a letter dated November 1,1739,
acquaints the Society, that his congregation received him with
joy, and that, as the most steady application to his duty is re-
quired, he can with truth affirm, that he hath not been ab-
sent one Sunday since his arrival, and hath baptized thirteen
persons, one of them a woman sick in bed, and is preparing
some Indians and negroes for that sacrament; but, at the de-
sire of the Rev. Mr. Commissary Price, he hath sometimes
performed divine service and preached on a Wednesday at
Taunton, twenty miles distant from Providence, where the
congregation consists of more than three hundred persons,
many of whom were never before in any Christian church;
and he requests a large Co?nmon Prayer Book for the church
of Providence, and some small ones for the use of the poor.
The Society hath sent him a folio Common Prayer Book for
the church, and two dozen small ones for the use of the poor
at Providence. Mr. Checkley likewise certifies to the good
behaviour of Mr. Taylor, the Society's school-master at Pro-
vidence, and that the number of scholars is twenty-nine.

The Rev. Mr. Honyman, of Rhode Island, the senior mis-
sionary of the Society, writes, by a letter dated March 10,
1739, that he had nothing extraordinary with which to ac-
quaint the Society, and therefore he must repeat, what he
Appendices 73
hopes he shall be in a capacity of repeating as long as he lives,
that his church is in a very flourishing condition.
The Rev. Dr. MacSparran, missionary at Narragansett and
Warvi^ick, acquaints the Society, by a letter dated Oilober the
1st, 1 740, that he continues to discharge his parochial duties
at both his churches with diligence and fidelity, well know-
ing that he is to give an account of his ministry, not only to
the Board of the Society, but also to a much higher tribunal.
He blesses God that he hath reason to think that he doth not
labour in vain, but that both the knowledge and practice of
Christianity increase and gain ground in his parish; he had
received lately six new communicants, and baptized three
well-instru6led serious adults, of whom two he had already
admitted to the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, and should
soon admit the third, through God's blessing.
The Rev. Mr. Usher, missionary at Bristol, writes, by a
letter dated July 13, 1740, that he hath lately baptized two
adults, after full instru61:ion, the one a white, and the other
a black; and that he hath one remarkable convert from drunk-
enness whom God hath been pleased to pluck like a brand
out of the fire, when, through that filthy vice, he was fallen
into it: and upon this accident he had taken some pains with
him, who, thus awakened to a sense of his sins, hath been for
two years an example of sobriety and virtue. The number of
Mr. Usher's communicants is forty-eight, and he is now pre-
paring three white adults and one black for the holy sacra-
ment of Baptism.
The Rev. Mr. Checkley, missionary at Providence, in New
England, by a letter dated November 6, 1 740, complains of
his being hardly beset by several Romish missionaries, and par-
ticularly by one in the shape of a Baptist teacher, but that he
was at last gone away, and notwithstanding all their pains his
congregation increased. He hath been visited by some of his
old Indian acquaintances from distant places, and they have
promised to send their children to him for instruction; and he
hath himself visited the neighbouring Indians and performed
divine service, and baptized three children, at the distance of
fifty miles from Providence, without having been absent one
Sunday from his church. He hath baptized within the year
twenty-six persons, one a mulatto, and two negro boys, and
74 Appendices
four white adults, two of them a man and his wife, whose be-
haviour at the font much moved and edified the congregation ;
and they received with great devotion the sacrament of the
Lord's Supper on the Sunday following, and have been con-
stant communicants from that time.

The Rev. Dr. MacSparran, missionary at Narragansett and
Warwick, acquaints the Society, by a letter dated May 4,
1 74 1, that he had baptized seventeen children and three adults,
bred in Quakerism, who, together with four other persons of
competent knowledge and of a good life, had increased the
number of his communicants to forty -eight persons; and that
he continues his usual visits to Warwick, and doth duty there
twice in a month, when health and weather permit, and some-
times in several distant corners of Narragansett. He thanks
God that religion gains ground both among white and black
people; and he intends to devote Sunday mornings early for
a catechetical Ie6lure to the negroes, as he doth the interval
between prayers and sermon, once a month, for catechising
the white children. And, by a second letter, dated Septem-
ber 22, 1 74 1, the Doftor writes, that he had baptized four
children and one Indian adult, and admitted two new mem-
bers to the Communion; and he had begun the catechetical
le£ture for the negroes, and spends one hour immediately pre-
ceding divine service, in catechising and instru6ling these
poor wretches, who, for the most part, are extremely igno-
rant; and whether from the novelty of the thing, or, as he
hopes, from a better motive, more than fifty slaves give their
attendance. He writes further, that in the middle of the arm
of the sea, which divides Rhode Island from the Narragan-
sett shore, lies an island called Conanicut, about eight or nine
miles long, and two wide, containing about four or five hun-
dred inhabitants, who had never had Christianity preached to
them in any other shape than Quakerism, until he preached
to them on the 4th of August and 9th of September last, upon
Appendices 75
express invitation from them ; and the appearance of doing
some good among them is so promising, that he is determined
to visit them once a month. The Society, well pleased with
the foregoing accounts, hath sent the Do6lor a folio Bible and
Common Prayer Book^ and some small trails proper to promote
true religion.

By letters from Rhode Island government, we are informed
likewise, that the church continues to flourish at Newport
under the care of the Rev, Mr. Honyman, and at Narragan-
sett,under the care of the Rev. Dr. MacSparran, where seventy
negroes and Indians attend on it in public, whom the Do6tor
frequently catechises and instructs for an hour before divine
service begins; and by him the people of Conanicut, men-
tioned in the abstra6l of last year, return their thanks to the
Society for a folio Bible and Common Prayer Book for the pub-
lic, and the pious trails sent them for their private use; and
purpose the building of a church for the more decent cele-
bration of divine worship.
From 1743 to 1744. The Rev. Mr. Honyman, of Newport,
by his letter of June 13,1 743, blesses God that his church is
in a very flourishing and improving condition ; there are in it a
very large proportion of white people and an hundred negroes,
who constantly attend the public worship of God. Mr. Hony-
man hath eighty regular communicants, and he hath baptized,
within the preceding two years, one hundred and fifteen per-
sons, of whom twenty were adults, and seven were negroes;
while seventy negroes and Indians, with a large congregation
of our own people, fill the neighbouring church of Narragan-
sett, under the care and administration of the Rev. Dr. Mac-
Sparran.

The Rev. Mr. Checkley, missionary at Providence, says,
that, notwithstanding all opposition, the Church increases and
is likely to increase; that he found a greater number of peo-
ple in the woods than he could have imagined, destitute of
all religion, and as living without God in the world; and he
had likewise visited the Indians upon Quinebaug River, and
was in hopes of doing some good among them.

The Rev. Mr. Honyman, the Society's missionary, and
the church wardens and vestry of the church of Newport in
Rhode Island, by their letter dated August 2, 1746, peti-
tioned the Society to send them over a proper person episco-
pally ordained, to take on him the office of a school-master
to teach grammar and the mathematics, pursuant to the will
of the late worthy Mr. Nathaniel Kay,^44 who bequeathed
an house and lands to the value of about £2$ sterling per
annum in trust to them for that purpose. And that the So-
ciety would be graciously pleased to appoint such person cate-
chist to their church, under the direction of Mr. Honyman,
Appendices 77
and to be assistant to him in the care of that very numerous
congregation. To this the Society, out of regard to the ad-
vanced years of Mr. Honyman (who hath been more than
forty years their faithful and diligent missionary there), have
consented; and they have given him diredtions to consult the
Rev. Dr. Johnson, of Stratford, and to choose out of the
young gentlemen educated at New Haven, whom, upon their
own request, Dr. Johnson hath recommended for employ-
ment to the Society, a fit person for these offices; and to send
him over to England for holy orders, of which, if he shall
be found worthy, the Society, after his ordination, will ap-
point him catechist and assistant to Mr. Honyman, in the care
of his very large and increasing congregation, not of whites
alone, but of blacks also ; no less than twelve of the latter sort
having been admitted members of it, by the holy sacrament
of Baptism, within twelve months.
The Rev. Mr. Usher, the Society's missionary at Bristol,
by his letter dated April 2, 1 746, writes : " That besides read-
ing and preaching twice every Sunday, and regularly admin-
istering the holy Sacraments, and observing all the feasts and
fasts of the Church in his own parish, he officiates also at
Taunton, Swanzey, and other places, as opportunity offers and
occasion requires; and that several who were dissenters had
become conformists : to which is added the pleasure of his hav-
ing about thirty negroes and Indians of his congregation, most
of whom join in the Church Service very devoutly, and three
of them are communicants."
1747. "The Rev. Mr. Honyman continues his usual dili-
gence in his mission at Newport, in Rhode Island, it ap-
pearing, by his letter of May 14, i 747, that he had baptized
eighty-three persons, eleven of whom were adults, and pro-
perly instru6ted, sixteen negroes, and two Indians."

The church of Newport, in Rhode Island, hath sustained
a very great loss by the death of their late worthy pastor, Mr.
James Honyman, who departed this life there on the 2nd of
July last, after a life well spent in promoting true religion
and virtue, to a very advanced age; he having been upwards
of forty years in the service of the Society, and by their sup-
port done great service to the cause of religion, of which the
church gathered at Newport by his pious labours is a very good,
and it is to be hoped, by their perseverance in the paths of
righteousness and truth, will prove a lasting monument.

The Rev. Mr. Beach, the Society's missionary at New-
town and Redding, in Connedlicut, having declined, through
want of health, to accept of the great care of the church at
Newport, in Rhode Island, which at the earnest request of
the inhabitants thereof, had been offered to him, the Society
hath appointed the Rev. Mr. Pollen, M.A., late curate of
St. Antholin's Church in London, but then curate of the Epis-
copal Church of Glasgow, to that mission, upon his own re-
quest; and it is hoped that he is by this time safely arrived,
and to good purpose employed in the duties of his holy func-
tion there.
The Rev. Mr. Usher, the Society's missionary at Bristol,
in New England, observes, in his letter of this year to the So-
ciety, that he hath been employed above thirty years in their
service, and continues to do his duty, though in an imperfect
state of health; and hath the pleasure to officiate to a full con-
gregation of sober, industrious persons, who perform the ser-
vice of the Church in as regular order as any church whatso-
ever, there being none among them but can read, except some
few negroes; and he thanks God he lives upon a good footing
with the dissenters, as well as with the members of his own
congregation. And he had lately received into the Church three
adults, bred among the Anabaptists, and was preparing four
more for the holy sacrament of Baptism, and that when
these four should be baptized, there would remain but part
of two families unbaptized in his whole congregation.

By a letter of thanks to the Society, from the church-war-
dens and vestry of the church of Newport, in Rhode Island,
bearing date the 28th of May, 1754, for the appointment of
the Rev. Mr. Pollen to that mission (as mentioned in the
abstract of the Society's proceedings in the year 1753), it ap-
pears that Mr. Pollen arrived safe there in the beginning of
that month, and was very acceptable to them; not only from
his general good chara6ter, but also from his good behaviour
and abilities in his pastoral duties, as far as they had yet ex-
perienced them; and they made no doubt but he would an-
swer the pious and charitable design of the Society in send-
ing him to them. And Mr. Pollen, by his letter of June the
7th, 1754, gives an account of his kind reception, and that
he hath great hopes of propagating the true Christian faith,
and doing much good among them, towards which he pro-
mises his best endeavours shall not be wanting. The church
of Providence, in Providence Plantation, having become va-
cant by the death of the Rev. Mr. Checkley, and the church-
wardens and vestry of that church having very earnestly pe-
titioned the Society to supply that loss by the appointment of
a new missionary, the Society hath thought it proper to appoint
the Rev. Mr. John Graves, Vicar of Clapham in Yorkshire,
in the Diocese of Chester, a most pious and worthy clergy-
man, brother to the Rev. Mr. Matthew Graves, the Soci-
ety's worthy missionary at New London, in the Colony of
Conne6ticut, and animated with the same holy zeal to propa-
gate the Gospel in foreign parts, to be their missionary to the
church of Providence; and it is to be hoped Mr. John Graves,
he having before his departure resigned the vicarage of Clap-
ham, is happily arrived at that mission.

The Rev. Mr. John Graves, the Society's missionary in
the church of Providence, appears to be most acceptable to
that congregation, which, by their letter of June 14, 1756,
humbly thanks the Society for their goodness in sending so
very worthy a person to administer to them, whose behaviour
makes him to be beloved by all, and their church is crowded;
and they humbly hope that God will make him instrumental
in stirring them heartily to their duty. And he labours much
therein, administering the Holy Communion, and preaching
both morning and afternoon, and catechising the children, not
only at Providence, but at Taunton also, where he monthly
officiates.

The Rev. Dr. MacSparran, the Society's missionary at Nar-
ragansett, died there on the ist of December, 1757, and by
his last will, dated May 23, 1753, he hath given a conven-
ient spot of ground for a church and burying place, on the
northwest corner of his land, to build a church upon, if need
should hereafter so require. He likewise, after his wife's de-
82 Appendices
cease, hath bequeathed his farm in that parish, as a conven-
ient dwelling-house, to such Bishop of the Church of England
and his successors, forever, as shall be regularly sent, and set
over that part of His Majesty's Plantations where the said farm
lies, with this proviso: that at least the three first bishops in
direct succession be born or educated in Great Britain or
Ireland; also, that the said bishop be sent at farthest within
seven years after his wife's decease (she died in England, of
the small-pox, in the year 1755). And to supply the loss of
Dr. MacSparran to his congregation, the Society hath ap-
pointed the Rev. Mr. Fayerweather, a native of New Eng-
land, of so very good a chara6ler, and so well recommended
when he came to England for holy orders in the year 1756,
that the University of Oxford was pleased to honour him with
the degree of Master of Arts, to succeed Dr. MacSparran as
their missionary to the Church of Narragansett.

The Rev. Mr. Pollen, late the Society's missionary to the
church of Newport, in Rhode Island, by a letter dated there
July the lOth, 1760, acquainted the Society, that he had re-
ceived an invitation to a parish in Jamaica, and he hoped the
Society would not take amiss his acceptance of it, as he should
always retain the utmost veneration for them; and, whether
in or out of their service, gladly embrace every opportunity
of promoting it; that he was pressed immediately to embark
for Jamaica, but he would stay and officiate in Newport till the
beginning of the winter. And the church of Newport entreat
the Society by a petition, dated September 23, 1760, to grant
them another missionary in the room of Mr. Pollen, then about
to leave them ; and they take the liberty to mention Mr.
Marmaduke Browne,7°s the Society's itinerant missionary in
Appendices 83
New Hampshire, as a clergyman of a very good character,
who had lately officiated to them to the great satisfaction of the
congregation, and they hoped to be quite happy under his pas-
toral care, would the Society be so good as to appoint him to
that mission. This the Society have granted, Mr. Marmaduke
Browne joining in the request, together with his father, the
Society's missionary at Portsmouth, in New Hampshire.

The Rev, Mr. Fayerweather, the Society's missionary at
Narragansett, by his letter dated December i, 1760, which
was laid before the Board April 17, 1761, acquaints the
Society that, after officiating a few Sundays in the parish
church of St. Paul in his new mission, he had the misfortune
of spraining his right ankle, which till that time had confined
him in great pain, but promises upon his recovery to be dili-
gent in the Society's service and obey their injunctions, and
to exert himself to the utmost of his strength and capacity,
to the honour of God and the propagation of the Gospel of
our Great Redeemer. By another letter, dated March 20,
1 761, we learn that he is so far restored as to go out again,
and promises to do his utmost to redeem the lost time. He
complains that Quakers, Baptists, Fanatics, Ranters, Deists,
and Infidels swarm in that part of the world. But in another
letter, dated August i, 1 761, he writes, that his own flock,
to his unspeakable comfort, increase in number, and, as he
judges by their fruits, grow in the grace and virtues of the
Christian life. He adds, that many good books are wanted in
the Narragansett country, for the suppressing of Deism, In-
fidelity, and Quakerism, which, if sent to his care and dis-
posal, he promises shall be distributed in a manner beneficial
to his own people, and to those who dissent from our Es-
tablishment. Which request the Society have complied with;
and besides Bibles., Common Prayer Books., and many pious
small traCts, have sent twelve copies of West on the Resur-
re£lion., and Littleton on the Conversion of Saint Paul., and
twelve of Leslie's Short and Easy Method with the Deists.

The Rev. Mr. John Graves, the Society's missionary at
Providence, in a letter dated May 5, 1761, vi^rites, that his
constant communicants are almost double, and his stated
hearers more than proportionally increased, with persons who
pradise as well as profess religion. As to his particular charge
he never leaves it, except when he visits his relations, spring
and fall, at New London. He has kept together, the three
last years, the little church of Warwick, ten miles from
Providence, and given them constant attendance, preaching,
administering the Lord's Supper; taking into the church both
infants and adults ; catechising, their children, visiting their
sick, and burying their dead. For this extraordinary attend-
ance on the church of Warwick, the Society have ordered
Mr. John Graves a gratuity.

The Rev. Mr. Fayerweather, the Society's missionary at
Narragansett, in his letter dated August 10, 1762, writes,
that he has his dwelling in the midst of persons who take too
many occasions of expressing great bitterness against the
Church of England. Thus situated, he finds it best to be mild
and gentle, peaceable and forbearing, which the Society
earnestly recommends to him and all their missionaries. In
consequence of this behaviour, Mr. Fayerweather says, sev-
eral have lately conformed to the Church from the Ana-
baptists and other persuasions. He has baptized five adults
and eight infants within the year. In this part of America he
finds immersion preferred, among persons in adult years, to
sprinkling, and whenever it is required, administers Baptism
that way, as the Church directs. When he first opened his
mission his congregation consisted of a very small num-
ber, but is since enlarged, and in the summer season appears
numerous. His communicants have increased from twelve to
twenty and upwards ; and with those from Warwick, where
he frequently officiates, and where there is a great appear-
ance of piety and seriousness, make upwards of thirty-five.
Appendices 85
The Society have received a petition from the church of
Warwick, dated June 17, 1762, praying that they may have
the benefit of Mr. Fayerweather's ministry, and that of Mr.
John Graves, of Providence, who has been exceeding kind to
them.
The Rev. Mr. John Graves, the Society's missionary at
Providence, in a letter dated July 13, 1762, writes, that he
should have seconded the church of Warwick's petition, but
that he would avoid everything that looks like covetousness
in things sacred; however, he thinks it his duty to observe
that, till that people enjoy the blessing of a resident minister,
they cannot hope to reap the same advantages by being an-
nexed to any other mission as to that of Providence. They
lie within ten miles of Providence, and twenty from the near-
est other Episcopal minister, and therefore often partake of
the Word and Sacraments of this Church, from whence arises
a spiritual friendship and union between them. But, if the
Society can more effe6lually provide for the spiritual welfare
ofthat people, he is far from desiring the additional and aweful
charge.
The Society, taking the case of the church of Warwick
into their consideration, have agreed to desire Mr. John
Graves to officiate at the church of Warwick once a month
on Sundays, and as often as he can conveniently on week days,
and to make an addition of ^^^15 to his salary for his services
at Warwick.

The Rev. Mr. Marmaduke Browne, the Society's mission-
ary at Newport, in the Colony of Rhode Island, in his letter
dated January 9, 1 763, with pleasure informs the Society, that
his mission is in so flourishing a way, that several gentlemen
have come to a resolution to enlarge the church very con-
siderably, at the expense of at least ;^500 sterling. He adds,
that at the instance of the associates of the late Dr. Bray, and
with the hearty concurrence of the Society, he has opened a
school for the instrudlion of negro children, to consist of fif-
86 Appendices
teen of each sex, which is to be under his inspection, and which
he trusts will answer the intentions of the charitable persons
concerned in it. In the preceding half year he had baptized
one black and fourteen white children, one white and one
black adult, and had an addition of five communicants, mak-
ing, in the whole, one hundred and nine.
The Rev. Mr. Fayerweather, the Society's missionary at
Narragansett,in the Colony of Rhode Island, in his letter dated
March lo, 1763, writes that his parish church is well filled
in the warm and moderate seasons of the year, but in the win-
ter his congregations are small on account of the extreme
cold. To remedy this inconvenience, he has been urged, in
imitation of his predecessor, to officiate in his own house in
the severe weather; but has refused to comply till he has ob-
tained the Society's leave. In answer to which, he was desired,
if possible, to make his church warm and comfortable in the
severest weather; but, if that cannot be done, and his house
is large enough for the reception of all who are willing to at-
tend, the poor as well as those of better rank, he may have
leave to perform divine service in his own house when it is
absolutely necessary, and not otherwise.
The Rev. Mr. John Graves, the Society's missionary at
Providence, in the Colony of Rhode Island, in his letter dated
March 19, 1763, returns thanks for a gratuity given him for
his former services at Warwick. And the Society having since
committed the church of Warwick to his care, that people,
in a letter dated July 16, 1763, express their grateful sense
of the happy provision made for their spiritual welfare, by ap-
pointing Mr. Graves to that office, of whose faithful labours
they have had so much experience. And Mr. Graves, in his
letter dated June 4, 1763, declares his intention, God will-
ing, to visit the church of Warwick at least six times a year
on Sundays, which is the most he can do, without neglecSling
his own proper mission; the rest of his visits he purposed to
make on week days, statedly and occasionally; and in the
whole, pay them double the visits they were used to have from
his predecessor in that charge. In the half year preceding his
first letter, he had baptized nineteen infants, one white and
two black adults. Of the adults the two survivors are in full
communion, and walk agreeably to their holy profession. The
Appendices 87
populous and growing town of Providence consists of Pres-
byterians, Baptists, New Lights, and Quakers, besides the
members of the Church of England, with all of whom he lives
in peace and charity; and there are none of them but will,
and often do, occasionally come to hear him.

The Rev. Marmaduke Browne, the Society's missionary
at Newport, in the Colony of Rhode Island, in his letter dated
February 29, 1764, writes that, notwithstanding the great
enlargement of Trinity Church, there is still room wanting to
accommodate all who would willingly attend. In this colony,
he observes, a good harmony subsists between Churchmen
and dissenters. The Quakers in particular express their re-
gard for the Church, from the experience they have had of
the mildness and lenity of its administration. And his parish-
ioners are constant and decent in their attendance on public
worship, and unblamable in their lives. In his letter dated
September 19, Mr. Browne gives a particular account of
the rents of the lands and houses left by Mr. Kay, for the
use of a grammar-master at Newport, which, from 'the ist
of April, 1765, will amount to the sum of ^64 5^. sterling,
from which, deducting ;i^io to keep the house in repair, the
estate will produce near £^^ sterling per annum, besides a
small house for the school-master to reside in, which will rent
for ;^8 sterling per annum. The Society are desired to recom-
mend a grammar-master for this school, as soon as a proper
person can be procured. Mr. Browne has baptized, in the pre-
ceding year, forty-five infants, two white and one black adult,
and has from one hundred and twelve to one hundred and
twenty communicants.
The Rev. Mr. Usher, the Society's missionary at Bristol,
in the Colony of Rhode Island, in his letter dated November
21, 1763, encloses his Notitia Parochialis., by which it ap-
pears that there are in Bristol about one hundred and fifty
families, fifty of which are oi the Church of England, and one
hundred dissenters, none of them Baptists. In the preceding
88 Appendices
year he had baptized twelve infants, and had forty-three com-
municants ; besides the above, he has thirty heads of families in
the neighbouring towns, fifteen of whom are communicants.
They have been already favoured with a deed of gift of a
piece of land for a church and church-yard, in a small flour-
ishing town about five miles from Bristol Church; and have
likewise, with the assistance of some dissenters, subscribed
about ;^5000, this poor currency, towards building a chapel of
ease, hoping to obtain leave for some neighbouring mission-
ary to officiate among them once a month, that the aged and
children may attend. Mr. Usher has occasionally officiated in
these towns to large societies, fn private houses, for want of
a church.

able to struggle with, and has the comfort to observe, that
much good is done here, notwithstanding the many disad-
vantages they labour under in this colony. Within the year he
baptized forty-three infants, two white and one black adult,
and has one hundred and twenty communicants, seven of
whom are blacks, who behave in a manner truly exemplary
and praiseworthy.

By a letter received from the Rev. Mr. John Graves, mis-
sionary at Providence, Rhode Island, New England, of Sep-
tember 25, 1770, the Society are informed that in the last
half year he had baptized nine infants and one adult, buried
five, and married three couples. That he goes on as usual,
both at Providence and Warwick, where he had preached
twenty times, besides occasional duties, within the year. That
his particular friend, Mr. Merritt, is lately deceased, and
much lamented, having always supported a very amiable and
exemplary chara6ler. He was a firm friend to religion and
virtue. Among other valuable legacies, he has bequeathed
^100 to the Society, and the same sum to the church at Pro-
vidence.

Advice has been received of the death of the Rev. Mr. Mar-
maduke Browne, the Society's worthy missionary at Newport,
in Rhode Island. The people have chosen Mr. Bisset,704 who
used to assist the missionary, and kept the school founded by
Mr. Kay. But the flourishing state and opulent circumstances
of that parish having been fully represented, the Society do
not think it consistent with their trust to give any longer a
salary from hence, as it would prevent their bounty where it
is more wanted, to other churches, which cannot be supported
without their assistance.
1773. The same Missionaries and salaries.
The Rev. Mr. John Graves, missionary at Providence,
Rhode Island, hath baptized five children, buried three adults,
and hath forty communicants.
1774. The same Missionaries and salaries.
The Society have received letters from each of their mis-
sionaries in Rhode Island. The Rev, Mr. Fayerweather
writes that the church of St. Paul's, in North Kingstown,
90 Appendices
is repairing. The Rev. Mr. Usher, though a cripple, con-
stantly preaches every Sunday, in the summer season, to a
congregation that declines indeed from constant emigration ;
though such as are within distance still continue their attend-
ance. And the Rev. Mr. Graves within the year ending at
Michaelmas, 1773, hath baptized thirteen infants and two
adults, married four couples, and buried two adults. His
communicants at Providence are about fifty, and at War-
wick ten ; and he hath the great comfort of living in much
peace and love with all his people in both places.
Mr. Taylor, the Society's -school-master at Providence,
teaches fourteen children, including one negro, on their ac-
count; is constant in his attendance, as having no other em-
ployment.
1775. The same Missionaries and salaries.
The Rev. Mr. John Graves, missionary at Providence,
Rhode Island, administers the Sacrament on the first Sunday
of each month throughout the year. On every Sunday dur-
ing the summer he catechiseth the children, and in a sermon
explains some part of the Church Catechism, and hath con-
tinued this pra6lice for eighteen years. In the last half year
ended at Lady-Day, 1774, he baptized six children, married
six couple, and buried five adults. He has about fifty com-
municants as before at Providence, and fifteen at Warwick ;
at which place he hath in the year preached twenty times,
and four times administered the Holy Communion.

By a letter from the Society's late missionary, Mr. Usher,
dated 06lober, 1774, it appears that in the preceding half
year he had baptized seven infants, administered the Sacra-
ment to thirty communicants, and, though aged, lame, and
infirm, had performed the usual service twice on every Sun-
day without any assistance. Since that time the Society have
lost that venerable and worthy missionary, after a period of
fifty years diligently employed in their service. Two letters
have been received from the Rev. Mr. John Graves, from
which it appears that in the last year ending in March, 1775,
Appendices 91
he hath baptized thirty infants, married six couples, and
buried seven corpses. At Warwicic he hath fifteen communi-
cants ; hath preached there seventeen times.
Mr. Taylor, the Society's school-master at Providence,
writes that notwithstanding his advanced age he gives con-
stant attendance to his school ; and that, in the preceding
severe winter, he supplied ten poor children with firewood,
and taught them gratis; and in the spring and summer follow-
ing, taught eleven poor children on the Society's account, be-
sides two poor boys that were not entitled to that charity,

The Society have received one letter from Mr. John
Graves, missionary at Providence, Rhode Island, dated No-
vember 19, 1776, who continueth to baptize, visit the sick,
bury the dead, and attend his people at their houses, although
his two churches are shut up. Since September, 1 775, he hath
baptized twenty-two infants and three adults, married six
couples, and buried twenty-one corpses.
Mr. Taylor, the school-master, continueth to teach eleven
children on the Society's account, instructing them in the
Church Catechism, and endeavouring to imprint on their ten-
der minds a sense of the amiableness and rewards of virtue,
and the odiousness and bitter fruit, sooner or later, of vice in
general, and enlarging on such as children are naturally most
addicted to.

In the general it is to be colIe6led from the missionaries'
letters (from New England) that the times were grown more
mild, and happier prospe6ls seemed to be breaking forth; the
Church people being suffered to live more quietly ; the churches
again opened, and divine service performed wherever there
are clergymen to officiate; and the clergy themselves increas-
ing in esteem for their steady conduit in diligently attending
to the duties of their calling, and preaching the Gospel un-
mixed with the politics of the jday.
The Rev. Mr. Graves, missionary at Providence, has given
an account of himself, which seems to be an exception to the
foregoing observations; for he has acquainted the Society, that
though most of the churches which five years ago were shut
up had lately been opened, he could not be prevailed upon,
either by threats or promises, to open his church in the pre-
sent situation of affairs. That he had therefore quitted his par-
sonage-house, and the people had formally dismissed him.

Gentlemen :
I AM directed by the Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel in Foreign Parts to inform you that in the last
year they came to a Resolution of sending a Missionary and
for that purpose had rec'' a Gentleman who was very well
recommended to them as a proper person to be sent thither,
ithappenedtobeatthe latterendoftheyearandhe desired to be
excused proceeding on his Mission that season w"^ his fam-
ily but gave the Society hope of going in the spring which
they depended on, but it hath so fallen out with him as to his
Private affairs here in England that he cannot without much
Prejudice undertake the voyage. This he Expresses with great
deal of concern and this is the Reason why the Society did
not send a Missionary among you then, and why they have
not now is because at present there is not any Person quali-
fied who offers himself. However that you may perceive the
tender Regard and care the Society have of you They have
(until a Missionary can be sent w'^'' will be so soon as con-
veniently may be) increased the Salary ofthe Rev'^ M"^ Hony-
man for His Support and Encouragement in visiting and
supplying Naraganset and some other Places. This Present
Bounty and Care ofthe Society I hope you will receive kindly
and improve to your Spiritual welfare, I am

A Letter from Samuel Chace to General George
Washington: copied November 13, Anno 1840, by
"John Barnet Chace, Grandson of Sam' Chace.
Providence, April zd, 1792
Gen. Geo. Washington:
MOST DEAR AND RESPECTABLE SiRE, Pray permit the
address of your Servant, who wishes every happiness
to your Excellency.
I, Samuel Chace, father-in-law to Major William Blodget,
son of John Chace, Esq^, a gentleman, a native of Barbadoes,
who married honourably in Newport, anno 171 3, and was
Magistrate there, much reputed many years, a Church war-
den with Godfrey Malbone, Esq% the Elder. They together,
with greatest zeal and exertion, had built that noble edifice,
the Episcopal Church in that Town.
Being left at my Hon"* Father's death, anno 1738, I was
kindly taken care of by my Hon*^ Uncle, Daniel Updike,
Esq*", King's attorney or attorney-general for the then Col-
ony, till anno 1742. Then, being twenty years old, he kindly
assisted me to credit in a good store of Goods, in which, be-
ing attentive, I soon paid for them and went into navigation
with Governor Hopkins, Judge Jenckes and other respe6ta-
ble chara6lers here. Was concerned in upwards of twenty
sail of vessels, but in the French and Span, war, by various
ways and means, lost my property.
When prosperous, I entertained gratis all gentleman tra-
vellers, passing thro' Providence. In anno 1734 I went to
Philadelphia, on a party of pleasure, and was, by good letters
to Mr. Franklin an invited guest at his house to dine with
other gentlemen and I was his deputy-postmaster near ten
years and had the honour of his company to dine at my house.
I have been honoured, in New York, in acquaintance with
many fine characElers there and, in Boston, with Governor
Shirley, Pownall and Hutchinson and with them dined by
invitation; as, also, with very many first merchants there,
98 Appendices
when I was in good credit and trade, for upwards of thirty
years, and have dined at sixteen different gentlemen's tables
in sixteen days there. Also, at Portsmouth, dined with the
elder Governor Wentworth, afterwards, for a week, with the
principal gentlemen of that Town. Sed tempora mutantur^ nos
mutamus in illis. In anno 1774, 1 was obliged to open house
for Boarding and had the pleasure of seeing, at that time, your
Excellency, General of our armies, at our house, by invita-
tion. Mr. Blodget and I then lodged all your life guard with
pleasure, gratis.
When General Sullivan commanded here and we were a
garrison Town, the Marquis Payette, visited him and us,
often, upon business of importance and we had, as visitors
and many of them lodgers. Gen' Lee, Gates, Gen' Steuben,
Lincoln, Howe, Bailey and Spencer, with Brigadiers Hunt-
ingdon, Douglas, Glover, the Due de Lauzun, Starke, Var-
num and Cornell. I was honoured in my early days in our
Episcopal Church here, Made a warden Anno 1743 and so,
many times after, and ever since as one of the Vestry and
as a Psalmodist to this day in which I serve gratis.
Mr. Blodgett served on our organ for some years. My son.
Dr. John Chace, succeeded him and served gratis, near
twenty years. He is very lately deceased, to my discomfort.
When he married, about thirteen years since, I had, with
him and wife, then attending the ceremony Twelve children,
reckoning my own and sons and daughters-in-law, all men
and women in full health and rejoicing in the occasion. It has
pleased God to take them all away, since, save one only
daughter, one daughter-in-law, with Blodgett and Malcolm,
two sons-in-law.
I have served this colony and State, as a Justice of the
Peace, from anno 1 754, to this year 1 792 and held positions
under nine different governors.
Being the oldest, I've served as coroner twenty three years
and as a Notary Public for twenty years past. My house,
which has covered us near fifty years, having suffered in trade,
I was obliged to mortgage and that is now called for. So must
I be deprived not only of a covering but, being no longer a
freeholder, must, of course, lose the little offices also. Alas!
who is sufficient for such trials, without the immediate in-
Appendices 99
terposition of God's great and peculiar mercy and Grace? May
I not with the great Chaldean Job, cry out, "Pity me, O my
Friends, for the heavy hand of affliction, by God's permission,
is upon me." My children, as many as his, and my property
all gone. What can I do without some friendly assistance, at
seventy years of age ? O the ways of God are unsearchable
and past finding out. I see no way to keep up my spirits, my
dignity, my powerofdoinggood, of which I have been formerly
possessed. Could I be so happy as to meet your Excellency's
pity and compassion under these my distressed circumstances,
how happy should I be. O ! I beg your blessing, as Esau of
old begged of his Father Jacob, saying, " Hast thou not re-
served a blessing for me ? Bless me, even me also, O my Father."
With prayers for God's blessing upon your most impor-
tant person,
Respe£lfully, your humble, faithful Serv',

Mrs. Anstis Lees Narrative of a Horseback four-
ney to ConneSlicut, in 1791. Written about 1845,
when Mrs. Lee was in her eightieth year.
ON one of the first days of May, 1791, in pursuance of
previous arrangement, my oldest brother, Daniel Up-
dike (who lately died at East Greenwich, in June 1842, at
the advanced age of 81 years) and myself started on a visit
to Connedlicut.
We left our father's house, the residence of the late Lo-
dowick Updike, near Wickford, on horseback, on Monday
morning. — Carriages were, at that time, rarely used, as the
roads were so bad, that it was impra6ticable to ride on them
with comfort or safety. I was mounted on a fine Narra-
gansett pacer of easy carriage and of great fleetness. She was
the last of the pure blood and genuine gait, that I have seen.
We arrived at Plainfield village late in the afternoon and
lodged at Judge Robert Lightfoot's that night. The Judge
had been a resident of Newport for many years before his re-
moval to Plainfield. He was an intimate friend of my father
and had visited our mansion in the days of my grandfather,
Daniel Updike, for twenty seven years the Colony Attorney-
General of Rhode Island. Judge Lightfoot was an English-
man, educated at Oxford, studied law at the Inner Temple
and was, subsequently, appointed a Judge of Vice-Admiralty
in one of the Southern colonies. His life is given in the
Memoirs of the Rhode Island Bar. We spent a very social and
pleasant night with our friend, who seemed equally well-
pleased and delighted with a visit from his Rhode Island ac-
quaintances. On Tuesday, after breakfast, we cordially shook
hands with our friend and, with his benedi6lion, left for
Hartford. We passed through Canterbury and Windham and
lodged that night at a public house in Bolton, kept by one
Mr. White, twelve miles short of Hartford. We rose early,
on Wednesday, arrived at Hartford, put up at Bull's Tavern
(sign of the Bunch of Gilded Grapes') and took breakfast on
102 Appendices
bloated salmon. I particularly recolle6t about the salmon, as It
was the fashion, in old times, for parties of gentlemen of
Rhode Island to make a special visit to Hartford, almost
yearly, to luxuriate on this rare and delicate fish, which, at
that period, were caught there in great abundance, and rarely
in any of the Narragansett rivers. While we were at break-
fast, Mr. Ralph Pomeroy came to take us to his house, on a
street leading from the main street, somewhere near where the
Episcopal Church then stood. Mr. Pomeroy married the
widow of William Gardiner, who was killed in the explosion
of the Powder House, at Hartford, on celebrating the repeal
of the Stamp A£t. William Gardiner was brother to my
mother and married Miss Eunice Belden, having by her one
son named James, who died at Hartford some twenty or
thirty years ago. William had kept an apothecary and gro-
cery store at that town. He was brought up by his uncle. Dr.
Sylvester Gardiner, of Boston, and established in business by
his father, the late John Gardiner, a brother of the Do6tor,
but had not kept store long before the explosion. Mr. Pome-
roy had been a commissary in the Revolutionary War, was
a good person of a man and practised law, at Hartford, with
repute, as I understood. He had been frequently at my fa-
ther's, in Rhode Island, previously to this visit of ours. Mr.
Pomeroy had four children by this marriage, Samuel, Ralph,
Eunice and Elizabeth.
This being the day before the General Eleftion, the depu-
ties and Presbyterian ministers began to arrive. By afternoon
the city seemed to be full, when the Governor, Mr. Wolcott,
was expe6ted to arrive. To witness his entrance and the ac-
companying parade, Mr. Pomeroy took us to the house of
General Wyllys, which stood opposite, or nearly so, to the
State House. General Wyllys was the son of old Colonel
Wyllys. He appeared to be a fine gentleman, aged about
forty. His wife was Elizabeth Belden and sister of Mrs.
Pomeroy, that being the reason we were carried there to wit-
ness the ceremonies preparatory to the ele6lion. We were
introduced to General Wyllys and family and pressed to take
tea with them and did the same afternoon. Tea was served
from a waiter and carried round by a servant.
A troop of horse and a great number of citizens on horse-
Appendices 103
back constituted the cavalcade, to escort his Excellency into
the city. The company of horse made an imposing appear-
ance. The riders were dressed in caps, with a brass plate and
feathers on them, short, tight jackets or coats, short [small ?]
clothes and high gaiters. I think the colour was deep blue,
faced with red. The horses were very fine and Mr. Pomeroy
said they were of two hundred dollars value, each, which was
a great price at that time.
After tea, say an hour before sunset, it was announced
that the Governor and procession were entering the city. We
thronged the windows to view it. The Governor came in, at
the head of the military, on a single horse, dressed in a full
suit of black, and then followed the cavalry and the citizens,
on horseback, two and two abreast. When he arrived in front
of the State House, he alighted, ascended and stood on the
spacious front step. The military passed and saluted the Gov-
ernor by a discharge of their pistols over his head. After the
salute, Governor Wolcott walked to a public house near,
unaccompanied by any one, the cavalcade having disappeared.
Mr. Pomeroy remarked, "that is the emblem of popularity, —
one hour surrounded by everybody and at the next left to
walk on foot." The Governor appeared to be fifty years old
and walked as if he had been troubled with the gout.
After the parade, we returned to Mr. Pomeroy's and the
next day was the eleftion. The General Assembly organized
and then, preceded by the Military, proceeded to the Meet-
ing-house, to hear a sermon. The procession was the longest
I had ever seen. The Governor was preceded by the Sheriff,
with a sword. Then followed the senate, members of the
Legislature and, I should think, two hundred ministers, two
and two, except President Stiles, who walked alone, at the
head of the clergy, dressed in a full, black gown, cocked
hat and full-bottomed white wig. He was rather a sharp-faced
man, spare and of common height. We were advised not to
attend the church, on account of the crowd. The Legislature
convened again after service and refreshments, carried into
the State House on trays, were furnished, as I was informed,
at State expense.
Friday afternoon, the day after election, we spent, upon in-
vitation, with Colonel Wyllys, who lived at the Charter Oak
104 Appendices
place, an ancient looking mansion, that stood in a square by
itself. From it was a splendid view, overlooking the Connec-
ticut River and the city. The great oak was right before it. We
were shewn the gardens and the grounds, which were beau-
tiful and tastefully arranged with many flowers in full bloom.
Colonel Wyllys was uncle to Mrs. Pomeroy. He was an old
man, I should think over seventy, thin and spare, with red
baize bound around his legs, probably on account of gout.
He was a widower, and his son's wife, a portly woman, prob-
ably about thirty years old, kept his house. She had two little
children, say, one seven and the other five years old. Whether
her husband was living or not, I don't know. Mrs. Strong,
the Colonel's daughter, was also with him, having no chil-
dren. . . . President StilesandColonellngersoU, the Attorney-
General of Conne6licut, and several other gentlemen took
tea at Colonel Wyllys's. President Stiles and my brother
conversed nearly an hour, very intimately together, respect-
ing Rhode Island. The President had been settled over a
Congregational Church, in Newport, many years, and was
much in Narragansett, at the house of Colonel Francis Wil-
let, uncle to my mother. I remember seeing Dr. Stiles once
at St. Paul's Church, Narragansett, when Dr. Smith, after-
wards President of Cheshire Academy, was re£lor. My father
was introduced to him after service.
After tea we all went out to see the Charter Oak and stood
under it. Colonel Wyllys, however, being too infirm to ac-
company us. I felt anxious to stand under the celebrated old
tree, where the old Colony Charter was hidden by the an-
cestor of the present occupant. President Stiles, as we stood
around him, gave us a minute and detailed account of all the
circumstances of its seizure and concealment. His manner
was eloquent and the narrative, precise and particular, made
a deep impression on me. It is fresh in my recolleClion now,
although a half century has passed away, since I heard him.
I well recolleit his sharp face and spare person and his pre-
cision of manner.
The mansion of Colonel Wyllys I admired and the man-
ners of the Colonel's family combined urbanity with dignity.
The tea was served from trays, in a large room, — a room
much larger than was common at that age. The service was
Appendices 105
more splendid than I had before seen. It stood under [?] the
mahogany table, — it was the fashion, then. A silver tea-kettle
stood on a silver chafing-dish. Coal might be placed in the
chafing-dish and that kept the water hot. A large tea-urn of
silver and a silver waiter stood on the table, with a silver tea-
pot, sugar dish and milk pot, surrounded by an elegant set of
china service. I had never seen so much silver service and
it was regarded as an evidence of ancient wealth and family.
About dusk, Mr. Pomeroy and his wife and my brother and
myself came away. Mr. Pomeroy said that Colonel Wyllys
was not as rich as he had been. I don't recolle6l anything of
the Wadsworths.
On Saturday morning, after breakfast, we left Hartford for
New Haven. We passed through Weathersfield and saw the
large meeting-house there, that was said to have been built
from the sale of onions. It had two galleries, one above the
other. I had never seen such fields of onions, — as large as corn-
fields. Men, boys and girls were labouring in them. We missed
our road to Middletown, but, before regaining it, saw large
quantities of mulberry trees. We stopped at a house, upon in-
vitation, to see some domestic silk, being, also, shewn a silk
dress by the occupant's daughter. . . . We dined at Middle-
town, where the main street was very long, without any rear
streets.
At about five o'clock, we arrived at New Haven, after a
ride of about forty miles and put up at a public house kept
by a Mr. Smith, his mother and sister. After tea, Pierrepont
Edwards, Esq., called on us and my brother and Mr. Edwards
took a walk over the city. My brother was well acquainted
with Mr. Edwards, as he had been called several times to
Rhode Island to argue causes. In causes of great interest, Mr.
Edwards was generally employed as counsel. He was then es-
teemed as the giant lawyer in New England. Great crowds
were attracted to hear him. In the great case against George
Irish and of John Brown of Providence, against Jacob Smith
of Newport, the master of one of Mr. Brown's ships, Mr.
Edwards was employed and successfully defended both. Mr.
Dexter, of Boston, was his successor in the forum and, in
succession, Mr. Webster is now the Lion. Mr, Edwards in-
vited us to dine with him on Sunday, coming and waiting
io6 Appendices
on us to the Episcopal Church. His wife and daughters were
there and a Mr. Hubbard '''^preached. My brother, myself, Mr.
Edwards, his wife and two young daughters constituted the
party. Whether his wife was a member of the Church or not,
I do not know. She knelt during the service. We had calves-
head for dinner, a pudding &c.
In the afternoon we all went to church, except Mr. Ed-
wards. He was a fine looking man about forty years of age,
in stature rather higher than common, with dark hair and eyes, 11
florid complexion and person full, but not corpulent. His dress
was black small-clothes, black silk stockings and a cocked hat.
I was surprised at his Tankiesh tone of speaking. His wife was
good looking but not handsome. If they had sons, they were
not at home. I saw only these two daughters, eight and six
years old.
Mr. Edwards' house was spacious, of two stories, high be-
tween joints, carpeted and finely furnished with sofas and
large mirrors, as well as sconces for lights, which were rare at
that time. There was a large entry through the house and he
carried us into it to shew us a fine view of a mount in the
distance, the bay and the city. The garden was extensive and
finely arranged, the tulips being all in bloom. At church we
were introduced to Colonel Ingersoll, wife and family and
were invited to take tea with them, this same Sunday after-
noon. The party was my brother and myself, Mr. Ingersoll,
his wife, one son and two daughters, under eight years of age.
Mrs. Ingersoll was a tall, handsome woman and very dressy.
She was the daughter of a Mr. Ralph Isaacs, a Jew of New-
port. Mr. Evan Malbone, of Pomfret, married her sister, an-
other daughter of Ralph Isaacs. Mrs. Malbone was a very
handsome woman, but more corpulent than Mrs. Ingersoll.
I knew both of these ladies. They were the handsomest la-
dies that I ever saw. Mr. Ingersoll was the attorney-general
of Conneiticut and laboured under a palsical afFeilion. He
was quite an indifferent person in appearance.
On Monday morning, we left New Haven for New Lon-
don, by the sea-shore road, passed Dragon's Bridge, Saybrook
and Lyme Ferry, and arrived at New London about eight
o'clock in the evening. Having ridden fifty-seven miles, I was
much fatigued. We put up at Miner's public house and tar-

ried all night. On that evening a social club assembled there,
which disturbed the rest I so much needed, after so long
a ride. But for the great ease, with which my pacer carried
me, I could not have performed it. Dr. Wolcott, of New
London, being acquainted with my brother, insisted upon
being introduced. I relu6lantly consented, owing to my fa-
tigue. He was a fine, agreeable gentleman of accomplished
manners. The next morning, Mr. Nichols Fosdick, coifsin
to my father, called and took us to his house and we were
treated with much attention and kindness by himself and
family. The next day, Mr. Saltonstall (if I remember right, his
Christian name was Roswell,) invited us to pass the day at
his house, which we did. His wife was a Stewart and sister
to Mrs. Colonel John Handy, of Newport, and of Mrs. John
Robinson, of Narragansett. We passed the next day with
William Stewart. Several were invited, among others Mr. and
Mrs. Winthrop, who lived in a beautiful situation on the
north border of the town. Bishop Seabury and his daughter
called on us and solicited a visit, but we were forced to re-
sist their entreaties, on account of our anxiety to return
home. I regretted that I could not visit Mr. Seabury, as I
was acquainted with him. He had often visited my father's
house and was cousin to my mother.
On Friday of the second week, we left New London and
reached the house of our old friend, Matthew Robinson,
Esquire, in South Kingstown. On the next day, we arrived
at home, at "Smith's Castle," my father's place of residence,
and narrated to him the incidents of our novel, pleasant and
interesting excursion.

Letter from William Ellery^ of Newport, Rhode
Island, Signer of the Declaration of Independence, to
Daniel E. Updike, Wickford.
Newport, Sept. 15''' 1804
Dear Sir:
I ACKNOWLEDGE, with gratitude, the receipt of your
letter and am happy to hear that Wanton has continued
to behave so well as to merit your good opinion. My great
wish is that he may be an honest and a useful member of so-
ciety, a lover of God and Mankind.
Johnny was with us a iew days and behaved well. I ob-
served that he had a cough and cautioned him against the
night air and immoderate exercise. He is an a6live boy and
his parts are bright; but his constitution is tender and re-
quires care. I am glad to hear that his cough has abated.
We are fearfully and wonderfully made and so small a thing
as a grape-stone, a pea or a water-melon seed may disorder
and weaken, if not destroy, the whole corporeal frame.
Mr. Elam should be, by adjournments and in any other
way, accommodated, for he deserves everything of the Wash-
ington Academy. He is possessed of good qualities, has evi-
denced his regard for learning and for the happiness of the
poor and afflicted.
I am obliged to you for the invitation you have given Wan-
ton to tarry with you until the Academy opens and for the
kindnesses he has received at your house. He takes this letter
to you and, I trust, has a proper sense of gratitude to you and
Mrs. Updike. I may not be at home, when you and your Lady
make your visit to Newport this fall; for I meditate a journey
to the Eastward the very beginning of 06lober and expect to
be absent a month at least; but my daughters will be at home
and give you a friendly reception. I beg you and Mrs. Up-
dike to take up your abode with us. Sukey tells me that you
drink my health sometimes in water. A cup of cold water taken
or given in love is infinitely, in my estimation, preferable to
no Appendices
glasses even of Madeira, formally drunk to the health of others,
and a dinner of herbs, with afte6tion and peace, to a stalled
ox with contention.
Mr. Baker has been uncommonly attentive to me. He has
called upon me twice and dined with me once, and was very
sociable and agreeable. I value these attentions the more be-
cause they deprived him, probably, of the conversation of a
young lady, whom, it is said, he is courting. I say *'it is
said," because it had been said that he was courting Miss
Deblois, when, it seems, there was nothing in it, and there
may be no more intended in his notice of Miss Dennis than
an expression of his regard for the civilities, received from
her father and the family. When young men and young
women ride out together and -are seen frequently together,
young people are very, apt to say they are courting. Whether
Mr. Baker and his Dulcinea are in earnest or not, time will
discover. Marriage is honourable, where there is a voluntary
agreement and mutual affedlion between the parties. . . . Early
marriages have a tendency to keep young people steady and
regular in their condu6t. . . .Wherefore I should think such
marriages are best. But says somebody, in Cato's tragedy, with
a sneer or ironically, " Cato is a pretty fellow to trust a love-
tale with," and I, who am, although not so wise or virtuous,
yet older than he was, should have nothing to do with any
other courtships or marriages than those of my own children.
I am authorized to procure measuring-tubs for the Port of
North Kingstown and I would have you charge those, you have
procured, to the United States of America, taking care that
the account is dated some time in this month.
With regards to your wife and children, I am yr^ in the
bond of friendship,
WM Ellery

Letter from Dr. Sylvester Gardiner from Poole,
England, to fames Bowdoin, Boston.
Poole \_England'\ April 10, 1782
Dear Sir:
IT is now six years since this cruel and unhappy contest
has separated us from prosecuting a laudable undertaicing
in settling a wild and uncultivated country and, by that means,
increasing its Population, the two grand sources of riches and
wealth in every State. The remembrance of the many happy
hours, we spent together in this laudable design make not the
least part of my misfortunes. I think myself hardly \done}~\
by, since I left my country, in which I broke no law. I never
bore arms against her, nor entered into anyassociation, declara-
tion, or subscription against her during the Blockade, of which
there were many had since. My leaving the Province was rather
a Misfortune than a fault. Had I lived in any other Town in
the Province, except Boston, there would not have been the
same inducement for my leaving it. Our accounts were then
very disagreeable from the country. Whether true or false,
I don't pretend to say, they breathed nothing but punishment
to those, that did not leave the Town during the blockade.
This is the true and only reason for my leaving the Province
at the time I did and removing into a neighbouring one. In
this I broke no law. There cannot be any transgression in this.
My condu6l was regulated by the stridlest rules of freedom
and liberty, as we then enjoyed it, and for this innocent ac-
tion I have been proscribed, my estate seized, without even
being heard in my own defence. Is this the liberty my coun-
trymen are seeking after? If so, I am afraid it will end rather
in tyranny. It has been said of the Dutch, and I believe with
too much truth, that they were fighting so long for their re-
ligion and liberty, until they had neither the one or the other
left. I hope this will not be the unhappy fate of my own good
countrymen, who, when they refledi coolly and will suffer rea-
son to take the place of party rage and prejudice, they will,
112 Appendices
I am sure, make me such restitution that I am entitled to by
the laws of God and my country, in which, I am sure, no one
will more readily join them than yourself. I daresay, from your
penetration, you have long ago seen through the artful de-
sign of the French, that they have not been moved to your
assistance by any principle either of love or regard, but from
their own interest and their national and inveterate hatred to
Great Britain, the only power that stopped her in her career
to universal Monarchy and by weakening both countries in
such a manner as to give an opportunity to seize on yours
and becoming your masters. And if they don't throw off the
mask too soon, they will succeed. If so, there is not another
power on earth that can protect and rescue you from the all-
devouring jaws of that despotic monster and bloody persecu-
tor, but Great Britain, and how long that may be in her power,
God only knows. God grant my dear countrymen may see
through her dark and black designs, before it is too late.
There is now an entire change of our Ministry, which you
will hear of long before this can reach you, and by them, most
likely, a change of political measures. God grant us all grace
to put an end to this devouring war, so contrary to our most
holy religion, and unite us all once more in that bond of Peace
and brotherly Union, so necessary to the happiness of both
countries. Which God grant may soon take place and give
us all an opportunity to greet \one] another as friends,
I remain, yours,

An Interesting Ceremony in the Narragansett Coun-
try. Unveiling of the MacSparran Monument in
North Kingstown. ExtraSffrom " Providence Jour-
nal,'' Friday, June 25, 1869.
THE impressive and interesting ceremonies of unveiling
the beautiful granite monument recently ere6led to the
memory of the Rev. James MacSparran, D.D., under au-
thority of the Protestant Episcopal Convention of this Dio-
cese, took place yesterday, St. John Baptist's Day, in accor-
dance with the appointment made at the recent convention.
A special car was attached to the New York express train,
leaving this city at 12.35 o'clock, for the accommodation of
those desiring to visit the interesting and sacred spot, and
to participate in the inaugural services. The car was amply
filled, and beyond its seating accommodations in fa6t, by a
large number of ladies and gentlemen, among whom were the
Rt. Rev. Thomas M. Clark, Bishop, and several of the clergy
of the Diocese. The car was detached at Wickford station,
where stage-coaches and carriages, which had been provided,
were found in waiting to convey the party to the site of
the monument. The latter place was reached at about half
past two o'clock, after a delightful and invigorating ride of
five or six miles, through a beautiful and interesting country,
one particularly enjoyable to those of the passengers going
out from the closely populated city streets, — the pleasure of
the trip only marred by the heat of the midday sun, which
seemed, under the circumstances, to have poured forth with
an increased fervour, and the dust from the country roads,
which also, in quantity and quality, was not found lacking.
These were, indeed, trivial considerations, however, when
the happy experiences of the afternoon as a whole are called
to mind.
Upon arriving at the scene it was found that numbers of
the people from the villages of the town and from the sur-
rounding country had gathered at the monument, coming in
114 Appendices
from the different directions in carriages and on foot, so that,
at the time of the commencement of the exercises, the as-
sembly probably numbered at least four or five hundred per-
sons. The site of the monument is one of great historic in-
terest and impresses the visitor at once with its venerable
and sacred associations. It stands upon an elevated mound in
the centre of the old church-yard, surrounded by the graves
of many long since gone to their rest, the old stone slabs
which mark them — the oldest quite moss-grown and the in-
scriptions obliterated — bearing dates through the period of
years during which the ancient church edifice occupied the
site. The oldest legible inscription that we noticed was that
of December lo, 1725, the child whose grave it marks thus
having died nearly a century and a half ago. The spot is an
elevated region and the view therefrom beautiful and far-
extending. The monument is visible from a considerable dis-
tance on either side.
A stand was provided for the accommodation of the clergy
conducting the services, just at the south of the monument,
and seats were also provided for a portion of the audience.
The exercises were commenced at three o'clock by the sing-
ing of a beautiful and impressive hymn, after which a very
brief address was made by the Rev. S. A. Crane, D.D., of
East Greenwich, as chairman of the committee of arrange-
ments, welcoming his hearers to the sacred spot upon which
they had gathered. The monument was then unveiled, disclos-
ing to the assemblage an imposing shaft of Westerly granite,
fourteen feet in height and bearing appropriate inscriptions,
which are elsewhere noted. The upper portion of the monu-
ment consists of a plain massive and significant cross, its shaft
measuring ten inches square. Prayers were then said by the
Rev. Daniel Goodwin, re6lor of St. Paul's Church, Wick-
ford, which were followed by a second hymn. An historical
and biographical address, commemorative of the distinguished
labours of Dr. MacSparran and of the nursing, care, and pro-
tection for which the Diocese is indebted to the Venerable
Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts,
was then delivered by the Bishop.
Rev. Mr. Goodwin then made a few closing and appro-
priate remarks in relation to a better protection of the monu-
Appendices 115
ment eredled, and warmly appealed to those present to contri-
bute before leaving the scene, in order that a substantial wall
might be ere61:ed to enclose the yard, in place of the dilapi-
dated one now seen there, and promising that all that might
be contributed would be expended by the committee as wisely
as that already given for the enterprise. The Gloria in Excelsis
was then sung, when colle6ls were read by the Rev. Dr. Henry
Waterman, of St. Stephen's Church, this city, and the Bene-
di6tion was pronounced by the Bishop.
Returning to the depot, the Old Narragansett Church, re-
moved in 1800 from the site upon which the monument now
stands to the village of Wickford, was visited by the party,
who alighted from their conveyances and obtained a view of
its ancient looking interior, as well as its plain and weather-
beaten exterior. The Providence party then repaired to the
depot and returned to the city by the express train, arriving
here before eight o'clock.
The monument was designed, made, and ere6led by the
Messrs. Tingley, of Providence. The material is Westerly
granite. On the four sides of the die are the following in-
scriptions:

Original Subscription hist for the First Edition of'^The
History of the Episcopal Church in Narragansett,
Rhode Island,*' by Wilkins Updike, Esq. [1847].
THE work now proposed to be published, besides a his-
tory of everything relating to the Church, will contain
a full account of the early settlement of the King's Province,
with sketches of the state of society, and biographical sketches
of the men who have been distinguished in its religious and
political concerns. There will be an Appendix, containing
at full length. Dr. MacSparran's interesting work, entitled
"America Disse6led; or, the Early History of the Colonies,"
— which work has now become very scarce; and also ab-
stracts of the reports of the missionaries of the Church to the
Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, established in
London. The proposed work is said by competent judges, to
contain the greatest colle6lion of genealogical and family
history that has ever been published in the State.
It will make a thick o6tavo volume, and will be published
as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers is obtained, at
^2.50 a volume.
We engage to take the number of copies affixed to our
names, at the above price.
