- INTRODUCTION.
That all the principal facts belonging to the history of Samuel Gorton
and his companions and the affairs with which they were associated,
that are necessary to an understanding of them and a correct judgment
regarding them, have never been given, alone, not with others, in one
unbroken collection, and the desire expressed by many that these truths
from every source should together shed their light upon these subjects,
are the reasons above others that have prompted their gathermg and
issuing in this volume. r ,•
In this an essay is not intended, nor a discussion of subjects or opin-
ions, but the setting in their order before the reader the various perti-
nent accounts and records ; some of which when alone are misleading,
others which explain the truth with fairness, many of which were
written to defame the men and decry the measures they upheld, few of
which were written to extoll them, and many of which, recording but
events, have long laid unread and unpublished. We have in this fol-
lowed'the originals of the writings, quoting in full as many of them
as were not precluded from this by their great length or the amount of
their irrelevant matter; then endeavoring to as closely bide their phrase
as permitted by the required abridgment of them. We have been spar-
ing with our words of either praise or blame for those who have taken
part in the transactions; giving rather the facts to show whatever is
due them.
While a satisfied dominating people learn late by their experience,
the student and observer so far transcends them in knowledge that his
attainments often are, as such, beyond their recognition And, too, from
the general uncertainty, the reasonable suspicion, and worthy caution
regarding untried things, the unselfish motives of some men have been
misunderstood and the wisdom of their efforts unperceived by the peo-
ple of the times in which they lived. If the members of all religious
societies were not intolerant towards others who thought differently
from them, they might, under then the political incitements, have
become intolerant toward them upon gaining the strength to rule them.
The weakness and consequent sufferings of some of them helped them
earlier than others to see the wrong of punishing to correct belief and
earlier to discern that the remedy was in the separation of Church and
State.
The records of all the Colonies show that the Providence Colony had
a larger share of troubles than any other colony ; that the reason for this
" larger share " was her storming by all the other colonies, that " her
storming " arose from two inciting conditions. These " inciting con-
ditions " were — the first, the prospect of the other colonies that her
lands, located and inhabited without a charter, might be obtained by
them. The second, the desire of the other colonies that her inhabitants,
outcasts and refugees now aggrieved and unrestrained accusers, might
be again brought under their jurisdiction for punishment.

iv INTRODUCTION.
The records of events in the Providence Colony 3how that the troubles
there were principally from two sources — one operating from without,
the other aided from without, but operating from witJ:;in.
They show that the Providence Colony was founded and upheld and
the interests of its people served principally by two loyal men, their fol-
lowers and successors — one by his procuring the place ai'd settling it,
the other by his defending it, and as a consequence maintainu^'p' it.
' They show that the Colony was nearly dismembered by the -nternal
dissensions created principally by two disloyal men, subjects and agents
of other colonies, their followers and successors ; one by his fraudu-
lently claiming the lands, the other by his persistently asserting, in .
opposition to the will of the people, his authority to rule them.
The greatest of these causes of turbulence was that regarding the
lands. And for the possession of the lands, really more than for their
religious opinions, the loyal people and rightful owners of the lands
were assailed with the then political weapon of vile heresy and otherwise
abused.
During the earlier period of this history the printing press was an
institution of only the then powerful colony of Massachusetts; and not
until about one hundred years after was a printing press established
in the smaller and weaker colony of Providence and Rhode Island —
unfortunately long after much of the best of the writings of the later
colony were destroyed and the colonies' history, written by its enemies,
had been in varied versions published and industriously spread through-
out the land. Largely from this cause, all the men of those times who
led in advancing the condition of their fellows in this colony have been
the subjects of unlimited falsehood and calumny. Although men have,
at every period since then, been assailed, there have been printing presses
in every land, and many of them in the accused ones' hands, we
therefore not left as were the early readers and later readers of this early
history, dependent for information regarding men upon their enemies'
accounts of them, but have the utterances of both their enemies and
friends. However, we rejoice that the odium which rested upon the
founders of the Providence and Rhode Island Colony as a result of the
disadvantages related has been by the gradual revelations of truth
removed.
The loyal sons and daughters of the State have ever honored and cher-
ished, and their posterity will always hold in exalted remembrance, those
who, by their unselfish love and labors for mankind, wrought out so
much for us.
Doctor Lewis George Janes, in a valuable article on Samuel Gorton,
published in the May, 1898, number of the New England Magazine,
writes : " The nineteenth century has furnished an Easter morning for
many of the worthies of our earlier period. Buried beneath the dust of
centuries, with the stones of prejudice and obliquy sealing the mouths
of their sepulchres, they have awaited the potent touch of the angel of
the new historical method to remove the obstructions, tear from their
forgotten forms the dusty cerements of misunderstanding and neglect
and reveal to the world the living realities of their self-sacrificing labors
and the results which are our leading inheritance.
To most readers, even the ordinary student of history, this work will
be new and instructive, and, we trust, interesting. A. G.

Samuel Gorton was born in the year 1592' in the town of Gorton,"
then adjoining, but now included within the city of Manchester, Eng-
land; where his fathers had lived for many generations, not unknown
in the records of the heraldry of England.* At this place he was brought
up and received his early education.
During the receding days of his minority England was under the
rule of the Conformist King James. The canons drawn up by the
Convocation of 1606 inculcated obedience to the monarch's reign,
deduced the origin of government from patriarchal blood, declared that
no one should be admitted to sacred orders without a title, denounced
all liberal views, and pronounced anathemas on all who rejected the
canons' teachings. These canons were maintained by the higher clergy
who zealously lent themeslves to the support of the King's prerogative
and to the shaping of everything to his views. The celebrated schools
were under the control of persecuting Bishops. Laud was conspicuous
in the universities, and so great was the corruption therein that many
parents were discouraged from sending their children to them.* The
Universities of Cambridge and Oxford were set in opposition to the
Parliament. Cambridge, as early as 1603, had passed a grace that
whoever should oppose any part of the doctrine or discipline of the
Church of England should be suspended from any degree to be taken.'
The University of Oxford pronounced a solemn decree that by the
doctrine of the Holy Scripture it was unlawful to appear against the

Church, Feb. 12, 1502-3. Dr. Howard's Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica

of Gorton prior to the year 1685 can be found; they, doubtless, havinar been
destroyed in the troublesome times during and preceding the reign of Charles
the First. As until the close of his reign all English lands vested in the Sover-
eign, and were parcelled out by him to his favorites, it is probable that the land
was held by one of the name who sat off " The Gorton Parish Estate to the
maintenance of religious worship in the parish." "Gorton's letter to

King upon religion or any other account whatever ; and all persons to be
promoted in future to any degree were required to make oath that they
detested the opposite doctrine and would always continue to have the
same opinion.
Gorton's religious training was received in the English Church. In
an address to Charles the Second he says : " I drew my tenets ' from the
breast of my mother the Church of England.' " ' To the fundamental
doctrines taught by the Church he ever firmly held, yet to the practices
of that time in the Church and in the new Church set up in Massachu-
setts he was a Nonconformist.
We have referred to the corruption at that time in the Universities
and the conditions under which sacred orders on scholastic degrees
were at that time obtained from them that the reader should understand
why the younger generation of conscientious Nonconformists, however
much their delight in the opportunities for advancement in learning,
were not only discouraged from attending, but were constrained even
to condemn these famous schools ; and because Gorton, having thanked
God that he was not prepared for the ministry in them, " not bred up
in the schools of human learning," and so " drowned in pride through
Aristotle's principles,'" his enemies untruthfully proclaimed that he
despised all human learning. Gorton had a high appreciation of learn-
ing, and was himself possessed of more literary education than any of
the Rhode Island founders save Williams. He was instructed by able
tutors, and he received a classical education from them ; being studious,
he became an accomplished scholar, more than ordinarily skilled in the
languages and learned in English law; and his library was enriched with
the standard " volumes in which the ancient statutes " of his country
" were written." In law and in politics he understood his rights better
than did Williams or the proprietors, or the elders and magistrates of '
Massachusetts.* He approved of well educated ministers and teachers,
and opposed only those of them who enforced for themselves the
" divine rights " which had been taught them in the ancient schools.
He ever gave his support to every means providing for liberal educa-
tion and advancement of the people, and upheld, he says, in answer to the
charges made against him, " not scrupling any civil ordinance for the
education, ordering or governing of any civil state." "
It appears that he did not leave home till the age of about twenty-five
or thirty ; whether employed until that time in study or business we can
learn only from that " he had not engaged in any servile employment
until he settled in the colonies." '" His father had been a London mer-
chant and a member of a guild, and his own wealth (from the length
and peristence of his legal controversy in the colonies and in England)
seems to have exceeded that of any of the early settlers in the Provi-
dence and Rhode Island Plantations.*
Papers preserved show that in 1635 he was carrying on the business
of clothier in London. On the i8th of June of that year John Dukinfield,
of Dukinfield, County of Chester, England, gave him a release of all
actions and claims of action, etc., from the beginning of the world to
that date, apparently in the closing up of his business in London pre-
paratory to his departure for New England. " He yearned." he writes,

what the Bible taught him, as God enabled him to understand it."
" Samuel Gorton was," says Mackie, " one of the noble spirits who
esteemed liberty more than life, and, counting no sacrifice too great for
the maintenance of principal, could not dwell at ease in a land where
the inalienable rights of humanity were not acknowldeged or were
mocked at. With all its industrial prosperity, its pleasing attractions
to the eye of sense, its proud public annals and its dear private memories,
England could not retain him from adventuring upon the then dread
Atlantic and seeking out a spot among the self-denying settlers of a
barren coast and a savage wilderness, where in thought, deed, word and
act he might be free." ^ " I left my native country," he says, " to enjoy
liberty of conscience in respect to faith toward God and for no other
end." '
His wife who came with him to New England was Mary Maplet,
daughter of John Maplet, gent, of St. Martin's le Grand, London, and
Mary, his wife,* a lady of education and refinement; and, as he wrote of
her, " as tenderly brought up as any man's wife in the town," " little
prepared to share with him the hardships of his exceptionally hard
pioneer experience. Her father was, it appears, the son of the Rev.
John, whose people had, if the assertion is true, early acquired a com-
petency in the business of dealer in shoes.
The freedom of his disbursements and the advantages of education
he extended to the members of his family reveal the comfortable condi-
tion of his circumstances and the elevated character of his daughter's
early environments. That she was accorded by her parents the superior
advantages enjoyed by the other children while she was with them seems
reasonable.' After her departure she was supplied by them with herds
of choice breeds of cattle for the stalls and pastures belonging to her
New England home.
Gorton landed in Boston in March, 1636-7, at the age of forty-four
years, with his wife, his eldest son Samuel, then six years of age, and
one or more other children.
It was a surprise to him and to many others, who, like him, came to
New England to enjoy liberty of worship and escape the persecutions
at that time of the English government, to find upon landing here that
the new rulers had established over the new colony a new church gov-
ernment as austere as the old one from which they had departed ; and to
maintain it admitted as citizens only such as could qualify for the new
church, both in form and doctrine.' That every person not holding to
the new rulers' opinion. Judge Story says, four-fifths of the people were
thus disfranchised of all the privileges of a citizen, to vote or to hold
land ; that the freeman's oath had been changed under Endicot, from the
government of King Charles and was to the government of Massachu-
setts,* and was required to be given to every man above the age of six-

teen,* with the penalty of his being punished and his land, if he had any,
confiscated in case of his refusal to take it." Magistrates were empow-
ered to fine or imprison all persons absenting themselves from the ser-
vices of their church,' and no one could be admitted to the freedom of
the commonwealth who had gathered in any other church meeting;'
that no one without the magistrates' leave should inhabit in the colony;'
and that the magistrates were to examine and license those who could
settle.' Those who had settled in violation of these laws were com-
manded to depart. The orders were required to be enforced with severe
penalties. Every person was forbidden to entertain a stranger in their
house; to allovv^ them the use of a lot; or vitermine an habitation."
The time of Gorton's arrival was also in the midst of the proceedings
against Wheelright, the brother-in-law of Annie Hutchinson, which pro-
ceedings began on the 19th day of March, 1636-7. He says that upon
his arrival he found the people at great variance in points of religion,
prosecuting it very hotly in their public courts unto fines and banish-
ments of men of good report, both for life and doctrine even among
themselves.*
There is no evidence or intimation anywhere that he took any part
in these controversies, and from his writings we infer that it is not
probable that he did. " He discovered that the liberty which he sought
was not here; that the practice here was far short of the profession as
he understood it ; and the liberty which they practiced was only a liberty
for themselves and not for their other fellow-Christians." ' Only by
avoiding the attention of the magistrates could he have remained as
he did with his family where he landed, barely long enough to rest
from the fatigue of the voyage, make a hasty prospect and find a place
where one with the liberty he sought would be allowed to settle. Within
about two months from the time of his landing he took up his residence
in Plymouth, intending to make that his home.
The Plymouth government was in some respects more liberal than
that of Massachusetts. The Pilgrims, unlike the Puritans, had sub-
scribed in their compact to the King and his statutes for their govern-
ment.* Although they had this early enacted that " no one shall live
within the government of Plymouth without the leave and liking of the
Governor and two of the Assistants," ' they did not require of settlers
that strict conformity to their church which prevailed in Massachusetts.
Their freeman's oath was to King Charles; their Governor was chosen
directly by the votes of the freemen, and they recognized the franchise
right of nearly all settlers.
William Vassal, a man of fortune, who was one of the original Assist-
ants named in the charter of the Massachusetts company and a founder
of that colony, being dissatisfied with the proscriptive government set
up there, returned to England, but recrossed the sea in 1635-6, settling
in Plymouth colony.

remained in Boston until there was sent over " directions to demand a
£100 debt" of a citizen; "as if [though Cotton does not say it] his
going was occasioned by the demand of and his refusal to pay an honest
debt. If Cotton meant to intimate such refusal it is against the whole
course of a long life of eighty-five years, forty years of which were
passed in New England. He removed but about a day's journey from
Boston. The courts were as open at Plymouth as at Boston, and he
might have been followed to Plymouth, but he was not. But there are
some facts which, in this connection, it may be proper to state, viz.,
Cotton's book was published in London in May, 1647, ^^" years after
Gorton left Boston. Gorton was then in England, prosecuting his
complaint against Massachusetts. The most speedy communication with
Rhode Island was not open to him. He could not send by way of
Boston, but only by way of the Dutch at Manhattan. This was long,
tedious and difficult. Yet on the 30th day of September, 1647, about
four months from the time Cotton's statement was first made public,
the release of John Dukinfield, before mentioned, dated nearly two years
before Gorton left England, was put by Gorton's directions upon the
Colony Records at Newport, the most public place it could be recorded,
and is the only instrument of the kind upon those records." "
Gorton began housekeeping at Plymouth in a part of a house he hired
of Ralph Smith for a term of four years, taking a written lease for
that time. The early opposition in Massachusetts to Roger Williams
obliged him to retire to Plymouth. Finding difficulties here, he returned
to Massachusetts, from whence he was banished. While in Plymouth
he served as assistant to this Smith, who was then the pastor of the
church at Plymouth. Smith " had," a church authority said, " the mis-
fortune to possess more zeal than prudence." Upon the request of the
congregation, he had, before the period of this narrative, resigned his
pastoral charge and was rapidly falling into disgrace. (To purloining,
etc., see through the whole Plymouth Colony Records.)
On the 7th of June following Gorton's settlement in Plymouth, the
Colony, in response to a call from Massachusetts, resolved to send
thirty men as soldiers, and as many more as were necessary, to Massa-
chusetts to man a vessel to aid them in the Pequot war. The men
volunteered for this service, and among the volunteers on the 7th day
of June were Samuel Gorton and Thomas Gorton, the latter by some
believed to have been his father and by others to have been a bachelor
brother, who generally accompanied him.* His prompt and voluntary
enrollment in this service for a neighboring colony this early reveals
to us that which was ever afterwards observed in him, an unselfish
readiness to, under all circumstances, fearlessly bear the responsibilities
and perform the duties of a citizen " in the defense of the rights of
others, as well as of himself." " They may well have deemed him a
J useful instrument at his first coming.?' *
The political issues at Plymouth were, at the time of Gorton's arrival
I there — the time approaching the annual election — of unprecedented
interest and importance, for the reason that changes in the government
were proposed, intended to subvert its order according to the Statutes
to which the Pilgrims had subscribed to that of the Judaic system of
intolerance which was established in Massachusetts. The church party
of Plymouth and Massachusetts had rallied under the leadership of
Prence of Duxboro, a Massachusetts Puritan, hostile to everything
opposed to the church and zealous to submit everything to its rule, and

had selected him for Governor of Plymouth Colony. In 1636 eight
Deputies had met, four from Plymouth and two from each of the other
towns, and in conjunction with the court revised and codified the laws.*
These Deputies were selected for only this purpose; were without any
instructions by the people to introduce a representaitve system, although
such a system these Deputies reported.' Later in the same year another
step was taken by the court which was clearly in the direction of a rep-
resentative system. The function of the General Assembly was divided
the meetmgs for legislation were to be kept distinct from those upon
the election, and in the latter voting by proxy was permitted." Another
Act contrary to the will of the people followed, changing the character
of the government "from popular to representative," transferring the
power which was in the whole body of the freemen to Commissioners
or Deputies, taking away from the people the choice of their Governor
and giving the choice to a body of delegates. The old yet present method
of rulers of so doctoring the Statutes that the will of the people cannot
prevent the perpetuation of the rule of those who are in office. And,
further, to better insure the election of subservient delegates, the number
of freemen were diminished, William Vassal and other most worthy
men being disqualified from voting.
The patent under which the lands were held was to " William Brad-
ford, his heirs, his associates and assigns." This, joined to the other
perils of the new system, occasioned alarm to the people, and filled them
with apprehension lest citizenship and the land would, as in Massachu-
setts, be granted only to a few strictly qualified church members. Con-
ferences between the Deputies and the people were held, which resulted
in the suspension for a while of the conveyance of land by the Governor
and Assistants.^
The church party, however, by arbitrary methods soon prevailed, and
succeeded both in making Prence the Governor and in the adoption of
representative government; but the majority party did not quietly yiel*
to the change, the popular voice was after the excitement, even unr'^r
the disadvantage of quasi-representation, in a measure expressed oy
laying aside the Governor at the next election; and, although the new
system which had been adopted in violation of the will of the people
was maintained, it was maintained only by means of attending agreeable
compensating concessions; by Bradford, who succeeded Prence, sur-
rendering the charter rights in the lands to all of the freemen, and by
admitting all who had taken the oath of fidelity to the government to
a voice in choosing the delegates for the elections.'
One of the reasons, says the Rev. Cotton Mather, why they of Massa-
chusetts chose that Prence should be Governor of Plymouth was his
hostility to the exercise of the gift of the established ministry by private
brethren; and this point, he says, was gained in his election.' "Private
brethren" were those not approved by the new church, whether they
had or not received church orders.
In May, 1638. there came to Plymouth an eminent scholar and
preacher of the Gospel, who was born in the same year as Gorton, and
of whom he speaks as " a Godly man ; " learned in the original languages,
a professor some time of Greek and of the Hebrew, now silenced as a
minister in England. He had been sent for to be settled as the minister
of Plymouth, but, differing from the church as he found it here, the
afterwards convinced that the wars upon the Indians were unnecessary, and he
opposed them and that which followed the sale and enslavement of the captives

matter was submitted to the members of Plymouth and other colonies.
All were against Chauncy and he was not settled. After preaching as
aid to Raynor for a while he was called to Scituate, the town adjoining,
in Plymouth Colony, where he remained, although with frequent troubles,
for more than twelve years."
Gorton, we are assured, was the most determined leader of the people
in their opposition to the church system, not even excepting their active
leader Vassal. Gorton also was one of those who, for the exercise of
the gift of the established brethren, was a subject of the hostility of
Prence, the point gained by his election.
The law referred to against harboring strangers was now for the first
rigidly enforced by Prence's administration, in deporting those who
were not in harmony with it in their belief and conduct.
There was and had been for some time prior to November, 1638,
living in Gorton's family a widow by the name of Ellen Aldridge, a
woman of good repute, careful of her reputation, who had lately come
over and was employed by his wife as a servant in the family. " It had
been whispered privately that she had smiled in the congregation (a
similar instance is recorded in an early law docket of Trumbull's.
" Susan Smith, on the Lord's day during Divine service, did smile."
Fined five shillings and costs of prosecution), and the Governor Prence
sent to know her business, and commanded, after punishment as the
bench see fit, her departure and also anyone who brought her ' to the place
from which she came.' " Gorton says they proposed to deport her as
a vagabond, and to escape the shame threatened to be put upon her she
fied to the woods, where she for several days remained, returning at
night to his home for shelter. Gorton appeared at court [Dec. 4, 1638]
in defense of her, showed that the offense was not recognized in the
English law, to the protection of which he appealed, and that she was
no vagabond, that she was a woman of good report and by diligent labor
earning her bread. He was charged with deluding the court of her,
and he was bound to answer for this contempt at the next sessions.
Gorton had now made Plymouth his home for eighteen months, and
he was described as quiet and peaceable ; a useful citizen ; kind, court-
eous, agreeable. He appeared at the next sessions of the court to defend
himself for defending this woman ; was fined for seditious conduct and
limited to fourteen days to remain in Plymouth. This is Gorton's truth-
ful account of it, agreeing exactly with the official records.
During the agitation attending this the emotions of Ralph Smith, the
ex-pastor before mentioned, became excited, and he, taking sides against
Gorton, ordered him to vacate the house. Gorton persuaded Smith to
leave the matter to Deacon Cook and others for arbitrament, but the
Governor Prence, learning of it, imperiously commanded the papers
out of their hands and destroyed them. This Ralph Smith afYair, which
was not a case in court, was settled in Smith's favor by the former
case which was in court, by its act of Gorton's banishment, which, of
course, compelled him to abandon the house.
The only charge of the court against Gorton, the alleged sedition,
occurred in the half hour at the court in which he appeared for defend-
ing this woman."

This action against Gorton was very unpopular. People, such as
inhabit our towns and make up our courts to-day, would have appeared
and been heard in opposition to the magistrates ; but those of that gener-
ation had been bred under oppression, and been, many of them, by sad
experience, made docile to those who claimed the divine right to rule
them. Yet the people left upon the official docket a record that is,
although in quiet form, a remarkably strong and Unanimous Protest
to the Proceedings. Every one of the sixteen, upon whom the court
depended for the trial and its orderly proceeding, attested their dis-
approval and dislike to it by their absence. All of them were fined once,
and most of them twice, and many of them three times, by the magis-
trates for persistent non-attendance.' This, like most of the other per-
secuting trials in Plymouth and Massachusetts, was conducted by a
handful of church-magistrates in their own imperious way. To the
honor of Plymouth and Massachusetts it can be said that they never
were approved by the ^people.
William Vassal, before referred to, who had settled in Plymouth
Colony, was one of the foremost in the movement to abolish the dis-
tinctions that were maintained in civil and church state, and to have
the government administered wholly by the laws of England. Nine
men, but two of half the whole number of freemen from Vassal's town,
Scituate,^ were at this same court of Prence's at which Gorton was
sentenced, presented for speaking disrespectful of the Governor and
magistrates or assistants, and for without license admitting strangers
and foreigners to their houses and lands.' When, in 1645, Vassal's
movement had extended beyond Plymouth and into Massachusetts,
Winslow of Plymouth wrote to Winthrop of Massachusetts a letter of
commiseration on account of it, with a description of what had been
attempted at Plymouth and a lamentation in the following strain that
such a spirit of toleration had arisen and was prevailing: "The sum
of it was," said Winslow, " to allow and maintain full and free toleration
of religion to all men that would preserve the civil peace and submit
unto government. But the Governor, Mr. Prence, and myself expressed
the sad consequences that would follow [yet, notwithstanding, it was
required according to order to be voted], and the Governor would not
allow it to come to vote, as being that would eat out the power of godli-
ness." " You would have admired to have seen how sweet this carion
relished to the deputies." " If you have heard of the particulars and the
persons, especially the ringleader of the rout, you may gather the more
insight by this general." * Though early a liberal Governor, he
(Winslow) later imbibed some of the persecuting spirit of Massachu-
setts.° But a majority of the General Court of Plymouth, among them
Brown, Hatherly, Standish and Freeman, were in favor of Vassal's
movement. Yet, knowing this, Prence the Governor could override the
Deputies and the people, and even violate the established order of the
court, as he did by refusing to put the question to vote.*
Prence, " the only persecuting Governor of the Plymouth colony," '
industriously and relentlessly enforced the Puritan church policy. His
very first act as Governor was the whipping of Web Abey, upon the
unreliable testimony of the same before-named Ralph Smith, that the
man had upon a Sunday bestowed some labor upon his garden. Richard

And one. Master Doughty, a minister and a man of means when he
came to the colony, was ruined by fines and then forced to go away with
his wife and children.* Not all of these, or of other like cases, are
entered in the official records, yet those that are there are too numerous
to here permit their further enumeration. Bradford, the people's can-
didate, succeeded Prence in the chief office; and Prence did not for
nineteen years thereafter, not until Bradford's death, and with the
assistance of the Massachusetts magistrates, again secure the office.'"
His temper was then the same, severe and unimproved by his experience
and long waiting. Upon regaining the Governorship and judicial seat,
his first act was to appoint a committee to revise the laws. New ones
against the Quakers were under his leadership immediately enacted,
and the law that the Governor should hold the office " one whole year,
no more," ' was to provide, as in Massachusetts, for a tenure for life,
changed to " until another be elected." ' Now, under the representative
system which he had been foremost in establishing and by the delegates
of his promotion and handling, he was many times re-elected to the office.
His rule was one of exceptionally severe persecution and cruelty.*
Having made but brief reference to the court in whick Gorton was
tried, let us return to it for some particulars of the trial. The court is
the accuseer. At the first hearing the court, enlarging upon a point,
aggravated the matter more than Gorton thought it deserved, so much
so that he said they " were speaking hyperbolically." The magistrate,
not understanding that term, turned to their Elder, Brewster, for an
explanation, and the explanation was that he, Gorton, had told the
magistrate " that he lied." Gorton " thought that this would not do to
apply to the Scripture of Truth." At the final hearing Jonathan Brew-
ster, the son of the ruling Elder and the one that explained the hyperbole,
was the Foreman of the Jury. Winslow says, Gorton being called, and
the Governor (Prence), because he was weary of speech to other causes,
requested one of the magistrates, who was present at the commitment
and privy to the whole cause, to state the cause of his bonds in the
great affront he had given the government. The magistrates, Gorton
asserted, should not be parties and judges; that the place of a Prosecutor
was not in the Judge's seat, but " down here where a Prosecutor should
stand ; " and he called the people to witness how their liberties v/ere
abused. The cause was stated, however, by one of the magistrates, the
one who presided at the first trial. Magistrates and divers Elders were
allowed to speak as Prosecutors, while, though there was no Attorney
at Plymouth to speak for Gorton, the Foreman of the Jury moved that
he should not be allowed to speak for himself. His reference to the
English Statutes was not regarded. Magistrate nor Elder would listen
to recitations from them, but all urged that punishment should be
inflicted.*
The following is Chief Justice Brayton's description: "I have en-
deavored to figure to myself the court scene as it occurred at that trial.
Here is a tall, spare man, with arms proportional, and urging gestures,
a man of independent spirit, as intelligent as any member of the court
before which he appears, having a character for truth, for honesty, for
morality, for courtesy to all, and for Christian charity; a quick sense
of justice, earnest in the defense of the rights of others, as well as of
himself; having a just pride in his ancestry, no one of whom had ever

been thus treated, whose boast it was that he never laid his hands in
violence upon any human being, not even upon his children ; a man who,
though he would avoid the ecclesiastical law at home or here, yet desired
to be governed in all civil respects by the common laws of England with
its ancient Statutes. He is here for the first time arraigned for any
offense whatever. The charge now is that he endeavored to keep away
from the court a reputable woman, charged with no offense (a servant
in his own family), to prevent the disgrace upon her of being treated
as a vagabond and her to remain a faithful servant.
" The court here was one in whose breast alone by the Statutes of
Plymouth was vested the kind and the measure of punishment of every
misdemeanor ' as God had enlightened them.'
" This man was standing before this court and in the presence of a
jury empanelled to try his case, and awaits the charges to be stated by
the Prosecutor or accuser.
" It came from the court which sits in judgment and from the mouth
of that member, who, when the court ivas held more private, stated the
charge with such gross aggravation, and who now probably states it with
the same aggravation.
" Is it strange that he should object to his accusers sitting as his
judges? and should say that the place of an accuser should not be in
the judgment seat, but ' dozm here,' the place of a Prosecutor. ' Let
them not be parties and judges'
"They continue to sit in judgment. He attempts to defend himself;
he most likely called their attention to the ancient laws of England,
and in the language of these laws, for he says, elsewhere, he was not
allowed to speak in their language. He endeavors to defend himself,
nevertheless.
"And now the foreman of the jury, the son of the ruling elder who
explained the hyperbole, not content with performing his duty as an
impartial juror, rises and moves the court that he shall not be allowed
to speak for himself, and, there being no Attorney at Plymouth, in effect
that he should not be defended.
" What would such a man in such a presence and under such circum-
stances be likely to say or do?
" Would he, while his accusers sat in judgment upon him, quietly
asquiesce in the justice of it? or would he not rather challenge them for
partiality and that zvarmly? and when his objection was rudely over-
ruled, is it strange that he shoidd say with warmth, somewhat mingled
with indignation, ' Let them not be parties and judges; ' or that his long
arm should be stretched out either toward the bench or to the audience,
with the spirit that moved him?
" He attempts to refer to the laws of England [he is a loyal man] as
bearing upon the question of his guilt ; they are not allozved to be named.
He attempts to speak in the 'language of them;' he cannot speak 'in
their language.' and his defense is restrained.
" Now the foreman of that body of men who are to try him, and who
he supposed were impartial, rises and attempts to cut him off from
further hearing and to close his mouth.
_" I repeat, what would such a man, of an independent and fearless
spirit, be likely to do or say under these circumstances? Would he not
rise to his full height, and, breasting himself to the storm, not merely
warmed, but fired with indignation, vent himself in impassioned lan-
guage, and breathe out his feelings of wrong and oppression? would he
not be eloquent [for he is said to have been eloquent], and might he not
be excused, if, moved by the spirit, his gestures were vehement, if he
' threw his arms about? '

"All this defense and attempted defense were pronounced to be tur-
bulent and seditious ; and so, on the 4th day of December, 1638, he was
sentenced to depart from Plymouth, his home, his hired house, his wife
and children, and to be beyond the utmost bounds of it within fourteen
days."
His departure from Plymouth was in the extremity of New England
mid-winter, and happened in the midst of the greatest tempest of wind
and snow recorded of the times, from the severity of which many of the
colonists were frozen and perished." " When the snow was up to the
knee and rivers to wade through up to the middle, and not so much as
one Indian to be found in that extremity of weather to afford either
fire or harbour, such as themselves had, being retired into the swamps
and thickets, where they were not to be found in any condition, we lay
divers nights together, and were constrained with the hazard of our
lives to betake ourselves to Narragansett Bay." ' Through which he was
preserved and came within the limit of his sentence, on December i8th,
to Pocasset, the nearest settlement, of abouty twenty families, on the
upper portion of Aquidneck Island. This island is in area nearly one
thirty-fifth part of the colony.

Pocasset, the first settlement upon the island, was made in 16,^7-8 by
John Clark and his followers, who were of the party of Massachusetts
Puritans in smypathy with John Wheelright. At the Massachusetts
May, 1637, election all the magistrates were chosen from the party of
the Covenant of Works, and Vane, Coddington and Dummer of the
opposite, Covenant of Grace, the party to which John Cotton for the
time adhered, were left out of ofifice.
The defeated magistrates showed their sense of injury by leaving the
seats appointed for the magistrates at the public worship, though Win-

throp sent to them, desiring them to sit with him; and, on the day
appointed for a Fast, October 12, 1637, on occasion of the Pequot
war, they deserted the Boston congregation and spent the day with
Wheelright at Mt. VVolHston, Hstening to him/
More than sixty male members of the Boston Church had remon-
strated to the proceedings against Wheelright. One of them, Deacon
Aspinwall, a magistrate, was dismissed and banished.' Deacon Cogger-
shall, another representative, although not a signer, but a justifier, was
dismissed." Most of the other remonstrators were required to deliver
up their arms. From among the latter John Clark proposed and Win-
throp advised a removal of them from the jurisdiction. After some
prospecting they met Roger Williams, upon whose advice they concluded
to settle upon the island of Aquidneck, which he, out of love for Clark,
agreed to secure for them;'" and they returned to Boston to arrange
for removal in the spring.
On March 7th, 1637-8, Clark, Aspinwall, Coggershall, Coddington and
others, in all nineteen in number, most of them long esteemed members
of the church at Boston, and most of whom were under no offense at all
and were never censured,' drew up, in one, a church covenant and com-
pact of government, vv^ith the references. Exodus xxiv. 3, 4; First
Chronicles xi. 3; Second Kings xi. 17, affixed to it, to all of which they
subscribed.^ The form was that of the Puritans submitting themselves
to God and the Bible, to be ruled thereby, being different from the
Pilgrims, who subscribed to the King and his Statutes for their govern-
ment. Coddington, who had long served as a magistrate, who was one
of the magistrates that expelled Williams from Salem," having larj^e
experience in government, they made judge— the sole judge to rule them.
This was a fortnight before the excommunication of Mrs. Hutchinson.*
After the signing of the compact and thereupon, March 12th, Deacons
Coggershall, Coddington and several others of the party were called
to appear at the court in Boston to answer about their departure or
remaining, Winthrop advising them to go off only for a time and then
to return.^
On the 24th of the month Williams obtained the island of Aquidneck
for them. The Sachems, Cannonicus and Miantinomi, had three years
before made a verbal tenure to him of Mooshausic. He now drew up
to himself a formal grant for it, and also a grant to Clark's company
for Aquidneck and two other small islands, which these Sachems exe-
cuted. " It was obtained," Williams says, "by love; not price nor money;
by the love and favor which that honorable gentleman (Vane) and
myself had with that great Sachem Miantinomi. Thousands could not
have bought of him Providence, Pautuxet or Aquidneck, or any other
land I had of him." Upon Williams' advice a gratuity of some beads,
coats and socks was made up by Clark and his party and given to the
Sachems. " I," Williams says, " drew up a writing in as sure a form
as I could at that time, for the benefit and assurance of the present and
future inhabitants of the island."" And, as Coddington was made the

head of Clark's company, the grant was drawn to " Coddington and his
friends."
Clark, with most of the company, immediately settled on the island.
Afterwards, on the 26th of April, Coddington, with his family, joined
them. At their first meeting following, May 13th, they located the town
Pocasset and a meeting house. They " gathered a church " of excom-
municated and admonished members of the Boston and Roxbury
churches, of members still attached to these churches who had never
been censured nor dismissed, and some new professors.' They adopted
a freeman's oath or terms of admission to membership in their govern-
ment, which was of fidelity, not to known civil laws, but to the laws of
Moses, according to the opinion of "the judge in matters of judgment."
And they sat up a court which was a modern Sanhedrim, its govern-
ment, except in the sympathy briefly tempering it to those who held to
the covenant of grace, of slight improvement on the one they departed
from in Massachusetts.
Mrs. Hutchinson, who had been convicted of heresy and confined in
Massachusetts, upon her release, the 28th of March, 1637-8, went to
Mt. Wolliston (Braintree) to her husband, who had joined with the
others in procuring the island of Aquidneck, and they, with other
friends, during the summer went to the island. Whether Mrs. Hutch-
inson's admittance as an inhabitant of the new island town was accom-
panied with her reception to the church is uncertain but very likely,
for the church, which was organized before her arrival, had " objection-
able members."
Those of the island church whom the Boston church still hoped to
influence were called into question for receiving the objectionable mem-
bers and for participating in such a sin. Coddington, being on a visit
to Boston, was brought under the discipline of the church there, con-
fessed himself in fault, and was solemnly admonished ; and others of
them, who were wont frequently to visit Boston, were called to answer
by the authorities. The members of the island church were thus dealt
with as often as opportunity afforded, and by the performance of such
acts of discipline, so often, its leading members became greatly weaned
from attachment to Mrs. Hutchinson and the so-called antinomians.'
There was the same difference between Gorton's views of government
and the government established here that there was at Plymouth. It was
not the bare objection attribvited to him that the islanders were without
a charter. Although Plymouth had one " by which," he said, " authority
was derived, which authority I reverenced," her government was
scarcely less objectionable to him on account of it. His objections to
the government on the island were that those who administered it
observed not the laws of England, of whom they were subjects, nor the
rights they provided for her subjects, that they had received no grant
of sovereignity from her, nor were they ruling by the suffrage of a
majority of the people, but had set themselves up as rulers and were
governing by their own interpretations of laws from the Bible. Gorton
was a student of law. His library he brought with him from England
contained the standard authorities," and he understood his own and the
people's rights better than did these judges and elders."
The few admitted " freemen " who sustained Coddington's govern-
ment had already become a moiety of the people, and even they, most of

them, had become dissatisfied and desired relief from its despotic ten-
dency. It, on the 22d day of January, within a month after Gorton's
arrival there, impelled probably by the necessity of stemming an out-
break of the opposing masses, adopted an amendment for the purpose
of gaining a firmer administration ; by which the form of the government
was changed from that of Hebrew judges to Hebrew judges and elders,
a form more highly Puritan and more in keeping with the church
order. This was effected by " choosing and calling " the " elders of the
church,' Coggershall, Easton and Brenton, " into the place of Elder-
ship " in the government, to rule with Coddington, and to allot only to
acceptable tenants the use of the soil.^ The Judges and Elders to account
for their acts to the body of freemen every quarter of the year, that
what had been done might be confirmed or repealed by the act of the
body. The Sergeant was to attend all meetings of the Judges and Elders
and to inform them of all breaches of the law of God that tended to civil
disturbance.*
The government was, under this form, carried on at Pocasset a little
less than four months ; whether the rulers gave an account to the body
of freemen at the end of the quarter, April 2d, does not appear from the
records, but on the 28th day of that month the majority* of the freemen
were that dissatisfied with their government that they would not endure
it longer. They, therefore, put out Coddington and the three Elders
and chose in the place of the former William Hutchinson.^
Gorton was the principal leader in this movement, the overthrow of
the government of Judges and Elders, who, he said, had " changed the
government from what it was originally," and who here, as elsewhere,
had denied freedom to all but themselves. No charges of official
derelictions appear of record against the deposed leaders, although an
" offering " shortly after issued by themselves implies that such had
been made.* That they had been despotic in their administration is
proven in that of the seventy-three now inhabitants but twenty-three
had been made " freemen," and thus the large majority of more than
two-thirds of the inhabitants were debarred from holding land and from
the right to vote. Besides, to this large dissatisfied majority who were
not freemen were added, on account of Coddington's denial of them of
the land rights justly claimed by them, nearly all of the original compact
freemen and nearly two-thirds of all who had been made freemen.
Coddington being named in the Indian grant, his right in the land
was evident, while the rights in it of the others with whom he joined in
securing it, but who had not their names placed in the grant, was sub-
jected to change and question. British lands were at this time held under
the feudal system, the Indian Sachems being recognized by the English
government as the feudal lords of the soil. Coddington, by virtue of
the Indian grant, himself assumed the lordship and disposal of the island
in tenantry only and to those who pledged fealty to his government and
became his friends. The land was voted by Coddington and his council
to this tenantry' for occupancy and improvement, and was again voted
away from them if they opposed his intended doings or failed to build.'
As a consequence of these conditions the land troubles became severe
and continued so, events encouraging Coddington, while the land hold-
ings remained in this unsettled state for thirteen more years, when,
after about half of those who had joined in securing Aquidneck had
from the various causes departed from the island, those remaining,

by fortuitous circumstances hereinafter related, drew from him an
acknowledgment of the land rights that belonged to them."
As before, when left out of office in Massachusetts, Coddington and
the three Elders, with Dyre the clerk, and two of the original members,
John Clark and Henry Bull, and two other persons, Jeremy Clark and
Thomas Hazard, who had not been admitted members, determined to
remove and propagate a new plantation.
These ex-officials took the books of records and land evidences of the
Pocasset government, which they had no right to, with them, and with
the others, in all nine persons, removed twelve miles down the island,
where they started, April 28, 1639, the town of Newport.'" For their
government they resolved " our determination shall be by Judge and
Elders," and while at Pocasset the Judge had but one, they resolved
now for a government of greater strength, " the Judge to have double
voice," or vote. " They carried on this government at Newport as they
had at Pocasset, with this variation only : The Judge, who before had
but one, now had a double voice. They still judged according to the
law of God as the Judge should determine." This was not a civil gov-
ernment.'
Gorton and his friends, the majority of the people, those who remained
at Pocasset, none the less than others acknowledged the presence of the
necessity for government and approved of government of necessity
without a charter, sanctioned by the people and in accordance to known
statute law.
Two days after removal from Pocasset of those who had been left
out of office, on April 30th, those that remained at Pocasset that had not
been members of the government — inhabitants dwelling there — with
William Hutchinson as an original member, by a written compact,
whereby acknowledging themselves " legal subjects of King Charles,"
they bound themselves " into a Civil body politic, unto his laws, accord-
ing to matters of justice." To this compact, already acknozvledging His
Majesty's Lazvs for their government, each member " particularly
recorded," " underwrote " his " agreement " and " acknowledgment."
William Hutchinson and Samuel Gorton lead the list of subscribers
to this compact. Among the names subscribed to it, Samuel Gorton,
John Wickes, Sampson Shotten and Robert Potter, residing there, were
afterwards original purchasers of Shawomet — none of them members
of the church compact.
The record of this new compact further is: "According to the intent
of the foregoing instrument, we, whose names are hereunto particularly
recorded, do agree, jointly, as by major voice, to govern ourselves b}^
the ruler or judge amongst us in all transactions for the space of one
year, he behaving himself according to the tenor of the same." "
The names of chief officers of this new government were erased from
the records by a succeeding administration, but we learn from Baylie
that they chose William Hutchinson [who is first on their list of mem-
bers] Governor.' They chose one, and Samuel Gorton is next on their
list of members. Deputy Governor. They terminated the office of
Elderships and chose four they called Assistants. These, with a
Recorder, Treasurer and Sergeant, for the help of the Governor in his

of the many early settlers were destroyed and nearly all the land of the island

Legislative Act confirmed absolutely to those in whose names they were at the
time of the passage of the Act recorded. "Nicholas Easton. one of the
three who were appointed Elders, gave the name Newport to the new settlement.

sdmiiiistration for one year. The titles of Governor, Deputy Governor
and Assistants were given to the officers of the government in their
official records, and they were the first of these titles in the colony/
" It was a government to exist for one year. It was a government
of law — English law. They provided for courts to be held every year
and every quarter of the year, and for a jury of twelve men to do right
betwixt man and man."
The men chosen as Assistants might consult among themselves and
put an end to controversies not amounting in value to £40 sterling. The
Judge, with the jury to decide it, if brought to the public court. This
■uas the first government in the colony with Magistrates governing only
in civil things; also zvas the earliest provision for a jury trial, and for
regular courts for the trial of causes made in the colony.
This government differed as wide as the poles from any system at the
Bay, or as yet at Newport. " It was the first government in the colony
organized like our government of to-day and maintained by universal
suffrage. No religious tests of political qualifications were prescribed,
every permanent inhabitant was a citizen. The government at Newport
continued to be administered as it had been — justice and judgment to
be impartial, according to the law of God."
They, at Pocasset, were living under a different form of government —
an entirely different system — had acknowledged their allegiance and
submitted to the laws of their King, and were now living under a com-
pact which swept away the whole Puritan polity.^ It was a model
government. It changed the name of the town to Portsmouth. It held
regular meetings monthly.*
They at Newport, governing there, desired to be restored to govern-
ing at Pocasset, now Portsmouth, and had at an early meeting appointed
Commissioners to negotiate with the '" brethren at Pocasset " for this
end ; but neither Hutchinson, Gorton or any others in place in the Ports-
mouth government entertained the negotiators or tlieir proposals. Not
discouraged, they at Newport, on the 25th of November, 1639, further
ordered that the Commissioners formerly appointed to negotiate the
business with our brethren at Pocasset shall give them our proposi-
tion under their hands, with their answers, and shall give reply unto
it, and so shall return to the body a brief of what they therein have
done.' They also appointed a committee for the purpose of obtaining a
patent for the island.
We are not informed what all the inducements were which Codding-
ton offered to effect the restoration of his government to Pocasset.
Those with him at Newport had been liberally allotted land, and would,
with Portsmouth, have larger bounty of lands and of homes to be con-
fiscated when they returned.* The Pocasset brethren were without a
land title, could not pass any, nor secure any from Coddington unless

who signed the Compact for Civil Government, and whose names are upon the

they belong to the list. Both of these men lived in Pocasset all the while Hutch-
inson was Governor. Savage did not leave until Feb. 2, 1639-40, after Coddington
had provided to return there. Asoinwall was there when the Boston Church
Committee visited the island Feb. 28, 16.^0-40, and for two years after. With all
the mutilation which the R. I. records underwent in the hands of the Coddington
party, to favor their government, many errors, aggravating the deception, were
also made in the copying, arranging and printing of them. They should be
reprinted from the originals. *Chief Justice Brayton in R. T. H. Tract,

they, by again supporting him, became " his friends." ' It appears, too,
that the government by Judge and Elders was not to be readopted by
him if he were again received by them. Another, a significant " offer-
ing," is recorded from the Newport brethren to the Pocasset brethren —
" That, as natural subjects to our Prince and subject to his laws, all
matters that concern the peace shall be by those that are officers of the
peace transacted; and all actions of the case or department shall be in
such courts as by orders are here appointed, and by such Judges as are
deputed, heard and legally determined." "* The members did not set
their names to this. It was signed by their Secretary and sent " to the
Pocasset brethren." It was a revelation of its authors' deficient knowl-
edge of law and their past disregard for it, and an offer to reform by
adopting and thereafter observing legal methods in their proceedings.
The Pocasset or Portsmouth people had individually subscribed to the
English statute laws. Among other propositions of Coddington's was
that he made to his henchmen, stated by him in his letter to Winthrop,
as a condition of his return — that Gorton and other leaders of the liberal
party should be driven from the island. Considering the eager desire of
the Coddington party for office and the wrath which they cherished
against those who opposed them, this promise, it will be seen, was cal-
culated to arouse them to great exertion.
Coddington, writing to Governor Winthrop, December 9, 1639, fifteen
days after, says : " I am removed twelve miles further up into the island.
They gathered a church and intend to choose officers shortly, and desire
better helps in that kind when the Lord is pleased to send them, and
would gladly see what means doth lie in us to obtain them. Things are
in far better pass, divers families being come in, and have given satis-
faction. Mr. Gorton and Mrs. Hutchinson oppose it. It was hatched
while I was in the Bay, and the Lord, I hope, will shortly put an end to
it. Mr. John Coggershall, Mr. William Brenton and Sergeant Balston
do desire to have their services presented to your worship." '
This conference of Coddington's committee — what he terms as his
removal up the island — was a meeting with not more than one or two
of the Portsmouth men, and was not an acceptance of his government
or of the people there, of his propositions or his authority. Gorton says:
" I knew of none that was present at their meeting but a Clergyman to
bless then." '
The " helps " who Coddington solicited from Winthrop the church
was pleased to supply him. In February, 1639-40, a deputation. Wild
says, of " four men of a loving and winning spirit " were sent by the
Boston church to visit its members upon the island, to discipline some
and to reclaim others. There are but three, William Hibbins, Edward
Gibbons and John Oliver, named in the manuscript returns, but Mr.
Lenthal, who went to Newport at the same time and remained to teach
there, may have been the other member. The deputation lodged the
first night of their journey at Mt. Wolliston with Mr. Savage, who had
but a few days before (February 6, 1639-40) left Portsmouth. The
second night they were met on the way by one who came from Taunton
and conducted them to his house. Oliver and Lenthal. after leaving
Taunton, for a time lost their way, but on the third day, February 28th,
they all came to Portsmouth.* Their return was made in the meeting
house at Boston after Cotton had finished his public exposition, March
16, 1639-40. At Portsmouth* they met Deacon Aspinwall, the banished
one, and brothers Sanford and Balston, the latter now the innkeeper

of the town, who with others gave them a meeting, listened to the read-
ing of the church's letter, and gave satisfactory answers. The next day
they visited Newport and were entertained by Coggershall, the dismissed
member, who would not receive the church's letter unless they of the
island were acknowledged to be a lawful church, which the deputation
had no commission to do.
Mrs. Hutchinson, of Portsmouth, refused to acknowledge the Boston
church. Mrs. Dyre, who afterwards became a Friend and lost her life
by it, acknowledged the church and desired communion with them; and
Deacon Aspinwall, the only one of the compact of first settlers who had
been banished from Massachusetts, was satisfied with the righteousness
of the church's proceedings against him and others."
Among the objections raised by the members who were under disci-
pline were: That the church had first broken the covenant with the
exiles ; that the covenant binds no longer than a member remains with
the church ; that parents and wives being cast out of the church, neces-
sity is laid upon others to go with them to supply their wants ; that they
had been driven out of the country. To which the Deputies made the
following: Answer 1st. If the church should break covenant with you,
yet that doth not loose the covenant between the church and you. Ansv.'er
2d. Though some of the members of the church had a hand in his
(Aspinwall's) censure and banishment, yet it follows not that the church
should deal with them when he suffered justly for his errors and his
misapplying of his doctrine, to raise up much trouble and commotion, to
the great detraction both of church and commonwealth ; therefore, we
cannot see that the church hath violated their covenant with you or
dissolved your covenant with us; therefore, brethren, do not walk like
lambs in a large place, but return, that we may watch over you, for we
seek not yours, but you and your good and peace. Answer 3d. The
necessity to go with castout parents and wives to care for them was
denied. Answer 4th. Mr. Winthrop affirms that his advice was not as
Governor, nor as the mouth of the court, but only in Christian love, to
depart for a time till they could give the court satisfaction. He answers
he did not advise all to depart, for he persuaded Mr. Coddington ear-
nestly to stay, and did undertake to make his peace with the court.
Neither did the court banish or drive any away but two, Mr. Aspinwall
and Mrs. Hutchinson. Some were under no offense at all with the court,
as our Brother Hazard.
Brother Hibbins promised and Brother Coddington accepted that the
church covenant should be sent to them. The junior Hutchinson re-
quested that he be dismissed from the covenant, but it was refused him,
and he was advised to agree to the justice of the church's act in casting
out his mother, Mrs. Annie Hutchinson, who, with Mr. Gorton, would
under no conditions acknowledge the church, and were reported to be
holding meetings in their houses.'
On the I2th of March, 1640, the day before the deputation's departure,
a meeting, presided over by Coddington, was held at Newport, attended
by some of the up-island men. With only eighteen out of the seventy-
ir>onth of August, 1640, he left the island and departed for England.
*The deputation got the names of the towns confused, sometimes calling one town
by the name of the other ; this, probably, was the result of Coddington having the
record books from Pocasset, which town had but eight months before changed
the name to Portsmouth. "Aspinwall was later. Mar. 27, 1642, fully
restored in the church. " He made," says Winthrop, " a very free and full
acknowledgment of his error and seducement, and that with much detestation
of his sin." Wheelright, who was banished and went to New Hampshire, also
tendered his submission and was restored to the church. Mass. Records, iii. 6.
*The Boston Church, not being all agreed, deferred sending the covenant to them.
PROVIDENCE AND RHODE ISLAND PLANTATIONS. 29
three Portsmouth freemen, only thirty-five from both towns, out of
ninety, only five out of nineteen of the first compact of settlers, but a
small minority in every way present, it " agreed, by this body united,"
and " embraced " the few present who were signers of the old church
compact,' and proceeded as a court for both towns, although recognizing
no one as a member of that government who became a freeman under
the civil compact of government. They received as new members five
of the latter who were present at the meeting, and disfranchised the
five soon after the five had voted to sustain the union and it had been
pronounced perfected.' The large majority of Portsmouth freemen were
never allowed to belong to Coddington's body of citizens ; yet at one of
his later courts, claiming jurisdiction over them, it was facetiously
" agreed " that they were " a democracy," " that is to say, it is in the
power of the body of freemen, orderly assembled, or the major part of
them, to make and constitute just laws.'" They adopted this much of
the Portsmouth government's methods of proceedings : That they
would drop their titles of Judge and Elders ; that the officers of the
government should be Governor, Deputy Governor and Assistants;"
and that Portsmouth continue to be the name of the town. They
appointed courts, consisting of Magistrates and Jurors, for both towns,
to determine all causes of action that should be presented.' They also
agreed that officers should be chosen by themselves for both towns, and
that the Governor and two Assistants should be from one town and the
Deputy Governor and two Assistants should be from the other town.
They thereupon chose officers for both towns ; but instead of following
the order they had suggested and adopted, that the towns should share
the offices equally, they chose both the Governor, Coddington. and the
Deputy Governor, Brenton, from those who belonged in Newport and
were of that government. The office of an Assistant was, as a ruse,
voted to ex-Governor Hutchinson, of Portsmouth, and then before the
end of the term voted to their Elder, Nicholas Easton, of Newport." On
account of the probable insurrection, an alarm was appointed, to which
all of the inhabitants of the island were commanded to answer at their
peril.^ Sheffield states that the most important person (Governor
Hutchinson) in what he styles the Gorton government abandoned it
and petitioned to be reunited to the people of Newport. The statement
that he so petitioned is an error. Those of Newport were the petitioners.
Hutchhinson resisted at first, but finally yielded to the petitioner's per-
suasions and " was embraced " by them.*
Winthrop, in referring to the overthrow of the Portsmouth govern-
ment, calls Hutchinson a weak man. He may not have considered that
Hutchinson and his supporters were in an unfairly disadvantageous
position, were without any grant for any land. They were possessed
or dispossessed, according to the practice, by the vote of those who had
gone to Nev/port and carried the record of their acts with them. Cod-
dington unyieldingly held the Indian grant of the island and sought to
obtain a patent for it to himself, to confirm his title." Hutchinson and
his followers were in the position of tenants, who would, in the event of

Coddington's further success, likely be evicted; and Hutchinson seems
to have placed above every other consideration that of saving to others
of Portsmouth, more than to himself, their rights in the land.
Hutchinson was not chosen Assistant at their next election. Had he
been willing to accept it, they had no further use for him. Bailey men-
tions the unfounded rumor referred to by Williams, " that Mrs. Hutchin-
son opposed magistracy and persuaded her husband to lay down his
office of Governor." This false charge of " opposition to magistracy "
was made by the church party, not only against her, but against Williams
and against Gorton at the very time Gorton was filling the office of
magistrate,* and against everyone who opposed the church magistrates.
Mrs. Hutchinson opposed only these and gave her support to others, of
whom her husband was one. She was opposed to the magistracy of
Coddington, assuredly from the time he acknowledged to the Boston
congregation that he erred in departing from their church at Boston,
and she aided in deposing him from the Pocasset government. She,
as Coddington complained, opposed his return as magistrate ; and she
may have persuaded her husband to lay down the office he had accepted
in the sinful alliance as assistant magistrate to the usurping church
magistrate Coddington.
In this assumption of Coddington at Newpwort to extend his govern-
ment to and over Portsmouth there were present, as we have seen, but
five of the original compact of first settlers, and a still smaller minority
of the whole people than of those he had made freemen. There were
upon mainland and island, prior to the charter, no other freemen than
those who were made freemen by a compact of settlers. Those who
were made freemen by the Portsmouth government were not present
nor admitted to a voice in Coddington's proceedings, and it is clear that
he had no rightful jurisdiction over the Portsmouth people.'
The return of the deputation to Boston was within four days after
the Newport meeting, at which Coddington assumed to be the Governor
over the whole island. The Deputies do not, in the account preserved,
mention their stopping again on their return at Taunton. Yet, at about
this time, a number of officials from Massachuset*;^ and the island met
there and arranged for disposing of their troublesome opponents.
Taunton, first settled in 1638 by Captain William Poole and his sister,
Lady Elizabeth, was a border town upon the main road between the
island and Massachusetts, and was a convenient and popular resort for
men of public affairs and for general travellers. At different times
and upon various occasions there met here [some of them under Com-
missions from the Governors and Assistants of Massachusetts] Boston,
Roxboro. Salem and other Massachusetts magistrates and ministers,
and ex-Governor Prence, Deputy Governor Brenton and other Plymouth
and island churchmen and politicians. Captain Poole's son John mar-
ried the daughter of Deputy Governor Brenton of the island, and later
Brenton bought a farm at Taunton and for a time made it his home.
Here Coddington took refuge and passed much of his time when he later
.povernment that he owned it. Seq. "Gorton, as Winthrop said, ''^ acknowl-

PROVIDENCE AND RHODE ISLAND PLANTATIONS. 31
was compelled to make flight from the island. The town received an
unusual degree of attention from Prence, and under him and the laws
against foreigners and strangers was the scene of many harrowing
acts of persecution."
A snare, instigated by the men at the Taunton gatherings, similar
to that which had in the Plymouth proceedings against Gorton's maid
served so effectually in disposing of those against whom no charge of
crime would be effectual, was laid upon the island for Gorton and like
unsubmissive islanders.''
Three months now had passed since Coddington's assumption of gov-
ernment over Portsmouth. Gorton had lived there for eighteen months,
" disturbing no man, conducting himself civilly to all men and court-
eously." Notwithstanding the defection of Hutchinson from the model
government at Portsmouth, it vv-as supported by Gorton and nearly all
of the Portsmouth people, and they maintained it and its courts for the
town, which courts were the only ones recognized as courts there by the
people. A quarterly or circuit court of Coddington's, one of those
appointed for the town of Portsmouth at the Newport meeting, was to
make an attempt in Portsmouth at sitting. A difficulty was to get causes
for trial before this court. Its summons would not be heeded by any
Portsmouth people. Action was brought into it by the following pro-
ceeding: William Brenton, one of its Judges, who was one of the
Elders with Coddington that had the year before been put out at Ports-
mouth, who went with him to Newport and was Elder there with him,
and who was at the Newport meeting declared, as a resident of Ports-
mouth, Deputy Governor over the whole island, himself made a com-
plaint and himself an arrest of a house-maid of Gorton's, and this for
an alleged trespass and assault on a woman. He arraigned the maid
before this court, himself and Coddington presiding. As at Plymouth,
Samuel Gorton now came to the aid of his servant. The kindness of
his heart prompted him to appear in this court in which she was detained,
Vv'hose jurisdiction he and the people denied, to release or defend her.'°
Here, as at Plymouth, there was no cause against Gorton. Here
there was a self-constituted court sitting with the intent of following
the Plymouth course and condemn him for contempt when he should
appear in it.
We find no letter over Coddington's name describing his hoped for
" end to it." But an anonymous informant gave an account, which is
the only account ever said to have been given by a witness to it. None
of the many witnesses to this — it was no trial — and the scenes follov/ing
it ever owned this account or gave another of it ; and, too, while William
Arnold and many others such as he, who were witnesses, were diligently
proclaiming everything that could cast discredit on Gorton, and that
boldly over their names.
From the anonymous account, in what no doubt is Winthrop's manu-
script, and the conditions presented by Coddington sitting with his court
of trial at Portsmouth, where more than three-quarters of the inhabit-
ants denied its jurisdiction, it is clear that there occurred there much
of what would occur to-day if the magistrates of one town attempted
to sit in another. Gorton vehemently protested against the unfairness
and illegality of the proceedings. Coddington called upon his followers

in the room to eject him. Gorton in turn called upon those of the home
government, who had subscribed to the King and his well-known laws,
to take away Coddington. Coddington's men laid hold upon Gorton
to remove him, while Randall Holden, John Wickes and others, the
Portsmouth people, stopped the way. The court was, it appears, without
a trial broken up into a hand-to-hand conflict, Coddington, in his zeal,
personally engaging in it.' The Portsmouth people, among them Gorton,
with clothes torn, for the time the victors, pursued Coddington in his
flight. Coddington, however, had come prepared for war by encamping
near by some soldiers, and by calling upon them partly restored his
order. John Wickes, Randall Holden and a number of others, most
substantial men of Portsmouth, were anathematized by Coddington's
court for denying its legality and jurisdiction.
Gorton and others, leaders of his party, some of whom were of the
first purchasers of Aquidneck, abandoned the island. The houses and
persons of the remaining Coddington opponents were then searched
[by those who had complained of the like treatment to themselves
when they were in Massachusetts] and a confiscation made of their
arms. Gorton and those who left the island with him went to Provi-
dence.' Clark, the leader of the movement for settling upon Aquidneck
and for whom Williams secured the island of the Sachems, who had up
to this time yielded to Coddington and been his pastor, now broke from
him, gave up the settled church, joined the Liberal party and never after
took part in government under Coddington. Lenthal, who came but
about six months before at Coddington's call for helps, as the teacher,
had with the others taken part against him, and all within a few weeks
had a rupture with the church regarding baptism, had a release from his
position, had a free school opened' and had been compelled to close it,
now, with the others who had taken part against Coddington, left the
island ; and Nicholas Easton was fined for breach of order and left out of
office.*
The breaking away of Clark and Lenthal, and the establishing by
Lenthal of the free school in the summer of 1640, probably was the
beginning of the Baptist Church on the island, though we find no full
account of its organization until some time after. Although it does not
appear that Coddington again attempted to hold a court of trials at
Portsmouth, the others who were leaders in the Liberal party, who
tried to remain to live there, among them Mrs. Hutchinson and her
family of sixteen and her friends, were so continually harrassed and
threatened with being taken and sent for discipline to Massachusetts
that they became terrorized and left the island. John Wickes, William
Aspinwall, Richard Carder, Randall Holden, Edward and William
Hutchinson, John Porter, Thomas Savage and Sampson Shotten were,
some of them imprisoned, most of them disfranchised, and all of them
and their families and friends with other opponents of Coddington,
including a large share of the original compact of purchasers, plundered
is the one from which the others are taken. By his story, they, of course, whipped
Gorton ; but, as the story proceeds, it reveals the certainty that the unpreserved
accounts by Gorton's friends told that they whipped Coddington ; for it sets
forth the fact that, although Coddington did make Gorton run, he didn't let Gorton
catch him. N. E. H. and G. Reg. ^These " intoxicated sectaries,"

some of them imprisoned, most of them disfranchised, and all of them
and their families and friends with other opponents of Coddington, in-
cluding a large share of the original compact of purchasers, plundered
of their lands and dwellings and driven from Aquidneck. For the time
and number, in proportion to population, no exodus from Massachusetts
exceeded the exodus under Coddington from the island.
It was among the terms of Coddington's return that the towns should
each choose and have their own magistrates for the affairs of their own
towns. Coddington's assumption was that of a general court, the law-
maker and superior judiciary for the island. There was no prospect
that the large majority of Portsmouth people all opposed to him would
ever submit to his government for the further reason that he disfran-
chised or debarred them from voting for or against him, he accepting
as his electors only his pledged friends.
Williams, in a letter written some years after, thus refers to it: "At
Rhode Island, how many instances come therein which I have ready by
me of Coddington : a worldly man, a selfish man, nothing for public, but
all for himself and private. I will not mention particulars at^ Ports-
mouth and Newport, of which I have told him as I had opportunity." '
Gorton, in a letter to Nathaniel Morton, written some years after,
makes these references to the Plymouth and Portsmouth troubles: "I
say no more of this now, though I can say much more, with the testi-
mony of men's consciences; but I have been silent to cover other men's
shame and not my own; for I could wish to be a bondsman so long as
I live upon the face of the earth, in human respects, that all the agita-
tions and transactions between the men of New England and myself
v/ere in print without diminution or extenuation. It should be a crown,
yea, a diadem, upon my grave if the truth, in more public or more
private agitation, were but in prose, though not in poetry, as it was acted
in all the places wherein you seek to blemish m.e. I perceive what
manner of honor you put upon me in [Aquidneck Island] Rhode Island,
which the actors may be ashamed of, and you to be the herald. I have
been silent of these things done at Plymouth and Rhode Island and
elsewhere, and am still in many respects, but have not forgotten them. ^
"And I have heard that some of Plymouth, then in place, were insti-
gators of the island. I could name the parties of both places, being met
together at Cohannet (Taunton). I carried myself obedient to the
government at Plymouth, so far as became me at the least, to the great
wrong of my family, more than is above said, as can be made to appear
if required; for I understood they had commission wherein authority
v;as derived, which authority I reverenced ; but Rhode Island at that
time had none; therefore, no aiitliority legally derived to deal with me;
neither had they the choice of the people, but set up themselves." *
The aversion Gorton expressed to the government of Coddington on
the island, we see, was not alone that it had no charter. He asserted
what was true, that there was no kind of right in Coddington's claim
to sovereignty; that absolute sovereignty could be obtained only by
individual commission from the English government; and without this,
with or without a charter, legal sovereignty was bestowed only by a
majority of all such inhabitants as were by the laws of England freemen.
Coddington had no commission from either the Crown or [except for
the first few weeks of his residence on the island] from the majority
of English freemen.

Gorton was none less practical than other men in accepting the fair
necessities of the situation, and in paying reverence to any government
that had the choice of the people, for the time, until firmly planted by
a charter from England. The proof of this is absolute, he having been
the leader in organizing the non-chartered model civil government on
the island, which was established by the voice of the whole people.^
CHAPTER III.
Coddington's and Benton's coquetry with the Massachusetts government — Moosh-
asuck, or Providence, settled by Roger Williams — He obtains written grants for
it and for Aquidneck Island — He divides the land to please the objectors to his
liberal policy — William Arnold lays large claims to lands — Inception of the
fraudulent land claims, difficulties resulting from them and the inability to
settle the disputes regarding the claims.
It was the naturally indulged hope of the Massachusetts magistrates
and of the visiting elders that Coddington would at a convenient time
submit himself and the island to their government; but on September
13, 1640, within about six months after the return of the Massachusetts
" helps/' who were sent to Coddington, from their visit to the island,
Coddington and Brenton, as Governor and Deputy Governor of the
island, the new titles they had appropriated from the Hutchinson and
Gorton government, elevated with their success and unmindful of their
obligations to their colleagues, Governor Winthrop of Massachusetts
and his Magistrates and Elders, joined with the Governors of Hartford
and New Haven in a letter to Winthrop concerning the latter's policy
toward the Indians, and advising him to join with them in a course of
proceedings. This was rightly considered by Winthrop and the Massa-
chusetts covirt a freak of obstreperousness on the part of the newly
fledged leaders, and the Massachusetts court accordingly resolved that,
while they agreed with them in regard to the suggested course of pro-
ceedings, they refused to have any correspondence with them as men
not to be capitulated with by us for themselves or for the people of the
island. The Massachusetts court also assented to all the propositions
laid down in the aforesaid letter, " but delivered their answer to New
Haven and Connecticut men only, excluding Mr. Coddington and Mr.
Brenton.""
As before mentioned, Roger Williams, on account of the opposition
against him by the Massachusetts people, had been obliged to leave there
and settle in Plymouth. Differences also arising between him and the
Plymouth people, he left there [Dr. Bentley, ist Mass. H. S. Col., vi,
246; R. I. H. S. Col., vii, 72], returning to Massachusetts, from whence
he was banished. In anticipation of his expulsion from Massachusetts
he, in the years 1634 and 1635, had several treaties with Cannonicus
and Miantinomi, the two Chief Sachems of the Narragansetts, regard-
ing lands for a settlement in Narragansett Bay,' and they granted him
the lands of Mooshasuck; it was a verbal grant. Early in 1635-6 he
with only a young lad, Thomas Ano;ell, then in his employ, sailed down
the river toward the home of the Sachems, whom he had accompanied
there in the preceding year." When reaching a cove, he describes, the
Sachems, in expectation of his coming, having gone out to him, met him
with loud demonstrations of joy. Others, in other boats, followed along
out of curiosity and the hope of gain. Of these who followed, he says,
'Samuel Gorton by Judge Erayton. "Mass. Rec, i, 305. "Williams'

he gave leave to Harris, destitute; Smith, banished; Wickes, poor; and
a lad Verin, to join him. And a settlement was in May or June, 1636,
made by this company, Williams, Angell, Harris, Smith, Wickes, Verin,
numbering six. Williams says : " I, in a sense of God's merciful provi-
dence to me in my distress, called the place Providence." He had no
partners. It was, he says, granted him in exchange principally for
friendly service to the Indian Sachems Cannonicus and Miantinomi,
and what cost there was attending it was borne by him alone.* His
object was to parcel it among such as were on account of religious
differences denied land in Massachusetts. A " compact in a civil way
for government, by consent and arbitration, was formed ; and members
admitted by Williams into a fellowship with him in the land, to be by
them parcelled out at a small cost paid into the town fund, to all men
of moral lives and refugees from religious persecution.
Among others who followed were two men William Arnold and Bene-
dict Arnold. They were Massachusetts' agents : Benedict also merchants'
agent for arms, ammunition and liquors. During May 1637 a trouble
arose; regarding which as Roger Williams writes, a boisterous and des-
perate man, the young Verin, having assaulted his wife so furiously with
blows as to endanger her life, because of her attending religious meetings,
the town council disfranchised him until he should amend his conduct.
Benedict Arnold supported Verin and with poor wit derided the Williams
or town covenant, asserting that as Verin dealt with his wife according
to his conscience it would be a violation of the covenant to punish or
restrain him, (Book Notes Vol. 24, Nos. i, 2, 3, 4, and following.)
Other men were, as they came, admitted into the association. Not
all joined, and some who did join parted from it, some returned to
Massachusetts; so but two of those who came with Williams are among
the " we six which came first " to whom " the first portions of grass
and meadows were appropriated ; " and but one of those, Harris, among
the first twelve, viz., William Harris, John Throckmorton, William
Arnold, Stuckley VVestcott, John Greene, Thomas Olney, Richard
Waterman, Ezekiel Holliman, Francis Weston, Robert Cole, William
Carpenter, Thomas James, whom, Williams states, were the first twelve
admitted into fellowship with him in the land. These men did not pay
anything to Williams, but those afterwards admitted, and the member-
ship soon increased to over a hundred, paid thirty dollars each into
the town fund, and from this fund thirty pounds were given him on
account of his time and expenses.*
On August I, 1637, John Greene, one of the twelve above named, a
surgeon by profession, was taken into custody by Massachusetts officers
and bound by their court in one hundred marks for speaking contempt-
uously of their Magistrates. Although Williams sent a letter to Win-
throp interceding for him, he was on September 19th fined twenty
pounds. Following this, letters were sent by Greene and others to the
Massachusetts court, which incurred their further displeasure, and, it
appearing to the court that others of Providence were in the same cor-
rupt judgment and practice, it was ordered that they should keep from
their jurisdiction under penalties as the court should see fit.** A number
of landless or new men subscribed probably during this August" to the
government in the town book, among them Benedict Arnold. William
Arnold earlier had been admitted to the association of government and

a fellowship in the land. To this association he ever adhered in name,
but was disloyal to it from the beginning, and ever both secretly and
openly in hand with Benedict in envious clamors and efforts to hamper
and destroy it and turn over to Massachusetts the government and the
land.
The grant as first made to Williams was a verbal one, but on " the
24th of the first month, commonly called March, in the second year of
our planting," in 1637-8, Williams wrote and these Sachems executed
an evidence of the grant " to Roger Williams ;" and Miantinomi went,
Williams says, " on account of the envious clamor of some against
himself, with him and other white men around the granted tract and
sat its bounds." '
At the time of the settlement of New England, and prior to the death
of Charles the First, the King was the only landholder in absolute fee
in England. All lands were vested in the Sovereign and were parcelled
out to his military and political supporters. These feudal lords held
them, though subject to escheat, in perpetuity from father to son. These
lords, who were also legislators, judges and executioners, in turn par-
celled the lands among their supporters the occupants or vassals, vAio
could not transmit it to their posterity. With the Cromwellian revolu-
tion began the annihilation of vassalage and the ownership of land by
the individual, a title in fee simple. With this change a few certain
men of Providence, who had shown a desire to become feudal lords
and who were quick to see the value which individual possession of the
land would be to them, objected to Williams' liberal policy in admitting
so many to share in its distribution ; and " as a peace offering," Williams
says, " and that he might be free " to pursue his intended policy at
Providence he, on October 8th, 1638, made to the first thirteen, that is,
himself and the twelve whom he had admitted to fellowship with him
as town trustees, a written conveyance of the land in the original
grant; and then he with them made a written conveyance to themselves,
as trustees for a new town in which they might be more guarded in their
allotments, of all that part of the land west of a line afterwards to be
established. The Williams grant was, after this, given two names : The
whole of it, the " Grand Purchase of Providence," and the western part
of it, the " Pawtuxet Purchase." Williams showed his disrelish of this
in designating these twelve associates as " the first monopolizing twelve,"
though eight of them did not follow the leaders in the monopoly. But
four only of them made claim of individual ownership in the nevvly
set-off lands.*
William Arnold and his son Benedict Arnold and son-in-law William
Carpenter and one Robert Cole immediately settled upon a part of what
they called the Pawtuxet purchase, and newcomers were not admitted
as landholders. Benedict Arnold associated with himself twelve men
in rivalry with Williams, and claimed to be the government of the people
of Providence. Their's were compulsory methods. Complaints were
made by these men that the Providence people were trespassing on their
purchase. Williams denying their pretensions, the cry arose, " What
is Roger Williams; we will have present bounds set," and the matter
of setting a line between Providence and Pawtuxet was referred to four
men, one of whom was William Harris, who became leader for the
Pawtuxet claimants.
In July, 1640, a report of failure to settle the difficulty was made by

them with propositions for the location of the line of separation, for a
system of government in which five town managers should dispose of
affairs by compulsory arbitration, and that " the tovv^n by five men shall
give every man a deed of all his lands lying within the bounds of the
plantation, to hold it for after ages." These propositions, in a paper
dated July 27th, purporting to be a combination agreement, printed
among the Early Records, was never acted upon by the inhabitants or
landholders of Providence, or agreed to, or so signed, or ever recorded
in Providence. We will lay it open when it was recorded ten years
later in Massachusetts. The earliest deed now known is one from
William Harris to William Arnold, dated August 29, 1640, and,
although we find no record of the deed from the town to Harris, it is
probable that he received one, the first their town committee granted
under the proposed order. The second deed known is from the town
of Providence to William Arnold, under date of April 14th, 1641. The
recording of other deeds folowed."
The scheme of the Pawtuxet claimants to acquire the lands developed
the remarkable adroitness of William Harris, who, as their leader with
claims and processes, " robbed us," Roger Williams says, " even by a
kind of force ever since the birth of the town," and so kept the honest
landholders unsettled and alarmed that they, Williams said, " lived in
no order but rout, as Harris beasts, as he calls all who cross him." "
CHAPTER IV.
Gorton's arrival in Providence — Arnold's complaint — Gorton retires from Provi-
dence to land in Papaquinapaug — The Arnold Pawtuxet claimants forge papers
to further extend their land claims — They become subjects of Massachusetts
to obtain for the enforcement of their claims that government's assistance —
The Massachusetts government commissions Benedict Arnold to obtain from
Miantinomi his submission and cession ov the Narragansett lands to them —
Miantinomi sells Occupesuatuxet to Greene — Providence notified by the Massa-
chusetts government of their jurisdiction over them and cited to trial at
Boston — Gorton replies to Massachusetts' notice to Providence — Gorton buys
Shawomet, or Warwick — Its settlement, government and town orders.
The people of Providence had for about three years been engaged in
their land disturbances when Gorton arrived there. He, after settling
there, did not have any personal difficulties with anyone. One of the
men who gladly hailed his arrival there was John Greene, surgeon,
whose experience with the Massachusetts magistrates we have related.
The settling down of Gorton and his island friends, Holden, Shotten,
Potter and Wickes, at Providence would be an ally to Williams' party
there, whom, Arnold said, were already " so many ; " and would
strengthen the resistance to the pretensions of the Pawtuxet claimants ;
and Arnold, who with his friends had secured the positions of town
managers, opposed their reception to the town privileges, to either hold
land or vote. A meeting of the five town managers was held on May
25, 1641, in which the subject of admitting Gorton and his friends
to the town was considered, some of the managers addressing the meet-
ing in Gorton's favor. These addresses were not preserved, and we are
again compelled to gather from his enemies' accounts. Arnold addressed
the meeting, expressing his dissent from what those favorable to

Gorton had said, and asked : " What may we expect if he could get him-
self in with and amongst us, where are so many, as we see, ready to
tread us under their feet, whom he calls his friends?"
To be freed from these embarrassments and to avoid the contentions
the people of Providence were engaged in, Gorton and a number of
those who were attached to him, Holden, Carder, Shotten, Potter and
Wickes from Portsmouth, and Warner and Power of Providence,
quietly retired from the early settled portion of Providence and pur-
chased a claim of Robert Cole, one of the Pawtuxans, to a parcel of
land upon Papaquinapaug river, a small stream issuing from Masha-
paug pond, flowing through what is now Roger Williams Park into
Pawtuxet river. Here at Papaquinapaug, outside of but adjoining the
early settlement, they resided during the fall and winter of 1641 and
summer of 1642, built houses and bestowed their labors to raise up
means to maintain their wives and little ones.*
A few months after this the town managers appointed arbitrators for
Francis Weston of Providence, one of Williams' twelve, who, witn John
Greene and others of Williams' twelve, did not agree to the Pawtuxans*
methods in an action by the Pawtuxan settlers for trespass upon their
claimed land, who rendered a judgment against him for fifteen pounds
and proceeded to levy by execution upon his cattle. Greene questioned
the fairness of the proceedings, and joined with Weston, who, with
perhaps six or seven others of Williams' company, aided to resist;
whereupon a complaint was, on November 17th, 1641, drawn up by
Benedict Arnold to the Massachusetts court against John Greene and
others, including Samuel Gorton, who had championed their cause and
was the most able advocate of their rights among them. Arnold's com-
plaint stated that it was sought by Pawtuxet men to attach on Francis
Weston's cattle and impound them, when the cry was raised, " Help,
sir, help," and " they hurried away the cattle," and " so they do at any
time if any of theirs is attached." It closed by asking aid " to bring
wrongdoers to satisfaction." This complaint and petition was written
by Benedict Arnold and signed by himself and but the Pawtuxan claim-
ants William Harris, William Arnold and son-in-law William Carpenter,
of thoee who had been of Williams' company, in all by twelve men,
Arnold's company. It was not " a petition of the people of Providence,"
as it was falsely headed. It was unofficial and unknown at the time to
the people of Providence, and it represented nobody but the petitioners.'
The Massachusetts magistrates, however, in reply advised them to
" submit themselves to some jurisdiction," " then we had a calling to
protect them." '
In the August 1642 sessions of the Massachusetts Court, Benedict
Arnold was engaged with their other officers to visit Miantinomi, the
Chief Sachem of the Narragansetts, to compel his attendance at Boston
to induce him to deny the sale he had made of the land to Williams,
to submit himself and tribe with their lands to Massachusetts or to show
what right he had to his lands and dominion.* He appeared at their

chase by Gorton of one of their claims should have secured relief from them.

court, but, true to his friends of the Providence Plantations, he would not
deny his sales, defended his rights and refused to submit anything to
Massachusetts ; whereupon the court forbade him to sell land without its
permission and ordered the disarmment of his people.
The Pawtuxans extended their claims; the Sachems now complained;
they had occupied and built upon land for which no right had been pur-
chased.* The new town grant, it will be remembered, was all the land in
the original Indian grant to Williams which lay west of the Providence
settlement. That is all the land west of a line running north and south
which the claimants desired to establish, which could appear to have been
in the original. With this in view the claimants had obtained the
original deed of Williams and added to it a memorandum which, pretend-
ing it was done from Williams request by the Sachems, interpreted the
stated bounds upon the streams to mean all the land bounding upon the
stream in its whole length and upon all its branches. The signatures of
Miantinomi and Williams which were appended to this memorandum
were forgeries. Williams says regarding it: "After Miantinomi had
sat our bounds in his own person, because of the envious clamor of some
against myself, one amongst us, not I, recorded a testimony or memo-
randum of a courtesy, added, upon request, by the Sachems, in these
words, * up streams without limits ; ' so far all the meadows and at last
all the uplands must be drawn into this accidental courtesy, and yet upon
no consideration given, nor the Sachems knowledge, or hand or witness;
nor date." The date of 1639 was after this forged to it.'
On September 8th following, the Pawtuxet claimants, William Arnold,
Benedict Arnold, Robert Cole and William Carpenter, but, excepting in
this instance William Harris, four in number, undeterred by the greatest
indignation expressed and the strongest opposing efforts made by Wil-
liams, Throckmorton, Greene, Wickes, Waterman, Holliman, Gorton,
Holden, Brown, and nearly all the other land holding, reliable people
in Providence or Williams government, and regardless of the great
v/rong they were inflicting on the whole people, treasonably violated
their pledge to the compact of government they had subscribed to with
Williams, and submitted their person and lands to the jurisdiction of the
Massachusetts colony. They were accepted by Massachusetts " as the
place," Providence, over which Massachusetts now, by virtue of the sub-
mission of these four men, assumed jurisdiction or government, " was
like to be of use to them if they had occasion to go out against the
natives. It gave an opening into Narragansett Bay." And the new sub-
jects were at once commissioned as officers to preserve order and exe-
cute the warrants of the Massachusetts courts in their newly claimed
dominion Providence.'
The claim of Massachusetts to jurisdiction over Providence, based on
the submission of William and Benedict Arnold and Cole and Car-
penter, these four people, is surprising. " What would Massachusetts
have said if the English government had treated Morton and RadcliflF as
competent to surrender the political rights of the Massachusetts
colony?"' The manifest injustice of the means resorted to by the ene-
mies of Williams and Gorton confirm the suspicion that in their professed
desire to establish an orderly government they were not honest nor the
claims they set up just. Robert Cole, now by this, one of the Massachu-
setts peace officers in Providence, had shortly before, when at Roxbury

in their colony, been disfranchised by them for drunkenness and sen-
tanced to wear a D of red cloth, continuously displayed for a year, upon
his outward garment. '"' Even the astute magistrates in Boston must
have smiled to see Robert Cole in the attitude of plaintiff and asking
their intercession for the establishment of an orderly and quiet govern-
ment.*
" The people of Providence had made great sacrifices in providing a
refuge for soul liberty and were strongly opposed to this proceeding of a
small minority of their number, yet the Bay colony did not regard the
wrongfulness of the request profered to it. It was desirous of breaking
up the refuge of heresy by the " fresh river of Mooshasuck and Wanas-
quatucket, and also an opening to its own citizens a passage to the Naf-
rangansett Bay." The conduct of the Massachusetts colony in extend-
ing its laws beyond its chartered limits and into the midst of an inde-
pendent colony was rightly regarded by Gorton and his friends as a
flagrant act of usurpation." " The operations under the acts of the
Arnolds and their partners and Massachusetts, so dangerous and damag-
ing to the peace and prosperity of the Narragansetts Bay inhabitants,
lasted sixteen years.' Harris did not attach himself with the others of
the party to Massachusetts, yet he more than the others appears the
genius of the claims and of the methods of " rout " which were pursued
so fiercely.
When the settlers at Papaquinapaug began to make improvements
upon their purchase and on the outlying wild land there, Arnold and his
Pawtuxet partners appeared with claims for trespass against them.
Gorton said: "These pretended subjects of Massachusetts thus far
fetched, had learned this device, that whereas some of us had small par-
cels of land laid out to build houses upon and plant corn, and all the rest
lay commons and undivided, as the custom of the country for most part
is, they would permit us no more land to build upon or to feed our cattle,
unless we would keep upon that which they confess to be our proper
right ; and they would of no division but by foot or by the inch, and that
we could neither have room to set a house but part of it would stand on
their land,* nor put a cow to grass but immediately her bounds were
broken; and then presently must the one be pulled down and the other
put in pound to make satisfaction, or until satisfaction be made for both.
So by this unreasonable and palpable slight of their pretended subjects,
together with the power of their so irregular a government, we plainly
perceived a snare was laid to entrap us again ; not only to hinder to pro-
vide for our families, but to bereave us again of what God through our
labors and industries had raised up unto us as means to maintain our
families." ^
The hostility of the Pautuxet partners in not less degree was displayed
toward Greene and others at Providence, who yet remained there and
contended for their rights there. Unable longer to endure the annoy-
ance of the Pawtuxet partners and to avoid further contentions at Prov-
idence, Greene and a number of those who were attached to him con-
cluded upon a removal. On October ist, 1642, Miantinomi sold to John
Greene the lands south of the Providence and Pawtuxet grant of Wil-
liams; separated from it by the Pawtuxet river, known as Occupesua-
tuxet, with adjoining meadows and a small island; the deed being signed
also by Socononico, the local Sachem.*

PROVIDENCE AND RHODE ISLAND PLANTATIONS. 41
The Massachuesetts Court, on October 28th following, agitated by the
Narragansett chiefs' disregard of their orders by the recent further sale
of land to the heretics, and acting by virtue of the claim of jurisdiction
acquired through the submission of the Arnolds, sent by the hand of one
of them, their newly made officers, a notice directed to " Our Neighbors
of Providence," asserting their sovereignty over them and citing them
to trial for complaints to the court at Boston; with the warning if you
shall proceed to any violence you must not blame us if we shall take like
course to right them."
The reply to this notice, although the notice was directed particularly
to Providence, but to Greene and all the land-holding settlers who re-
sisted the Pawtuxans and Massachusetts pretensions, was believed to
have been written by Gorton, although signed also by Greene, and in all
by twelve men, the backbone of Williams' government, living in Provi-
dence and its outlying places."
"Now brought face to face, as it were, with the arbitrary power in the
Bay, these loyal men, true to their allegiance to the crown of England,
desiring above all things that which the Massachusetts objected that they
had not, authority from the crown as Massachusetts had to set up a
government and thereby to enjoy the liberties and the laws of England,
were brought face to face with a power in the Bay which had repudiated
all the laws of England, all the constitutional safeguards of civil liberty,
which had denied their allegiance to the King, by virtue of whose
charter they were enabled to rule within the limits defined therein, and
were governed by no laws for many years save what existed in the
heart of the magistrate.
These earnest loyal men now had simply to choose between civil lib-
erty and bowing down to this arbitrary power and going into their courts
to be tried and judged and it might be punished. With true English hearts
they chose the first at once. They claimed that the laws of England were
theirs and that English liberty was theirs ; that they came from the mother
country to these shores clothed with them; that it was their birthright;
and they had an abiding confidence that the government at home would
in the end vindicate those rights and liberties of theirs, they trusted in
God and their allegiance and answered." ' [Given with Judge Brayton's
remarks.]
" We lately received an irregular note subscribed to by four men of
the chief among you. We could not give credit to the truth thereof,
because we thought that men of your parts and professions would never
have prostituted their wisdom to such an act, that is, to assume a juris-
diction beyond their charter limits.
"Whereas you say Robert Cole and William Arnold and others have
put themselves under the government and protection of your jurisdiction,
which is the occasion you have now got to contend with us; we wish
your words were verified, and that they were not elsewhere to be found,
that is, out of your jurisdiction.
" We know neither the one nor the other have power to enlarge the
bounds by King Charles limited unto you.

with them as you affirm], we know beforehand how our cause will be

have laid our cause therein; and can but admire to see you carried so
contrary to your received principles.
" Further we know that the chief among you have professed that we
are not v/orthy to live and, if some of us were amongst you we should
hardly see the place of our abode any more.
" When we have to do in your jurisdiction, we know what it is to sub-
mit to the wise disposition of our God. When you have to do amongst us
in the liberties he hath given us, we doubt not but you shall find Him
judge amongst us, beyond any cause or thing you can propose unto us;
and let that suffice you, and know that you cannot maintain a jurisdic-
tion, but you must reject all inroads into other men's privileges, and so
do we.
"We profess right unto all men, and do no violence at all, as your
rescripts threaten to do us; for we have learned how to discipline our
children or servants without offering violence unto them; even do we
know how to deal with our deboist, and, yea, inhuman neighbor, or [if
you will] nabals, without doing any violence, but rather rendering unto
them that which is their due.
" Nor shall we be forward to come so far to find you work upon your
request, till we known that you bear another mind than others of your
neighbors do with whom we have had to do in this country, whose pre-
tended laws we have stooped under to the robbing and spoiling of our
goods, the livehood of our wives and children, thinking they had labored,
though groping in gross darkness, to bring forth the truth in the right
and equity of things, or being such as have denied in the public courts
that the laws of our native country should be named amongst them ; yea,
nasty and insufferable places of imprisonment for speaking in the lan-
guage of them.
" Yea, they have endeavored, and that in public expressions, that a
man accused by them should not have liberty to answer for himself in
open court, as in Plymouth.
" But the God of vengeance unto whom our cause is referred, never
having our protector and judge to seek, will show himself in our deliver-
ance out of the hands of you all."
[They might be excused for being a little prophetic]
" We resolve, therefore, to follow our employment and to carry and
behave ourselves, as formerly we have done, and not otherwise, for we
have wronged no man, unless with hard labor, to provide for our families
and suffering idle and idle drones to take our labors out of the mouth
and from the backs of our little ones, to lordane it over us."
[And a little more prophecy. They may be excused for a little more
prophecy.]
" We will not be dealt with as before we speak ; in the name of our
God we will not ; for if any shall disturb as above, secret hypocrites shall
become open tyrants and their laws appear to be nothing else but mere
lusts in the eyes of all the world."
A^nd they conclude:
" Countrymen, [we can but call you so,] though we find your carriage
to be far worse than these Indians."
They seem to have understood the character of their adversaries better
than their enemies themselves seemed to. We shall afterwards find that
the civil injuries, and only such which they then desired to redress, were
not inquired about, nor redress attempted.
Having sent this letter to the General Court, then in session, with in-

tent that the country might be informed of what the court and magis-
trates were doing, Gorton says : " Wethought it meet for the possession
of our peace, together with the compassion we had for our wives and
little ones, to leave the houses and the rest of our labors lying near unto
these [Arnolds, Cole and Carpenter] their pretended subjects and re-
move to territory where there could be no claim thereto or pretense to
any."*
Gorton had been advised to go far from Providence by John Warner,
who had returned from Boston and reported the threatenings he heard
there against him. And by William Collins, a scholarly young minister,
formerly of Gloucester, England, recently from Hartford, Ct., now of
Portsmouth Aquidneck, — son-in-law of Mrs. Hutchinson, who with
Francis Hutchinson had been cast into prison at Boston and kept many
months in durance. He upon his release and on his return to Ports-
mouth stopped to visit Gorton and urged him to go with him and the
party of Mrs. Hutchinson to the Swedes or Dutch settlement, for, he
said, " upon his knowledge the Mass. intended in a short time to take his
life if he abode in any of the English plantations." But Gorton refused
to go under the government of any foreign Prince, " as he had neither
been false to his King nor country nor to his conscience."" He, with a
few of his friends, took up their abode at Shawomet, within the Narra-
gansett territory, but beyond the Pawtuxet river and beyond where any
English settlement had been made.
Shawomet, or Warwick.
The original settlement of Shawomet was made in December, 1642,
by Gorton and five or six others of his partners in its purchase.' The
whole number of purchasers were Samuel Gorton, Randall Holden, John
Wickes, Richard Carder, Sampson Shotten, Robert Potter, John Warner,
John Greene, Francis Weston, Richard Waterman, William Woodale,
whose names are inserted in the conveyance, and Nicholas Powers, un-
derstood to have been and who shared as a purchaser with them — twelve
in all ; but some of them never resided there. Within two months after
the settlement, on January 12th, they received from Cannonicus and
Miantinomi and the subordinate Sachems a proper deed for the land."*
They formed themselves into an association for civil government by arbi-
tration, like that at Providence, and made rules which they agreed to
observe and by which their proceedings were to be governed. They
chose from among themselves for such government the regular or accus-
tomed officers. The receipts from the sale of lots were to be paid to the
Treasurer; and by John Warner, whom they made Secretary, their rec-
ords were to be kept.
The following early items were recorded by Warner, the handwriting
corresponding with his later signature and writings:

sell strong liquor or rock to the Indians for to drink in their houses, and
if it be proved he that so breaks this order shall pay to the Treasurer
five shillings for each offense." Subsequently, after the organization of
the government under the charter, this last order was strengthened by
the addition of wine to the prohibited liquors.'
Their tov/n records were more than ordinarily neatly kept; much of
them written in good stenography.
Writers have idly commented on the absence at Providence and Shaw-
omet of a judiciary and wondered how at the latter place they would
have determined cases of resistance to their rule. The six men first above
named as of the purchasers of Shawomet were all who first settled there.^
The others of the purchasers, who were most of them early Providence
men, remained at Providence and Occupasnetuxet intent if they had to
leave upon harvesting their fields before leaving. John Warner did not
move his family to Shawomet until when six months after the first
settlement Massachusetts commissioners and soldiers were ordered to
Providence to treat with him. Some of the purchasers of Shawo-
met never became residents there. There was no selfish strife among
the scarcely more than half dozen men there,* and what need had
a few for a "judiciary" during the few months, less than a year,
there, in which short time they had by daily hard labor cleared
some forest and hardly finished erecting but four little dwellings,
v/hen they were carried off to Boston ; none of them permitted to live
there again until long after a government awaited them under a charter.
A true and complimentary description of the Shawomet settlers was
given by William Harris, whom Williams quotes in denouncing " his
monstrous Diana up streams without limit, so that he might antedate
and prevent as he speaks, the blades, brisk, mettlesome, sharp, keen,
active young men of Warwick."*

CHAPTER V.
Williams departs from Providence for England to secure a charter — The
Colonies' League — Massachusetts government orders their Captain-General
to put the colony on a war basis — Their troops to move under the leadership
of William Arnold against Greene and others at Providence, Pawtuxet and
Occupesuatuxet to capture and bring them to Boston for trial — Miantinomi
again brought by Arnold to the court at Boston, and again refuses them sub-
mission or cession of his lands ; refuses to deny the sale of his lands to his
friends — Two of Miantinomi's subjects seduced to submission to Massachu-
setts— Shawomet settlers notified by the Massachusetts government of their
jurisdiction over them and summoned to Boston for trial — Gorton's reply to
the Massachusetts notice to Shawomet — Occupesuatuxet and Shawomet settlers
notified by Massachusetts of their intended military advance upon them —
Providence invaded by the Massachusetts troops — The settlers of Occupes-
uatuxet flee to Shawomet — Shawomet besieged by Massachusetts soldiers —
Massachusetts troops send to Boston for reinforcements — Captives sent to Bos-
ton— Benedict and William Arnold commissioned by Massachusetts to seize
those who escaped — The captives', Gorton and others, imprisonment in Massa-
chusetts— Their release and banishment by the Massachusetts court from
Massachusetts, from Providence and from their own Shawomet lands — They
arrive upon the island — Island Aquidneck's name changed to Rhode Island.
Massachusetts in her assumed authority over the unchartered settle-
ments denided their right of government; declaring that "the govern-
ment at home would not endure a plantation without a patent."
The unchartered government of Providence was, in the absence of the
King's authorization, insufficient in either law or unity to command the
obedience of their subjects, had they been numerically strong enough, to
resist the encroachments of the chartered governments. Gorton had
urged these reasons for the need of a charter for the Narragansett Bay
settlements.
After Massachusetts had, by virtue of the Arnolds' submission, as-
serted her claim to Providence, including the far-reaching Pawtuxet, it
became evident to others of the settlers that their independence, their
only guarantee of any rights with religious freedom, could not be longer
maintained without a charter. Williams, Clark and others of the liberal
party who had now come to acknowledge Gorton's theory of security
and stable government, joined in petitioning the English government for
a charter for government,' and chose Williams for the responsible posi-
tion, which he accepted, of proceeding without longer delay to England
to secure one. Williams says : " Upon the frequent exception taken by
Massachusetts that we had no authority for civil government, I went pur-
posely to England to secure one." *
When, in February, 1642-3, Williams sat out on his mission "to seek
this favor and protection from the mother country," he was not allowed
to enter or leave Boston, Mass., so he proceeded to New York, then
Manhattan. While enroute he witnessed the Indian assaults upon the
Dutch settlements at New Haven and upon Long Island, in which were
massacred many of those who had been driven from the island of Aquid-
neck by the rule of Coddington. Not until June did a ship for an Eng-
lish port sail from Manhattan, and on this he secured passage.' Cod-
dington's government had the September previous appointed a com-
mittee to secure them a patent for the island.* Massachusetts already
had Agents Peters and Weld in England making strenuous efforts to
and others" relates that the petitioners did in 1643 secure a charter.

secure them a patent for the Narragansett territory, including Provi-
dence, Shawomet and the island, and Williams' departure was just in
time to prevent it being patented to others."
After Williams' departure from Providence, and before he set sail
from Manhattan, the colonies of Massachusetts, New Haven and Con-
necticut concluded an alliance in what was termed a United ofifensive and
defensive league against heretics and the Indian tribes who had not sub-
mitted to their governments. The colony of Plymouth was not repre-
sented, but was whipped in at the October sessions. The Providence or
Narragansett Bay colonies, being made up largely of heretics and refu-
gees from the other colonies of New England whom the league essayed
to suppress, were not invited to join in it." They later repeatedly ap-
plied for admission in the hope of securing peace and relief from oppres-
sion,' but it was refused them principally upon the ground alleged, that
they had no charter and belonged to the other colonies." Military prepa-
rations were made by Massachusetts to subdue the heretical colonists to
their government before Williams* return. The initial military move-
ment was directed against John Greene and others of Providence and
Occupasuetuxet, who yet clung to their homes and were preparing to
make crops from their lands.^ On May loth, the Massachusetts Court
directed Captain General Cook, who was in chief command of the troops,
to put the colony upon a war basis,* ordered a company of soldiers sent
" to Providence," and appointed commissioners to go under the leader-
ship of their Commissioner, William Arnold, to treat with Greene and
with Warner and Waterman of Providence, who, with Waddle and Pow-
ers, continued to reside there. On May 20th, the Massachusetts Court
issued a Commission to William Arnold, Benedict Arnold, William Car-
penter, Richard Chasmore, Christopher Hanksworth and Stephen
Arnold, and to all and any of them, to apprehend the bodies of John
Greene and his son John, Richard Waterman and Nicholas Powers, and
to bring them to Boston, before the Governor or some other magistrate,
to be proceeded with according to justice; and if need and occasion be
they to take aid of any other English or Indians which are under the
jurisdiction of Massachusetts; and to seize all the cattle of the said John
Greene which cannot now be found as they might hereafter find' and
either send them to the Governor at Boston or to keep them safe till the
Governor send for them." ' This was eighteen months after Gorton left
Providence, six months after the time he left Papaquinepaug and moved
to Shawomet, more than four months before Massachusets asserted her
claim to Shav;omet, anyone there notified of any claim or anyone dis-
turbed who lived there.
The Massachusetts commissioners who had unsuccessfully urged the
chiefs of the Narragansett tribe to deny first the sale of Providence to
Williams and second the sale of Occupasuetuxet to Greene, now dili-
gently pressed the Narragansett Sachems" for the submission of the
tribe, the cession of their dominion to Massachusetts and to deny the
sale of Shawomet to Gorton. Miantinomi upon the urgent solicitation of
Weld, William Hibbins, John Winthrop, Jr., and Thomas Lichford went together
to England Aug. 3, 1641. Hibbins and Winthrop returned in Sep., 1642. Thomas

Commissioner Benedict Arnold and others, accompanied them again to
the court at Boston, but he would not engage with the court in any
negotiations. To all blandishments and inducements he was unyielding,
and even the threat made by Benedict that the sale of the land to Gorton
should cost Miantinomi his head failed to swerve the loyalty of this noble
chief from his friends. Far from yielding them a submission or acced-
ing to any of their wishes, he boldly acknowledged his sale of Occupasue-
tuxet and Shawomet and avowed his right to make them.' Thereupon
two of Miantinomi's subjects were employed by Arnold and the other
Massachusetts commissioners to effect their purpose. One of these,
Socononco, the local Sachem of the tract including Occupasuetuxet,
and the other, Ponham, the local Sachem of Shawomet. They were in-
duced by presents, the expectations of great gain and the hope of being
elevated to independent sachemdoms to say that they signed the deed of
sale of the land not voluntarily but from fear of Miantinomi. This state-
ment, although shown to be untrue, if true effected not the validity of the
sale, for they were subjects of Miantinomi, and according to all Indian
usage removed at their chief's pleasure. They, on June 22d, 1643, sub-
mitted themselves as subjects of Massachusetts. This gave the Massa-
chusetts Court a pretext for jurisdiction over Occupasuetuxet and Shaw-
omet similar to that which it made by virtue of the submission of the four
men before mentioned over Providence ; but it was far short of what
the Commissioners hoped to secure, — Miantinomi's submission and the
rightful cession he could have made to them of the broad range under his
dominion. The two Indians " came," Winthrop says, " to our govern-
ment by Benedict Arnold," who was " allotted four pounds for his pains
in procuring them,* and Arnold was granted permission to supply them
with powder and shot as he had occasion. They were the most degraded
and venial characters, ready tools at the service of any one who could
supply them with rum and tobacco.^ Neither Socononco nor Ponham
could wait until the victims would again abandon their land and houses ;
they had already entered their dwellings and had reasons not stated by
Winthrop " for wishing to be released from responsibility to the Shaw-
omet people. They were both thieves, and Ponham, having on one occa-
sion crep down a chimney and rifled a house in the absence of its
owner, was captured as he was attempting to escape by the same outlet.
Perhaps the Massachusetts magistrates were not insensible of the ridicule
thrown upon them. Ponham was afterwards shot by Massachusetts sol-
diers near Dedham. Hubbard says, "Among the rest of the captives at
that time was one of Ponham's sons, a very likely youth and one whose
countenance would have bespoken favor for him had he not belonged to
so barbarous and bloody Indian as his father."*
The next session of the Massachusetts Court was on the 7th of Sep-
tember, following the submission of the two Indians. The Commission-
ers of the United League met at the same time in Boston. The Indian
Sachems in the eastern portion of Long Island submitted themselves,
their tribes and lands to the colonies which v^^ere within the league, and
these tribes became to them a tributary people. The Massachusetts
commissioners reported their possession of Narragansett lands secured,
as they claimed, through the submission of the two forenamed Indians.

48 LIFE AND TIMES OF SAMUEL GORTON.
On the I2th of Sepptember the Massachusetts Court caused the settlers
of Shawomet to be informed through the before named subjected officers
of the submission of the two Indians and of the consequent Massachu-
setts jurisdiction over the Shawomet land and people, and summoned
Gorton, Wickes, Holden, Potter, Weston, Carder, Warner and Woodale,
who were now living at Shawomet, to appear at Boston to answer com-
plaints against them.
Seldom ever have men been so goaded beyond endurance and to the
verge of desperation as were these men. After they had for peace sake
abandoned their own houses and lands and gone to the forest outside the
claims of every one, v/here they now, in all but seven of them,^ not at-
tempting to enforce their religious opinions on any one, and having done
no man wrong, as shown at their trial at Boston later on, they prayed to
be left only with what was their own alone; followed here and sum-
moned to Boston.^
In reply to the Massachusetts notice " we told them," says Gorton,
" that we, being so far out of their jurisdiction, could not, neither would
v/e acknowledge subjection unto any in the place where we were, but only
the State of old England, who only had right unto us, and from whom we
doubted not, but in due season we should receive directions for the well
ordering of us in all respects; and in the meantime we lived peaceably
together, desiring and endeavoring to do wrong to no man, neither Eng-
lish nor Indian ; ending all our ditiliculties in a neighborly and loving way
of arbitration mutually chosen amongst us." *
On September 19th the Massachusetts court sent another notice, by the
hands of the subjected officers, to Providence and Shawomet, informing
them that they would shortly send Commissioners for satisfaction, with a
sufHcient guard for their safety agaist any violence or injury; if re-
ceived they would be left in peace, otherwise to right themselves by force
of arms. The military movements of the Massachusetts authorities
against Greene and others at Providence and Occupasuetuxet and Gor-
ton and others as Shawomet was directed by Benedict Arnold, who
gave notice to Massachusetts of the proceeding of these men to secure
themselves and reported that they were ready to meet the Massachusetts
forces." Almost immediately following the notice the Commissioners,
accompanied by a company of forty soldiers under command of Captain
Cook, Lieutenant Atherton and Edward Johnson, the latter the author of
" Sion's Savior in New England." were dispatched to Providence. Upon
the approach of the troops Greene and the others wanted by the Massa-
chusetts government, yet living at Providence and Occupasuetuxet, fled
to Shawomet. The soldiers marched through Providence, making sure
that none should escape, and on to Shawomet in pursuit of them. Thus
by their fleeing brethren while the people of Shawomet were in the field
at their employment the news of the approach of soldiers reached them.
The commissioners and soldiers came to a halt September 28, 1643 be-
fore Shawomet. A message was sent out to the commissioners, who
proved to be the officers of the company of soldiers, that if they would
come to treat in any way of equity and peace they would be welcome, but
not to set a foot upon Shawomet in a hostile way.
An answer was returned by the same messenger that they desired to
convince them of their error, to turn them from evil, but if there was no
way of turning them, then they should look upon them as men prepared
for slaughter, and proceed with convenient speed to its execution.
The return of this answer from the officers frightened the women and
encroached and began to build. 'Mass. Rec, ii, 41. R. I. Collec, ii, 93.

children^ who fled to the woods, to the Indians and to the other settle-
ments. The less than twelve men fortified themselves as best thev
could in one of the log houses." Gorton was the last to enter the citadel,
having delayed that he might help his wife to a place of safety.' Many
people of Providence, not of those pursued by the troops, who being
deeply affected with the proceedings, who had followed on to witness the
result and to aid their brethren, were prevented by threats and the ap-
parent hopelessness of success from assisting them. They, however, pre-
vailed upon Captain Cook and his officers to enter into a parley. At the
interview the Shawomet men inquired of the strangers the cause of their
coming, the latter alleged that the former had intruded upon the subjects
of Massachusetts, and that they held blasphemous errors which they
must repent of or go with them to the Bay to answer in the courts
respecting them.
The Shawomet men answered that they could not yield, that their ad-
versaries should be their judges, and, too, they being so far out of their
jurisdiction, but proposed to refer the matter to mutually chosen arbitra-
tors. This proposition so commended itself to those present that a truce
was agreed upon until word could be received from Massachusetts.
Meantime the soldiers broke open the Shawomet people's houses and
their desks and took away their writings,* quartered themselves upon
their cattle and drove away those who had come to see them.
Four of the Providence men, the excellent and venerable Chad Brown,
who now was first pastor of the Providence Church while Williams was
in England; Thomas Olney, William Field and William Wickenden, all
ministers, wrote on October 2d to the Governor of Massachusetts praying
him to accept the fair and reasonable propositions made to him; but Win-
throp in his reply declined acceding to the proposition.
The truce was terminated by the return of the messengers and an-
nounced by the discharge of guns and the seizure of all the cattle,
eighty head, which were turned over to William Arnold, and other
stock and property of the settlers, and a message "was sent to Gorton in-
forming him that the truce, which had been no truce, was ended." Gor-
ton and his men were no cowards. The intruders, four times their
number proceeded to establish themselves and open fire upon the settlers
and besieged them for many days; and until the approach of the Sab-
bath, when Gorton indulged in the hope that the sanctity of the day
would afford them a day of rest, but in this he and his friends. were dis-
appointed, for on the Sabbath morning fireworks were prepared with
the intention of burning the house, which had served as the settlers fort-
ress. The fire that was set to burn the house was extinguished. The
besieged, however, though they had arms during all this time, discharged
not a piece against them, being loth to spill the blood of their country-
men.
At length more soldiers were needed, and the intruders sent to Massa-
chusetts for aid, and the besieged, seeing that in the end they would have
to yield, sought once more a parley and consented to accompany the
officers or commissioners to Massachusetts ; provided they might go as
" free men and neighbors." The conditions were allowed and the troops
summoned to return home. The Captain, having been admitted into the
castle of the besieged, immediately, in violation of the articles of capitu-
lation, seized upon the arms of the settlers, gave them with ammunition
to the subjected Indians, used Gorton and those with him as captives

and marched them through the " Town Street " of Providence as if it
were their jurisdiction, on to Boston for trial. The men captured at
Shawomet were Samuel Gorton, Randall Holden, John Wickes, Richard
Carder, Sampson Shotten, Robert Potter, John Warner, WilUam Wad-
del and Francis Weston. Richard Waterman and Nicholas Power sur-
rendered themselves and appeared at the trial with the rest of them,'
but another warrant ,was issued to the before-named subjected officers
for the arrest of John Greene and John Greene, Jr., who had taken
refuge on the island of Conanicut and avoided being taken," with direc-
tions to bring them to Boston. The assent upon the people of Shawomet
was nine months from the time the first of them settled there.
At the trial no one complained of any injury or wrong, not a person
but the ministers and magistrates appeared against them.' Out of their
writings the magistrates framed twenty-six gross opinions. Upon Gor-
ton's denial of the constructions they had given his writings he was com-
manded by Dudley, upon penalty of irons, to be silent. Mr. Bradford
very courageously and at much risk to his interests * prevented further
questioning unless he was free to speak to them.*
The captured men were for their heretical opinions condemned as
blasphemous enemies of the Lord Jesus and were sentenced * and im-
prisoned, narrowly escaping the penalty of death by the refusal of the
people to concur in the judgment of the Elders. All of the magistrates
save three were of the opinion that Gorton ought to die, but the greater
part of the deputies,'* who were chosen by the people, dissented.' Gorton
was confined at Charleston and the others in other towns until March,
1644, the whole winter, and set at liberty then because the proceedings
had never the approval of the people, the masses, and it was dangerous
longer to keep them.'
The order for the release of the prisoners was passed by the General
Court on March 7th, but when it was presented to Gorton accompanied
by a smith to file off his fetters, he refused to part with them on the
conditions presented, and declared he would wait for " fairer terms of
release." " When the constable returned with the chief men of the
town, who ordered the irons to be removed by force, Gorton relaxed his
resolution and left the prison." This was on the thirteenth of March or
after. " Gorton and his friends were so kindly received in the various
houses in Boston that the jealousy of the Magistrates was aroused and
the Governor took upon himself the responsibility of issuing a warrant
commanding them to leave town within the space of two hours." They
were also forbidden to be longer than fourteen days in Massachusetts,
in or near Providence or any of the lands of Ponham or Socononco [their
own land] or elsewhere in our jurisdiction."'
With free consciences they set out for the island. " Was Captain Cook
a good captain?" asked some of them of an Indian chief at whose wig-
wam they were entertained on their journey. " I cannot tell," he
answered, "but Indians account of those as good captains where a few
stand out against many." They lodged the last night of their journey in
"Greenes of Warwick in Colonial Hist. 4. "' We never had accusation
brought against us but that arose from the magistrates and ministers, for we

their houses at Shawomet, where, perceiving that Shawomet was not
expressly named in the order of the court banishing them, they ad-
dressed a letter of inquiry from " the government of Shawomet " by
Wilham Warner, secretary to Governor Winthrop; he replying that it
was included in the territory forbidden them. They did not wait there
for the reply to their letter, for Gorton says they arrived on the island
within the limit of their banishment. Again, " about a week after,"
says Winthrop, " we sent men to fetch so many of their cattle as might
defray our charge, both of the soldiers and of the court which spent many
days about them and for their expenses in prison. It came in all to about
£160.'
The greatest injustice to Gorton was not in anything we have related,
but in the untruthful account of him circulated by Massachusetts writers,
not to justify the people of Massachusetts for they never did approve
of it, but to justify the Magistrates' and Elders' proceedings. Gorton
said, truthfully, that " they labored to give the country satisfaction by
rehearsing gross opinions of us, and interpretation of our writings
which we abhor. That we denied the holy ordinances of Christ because
we could not join with them in their way of administration. That we
denied all civil magistracy because we could not yield to their authority,
we being above twenty-four miles out of their bounds, which we should
not have questioned if we had been within them. Our humble respects
unto all such authority hath been made manifest to all men.'"
Through the history of these people and their struggles for life, liberty
and the possession of their homes yet forty-three troubled years before
allowed peaceable and permanent possession of them, " Shawomet has
become a name not only memorable but consecrated by the heroism,
the suffering and the Christian patience of Samuel Gorton and his com-
panions.'"

of the east. Cannonicus was its Chief, and no eastern tribe could
compare v/ith it either in extent of jurisdiction, number of warriors,
firmness and wisdom of government, or industry of its people. Its
Chief had full and undoubted jurisdiction over the inhabitants of a
tract of country extending from the Nimpuck country, which is now
Oxford, Mass., in the north, southerly to the ocean, including Manesses
(or Block Island) and a part of Long Island. It began on the east with
Seekonk river and the eastern shores of Narragansett Bay, and ex-
tended westward, including the islands, to the Pawcattuk river or
perhaps beyond it to the borders of the tribe which dwelt " in the trust
of Pequot river, now called the Thames, and was under the control of
the fierce and bloodthirsty enemy of the Narragansetts, Uncas, a chief
who had rebelled against Sassacus, the Pequot Sachem, and detached
from its allegiance a considerable portion of his nation, of which he
had formed a distinct tribe.
The general name of Narragansetts was applied to all the inhabitants
of this long tract of country ; but they were divided into several petty
tribes with each its under-sachem and local name; and this appellation,
in its original and restrictive sense, belonged only to that tribe which
dwelt on the southwestern shores of the bay. This was the chief tribe,
or the most distinguished of all the tribes of which the nation was
composed, and the Sachem or ruler of this tribe was consequently the
Grand Sachem, and his jurisdiction and government extended over
the entire country here described bounds of the nation.
More than this, the Wampanoags to the east were subject to them,
but their chief, Massasoit, formed an alliance with the Whites, gave
them a portion of the lands he had subjected to Cannonicus and Mian-
tinomi; and was reinstated at the head of an independent confederacy.
After the extermination [Sept., 1638] of the Pequot tribe, a treaty
\vas arranged by the Whites between Miantinomi, nephew of Cannonicus
and now active Chief of the Narragansetts, and Uncas, the treacherous
Chief of the Mohegans, agreeing to an oblivion of the past, and that
new complaints should be submitted to the Whites for arbitration.
The treaty was not kept inviolate. Uncas established himself in
the popularity of the Whites at Boston and grew more insolent to his
Narragansett brethren. He threw out menaces, uttered the names of
their honored dead and jeered at their memory. For a succession of
injuries done to his friends and kindred, Miantinomi complained first
to Connecticut and was told that they did not coimtenance or justify
the wrongs. He then complained to Massachusetts and was told that
if Uncas had done him or his friends wrong and would give no satis-
faction, he was at liberty to take his own course. He had thus fulfilled
the obligations of the treaty to the letter. The arbitrators had declined
acting and he went about to redress his wrongs in his own way.
The two armies approached each other over a place since called
Sachems' Plain; and here Uncas proceeded to carry into effect a
stratagem.
Before the battle commenced, he stepped from his ranks and desired
a parley [the two armies thereupon halting within bowshot of one
another], and suggested that "stout men fight it out" in a personal
battle. This refusal was what Uncas had anticipated, and the moment
it was uttered he fell flat on the ground and his men discharged^ their
arrows over him upon the tmsuspecting Narragansetts. They yielded
to the shock, broke and fled. They were pursued, many falling beneath
the stroke of tomahawk and war club. Among the slain were two sons

of Cannonicus and a brother of Miantinomi. In the heat of the pursuit
the Mohegans were arrested by the shout of Uncas, announcing the
capture, the fall of Miantinomi."
Miantinomi had been the friend of Williams and Gorton in their
distress. When Gorton and his persecuted followers removed to Shawo-
met, the kind and generous Chieftain received them and their families
with generous hospitality and granted them land upon which to dwell
among them, and he was not in the day of his tribulation forgotten.
The right of Miantinomi to grant this land Massachusetts denied,
and after having seduced his under-sachems to renounce his authority
the Magistrates of Massachusetts summoned the independent chief
himself to appear before them, as judges in their own cause, to show
by what right he had made the grant and how he claimed jurisdiction
over his own subjects.
' It was during the heat of the proceedings of the Boston Commissioners
against Gorton and his friends that Gorton learned that Miantinomi
,had become the captive of Uncas, the favorite and protege of Massa-
chusetts. He immediately interposed, requiring Uncas to release his
prisoner, and threatening him with vengeance if he refused. The
shrewd Mohegan thereupon surrendered his prisoner, but to the public
authorities at Hartford. To the latter, neither Gorton's efforts or
Miantinomi's earnest plea that he be delivered to his Shawomet and
Providence friends were availing.^ The authorities at Hartford retained
him, even after the payment by the Narragansetts to Uncas of a large
ransom,* a prisoner until the Commissioners met at Boston in Septem-
ber," when they sought the advice of the Elders, who upon the pretense
that he, in what he had done, had not consulted them according to the
treaty or agreement — the evident ground for the decision, however,
being that all their efforts had proven that he could not be seduced from
his allegiance to Gorton and Williams and made to renounce his deeds
of land to them, and submit himself and his dominion to the government
of Massachusetts — gave their opinion that he deserved to die.^ The
Commissioners thereupon returned him to Uncas, commanded Uncas
to put him to death, and engaged to save him harmless of the conse-
quences.' He was killed while the troops were besieging Gorton and
his party in the block building. Winthrop sent a letter to Cannonicus
justifying the execution, and, " that the Indians might know that the
English did approve it, sent twelve or fourteen muskateers to abide
awhile " with Uncas for his protection.*
Upon the receipt of the news of the death of Miantinomi, " one
universal wail of grief passed through all Narragansett." Loud lamen-
tations, day and night, burst from groups of women and children and
aged men, whilst the warriors blackened their faces, sharpened their
hatchets and muttered dreadful imprecations.
" The chief and most aged peaceable father of the country, Cannoni-
cus, having buried his sons, he burned his own palace and all his goods
in it [among them to a great value] in a solemn remembrance and in a
kind of humble expiation to the Gods."" And Pessacus, one of the
successors and the brother of Miantinomi, sent messengers to the
Governor of Massachusetts, informing him of his determination to
avenge the death of their Sachem.

The sturdy resistance of Gorton to the injustice of the Massachusetts
authorities/" his restoration to freedom, the plea he had made for Mian-
tinomi, and his ever kindly interest in the welfare of the red people
gave him the highest favor any man had attained to among them ; and
the Sachems, immediately upon Gorton's freedom and arrival upon the
island, sent messengers to him, to recount to him their wrongs, to express
their sympathy and love for him and their surprise and joy at his release.
When they returned he accompanied them. The Sachems, seeing the
approach of the vessel, sent a band of lusty men who met him and
conducted him to the old Sachem Cannonicus, multitudes of Indians
coming forth joyfully to meet him. Directly upon Gorton's arrival
among them, on April 19th, a General Assembly of the Narragansett
Nation was called by their Chiefs for the public manifestation of the
sense of the wrong done them and for the adoption of measures to right
them. An accusation, plainly false, was made by the Massachusetts
Magistrates against the planters of encouraging the Narragansetts to
war. The Narragansetts, at this time a powerful tribe, needed no
encouragement to leap in avenging warfare ; they ached for it. Only
Gorton's influence with them and their heed to his persuasion that they
refrain from violence and await the better righting of their wrongs
by the English government, which all felt sure would be done, restrained
them from the slaughter of many Massachusetts settlers. An Act of
Submission, which the Massachusetts Commissioner had been unable
to obtain from them, was procured from them by Gorton. Williams
had not yet returned with the charter, and so from necessity, as well
as propriety, the submission was taken to the parent government. A
formal act, setting forth their reasons therefor, submitting themselves
and granting their entire dominion to the government of the King, was
drawn up by Gorton, and it was subscribed to by Pessicus, Chief
Sachem, brother and successor of the late Miantinomi, and Cannonicus
and his son Mixan.' The article vv'as also a peace treaty in which they,
yielding to Gorton's advice, agreed not to war for revenge, but to
submit their wrongs and their redress to the justice of Great Britain;
and although civil war in England prevented that government from
protecting them in their rights or redressing their grievances and the
killing of Miantinomi went unavenged, the Narragansetts, out of regard
for Gorton and Williams, never violated this agreement, even after
they had despaired of relief from England. They remained neutral
in war until forced from it by the other colonies assaulting them.''
At the time of Gorton and his company's release " the triumph of
Massachusetts seemed complete; yet within forty days this despised
handful of men, by a master stroke, snatched victory from defeat."
With matchless statesmanship they induced the Narragansett Indians
to cede the coveted Narragansett territory to the King, and thus raised
a perpetual bulwark against a final conquest of Rhode Island and
Providence Plantations by Massachusetts Bay.'

together with the joint and unanimous consent of all our people, bend-
ing their hearts with one consent, freely and voluntarily give ourselves,
peoples, lands, rights, inheritances, and possessions in themselves and
their heirs successively forever, unto the government of Prince Charles,
King of Great Britain, forever, to be governed according to the ancient
laws established in the realm and kingdom of England, as loving and
obedient subjects of his Majesty; to be ruled according to his princely
wisdom, council and laws of that honorable State of old England, upon
conditions of His Majesty's royal protection and righting us of wkat
wrong is or may be done unto us. To have our causes heard and tried
according to his just and equal laws. Nor can we yield ourselves unto
any that are subjects themselves in any cause; having ourselves been
the Chief Sachems or Princes successively of the country time out of
mind. And for our present and lawful enacting hereof, being so far
remote from His Majesty, we have by joint consent made choice of
four of his loyal and loving subjects, our trusty and well beloved friends,
Samuel Gorton, John Wickes, Randall Holden, and John Greene,
whom we have deputied and made our lawful Attorneys and Com-
missioners, not only for the acting and performing of this our deed,
but also for the safe custody, careful conveyance and declaration
hereof unto his grace."
The Chief Sachems having been sent for by Massachusetts to make
their appearance at Boston and answer for what they had done to the
General Court then approaching, replied, on May 24th, in a letter con-
taining the following:
We understand you desire that we should come to Massachusetts
at the time of your Court now approaching. Our occasions at this same
time are very great, and the more because of the loss in that manner
of our late deceased brother, upon which occasion, if we should not
stir ourselves to give testimony of our faithfulness unto the cause of
that, our so unjust deprivation of such an instrument as he was amongst
us for our common good, we should fear his blood would lie upon us;
so we desire your reasons why you seem to advise us not to go out
against our so inhuman and cruel adversary, who took so great a
ransom to release him and his life also. Our brother was willing to
stir much abroad to converse with men, and we see a sad event there-
upon. Take it not ill therefore, though we resolve to, keep at home, and
so at this time do not repair unto you according to your request ; and the
rather because we have subjected ourselves, our lands and possessions,
with all the rights and inheritances of us and our people, either by
conquest, voluntary subjection or otherwise, unto that famous and
honorable government of that royal kingdom of King Charles, and that
State of old England, to be ordered and governed according to the laws
and customs thereof; not doubting of the continuance of that former
love that hath been betwixt you and us. but rather to have it increase;
hereby being subject now (and that with joint and voluntary consent')
unto the same King and State yourselves are; so that if any small
thing of difference shall fall out betwixt us, only the sending of a
messenger may bring it to right again; but if any great matter should
fall (which we hope and desire will not nor may not), then neither
yourselves nor we are to be judges ; and both of us are to have recourse
and repair unto that honorable and just government.*
On June 20th a General Court of the Commissioners put in trust
for the publication of the Act of Submission was held, and a letter was
*R. I. Rec, i, 134. 'R. I. Rec, i, 136. «R. I. Rec, i, 138. This

prepared by them and copies subscribed to by their Secretary, sent
to both the Massachusetts Court and that of the United Colonies then
assembled [there being, Gorton says, fear and jealousies raised up in
their minds that the Narragansetts would harm them], informing them
of the voluntary performance of their act of the cession of their lands
and of their agreement to abide a peaceable settlement of all difficulties
between them, the latter thus concluding: That so not ourselves only,
who are eye and ear witnesses hereof, but you also, may follow our
occasions and employments without any extraordinary care or fear of
the people aforesaid. But if either you or we find anything among
them too grevious to be borne, they not making any violent assault upon
us, we know whither and to whom we are to repair and have recourse
for redress, as we bend our allegiance and subjection unto our King
and State, unto which they are become fellow-subjects with ourselves;
and therefore of necessity His Majesty's princely care must reach unto
them."
Upon the receipt of this at Boston, messengers were again dispatched
to the Sachems to persuade them to repudiate the transaction and yet
submit to Massachusetts, and to dissuade them from taking counsel
from men, Winthrop says, "such as we had banished;'" but when the
messengers came to Cannonicus he would not admit them into his
wigwam and remained within, while the messengers stood for two
hours out in the rain.^ When he did admit them, he lay long on his
couch and would not speak to them more than a few forward speeches,
but referred them to Pessicus, who, coming after some four hours,
showed them into an ordinary wigwam and there had conference with
them the most part of the night.
The seizure of Shawomet and the new light Cannonicus " had gained
respecting the weakness of his neighbors did not move him to break
the faith which he had pledged to them. He might have done it with
impunity and with profit. The Boston theologians, who had found
reasons wherewith to satisfy the conscience of the Magistracy with the
death of Miantinomi, could have found equally good ones to justify
Cannonicus in the repudiation of the grants to misbelievers such as
Gorton and Williams; but against all hopes of favor or money the old
barbarian kept his word." The messengers were answered, Winthrop
says, " full to the question,'" and they returned, without accomplishing
anything, to Boston.
No measure could be more offensive to the Massachusetts Magistrates
than the cession act of the Narragansetts procured by Gorton, or could
more provoke their resentment, because it was their own intention and
practice to "acquire the subjection of the same territory.'"" They had
fruitlessly made every effort to obtain it. No act ever better sensed
the main purpose of its promoter than this. It was by the King and
his Commissioners held to be the original of all claims to the territory ;
cutting the knoj of the question pending between the disputants for it;
was declared by them to be the best of all claims, and therefore they
definitely allotted this territory to the government of the Williams'
charter, for which he who drew the act intended it."*
The whole Liberal party, and that comprised seven-eighths of the
was then the Enelish practice was virtually but a session of sovereignty, as
England acknowledged to the Narragansetts the use or disposition of the soil,
and assayed to protect them in their right to it. The Mass. Court vainly sought
the Narragansetts submission for their claimed double right of sovereignty and
the use or disposition of the soil to settlers. ''2d Winthrop, ii, 203.

people inhabiting Providence, Shawomet and Aquidneck Island, had
been alarmed and distressed by the proceedings of Massachusetts, and
were deeply in sympathy with Gorton and the others of the Shawomet
people. William Arnold, in a letter to Massachusetts,'' writes : " The
most part of the colony stand affected with them against Massachusetts'
dealings." Made shelterless in New England mid-winter, " only the
kindness of their friends saved their wives and children from utter
extermination."^ The large share of the inhabitants of Portsmouth
had been members with Gorton of the model civil government he v/ith
Hutchinson established there. Those who were driven away were
only the leading ones of Coddington's opponents. The larger part of
the Liberal party remained there. They were the popular and majority
party, and were emphatically law and order men, ardent advocates of
civil government and civil magistracy there, and were opposed to no
magistracy but that which was corrupt and that had illegally set itself
up. The restoration to the island of Gorton, their leader and so able
an advocate of their principles, was of " much strength '" to the cause
and was accordingly hailed with delight by the people. Although
Coddington at Newport claimed jurisdiction over the Portsmouth people,
and tried in his high court such of them as he could entrap in it,
Portsmouth men maintained their own courts, chose their own officers,
and for these all enjoyed the franchise privileges; and they, immediately
upon Gorton's arrival, chose him to the office of Judge or Magistrate
as an expression of their loyalty and affection.' In this office he was
continued for many years." Coddington did not hold his court in
Portsmouth.
Trusting that "in due season they would receive directions for their
well ordering " and the protection that would enable them to return
to their homes at Shawomet, the banished people, Gorton with them,
quietly settled down upon the island; they and the people of Portsmouth
eagerly awaiting the arrival of the charter.'
About two years previous to this,* Deacon Aspinwall of Portsmouth,
who was the only one of the first island settlers that Massachusetts
had banished, had returned to the church. " He made," says Winthrop,
" a very firee and full acknowledgement of his error and seducement,
and that with much detestation of his sin." Mr. Wheelright, who had
occasioned the separation and emigration of the company to the island,
eventually also tendered to the church his submission. The church
authority was well established in Coddington's court, so far as it could
exercise its authority. Though he " maintained " his court at Newport,
its work was at about an end, the business resting with the local Magis-
trates of the towns. He wrote to Governor Winthrop of Massachusetts
the following: "Gorton is here against my mind and shall not be
protected by me. A party here adhere to Gorton and his company in
both plantations and judge them so much strength to the place, but are
no friends to us and you."* As they remained on the island and did not
depart, as did the Hutchinsons and others, the correspondence was
continued between Massachusetts and those here now " members of
their church," to again deliver them into their hands, but the people

having notice thereof did akogether detest such a course; so they still
abode and followed their employment.'" Both Williams and Gorton
in their writings referring to Aquidneck called it Rhode Island. Dur-
ing this year the island was officially given this name.

Charles the First had left Whitehall, then the seat of the English
government, on January loth, 1642-3, before Williams left Providence,
and Parliament had, in November, 1643. constituted Commissioners
empowered to dispose of all things regarding the Plantations;' from
whom Williams, on the 14th of March, 1643-4, procured a charter for
the " Providence Plantations," '' bounding northward and northeast
on the patent of Massaclrusetts, and southeast on Plymouth patent, south
on the ocean, and on the west and northwest by the Indians called the
Narragansetts; the whole tract extending about twenty-five miles into
the Pequot river and country. And, whereas, divers well affected and
industrious English inhabitants of the towns of Providence, Ports-
mouth and Newport, in the tract aforesaid, have adventured to make
a near neighborhood and society with the great body of the Narragan-
setts; and have also purchased and are purchasing of the natives other
places which may he convenient for Plantations : and, whereas, the
English have represented their' desire to the Earl and Commissioners
to have their beginning approved and confirmed by granting unto them
a Free Charter of Civil Incorporation and Government, that they may
order and govern their Plantations in such a manner as to maintain quiet
and peace both among themselves and toward all men zvith zvhom they
shall have to do. In due consideration of said premises, the said Robert
Earl of Warwick, Govern«r-in-Chief and Lord High Admiral of the
said Plantations, and the greater number of the said Commissioners
whose names and seals are here underwritten and subjoined, do by the
aforesaid ordinance of the Lord and Commons give grant and confirm
*R. I. Rec, i, 143, 144. R. I. Collec, iv, 222. 'This territory and its

to the aforesaid inhabitants of the towns of Providence, Portsmouth
and Newport a free and absolute Charter of Incorporation, to be known
by the name of the Incorporation of Providence Plantations^ in the
Narragansett Bay; together with full power and authority to rule them-
selves and such others as shall hereafter inhabit within any part of the
said tract of land."^
The patent provided for prospective settlements, covering as was
intended and had been planned by these people, besides the lands where
settlements were established, any lands now granted or that should
hereafter be granted for settlement by the Indians to Gorton and his
friends, who were preparing to build dwellings when Williams departed.*
Williams upon his return was saved from the long route via Man-
hattan by a letter furnished him by Northumberland, Fernwick and
ten other Parliament peers and Commoners, commanding the Massa-
chusetts Magistrates to not molest him and to regard the charter; wdth
which letter and charter he, on September 17th, 1644, landed at Boston.
Upon Williams' arrival with the charter and shield to his planters
from the aggressions of the Massachusetts rulers, bitter censures were
poured out by the latter upon the heads of Peters and Weld, their
unsuccessful agents.** The delight of the settlers of the Providence
Plantations was great and expressed by public demonstrations. The
charter, says Gorton, " was joyfully received by the entire colony,'"
by those of Shawomet not the least, for it gave to all the plantations
the power of government that would, it was thought, protect them in
the peaceful possession of their lands and homes.
The Parliament Commissioners, after Williams' departure on August
19th, 1644, ia response to complaints which had been sent to them of
the invasion of the Plantations and the imprisonment of Gorton and
his companions, sent a letter of reproof to the Massachusetts authori-
ties, which letter probably as early as October reached them.' Yet the
Massachusetts Court, undismayed by all, on October 17th, 1644, sent
a letter forbidding any person intending to settle at Shawomet to do so,
and asserted their resolutions to maintain what they called their rights.'
" With all expedition," in October or November, 1644, at Portsmouth,
" a joint course was held for instructing the people into the power of
the charter and liberties thereof, for the exercise of the authority in the
execution of law for the good and quiet of the people." Representatives
from all the towns in the colony were present, and they formed an
organization of government under the charter, which included all the
government could not well have been named otherwise than Providence Planta-
tions, for Providence was the main settlement and there was not then such a
place as Rhode Island : This name was given by the Island Court to Aquidneck
Island on Mar. 13, 1643-4, after the last reading of Williams' charter upon its
passage by the Foreign Commissioners in England. R. I. Rec, i, 127. R. I.
Collec, iv, 88. 'R. I. Rec, i, 143-146. English land at this time was
owned by the government. Its patent, as that to Mass., was both a grant of
dominion, i. e., the right to govern the inhabitants of it and a c^ant of the right
of loyalists to its use. One of Williams' offenses to Mass. was his _ assertion
that they should not receive the use of the land from Eng. This opinion was
held also by Gorton and most others of the Prov. Plantations, and in accordanca
with this view the patent applied for and received by Williams granted only
dominion, recognizing the Indians as the rightful lords to its use. This right
the inhabitants of Prov. Plantations received by grant from the Indians. The
Feudal system of government ownership of English lands was shortly afterwards
abolished. *There was no town upon the wild lands called by the Indians
Shawom.et when Williams went to obtain the charter, but before he returned
the settlers had built there and been driven from the town, now of about four
little dwellings. 'Remarks of Thomas Aspinwall. Sidney S. Rider,

towns within the Narragansett tract, under the name of the Incorpora-
tion of the Providence Plantations.' No records of the names of the
corporators and of only part of its officers are preserved. Williams
iwas chosen Governor;'" Clark a Representative of Newport, doubtless
one of "the Commissioners" present whom Coddington says "joined
them,'" was chosen Deputy Governor;' Gorton was chosen an Assistant
and Judge ;^ and other Commissioners from Portsmouth and Shawomet
accepted offices to which they were chosen.*
By this charter organization " it was then that the inhabitants of the
State first became a corporate people."° This was the beginning, with
Williams the first Governor, of the government of the present State.
The Plantation of Providence immediately subscribed to, constructed
and conducted its government under it and in accordance with the
charter provisions. It enforced its orders. It was, according to the
then highest earthly authority, the English government, a legally con-
stituted and legally organized government, and although most of the
early records are destroyed, sufficient evidence to assure us of the
exercise of its authority at this time remains. It was the beginning of
the chartered government granting and maintaining unlimited freedom
in matters of conscience and franchise rights to all its people. A
remarkable code of laws, one of the earliest compilation of laws in
American history, in which Gorton's wisdom and literary talent, and
also his superior legal acquirements, are apparent, was drawn up for
the government of the colony. "In the construction of this code, caie
was taken to avoid the errors of which Gorton had complained in the
judicial procedures of the other colonies by making each section con-
form to existing English law, reference to the corresponding English
Statutes being placed at the end thereof." It forbade imprisonment for
debt, and in other respects was in advance of contemporary legislation.
The position against witchcraft indicates a prevailing scepticism here
at the time when Massachusetts was under the spell of the delusion,
soon to break out in an appalling epidemic of persecution.' The men
of Shawomet were particularly accused by the Massachusetts authori-
ties, in a letter addressed to the agent of the colony in England, for
" crying out against them that putteth people to death for witches, for

1651, Clark sailed on that mission from Boston, and in the same month Leveret
followed him to answer him. At no period after 1644-7 was Clark a Deputy
Governor until 1670. Thus it appears that the titles of the chief officers in the
organization, 1644, were Governor, Deputy Governor and Assistants. The
government modeled after that of Hutchinson and Gorton upon the island.

The order from the Massachusetts Court of October 17th was
received; and letters from the Earl of Warwick, President of the Board
of Parliament Commissioners, were, as in divers times before, received
by the Commissioners of the new government, enclosing directions to
the neighboring colonies to respect the chartered rights and expressing
his resolution to maintain the charter granted to Williams.' " Upon
this the country about us was more friendly and wrote to us as an
authorized colony, only the difference of our consciences much ob-
structed.""
There are no preserved records of a January or February General
Assembly. By plunder and by fire and otherwise the greater part of
the records at Providence for the years 1644, 45, 46 were destroyed.
Seldom were books used then, but the records kept on separate sheets
of paper. If any book of general affairs was kept, it is missing. When
a Town-book was used, the proceedings of the Prc'»'*'^«ince Plantations
and the colony of Providence Plantations — proceedings of both bodies —
were entered indiscriminately in it, and it is not always clear in
what capacity an act was done.'" The general business, to begin with,
was hardly more than talk about lands where, during the winter months,
few could settle. The people of the towns of Portsmouth and Newport
maintained their town governments. They had chosen and sent their
representatives to the Assembly of the chartered government and been
joined to it. " The Commissioners," as Coddington stated, " had joined
them in the same charter." Yet Coddington assumed to sit in a court
of his own, which was elected by a limited few, who were by him made
his freemen or electors upon pledging themselves to sustain him. This
he asserted as a superior court, making laws for the whole island and
trying the cases brought into it. Although for many months without
a sitting and its justice and legality denied by so formidable an opponent
as Clark at Newport and Gorton at Portsmouth, and with them a large
majority of the whole island people, he so maintained what he called
" government " as to hold back from the chartered Assembly the busi-
ness of these towns. Very little general business for the charter govern-
ment arose until after Coddington's leaders joined it, and then in draw-
ing the numerous bills of indictment against Coddington.
On April 14th' a court was held by the Deputies or Commissioners,'
and on the 19th of the same month a number of the " free inhabitants "
were granted twenty-five acres each of land, they subscribing with its
acceptance their " obedience to the authority of King and Parliament
established in the colony according to our charter."' In the records
" Town " gave place to " The Plantation," and English law under author-
ity of King and Parliament superseded " arbitration." An order was
issued from one of " said Courts " on the August 4th following,' and
" warrants " commanding attendance at their court were issued by the
Chief-officer Williams in the name of the King and Parliament; the
warrants served by their Sergeant. The form of government now, with
an Executive head and his Assistants, and its Courts and its Attendants,
differed m.aterially from the former one. It was the long desired
authority and judicial order for the people.^

Cannonicus and the other Narragansett Sachems had, since tTie grants
they had made to Greene and to Gorton, again exercised their right
which Massachusetts had forbidden them of disposing of their lands,
and had granted a still larger tract outside of Providence to Williams.
This land was situated about where later the town of Wickford was
built. It was free from conquest or other rights than those of the
Narragansetts and of the English government granted in the charter.
Williams, to be freed from the anno3'ances of the Pawtuxans, now
sought relief here, erected a Trading House and took up his abode
on it." Although the course of Harris or the Pawtuxet claimants was
yet far from ended, this rout of Williams from Providence was the
last rout of any prominence they effected, for with the charter a little
more stable order was established.'
An Assembly of the government of the Providence Plantations was
held at Portsmouth in May of this year, 1645, against which a riotous
demonstration v;as made by its opponents, they also breaking into the
houses of Gorton and others, destroying their writings and carrying
off the volumes in which the laws were printed.* At this session a
movement was made for apportioning some of the lands of the late
grant among settlers. Preparations were also made for returning
home by some of the Shawomet people; but all of this was cut short
by a burst of opposition from Plymouth and Massachusetts, who were
at rivalry for the territory. Brown of Plymouth had, on April 13th,
been dispatched by the Plymouth Court" to look after their interests.
He " found them assembled in a meeting house granting land and such
awful things," and he, in the name of Plymouth, forbade both the
exercise of government under the charter and the distribution of the
land. The Massachusetts Court also forbade the officers and Commis-
sioners of the new government to exercise any authority under the
charter or to distribute the land, or anyone to settle at Shawomet; and
directed their Commissioner, Benedict Arnold, to remove any who
should settle there." " Massachusetts claimed the Sachems' last grant
by various rights, among them that of conquest from the Pequots ; "
so the Commissioners were dissuaded from alloting any land to the
settlers for the present or until the matter could be amicably composed ;
" though," says Williams, " I questioned not our rights, etc., yet I
feared it would be inexpedient and offensive and procreative of their
heats and fires, and the dishonoring of the King's Majesty.'"
Coddington and Brenton opposed the proceedings of the Assembly,
although keeping aloof from it, apprehending danger from the people.*
The disturbances at Providence had increased since Gorton left there.
The Pawtuxet claimants, after the departure of Gorton and Williams
from among them, became more defiant. On June 5th, 1645, the people
of Providence were, upon complaint of William Arnold, served with
Massachusetts attachments upon their lands.* Gorton says : " They
ceased not to send out their warrants amongst us," and again a number
of the government of the Providence Plantations were all together in order in
one volume the organization and working order of the charter government
would be in them clearly apparent. The government was not dependent on
Coddington and his Elders joining it. 'Williams' letter, Nar. Club, vi,

of the people were summoned to Boston for trial ;* and the few aban-
doned, unfinished houses and the lands at Shawomet were applied for
and occupied by Massachusetts subjects. War was begun against the
Narragansetts and white colonists, neither of whom had raised an arm
either of aggression or resistance.
On June 18th a company of forty armed men was sent by the Massa-
chusetts Court to join their ally Uncas, the Mohegan Chief, against
the Narragansetts.' Meantime messengers were sent by the court to
the Narragansetts to exact terms from them."
On June 28th a " meeting extraordinary " of the Commissioners of
the United Colonies, in response to a call from the Massachusetts Court,^
began at Boston. This court continued five weeks in session.* The war
against the Narragansetts having begun,^ requiring speedy course, it
was agreed to take that first into consideration. The action of the
Massachusetts Commissioners in having, without the previous consent
of all the United Commissioners, sent the soldiers against the Narra-
gansetts caused much sharp discussion." The Commissioners now met
ordered the messengers. Sergeant John Davis, Benedict Arnold and
Francis Smith, to secure the attendance of Cannonicus, Pessicus and
other Narragansett Sachems at Boston and to inform them, in case they
refused to come, that soldiers had been sent against them,' but that
war should cease during negotiations.^
The Sachems received the messengers with great suspicion, vowed
that Arnold, who acted as interpreter, had in his former meetings with
them misrepresented them and had threatened them with the accom-
plished act, the death of Miantinomi, their Chief, for selling land to
the proscribed people. Although the Sachems showed surprising com-
posure in refraining from violence, three of them stood behind Arnold
with raised hatchets while he was speaking.' The messengers, fearing
danger and not hoping of better success at present, departed. They
stopped that night at the Trading House of either Smith or Williams.*
Before leaving, they had an interview with Williams and received from
him a letter to the United Commissioners; they then proceeded to
Arnold's house at Providence or Pawtuxet, where they received a
report of other threatening behavior of the Narragansetts from Arnold's
family." And they returned to the court at Boston with Williams'
letter, a report of what they heard and had done, and of the rude usage
they received from the Sachems ; whereupon a Declaration of War
against the Narragansetts was made and the reasons for it were ordered
to be published." Another company of soldiers was despatched to the
aid of the Mohegan Chief with all expedition, and the rest of the forces
from Massachusetts and Plymouth were ordered to join them at
Seekonk on the eastern bounds of Mooshasuck, to enter the Narragan-
sett country. Three hundred troops were ordered to be raised to be
sent forth by the 226. of August at the furthest; and the officers were
appointed and assigned to the command of them. A fleet of barks
and other vessels, an additional force as seamen and mariners and
ammunition and provisions were provided ; works for defense were
ordered to be constructed, and soldiers advanced to Shawomet to build
a fort upon it.'

of the Providence Plantations.'
CHAPTER VIII.
The August 9, 1645, Assembly of the Government of the Providence Planta-
tions at Newport — Letter from the Assembly to Massachusetts — Their desire
for civil government to preserve their lives and liberties caused them to pro-
cure a charter — The Earl of Warwick recognizes and approves the organization
of the government under the charter — Those in the government dare not yield
themselves delinquent to answer at Massachusetts court — The government to
employ messengers to prosecute the cause of the Providence Plantations before
the government of England — Massachusetts claims to possess a prior charter
for the Narragansett territory — Gorton chosen by the Assembly their Commis-
sioner to England — Troops march against the Indians and Whites of the Prov-
idence Plantations — Gorton, about August 16, 1645, departs on his mission —
Plymouth's forces opposite Providence— Army delayed while messengers are
again sent to treat with the Narragansetts — The Narragansetts send for Wil-
liams and Wickes to council with them — The conditions of peace with Massa-
chusetts signed — The official notice, August 2T, 1645, of the alleged patent for
the Narragansett lands sent by Massachusetts to the Providence government.
Early in August and during the sessions of the Court of United Com-
missioners at Boston an Assembly of the government of the Providence
Plantations was held at Newport. During the latter's sessions Brown
visited the island, urging the claims of Plymouth and forbidding the
government tQ proceed. Here he remained some time, Gorton says,
visiting the people of Newport at their houses, forbidding them to
yield obedience to the charter." Brown met Gorton here, who was an
officer of the chartered government, and, Winslow says, still held the
office of local Magistrate on the island.'" The Massachusetts Court
also again served an order on the members of this Assembly, forbidding
them to exercise any government, either in Pawtuxet or Providence,
which, Winthrop says, they, from fear, did not disregard entirely.
Their deliberations regarding it and why they would not yield to it are
given in a letter written by Williams, subscribed to by the Secretary,
on August 9th, 1645, and addressed to the Massachusetts Court. The
letter, after acknowledging the receipt of the Massachusetts letter,
prays for "honorable attention" to the following:
"A civil government we honor and desire to live in for all those good
ends, which are attainable thereby, both of public and private nature.
This desire caused us humbly to sue for a charter from our mother
State and government; but as we belive your consciences are persuaded
to govern our souls, as well as our bodies, and, yourselves will say, we
have cause to endeavor to preserve our souls and liberties, which your
conscieiices must necessarily deprive us of, and either cause greater
distractions and molestations to yourselves and us at home, or cause
our further removal and miseries, we cannot but wonder, that being
now found in a posture of government from the same authority, unto
which you and we equally subject, you should desire us to forbear the
exercise of such a government, without an express from that authority
directed to us.

"And we the rather wonder because our charter as it was first granted
and first established, so it was also expressly signified unto you all in
a letter from divers Lords and Commons, at the sending out of our
charter, out of a loving respect both to yourselves and us.
" Besides, you may please to be informed that His Excellency, the
Lord Admiral, hath lately divers times been pleased to own us under
the notion of Providence Plantations, and that he hath signified unto
us (as we can show you in writing) the desire of Plymouth to infringe
our charter, but his oivn favorite resolution not only to maintain our
charter to his uttermost power, but also to gratify us with any favors,
etc. In all of which respects we see not how we may dare to yield
ourselves delinquents and liable to answer in your court, nay, as your
writing seems to import, why we cast not away such noble favors and
grace unto us. It is true that divers amongst us express their desire
of composing this controversy between yourselves and us, but consider-
ing that we have not only received a challenge from yourselves, but also
from Mr. Fenwick and also from Plymouth and also from some in the
name of the Lord Marquis Hamilton (all of which claims we never
heard until the arrival of our charter), we judge it necessary to employ
our messengers and agents unto the head and fountain of all these
streams and there humbly to prostrate ourselves and cause for a final
sentence and determination — and this we are immediately preparing
to do without any secret reservations or delays, not doubting but
yourselves will feel satisfied with this our course. And in the interim,
although you have not been pleased to admit us unto considerations of
what concerns the whole country, as you have others of our countrymen,
yet we cannot but humbly profess our readiness to attend to all such
friendly and neighborly courses, and ever rest you assured in all ser-
vices of love.

" To the Right Woshpls and their much Houn'd Friends and Contry-

This letter from this Assembly was sent to Winthrop by Williams.
He " never," he says, " received the least reply."*
Gorton, Holden and Greene were employed by the Assembly as the
messengers and agents to the home government to present the cause of
the Providence government and the people for a determination.
The reasons for the war were published by the United Colonies on
August nth at Boston; and word was sent by the Massachusetts
officers to the officers of the Providence Plantations, who were probably
yet in Assembly, that if they should stand as neutrals and not go out
in the work with them they would make plunder of them.
The first company of Plymouth troops left Plymouth on August
15th.' The officers in command were commissioned " sole judges of
the necessity of the expedition," to " have power to use and execute "
fine, corporal punishment and capital punishment, and to seize both
Indian and White suspects, which latter were the adherents to the
chartered government, the leaders of the liberal or majority party
of the Providence Plantations, and to bring them to Boston.*

66 LIFE AND TIMES OF SAMUEL GORTON.
Gorton departed immediately without doubt following this and the
close of the Assembly sessions. The condition was insufferable. The
pass had been reached where it was impossible to proceed further in
carrying on the government without further aid from the mother coun-
try, or for the people longer without such aid to recover or maintain
their possessions, to save their lives, or at least to save themselves
from being taken as heretics or suspects for discipline and punishment
to Boston. Gorton went to England only as a last resort in the extrem-
ity of necessity, as the recent Assembly's letter to the Massachusetts
Court expressed, " to preserve the souls and liberties " of the people in
this emergency. The two other Agents and Commissioners of the char-
tered government, Holden and Greene, went with him. They, too, as
in Williams' case, were not allowed to enter the Massachusetts Colony
to take ship from Boston, and so were forced, like him, to travel for
this purpose to New York, that is, Manhattan."
After their departure, the Plymouth forces under Capt. Standish
rendezvoused at Seekonk, upon the river opposite Providence. While
here encamped with his troops before the Massachusetts forces came,
Standish, observing that some of Providence received the Narragansetts
into their houses familiarly, he demanded of them to lay aside their
neutrality and declare which side they were on. Gorton, in his plea
to the English government, stated as dispatched to him, that Standish
summoned the Providence Plantations to renounce the neutrality and
declare themselves to be either on his side or enemies.'
The Massachusetts army was delayed by considerations of the magni-
tude and expense of such a war, her accountability to the English
government, the protests of the Providence Plantations and many of
the Massachusetts people.' This resulted in having, on August i8th,
another committee, consisting of Capt. Harding and Mr. Wilbour, with
Benedict Arnold again as interpreter (all of them paid subjects of
Massachusetts, although not residents there), appointed to visit the
Narragansetts to treat with them." The Narragansetts this time refused
to council with the committee unless they dispensed with the services
of Benedict Arnold, accusing him as before of being their enemy and
of misrepresenting them.* Arnold also, fearing, refused to go without
an armed guard of a hundred men. The Narragansetts sent for
Williams and Wickes, the latter one of those formerly chosen by the
Narragansetts their Commissioners to make known their submission
deed and grievances to England, to come and council with them.
The Narragansetts, having honorably abided by their agreement and
refrained from making their threatened avenging war,'" until every
vantage ground was acquired by the United Colonies, and considering
that as the allied armies of these colonies and the Mohegans had or
were about to invade Providence and Warwick to seize both Indian
and white suspects, the impending war if continued would, as intended
by those who waged it, destroy the refugee settlements and sacrifice
the lives of many of these white people; as a matter of prudence, as
well as from faith in the Royal protection and eventual righting of
" what wrong is or may be done," after the matter was laid before
Parliament by the colonies' messengers, Williams counseled the Narra-
departure was about Aug. i6, 1645. He wrote his "Incorruptible Key" after
be in 1644 returned to and before his departure from the island; published in
London and printed on its title, " Penned in Rhode Island." •Gorton's

gansetts to accept, at a present sacrifice, the hard terms of peace that
the United Colonies offered them.
The Narragansetts, although now a strong nation, moved by their
love for these men and confiding in the belief that the English govern-
ment would right the wrong and enforce the redress which was the
condition of their submission and cession, when this should be fully
presented to it, accepted the advice of their councillors and consented
to what was a disastrous agreement, making of their nation a tributary
people. The treaty, which bound them to unjust and almost impossible
obligations and conditions of peace, required four of the Indian chil-
dren, which were delivered to the Magistrates as hostages for their
fidelity, was concluded at Boston the 27th day of August, 1645.'
The letter following, giving some of the particulars of the present
settling of these difficulties, was on November 20th sent to Gorton's
destination in England :
" We are all in health at this present and cheerful [the great want is
your company], though men generally more invective than ever. The
Bay had provided an army to go against the Narragansetts had they
not been prevented in the very interim thus : Capt. Harding informed
the court of the difficulty of the enterprise, upon which the court
employed him and Mr. Wilbour to go to the Narragansetts and take
Benedict Arnold to interpret. When they came to Benedict, he refused
to go without a hundred men in arms, only to possess them with danger
to effect his bloody plot; upon which Mr. Williams being sent for to
Narragansett, and also myself, to inquire of us what the minds of
these mad people were to kill men for nothing, I went to Providence
athinking to go with Master Williams ; but when I came there he was
gone with the Captain and Mr. Wilbour upon Benedict's refusal. I
staid their return, and their agreement was to have Pessicus go into
the Bay, and Master Williams was necessitated to put himself hostess
until his return. The news coming into the Bay did so vex the ministers
that Mr. Cotton preached upon it, that it being so wicked an act to
take Master Williams with them, being one cast out of the church.
It was all one as to take counsel of a witch, and that those who did it
were worthy to die; upon which Mr. Wilbour was ready to die for
fear he would be hanged. So then the Indians went down and they
compelled them to cease war with Uncas and to pay them five hundred
pounds for charges of court and provisions for soldiers, and to leave
four of their Chiefs' children till the money be paid, and to leave four
of their chief men till the children came; and to promise them not to
sell any land without their consent. This being done, they came home
again and sent a man to tell me what was done, telling me that if
the Lord in England help them not they are like to suffer at present;
but still they say they are not afraid of them, but only give them their
demands rather than to war before the Lord hear of it, that all may
see they mean no hurt to English, but will submit to the laws of Eng-
land ; concluding it is but lent, it will come home with advantage both
to their wisdom and profit. Pessicus hath been often with me to desire
me to inform you of these things. With great desire to see you again,
your ever loving friend J. W., Nov. 20, 1645."^
The Narragansetts, now prevented from protecting Williams and his
friends of the Providence Plantations against Massachusetts, as they
were disposed to do upon occasion, the Massachusetts Court, before
the close of the day on which the treaty was signed and they obtained

the hostages, on August 27th, 1645, sent to Williams as the Chief-
officer' of the new government an ofificial notice of their possession of
what they called a patent for the lands of the Narragansetts, " wherein
Providence and the island of Aquidneck are included."* The paper
they called a patent bore the date of December loth, 1643, which was
more than three months prior to the date of the charter obtained by
Williams; nearly one and three-quarter years before the present official
assertion and brandishment of it as a charter over the Providence
Plantations.'
CHAPTER IX.
The mortgages and deeds secured by the Athertons, Arnolds and other Massa-
chusetts subjects for Narragansett, Shawomet and Providence lands — Provi-
dence Plantations people subscribe to their chartered government — It grants
them lands — The Massachusetts court meets October i, 1645, and grants Shaw-
amet lands to their subjects — Brown, a Plymouth subject, forbids the Massachu-
setts subjects to settle on it — Captain Cook sent to England to aid other agents
there defend Massachusetts' actions — Vassal's religious toleration movement
extends to Massachusetts — Gorton's departure from Manhattan — He, in Janu-
ary, 1645-6, reaches England — His complaint to the Parliament Commissioners.
The Narragansetts were not long able to endure the imposed penalty
and forfeits, and Major Atherton of Massachusetts and other astute
Commissioners of the United Colonies, who had organized for the
purchase of Indians lands, " assisted them," and received therefore a
mortgage and deed of the great tract designated " the Atherton pur-
chase."°
Those charged with the government of the Providence Plantations
did not, however, "yield themselves delinquent to Massachusetts."
Williams replied to the Massachusetts Court, to Winthrop, he says,
in words " he believed weighty and righteous ; '" and they continued
to hold their Assemblies and granted to the landless inhabitants many
of the unoccupied acres, the people almost unanimously subscribing
to and " agreeing to yield obedience to the authority established in the
colony according to the charter."*
The Massachusets Court met on the first of October. During its
sessions the Shawomet lands were again applied for by its subjects
and ten thousand acres of it granted to twenty families who, under
Benedict Arnold, attempted to possess themselves of the property."
During this October William Arnold placed on record in Boston a
deed for the Shawom.et lands, from the sub-Sachem Socononico to
William Arnold, Robert Cole and William Carpenter, who all had
subjected themselves to Massachusetts ; it bearing the date of January
30th, 1641, antedating the original deed of January I2th, 1642, for
Shawomet which Gorton obtained from the Chief Sachem Miantinomi.
During the same year Benedict Arnold placed on record in Boston a
deed for the Shawomet lands as far as the Pawtuxet river extended,
from the subjected sub-Sachem to himself, a subject of Massachusetts.
It was dated 1644.
Also in same year William Arnold procured and placed on record in
Boston a deed for the Meshanticut land, which was the southern
4th Mass. Collec, vii, 627. *R. I. Rec, i, 133. "R. I. Rec, i,

portion of Providence, from the subjected sub-Sachem to himself.
All these deeds were secretly obtained and secretly taken with the
sub-Sachems to Boston and there recorded. They were never recorded
in Providence. The purpose of the Arnolds being to throw the Colonies'
lands under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, when these deeds to them
would be effective."*
Brown of Plymouth, who had remained long upon the island visiting
the people and had been convinced of the justice of Gorton's cause
while tarrying there, proceeded thence to Shawomet, where the Massa-
chusetts subjects had gone to view for settlement, and forbade them in
the name of Plymouth, declaring that the land belonged to Gorton.
This being reported to the court, it sent a messenger to Plymouth to
inquire if they approved this.' This court ordered that Richard Salton-
stall and Capt. Cook should be joined with Mr. Pocock (a man of
eminent ability and influence with the English government, who had
lately been engaged by Massachusetts with the other Commissioners
in England for Massachusetts) in negotiating for them before the Right
Honorable the Earl of Warwick and the rest of the Commissioners of
Plantations, etc., or before the high court of Parliament, if occasion
required, concerning the two late grants or charters for the govern-
ment or jurisdiction of lands adjoining to Narragansett Bay.^ If it
were the younger Saltonstall, he did not leave for some time after.*
Sr. Richard Saltonstall, who was in England and had in 1632 ably
defended Governor Endicott of Massachusetts before the King's Council,
was of but little present service to Massachusetts, he having experienced
changed convictions regarding the justice of what he had defended
and might be called upon to defend. From England he wrote : " To
Mr. Cotton and Mr. Wilson, preachers to the church which is at Boston
in New England: It doth not a little grieve my spirit to hear what
sad things are reported daily of your tyranny and persecution in Nev/
England."* Capt. Cook, who had victoriously led the troops in the
early assault upon the settlers of Providence and Shawomet, had, in
one of the later invasions of Providence and Shawomet under his
command, been himself, with some of his company, captured, but
probably now had been released. He soon made his departure.
A petition, the petitioners led by William Vassall of Scituate, Ply-
mouth, for the government to allow and maintain full and free tolera-
tion of religion to all men who would preserve the civil peace and
submit unto government, which had been signed by a large share of
the people of Plymouth and had fruitlessly been presented to the govern-
ment there, was, through the added efforts of Dr. Robert Childs at
Boston, signed by many of the most influential and presented to the
Deputies or Representatives of the people in the government of Massa-
chusetts without any better success. It will be remembered that upon
zn earlier movement and introduction of a resolution regarding it
the Plymouth Governor, Prence, would not allow a vote." After the
failure of the Massachusetts Deputies to effect anything for the petition-
ers, the petition was presented to the Massachusetts court and then to
the home government, entreating that His Majesty clear the govern-
ment of the colonies of the distinction between church and civil state
and the transactions of those that eovern.'

70 LIFE AND TIMES OF SAMUEL GORTON.
Peters and Weld, who were upon Williams' outstripping them for a
charter ordered by the Massachusetts Court to return and give a
particular account of their work at home, however, remained there,
and other writings about the cause of the colony of Massachusetts
were sent to them.
Gorton had to wait some time at Manhattan for transportation, and
then he could secure passage only to Holland, where he again lay await-
ing passage into England. When upon arriving, the Massachusetts
agents who had so long preceded him had their story widely promul-
gated and had secured the placing of themselves and such clnef men of
England as were their friends upon the committees to which the business
was referred; an obstacle to the forwarding of the business or to any
just hearing that could be removed only by much work and almost the
wearing out of the weaker party with expense and long waiting.'
The King, with his tired troops, was a fugitive among the mountains
of Scotland; and, although he held Oxford, a tree was oftener the
canopy of State under which he held council.
Gorton's intimacy with his excellent and potent friend, the Earl of
Warwick, President of the Board of Parliament Commissioners, and
his access to the records of the Board's proceedings, were quick assur-
ances to him that no patent for the Narragansett country had been
granted to Massachusetts. What they had reported as one was but the
draft of one which was without [the Massachusetts agents, Weld and
Peters, having failed to secure them] the majority of the signatures of
the Parliament Commissioners. The Massachusetts agents being de-
feated in the strife for a patent by Williams, had sent their incompleted,
unpassed, unregistered, worthless paper to Massachusetts as an evi-
dence of their, although defeated, yet earnest endeavors.' Yet, undis-
mayed and still trying to throw off the blame put upon them by Massa-
chusetts, they were now diligently laboring to have the patent to
Williams recalled and their embryo-patent perfected. In Gorton's
first work there, he says, he met " both ministers and Magistrates and
others," of Massachusetts, " pleading their cause that the said charter
might be authentic, which would have happened if Warwick men had
not opposed it."*
Weld and Peters were able and serviceable men to Massachusetts
and formidable opponents to Gorton and the Providence Plantations.
Weld was one of the Synod who found and " confuted " the eighty-two
" Wheelright errors," and was the editor of Rise, Reign and Ruin, a
volume of preposterous stories, believed to have been compiled by Win-
throp, of the horrible freaks of the dissenters he styled " antinomians,""
a book widely distributed and read and believed by many in New Eng-
land and England, prejudicing them against dissenters such as Williams,
Hutchinson and the rest of the Providence Plantation people.'
Peters, too, was an assiduous and successful laborer for Massachu-
setts and a man of great influence with Cromwell. He took an active
part in the transactions of the Commonwealth and became Cromwell's
favorite Chaplain and Counsellor. He possessed a spirit of unconquer-
able energy and perseverance, was fervid and impressive in his elo-
ciuence, popular as an orator, and of great courage. He preached before
the court that tried the King Charles the First, urging his condemnation,
and after the sentence (according to the fashion in England) before the

execution preached the funeral sermon to the King, a terrible denun-
ciation.' This glimpse at the formidable character of the men and
measures of Massachusetts reveals but faintly a few of the obstacles
against which it was Gorton's heroic task to contend.
The Complaint or Memorial of the Providence Plantations to the
Parliament Commissioners was set forth in a paper written by Gorton
dated January i6th, 1645-6, prepared doubtless during his voyage. It
told of the wrongs inflicted upon the people of these plantations, their
removal from their houses and lawfully purchased possessions, the
trials for error in their religious opinions, the usurpations by the
Colonies of power not granted in their charters, and their tyrannical
use of it upon them, and their banishment, not only from the territory
granted to them in their charter, but from all the land purchased by
themselves of Miantinomi beyond their limits, of Massachusetts and
Plymouth claims and their jointly violating and obstructing the charter
granted to Williams, and the commands of Massachusetts and of Ply-
mouth that they refrain from exercising any authority of the govern-
ment they had organized under the charter and in which themselves
were officers. It recounted the wrong done to the Narragansett nation,
and set forth their act of submission and cession to the English govern-
ment of all their dominion ; the proceedings of Massachusetts and
Plymouth against the Narragansetts to take the country they had
ceded to England, and which fell within the compass of the charter
granted to Williams, by destroying them with the sword. It also
stated that word had been sent to Providence that if they should stand
as neutrals in the war and not go out with them in the work they would
make plunder of them.

Gorton's petition contained no plea for redress for losses nor for
injuries done him or anyone, but that the Massachusetts Magistrates be
restrained from exercising authority beyond their chartered jurisdic-
tion, and that the rights of the natives and the natural and chartered
rights of the people of the Providence Plantations be regarded, and
they be restored to their lands and houses under them."
At a full meeting of the Parliament Commissioners of Plantations,
to whom Gorton's memorial was addressed, the Lord High Admiral,
the Earl of Warwick, informed Gorton in open board that he knew'
of no other charter for these parts than that Mr. Williams had obtained,
and he was sure that charter Massachusetts pretended had never
passed the table.'' There was no registry of any such paper, and an
examination of it disclosed that its date, December loth, 1643, was a
Sunday when Gorton was languishing in Massachusetts in irons. It had
not the names to it of a majority of the Parliament Commissioners,
which was necessary for it to pass, if they were genuine signatures.'
A mandate was drawn up by the Parliament Commissioners to the
government of Massachusetts which silenced its profession to any other
late charter than that to Williams, affirming this grant and to its pro-
visions commanding the Massachusetts Magistrates' obedience. A copy
of the^ complaint and petition was enclosed with the mandate of the
Commissioners, dated May 15th, 1646, to Massachusetts, viz.: "To
suffer the petitioners and all others, late inhabitants of Narragansett
Bay, freely and quietly to live and plant upon Shawomet and all other
lands included in the patent lately granted to them zvithoiit extending
your jurisdiction to any part therein, or otherwise disquieting their
consciences or civil peace, or interrupting them in their possession,
until we have received your answer to their claims in point of title
and you shall have received our further orders therein.
The Parliament Commissioners also commended the wisdom and
moderation of the petitioners. They say : " You may take notice that
we found the petitioners' aim and desire in the result of it zvas not so
much a reparation for tvhat had passed as a setting their habitation
for the future under that government by a charter of civil incorporation,
which was heretofore granted them by ourselves. The Narragansett
Bay was divers years inhabited by those of Providence, Portsmouth and
Newport who are interested in the complaint, and that the same is
wholly without the bounds of the Masachusetts patent." And they
required the trespassers to remove any persons who had taken posses-
sion of Shawomet lands by their authority, and permit the petitioners
to pass through their territory without molestation to their own homes.'
This was signed by the Lord High Admiral, the Earl of Warwick, the
President of the Board of Parliament Commissioners, and by a majority
of the other members.' Capt. Cook was not allowed to return to New
England. He joined Cromwell's army, and in 1652 met his death in
the campaign in Ireland.

setts and the glad news to the Providence Plantations. He arrived
at Boston on September 13th, 1646. He brought with him also a pass-
port of same date from the Lord High Admiral and nine other of the
Commissioners, directed to the government and Magistrates of Massa-
chusetts, in it repeating their order and further requiring that Samuel
Gorton and his company might land at any port in New England and
" pass without any of your let or molestations through any part of the
continent of America within your jurisdiction to the said tract of land.
Hereof you may not fail and this shall be your warrant." Gorton
remained in England upon the further business requiring him.
A report of the complaint and petition made by Gorton had been
received in Masachusetts long before the official copy enclosed with
the mandate was received, and other papers about the case were sent
by the Massachusetts Court to Peters and Wild, their agents in Eng-
land ; but in November the Massachusetts Court received word from
Peters that the writings which were sent over last were not sufficient,
and for the Governor to come over and assist them ;" but it was feared
that if the Governor went he would be detained there, and so it was
resolved to send another and also to send new writings to strengthen
their position.
Coddington, as he says, " to further that end," engaged in serving
them with material for amplifying their writings against Gorton and
the Providence Plantations, craftily preparing for Massachusetts " The
Sum of the Presentment," as he called it, against Gorton, and secretly
entertaining at his home upon the island Massachusetts emissaries
whom he despatched in the morning early. He writes to Governor
Winthrop on November nth the following: " I thought meet to inform
you that your son, Mr. John and all his departed from our island on
the 3d day in the m.orning early; the wind not being good to clear
them further than Block Island, but on the 4th day in the morning it
was very good, so that I doubt not they are all safely arrived before the
storm began; by whom I received your letter of the 21st of October.
For Gorton and his company they are to me as they ever have been,
their freedom of the island is denied and was zvlien I accepted the place
I now have. The Commissioners have joined them in the same charter,
though we maintain the government as before. To further that end
you wrote of, I sent to Mr. Cotton to be delivered to Mr. Elliot, that
requested it, zvhat zcas entered upon the records, under the Secretary's
hand; which I do think you may do well to make use of, because I hear
it sinks most with the Earl, where they have liberty of conscience.
Mr. Peters' writes in that you sent your son p'secute f and so in haste
not doubting as occasion serves, to approve myself yours ever, William
Coddington." '
These passages from letters to Governor Winthrop exhibit the rela-
tion of Coddington to the Colony of Providence Plantations. He is the
instrument employed by Massachusetts to defeat the union of the towns,
by which alone they could hope to secure independence of her. He is
employed by her agent to procure from the public records such
extracts as might be made to appear objectionable to the honorable
old patent for which a claim had been made. Ante p. '"2d Winthrop. iJ,

Board of Commissioners for foreign plantations; and how super-
serviceable he desires to be in this capacity he shows by insiduously
calling particular attention to the act relating to liberty of conscience
as likely to sink most with the Earl of Warwick, the President of the
Board.*
The Massachusetts Court, upon receipt of the mandate and the call
for help from Peters, addressed themselves unto Mr. Winslow to take
another voyage for England, that he might thus procure their deliver-
ance from the designs of many troublesome adversaries that were
petitioning unto Parliament against them; and this Hercules, having
been from his very early days accustomed unto the crushing of that
kind of serpents, generously undertook another agency. He sailed from
Boston the middle of December, 1646."
Winslow was selected as the one pre-eminently qualified for the most
important mission. He was accounted " the most able and earnest "
advocate in the colonies. "A fit man," Winthrop said, " to be employed
in our affairs in England, both in regard to his abilities of presence,
speech, courage and understanding, as also being well known to the
Commissioners.'" With portions of the Island's public records, and
" The Sum of the Presentment against Gorton " supplied by Codding-
ton,' the " Book of News " by Winthrop,' the writings of other Magis-
trates and ministers, an address from the Massachusetts Court charg-
ing almost everything against the heretics to justify the Magistrates' pro-
ceedings against them, and various captured papers copied " not verbatum
only, but literatum,"^ he was the best all-round equipped and reinforced
advocate that an opponent, " almost without friends," ever met and
stood up against alone." Then, too, " the times had greatly changed "
since the granting of the charter to Williams; now "the Puritans being
in power in England, Mr. Winslow had great advantage in the business
from the credit and esteem which he enjoyed with that party.'"
During the twenty years of Parliament and Commonwealth reign,
1640 to 1660, Massachusetts was the favorite of Cromwell. They
enjoyed the favor that no other colony enjoyed or received, the commo-
doties of all nations free of duty.' They had other advantages over the
neighboring colonies. They had the exclusive control of the only

after Gorton's departure for England. Gorton had been chosen and dispatched by
Williams and all of his friends to sustain his charter. They were intense friends
and coadjutors, and this pretended copy of Williams' letter for the Mass. magis-
trates' use against them and in England manifestly was an invention. No such
letter in writing was ever found, and Winthrop seems to have preserved all of
them. A printed coppy of the printed pretended letter is among the Narragansett

printing press (that at Cambridge) in America for nearly twenty
years, with licenses prohibiting the publication of any book or paper not
approved by them.' For want of a sufificient population it was not
until 1709 that a printing press could be maintained in Providence or
on the island.* There was, as a consequence of these conditions, a
plethora of only Massachusetts books and writings, many being printed
and sent over to England.
Winthrop says that upon Winslow's arrival there he had a day
appointed for audience before the Earl of Warwick and the Commis-
sioners of Plantations, Gorton appearing in Rhode Island's (the Provi-
dence Plantations) defense." Although Winslow was, as Mather says,
an " Hercules," and he also had " great advantages in the business"
through his assistant Massachusetts agents and counsellors and official
friends, Gorton unaided and almost alone, had the " herculean talk."
Added to the Massachusetts array of influence and talent against him
was the ingenious opposition that came from Coddington and the other
opponents of the charter, the Arnolds. In but few instances did man
ever defend a cause so successfully against such an avalanche of
assailants and assaults, his assailants having such unfair advantage of
him.' The virulent book " Rise, Reign and Ruin of the Antinomians "
was now extensively circulated and read in England. It cited instances
of alleged monstrous births among the Providence people as proofs of
their moral monstrosities and their disfavor with the Almighty, and
intimated charges of witchcraft against them.' Cotton's book " Bloody
Tenets Washed" was also published at this time in London;' and the
" Book of News " with the address of the Massachusetts Court and
the other before described writings to justify the proceedings against
Gorton, together with the other material furnished by Coddington, had
been printed and distributed, and were included by Winslow in his
defense.
CHAPTER XI.
The hearing before the Parliament Commissioners — Winslow's and Gorton's re-
quests— The Parliament Commissioners refuse all of Winslow's requests and
grant all of Gorton's — Winslow proceeds to have the Providence charter called
in — Winslow again defeated — The Providence charter to stand — Massachu-
setts commanded to not remove the people, but to assist and protect them —
Gorton and Winslow correspondence — No further opposition from Winslow —
Gorton leaves England for home.
Under these unauspicious prospects for Gorton the hearing before
the Commissioners of Parliament was called on May 25th, 1647. Win-
slow, without evidence for the territorial claims made by Plymouth
and Massachusetts, was constrained to principally rely for his success
upon the common weapon against heretics; the calumny furnished him
against the Providence agent and people ; and Gorton's election as a
Magistrate was mentioned by him as a catastrophe and evidence of the
danger threatening the colonies from such men as he. Winslow's
address was arranged in three parts. The first was Winthrop's News,
adroitly edited and improved, and the Massachusetts Court's charges,
urging the injurious results that would follow in respect to the Massa-
chusetts attempts to convert the Indians, if Gorton and company should

be " countenanced and upheld," and the other writings all " examined
and allowed by the general court holden at Boston." The second part
was a further account of Gorton, falsely accusing him of blasphemy
and of encouraging the Indians to war. The third part was " The Cause
of the Planting of New England " reviewed, with efforts to show that
great danger threatened the colony from " such as Gorton and his
company," that the practice of Massachusetts was not to punish for
heresy, but for contempt " toward the authority God had betrusted "
to them ; that the " severe law " complained of they " never did or will
execute the rigor of," but were " loth to repeal or alter the law because
we would leave it " to " bear witness against their judgment and prac-
tice."' Winslow's defense was soon after republished with a full table
of contents under the titles of " The Danger of Tolerating Levelers "
and "A More Particular Account Including the Former One." By
these and various other methods the heretics were made to appear odius
to many and deserving of all or more than the most charged or that
could be done to them.
Winslow, in his address to the committee, made five requests : First,
that they would " strengthen the cause of Massachusetts by their favor-
able approbation." Second, that they would never suffer Samuel Gorton
any more to go to New England. Third, that they would suffer New
Plymouth to enjoy their former liberties in the line of their government,
which included their the Providence government's " very seat even,"
Providence and Shawomet. Fourth, that they would " patronize " him in
the "just defense" Vv?hich he was making and thus place his constituents
under obligations to " engage with and for the Parliament and the
Commoners against all opposers of the State (England) to the last
drop of blood in their veins."'"
Not all of Gorton's address to the committee on this occasion is
preserved, but Winslow's requests Gorton probably offset with the same
requests as applied for himself and Providence, among them that the
English government would " never suffer Winslow any more to go to
New England." The result of the trial was the refusal by the Parlia-
ment Commissioners to Winslow of every one of his requests and the
granting of those of Gorton ;' and the issuance by them of a second
letter to Massachusetts, admonishing them to confine their jurisdiction
to within the limits of their sole patent.
They say : " We did not intend by our former letter to restrain the
bounds of your jurisdiction to a narrower compass than is held forth
in your letters patent. Our resolution took rise from an admittance
that the Narragansett Bay, the thing in question, was wholly without
the bounds of your patent, the examination whereof will, in the next
place, come before us, and whereas our said direction extended not
only to yourselves, but also to all the other governments and planta-
tions in New England whom it might concern, we declare that we
intended thereby no prejudice to any of their just rights, nor the
countenancing of any practice to violate them."^
Winthrop says: "The Commissioners having thus declared them-
selves to have an honorable regard of us and care to promote the
welfare of the four United Colonies and other English plantations
to the eastward, for they had confirmed Mr. Rigby's patent of Ligonia,
and by their favorable interpretation of it had brought it to the seaside,

whereas the words of the grant laid it twenty miles short [they were
but twenty-four miles short of Shawomet] and had put Mr. Ferdinand
Georges out of all as far as Soco, our agent proceeded to have the
charter, which they had lately granted to those of Rhode Island and
Providence, to be called in."^ To this object the efforts of Winslow
and his assistants were applied, to be again defeated, the Commissioners
deciding that the charter they had granted to Williams should stand.
Massachusetts " was prohibited " from acting under the Weld paper
and enjoined to confine their jurisdiction to the territory defined in their
charter. The Massachusetts Magistrates never placed the Weld paper
upon their government records, for it would have been too difficult to
explain if they were called upon so to do by the English government
or their Commissioners. It was not again during sixteen years men-
tioned. Its promoters wisely let it sink into oblivion.* The Parliament
Board decided that Commissioners upon the ground should examine
and determine to which charter all the disputed territory belonged.
And they issued, July 22d, 1647, another order to Massachusetts that
" the government wherein whose jurisdiction they (the inhabitants)
shall appear to be, not only not to remove them, but to encourage them
with protection and assistance." These orders were all signed by a
majority of the Parliament Commissioners and by those who were
claimed as signers of the Weld paper.
Gorton received from the Parliament Commissioners, single-handed
against numbers of the most able and influential, all he asked for and
ail he could wish, except a " visible force " to compel the Massachusetts
Magistrates to obey Parliament's mandates. The internal difficulties
in England having a paramount claim upon the thoughts and resources
of Parliament, the governments of the colonies were necessarily for
the time neglected; yet, as a result of Gorton's work, the government
of the Providence Plantations under their charter was so confirmed
and determined that a fusion of all the parties on main land and island
ensued, resulting in an agreement by them to the order established by
the charter. Peace, however, was deferred, principally by the intrigues
of Coddington and the impunity with which Massachusetts pursued
her own way during the reign of Cromwell.
" The final issue of Gorton's address to the Parliament Commission-
ers," Arnold says, " not only prevented the Parliament from revoking
their first decision, but also to have it confirmed, to the final discom-
fiture of their implacable enemies.'"
Gorton says : " Mr. Winslow and myself had honorable correspond-
ence in England and before the honorable committee, which he himself
referred to, and not to wrong the chart I saw nothing to the contrary
but that I had as good acceptation in the eyes of that committee as he
himself had, although he had a greater charter and larger commission."
Winslow and Gorton were early friends, dating from before the diffi-
culties between the Providence Plantations and Massachusetts. Though
as agent for Massachusetts to defend them against Gorton's complaints
Winslow was obliged to make their defense against his judgment and
v/ith great reluctance, with such representations as they directed, some
of them he would not have made of his own motion; and of Gorton,
Winslow in his discretion is compelled to say that "time v/as when
his person was precious in my sight." There must have been something
spiritual about him to have drawn from him such an expression of

affectionate regard. Winslow seems to have felt it necessary to excuse
himself for saying the hard things he did say of him.'
Gorton, with the assurance of no further opposition from Winslow,
in the spring of 1647-8 left for home with directions from the President
of the Board of Parliament Commissioners of Plantations and with a
letter commanding his protection in passing through Massachusetts.
He and Winslow parted friends.' Winslow resigned his agency for
Massachusetts and accepted an English commission from that govern-
ment, and died at sea on the expedition against Hispanoli.'
There were many critical periods in the early history of the State.
This was the first, and none could be more critical. Her chartered rights
had been by her more powerful and influential rival denied, her terri-
tory taken by armed possession and another government set up over it.
It has been suggested that the claims Gorton presented were so just
that success could not otherwise than attended his efforts. The
justice of a cause does not insure it. The spirit of justice did noC
govern rulers generally, and the wonder is that he, against such multi-
tude and variety of special and influential opposition, prevailed and pre-
vented the Providence charter from being called in, the pretended Weld
charter from being completed, the refugees from being delivered for
punishment as requested, and the land from being divided up among
the other colonies. The founding of the State is due to Roger Williams.
Its preservation is due to Samuel Gorton.
CHAPTER XII.
A union Assembly, May, 1647 — The Model Civil Government under English laws
as first drawn up by Gorton and Hutchinson at Portsmouth on the island now
agreed to by all the parties — All men privileged to " walk as their consciences
persuaded them, in the name of Jehova their God " — Two governments — The
Model Civil Government and the Judge and Elders Government contrasted —
Coggershall made second President, or Governor, of the chartered govern-
ment— Coddington, for third time left out of office, goes to Boston — War-
wickers attempt to resettle at Warwick — Massachusetts sends Benedict Arnold
and other of their officers to disperse them, and grants their lands to others —
President Coggershall visits Warwick and interposes for his people.
Of the owners of Shawomet now living at Portsmouth, Judge Bray-
ton says: "They were all law and order men and for civil govern-
ment. They all held allegiance to the crown of England and claimed
to be governed by the laws of the Kingdom. They all held that the
civil power could not rightfully meddle with the consciences of men or
with their religious belief. They claimed that the laws of England were
theirs and that English liberty was theirs; that they came from the
mother country to these shores clothed with them; that it was their
birthright, and they had an abiding confidence that the government
at home would in the end vindicate those rights." Besides these men,
most of the inhabitants of Portsmouth were the same minded. They
were the subscribers to the civil compact and were the members of

that government, but were not of the government that Cojjdington now
pretended over them. All these and the large majority of the whole
of the people of the Providence Plantations had been anxiously await-
ing to know what would be the final issue of Gorton's mission, trusting
that the charter would be sustained and their rights and liberties pro-
tected by law. The intelligence that the pretentious Weld paper was
not a charter and that the Parliament Commissioners were zealous to
uphold the charter granted to Williams were both " tidings of great
joy to these people," and the means of so generally terminating the
internal opposition as to bring about the union of those who had been
Coddington's leading supporters with the chartered government.'
A General Assembly at Portsmouth, May i8th, 1847, had, upon the
suggestion of the Providence Commissioners, the call of the govern-
ment to them all, a full representation from all the towns." The
Commissioners representing Providence in the government, and the only
body of Commissioners the names of which are preserved were Gregory
Dexter, William Wickenden, Thomas Olney, Robert Williams, Richard
Waterman, Roger Williams, William Field, John Greene, John Smith,
and John Lippitt. There were two kinds of Commissioners from the
island. The two sets, each chosen by the inhabitants of their own town,
and the one set chosen by Coddington's limited number of freemen
for both towns, the whole island. After much sparring, the Portsmouth
Commissioners obtained a rule under which they proceeded to " act
alone according to the Assembly's instructions," declaring themselves
to be " as free as any other town in the colony." The Newport Com-
missioners, however composed, were, that is 'those who were successful
as such and were seated, most of them Coddington's friends.
Shawomet had but about six settlers when the charter was written,
but, as the reader has seen, provisions were made in the charter for
all both present and furture settlements within its stated bounds. Gorton
having named it Warwick, in honor of his friend the Earl of Warwick,
it was represented with the other towns. Portsmouth, to insure the
stability of their independence of Coddington, proposed an act that
each town govern its own affairs, but the friends of the latter prevailed
with an amendment that they " might work either apart or jointly,'"
which left the matter in its unsettled condition, disappointing the
people's expectations and heightening the feeling of unrest and dissat-
isfaction. The Providence Commissioners' desires were expressed in
resolutions, among them that all subscribe to the laws of England as
had their Portsmouth friends, and the acceptance of the model of
government that had been shown to them by their worthy friends of
the island. The following propositions of the Portsmouth Commission-
ers were adopted: That the plantations assent to receive and be gov-
erned by the laws of England — not the church compact of Coddington;
that " each town should have apart for the transaction of particular
affairs a charter of civil incorporation ; " and that the model of govern-
ment and laws which they submitted be accepted by the whole repre-
sentation for the colonies.^
Peterson, in his history of Rhode Island, says that when the Codding-
ton faction joined the charter government of the Providence Plantations
"the town of Providence instructed their Commissioners to hold a
correspondence with the whole colony 'in the model that hath been
lately shown unto us by our worthy friends of the island,' and it appears
that the plan of the government was framed by the people of the island
and shown to those of Providence, who agreed to adopt them; and
"•R. I. Rec, I. 'R. I. Rec, i, 191. »R. I. Rec, i, 43, 44, 147
8o LIFE AND TIMES OF SAMUEL GORTON.
thus from the legislation of the people of the island the free institu-
tions emanated." But he does not credit to the proper islanders the
principles which he says " operated like leaven in diffusing itself
through the minds of the masses and formed the nucleus out of which
ultimately sprang the Declaration of Independence." The government
agreed to was not that of Coddington's, but that of Hutchinson-Gorton's
on the island."
The government agreed to by all present provided for a President
and Chief Justice and four Assistants or Associate Justices, for a
Court of Election annually in May, and for General and Quarterly
Courts; for a Grand Jury, that men have their preemptory and other
challenges to the full as they have them in England; and for a Jury
of Twelve men of the same town where the Court of Trial is held.
The general code of laws, which concerned all men, was first approved
by the towns [as the States adopted the Constitution and still adopt
amendments] and was ratified by the General Assembly of the whole
people. All legislative power was placed ultimately in the whole
people in General Assembly convened. Towns might propose laws [as
States amends to the Constitution] and the approval of a General Court
of Commissioners might give them a temporary force; but it was only
the action of the General Asembly (the General Government) which
could make them general and permanent for all persons within the
colony. But the towns had their local laws [as the States have theirs],
which could not be enforced beyond their own limits ; and they had their
town courts [as the States have State courts], >vhich had exclusive
original jurisdiction over all causes between its own citizens.*
The code contained rules, among them one severely condemning a
judge for stooping to the roll of the advocate, directing that the judge
in charging the jury " should mind the inquest of the most material
passages and arguments that are brought by one and other for the
case and against it, without alteration or leaning to one party or
another, v.'hich is too commonly seen." And recorded that " as it would
be too prejudical to the place or quiet government thereof for a man
out of a discontented self-will, or other pretense, not to resign, together
with his office belonging to the colony, island or town, to him that is
chosen and appointed thereto. Be it therefore enacted by the authority
of the present Assembly that whosoever hath or shall hereafter have
books, papers or parchments that belong to the colony, island or town,
or any other things appertaining thereto, shall within one month after
another be chosen and appointed to take the charge thereof, deliver
up safely into his hands all such books, papers, parchments and other
things that were in his custody. And be it further enacted that he that
shall not resign and deliver the books, papers, parchments and other
things above specified within one month as he is appointed shall forfeit "
as provided. It was enacted that a solemn profession before a judge
should be accounted of as full force as an oath.
At the close of the code appears these words : " These are the laws
that concern all men, and these are the penalties for the transgression
thereof, which by common consent are ratified and adopted throughout
the whole colony; and otherwise than thus what is herein forbidden,
all men may walk as their consciences persuade them, every one in the
name of God; and let the saints of the Most High walk in the
This government was the first one in these Plantations to have a judiciary or
magistracy troverning in only civil things. All its features were adopted, except-
ing that of the chief officer. This may have been the result of Coddington's
friends' pledge to vote only for him for Gov. or Judge. ^Historical
Discourse, by Hon. Job Durfee, R. I. Rec, i, 191-208. "R. I. Rec, Dr.
PROVIDENCE AND RHODE ISLAND PLANTATIONS. 8i
colony without molestation, in the name of Jehovah their God, forever
and amen."*
The form and character of this government was the exact antipode
of Coddington's. The members of Coddington's court were selected
by a very limited franchise. The members of his court were, up to
nearly this time, no more enlightened with the belief in the rights of
others to rule or to enjoy their opinions than were their Massachusetts
brethren. They, like them, had removed not because they disavowed
the doctrine of coercion, but because they did not like themselves to be
the subjects of its application. All those who went off to Newport and
installed Coddington to judge with double voice took the Bible as their
code of State. Only through the stern experience that came to them
after they became Baptists or Quakers did they receive into their minds
the sunlight from the despised doctrine. " They possessed not that clear
appreciation of the great democratic principles of civil and religious
liberty "° that was possessed by their despised brethren. In Gorton
and Williams Church and State were distinct, but in Coddington they
were at this time confounded.'
This Assembly has been called the Union Assembly, for in this all
the principal ones of Newport and Coddington's followers joined the
chartered government; the most prominent of them, his late Elder
Coggershall, given the office of President or Governor and each of
most of his other leaders given place. While this effected the recon-
ciliation of the leading ones of Coddington to the government, it was
a disappointment to Coddington, who was in this for the third time
left out of office. He departed for Boston.
The penalty prescribed by Massachusetts to the owners of Shawomet
to, at the peril of their lives, venture upon any portion of it was, not-
withstanding Parliament's orders, unrevoked; but relying upon the
observance of the orders, some of them, now " in anticipation of the
joys long hoped for, peace in their possessions," returned to their home.
"Having now received our orders," August 8th, 1647, they chose a
town council, but they were not allowed to settle down in the place.
There were forty years more of hardships and struggles for them
before they were left in peace. Massachusetts now assumed to dispose
of the land at Warwick to her subjects, and granted ten thousand acres
to settle upon, provided government over it and sent Benedict Arnold
and other of their officers to apprehend the bodies of the owners, to
appraise damages against them and demand satisfaction.* Upon this
Governor Coggershall went to Warwick, and in the name of his govern-
ment forbade the Massachusetts su'ojects to intermeddle; whereupon
the Massachusetts Court resolved to again send forces against them,
but deferred it until more should be learned from their foreign agents,
they yet failing to observe that they had no right outside the territory
limited to them in their patent °
We have in previous pages answered the absurd accusation that
Gorton or the people of Warwick would not have a government until
by a charter. He was the leading organizer, and moVe than one-half
of those who became the original owners or settlers of Warwick were
members of the model civil government now adopted by the charter
government, and for their active promotion of it and participation
m It were denied the island.
The Providence settlers composed their difficulties by arbitration, and

were for eight years without a judiciary." The first six men of War-
wick had scarcely need of even their provision for " loving arbitration "
for the settling of their difficulties; for but nine months were allowed
them there; busy months in building three or four little houses before
they were with the six of Providence carried off to Boston jail;"* and
from that time on, after they formed a government, or for more than
thirty years thereafter, Warwick was but the camp and fort for soldiers
and the pillage ground of the subjected Indians. The few " habitations
were destroyed by fire and otherwise," and the few once its inhabitants
were scattered and had no place for a government, scarcely even a
roofed dwelling.

A year had passed since the last Assembly and the Commissioners of
Portsmouth and Newport had not composed their difficulties. Codding-
ton and his remaining adherents were trying yet to enforce the edicts
of this court over the whole island, and left nothing unturned to destroy
the government which had been established under the Charter.* The citi-
zens of Portsmouth had again in town meeting expressed their independ-
ence of the Newport men's rule over them, and ordered the clerk to re-
announce their resolution to act in the approaching General Assembly

*We omitted to state that half of the men captured by the Mass. troops had not
seen Shawomet, but were residents of Providence ; were either taken by the
troops at Providence as they passed through it, or at Shawomet after having fled
there before the advancing soldiers. Cotton said : " This company was made
up of those friends of Mr. Williams." They were members of Williams' church,
of other churches and of no churches, whom Gorton never disturbed in their
religion, but to whom, as to others, he preached the fundamental truths of the
Christian religion when they chose to listen ; which was crime sufficient, so then
considered. " Gorton, desiring to speak his mind, fully set it forth as the mind
of himself and his company, whereof those of Mr. Williams, his friends were no
small part," Cottor, Nar, Club, ii, 16, 17. To Williams' addresses to Cotton,
the declared inefificiericy of such means, the branding of such methods, and
censure of them — " There hath been no small noise of Master Gorton and hi
friends being disciplined, or as the Papists call it, disciplined in the school ot
the New Eng. churches. It is worth the inquiry to ask what conviction and con-
version hath all these hostilities, captivatings, courtings. imprisonments, chain-
ings, banishments, etc., wrought," and " when such tinriehteous and most un-
christian proceedings are exercised against them." Cotton defends proceedings
by accusing Gorton, not only of heresy, but uniustly of wrongfully taking the
Indian lands. Nar. Club, iv, 22(), 228. Gorton did not accept the mission to the
Eng. government on, as his decriers stated, his sole account, as we have seen
from the resolutions of the Aug. 9, 1645, Assembly sessions; and Winslow, in
describing his Parliamentary services, writes : " Gorton also appearing in defense
of Rhode Island, Providence Plantations," and his petition contained no plea for
redress for losses nor for injuries done him or anyone, but that the Mass. magis-
trates be restrained from exercising authority beyond their chartered jurisdiction,
and that the rights of the natives and the natural and chartered rights of the

which had been continually growing, now became so severe as to
threaten the existence of the colony.'
Gorton was upon his return voyage to the colonies relieved from his
former long route via Manhattan by the order of the Parliament Com-
missioners to the Massachusetts Court that " we do also require that
you suffer the said Gorton and company to pass through any part of
that territory which is under your jurisdiction, toward the said tract
of land, without molestation, they demeaning themselves civilly, any
former sentence of expulsion or otherwise notwithstanding."* His
safety was also further provided by the Earls of Northumberland
and Warwick, by a passport or letter from them directed to the Massa-
chusetts Magistrates, especially commanding their obedience to the
issued orders. Under these circumstances he had taken passage direct
for Boston, where he arrived on May loth, 1648. This was in season
for him to be in Providence at the opening of the nearing Assembly
to testify in impending suits against Coddington and take part in the
election. When he landed in Boston the Massachusetts Court was in
session. The success achieved by Gorton in his mission made him
the most popular and likely candidate for the Presidency of the char-
tered government. This, together with the evidences which he possessed
of Coddington's treason papers and colonies records, the latter sent to
the aid of the Massachusetts agents in England, which, if laid before
the Assembly, would render Coddington's chances of election certainly
fatal, impelled the Massachusetts Magistrates promptly, in defiance of
the order to them from the Parliament Commissioners and in collusion
with Coddington who was with them in Boston, to cause Gorton's
arrest and detention.
The General Assembly of the Providence Plantations met on May
l6th, 1648, the regular sessions at Providence. They at once appointed
Rufus Barton, of Warwick, and Capt. Jeremy Clark, of Newport, as
delegates to proceed with their protest to the Massachusetts Court
against its high-handed proceedings. The Massachusetts Court, which
was apprised of the Assembly's movements, avoided a hearing of the
delegates and further delayed the matter by adjourning before the
delegates' arrival." The delegates, hearing when they reached Dedham
that the court had adjourned, wrote to Winthrop in terms becomingly
severe yet deferential, asking leave to wait upon him with the request
which they had in charge.
The Assembly resolved itself, as was the customary procedure, into
a Court of Election and the election of State officers followed. It
appears certain that either Capt. Clark or Gorton were the candidates
for President of the government party. Coddington was put in nomi-
nation by the opposing party, with the result that the latter was,
although not present to meet the charges and evidences of disloyalty
that were lodged with the court against him, and was not present during
any of the Assembly's sessions, declared elected. Jeremy Clark, Roger
Williams, William Baulston and John Smith were chosen Assistants.
people of the Providence Plantations be regarded." The Parliament Commission-
ers also commended the wisdom and moderation of his plea. They say : " "^'ou
may take notice that we found the petitioners' aim and desire in the resul* of
it v;as not so much a reparation for what had passed as a settling their habita-
tions for the future under that government by a charter of civil incorporation,
which was heretofore granted them by ourselves. The Narragansett Bay was
divers years inhabited by those of Providence, Portsmouth and Newport, who aie
interested in the complaint, and that the same is v;holIy without the bounds of
the Mass. patent." Lord's and Commons' Reeds. Collects., previously cited.

84 LIFE AND TIMES OF SAMUEL GORTON.
Immediately upon the announcement of the result of the election, upon
divers bills of complaint against Coddington and Baulston, their mem-
bership of the body was suspended. They never appeared to defend
themselves or attempt the impossible task of clearing themselves of the
charges against them, and were never engaged nor installed in office."
Capt. Jeremy Clark of Newport, who was a leader of the liberal party
upon the island, was deputed President, and he, with the other officers
chosen and engaged, was engaged and installed in the office of President
to serve until another one be installed ; but as none other was installed
during that term, he only was the President for that term' and the
third President or Governor of the Providence Plantations under the
charter [Williams and Coggershall having been the first and second],
or the second President since the principal Coddington followers joined
them. It was evident that Coddington was not chosen or " elected " to
be President, for the immediate poll of these same men showed their
majority adverse to him and suspending him. The result of very similar
conditions in the future reasonably assures us that they intended the
office for Gorton at this election. In preventing Coddington's installa-
tion and preserving the government from the perversion for which he
was conspiring, they accomplished much, considering the crooked meth-
ods in operation against them. John Clark was a member of this
Assembly, an opponent of Coddington, never having since 1640 accepted
an office under him.
The Massachusetts Court on the 13th of the month reconsidered what
they had done, took up the letter from the Earls which Gorton had
presented to them, and believing " that it could be no prejudice to our
liberty, and our Commissioners being still attending the Parliament,
it might much have disadvantaged our cause and his expedition if the
Earl had heard that we should have denied him so small a request " as
to obey his or the other Parliament Commissioners' instructions, " re-
called their former order," permitted Gorton's release by only the cast-
ing vote of the Governor — so late that one from Boston could not reach
Providence during the Assembly's sessions and election — and gave him
the farcical grant of " a week's liberty to provide for his departure."
Portsmouth secured from the May Assembly the passage of its orig-
inal act regarding the courts, that they be organized and held in each
town separately ; the courts of each town to be composed of six men
of the town. These local judges were also the Commissioners or
Representatives of their towns, and together constituted the General
Assembly. From them each town chose an Assistant, who with the
President composed the General Court and Senate. The island was
freed of any plausible claims of Coddington's. The first bill of indict-
ment, or " Presentation of the Grand Jury," that was drawn up in the
colony v;as against Coddington and was presented at this session.*
Nine days after this, on May 25th, he writes to Governor Winthrop
of Massachusetts that Capt. Partridge and Baulston and himself were
in disgrace with the people of Providence and Warwick and Gorton's
adherents on the island, and that he fears " Gorton will be a thorn in
their and our sides."* And Williams a few weeks afterwards writes
that the colony was in the throes of " civil dissensions," the President
Jeremy Clark as the Captain of the Providence and Gorton party in
defense of the chartered government, and Alexander Partridge as
them; they were never invested with authority, and were not until 1654 restored
as members of the government. 'Callender, R. I. H. S. Collec, iv, 268.

Captain of the Pawtuxet and Coddington party arrayed against them."
In what appears to have been a short conflict, in which but one was
killed but many wounded, Partridge's forces were defeated; and Cod-
dington, after again writing to Massachusetts for help, was obliged
to flee from the vengeance of the people and take refuge in Taunton.'
On August 15th William Arnold wrote to the Massachusetts govern-
ment informing them that Pomham, one of many Massachusetts subjects
vvfho were still maintained by Massachusetts upon the land at Warwick,
killing the cattle, entering the homes by force and committing other acts
of violence upon such of the owners as ventured there," had been
warned to the court at Plymouth and appealed to Massachusetts to
have the case tried by them, as the interpreters to the Plymouth Court
were all of the Gorton party, and as Mr. Brown, one to try the case,
favored the company of Gorton and was very friendly with him. "Also
being desirous to acquaint your worships of my fear that if there be
not a speedier course taken the court will be deprived of jurisdiction
in these parts by those who claim that it is under the Providence
patent.'" He complained also of the trespass of such as returned to
Warwick or to what he claimed were the Pawtuxans' lands, and on
August 2ist, Massachusetts, in response to this and in defiance of the
Parliament orders to let these people freely live " without extending
their jurisdiction or otherwise disquieting them," again sent their offi-
cers to Warwick to assess damages and demand redress.
In the September following, Coddington applied, he said, " in behalf
of our island," to the Commissioners of the United Colonies to be
received into a perpetual league with them. The masses of the people
of the island had not authorized him to petition for them. His was
like Arnold's early petition " in behalf of Providence ; " it represented
less than a dozen individuals besides himself." The application was
refused by the United Commissioners out of respect to the mandates
of the Parliament Commissioners. The result of Gorton's efforts now
saved Coddington and the island subjection to Massachusetts." Codding-
ton then personally presented himself at the court of Plymouth to
subject himself and the island to them. Here he was met by represen-
tatives of the loyal party, Holden and Warner, both from Warwick,,
who declaimed against Plymouth receiving him or accepting any pre-
tended subjection of the island. "They showed," Williams says, "to
the satisfaction of the court that it would be a violation of their
charter,"* and Plymouth refused him. Coddington in his petition to
Plymouth said that Portsmouth inclined to it, when it was only Baulston
of Portsmouth, who represented only himself, that inclined to it. A
majority of the inhabitants cf Portsmouth were among those whom
Coddington termed " Gorton's adherents on the island." Some of the
exiles from Shawomet to Portsmouth ever remained there. Half of
the Portsmouth Representatives to the last Assembly were in 1639
signers and members with Gorton to the civil compact and model gov-
ernment. Neither Coddington's nor Baulston's course were approved
by a respectable fraction of the inhabitants of either town or the
island.
At this time the opposition of Codington and his supporters and his
course with the other colonies brought the government so near to the
verge of its existence that an arbitration of the difficulties was proposed

by both the Massachusetts Court and Williams.* In a letter regarding
this, Williams says he was bold to suggest arbitration, to which Provi-
dence and Mr. Easton, though opposed to it, yielded, a reference for
settlement to John Winthrop, Jr., and some other friends.' Arnold,
in his history of Rhode Island, says that " had they submitted " a settle-
ment of the difficulties to arbitration as proposed, " the charter would
have been virtually annulled by the act of its holders; the schemes of
the surrounding colonists to appropriate the rest of the State might
have proved successful. The Providence Plantations would soon have
been absorbed by Massachusetts and Connecticut." Happily, the War-
wick delegatets interposed and prevented it.
But the Ship of State had yet greater tempests to encounter. Cod-
dington, encouraged and aided by Massachusetts, and intending by
every means, if possible, to rule, had in the month before the Assembly
and election provided that " financial resources for his occasions "
should in June be at his call at Boston; and on September 13th, 1648,
he wrote to Winthrop: "Yours conveyed by Mr. Baulston to Taunton
received. I shall suddenly leave the island for England by the next,
if God will, and shall be glad and ready to serve you there." On Jan-
uary 29th a vessel sailed on which he took passage."
A special General Assembly was called after Coddington's departure,
and was held at Warwick in March, the beginning of the new year
1649, the records of which are missing, but we learn that the President,
Capt. Jeremy Clark, was yet upon field duty and not present at the
opening of the sessions. Williams was solicitated to be present as
moderator, but he did not attend; yet an act of oblivion was passed
which he had recommended." The charters for the towns provided
for in a previous act, were issued, or re-issued, at this session.'
The many orders from Parliament upon the Massachusetts Magis-
trates to repeal the proscriptive acts against Gorton and others were
unheeded. Randall Holden, having business in Boston which required
his presence there, petitioned the Massachusetts Court that the sentence
of banishment against him might be revoked in order that he might
personally attend to it. He was informed that an attorney could attend
to the business as well as himself.'

The conditions had not by Coddington going to England been changed. Cod-

than Jeremy Clark had been installed President, and, as he was on military duty,

sions. *R. I. Rec, i, 214. Arnold's Hist. R. I., i, 226. 'Mass.
PROVIDENCE AND RHODE ISLAND PLANTATIONS. 87
On May 22d, 1649, the General Assembly and Court of Election was
held at Warwick ; Williams acted as moderator. John Smith, of War-
wick, was chosen President. Thomas Olney of Providence, John Sand-
ford of Portsmouth, John Clark of Newport, and Samuel Gorton of
Warwick were chosen Assistants and were engaged. Smith and Gorton
declined, and for this, as the law was, were fined, but they served and
their fines were remitted. This election was a complete, though brief,
triumph for the liberal or government party. Warrants were issued
by the President of the colony and served by the Constable of Provi-
dence on the Arnolds to appear at the General Court for trial.^ The
suits pending against Coddington were, on account of his absence in
England, deferred to a later session. There was unobstructed working
order in the government for a season; the people happily and profitably
employed, required little legislation. A massive stone garrison house
that had been planned by President Smith was erected by him at War-
wick, both as a fortress and his residence.* The government, Williams
says, was in complete order. The encroachments of the adjoining
colonies were and had been for some time met by an effectual resist-
ance, and judgments had been obtained in the courts and executions
enforced by a number of the injured Providence and Warwick people
against Arnold and other Pawtuxet pretended Massachusetts subjects.*
On May 22d, 1650, the General Assembly and Court of Election was
held at Newport. Nicholas Easton was elected President. William
Fields of Providence, John Porter of Portsmouth, John Clark of New-
port, and John Wickes of Warwick were chosen Assistants and all
were engaged. The Assembly received peremptory orders from the
Bay not to prosecute any suits against the men of Pawtuxet who had
refused to pay taxes, accompanied by threats of intervention.' The
short but a year, of peace was expelled. Supplies of powder and
magazines and of arms proportioned to the population of the place were
ordered established in every town of the Providence Plantations;' and
a special convention of delegates from all the towns was called by the
President to consider the invasion of their territory.'
Renewed life was at this time given to the agressive movements of
Plymouth and Massachusetts and to the dissensions which had been
maintained by the Pawtuxans and by Coddington, by rumors of the
latter's designs on the colony and the changes encouraging to them, which
had taken place in England. When Coddington arrived there the King
was beheaded, the Puritans were in power, the House of Lords and the
Parliament Commissioners who had granted the charter to Williams
and the petition to Gorton had been abolished by Cromwell; the Com-
monwealth declared, and the supreme power vested in a State Council;
many things favoring Plymouth, Massachusetts and Coddington, and
a reputed scheme of the latter to make himself life Governor of the
island. Plymouth and Massachusetts, encouraged by these prospects,
renewed their disputed claims to Warwick and Providence before the
Commissioners of the United Colonies. Massachusetts passed an act
to annex Warwick and Pawtuxet to Suffolk, one of their own counties,
and again sent officers to bring the people there to Boston for trial.'
On September 5th the United Commissioners met at Hartford. A
letter to them from Winslow was read, requesting them to engage
another agent in his place and declining their further service.'" The

Commissioners ordered twenty well-armed men sent into the Narra-
gansett country/ and a company of twenty others from Massachusetts
soon followed/ A letter was received by the Commissioners from
President Easton, protesting in the name of the government of the
Providence Plantations against the war they were waging, and declar-
ing his government and Warwick, where Gorton lived, to be bound
mutually to support one another.*
At the following October sessions of the Providence Plantations it
was, on account of the difficulties and dangers threatening them, ordered
to raise £200 to send Williams to England.
The Pavvtuxet claimants now, 1650, entered upon the Suffolk records
at Boston what they called a combination agreement to a line described
between Providence and their claimed purchase. No signatures are
upon it, nor any certification of authority nor of adoption. It had never
been agreed to by the town council or people of Providence, and never
was entered upon the records of Providence. A paper purporting to
be a copy, bearing the date of July T.y, 1640, and thirty-six names, all
written on it by a town clerk twenty-two years after, and marked
" copied 1662" by him and found among ancient papers, has been
printed in the Providence Early Records.*
Coddington, on March 6th, 1650, applied to the English Council of
State for the government of " two small islands called Aquetnet, alias
Rhode Island, and Quinunagate," which his petition stated he had a
right to by discovery and purchase of the Indians and had quietly
enjoyed ever since."* He stated to the council, and showed to them by
Winslow's assertion, that they were not within the patent for Providence
Plantations. Winslow had so stated in his petition and prayed that
they be declared in Plymouth's. An auspicious account of these proceed-
ings reached Coddington's friends in April, and President Easton, who
had for four years now been a member and loyal defender of the chartered
government, abandoned it. The Providence Plantations were not repre-
sented in the case of Coddington before the English Council, and nothing
having been produced by Winslow showing that the desire of Codding-
ton should not be granted, a resolution to grant him the commission
was by their vote, April 3d, 1651, adopted.
We do not find records of the annual May Assembly and Election,
but it appears from other data that it was at the regular time held, and
that Roger Williams acted in the place of the President as moderator
of its sessions; for a letter was at this time directed by the Massachu-
setts Court to him, again forbidding the collection of taxes from
Arnold, Cole, Carpenter and others of the Pawtuxet party, Massachu-
setts' pretended subjects.* Samuel Gorton was chosen President. We
do not find who were chosen Assistants. The records of the sessions
were destroyed by the Coddington faction, and we have only such infor-
mation regarding it as is obtained from other sources. The names of
the President and Commissioners or Representatives appear in records
following.' That the people should now choose Gorton to lead them
through the present complex and future threatening difficulties, and
that he should accept a so arduous and hazardous and unpropitious an
undertaking, is an expression of the deep-grounded faith of the people
in his faithfulness, zeal and steadfastness, and a monument to the
undaunted courage of their indubitable champion.

The following copy of the Council's resolution was, with a letter
from Winslow, received by Massachusetts about the first of August:
"Whereas, by a late Act of Parliament of October last, it is granted
to the Council of State to have power and authority over all such
islands and all other places in America as have been at the cost and
settled by the people and authority of this nation, and thereon in any
of the said islands and places to institute government and to grant
commission or commissions to such person or persons as they shall
think fit, and to do all just things and to use all lav/ful means for the
benefit and preservation of said plantations and islands in peace and
safety until the Parliament shall take other and fuller orders there; any
letters patent, or other authority formerly granted or given to the con-
trary notwithstanding, do make and constitute William Coddington to
be Governor of the said island (Rhode Island and Conanicut Island).
He to be assisted by counsellors not exceeding the number of six, nomi-
nated by the people and approved by him."* Coddington arrived upon
the island about the first of September."
The Commissioners of the United Colonies met September 4th at
New Haven. They had the letter from Winslow read, and expressed
their regrets at losing his further service.^" They then directed a letter
to the island informing Coddington they were pleased that the Parlia-
ment Council had committed the government of the island to his hands,
and desired to receive assurance from him that those who had taken
refuge from their jurisdiction would be delivered to them.' They
received a letter from William Arnold containing the following: "I
thought it my duty to give intelligence unto the much honored court
of that which I understand is now working here in these parts, so that
if it be the will of God an evil may be prevented before it comes to too
great a head, viz. : Whereas Mr. Coddington have gotten a charter of
Rhode Island and Conimacuke Island to himself,^ he have broken the
force of their charter that went under the name of Providence, because
he have gotten away the greater part of that colony.' Now these com-
pany of the Gortonists that live at Shawomout and that company of
Providence are gathering of £200 to send Mr. Roger Williams unto the
Parliament. They of Shawomout have given £100 already and there be
some of Providence that have given £10 and £20 a man, to help it
forward with speed. It is a very great pity such a company as they
are. There may be some mischief and trouble upon the whole country
if their project be not prevented in time, for under the pretense of
liberty of conscience about these parties there com.es to live all the scum,
the runaways of the country. They are making haste to send Mr.
Williams away. Some of them of Shawomout that crieth out much

90 LIFE AND TIMES OF SAMUEL GORTON.
A letter from V/arwick was read complaining of the " oppressions
and wrongs amounting to great damage since we first possessed the
place, being forced thereby to seek to that honorable State of old
England for relief, which did unequitably draw great charge upon us
to the further impoverishing of our estates; and finding favor for
redress we were willing to waive for the time [in regard to the great
troubles and employment that then lay upon the State] all other losses,
statute wrongs, we then underwent, so that we might be replanted in
and upon that our purchased possessions, and enjoy them peaceably
for time to come, without disturbance or molestation. Since our
gracious grant from the honorable Parliament in replanting us in this
place, we have been and daily are pressed with intolerable grievances
to the eating up of our labors and wasting of our estates, making our
lives, together with our wives and children, bitter and incomparable.
Insomuch that groaning under our burdens we are constrained to make
our addresses to that honorable Parliament and State once again to
make our just complaint against our causeless molestors, who by them-
selves and their agents are the only cause of this our re-uttering our
distressed condition. May it please, therefore, this honorable Assembly
to take notice of this our solemn intelligence given unto you as the most
public authorized society appertaining unto and interested in the United
Colonies whom our complaints do concern, that we are now preparing
ourselves with all convenient speed for old England, to make our griev-
ances known again to that State, which falls upon us by reason that
the order of the Parliament of England concerning us hath not been
observed nor the enjoyment of our privileges permitted to us ; in that
we have been prohibited and charged to acquit this place since the
order of Parliament given out and known to the country ; in that we
have had warrants sent to submit us to Massachusetts Courts, and
officers employed amongst us to that purpose; in that these barbarian
Indians about us with the evil minded English mixed, under pretense
of some former personal subjection to the government of Massachusetts,
cease not to kill our cattle, ofYer violence to our families and vilify
authority of Parliament vouchsafed to us ; in that we are restrained
and have been this seven or eight years passed of common commerce'
in the country, and that only for matters of conscience.'"
This letter from Warwick induced Massachusetts to lay before the
United Commissioners a paper alleging that what she had done had
been done with the Commissioners' approval. The Plymouth Commis-
sioners in attendance declared that which the Massachusetts Magis-
trates claimed was done by Mr. Winslow and Mr. Collyer, concerning
the resignation to them of any of Plymouth's interests in Warwick or
Providence, was not in the power of Mr. Winslow or Mr, Collyer to
resign, nor of Massachusetts to receive; and that Mr. Winslow and
Mr. Collyer had several times publicly denied that they either did or
intended to resign any part of the jurisdiction of Plymouth to the
Magistrates of Massachusetts. And what right or authority the govern-
ment oi Massachusetts had to send for Samuel Gorton inhabiting so far
out of their jurisdiction they understood not. That the Plymouth
Commissioners dia not refer the matter to the determination of the
rest of the Commissioners at Boston; and what authentic writings the
Governor of Plymouth signed the Massachusetts Commissioners did
not show. If they meant a writing signed by the Governor and some
particular persons, the Commissioners of Plymouth cannot own it,
has very much of a Samuel Gorton ring to it." Dr. Henry E. Turner. R. I.

having particularly and in the Court of Plymouth protested against it.*
The Massachusetts Commissioners, remembering the order of the
Parliament Commissioners that the bounds of a patent should be set
out by a jury of uninterested persons, and that all inhabitants within
the limits so set forth should fall under the government established
by the patent, and that the resignation claimed was not with the full
consent of the inhabitants of Warwick who pretended an interest in
Williams' patent, and would not by any peaceable means be brouglit
under the Massachusetts government, and being desirous to prevent
inconvenience and to settle peace, resolved to relinquish the rights and
title they had and the lands of Warwick to Plymouth, that they engage
to administer justice therein to the inhabitants. That means be used to
reduce Warwick to submission to the government of Plymouth. . There-
fore, the subjected Indians and officers of Massachusetts were sent with
all convenient speed to Plymouth's assistance.'
The Massachusetts patent gave her three miles south of Charles river
or the southwest point of it, and v/estward indefinitely on that line which
is the present north line of Connecticut and Rhode Island, and by no
possible construction could it be tortured to mean anything south of it.
The grant to Plymouth gave them no right of territory west of the east
shore of Narragansett Bay. But suppose Plymouth had grounds for
such a claim, by what rule of law could she divest herself of any
territory pertaining to her patent except by the surrender of it to the
sovereign authority from which she derived it? And supposing she
had that power, how could Massachusetts, whose existence depended
on her patent, which expressly defined her limits and gave no power to
expand them, pretend as in the case of Warwick and Providence, on
the plea of voluntary subjection and release by Plymouth, and after-
wards, as in Narragansett, on the plea of conquest, to exercise sover-
eign power outside the limits of her patent?'"
There was during this year another display of the intolerance of the
Massachusetts authorities, this time against some members of the loyal
party at Newport; the whipping on September 6th of Obadiah Holmes,
one of the best and most respected of its inhabitants. " Upon the Lord's
day, July 20th, at the home of one of the brethren whom they went to
visit," in the town of Lynn, Mass., John Clark, pastor, James Crandall
and Mr. Holmes were taken upon a warrant, brought before the
" ordnary " and cast into prison " for drawing others aside after their
erroneous judgment." Holmes was fined £30, Clark £20, Crandall
£5, and on refusal to pay they were " to be well whipped." Some
indulgent and tender-hearted friends, Clark tells us, contrary to his
judgment, paid his fine. Thus some one paid the fine of Crandall and
proposed to pay that of Holmes. Holmes had earlier, while at Ply-
mouth, been presented to the court there for holding religious meetings
and took refuge on the island. He was a man of high character and
importance, a member of the Newport church to which he afterward
succeeded Clark as pastor. He would not consent to the paying of his
fine and was whipped thirty stripes.'
A General Assembly session of the Providence Plantations began
on November 4th at Providence, over which Samuel Gorton presided,
and at which Roger Williams, John Clark, Robert Williams, son of
Roger Williams, John Wickes, John Greene, John Smith, Robert Porter
and others, a majority of the loyal members, were present. The time
of this session was " the most eventful era in Rhode Island history,
and this session of the Assembly one of the most important it ever

held. Upon the success of its measures depended the preservation or
dismemberment of the colony of the present State."
It was asserted by Massachusetts and the Pawtuxet party, but it was
not, as will see, admitted, as the editor of the printed colonial records
states, that the Council of State's resolution had vitiated the charter.
The leading men of the colony were present' at this Assembly, and
they promptly and emphatically expressed their confidence in the charter
and government in the following resolution :° " That we do profess
ourselves unanimously to stand imbodied and incorporated as before,
by virtue of our charter granted unto us by the honorable State of old
England, and thereby do according to our legal and settled order
choose and appoint our officers, institute laws according to the consti-
tution of the place and capacity of our present condition, prosecuting,
acting and executing in all matters and causes for the doing of justice,
preservation of peace and maintaining of all civil rights between man
and man, according to the honorable authority and true intent of our
aforesaid charter." Arnold, Baulston and Torey, leading men of the
island, afterwards [in 1660] addressed a communication to the British
government, in which they say " that by virtue of the charter of 1643-4
the government of the colony has ever since been to this time main-
tained." It is. Judge Durfee says, the same corporate body which has
perpetuated its existence by accepting and adopting the changes in its
constitution up to the present day.'
The £200 voted at a former session to send Williams to England, the
Warwick people having, as William Arnold complained, immediately
raised the one-half, being now available, Williams was commissioned
as the agent of the chartered government to England, to depart imme-
diately. The majority of the people of the island and the loyal people
of Newport, whose number there largely exceeded Coddington's
" freemen," had selected Clark to secure the repeal of the council's
resolution, and he sailed with Williams.
There were good reasons, many thought, why it was advisable to have
a new charter, among them, for more definitely locating the boundary
lines, the present charter bounding only thus : " Northward and north-
east on the patent of Massachusetts and southeast on Plymouth patent,"
etc. ; for a constitutionel guarantee of religious freedom, the silence
upon religious matters observed in the present charter, giving the
people liberty to govern themselves, although the best that could be
secured when it was granted, not precluding religious discrimination
being introduced under it, if the party to this obtained control of the
government, which prospect seemed not altogether improbable; and too,
since the Parliament Commissioners who granted the charter had been
removed, Charles the First had been brought to the block, England
declared a Commonwealth, and Parliament had appointed a Council of
State for the affairs of government, a charter of later authority was
desirable.
Through most intense broils, during the disruption of the union by
Coddington and the threatened invasion by Massachusetts' and Ply-
mouth's ready and hostile forces, imperiled through intrigue, and beset
with the lawless acts of the Arnolds and Pawtuxans, and in the midst
of an insurrection inspired and supported by these parties and factions,
Gorton, without the valued presence of Williams and Clark during their
necessary absence, by his prudence, fearlessness and firmness, held the
despoilers at bay, and well and comparatively peaceably administered
the affairs of this young republic. Winslow was wise in his prediction

in 1644, when Gorton was chosen a Magistrate at Portsmouth, that the
church magistracy had much to fear from it, but erred in his prediction
that " full and free toleration of religion would eat out the power of
government." Unlikely did he then think that a government would be
established and sustained by the free suffrage of a people enjoying the
legal right of religious freedom ; and that Gorton would be selected
for the leading trust in it, while himself would depart to not return,
severing his connection with the colonies. One of his last official com-
munications was to Massachusetts during this period of emotion, to
inform them of the English Council's pleasure that they surrender their
patent.' " These things,"' a petition of the Massachusetts Court reads,
" make us doubt and fear what is intended toward us." " This was,"
Palfrey says, " a time of more than common sensibility in Massachu-
setts."° A joint effort of the colonies was now, through Massachusetts
relinquishing her long asserted right and title in Narragansett and
engaging to aid in enforcing the claims to it of Plymouth and others,
resolved upon to subdue the Providence Plantations. The embarrass-
ments of the colony and the burden or responsibility resting upon those
to whom its affairs were entrusted increased daily. Yet through the
storm and " over troublesome waves the little ship of State sailed during
the year 165 1, tossed by billows on every side, but still bearing a crew
of valiant men, whose courage and wisdom was equal to the emer-
gency."'
The facts, contraray to the representation upon which the English
Council's resolution was based, were quickly shown to them, convincing
them that they had acted under misapprehensions and restraining their
further action, for it does not appear from their journal that any
Commission upon the order was made out to Coddington. He, after
waiting in vain for it over a year, or until April 14th, 1652, a few days
before Gorton's term as President of the colony expired, signed as an
expedient and last contention, a paper acknowledging the interests
of the original purchasers in the island, and assayed to assume its
government. As when in earlier days a significant paper was sent to
" the brethren at Portsmouth," this acknowledgment gained the support
of many of the inhabitants of the island, all of whom were without land
titles, daily fearing that they would be deprived of their possessions.
In the acknowledgment he states that the land had since its purchase
remained in his hands and had been a great source of trouble.*
On May i8th the General Assembly and Court of Election of the
Providence Plantations convened at Warwick. The President, Samuel
Gorton, was moderator of its sessions. John Smith of Warwick was
elected President, and Thomas Olney of Providence and Samuel Gorton
of Warwick were chosen Assistants for the ensuing year. The island
did not send representatives to this Assembly.
This session passed an Act for the Emancipation of Slaves: The
iirst legislative edict of emancipation of slavery that ivas adopted in
America. In this remarkable statute Gorton's literary style is clearly
evident, and he was without doubt its author and principal promoter.'
The Massachusetts Act in the " Body of Liberties " forbade the
bondage of only those who were Massachusetts born. It did not eman-

cipate her slaves.'" The Massachusetts Act of 1646 was the sending
home of a stolen negro/ and did not affect the other slaves they held.
The Gorton Act' abolished life servitude, and it is the only legal enact-
ment abolishing involuntary life servitude that was passed in those
early times in any of the colonies. By its terms all slaves or bondsmen
living in or brought into the colony were ordered to be set free within
ten years. If taken under fourteen, they were to be set free at the a"-e
of twenty-four years, as the manner was with English servants. The
man who would not let them go free, or should sell them elsewhere
to the end that they might be enslaved to others for a longer time,
should forfeit to the colony forty pounds. The price of a slave then
was but twenty pounds. These early legislators were not sustained in
their advanced humane act, for the colony did, notwithstanding it,
tolerate life ownership or slavery very long afterwards. And one
hundred years thereafter legislators took up the question of the emanci-
pation of slaves just where Gorton had once placed it so long before.
The breaking out at this time of a war between England and Holland
interrupted the commerce between the colony and the Dutch plantations.
William Arnold, Benedict Arnold, William Carpenter, Robert Cole,
the Massachusetts subjected agents, and others of the Pawtuxet claim-
ants living on lands on the outskirts of Providence and adjoining
Warwick, claimed to live and claimed ownership both in Providence
and Warwick, and injected themselves into the town councils of both
places and into the colony government in support of their land schemes
and the claims of Massachusetts and Coddington. The latter was again
a refugee from the colony, the people having rebelled against the
government he but a month ago attempted to organize on the island,
and he having fled again to Boston, again taking the island records."
On July 29th the towns were ordered to select judicious men for a
General Court called to transcribe letter and instructions to the colon^r's
agent in England. The order is signed Samuel Gorton, Deputy Presi-
dent.*
The next sessions of the Assembly was on October 28th at Provi-
dence. The President, John Smith, was moderator. They transcribed
a letter to Williams in England encouraging him in his work of
" unweaving such irregular devices wrought by others amongst us as
have clothed us with so sad events as the subjecting of some amongst
us to other jurisdictions;" in the work of "preventing the approach
of Massachusetts and Plymouth upon us; they beginning to unite in
one against us, such as before in some respects were separate ; " and
in the work of upholding the charter and government ; and suggesting
that if it be the pleasure of the Council to appoint him as Governor for
one year it would establish for the present the government until the
question of jurisdiction and chartered rights could be settled, so the
government be honorably put upon the place and much weight for
hereafter added in the constant and successive derogations of the
government. It is the John Greene of Warwick, recorder, whose name
is signed to this letter.'

The Pawtuxet men and Massachusetts subjects, calling themselves
Commissioners " lovingly chosen from Providence and from Warwick,''
were on hand at Providence during the Assembly's sessions, and imme-
diately drew up a letter from Providence," complaining that the Warwick
people, President Smith and others in Assembly now at sessions say
that they so " lovingly chosen " " are no lawful committees," and com-
plaining that the letter to Williams in England about their irregular
devices, subjecting to Massachusetts and the sad events thereof, " is a
just cause of offense to them;" and to this letter of complaint they
attach a copy of the letter complained oV
A call for a sessions of the Assembly at Warwick on December 20th
was made by the President John Smith, accompanied with advice for
the members to " keep in order and union till the return of our agent
from England." Without doubt the members who attended the previous
sessions, and who were regularly chosen at the last election, met in
answer to the call and were presided over by President Smith. They
maintained their order and union intact; but members of the Arnold
and Coddington factions, unfairly chosen Commissioners, obtained the
record books and the large part of the records of their rivals' meetings
were removed, preserving those of themselves. According to these
records, so kept until Williams' return and preserved with headin;??,
" The General Court," etc., indicating that they were the government,
the self-styled Commissioners of the Pawtuxet faction met, they say,
in answer to the call of the President." There was but one regular
Commissioner among them. The President or Assembly never acknowl-
edged them as Commissioners or members. It would have been a
surrender to the Arnold and Coddington factions; but the latter sent
word to President Smith that they, being assembled according to his
order, entreated that he would be pleased to afford them his presence;
ordered Hugh Bewett, one of their number whom the Assembly had
indicted for treason, to appear before them for his trial; resolved to
maintain their organization; again entered their protest to the letter
the Assembly in October last sent to Williams,* and ordered President
Smith fined for not meeting with them.'" They record a protest made
by the Commissioners to their usurpations and an appeal from their
acts received by them from the President, John Smith, and from
Samuel Gorton.

issued upon it — The English Council make an order against Coddington's

Finally, an agreement acceptable to a majority of each — the Commis-
sioners, members of the chartered government, and the Pawtuxet party,
and the island party — was effected for replacing the island under the
chartered government, by accepting Easton of the island as President
of the organization under the charter until Williams' return, and staying
the operation in towns of such laws as they had not participated in
enacting; and on May i6th, 1654, a General Assembly of the Providence
Plantations was held at Providence for carrying out these provisions.
Gorton, as an Assistant, was among the members of the chartered
government present, he heading the list of these representatives; and
with them were Pawtuxet and Island men. Officers for all the towns
were for the time being chosen, many of the worn champions of the
government giving up place to secure the desired union and peace.
The important positions held by Gorton and others of Warwick in
the government of the colony during these years of unhappy discussions
indicate the estimation in which they were held by the people. That
the colony was not entirely broken up by its enemies within and without
may be ascribed to the wisdom and prudence of a few men of the loyal
tov/ns who firmly held the reins of government during this period."
During August, 1654, Williams returned. He brought with him letters
from the " Lord Protector " Cromwell confirming the charter. Clark
remained, both to protect the colony's interests and to attend to some
private business.*
Williams, shortly after his return, sent the following to the Pawtuxet
men : " Since I set the first step of an English foot in these wild parts,
and had maintained a chargable and hazardous correspondence with
the barbarians, and spent almost five years* time with the State of
England to keep off the rage of English against us, what have I reaped
of the root of being the stepping stone of so many families and towns
about us but grief and sorrow and bitterness? I have been charged
with folly for that freedom and liberty which I have always stood for:
I say liberty and equality both in lands and governm.ent. I have been
blamed for parting with Mooshassuck and afterwards Pawtuxet, which
were mine own as truly as any man's coat upon his back. I am told
that your opposites thought on me and provided, as I may say, a sponge
to wipe off your scores of debt in England, but that it was obstructed
by yourselves, who rather meditated on m.eans and new agents to be
sent over to cross what Mr. Clark and I obtained. But, gentlemen,
blessed be God, who faileth not, and blessed be his name for his wonder-
ful providence, by which alone this town and colony and that great
cause of truth and freedom of conscience hath been upheld to this day.'"
On August 31st there was an Assembly of the government at War-
wick. A full representation was present from all the towns, and an
engagement for readmitting the island to the government under the
authority of the charter was signed by all of them. They ordered a
" Court of Election to be held upon Tuesday, ye 12th of ye next month,
and to be kept at Warwick, which officers then chosen shall be engaged
and stand til ye Court of Election in May next."
A General Assembly and Court of Election was held the 12th of the
next month and Williams was chosen President, but nearly all of the
other offices were given to members of the Island and Pawtuxet parties.
Among the Representatives and offi.cers v/ere Baulston, Coggershall,
Easton, Harris and Arnold, the latter yet a subject of Massachusetts.

The courts of trials for the mainland towns were continued as they
ever had been, separately; but for the Island towns Newport obtained
the privilege of holding them jointly, which reopened upon the island
the subject of former agitations and difficulties.' Instructions were
sent to Clark; and the letter following, of Williams, in reply to one
received from Vane which chided the Plantations for their dissensions,
v;as approved, subscribed to by the clerk and sent to him: " To Sr. Henry
Vane — Sir, Your letter w^as directed to all and every one of the particu-
lar towns of this Providence Colony. From the first beginning to this
day we reaped the sweet fruits of your constant loving kindness and
favor toward us. Oh Sir, whence then is it that you have bent your
bow and shot your sharp and bitter arrows now against us? Whence
is it that you charge us with dissensions, divisions, etc.? Sir, we humbly
pray your gentle acceptance of our trifold answer. First, we have been
greatly disturbed and distressed by the ambition and covetousness of
some amongst ourselves. We were in complete order until INIr. Codding-
ton, wanting the public self-denying spirit which you commend to us
in your letter, procured by most untrue information a monopolie of
part of the Colony, viz., Rhode Island to himself, and so occasioned
our general disturbance and distractions. Secondly, Mr, Dyre by
private contention with Mr. Coddington, being instructed to bring
from England the letter from the Council of State for our reunion,
he, contrary to the State's instructions and expressions, plungeth himself
and some others in most unnecessary grief, who protest against such
abuse. Sir, our third answer is, that we may not lay all the blame upon
other men's backs, that possibly a sweet cup hath rendered many of
us wanton and too active; for we have long drank of the cup of as
great liberties as any people that we can hear of under the whole heaven.
We have not only been long free — together with all English — from
the iron yokes of wolfish Bishops and their Popish ceremonies — against,
whose cruel oppressions God raised up your noble spirit in Parliament —
but we have sitten quiet and dry from the streams of blood spilt in the
war in our native country. We have not felt the new chain of the
Presbyterian tyrants, nor in this colony have we been consumed with
the overzealous fire of the so-called Godly and Christian magistrates.'"
At the May election, 1655, at Providence, Williams was again chosen
President. On June 28th the Assembly convened at Portsmouth. The
letter from Cromwell, a brief of what his Council had ordered, was
read and r'^corded." Roger Williams, Samuel Gorton, William Baul-
ston and Benedict Arnold were ordered to form and subscribe letters
to John Clark and the Lord Protector.'
The following, under date of November 15th, was sent to Massachu-
setts by Williams: "Concerning four English families at PaAvtuxet,
may it please you to remember that two controversies they have long
under your name maintained with us to a constant obstructing of all
order and authority amongst us. To our camplaint about our lands,
they lately have proposed a willingness to arbitrate, but to obey his
Highness' authority in the charter they say they dare not for your
sakes, though they live not by your laws nor bear your common charge,
nor ours, but evade both under color of your authority. Since it has
pleased first the Parliament and then the Lord Admiral and Committee
for Foreign Plantations, and since the Council of State and lastly the
Lord Protector and his council, to continue us as a distinct colony, yes,
and since it hath pleased yourselves by public letters and references to
us from your public courts, to own the authority of his Highness
"Cromwell's order 1655, Mar. 29. Ri. I. Rec, i, 316. *R. I. Rec, i, 395-

amongsi. us; be pleased to consider how unsuitable it is for yourselves
if these families at Pawtuxet plead the truth — to be the obstruction of
all orderly proceedings amongst us. I grieve that at this instance and
by these ships this cry and the premises should trouble his Highness
and his Council : For the reosonable preventing of which is this humble
address presented."'
The complaints in this letter from the Assembly to John Clark and
complaints from Obadiah Holmes and others against Massachusetts
were presented to Cromwell ; but Capt. Leverett, who was on November
13. 1655, appointed by Massachusetts their agent/ and who had taken
a number of French forts in America, served in the army under Crom-
well and enjoyed much of his favor, prevented his inquiry into the
conduct of Massachusetts; although he admonished her and censured
her for banishing her seducers.*
Both the subjected Whites and the subjected Indians were still
maintained by Massachusetts upon the lands of others, in constant
obstruction to order and the authority of the Providence charter; and
the General Assembly issued a warrant to bring them before the court
to answer the complaints of the inhabitants against them.
Forty-two was the total number of male inhabitants of Providence
at this time. Warwick had thirty-eight, Portsmouth seventy-one, and
Newport had ninety-six " freemen," but it had over three hundred
inhabitants, which was over two-thirds of the population of the whole
colony;' and a more than corresponding amount of wealth and amount
of control in the government. By the " freemen's " act a restrictive
elective franchise, an inheritance from Coddington's government, still
maintained at Newport, the old leaders there, as he had done, kept
themselves in official place, and then, by assaying to represent the whole
and exceeding number of inhabitants, they lead in the management of
the affairs of the colony. Coddington, who during the height of the
commotion upon the island had been obliged to flee for safety from I'le
inhabitants and remain for a time away, had returned to Newport, and
v.as sent as a Representative to the Assembly at its March sessions.
Objections were at once made to his sitting, but they were overruled
" for the comfort of all parties," and as his old leaders had " inconsid-
erately imposed the service upon him." Claims against Coddington
for depredations of his government upon the Dutch Colonies were
brought to the attention of the Assembly by a Council of State letter, in
reply to which they ordered that a letter be sent to Clark manifesting
Coddington's subjection to the authority of the charter and acting to
free him from the danger of former troubles, complaints and penalties.
An injudicious partisan resolution was passed to destroy such portions
of the records as were unfavorable to Coddington— that they should
"be cut out and delivered to him." This embraced what he had
extracted from them, and they, with those now included, covered the
most eventful and interesting of the colony's early history, from its
beginning up to and including the troubles that compelled Gorton's
despatch for England and the time of Gorton's Presidency of the colony ;

departure of Williams and Clark for England — measures of the Assembly
from May, 1651, to May, 1652, and most of the doings of the November
4th, 1651, session, which was considered one of the most important in
Rhode Island history.* Without doubt many of these records were
unrecoverable, and on this account many of the members may have
thought this the most feasible way of settlement. It was, however,
decided, upon a vote to the question, that Coddington's fine about the
records should not be returned to him.
The Massachusetts authorities still, in 1656, extending their sover-
eignty over the Providence Plantations, sent their Marshal General
with his subalterns into Providence to arrest Richard Chasmore [who
formerly acted with William Arnold of the Pawtuxans and was one of
the persons to whom the Massachusetts warrant of May 20th, 1643, to
seize John Greene's cattle, was directed] for, Savage says, " probably
some crookedness in religion." While he was in the custody of the
Massachusetts Marshal in Providence, he was with a Providence
warrant rescued from the Massachusetts officers.'
No reply was received from Massachusetts to the November letter
regarding the subjected families. The depredations of the subjected
Indians upon the people of Warwick were unabated and their lawless
acts were encouraged by their settlement near them, on that side of
the Pawtuxet river, of the Massachusetts agents who supplied them
with arms and powder.* Having received no reply to his letter, Williams
wrote to Governor Endicot, who, in response to this, offered to suspend
the act of banishment yet in force long enough for him to come to
Boston ; and provisions were made by the town of Warwick for the
expense of the journey; but before departing he again addressed a
letter to the General Court of Massachusetts in which he referred at
length to the lawlessness of the natives whom Massachusetts was sus-
taining there, and also to the troubles occasioned by the subjected
settlers at Pawtuxet. In this letter he said concerning Warwick: "I
am humbly confident that all the English towns and plantations in all
New England put together suffer not such molestation. It is so great
and so oppressive that I have daily feared the tidings." And concern-
ing families at Pawtuxet v,'ho subjected themselves to Massachusetts:
" Their obstruction is so great and constant that without your prudent
removal of it it is impossible that either his Highness or yourselves can
expect such satisfaction and observance from us as we desire to render."*
The obstructions were not removed by the visit of Williams, but what
was deemed gratifying progress was made by an agreement that the
controversy should be closed by arbitration.
At the next election. May 20th, 1656, Williams was chosen President.
William Harris, now Pawtuxet leader, appeared as a Representative
from Providence; Gorton, Holden, Wickes and Greene, and two of the
Pawtuxet partners, one of whom was Benedict Arnold, appear as
Representatives from Warwick. But could the latter have been seated,
for he, a Massachusetets subject and their warrant server, represented
only the Pawtuxans and Massachusetts and could have been chosen at
only the Pawtuxans' meeting. He had established himself on the
Warwick side of the Pawtuxet river as a merchant with Boston goods,
and also as an agent for provisions and arms; Massachusetts, proscrib-
ing the sale of the latter goods to the Providence and Warwick people,
directing him to sell only to the Whites and Indians who subjected
to her and to such others as were incited against the townspeople.
The sale of strong drink and wine to Indians was prohibited by War-

wick, yet the Sachem Cutohamoke and his company obtained it there.
Arnold had before this entertained and dealt with this Sachem, and
there is no doubt but that he, and not the Warwick settlers as accused,
sold this Sachem and his company their liquor." The business of the
trials. State vs. Coddington, being called, they were upon his petition
and on account of the commotion of the people still prevailing, continued
to await further orders from England. Coddington had multiplied the
lawsuits against him by getting into violent contentions with Dyre.
In this they both signed a paper signifying their submission to an
award of five referees, of whom Gorton was one, for the settlement
of all difficulty between them.'
In this year " a new occasion given by an old spirit for oppression
arose." People of a new religion appeared on our shores, and the
authorities in the other colonies made cause against them and cast them
in prison. Undeterred by threatening consequences, Gorton gave them
his active and practical sympathy, conveyeing to them the assurances
of his Christian love in hopeful plans for their release and to provide
a place where they might enjoy their liberty. " It does not appear,"
says Judge Staples, " that difference of opinion or religion excluded
any from his benevolence or charity."
Four of the early Quaker Missionaries had arrived in Boston. Before
they landed, officers v/ere despatched by the government to bring them
on shore. After being examined, they were committed to prison, there
to remain till the return of the ship that brought them, and then to be
carried back to England.
There is conclusive evidence that Gorton was not a Quaker. With
the individuals imprisoned at Boston he had no personal acquaintance ;
no sectarian views or private friendship, therefore, could have induced
him to correspond with them, yet on the i6th of September, 1656, he
addressed them from Warwick the following:
" The report of your demainor with some others of the same mind
with you formerly put in possession of the place of your present abode,
as is represented to us, as also the errand you profess you came with
unto these parts, hath much touched my heart ; so that I cannot with-
hold my hand from expressing its desires after you. If God has brought
you into these parts as instruments to open the excellences of the taber-
na,cle, wherever the cloud causeth you to abide, no doubt but this your
improvement shall be an effectual preface to your work, to bring the
gainsayers to naught ; which my soul waiteth for, not with respect to
any particular man's person, but with respect to that spirit of wicked-
ness gone out into the world to deceive and tyranize ; and in that respect
my soul saith, O Lord, I have waited for thy salvation. But our Lord
may please to send some of his saints unto us to speak words which
the dead hearing they shall live. I may not trouble you further at
this time, only if Vv'e knew that you had a mind to stay in these parts
after your enlargement [for we hear you are to be sent back to Eng.]
and what time the ship would set sail, or could have hope the Master
would deliver you, we would endeavor to have a vessel in readiness
when the ship goeth out of harbour to take you in and set you where
you may enjoy your liberty."'
Callender says that Gorton " was strenuously opposed to the doctrine
of the' Quakers."' He, however, indulged in no personal abuse of them,
or of anyone for their differing with him in doctrine or religion. In

the debates with the Friends at Newport, Providence and Warwick,
in which WilHams, Gorton and others engaged and out of which much
bad feeling arose from the accusations and personahties indulged in
by some of the debaters, the records* show that, although Gorton was
rated a disputant quite the equal of any," he was deficient in the then
common " talent of being disagreeable to all those whose belief and
practices differed from their own," he almost alone escaping the charge
of having uttered unkind words against them. His Quaker friends,
solicitous in his behalf, complain that Priest Wilson would have him
put to death for differing with him in religion.
Had the benevolent project of Gorton been carried out, the little
company of Friends would have been the earliest apostles of the new
faith on the shores of the Narragansett. In their reply they stated that
the master of the vessel had been placed under such heavy bonds to
set them ashore in England as to render the undertaking hopeless."
Other admirable letters of Gorton's in defense of the Quakers fol-
lowed. Of his above correspondence Judge Staples says : "The sentiments
and feelings which it displays are the more to be honored and appre-
ciated, because in his time, and in this country especially, they were
seldom avowed." It is a high achievement to be tolerant toward others
in matters of religion even to-day.
Benedict Arnold had, since the May Assembly last, moved to Newport
and become the leader of the Pawtuxans' adherents there. He was
made President at the May, 1657, election.
At the March, 1657-8, sessions a letter from Sr. Henry Vane was read
and given to Mr. Gorton. Samuel Gorton and Benedict Arnold were
ordered to draw up an answer to the request of the United Colonies,
that the Providence colony should remove the Quakers and prohibit
their coming into it; to which letter the clerk should subscribe. Arnold
and Gorton did not agree upon a letter, and both wrote one. " We
conceive," wrote Arnold, " that their doctrines tend to very absolute
cutting down and overturning relations and civil government among
men if generally received. But as to the damage that may in likely-
hood accrue to the neighbor colonies by their being here entertained,
we conceive it will not prove so dangerous (as else it might) in regard
to the course taken by you to send them away out of the country as
they came among you." Arnold's conservative letter (although imput-
ing the overturning of civil government to an acceptance of the Friends'
doctrine) he, Arnold, subscribed to.' Gorton's radical and character-
istic letter the clerk subscribed to as the court directed. Gorton's letter
reads: "Now whereas freedom of different consciences to be protected
from enforcement was the principal ground of our charter, both with
respect to our humble suit for it, as also to the true intent of the honor-
able and reverend Parliament of England in granting the same to us;
which freedom we still prize as the greatest happiness that men can
possess in this world: Therefore we shall for the preservation of our
civil peace and order the more seriously take notice that these people
and any others that are here or shall come amongst us be impartially
required, and to our uttermost constrained to perform all the duties
requisite toward the maintainage of the right of his Highness and the
government of that most reverend Parliament of England in the colony ;
which is most happily included under the same domain and graciously

taken into protection thereof. Humbly craving their advice and order
how to carry ourselves in any further respect toward these people, that
therewithal! there may be no damage or infringement of that chief
principal of our charter concerning freedom of conscience. And we
also are so much the more encouraged to make our address unto the

understand there are or have been many of the aforesaid people suffered
to live in England: yea, even in the heart of the nation. And thus
with our truly thankful acknowledgement of the honorable care of the

peace and welfare of the whole country, as expressed in their most
friendly letter, we shall at present take leave and rest."*
The doings of Harris, Pawtuxet leader, engaged much of the atten-
tion of the Assembly during the May sessions. He with others of the
party, the Massachusetts subjects, persisted again in the refusal to pay
taxes, in which action they were protected by Massachusetts. He
openly denied the obligation of obedience of himself and others to the
government,' and made, occording to Williams' charge, " notorious
attempts to draw all the English subjects of the colony into a traitorous
renouncing of their allegiance and subjection." A complaint was filed
against him which grew into a charge for high treason, and the court
directed the Attorney General to take charge of the case.
At the following June, 1657, sessions John Easton was made Attorney
General, and he and John Wickes were ordered to propose to the
Assembly the course of the Harris trial. Upon the hearing the court
declared his conduct to be both contemptuous and seditious ;"* and the
Assembly then directed the papers, comprising Harris' writings, the
charge against him and his reply to be sent to Clark to lay before the
English government; directing Clark to command the matter in our
and the Commonwealth's behalf for further judgment; and held Harris
in the sum of £500 sterling, with his son Andrew, to perform the order
of the court. The ship by which the papers against Harris were sent
was lost.
In Mav, 1658, Mary Gardner, a Friend, resident of Newport, wife
of one of the Island Commissioners, and the mother of many children,
with one babe at her breast, was, while attending a Friends' meeting
taken by the Massachusetts authorities to Boston before John Endicott,
who sentenced her to be whipped with ten lashes, as well as her com-
panion Mary Stanton who accompanied her to help bear the child.
After their very sore journey and (according to man) hardly accom-
plishable, through a wilderness of above sixty miles between Rhode
Island and Boston, the whipping was bloodily executed upon their bare
backs with a three-fold knotted whip of cords, and then they were
continued fourteen days longer in prison.
The further consequence to the Providence colony from the official
presence of Massachusetts subjects had become a matter of greater
agitation, since one of them had become the Governor; and they were
commanded to get out from one or the other colony. Accordinsrly,
during Mav and June of the year 1658. William Arnold, Benedict
Arnold, William Carpenter and Robert' Cole of the Pawtuxet party,
who had sixteen years before subjected to Massachusetts, and had so
long escaped taxation and been the cause of much of the trouble, were
upon their petition discharged from allegiance to that government, and

holding office.' The elder one of the Arnolds soon after complained
to the Massachusetts Court and petitioned them for an addition to the
payment he had received for services rendered them. In his complaint
he stated that some of the cattle of Gorton's, which had been turned
over to him, had been " gotten away from him and he had been put
into very much trouble " by it ; that a number of Warwick people had
obtained judgments against him in the colony courts and he had been
obliged to pay at one time "£io," at another "£60," and at other times
" great costs and damages." The Massachusetts Magistrates, moved
by this humble petition, replied to him that as he had left the protection
of the Massachusetts Court and their jurisdiction, and joined with the
people of whom he complained, they judged it not equity that the court
make him satisfaction ; but that he might have liberty to reimburse
himself by again seizing upon the persons and estates of these people.*

In the Assembly, November 2d, 1658, Mr. Gorton with three others
drew up a letter to Mr. Clark to be presented to his Plighness and
Council, in defense of the right of asylum granted to the friends by
the government of the Providence Plantations. The letter mentioned
the papers in the case against Harris, sent the year previous, the wreck
of the vessel and their loss, and that new papers in the case were
ordered which could not be gotten ready to send with this letter, but
would be sent " by the next opportunity." It acknowledged the love for
Mr. Clark by the colony and their further trust to his council and care.
It then proceeds as follows : " We have now a new occasion given by
an old spirit with respect to the colonies about us which seems to be
offended with us because of a sort of people called by the name of
Quakers, who are come amongst us and have raised up divers who seem
at present to be of their spirit; whereat the colonies about us seem
to be offended with us being the said people have their liberty amongst
us, and entertained into our houses, or into our Assemblies ; and for the
present we have found no just cause to charge them with the breach
of the peace. And the offense our neighbors take ap^ainst us is because
we take not some cause against these people. Sir, this our earnest and
present request unto you in this matter, that as you m^v perceive in
our answer to the TTnited Colonies, that we flee as to our refuse in all civil
respects to his Highness and honorable Council, r><5 not being subject
to any other in matters of our civil estate; so may it please you to have

an eye and care open in case our adversaries should seek to undermine
us in our privileges granted unto us, and to plead our cause in such
sort as zve may not be compelled to exercise any civil power over men's
consciences, so long as human order in point of civility is not corrupted
or violated; whereof many of us have large experience and do judge
it to be no less than a point of absolute cruelty. And so with our hearty
love, etc. Warwick, November 5th, 1658."^
On February 7th, 1658-9, the Pawtuxet party, by its leaders William
Harris and William Arnold, reinforced the evidences of the Pawtuxan
claims by submitting to the town meeting of Providence fraudulent writ-
ings, in what they falsely declared in the following words to be a
genuine copy of the original Indian deed to Williams:
" The seventh of the twelfth month, 1658-9, at our Town Court,
William Arnold of Pawtuxet came into this present court and did
acknowledge that these two copies, to wit, of William Harris' and
Thomas Olney's and which hath these words in them as followeth are
the true words of that writing called the Town Evidence of Providence;
and that which is wanting in the now writing called the Town Evidence
which agreeth not with those copies was torn by accident in his
home in Pawtuxet."*
This pretended copy of the original deed contained the forged 1639
dated memorandum, before mentioned, and an interpolation in the torn
portion, the whole describing more than one-half the lands in the
present State."
Following this came three writings obtained by Harris and partners
from the living Sachems, by which they "confirm" the supposed acts
of their revered deceased Chiefs Cannonicus and Miantinomi." They
all bear date 1659-60, one year after the fraudulent deed was shown
in town meeting. The conspiracy was now complete. The three deeds
" confirmed " to them the lands along the river Pawtucket and Pawtuxet
and the land between them, and, as a matter of course, under the
transfer of October, 1638, and the " combination " dividing line recorded
at Boston in 1650, by which all lands v/est of the line went to the
Pawtuxet purchasers, all of the new lands " confirmed " by the younger
Sachems fell to the Pawtuxet owners. Harris and his partners now
owned eight-tenths, and their claim antedated and included John
Greene's purchase, Gorton's purchase, and the whole territory, whether
owned by Indians or white men, of what is now the State of Rhode
Island, north of the present town of Exeter, a tract comprising not far
from three hundred thousand acres.'
From the reading: of Williams' letters, printed in the Narragansett
Club and other publications, it seems that the largest share of his time
was employed in combiting the pawtuxet claimants' pretensions. He
exerted himself continuously and to his very utmost against them.
His protestations that " Harris hath robbed us," and " Both our town?
(Providence and Warwick') and myself have been notoriously abused
and robbed," and " Prodij^ious and w^onderful to me how they can
srmee^e out a confirmation from ye surviving Sachems of what had
no realitv no more than dreams and castles built in ye air,'" and like
protestations of Gorton, Greene and all loyal others, were for the time

powerless to prevent the Pawtuxet claimants' advancement. Such
predominance did they obtain over the Providence Council that in town
meeting, April 27th, following the receipt of the " confirmatory " deeds,
it was ordered that William Harris and John Sayle should levy upon
every man of Providence what he should pay of the expense incurred
in confirming the Pawtuxet land title."
At a May sessions of the Assembly a commission was ordered to be
made out and sent to Clark in England."
On June ist, 1660, Mrs, Dyre, the wife of William Dyre of the
Island, was, while within the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, taken
before their court, tried and sentenced to death for thrice visiting
Boston, she being a Quaker ; and suffered, regardless of all the mainland
and Island people could do to prevent, and her husband's pathetic
pleadings, the death penalty on Boston Commons. This was five days
after Charles the Second had ascended the throne of England, but
about five weeks before his accession to the throne was known in
New England.
When the August Providence Plantations Assembly convened, their
former order to send Clark his commission had not been complied with
and the order was repeated at this sessions.
At the October, 1660, sessions His Majesty's Declaration was read
and ordered proclaimed to the people. Former sessions had resolved
to send instructions to Clark to proceed with the colony's business in
England and to send him a commission from the government, which
he before never had, he having gone as the agent for the loyal or
liberal party on the Island, after the secession of the Island from the
government led by Coddington. Notwithstanding this, the engagement
of Clark and supplying him with his credentials had been delayed and
was prevented by those opposed to him, by securing a committee
composed entirely of themselves, to whom they had the order for
carrying it out entrusted six Pawtuxan and the old Coddington
party men. These, " or any fewer of them," were intrusted to write
to Clark and to send a commission to him if they thought '* it neces-
sary.'" The placing of this business in the hands of these men and
entirely at the discretion of themselves, or so few as one of them,
shows to what extent the Pav/tuxans and their Newport allys were in
control and how they dominated the government.
The committee as provided did not think it " necessary " to send
Clark a commission. He had but too recently gone to England as their
opponent and complainant, and had been instrumental in having them
deposed from the Island government, and it was quite soon for him
to plead for them the favor of office. The Assembly now again ordered
Clark's commission sent to him, and again men of the same party,
Benedict Arnold and William Baulston with the Recorder, were con-
stituted the committee to draft and send it to him.^ As a consequence,
it was witheld from Clark; and Mr. Merrick and Alderman Peck of
London were employed as foreign agents, and the papers and a petition
sent to them.'
The Massachusetts Court, called in October, refused to proclaim the
new King or to address him. In November the Massachusetts Magis-
trates received word from Leverett regarding the complaints which
were prefered against them to the King and Council, and a General
Court was called and an address, essaying to justify the imprisonments
and executions complained of, was drawn up to the King on December

19th and sent to him.* To this the King replied in a letter dated
February 15th, 1 660- 1, offering them immunity from their past offenses
and promising them the liberty which he had declared to all his subjects ;'
to which the Massachusetts Court, on August 7th, gave due considera-
tion, enacted that His Majesty should be proclaimed, and drew up an
address to him which they did not for the present send to him. On Sep-
tember 9th, 1661, the King, having been informed that a number of the
Quakers were imprisoned, a number of them had been executed, and
others were in danger of undergoing the like, issued a mandamus to
the Massachusetts government, commanding their compliance with his
former orders, and that if there were any Quakers condemned to suffer
death or other corporal punishments, or imprisoned and obnoxious to
the like condemnation, to forbear to proceed any further against them;
and to forthwith send them, whether condemned or imprisoned, over to
England for trial.*
This mandate was received by the Massachusetts Court in November,
and they forthwith proceeded to declare that the necessity of preserving
religious order and peace had rendered the enactment of laws against
Quakers necessary, and concluded by saying, "All this notwithstanding
their restless spirits have moved some to return and others to fill the
royal ear of our Sovereign Lord the King with complaints against
us, and have by their unwearied solicitations in our absence so far
prevailed as to obtain a letter from his Majesty to forbear their corporal
punishment or death; although we hope and doubt not but that if his
Majesty were rightly informed he would be far from giving them such
favor, or weakening his authority here, so long and orderly settled.
Yet that we may not in the least offend his Majesty this court doth
hereby order and declare that the execution of the laws in force against
Quakers as such, so far as they respect corporal punishment or death,
be suspended until this court take further order.'"
For the Massachusetts Court to send their prisoners to England
would be to send " loud and swift witnesses " against the Massachusetts
government. If they had no prisoners they could not send any; so they
cunningly met the emergency by discharging the prisoners from custody ;
and they appointed Simon Bradstreet and John Norton to proceed to
England to present their address and declaration, to assure the King
of their loyalty and to secure the interest of those who might have
influence Vv'ith the King and his Chancellor; but they did not depart
until nearly three months after.'
At the May Assembly and election of the Providence Plantations,
William Brenton of the Island was chosen President. Although the
employment of another agent than Clark, either alone or as an associate,
was distasteful to the loyal partv, William Brenton, Benedict Arnold,
William Dvre, Randall Holden, John Greene, Samuel Gorton, and Roger
Williams were put in nomination for a choice of one or two to be
employed with Clark at the Court of Charles the Second. In the

Brenton of Newport, Samuel Gorton, John Greene and John Wickes
of Warwick were selected as a committee to receive the old charter
from Williams, to send it to England, to draw up an address to his
Majesty in behalf of the colony and to give copies of it, together with
a copy of the subjection deed of the Narragansetts to the agents em-
ployed, for the use of the colony in England." This was a working
committee, the aggressive members of the loyal party having secured
place upon it.
The lands Potowomut had been purchased for " the inhabitants of
Warwick." Trouble regarding it ensuing, the deed was turned over
to Benedict Arnold for the use of the colony. It was not turned over
to the colony and fell into the hands of private owners/
The following was sent by Gorton to the General Court of Massachu-
setts :
"After our long continued patience and forbearance in lying under
the burdens of wrongs and injuries, which you have done unto us ; wait-
ing to see when your own ingenuity would prompt and provoke you
to return unto us some responsible satisfaction; but seeing no appear-
ance thereof, but the continuation of oppression, in withholding our
rights, in not releasing our tedious exile; in some of yours irregularly
intruding upon our lawful liberties; and in your encouraging of the
Indians to oppress us intolerably to this day, presuming upon your
protection therein and threatening of us with your maintaining of them
in their doings continually; and when some (out of compassion) have
laid our wrongs open before the Commissioners of the United Colonies,
some of the chief of you, whom we spare to name, have answered with
great zeal ' Let them alone ; let the Indians destroy them.' Therefore,
think it not much that vv^e are now at the last constrained to appear
before you in these our lines, to present unto you our long resented
and now resolved thoughts. Our grievances we briefly reduce into
these four heads, which, as occasion shall serve and call for, we shall
amplify, prove and express every one in their several particulars, viz. :
" I. Your cruel and unjust seizure upon our persons and estate, by
Capt. George Cooke, Edward Johnson and Humphrey Atherton, com-
missioned by you with the soldiers, both English and Indians under
their command; sent against us. His Majesty's subjects, who live
peaceably, doing harm to no man, and far out of all your jurisdiction.
Your above said soldiers, contrary to law, in an hostile manner, broke
open our houses, spoiling our bedding by lying on them in their trenches,
living upon our cattle in the time of their besieging us, and driving
away the rest of our great cattle, amounting to a great number, into
the Massachusetts, and there disposing of them to your use; also when
we did hang out the King's colors, to signify to whom we did adhere,
your soldiers shot them through and through immediately ; and, con-
trary to your Commissioners' and soldiers' agreement with us, that we
should go with them as neighbors and freemen unto Massachusetts, to
answer anything that could be objected against us, which said aq^ree-
ment of ours was on purpose to save the spilling any blood, upon which
we invited them into the house wherein we were besierifed. they imme-
diately, upon their entrance into our said house, seized upon our arms
and persons, carrying us all away as slaves and captives, leaving our
houses and necessaries in them to be pillaged by the Indians, who
accordingly did destroy our goods and habitations by fire and other-
wise; our wives and children being fled into the woods and other places

no LIFE AND TIMES OF SAMUEL GORTON.
for safety, but in regard of hardships sustained herein, to some of them
it proved loss of Hfe and to others loss of limbs.
" 2. The second general head of our grievances is, our false imprison-
ment for the space of one whole winter season and more, lying in chains
and fetters of iron, and yet to work for our livings by the sentence of
your court, or else to be starved, according to the doctrine of the chief
of your ministers, preached for the edification of the people in the
same season ; and when in your court privately held, you put^ us upon
questions concerning our religion, thinking to ensnare us, having noth-
ing else to object against us, telling us that we answered upon life or
death, we told you that we could not give you your due honor in the
place where you sat; but as you were related to the King's Majesty,
who had committed the same unto you (though out of your jurisdiction,
we held ourselves to stand in a neighborly relation unto you) ; and
therefore told you that we acknowledged the King and his laws to be
the fountain and head of your government; and that if it were so, that
you prosecuted us to take away our lives after our goods, we did then
humbly make our appeal to the King's Majesty for our trial, and could
not be heard ; but not having the breach of any law against us, you put
it to the major vote wdiether we should live or die; and being our lives
escaped only two votes, as some of the deputies of the General Court
informed us, some of you would have it put to vote again, only the
Governor answered it was the finger of God and it was the best to let
it pass as it was. Our imprisonment, as above said, after this was done,
was a time which had many hours in it, wherein you had hope to get
something against us by one means or other; but if every hour wherein
you sought this (by our own law) answer the King's laws for such
imprisonment it will amount to some considerable account upon your
score.
" 3. The third general head is, our causeless banishment and exile
continued upon us unto this day, which is now upon the expiration of
eighteen years; not only to the disgrace of our persons, in making us
appear obnoxious in the eyes of men, as though we were guilty of
some notorious crimes, but also to the depriving of us of common
commerce amongst men, whereby we have for so long time been hin-
dered of the benefit of the course, opportunity and state of things in
the country, in way of trade, in regard of the places of exportation and
importation of all commodities being amongst you, where Vv^e by your
law may not come, upon peril of death ; and yourselves know that many
amongst you and some nearer to our abodes, being favored and encour-
aged by you (since the time of our unjust punishment), raised their
estate to the sum of many thousand pounds a man, whilst we have sat
under oppressions intolerable; having things not at the second, but at
the third or fourth hand, for the necessary supply of our families, to
mitigate their groans under the burdens which you have laid upon
us, which groans have gone up. And yourselves know also that divers
of us were in as good capacity (if not better) to have advanced our
estates as many of those who are so increased, when Captain, Lieuten-
ant and soldiers came first against us. when yourselves had nothing to
do, unless you took yourselves to be the only reformers of the world,
to bring them all to the bent of your bow, as the chief of your ministers
have professed ; that so far as you found yourselves to have the power
of the sword, you ought to subdue all to the form of your Church and
State. , . . , .1.
"4. The fourth general head of our complamt is, the great charge
and expense you have put us unto, for the recovery and repossessmg of
our lands, which you had seized upon, as well as upon our persons
PROVIDENCE AND RHODE ISLAND PLANTATIONS. in
and estate; banishing v.s from them also, though under deceitful and
ambiguous terms, taking that for granted which was not true; accord-
ing to other of your dealings towards us, as evidently shall appear in
its due place and season, whereupon we were necessitated, for supply
of our present wants, to make use of our friends beyond modesty and
all ordinary courtesy, when you had cast us out of house and harbor
and place of abode, taking from us not only our goods of all sorts,
which were our livelihood, but our lands also; leaving us destitute of
any place wherein we might employ ourselves to sustain our wives
and little ones; thinking thereby either to drive us among the Indians
remote, to our ruin, or else to the Dutch Plantation, where many of our
English people, men, women and children, were so inhumanly massacred
immediately' before (by the barbarous Indians in those parts), which
was one effect of your banishing them from among yourselves. In
this case, we, being deprived of all liberty to pass through any of your
plantations, to go for England, to make known unto the King's Majesty;
being put in trust (also) with the chief Sachems about us, who^ earnestly
desired to submit their persons and lands unto His Majesty's protec-
tion, seeing yourselves laying claim unto and prosecuting by the sword
for such large dominions in these parts, perceiving that we were
delivered out of your hands, beyond all expectation, and that we pro-
fessed ourselves to be subjects and servants to the Great Sachem of
Old England. We were upon this twofold occasion forced to travel
to the Dutch plantation to take shipping, where we lay long upon
expense before an opportunity could be had ; then transporting ourselves
into Holland we lay long there again for a passage into England.
When arrived, your friends and agents did v/hat they could to hinder
the dispatch of our business, thinking thereby to wear us out in the
want of means to maintain ourselves; some of your chief friends, both
in England and also of this country, being of the committee to which
our business was referred, by which means the time was much pro-
longed before a termination of the justice and equity of our cause.
And yourselves know that the said committee ivere pleased to take
notice {in their letter concerning the repossessing of our plantation) of
our modesty and moderation, in that zve did not for that present time
urge or sue for reparation of other wrongs zve underzvent, because of
the troublesome times in those days. But we were willing to stay till
a better and more fit season offered itself; only the repossessing of our
plantations was of present necessity; whereupon we might labor with
our hands for the preservation of our wives and children ; which they
most willingly granted unto us, seeing that justice and equity called
for the same. The accomplishment thereof in our loss of time, expense
of money and arrearages, our families were forced in our absence
(which absence was not only from our families in our voyage for
England, but also from our lands from which you had banished us),
was no small charge, for such as you had left naked of all manner of
help, thinking thereby to tread us under foot forever, and our children
after us, such as should never be able to use any means for any satisfac-
tion hereafter. If the great cattle you took from us be well calculated
according to ordinary increase for so many years, as you have the use
and benefit of them, it will amount to a very considerable sum, besides
all other charge and detriment; and we understand that now is a time
of repairing of losses and righting of wrongs, formerly done in our
native country, where we doubt not our wrongs will be taken into con-
sideration among the rest. And though yourselves would not allow
our humble appeal to the Royalty of the late King, yet we hope you
will not hinder our humble addresses unto His Majesty that now is.
112 LIFE AND TIMES OF SAMUEL GORTON.
Wherefore considering the premises as things shall be explained and
amplified according to the particulars necessarily comprised, which
you cannot be ignorant of, and being that we respect you as gentlemen
of the same country out of which we came, also as neighbors here in
this remote wilderness, and respecting you as wise and understanding
men, we are, in the truth and sincerity of our hearts (for neighborly
peace and society in these Hie Majesty's dominions), willing to propose
unto you judicious and serious consideration, viz.: That if, in your
judgments, you shall be pleased to propound unto us such a plausible
way (which may stand with His Majesty's authority and not prejudice
nor demean our cause) for a home composure of these differences,
unto moderate satisfaction, we shall most willingly and freely address
ourselves thereunto. Otherwise, take knowledge, that our resolution
is, with all convenient speed to make our humble addresses to the
King's Majesty, in way of petition and particular declaration there-
upon, that His Majesty will be pleased to determine the matter by his
council, or whom His Majesty shall be pleased to appoint. We under-
stand that yourselves have received good encouragement from His
Majesty of late, which is our encouragement also that he will the more
willingly take the cause into consideration. Take knowledge, therefore,
that we do, by these presents, give you seasonable notice of our intended
proceedings about the premises, that so you may be ready to make your
best defense. And of this warning given unto you we keep a copy,
testified unto by sufficient witness; it being a seasonable time now,
fitting your opportunity, for we understand that your agent has lately
com.e over out of England and is shortly to return thither again, so that
you may give him full instructions for the management of your cause.
This also you may be pleased to take cognizance of that if you put
us unto the prosecution of our intended resolution, in our humble
addresses to His Majesty, the damage which we shall charge upon
you will amount to a very great sum. as by visible demonstrations and
rational and undeniable calculation and account it shall appear ; besides
our false imprisonment, and wrongs done by Indians in killing our
cattle, planting and wearing out our best land, pilfering and purloin-
ing our goods, etc.. for the space of so many years, whom we expected
to be removed without delay. If we hear not from you speedily con-
cerning the premises, then we take it for granted that you put us to
the prosecution of our abovesaid resolution, and intend to give us a
meeting in England, for the intent and purpose as aforesaid. We con-
clude, with our desire to know of you, whether you count us free in
point of egress and regress in any of your plantations or jurisdiction,
to go about their or any other of our lawful employments without
disturbance as free subjects of His Majesty in his dominions, carrying
ourselves (as in our constant custom and practice we have done)
according unto the rules of humanity and sobriety. And if we have
not a speedy answer from you in this point also, we shall consider
you hold us still as under the bondage of a causeless banishment; and
we shall seek to accommodate ourselves elsewhere for transportation,
to obtain redress. And so we take our leave, and remain, though poor,
yet your loving and peaceable neis^hbors. From Warwick in the Colony
of Providence Plantations, the 22d of August, l66i."*
The commission for Clark, which was ordered drawn out in May,
1660, and at each subsequent sessions, v/as still withheld from him by
the adverse committee who had it in charge. And its forwarding was

take charge of and send it to him. The tactics were much the same as
those which were by these same men made use of in 1653 to dictate
the terms of re-union by withholding the Council's letter.
At the May election of 1662 Benedict Arnold was chosen President.
The General Court at two different times during the year, both sessions
held at Warwick, addressed letters to Massachusetts to convince them
of the justice and necessity of their resolution to preserve and defend
the privileges of the colony and its jurisdiction " to the eastward of
Pawcatuck river:" "Especially considering that you (Mass.) have
by a more particular and especial instrument from your Lord's Commons
for Foreign Plantations under his Majesty our Sovereign Lord the
King, been absolutely prohibited from entering upon any part of this
jurisdiction. We do promise you that we will live by you in all loving
and quiet sort, not doubting but we shall be supported therein by the
divine power, and in due season also, to be thereby enabled to persuade
such as now intrude here upon us to decline their insolent proceedings.
And we withal do declare that if any of ours at Pawcatuck or else-
where in the colony have entered on the just rights and interests of any
(whom you call your subjects, either English or Indians) illegally,
that upon complaint legally made unto our Court of Justice, held in
the name and by the authority of his Majesty in this colony, they the
aggrieved parties shall have redress in all just and equal manner."*
The loyal and liberal party was this year successful in electing Roger
Williams President of the Town Council of Providence. The Pawtux-
ans' " confirmation " deeds held by Harris were on April 4th put on
record. On the same day the original deed to Williams of Mooshasuck
was recorded. The Pawtuxet party had prevented this being done
before, vowing that theirs was a correct copy."
On July 27th of this year a deed made on April 9th, 1662, by Samuel
Gorton — his wife Mary joining — of Pawtuxet land, which "was passed
from Robert Cole unto himself by a deed bearing date the loth of Jan-
uary, 1641,"° was prevented by the Pawtuxet party from being recorded;
their claims antedating and covering " all the lands purchased by Gorton
and his companions."'
Throughout the colony and in the Assembly the selection of the
individuals upon whom the government should, in the event of a new
charter, devolve,, was a grave matter of contention; the government
under the present charter now being officered principally by members
of the Coddington and Arnold organization who were unwilling to
yield them up to others. An assemblage made up largely of Newport
men, and in which Benedict Arnold was named as the President, was,
as a necessity to avoid more serious delay, acceded to by the loyal
party. Undoubtedly, Clark would if unhampered have named an ever
loyal man to head the government, although the naming now of any
other than the present incumbent, Arnold, for the place would have
resulted in deposing him from ofifice. The Pawtuxans, Arnolds and
Coddingtons now being dictators upon the matter urged for any charter,
agreed that Clark should proceed alone with the colony's business,
that all the papers should be delivered to him, and the commission
which had been made out to him, but which the committee in charge yet

detained, should be sent to him.* Yet some of the opponents of Clark,
not having gained all they wished, refused to support the program
adopted and persevered in acting independently and obstructing and
longer delaying the urgently needed proceedings.
The Massachusetts agents, Bradstreet and Norton, who went to
England, were met in London by Clark and Holmes and by a number
of Friends, among them John Copeland, whose mutilated ear was a
swift witness against them of the trials and persecutions he and his
fellows had suffered in Boston. George Fox was present at the confer-
ence with them and questioned the agents so closely that they became
confused.' The Rhode Island men, Clark and Holmes, met these agents
before the King and exposed the falsity of their profession of toleration
and obedience, and challenging them to cite one single act of duty or
loyalty in support of their profession as loyal subjects." Yet the King
continued to Massachusetts their privileges, as they promised they
would act with loyalty and toleration in the future; and Bradstreet
and Norton presently returned, bearing a royal letter dated June 28th,
1662, in which the King recognized the church and promised oblivion
of past offenses ; but he demanded the repeal of all laws inconsistent
with due authority, an oath of allegiance to the royal person, as for-
merly in use, but dropped since the commencement of the late civil
war, the administration of justice in his name; complete toleration
for the Church of England ; the repeal of the law which restricted the
privilege of voting and tenure of office to church members, and the
substitution of property qualifications instead; finally, the admission
of all persons of honest lives to the sacraments of Baptism and the
Lord's Supper.'
The " Petition of John Clark and others of Rhode Island.'" which was
under the direction of the committee, was finally delivered to Clark
and was presented by him to the Councillors of the King. It was for
a confirmation of the present charter, and recited that the petitioners
did in the year 1643 secure from the Commissioners of Plantations a
charter of incorporation, whereby they were empowered to choose
their own officers and to make their own laws with the limitation that
they should be so near the laws of England as the nature of the con-
stitution of the place would admit; and that having grounded the
government thereon, they humbly craved they might find such grace
in his Majesty's sight that under his wing they mighty not only be
sheltered, but caused to flourish in their civil and religious concern-
ment. And the commission, which was made out and dated October
i8th, t66o, over two years ago, was delivered to him. It_ authorized
him to act as the agent of the colony in perpetuating the liberties and
boundaries and amenities of the colony according to the true intent
and meaning of all contained in the charter " bearing date one thousand
six hundred and forty-three ; " the old charter which those who drew
the commission once so earnestly opposed, but under which they now
were installed in office.
There is not a word regarding religious liberty in this 1643 cliarter,
although to be protected from enforcement was, as Gorton said, the
principal ground for it. It provided this by granting the people full
authority to rule themselves in a form agreed to by the greater part
of them. This was sufficient only as long as the people's will could
be expressed. Now constitutional prohibition of religious enforcement

was desired to permanently assure it. " The only safety," Gorton said,
" was in prohibiting the Magistrates to intermeddle between God and
the conscience of men."
A letter and the " Address from Rhode Island to King Charles the
Second "' was sent to Clark by the select men ; the address setting forth
" that it was much on their hearts if they might be permitted to hold
forth a lively experiment, that a most flourishing State might stand
and best be maintained with a full liberty in religious concernment ;
craving to receive from his Majesty a more absolute, ample and free
charter of civil incorporation, while permitted with freedom of con-
science to worship the Lord our God."
While Clark was delayed by the withholding of his credentials,
John Winthrop, Jr., was engaged in advancing the passage of a
charter for Connecticut, which described that colony's bounds as east
upon the Narragansett river.* The draught of this charter thus preced-
ing that of the Rhode Island charter came finally before the Council
board before the objectional portion was revealed to Clark, and he
could not at this stage combat it. Winthrop says : " Mr. Clark might
have done their business before my arrival, or all the time since. I
should not have offered anything therein. Why he did not act about
their business before, when he would have none to oppose, or all the
time when he should have no opposition from myself or any other, I
know not the reason. I had not the least intention of wronging them."
The Providence and Rhode Island grant was to Patatticuck river,
at that time also called Narragansett river. The Council explained
that they did not intend to grant away from it any of its territory.
Winthrop agreed with Clark upon the terms " Patatticuck river called
Narragansett river," and this line of division was, not however without
many years of troublesome and expensive trials for both colonies,
sustained by the King's Commissioners.*
Benedict Arnold was for the year 1663 elected President of the
colony, and five of the six Providence Representatives chosen were
also of the Pawtuxet party. The Pawtuxet party also obtained a two-
thirds majority in the Providence Town Council; and again ordered
that no land should be granted within the Pawtuxet claim. A struggle
in the Assembly and local courts, led by Harris, for the possession of
the lands they claimed, followed; Harris, by electing controlling rr.r.jori-
ties in the Town Council and General Assembly, attempting politically
to accomplish his object.'' Although but four men held eight of the
ten shares in this claim to nearly the whole State, it is not suprising
that these few bhould have so large a following; for the land, the stake
for which they played, was of such monstrous financial value that
their success would insure the dispensing of rich bounties to their
friends."
At a General Assembly held at Newport on November 24th, 1663,
the new charter from Charles the Second, brought over by Capt. Baxter,
was read. The earnest struggles for religious liberty had, in the con-
stitutional prohibition of the exercise of civil authority over men's
consciences, gained the final victory. It limited the power of civil
government to civil things. The charter recites from the Committee

of Select Men's Address to the King " That it is much in their hearts
if they may be permitted to hold forth a lively experiment, that a most
flourishitig civil state may stand and best be maintained with a full
liberty in religious concernment.'"
All the rights granted in the earlier charter were confirmed in this,
the original right and title of the Indians and their concession of the
Narragansett territory through Gorton to the English government for
the government of the Providence Plantations was recognized and
confirmed. The names of the men from the different parties, upon
whom the government under the new charter should devolve until the
next May election, as had been agreed upon and sent to Clark, were
inserted in the charter; but those who had borne the chief burdens and
sacrifices in the cause did not receive the chief honors. The Newport
organization and the Pawtuxans were now in a majority sufficient to
command for themselves most of the prominent places. The Governor
named, therefore, was not Williams or a representative of the liberal
party," but Benedict Arnold, and he became by this appointment the
first Governor under the new charter ;' largely attributive to the limited
voting privilege maintained in Newport. Arnold and Brenton held
the office of Governor for fifteen years between them continuously, and
they with Easton and later Coddington continuously for twenty-one
years (with the exception of one year) until the death of all of them.*
The name " Providence Plantations " in the Williams charter, Gorton
said, disturbed the men of Newport. In the new charter Rhode Island
was prefixed to the name of the colony. Gorton, one of the few of the
liberal party who obtained recognition under the new charter, was
named in it as one on whom the government should devolve, was a
member of the Assembly that received the charter, and was a member
of the next Assembly in March, in which the new charter was adopted.
Under the new charter the Governor, the Deputy Governor, and four
of the ten Assistants were Newport men, and of the Deputies Newport
had six to four from any other town.* The preponderating population
of Newport was from Massachusetts; it was nearly a Massachusetts
government. The political consequences of the other towns than New-
port were thus destroyed, and the government, though with constitu-
tional liberty established in it, passed from the hands of those whose
early struggles founded and maintained it. These thereafter " shared
but few favors and seldom secured any official recognition or distinc-
tion."
Most of the early officers of the government, like Gorton, as he says,
" never persued earthly honor." Conscience and duty actuated them
in taking upon themselves the dangerous responsibilities that confronted
them; and sacrifice and suffering without honor in their day was their
earthly portion. The infirmities of age and long continued public
service, as at last pled by Gorton, were the only laudable reasons for
laying down this unthankful work. Except in the cases of Arnold

arrived. To name or not to name him as Governor in the charter was one of
the obstructions in proceedings. To not have so named him at this time would
have deposed him from the office. "Arnold and Coddington, through
their extensive land acquisitions and political favors, and the favors of commerce
extended to them by Mass., became possessed of large wealth, exceeding that of
any other two men in the colony. Coddington, in 1665, abandoned the church
and Puritan party and became a Friend and Loyalist, and was thereafter the
Governor of the colony and a commendable citizen, sth Mass. Collec, i, 330

and Coddington, there was hardly an example of personal ambitious
strife for place in the colony until after the government was established
very secure and its offices were provided with emoluments. Samuel
Gorton and John Smith served as Presidents of the colony during the
culminating period of the attempted subversion of its government and
the transferring of its dominions to the other colonies, the most trying
period, and met with judgment and courage every emergency; pre-
served the valued rights by their charter granted to them, and happily
lived to see the cause for which they labored triumph.
The new charter also contained the express provision that the inhabit-
ants of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations should have perfect
freedom to pass and repass without let or molestation into the other
colonies, and to hold intercourse with such of their people as were
willing, " any act, clause, or sentence in any of the said colonies pro-
vided or that shall be provided to the contrary notwithstanding."
Accompanying the charter was an open letter from the King to the
Governor and Council of Massachusetts, expressly calling their atten-
tion to the signification of his will as provided in his charter, and
requiring their obedience, which letter he sent through the hands of
the Governor and Council of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations,
evidently to assure to all the parties interested a knowled,c:e of its tender
and his will. Its receipt was, by the Governor and Council of Massachu-
setts on November i8th, 1663, acknowledged.*
A remarkable fact regarding this charter is that it was so liberal in
its provisions that it was not changed by the revolution, but remained
in force until 1842. It was in advance of other instruments in provid-
ing protection in the matter of religious worship. When, later, the
Liberalists complained of this deficiency in the United States Consti-
tution and addressed Washington upon the subject, urging an amend-
ment, the request commended itself to his judgment and he replied that
had he known the needed protection was not accorded fully in the Con-
stitution he never would have signed it. The amedment was introduced
by Madison and, in spite of violent opposition at the first, Congress
passed it."
That Charles the Second should favor the experiment of civil govern-
ment with liberty of conscience and provide for the enforcement of
religious freedom, first in this banished colony, is largely due to the
exemplary life, earnest entreaties and convincing eloquence of Gorton,
Clark and Williams. His letters^ show that he was well disposed to
grant them this favor.' He had pledged " that no man shall be dis-
quieted or called in question for difference of opinion in matters of
religion which do not disturb the peace of the kingdom," in his famous
declaration from Breda in 1660.* In his letter to Endicott the same
year he says : " Neither shall we forget to make you and all our good
people in those parts equal partakers of those promises of liberty and
moderation to tender consciences expressed in our gracious declaration."
And the identical language of his declaration from Breda (with the
selectmen's entreaty to him "to hold forth a lively experiment, with ^
a full liberty in religious concernment ") was inserted in the new charter '
R. I. and Prov. Plantation was the first, or the second if we prant the first to
the colony of North Carolina, to declare itself " free from all dependence on
the crown of Great Britain." This she did May 4, 1776. She then refused to
enter the Compact of United Colonies until constitutional reliRious freedom
was adopted. 'Kind's letters in Ryerson's Loyalists of America.

by his special order, and by him defended in open court before it was
sealed and he signed it."
By enforcing freedom in the American colonies the promotion of
the Episcopal religion was accomplished; but, however, its operation
here was most desirable and beneficial. Massachusetts was offered a
new charter on the same terms as Narragansett and refused it. Then
her charter fell. This was the last effective act of Charles the Second
relative to Massachusetts, for before a new government could be settled
the Monarch died. His death and that of the charter were nearly
contemporary/" James the Second, immediately upon his accession to
the throne, in resentment of the disobedience and belligerancy of Massa-
chusetts and indignant less with the Narragansett than with the Massa-
chusetts heretics, appointed a Royal Governor and a Royal Commission
which changed, for the time being, the whole face of New England.'
We passed with but a mention one of the proceedings of the last
Assembly, which was attended with much importance. The Indian
Kings of the Narragansett nation were by invitation of the Governor
and Council present. The deed and submission sent by them to his
Majesty by Mr. Gorton was read to them, which they reaffirmed and
owned to have executed. This submission deed of the Narragansetts
secured by Gorton well stood all the ridicule that Massachusetts writers
could bestow upon it. No instrument ever more fully than this served
its chief purpose. Massachusetts had commissioned Arnold and others
to secure this same thing, but failed in it, and subjected but two of the
petty Sachems." The submission of the Narragansett Chiefs with their
dominion in tlie interests of the Providence Plantations before others
had seduced them, which latter would have facilitated the efforts of
Weld to secure Massachusetts a patent and of Winslow to call in the
grant to Williams, was a master policy; notwithstanding England was
unable to return to the Narragansetts, for the deed the redress and
protection which was due for it. And although Miantinomi fell in
death, doubtless earlier than he would have fallen had be submitted to
Massachusetts, the same fate awaited those who did submit to Massa-
chusetts after their land had been gotten from them.'
This Indian grant was recognized as the highest authority by tb.e
Parliament Commissioners, and in the charter as the best of all grants;
so all-sufficient as to supercede all others; and the grant in the body of
the charter is, therefore, given to the Rhode Island and Providence
colony of dominion over this land.*
Without this deed the colony could not have retained any considerable
part of the Narragansett domain; and the importance attached to it
by all the colonies is evident from what we have recounted. It was
by virtue of this act that the King's Commissioners sitting at Warwick
erected it into the King's Province, named its bounds, and gave to the
Governor and his Assistants of the colony of Rhode Island and Provi-
dence its entire control, forbidding others trespassing upon_ it. The
charter says that as the Rhode Island and Providence Plantations " are

Shortly prior to March, 1664, the death occurred of John Smith,
former President of the colony. He was an early settler in Providence,
a subject of the vengeance of the church Magistrates of Massachusetts,
and prior to 1648 permanently settled at Warwick ; was one of the first
members of the government under the charter and one of its most
earnest defenders. He served the colony loyally and faithfully in
various ways, and as President during very troublesome times and to
him a most trying period. Happily, he lived to see religious freedom
secured to the colony in its constitution. The town of Warwick
appointed Gorton administrator of his estate.

The first Assembly of the Rhode Island and Providence Plantations
under the new charter sat at Newport March ist, 1664. Samuel Gorton
was, as we have stated, named in it as one of the incorporators of the
government, so also were Benedict Arnold, William Coddington and
William Baulston. The appointments named in it were Arnold, Gov-
ernor; Brenton, Deputy Governor; Coggershall, Clark and Baker,
Assistants, all of Newport ; Baulston and Porter, Assistants, of Ports-
mouth; Field, Olney and Williams, Assistants, of Providence; and Greene
and Smith, Assistants, of Warwick. The vacancv occasioned by the
death of Smith was filled by the choice of Randall Holden. The Assem-
bly appointed the Superior Court at Newport semi-annually to be held
by the Governor and six of the Assistants with or without the aid of
the Deputy Governor. Five of twelve colony officers were required to
be citizens of Newport. The Governor, Deputy Governor and three of
the Assistant justices, thereafter of Newport, and five out of each

twelve of the grand and petit jury were to be Newport men. Every
town was deprived of the power of electing one-half of its council, the
election of half given to the vote of the whole colony.' Newport had
surpassed the other towns in population, wealth and social influence;
had now a more than corresponding political interest, and filled most
of the offices of the government. Its accessions were of a character
very different from those of the early settlements, which were of a
people many of whom, after having been impoverished by fines and
penalties, had escaped almost penniless to enjoy in the wilderness the
scant returns of labor and the hoped for large reward of freedom from
religious oppression. Its accessions were largely Puritan men of wealth
who came to the new port of enterprise for business. This Puritan
element was made by the rulers the privileged electorate, thereby keep-
ing them in power. Without regard for or sympathy with the liberal
element it held controlling influence in the colony for more than a
century.'
The change in the official title of the colony, dictated by the Newport
island men and made by prefixing the name of the island to it, led to
the colony being called by the island's name ; and it also loaned strength
to the error, encouraged by the followers of Coddington then in power
in the government, that prevailed for many years, that the government
of the colony had its origin in his government on the island. The
name of the State should be Narragansett.
Those governing at Newport from the beginning felt but little interest
in the mainland towns to which they had against their will been united*
Previous to Clark's return from England the colony had paid him the
amount agreed upon for his services and also sent to him an extra
allowance for his greater encouragement in its behalf, Gorton being
one who guaranteed the amount apportioned to his town.° Upon
Clark's return the Assembly promptly assumed the debt which was
contracted in 1651 for his departure, and to this added a gratuity and
assessed £600 upon the towns for it, £80 of it being assigned as War-
wick's portion. To this Warwick for good reasons objected. The main-
land had alone paid the expenses of Williams, the government agent,
and it belonged to the island alone to pay the departure expenses of
Clark their agent.'" Clark had but recently, during the coming in of
the King, been employed by the government,' and for this all his
expenses and claims had been paid with an extra allowance. The
Warwick people had, Williams said, been for the past twenty years
subjected to a loss of £100 annually. Holden said in all £4,000 from
the depredations of those who had betrayed the government, without any
relief from the government;' and they rightly thought that the island
should pay Clark's departure expenses, and if a further payment to him
by the government was deemed just it should be assessed upon those
who had betrayed the government and proudly done wrong of a higher
nature.
Others joined with Warwick in the protest to the Newport men's
proceedings, but it was unheeded, and in October (1664) the arrearage,
now £200, was ordered to be collected from the different towns. Unwar-
rantable reflections having been cast upon the patriotism of the Warwick
people, they in the December following addressed a letter to the
Assembly then in session which vindicated their unrivalled interest
in the colony and the justice of the course they would recommend,

stating that they almost alone bore the expense of the first mission,
that of Gorton, Greene and Holden to England to sustain the colony,
and had done none less for it than any others had done, and this done
on their own charge, travel and loss of time, never receiving a penny
from any of the other towns; that when the men of Massachusetts had
drafted a charter for Narragansett, during the height of their credit
in England, and had both ministers and Magistrates pleading that it
might be made authentic, these Warwick men only prevented it.' War-
wick, however, paid the amount that had been assessed to her without
abatement; and at an Assembly at Warwick, June 21st, 1670, ordered
£300 to be raised to send Clark and Greene to England to now oppose
the claims Connecticut made by the precedence of her new charter
with bounds including, as they thought, portions of the Providence
colony. Clark did not go, his death occurring soon after.*
The King finding it impossible to secure compliance and necessary
to compose the differences of which he received complaints, and to do
justice to numerous demands at his royal hands, on the 22d of April,
1664, appointed Col, Richard Nichols, Sr. Robert Carr, Knight, George
Cartwright, Esq., and Samuel Meverick, Commissioners to visit the
colonies in New England to examine and determine all complaints and
appeals in all causes and matters, as well military and criminal, and he
sent under date of April 23d, 1664 letters to both the Massachusetts
and Rhode Island governments " acknowledging his duty to see that
justice be administered to all his subjects."*
The King's letter of June 28, 1662, brought over by Bradstreet and
Norton, nearly two years past, remained unpublished, but now upon
the appointment of the royal Commissioners was made public and
several other letters from the King acknowledged,' with a protest
against the royal Commissioners in what they term a " supplication " to
the King, dated October 25th, 1664.' It was replied to by the King on
February 25th, 1664-5. The letters of the King of February 15th, 1660,
September 9th, 1661, June 28th, 1662, April 23d, 1664, and February
25th, 1665, show the groundlessness of the Massachusetts Magistrates*
statements and reveal what they contended for under the rights of
conscience was the right of preventing others, and what they claimed
under the pretense of charter rights was absolutism, refusing to submit
even to inquiry as to whether they had encroached upon the rights and
territories of their White and Indian neighbors, or made laws and
regulations and performed acts contrary to the laws of England, and
to the rights of others of the King's subjects. The King's letter of
February 25th, 1664-5, i" answer to the supplication is not given by
Hutchinson in his history. This and a letter from Lord Clarendon in
answer to a copy of the supplication that was sent to him, and a letter
from Robert Boyle in reply to a letter sent to him, and upon the subject
of this address to the King and their rejection of the royal commission,
may be read with advantage to those who would pursue this subject

They were well received by the people of the Providence and Rhode
Island Plantations. The Indian Princes gave them a long petition.
Among their complaints of injustice was that the Massachusetts Com-
missioners had first caused them to be fined, then took their country in
mortgage to satisfy the sentence, and would inveigle them out of it."
One of the King's most implicit instructions to his Commissioners
was " to see if it prove true " that the Narragansetts had submitted
their domain to Charles the First of their will; and accordingly their
first business in Narragansett was to visit the headquarters of the tribe
at Pattamsquscot, where a council with them was held and the sub-
mission of the Narragansett Chiefs were confirmed; whereupon the
Commissioners then, there on the 20th of March, 1664-5, formally
received the grant, commanded it to be called by the name Gorton
applied to it, " The King's Province," and commissioned men of the
Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, their Governor and Assist-
ants its Magistrates and rulers.'" We do not find Samuel Gorton
named as one of these Magistrates. He was now seventy-three years
of age, and had on account of the infirmities of age refused to longer
serve in the office of Assistant, although he was Magistrate at Warwick
and did serve as Assistant in the place of absent ones; and so doubtless
served as his son did and with him as Magistrate for the King's
Province. His interest in the grant may have prevented his appoint-
ment by the Commissioners or have made him unwilling to accept such
an appointment. The Magistrates named were appointed to serve until
May 3d following, and then the Governor and his Assistants or Magis-
trates were to rule. Plis son, Samuel Gorton, Jr., was an Assistant and
was one of the Court of Justice that sat in the Province.' And the
Commissioners issued this order : " Having received from some of
the principal Sachems of the Narragansett Indians a submission or
surrender of themselves, their subjects and their lands to the protection,
government and dispose of our dread sovereign, giving us a deed dated
April 19th, 1644, wherein they and all the other Sachems of that coun-
try did then submit, subject and give over themselves to his late Majesty,
we, his Majesty's Commissioners, command that no person of what
colony soever presume to exercise any jurisdiction but such as procure
authority from us ; and we also declare that " The King's Province " doth
extend to Pawcatuck river; and whereas. Major Atherton and others
of the Massachusetts pretend a mortgage of a great part of the said
country, and whereas, there is also two purchases pretended to, of two
great tracts of land by the same, in which deed there is no mention of
any consideration, and that it appears that the said pretending purchasers
knew that the said country was submitted to Jiis Majesty, as well by
zi'ifness as by said submission being eighteen years ago printed. We,
his Majesty's Commissioners, having heard the whole business, do
declare the said purchases to be void and order and command that the
said purchasers shall quit and go off the said pretended purchased
lands.

The Commissioners then sat to hear the complaints of the town of
Warwick. The Massachusetts Magistrates refused to appear before
the Commissioners to answer the numerous complaints of Warwick
or of others or to indicate their claims or acts, and denied the right
of the Commissioners to hear and determine causes. A letter was
received by the Commissioners from Williams stating that he had been
many years engaged in pleading with Massachusetts and in behalf of
his loving friends of Warwick with the Massachusetts Magistrates, who
would be pleased were Mr. Gorton and his friends destroyed, and advis-
ing that the Massachusetts colony be reduced to obedience'. The
petition that was four years since addressed by the people of Warwick
to the General Court of Massachusetts, complaining of the continued
oppression and suffering occasioned by the remaining subjected inhabit-
ants and giving notice that they should proceed before the King in
council unless some arrangements were made satisfactory to them, the
Massachusetts Court having given no heed to, now twenty-two years
after the first occasion for complaint arose, during which tim.e there had
been unremitted depredations and oppression regardless of the many
orders and the prohibition in the charter, and yet debarred the privi-
leges of trade, their goods exchang.ed second or third-handed, their
property destroyed by the subjected inhabitants who occupied their best
lands, and the order of banishment to this day unrepealed, they of
Warwick now laid their precise and commendably brief complaint
before the Commissioners.* This, at this late day, was the first petition
to the government for reparation that Gorton or any of the Warwick
people had made. There was in this no claim for damages to the
person, but only for property losses. From this it is more than probable
that they would not have sought redress had they, after the first assault
on them, been allowed to settle down in peace.
The Commissioners, after the hearings, issued on April 4th from
Warwick an order " that all those gifts or grants of land lying on the
eastern side of Pawcatuck and a north line drawn to the Massachusetts,
made by his Majesty's colony of the Massachusetts to any person what-
soever, or by that usurped authority called the United Colonies, to be
void."^ And on April 17th they ordered the removal of all both Indians
and Whites, Massachusetts subjects, from these lands."
The Massachusetts Magistrates, in lieu of their appearance before
the King's Commissioners, put forth on May 30th, 1665, what they
called an apologetical reply, a document of " vituperation and obscurity
of meaning," in which they incorporated the pith of " Hypocrisy
Unmasked," including in it the old petition of Benedict Arnold and his
company. As nearly twenty-five years had elapsed since the events
referred to had occurred, it was clear enough that the consequences which
the petition pretended were completely falsified. It, therefore, suited
the General Court to quote the Providence petition as stating that
Gorton and his company were already the vile and dangerous men
which the petitioners only said they might become in a certain con-
tingency. In other words, the court so garbled the petition as to make
It assert as an existing fact that which was only put as a possible
consequence. However heretical it may appear, it is difficult to escape
the suspicion that the Puritans sometimes showed signs of human
weakness.'

On May 2d, 1665, Colonel Nichols and all the other King's Commis-
sioners with him drew up, signed and forwarded to the Massachusetts
Court an address regarding its refusal of its members to appear and
defend themselves, and regarding a report circulated that the King
had sent here to take away any civil liberties. It said: "We declare
as false and protest that they are diametrically contrary to the truth,
as ere long we shall make it appear more plainly. These personal
slanders with which we are calumniated, as private men we slight; as
Christians we forgive, and will not mention; but as persons employed
by his sacred Majesty we cannot suffer his sacred honor to be eclipsed
by a cloud of black reproaches and some seditious speeches without
demanding justice from you against those who have said, reported or
made them."° And the Commissioners on May i8th addressed to the
Massachusetts Magistrates the following: "The end of the first plant-
ers coming hither was, as was expressed in your address, the enjoyment
of the liberty of your own conscience. We, therefore, admire that you
should deny liberty of conscience to any, and especially when the King
requires it, and that upon a vain conceit of your own that it will disturb
your enjoyments which the King often hath said it shall not."'
And Commissioner Col. Cartwright addressed to Mr. Gorton the
following: "These gentlemen of Boston would make tis believe that
they really think that the King has given them so much power in their
charter to do unjustly, that he reserved none for himself to call them
to account for doing so. In short, they refuse to let us hear complaints
against them, so that at the present we can do nothing in your behalf;
but I hope shortly to go to England, where, if God bless me thither,
I shall truly represent your suffering and your loyalty. Your assured
friend, George Cartwright. Boston, May 26, 1665.'""
The three Commissioners Carr, Cartwright and Meverick on July
26th, 1665, addressed the Massachusetts Court as follows: "We thought
when we received our commission and instructions that the King and
his Council knew what was granted to you in your charter, and what
right his Majesty had to give us such a commission and commands;
and we thought the King, his Chancellor and his secretaries had suffi-
ciently convinced you that this commission did not infringe your
charter ; but since you must needs misconstrue all these letters and
endeavors, and that you will make use of that authority which he hath
given you to oppose that sovereignty which he hath over you, we shall
not loose more of our labors upon you, but refer it to his Majesty's
wisdom, who is of power enough to make himself to be obeyed in all
his dominions."^ The Commissioners also wrote to their government,
among other things regarding the Massachusetts Magistrates, that
" Seven years they can easily spin out in writing. If writing will serve
the turn, as they suppose it will, they can keep the business in agitation
until the King 'and all his secretaries there and all his good subjects
here be weary of it. Both the readiest and surest way is for his
Majesty to take away their charter, which they have several ways for-
feited, but that without a visible force will not be effected."^
The Commissioners composed some differences with the Dutch
settlers, finally arranged for the removal of the subjected Indians

find a place to live upon " away from Warwick] ; and finding their
authority still resisted by the government of Massachusetts Bay, re-
ported the result to the King and Lord Chancellor in December, 1665.
The report answered the inquiries the King had instructed them to
make and gave much other information at length. It stated that " the
Narragansett Sachems did in the year 1644, by writing, surrender
themselves, their people and country into the late King's protection;
two of which Sachems now living did actually in their own persons
surrender themselves, people and country into his royal Majesty's
protection before his Commissioners, and deliver to them that very
deed made in 1644, which has been carefully kept by Mr. Gorton. This
Narragansett country is almost all the land belonging to this colony,
which cannot subsist without it. This colony, which now admits all
religions, even Quakers and Generalists, was begun by such as Massa-
chusetts would not suffer to live among them, and is generally hated by
the other colonies, who endeavored several ways to suppress them.
They (the other colonies) maintained other Indians against the Narra-
gansett Indians. The Commissioners of the United Colonies disposed
of a great part of his country, pretending they had conquered it from
the Pequot Indians; but evidence being made that the Narragansetts
had conquered it before the English began their war, and that the
right was in him v/ho sold it to the Rhode Islanders; and his Majesty's
Commissioners, not thinking it justifiable for any colony to dispose of
land without their own limits, determined it for the Rhode Islanders."*
The King, upon receiving the report from his Commissioners, ordered
their return.* He at the same time addressed a letter to Massachusetts,
stating that as he had received full information from his Commissioners
of their treatment in the several colonies, in all of which they had
received great satisfaction but only in that of Massachusetts, and not-
withstanding many expressions of loyalty from those who govern that
colony, so believe that his Majesty hath no jurisdiction over them, but
that all persons must acquiesce in their judgments, however unjust, his
Majesty thought fit to recall his Commissioners, which he hath at the
present done, that he might receive a more particular account from
them; and his Majesty expressly commanded the Governor and Council
of Massachusetts to forthwith send representatives to England to
answer before him the coinplaints prepared against them, and for their
conduct to the Commissioners; and he further expressly charged that
the Governor and Council of Massachusetts immediately set all persons
at liberty who had been imprisoned for petitioning or appealing to his
Commissioners ; and for the better prevention of all differences ordered
that the bounds and limits of the several colonies made by his Majesty's
Commissioners continue to be observed until his Majesty should find
cause to alter them. That full obedience be given to his signification
of his pleasure in all particulars."

CHAPTER XVIII.
The King's coir.pliments in a letter to the government of Rhode Island and
Providence Plantations — The Massachusetts court send ship-masts to the King
in lieu of agents to answer before him — The Massachusetts people protest
against the course of their magistrates — Pawtuxet claimants capture the Court
of Trials — They protest against Williams and his opposition to them — Morton's
scandalous book — Gorton's letter to Morton — Williams' letter to the Plymouth
court — Gorton's letter to Governor Winthrop, Jr., of Connecticut.
The following from the King was at the same time communicated to
the governmenl: of the Rhode Island and Providence Plantations:
" Trusty and well-beloved, we greet you well ; having received so full
and satisfactory account from our Commissioners, both of the good
reception you have given them and also of your dutifulness and obedi-
ence to us, we cannot but let you know how much we are pleased
therewith, judging that respect of yours toward our officers to be the
true and natural fruit which demonstrates what fidelity and affection
toward us is rooted in your hearts. And although your carriage doth
of itself most justly deserve our praise and approbation, yet it seems
to be set off with more lustre by the contrary deportment of the colony
of Massachusetts; as if by their refractoriness they had designed to
recommend and heighten the merit of your compliance with our direc-
tions for the peaceable and good government of our good subjects in
those parts. You may, therefore, assure yourselves that we shall never
be unmindful of this your loyal and dutiful behavior, but shall upon
all occasions take notice of it to your advantage, promising you our
constant protection and royal favor in all things that may concern
your safety, peace and welfare.""
Colonel Cartwright was made the bearer of the sum of the Proceed-
ings of the King's Commissioners and of other letters to his Majesty
and the Lord Chancellor, and of other papers to England. In his
passage the vessel was captured by the Dutch and his papers were taken
and never recovered.' Copies were ordered by the Rhode Island
Assembly to be sent to England by the first opportunity.
With the closing of the work' of the King's Commissioners there
dawned a new era of joy to Gorton and the other Providence and
Warwick settlers. They secured, now for the first time, a measiire of
what they so long ago hoped for under the first charter, " peace in the
quiet enjoyment of their possessions." On account of the difficulties
there had been but few accessions to the inhabitants of Warwick ; they
were in all but a handful of impoverished adventurers ; but comparative
peace for nine years followed the favorable decisions for them, when
again their dwellings, with those of the Providence people's, were
destroyed by the Indian wars.
The King's last letter occasioned the calling of the Massachusetts
Court in an extraordinary session*. It, however, refused to obey the
King's order to again send representatives to vindicate their acts before
him";" and in the' fall thev met again according to adjournment. To
this court nearly two hundred of the principal inhabitants of Massachti-
setts, "our fathers," the editor of the Danforth papers writes, "who
of them bein? for forcerv, and sentenced to pay a fine of £200. to be imprisoned
durinsj- the pleasure of the court, and to Rive bonds t othe amount of £500 tor

exhibited so much good sense and sound poHcy," protested against the
course of the Magistrates, but they still refused to send representatives,
and this time instead sent two large masts' thirty-four yards long and
a shipload of timber, the freight thereon costing them sixteen hundred
pounds^ sterling, as a present to the King, which he graciously accepted.
And the fleet in the West Indies being in want of provisions, a subscrip-
tion and contribution was recommended through the colony for bring-
ing in provisions to be sent to the fleet for his Majesty's service.' Further
action w'as suspended for a time, as Charles was absorbed by exciting
questions at home, his war with Denmark and Holland and his intrigues
with France.
While the people of the Providence colonies had been engaged in
arresting the invasions of their foreign foes, the Pawtuxet party, their
internal foes, had been politically undermining them, having now nearly
secured the control of the government. William Harris, his brother
Thomas Harris and William Carpenter, all three of them Pawtuxet
partners, obtained the places of Assistants, and four Assistants with
the Governor or Deputy Governor, formed the high Court of Trials.
Thus setting as judges in this court, which was likely to have before
it their causes, they might have considered the object of their
scheme to acquire the lands of nearly the whole colony well nigh
accomplished. Many struggles with them and the towns of Providence
and Warwick before the local courts followed. Not succeeding in
these, they continued the strife to strengthen themselves greater polit-
ically by electing controlling majorities in the town councils and in the
General Assembly. The papers upon the subject, which were sent from
Warwick to Clark for his use before the King and Council against
them, were by spy or traitor obtained by them and held at Newport
ior their service." Litigation and costly trials were kept up by them
against the colony and against the towns of Providence and Warwick
to secure an acknowledgment of their claims and place them in posses-
sion of the land.
On November 19th, 1667, a protest similar to the nearly thirty years old
one by the same party, Arnold and his eleven others against Gorton
and others of Providence, was issued now against Williams for " keep-
ing up a difference with Pawtuxet men," signed by " Sixteen Proprietors
of the town." These proprietors were the barest minority of the people
of the town, and ten of them were either Harris partners or closely
allied blood relatives of these partners." Harris, arraigned at court
for calling an Assembly without warrant and for making another rout
of settlers from the lands at Providence, admitted his guilt and plead
the justification of his acts.' And the violent and threatening acts
of the Massachusetts government were such that the Rhode Island and
Providence Assembly passed an act of war of defense against them.'
In 1669, while Gorton in advanced years had retired from official
cares, Nathaniel Morton published a libellous and most scandalous book.

128 LIFE AND TIMES OF SAMUEL GORTON.
Morton professed to have derived the greater part of his information
from Bradford's history, but an examination of this discloses that there
is nothing set down in that history relating to Gorton. Morton also
had been for years the keeper of the Plymouth records, so would have
known that what he .wrote of Gorton was wrong had he not avoided
consulting them. Gorton wrote to him the following indignant letter of
denial :
" I understand that you have lately put forth a book of records ;
whether of Church or State I know not, but this I know, that I am
unjustly enrolled in it. You peremptorily judge of one you know not,
for I am a stranger to you; besides that, your understanding reacheth
not the things whence God exerciseth his people (I Cor. ii, 14) with
wishes of better things in you and all men. I must give you a true
description of our understanding from the Apostle Jude, verse ten:
therefore I have no railing speech to return, or judgment of blasphemy
(as the words are), either to seek any revenge of myself or to comply
with any such spirit I dare not; but I dare not but comply with the
spirit of the Apostle in this his saying: The Lord rebuke thee (Jude 9).
My second word concerns your assuming authority to canonize and
put into the rank and number of Saints such men when they are dead
v/hich in their lifetime were persecutors, especially you having acknowl-
edged them to be such yourself; as also to throw down under your
feet and make as brute beasts having only hope in this present life
such as are known to be fearers of God, worshipping him instantly day
and night, though they be not acknowledged to be such by some par-
ticular Sectaries as yourself, for you are no orthodox Christian because
you deny the whole and complete word of God to be concerned in the
present state of the chuch of Christ, and. have chosen a part of it only
to concern your present profession ; therefore a Sectarie and no Catholic
Christian. But for these things you seek to besmear me with, which
return justly upon yourself, mine adversaries shall be my judges where
any spark of humanity remains. I have often wondered in my younger
days how the Pope came to such a height of arrogance, but since I
cam.e to New England I have perceived the height of that triple crown
and the depth of that sea whence such things arise, and not from the
presence of Peter, but from the corrupting of the Apostles' doctrine,
bending and bowing it to comply with corrupt avarice, pride and super-
stition and vain imaginations of the minds of men setting up their gods
at Dan and Beersheba (if you understand the etymology of the words).
And the glory there is no other but that the Levitical Priests carved
below the mount of God, forming it of the ear and heart jewels of
the Egyptians, adorning carnal Israel who turn back in their hearts
into the house of bondage whence they were delivered.
"A third word I have to say concerns your office of record; mistake
me not, I meddle not with your record further than they concern myself.
Do not vest my words, as once they were in a letter taken in pieces, and
what was plainly expressed to be spoken of the clergy was applied to
the Magistrates, to make me obnoxious among men; and when the
truth appeared it was professed that it was done by a reverend Divine
before the State of England, who got no honor there by that, whoever
he was. Deal fairly with me, as I shall do with you and all men. I
then affirm that your record is fetched further than Cape Cod, namely,
from him who was from the beginning a murderer also; and truth he
abode not in, nor can he abide it. And I take it to be the highest
point of murder to strike at the life of the soul, which life is the spirit
of Christ, which I profess to live by and account all other life not
worthy the name of life with respect unto that (Gal. ii, 20). Your

record, therefore, comes from afar. It ariseth out of the bottomless
pit, the smoke whereof is as a stifling fog of darkness in your book.
" It is untruly recorded concerning Plymouth's dealings with me ;
conceals many passages that were enacted and falsifies things expressed.
A difference between Mr. Ralph Smith and myself was not the occasion
of Plymouth's dealings with me. If you had recorded truly you would
made report that Plymouth's dealings with me had been their threat-
ening of a widow, one Ellen Aldridge, who they said they would send
out of the colony as a vagabond ; whereas nothing was laid to her
charge, only it was whispered that she had smiled in your congrega-
tion ; and she having been a woman of good report in England, and
newly come over; being careful of her credit, she fled into the woods
to escape the shame which was threatened to be put upon her, there
remaining several days and nights, at the least part of the nights, and
absented herself again before people stirred in the morning. My speak-
ing on her behalf (she being then my wife's servant) was the occasion
that Plymouth government took to deal with me. Whereupon they
called me to a court more privately held to examine me, and one of
them indulging upon a point aggravating the matter more than it
deserved, I said he spoke hyperbolically ; whereupon they asked your
Elder then present what was the meaning of that word, and he was
pleased to expound it that I told the Magistrate that he lied. And this
was their dealing with me; and accordingly they gave their own con-
struction of what I spoke afterwards. Only in your court more pub-
licly, the foreman of the jury (your Elder's son, Jonathan Brewer)
befriended me so much as to move the court that I should not speak
on my own behalf at all, and there jA^as no Attorney to be had in those
days that I knew of.
" In the time of these agitations Mr. Smith took offense at me.
Whether of himself or instigated I know not. neither know I any occa-
sion I gave him, unless it was because his wife and others of his family
frequented very usually morning and evening family service, and so
did a religious maid living then with your teacher, Mr. Reyner. Mis-
tress Smith after expressing herself how glad she was that she could
come into a family where her spirit was refreshed in the ordinances of
God as in former days. In this offense taken by Mr. Smith he applied
himself to the Governor of Plymouth for help to break his covenant
made with me, I having hired one part of his house for the term of
four whole years. Whereupon I was persuaded to put the matter to
arbitrament. The men were appointed, my writings delivered as I
remember. John Cooke was one, an eminent member of your church,
who shortly after said the writings were commanded out of their hands
by the Governor' (Prence), insomuch that they could do nothing to
issue the matter, neither could I procure my writings again unto this
day, lest the justice of my cause should appear to any. But the court
proceeded to fine and banish, together with sentence given that my
family should depart out of my own hired house (Acts xxviii, 30)
within the space of fourteen days upon the penalty of another great
sum of money besides my fine paid, and their further wrath and dis-
pleasure. Which time to depart fell to be in as mighty a storm of
snow as I have seen in the country; my wife being turned out of doors
in the said storm with a young chjld at her breast (the infant having
at that very time the measles breaking out upon it, which the cold
forced in again, causing sickness nigh unto death), who had been as

tenderly brought up as any man's wife then in that town; and I myself
to travel in the wilderness I knew not whither; the people comforting
my wife and children when I was gone with this, that it was impossible
for me to come alive to any plantation. I say no more of this now,
though I can say much more, with the testimony of men's consciences ;
but I have been silent to cover other men's shame and not my own, for
I could v/ish to be a bondsman, so long as I have to live upon the face
of the earth, in human respects, that all the agitations and transactions
that have passed between the men of New England and myself were
in print without diminution or extenuation, without covert false deal-
ing or painted hypocrisy. It should be a crown, aye a diadem upon
my grave, if the truth in more public or more private agitations were
but in prose though not in poetry, as it was acted in all the places
wherein you seek to blemish me" (Job xix, 23, 24; xxxi, 35, 36).
" I perceive what manner of honor you put upon me in Rhode Island,
which the actors may be ashamed of and you to be their herald. I
have been silent of things done at Plymouth, Rhode Island and else-
where, and am still in many respects, but have not forgotten them. I
have heard that some of Plymouth then in place were instigators of
the island. I could name the parties of both places, being met together
at Cohannet (Taunton). I carried myself obedient to the government
of Plymouth so far as became me, at the least to the great wrong of
my family more than in above said, as can be made to appear if
required; for I understood they had commission wherein authority was
derived, which authority I reverenced ; but the island at that time had
none, therefore, no authority legally derived to deal with me; neither
had they (Coddington's court) the choice of the people, but set up
themselves. But such fellows as you can bring men to the whipping
post at their pleasure either in person or name without fault committed,
or they invested with any authority.
"Again I affirm you to be a deceitful recorder, in that you declare
that I have spoken words (or to that effect) that there is no state nor
condition of mankind after this present life. I do verily believe that
there is not a man, woman or child upon the face of the earth that
will come forth and say that ever they heard any such words come out
of my mouth. And I appeal unto God, the judge of all secrets, that
there was never such a thought entertained in my heart. Therefore,
I do verily believe it was hatched in the bosom of the proper author of
your scroll. I am far from the opinion you slander me with, for I
hold and shall through God maintain that he who takes upon him to
be an interpreter of God's word and brings not eternity into the things
or matters whereof he speaks, that man is a false prophet or interpreter
of the word of God. You could not have clothed me witli any piece
of Saul's armor that would have fitted me worse than this scandal,
and I know you have many pieces thereof among you.
" Whereas you charge me with passion, I know not your meaning in
that word. It is an ambiguous phrase, but through God's goodness I
know the passion of Christ. And the Apostles' saying, that he fulfils
the rest of his passion in the flesh (Col. i, 24), and he being in a mul-
titude of passions (2 Cor. i, 12, 23). And I know that Elijah was a
man of passions, yet he was strong in prayer. And here you extort
a word from me which I thought would have gone in secret to the grave
with me, for I never uttered it with my lips to any, though my heart
hath resented it many a time. The thirty-three years is upon expiration
since I arrived first in New England, in which tract of time I have
105. Judge Brayton, R, I. H. Tr., No. 17. "Force's Tract, Vol. iv.

washed my face with tears day and night in the ordinances of Jesus
Christ, under the scandals, reproaches, calumniations and wrorigs put
upon me, for no other reason (though covered with other wizards)
but for the profession of Jesus Christ. Yet have not these passions
been in any imbittered sourness of spirit, but from enlarged desires,
when the thing desired hath been presented as in Joseph when he saw his
brethren, and in Jacob when Rachel appeared unto him. And I know
they are reserved in a bottle of transparent glasses and written
not on the black lines of the oldness of the letter, but in the lines of the
light of life, or newness of the spirit. And I well know that God
hath turned men's dealings with me into schools of learning (over-
shooting them in their own bow), as God did in that carnal and cruel
act of Joseph's brethren, that the glory might be in themselves and not
in him" (Gen. xlv, 4, 5). I have told you in this a small portion of my
passion, yet more than was my purpose to have done. Scandalize me
for it, and tell the wrold of it again and also of what I have lost by
it; and whilst you are calculating and summing up the number of days
contained in so many years I will appeal to God, the searcher of hearts,
as a witness of the truth which I now write. Let me tell you this much,
that I write now in passion, for it draws tears from mine eyes to see
the nature of man (which I myself by nature am) so evidently and
perspicuously appear in you; for he that writes or speaks of the word
of God and cannot apply unto himself (in a true sense) whatsoever
is contained therein, he is no true minister of salvation, but of con-
demnation (2 Cor. iii, 9; xi, 26, 27). But let this stand as a parable
to you and your teachers, whilst you in the meantime vent your corrupt-
ing and contagious poison.
"And whereas you say in your records that I am a sordid man in
my life. I tell you what I say of that, and do you hide it from none:
That I dare be so bold as to lay my conversation among men to the
rule of humanity with any minister among you. In all the passages of
my life which God hath brought me through from my youth unto this
day, that it hath been as comely and innocent as his, according to present
occasions, so that nothing shall be covered or painted over with
hypocrisy. Whose ox or whose ass have I taken, or when or where
have I lived upon other men's labors and not wrought with my own
hands for things honest in the sight of men, to eat my own bread? But
these things are beneath my spirit, either to speak or write ; but you
force to apologize; for would any man think that the spirit of one
man should be so audaciously impudent as to bring forth such falsities?
" I would say something of the foundation of your church at Plymouth
if I thought it were not a matter too low to talk of, for when suit was
made to the church in Holland, out of which your church came, to
procure a dismission of a sister there to the church of Plymouth, though
the gentlewoman upon occasion had been in New England divers years,
yet a dismission would not be granted. Their preaching member then
with them I knew to be a godly man and was fam.iliarly acquainted with
him now about half a hundred years ago in Gorton, where I was born
and bred and the fathers of mv body for manv g-enerations. The Elders
gave the ground and reason that they could not dismiss their sister to
the church at Plymouth in New England because it consisted of an
apostacised people fallen from the faith of the Gospel, and when through
such importunities a writing was procured, properly of advice to their
sister how to carry herself, her husband the solicitor, whom you know,
I need not to name, and I think you know after what manner the writing
was read in your church by your ancient Elder: part conceded and
part expounded to the best. If you know not I do, for I was present,
132 LIFE AND TIMES OF SAMUEL GORTON.
Now to have this testimony of aspersion concerning the foundation
of your church by the mother out of which you came may be consid-
ered, I think you can say, little more orders of the church of Rome.
"A fourth word I have to say concerning the stuff, as you contempt-
uously call it. What stuff you ignorantly make of the word of God.
For the rest of your expressions, which you charge upon us, you falsely
apply them. We never called sermons of salvation, tales ; nor any
ordinances of the Lord an abomination or vanity; nor holy ministers,
necromancers. We honor, reverence and practice these things; there-
fore through guilt you falsify our intent. And, however, you terra
me a belcher out of error, I would have you to know that I hold my
call to preach the Gospel of Christ not inferior to the call of any
minister in the country, though I was not bred up in the schools of
human learning; and I bless God that I never was, lest I had been
drowned in pride through Aristotle's principals and other human
philosophy. Yet this I doubt not of, but that there hath been as much
true use made of the languages within this twenty years past for the
opening of the Scripture in the place where I lived as hath been in
any church in New England. When I was last in England through
importunities I was persuaded to speak the word of God publicly in
divers and eminent places as any were then in London; and also about
London and places more remote; many times the ministers of the place
being hearers, and sometimes many together at appointed lectures in
the country. I have spoken in the audience of all sorts of people and
personages under the title of a Bishop or a King; and was invited to
speak in the presence of such as had the title of Excellency; and I was
lovingly embraced wherever I came, in the word uttered, with the
most eminent Christians in the place. And for leave-taking at our
departure, not unlike the ancient custom of the Saints upon record in
the Holy Scriptures, and I daresay as evident testimony of God's
power going forth with his word spoken, manifested as ever any in
New England had, publicly and immediately after the words delivered;
the people giving thanks to God that ever such came to be uttered
among them; with entreatly to stay, and further manifestations, in as
eminent places as are in England; whence myself did know the Doctors
of note had formerly preached and at that time such as had more honors
than ordinary preachers have; who gave me the call thither in way of
loving Christian fellowship, the like abounding in the hearer. There-
fore, I know not with what New England is leavened or spirited.
Indeed, once in London three or four malignant persons caused me to
be summoned before a committee of Parliament because I was not
a university man. I appeared and my accusers also, one of them a
schoolmaster in Christ's Hospital, another or two Elders of independent
or separated churches, who were questioned what they had against me.
They said I had preached. Divers of the committee answered and said
that was true, they had heard me. The chairman asked my accusers
what I had said. They said I had spoken of cherubims, but they could
not repeat anything; but they said they were sure I had made the
people of God sad. But the sum of all their accusations was brought
out in a book which they said contained divers blasphemies. The
book was only that which was printed concerning the proceedings of
the Massachusetts against myself and others. The honorable committee
took the book and looked over it and found no such thing there as
they ignorantly suggested. Then my accusers desired Mr. Winslow
might be called forth, whom they had procured to appear there, whom
they thought would oppose me strongly with respect to the book. He
spoke judiciously and manlike, desiring to be excused, for he had noth-

ing to say concerning me in that place ; his business with me lay before
another committee of ParHament ; which gave the Table good satis-
faction. My answers and arguments were honorably taken by the
chairman and the rest of the committee, and myself dismissed as a
preacher of the Gospel.
" Some of you have upbraided us as not having the word of God with
us because of our paucity. I think those called Quakers are as many
as you; but I think them never the better for this multitude, nor the
Papists who cover that part of the earth called Christendom. It hath
ever been the way of the world to make itself great by multitude (Gen.
X, 8, 9, 10; Hosea i, 7, 11) ; but Christ stilleth his flock to be little and
his disciples few (I Cor. xvi, 19).
"A fifth word I have to say is, in that you send the reader to a book
printed by Edw. Winslow for a more full and perfect intelligence.
Mr. Winslow and myself had humanlike correspondence in England,
and before the honorable committee which he referred himself unto;
and not to wrong the dead, I saw nothing to the contrary but that I
had as good acceptation in the eyes of that Committee as himself had,
though he had a greater charter and a larger commission than myself
had. I do not know or remember any particulars in that book, for since
the publishing thereof I have always had my thoughts exercised about
things of better and greater concernment. I saw it in London, but read
but little of it ; and when I came over to these parts my ancient friend,
Mr. John Brown, discoursing v«/ith me about those affairs in England,
told me he had read such a book printed or put forth by Mr. Winslow.
I told him I had seen it, but read very little of it. Mr. Brown, you
know, was a man approved among you and elsewhere (for aught I
know or ever heard) wherever he came; an Assistant in your govern-
ment, a Commissioner for the United Colonies, etc., who thus spoke
to me in our discourse. I will not pervert nor alter a word of the will
or words of the dead. I say he affirmed this unto me, that he would
m„aintain that there were forty lies printed in that book ; and I doubt
not but Mr. Brown's word and judgment in his time would have been
a'^ceptable and taken by any of you as authority regarding the book.
Therefore add thy writing unto it if any spark of humanity be left,
to inform your readers of the truth of things ; or else take it to your-
self that you are he who goes about to seduce and corrupt the minds of
men with falsities. Warwick, June 30th, 1669. Samuel Gorton.'"'"
It is not known that Morton was wanting in the humanity to add the
writing in acknowledgment of his errors, for such a writing could not
at the time been published in the colonies, the only press then in the
colonies being that which was under the control of the Massachusetts
authorities.
There were many people in Massachusetts and in Rhode Island who
felt the need of something to justify their history, and accordingly the
truth as Gorton had made plain was suppressed, and the scandalous
fiction of Morton was seized upon with avidity and copied and recopied
in hundreds of thousands of books, and is to be found in all libraries
having new England histories ; while the truth, the letter of Gorton's
here given, the writer could find but in one of the public libraries in
the second largest of our cities. The circulation of Morton's fable
was so profuse that it became the generally accepted correct life sketch
of Samuel Gorton.
The following from Roger Williams was sent to Major Mason and the
Court of Plymouth: "When the next year after my banishment

(1636-1637) the Lord drew the bow of the Pequot war against the
country in which Sir the Lord made yourself with others a blessed
instrument of peace to all New England, I had my share of service to
the whole land in that Pequot business inferior to very few that acted,
for I upon letters received from the Governor and council at Boston,
requesting me to use my utmost and speediest endeavors to break and
hinder the league labored for by the Pequots against the Mohegans and
Pequots against the English, the Lord helped me immediately to put
my life into my hand. Three days and nights my business forced me
to lodge and mix with the bloody Pequot ambassadors, whose hands
and arms, we thought, wreaked with the blood of my countrymen,
when God wondrously preserved me and helped me to break to pieces
the Pequot negotiation. Considering (upon frequent exceptions against
Providence men) that we had no authority for civil government, I
went purposely to England, and upon my report and petition the Parlia-
ment granted us a charter of government for these parts, so judged
vacant on all hands. When at Portsmouth on Rhode Island some of
ours, in a General Assembly (November, 1644) motioned their planting
on this side Pawcatuck river, I, hearing that some of the Massachusetts
reckoned this land theirs by conquest (from the Pequots), dissuaded
from the motion until the matter should be amicably debated and corn-
posed ; for though I questioned not our right, etc., yet I feared it would
be inexpedient and offensive and procreative of these heats and fires,
to the dishonoring of the King's Majesty. Some time after the Pequot
war was closed in 1639, and our charter from the Parliament (March
14, 1643-4) the government of Massachusetts wrote (August 2.y, 1645)
to myself, then Chief-officer in this colony, of their receiving of a
patent from the Parliament for the then vacant lands, as an addition to
the Massachusetts, etc., and thereupon requesting me to exercise no
more authority, etc., for they wrote their charter was granted some few
weeks before ours (Ante, p. — ). I returned what I believed righteous
and v^eighty to the hands of my true friend, Mr. Winthrop, the first
mover of my coming into these parts, and to that answer of mine I
never received the least reply; only it is certain that at Mr. Gorton's
complaint (May, 1646) against the Massachusetts the Lord High
Admiral, President, said openly in a full meeting of the Commissioners
that he knew no other charter for these parts than what Mr. Williams
had obtained, and he was sure that that charter which the Massachusetts
Englishmen pretended had never passed the table. Upon our humble
address by our agent, Mr. Clark, to his Majesty (1661), and his gracious
promise to renew our former charter, Mr. Winthrop by some mistake
had extended upon our line, and not only so, but, as it is said, upon the
lines of other charters also. But the King's Majesty sending his
Commissioners (1664) to reconcile the differences of and to settle the
bounds between the colonies, yourselves know how the King himself,
therefore, hath given a decision to this controversy. Our grant is
crowned with the King's extraordinary favor to this colony, as being a
banished one, in which his Majestv declared himself that he M'ould
experiment, whether civil government could consist with such liberty
of conscience. This his Majesty's grant was startled at by his Majesty's
high officers of State, who were to view it in course before sealing,
but fearing the lion's roaring they couched, against their wills, in
obedience to his Majesty's pleasure. Some of yours, as I heard lately
told tales to the Archbishop of Canterbury, viz. : That we are a profane
people and do not keep the Sabbath, but some do plough, etc. But,

first, you told him not how we suffer freely all other persuasions, yea,
the common prayer, which yourselves will not suffer.'"
In 1675 Gorton received information that the Connecticut Indians
intended to invade the Narragansett country. He had early, by his
influence with the Narragansetts, prevailed upon them to observe peace,
to abide the tribunal of the English government and refrain from
avenging the death of their Chief; and he sent a request to Governor
Winthrop of Connecticut that he would have the now intended invasion
forbidden. Continuing upon the subject, Gorton writes: "My thoughts
are in exercise concerning the policy of the English in these parts.
People are apt in these days to give credit to every flying and false
report, and not only so, but they will report it again, and by that means
they become deceivers and tormentors of one another by speech and
jealousies. There is a rumor that the Indians are in combination to
root out the English, which many fear (for my own part, I fear no such
thing) as though God brought his people hither to destroy them. I
rather fear our vain hopes groundless expectations, that they will
become Christians, when they are invested with naught else but litteral
principles and grounds of hypocrisy. The Gospel is of a purer nature
than to consist in ornaments and telling of history without revealing
the mystery thereof, which is Christ in his saints the hope of glory.
I remember the time of the wars in Ireland (when I was young, in
Queen Elizabeth's days of famous memory), when much English blood
was spilt by a people like imto these, the Earl of Terrone being their
leader, where many valiant soldiers lost their lives, divers noble men
earnest for religion, whose names are upon my heart still ; and in my
latter days I have been in company with ancient preachers of God's
word, men of God, now fallen asleep, v/ho have lamented the loss of
some of those noble m.en (naming them) with weeping tears, having
in their lifetime been intimate with them in religious and godlike con-
cernments. I think we have no cause to suspect God's hand toward us
in these parts, which hath removed us into a place more suitable for
us, wherein the people are multiplied beyond thoughts of heart ; and
with all the natives decreasing by war among themselves and by dis-
ease. If God make room by such means for the spreading of the
English, it seems more suitable than the sword unto that royal leave
which was granted to his subjects to plant themselves in these parts;
and also to the charge given together with it, namely, that none of the
English should take any lands from the natives without giving them
satisfaction for it. And is it to be doubted that the not observing this
charge is a great and universal grudge among the Indians at this day;
while men take up lands and plant upon them as their own, without
any retribution ; at the least not to the Chief Sachems, if any small
thing at all, to some base, inferior fellow, which makes the Sachems
afraid lest by this means in short time they shall be spued out of the
country for want of land to reside upon. And for aught that I have
learned, this was the cause of that barbarous slaugther made of our
friends at the Dutch plantations. Sir, my humble submission consists
in my prayers to God for you and yours."^

CHAPTER XIX.
The King Philip's War — The swamp battle — Capture of Philip's wife and son —
The Narragansetts' extinction — Warwick destroyed — Providence and Paw-
tuxet burned, and two of the family of Massachusetts ex-subject and Pawtuxet
claimant slain.
In 1675 began what is known as the PhiHp's war, the final conflict
between the colonies and the Indians, which resuhed in the latter's
extermination. Though the Rhode Island and Providence Plantations
hardly took an active part in it, her geographical position caused her
to suffer more than the other colonies. Warwick being more exposed,
was one of the chief sufferers. The storm had been gathering ever
since the tragic death of Miantinomi. Although neither England nor
Rhode Island could give the Narragansetts the expected redress, they,
through the advice chiefly of Gorton and Williams and the friendship
existing between them and the people of Providence, allowed the death
of their Chief, Miantinomi, to pass unavenged.. But they were eventu-
ally, and from circumstances that left them no honorable choice, forced
into the conflict. Philip, the second son of Massasoit, was the Chief of
the Wampanoags. His elder brother Wamsutta, who had succeeded
his father as Sachem, had fallen under suspicion of the settlers, been
seized and confined, from the effects of which, it was believed, he fell
into a fever and died. Philip succeeded his brother as Sachem, and
the English, suspecting him of plotting against them, charged him and
with such proofs that he made a confession, and submitted to the dis-
arming of all his people. Subsequently, a new exaction was made,
requiring him to pay a £200 penalty, and not to sell land or make
war without the consent of Plymouth. Philip, in a reply to a friend
who tried to persuade him from the contemplated war, complained:
" They tried my people by their own laws and assessed damages which
they could not pay. Their land was taken. At length a line o^ division
was agreed upon between the English and my people, and I myself
was to be responsible. Sometimes the cattle of the English would
come into the cornfields of my people, for they did not make fences
like the English. I must then be seized and confined till I sold another
tract of my country for satisfaction of all damages and costs. Thus
tract after tract is gone; but a small part of the dominion of my ances-
tors remains. I am determined not to live till I have no country."
Acting upon this, he appealed to the sympathies and the recollections
of wrong to the different tribes, and urged them to forget their ancient
animosities and combine for restoring them to their liberties and their
domain. He gathered around him a great body of warriors, joined
with him most of the other tribes, and the general war was commenced.
The Narragansetts remained neutral. They received with kindness,
fed, clothed and nursed the old men, women, children and disabled
warriors that took refuge with them. These acts drew down upon them
the more the hostility of the English " and opened for them the gulf
for their destruction." The Narragansetts v/ere ordered to give them
up; Canonchet, the son and successor of Miantinomi, refused, and a
force of eleven hundred and thrity-five men, besides volunteers that
joined it, marched through the towns of Providence and Warwick
against them. On the next day, December nth, the armv was on the
inarch to the place where the Indians had taken refuge. Here occurred
the celebrated " Swamp " battle. Upwards of two hundred of the
English were killed and wounded. Within the enclosure or fort five
hundred Indian wigwams were set on fire, in the flames of which
PROVIDENCE AND RHODE ISLAND PLANTATIONS. 137
perished not less than three hundred of the sick and wounded, the
infants and aged. The entire loss of the Indians in killed, wounded
and prisoners was not less than one thousand, including those who
perished in the burning wigwams. This was the principal and decisive
battle, though afterwards there were several skirmishes and many
towns were burned.
About the middle of January one of the elder Sachems of the Narra-
gansetts sent a message to General Winslow, requesting a month's
delay in order to adjust the terms of peace; but he regarded this as
an artifice to gain time, and shortly after, on January 27th, 1676,
marched to the swamp where they were posted. They, anticipating
his approach, abandoned this country, pursued by the English forces,
and seventy of their people were captured and killed. Ten times in
the course of 1676 the English swept the devoted region and rooted
out all that dared to remain; all were killed, captured, or dispersed,
many perishing miserably by famine. From the 27th of January, 1676,
the day of the departure of the main body, the Narragansetts ceased to
exist as a distinct people. They blended with the followers of Philip
and shared his fortunes.
Canonchet, the son of Miantinomi, the last grand Sachem of the
Narragansetts, was captured in the month of April. He was offered
his life if he would procure the submission of his tribe. This he refused
to do. When told he must die, he replied : " I like it well. I shall
die before my heart is soft, or I have said anything unworthy of
myself." To insure the fidelity of the friendly tribes by committing
them to a deed that would forever deter the Narragansetts from seeking
their alliance, it was arranged that each of them should take a part
in the execution. Accordingly, the Pequots shot him, the Mohegans
cut off his head and quartered him, and the Natics, who joined the
English, burned his body and sent his head as " a token of love and
loyalty to the Commissioners at Hartford."^
July 2d " the English army marched to the south and surprised them
in a cedar swamp near Warwick. A great slaughter ensued. Mangus,
the old queen of the Narragansetts, a sister of Ningret, was taken and
with ninety other captives was put to the sword. One hundred and
seventy-one Indians fell in this massacre, without the loss of a single
man of the English. Thence they scoured the country between Provi-
dence and Warwick, killing many more."
" Captain Church was commissioned by Governor Winthrop to pro-
ceed with a volunteer force of two hundred men, chiefly Indians, to
attack Philip in his retreat near Mount Hope. For several days they
pursued the Indians from place to place, killing many and taking a
large number of prisoners, among whom were Philip's wife and only
son." Philip was subsequently pursued into a swamp, where he was
shot through the heart by Alderman, an Indian, whose brother Philip
had indignantly slain because he had counselled him to sue for peace.
Thus perished Philip, who declared he would not live until he had no
country. His head was sent to Plymouth, where it remained set up
on a pole for twenty years ; one hand was sent to Boston as a trophy,
and the other was given to Alderman, who exhibited it for money.
The body was quartered and hung upon four trees as a vivid illustra-
tion of the barbarity of the age.* Philip's chief councillor, Anawon,
escaped from the swamp with most of Philip's followers, but was a
few days after captured by Capt. Church, who sent him alive to Ply-

mouth, where he was shot. Most of the other captives who were con-
spicuous for their bravery or position met a similar fate." Quinapin,
a cousin of Canonchet, and next in command to him in the great swamp
fight, with his brother, was tried at Newport by a council of war and
\vas shot. The young Metacomet, son of Philip, with many other
captives, was sent to Spain and the West Indies, where they were sold
as slaves. Until after the invasion of the Narragansetts, the people
of Rhode Island appear not to have participated in the war with their
Indian neighbors, and regarded it as at least of doubtful justice; but
when commenced, it left them no choice. They subsequently so far
followed the example of other colonies as to execute one if not two
of the Narragansett under-Sachems as adherents of Philip, and to sell
some of the captives, not as slaves for life, but as servants for a ter:;i
of years.* To this sale some men who had been leaders in the liberal
party agreed, but Gorton v/as not one of them; we never find him
violating the unwavering prmciples of his character by engaging in
so inconsistent an act.^
The war was now at an end ; not a single free Narragansett remained
in the country they had lately occupied. The Warwick settlers, from
their exposed situation, had early^ removed their stock and goods to
Portsmouth ;° but their dwellings, all with the exception of one of stone,
had been burned, every field had been laid waste, and the bridges as well
as every other improvement destroyed; the people for the second time
found a home on the island. Tradition says that Gorton was rowed
by friendly Indians across the bay to a place of safety. Providence
was burned, destroyed, only five houses remaining, and Pawtuxet also
was burned ; and William Carpenter, one of the Pawtuxet partners,
ex-subject of Massachusetts, who lived on land of Warwick, was
despoiled of 200 sheep and 50 cattle, and two of his household were
slain.'"

Charles the Second had now for some time, at least since the time
of the closing in 1667 of the work of his Commissioners, been absorbed
with exciting questions at home to the unavoidable neglect of the colonies,
during which interval, although the signification of his will respecting
the bounds set by his Commissioners had been in some parts regarded
by the Massachusetts Magistrates, his other wishes were not obeyed;
and the Narragansetts, for whom he had undertaken to provide protec-
tion, had been destroyed. But the continued complaints and urgent
appeals to him from the neighboring colonies against the proceedings
of the Massachusetts Bay rulers now awakened his renewed attention.'
The Massachusetts Court, unable to longer delay in violation of the
King's repeated commands" to send representatives to appear before
him, on October 30th, 1676, sent Stoughton and Buckley to England.'
The Rhode Island Assembly in May, 1677, chose Sanford and Baily,
of Newport, agents to the government in England;* but their departure
was delayed pending the suits of the Pawtuxet claimants.
Harris, having in the trials in behalf of the Pawtuxet claimants been
unsuccessful, had in 1675 gone to England and laid a petition before
the King. Harris petitioned for a commission of eight judges, two of
whom should come from each of the four colonies of Plymouth,
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island, assisted by a jury of
twelve men, two of whom should come from Plymouth, four from
Massachusetts, three from Connecticut and three from Rhode Island;
and a royal order granting Harris' petition was issued. Plymouth,
Massachusetts and Connecticut had been possessed of much more than
one-half of the entire colony of Rhode Island and had claims enough
set up to cover the whole, and Harris was at this time in league also
with Connecticut, acting as her agent in England in urging her claims
against the colony of Rhode Island. Plarris was at the same time in the
pay of Connecticut for advancing her claims to Narragansett ; of
Plymouth for advancing her claims to Providence and Pawtuxet; and
of the Rhode Island government — the Newport Cabal — for advancing
his own and his partners' claims to Providence and Warwick; the
Pawtuxet partners being willing that any government should have juris-
diction that vv^ould aid them in possessing the soil. A bill from Harris
for his services was presented to the court at Newport on October
27th, 1662, and another for his service against the town of Warwick was
presented to the court at Newport on November 17th, 1677.'' Nine of
the twelve jurymen came from Plymouth, Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut colonies. These colonies wanted jurisdiction over these lands.
Rhode Island seemed doomed. This court prepared for business in
Boston and then adjourned to meet November 17th, 1677, in Provi-
dence. Four days later the jury rendered their verdict in favor of
Harris, sustaining the claims of the Pawtuxet party to the whole
northern and western portions of the colony west of the line of separa-
tion from Providence, which was recorded by them in Boston, and
placed the running of the line as requested by Harris upon the town of
Providence. A delay was effected by Providence denying the line to
be run.
The Warwick people, alarmed both at the success of the Pawtuxans
and the claims urged by Connecticut to the Narragansett dominion, on
the 29th of November' resolved to, at their own expense (any of the
other towns contributing to it thr.t chose to), send the former potent
Island. 'Ryerson's Loyalists of Amer., i, 187. *Hutch5nson'9

agents of the colony' to lay a petition clearly reciting these causes to his
Majesty for his determination. Gorton's death occurred on the loth
of the next month, December, but Greene and Holden departed with
the petition almost immediately thereafter. They were received by the
King, as he had promised, with his most gracious favor, and forthwith
procured from him in council a stay of the proceedings.' This order
from the King, although not the final act, was nevertheless fatal to the
claims of the Pawtuxans, for contemporary with this the political
prestige of the party passed and Rhode Island was again saved from
destruction. " Gorton and his companions triumphed at last. Rhode
Island owes them a heavy debt.'"
The many orders of Parliament and of his royal hand and the express
provisions of his charter, that the inhabitants of the Rhode Island and
Providence Plantations should have perfect freedom to pass and repass
without let or molestation into the other colonies, and to hold inter-
course with such of their people as were willing, " any act, clause or
sentence in any of the said colonies provided or that shall be provided to
the contrary notwithstanding," and his letter with it expressly calling
the Governor and council of Massachusetts to it and requiring their
obedience, had been by the Massachusetts rulers to this day unheeded.
In the hearing before the King and council the Warwick men at once
fell upon Massachusetts and the Massachusetts agents " with great
severity in a petition, relating the facts of the case, exposing the falla-
cies of their opponents, repelling their attacks upon the loyalty of Rhode
Island and adducing record proofs of the disloyalty of Massachu-
setts," concluding with a series of requests; first, that a Supreme Court
of jurisdiction over all the colonies might be erected in New England,
whereby equal justice might be rendered, boundary disputes adjusted
and civil war, which must otherwise result from " the oppression of
an insulting and tyrannical government," might be averted; second,
that the royal letter of 1666, confirming the acts of the Commissioners
in behalf of Rhode Island, might be renewed; third, that Connecticut
might be compelled to restore the town of Westerly taken from Rhode
Island by force; and lastly, that the decisions of Massachusetts against
Warwick men, especially the decree of banishment against them, now of
thirty-five years' standing, might be annulled. The original of " this
masterly State paper, as conclusive as it is severe,'"" is filed in the
Bristish State Paper Office.^ It is not printed in the Rhode Island
Historical Collection, although it should be, as it is the only one of
Rhode Island's papers preserved that is a fitting reply to the apologetical
reply of Massachusetts. Rhode Island does herself injustice by publish-
ing in her collection, as she does, one without the other.
The petition was accompanied by various documents corroborating
the position advanced by its authors. These documents are not all
filed with the petition, but are scattered among other papers in the
same and other volumes in the British State Paper Office. Reference
is made to a letter in answer to Gorton's addressed to the King which

chusetts Magistrates to revoke the order of banishment is that to which
reference is intended.
On April 27th, 1678, the King addressed the Massachusetts Court
a letter of rebuke and instructions ; among the latter that the oath of
allegiance as established by law in England be administered to all of
the proper age.'
The Warwick men, who in point of talent had few or no superiors
in the colony, showed themselves fully competent for the most difficult
labors of defense or negotiation, and were fully employed in the defense
of the rights of the colony. The Newport agents remained at home.
An advertisement, dated July 30th, 1678, and signed by Simon Brad-
street and others of Boston, styling themselves a company to dispose
of the Narragansett lands, was posted in Newport and other towns;
and Connecticut had petitioned to the King for a part of the Narragan-
sett territory. The Warwick men were called upon to answer the
averment of the petitioners. This they did with signal ability. The
printed advertisement to dispose of the Narragansett land was presented
by them to the Royal Council, and an order was at once issued for
the Massachusetts agents to appear and show upon what title the lands
were claimed. The Massachusetts Agents informed the Council that it
was a private claim. This admission, together with the representation of
Greene and Holden in answer to the Connecticut petition, was embraced
in an order of council issued the same day requiring that notice should
be sent to New England to leave King's Province in its present condi-
tion, and that those who claimed ownership or jurisdiction there should
forthwith send agents to prove their right before the King. The following
week a peremptory order was issued a^nnulling the sentence of banish-
ment that had been passed by the Massachusetts Court against the
Warwick people thirty-five years before, and commanding the said
court to repeal the same and to allow those persons, at all times, free
access within their jurisdiction. The terms of the order were imusu-
ally decided and indicate a strong feeling of condemnation in the
Royal Council at the arbitrary conduct of Massachusetts toward the
adherents of Gorton.^
This was a gratifying advance toward ending the occasion for the
complaints of the Rhode Island and Providence Plantations against
Massachusetts and other colonies. The Warwick men were longer
detained upon incidental matters of the colony, after effectually dispos-
ing of which they returned home. The agents for the other colonies,
not offering anything to induce their lordship to differ in opinion
from that expressed in his order of December 13th, a decree was later
issued declaring void all other than the Rhode Island and Providence
Plantations claims.'
The services of the Warwick men to the colony were rendered
gratuitious; and they neither asked or received any payment for their
passage to England nor maintenance while there. After their return,
the government at Newport voted them £45, which they had paid on
the colony's account in England, and £15, the amount of their passage
home.°

The Massachusetts agents returned with a letter from the King to the
Massachusetts Magistrates bearing date July 24th, 1679,' with com-
mands to send over other agents within six months from the receipt
of the letter, empowered to negotiate a settlement, to repeal all laws
that were contrary to the laws of England, requiring suitable obedience
in respect to freedom and liberty of conscience, and appointing Edward
Randolph a collector and surveyor for the colonies. Another letter
on September 30th, 1680, commanded obedience to the former letter,
and that the representatives to attend his Council be sent within three
months from the reception of the present order.' This letter led to
the calling of a special court, and Samuel Nowell and John Richards
were elected as agents to England, according to the King's commands ;
but with power so restricted as to render them incapable of giving
satisfaction, and a writ of quo-warranto was issued June 27th, 1683,
summoning the Corporation of Massachusetts Bay to defend their acts
against the complaints and charges made against them; and judgment
was entered the next year pronouncing their charter void.*
The person selected by the King to govern the people of the provinces
was Pusey Kirk, but before his commission and instruction were com-
pleted all was delayed by the demise of King Charles, which took place
the 6th of February, 1685.
Dudley was commissioned by the new King as Governor, with instruc-
tions to give universal toleration of religion. Dudley was within seven
months superseded by Andros, with instructions of a more stringent
character, which instructions he fulfilled to the letter.
It is singular that toleration in Massachusetts should have been
proclaimed by the arbitrary James in a declaration above and contrary
to the law for which he received the thanks of the ministers of that
colony, but which resulted in the loss of his crown in England.'
James* Declaration of Indulgence was proclaimed 1687, and now
for the first time Quakers, Baptists and Episcopalians enjoyed tolera-
tion in Massachusetts. That system or religious tyranny, coeval with
the settlement of New England, thus unexpectedly received its death-
blow from a Roman Catholic, who professed a willingness to allow
religious freedom to others as a means of securing it for himself.'*

It was in the spring of 1677, after the Indian war, that Gorton and his
people again, and this time permanently, returned to Warwick, their
home, a barren waste; themselves, most of them, destitute of all earthly
goods to start again, many of them now in their old age, at the foot,

the toiling rounds of life's ladder. With undaunted courage they set
to rebuilding their dwellings. Yet suffering as they were from despolia-
tion, few people were as happy as they who now enjoyed the triumph
of the principles for which they had set apart their lives ; unmolestedly
laboring to rear for themselves comfortable abodes and surroundings,
while worshipping God according to the dictates of their own con-
sciences.
In reviewing the efforts of Massachusetts to extend her jurisdiction
and to attach to herself any residents of the Providence Plantations,
and to lead the people in revolt against the charter, the claims of the
other colonies and the great sufferings and trials that the people
endured, the historian of Rhode Island says : " As v,-e examine the
progress of this deeply laid scheme and observe the steadiness v/ith
which it was pressed through a long series of years, we cannot but
admire the firmness of our ancestors in foiling at every turn, nor can
we fail to recognize the hand of a Supreme pov/er in preserving a colony
whose peculiar principles at first made it an object of aversion, and
finally were adopted as the cardinal doctrine of a whole nation.'"
On the 4th of June, 1677, Gorton v/as chosen to the Town Council of
Warwick for the ensuing year, and his son Samuel was at the same time
chosen Treasurer. On November 27th the father signed a deed of
lands in the Narragansett country to his sons and his six daughters and
their husbands ; and on the 27th of November by another deed he
divided the remainder of his estate among his three sons, Samuel, John
and Benjamin. To Samuel for aid in supporting the family w^hile
he was absent in England he gives his homestead and library; he also
committed to him the care of his mother, providing that she be main-
tained with convenient housing and necessaries and that means should
be furnished for her " recreation in case she desired to visit her
friends."'
Before the close of the year, on or the days before the loth of
December, the leader of these early struggling and liberty-loving people,
Samuel Gorton, was called to his rest, he being eighty-five years of age.
Ripe in years spent in good works, " always enjoying the confidence
of his fellow-townsmen,"^ and " retaining to the close of his days the
affectionate esteem of his fellows and fellow-citizens."^ " Gentle and
sympathetic in private intercourse, generous and sympathetic in nature,
he awarded to others the same liberty of thought and expression which
he claimed for himself."* " He was universally beloved by all his
neighbors and the Indians, who esteemed him not only as a friend,
but one high in communion with God in heaven. Gorton was a holy
man, wept day and night for the sins and blindness of the v/orld; his
eyes were a fountain of tears and always full of tears; a man full of
thought; had a long walk out through the trees or woods, where he
constantly walked morning and evening, and even in the depth of night,
alone by himself for contem.plation."" In one of his last letters, that to
Governor John Winthrop, Jr., of Connecticut, he mentions death with
the request that it "be accompanied with a requiem at his departure,
the burden of which should be this: 'that true Christian religion con-
sists only in that vv'herein the soul of a believer continues still in com-
munion with the Spirit of God in Christ, when the natural body is gone
down to the grave.' '"

144 LIFE AND TIMES OF SAMUEL GORTON.
" I have read almost every word that is legible of the records of the
colony from its first settlement till after the death of Gorton. From the
first establishment of the government he was almost constantly in
office, and during a long life there is no instance of record to my knowl-
edge of any reproach or censure cast upon him, no complaint against
him, although history furnishes abundance of evidence that there was
no lack of enemies to his person, principles or property. This can
hardly be said of any other settler in the colony of any standing. It
was this fact that fixed my opinion of the general tenor of his conduct
and the uprightness of his character. I remember an instance in which
he applied to be excused from serving in the Court of Commissioners,
and assigned his long services as a reason. He constantly enjoyed
the confidence of his fellow-townsmen and received from them the
highest honors in their gift.'" " To the charge made against Lim by
Morton he could truly as well as indignantly say : ' Whose ox or whose
ass have I taken, or when or where have I lived upon other men's
labors and not wrought with my own hands for the things honest in
the sight of men to eat my own bread?' None could gainsay him,
although his reputation for morality as well as righteousness was laid
broadly open and in the search for everything picked clean to the
bone.'"* " The whole tenor of his life shows that he was conscientious,
sincere and in all matters of fact honest and truthful.'" " The com-
munity in the rr.idst of which he lived, trusted and honored him to the
last, and few testimonials to integrity of character are better than
this. It is a remarkable circumstance that he always retained the
affection of his neighbors and friends. The few ' dissenting freemen '
of Warwick never were his neighbors or friends, but were interloping
enemies who followed him to Warwick to decry his virtues, to break
up the settlement, to obtain his land. He generally succeeded in satis-
fying the candid. That he must have been possessed of great and shin-
ing virtues is sufficiently evident from the fidelity with which his
early adherents followed through life his changing fortunes and by
their never-failing confidence in his worthiness to fill public office
of the highest trust and of the greatest importance to the general
weal.""
He was their chosen Representative to the Assembly in the years
1649. 51. 52, 55. 56, 57. 58, 59. 60, 62, 63, 64, 65, and 66; served a
number of terms in the Upper House, corresponding to the present
Senate; was Associate Judge of their highest court; and was their
President or Governor for the term beginning in 1651 and ending in
1652. He was a multitude of times selected to audit the accounts of the
colony, to care for the Lord Admiral's letters and other highly-prized
documents, and more than any other man in the colony called upon
to draw up important State papers, many of these now unfortunately
no longer extant; and his old age was continually honored by the gift
of the most important civil offices.^
Sidney S. Rider, whose knowledge of these early men, obtained
from a lifelong study of their works, is not exceeded by anyone living,
says that Gorton was " one of the most learned men then living in
New England" (Lands of Rhode Island. 201). In the languages, in
the law and in letters he was exceedingly proficient. His early asso-
ciations good; his wife as tenderly reared as any lady in the colony;
her family educated and refined; her brother a college president, an

excellent Latin poet. And their family relations with Gorton and with
one another appear to have been the best, they sending to him and to
their daugther the herds of fine-bred cattle — among the first in the
colony — for the pastures about his pioneer home. Mr. Rider in his
forthcoming "Constitutional History of Rhode Island" will show that
Gorton had no intellectual superior in New England ; and that in courage
he was not less than sublime. To Samuel Gorton, for his work in sus-
taining and preserving the charter and government, Wililam D. Ely
says: "Rhode Island owes him a great debt."
During the year 1667 he had declined to again accept a government
office, he then being seventy-five years of age. The year preceding his
death his eldest son, Capt. Samuel, was chosen a Representative, and
served in the House and in the Senate to defend the now constitutionally
established principles of soul liberty for sixteen successive years. Under
the order of the King's Commissioners, that the Governor and his
Assistants or Magistrates should rule in the Narragansett Province,
the latter was one of the Magistrates to govern there, and was one of
tl:e Court of Justice who sat in the Province. He was selected to
oversee the laying out and allotment of the lands of East Greenwich,
'* that it be fairly done," was one of those selected to answer the twenty-
seven questions sent from the Lords of his Majesty's Privy Council to
the colonies, and for many years served upon the committees who
drafted the colonies' letters to the King. Samuel Gorton has been
honored also in the persons of his other sons and numerous of his
descendants. His sons John and Capt. Benjamin were among the
founders of the town of East Greenwich, those to whom the colony
granted five thousand acres of land. Capt, Benjamin was a Repre-
sentative in both the House and Senate. Gorton's grandson. Othniel,
also was a Representative, and Othniel. Jr., was for seven full terms
a member of the General Assembly from Warwick, and in 1761, in
connection v/ith Stephen Hopkins and Job Bennett, Esquires, was
directed to prepare a reply to the questions which had been proposed
by the Lords Commissioners of the Plantations; was Speaker of the
House in 1787, and the same year was one of a committee to draft a
letter from the colony to the American Congress. In June, 1788, he
resigned his position in the Assembly and became Chief Justice of the
Superior Court, which position he retained until May, 1791.' " General
Nathaniel Greene, next to George Washington, the most eminent mili-
tary leader in the contest with Great Britain, traced his lineage directly
to John Greene and Samuel Gorton, noble founders of the liberties
which he fought to sustain ; as did also Colonel Christopher Greene of
Revolutionary fame. Albert Gorton Greene, a descendant of John
Greene, Samuel Gorton and Randall Holden, three of the original
settlers of Warwick, became a judge of the Municipal Court in the city
of Providence, and is well known to three generations as the author
of ' Old Grimes " and other popular ballads and poems. The late
Governor Henry Lippitt and the recent Chief Magistrate of Rhode
Island, the Hon. Charles Warren Lippitt, as well as the late Lieutenant
Governor, Samuel G. Arnold, the historian of the State, and the present
Lieutenant Governor, Lewis S. Chanler, of New York, and the present
Bishop, Henry C. Potter, of New York, are direct descendants of
Samuel Gorton.'" Among his descendants are several each of United
States Senators, Members of Congress, Major Generals. Governors of
States, Judges of Supreme Court, Senators and Assemblymen, Church

Bishops, and Aloderators, Renowned Missionaries, Distinguished
Authors, Etc., representing nearly every State and Territory in the
Union. Some scores of his descendants served with honor and distinction
in the early wars, the Revolution, the war of 1812 with Great Britian, the
Civil War, and in the United States Congress, and very many of his living
descendants are eminent in literature and the professions.
His published works are: "Simplicity's Defense," "Incorruptible
Key," " Saltmarsh," " The Common Plagues," and "Antidote Against
Pharisaical Teachings.." A Commentary on the Lord's Prayer was
left by him in manuscript, unpublished.
One does not find in his published works any detailed system of faith ;
he did not attempt to build up a sect or claim anything new in revela-
tion or Scripture interpretation. His religious opinions, if peculiar
then, are no more so now than exists in any congregation. " The
essential gospel truths as held by the great body of evangelical Chris-
tians of the present day are those that were held and preached by him."*
He made but small account of the forms of religious worship and laid
not much stress upon most of the dogmas of theology ; a right temper
of heart being in his view the one thing needful, and the union of the
believer with Christ in love the great saving doctrine of revelation."
A thorough study of his theological writings by one well qualified for
an understanding and proper comparison of their teachings with the
various systems has been made by Dr. Janes, President of the Brooklyn
Ethical Association, whose exposition of them and conclusions regard-
ing them he has published in his " Life of Samuel Gorton," to which
the reader is referred, from which by permission we briefly quote in the
following. : " By far the best and most complete exposition of Samuel
Gorton's religious convictions is to be found in a remarkable manuscript
in his ov/n handwriting which has never been published, but which
is preserved in the library of the Rhode Island Historical Society in
Providence. The manuscript to which I refer is a running commentary
on the Lord's Prayer. I have examined many papers of contemporary
and more recent dates, but with the exception of those left by his eldest
son, Capt. Samuel Gorton, who was evidently instructed by his father,
and whose handwriting resembles his so closely as to be distinguishable
from it with difficulty. I have never seen any so clear, systematic and
scholarly in appearance. When the reader has searched dilligently
beneath the quaint and involved phraseology, bristling with scriptural
references and illustrations, and come into sympathetic contact with the
living thought of the writer, the surprising thing which is discovered
is the remarkable modernness of many of Samuel Gorton's ideas. It
goes_ without saying that he was not 'orthodox,' according to the con-
ventional standard of his time, nor yet, perhaps, of our own; but we
everywhere touch the personality of a vigorous and independent thinker,
who in many directions foreshadov/ed the views of the advanced thinkers
of a later day. Some of his enemies denounced Samuel Gorton as an
atheist. He was as remote as possible from atheistic leanings. He was
not even affiliated with the deism of his own and the succeeding centur}^
His theology was profoundly Christian. The Scripture references to
the Father,_Son and Holy Spirit he interprets as recognitions of 'spirit-
ual distinctions in the nature of Christ.' They are not separate persons
of a godhead, but distinctions of the divine activity, having a unity ' not
found elsewhere, but only in Christ.'
" With Channing Samuel Gorton also taught the essential divinity of
human nature — the equal nearness of the divine spirit to the sinner and

PROVIDENCE AND RHODE ISLAND PLANTATIONS. 147
to the saint. He recognizes a divine spark in every human soul, and
to this he made his appeal." He also, however, accepted the eternal
antagonism of good and evil as an unquestionable fact, both in scrip-
tural teaching and in human experience. The tendency of the one is
to eternal life; of the other to eternal death. He, therefore, taught a
conditional immortality, wholly dependent upon the character of the
individual. ' Neither can any salvation hold proportion with the son
of God/ he says, ' but freedom from sin.' This saved him from the
errors of Antinomianism.' The doctrine of imputed sin and imputed
righteousness he denounces as unworthy of the divine character. * God
was in Christ reconciling men unto himself, not imputing their sins.'
Nor is this work of reconciliation limited to any historical period.
' God is eternally a creator, eternally a redeemer, eternally a conservator
of peace.' The substance of his teaching is that righteousness is life
eternal ; sin is eternal death. There is no arbitrary penalty inflicted at
the close of man's earthly career, or on some future day of judgment;
it is the intrinsic and natural result of evil action."
Mr. Gorton distinguished four distinct stages in the historical develop-
ment of religious ideas: the family, the national, the apostolic, and the
spiritual or universal. Considering the period in which he wrote, and
the fact that the Bible seems to have been almost his only text book,
his conclusions are remarkably consistent with those of modern students
of sociology and comparative religion.
The temptation is great to continue this line of exposition and quo-
■tation, but I must bring it to a close with one or two additional passages
further illustrative of the ethical quality of his thought. All virtue,
he taught, even the goodness of God, consists wholly in the service
of others. " The goodness of God's nature is such," he says, " that it
cannot subsist or be without communicating itself with another; other-
wise his goodness should be useless, which cannot be admitted for one
moment of time, for there is an impossibility thereof. The natural
temporary or typical goodness of any creature is useless unless it be
communicated with another; God never made any creature in heaven
or in earth simply for itself, but for the use of another; how infinitely
more is this true of God, who hath made himself in Christ to be the
goodness of the world."
With Theodore Parker, he taught that the entire creative energy was
expressed in the divine nature, to conceive which as purely masculine
was inadequate, anthropomorphic and irrational ; and in one of the most
striking passages in his Commentary on the Lord's Prayer he argues
for the equal recognition of woman in the church, as a teacher of
religion.
In philosophy Samuel Gorton was an original thinker, rather than
a student of past systems. In theology he Vv'as far in advance of the
prevailing thought of his time. Only a few of the minor sects of our
own day have yet approximated to his views as to the equal position
of woman in the pulpit and the church ; only an occasional strong and
independent mind has reached his conception of religion as a birthright
of the individual soul, to which belongs the inalienable privilege of
investigation and interpretation, free from priestly mediation and secta-
rian bias.'
Regarding the Holy Ordinances, such as Baptism and the Lord's
Supper, he scorns the Massachusetts Elders' charge that he denied them

inson, " His theology was original and peculiarly his own." Commentary

because he could not join with them in their way of administering,
and say : " We revere and practice them." Regarding the law, " Not
scruphng," he says, " any civil ordinance for the education, ordering
or governing of any civil State." Regarding magistracy, " Keep the
office,," he says, " according to sobriety within the compass of civil
things.""
"Authority," he says, " cannot safely be entrusted to Magistrates if
their place of office be not bounded within the compass of civil thinr;s."
He argues clearly and logically in the introduction to his " Incorruptible
Key " that if Magistrates are permitted to extend their authority to
things spiritual they are consistently bound to enforce their own con-
victions of religious duty, and to persecute all who dissent therefrom.
The only safety is in forbidding them " to intermeddle between God
and the consciences of men; in this way only is the preservation and
honor of all States in their several ways of rule and government."'"
One-fourth of the whole number of the original purchasers of War-
wick were members of the First Church organized by Roger Williams
at Providence; and Ezekiel Holman, also a member, and two others,
William Arnold and Stuckley Westcott, also members — just one-half
of the original members of Williams' church were early settlers of
Warwick.^ The last two were early dissenters from Williams' church
and continuous disturbers of the peace of the Providence settlers, as well
as of the quiet Warwickers. All the others of these joined Gorton in
support of the governm.ent and in unyieldingly resisting every effort
of violence, compromise or arbitration to bring them under any authority
that would deprive them of their civil rights or religious freedom.
" There is no evidence of their interfering in the affairs of their neigh-
bors, or cultivating any differences among themselves ; on the contrary,
no community on the continent were more sedulous in courting the
good will and confidence of the natives and none practiced more
forbearance and endurance under trials, such as are rarely paralleled."'
It was within the short time of six months from the final return of the
Warwickers, not more than a dozen of them, to their lands which were
divested by the war of all improvements, in which short time they could
not have erected more than three or four dwellings, that Gorton's
death occurred. There had not been, therefore, an opportunity for the
establishment of a church there before his death. For about five months
only from the completion of the first dwelling was a meeting-house
here provided him, wherein he conducted religious service, attended
by the few Episcopalians, Quakers or Baptists, not a sufficient number
of whom could agree to any one system for the organization of such
a church." Cotton Mather said of them that he could not learn they
" were agreed or any one principal so much as this, that they were to
give one another no disturbance in the exercise of religion."* They
were stigmatized by their opponents, as also they " that crieth out much
against them that putteth people to death for witches."" At this time
" all professed to believe in witchcraft, excepting only those few enlight-
ened philosophers who were branded as impious atheists."'
Gorton's advanced position upon the question of human slavery is
here worthy of attention. It superseded by about one hundred years

other like legislation upon the subject. His treatment of the Quakers
also may be alluded to as an illustration of his practical love of freedom.
Although differing with them and strenuously opposing what he con-
ceived to be their errors, he defended their rights and gladly gave them
shelter.
"After the venerable founder of Providence," says his biographer,
" no man was more instrumental in establishing the foundation of equal
civil rights and soul liberty in Rhode Island than Samuel Gorton." In
his letter to Clark for presentation to the Lord Protector, Cromwell,
he writes " to plead our cause in such sort as we may not be compelled
to exercise any civil power over men's consciences, so long as human
orders in point of civility are not corrupted and violated."
He was possessed of more literary education than any of the founders
save Williams. In law and politics he understood his rights better than
did the Elders and Magistrates of Massachusetts; and he at all times
showed the courage of his convictions, and he appeared to have asserted
no propositions which he could not legally maintain.' Samuel G. Arnold
regarded him as " one of the most remarkable men who ever lived."
His astuteness of mind and Biblical learning made him a formidable
opponent of the Puritan heirarchy. By his bold example, by his written
and spoken word he did much that should make his name ever freshly
remembered by the friends of civil and religious liberty throughout
the wide world.'
Dr. Janes says : " No portrait or adequate description of this for-
gotten Founder of our Liberties has been handed down to our time.
The writer of his brief biography tells us that ' his bearing was court-
eous, his feelings lively, his mind vigorous and well informed.' From
such hints as we may obtain from various sources we may picture him
as a man of tall stature, marked features and gentlemanly address;
blue-eyed — a typical Saxon; of an earnest and sympathetic nature;
persuasive of speech in conversation and exhortation, and freely empha-
sizing his thoughts with appropriate gestures; quick to resent injustic,
and bold in his denunciation of wrong-doers ; more eloquent and effective
in his spontaneous utterances and unstudied efforts than in the formal
and labored style of his written treatise."
Judge Brayton says he was " a man of independent spirit, having a
character for truth and honesty, for morality, for courtesy to all and
for Christian charity; a quick sense of justice, earnest in the defense
of the rights of others as well as of himself, whose boast it was that
he never laid his hands in violence upon any human being, not even
upon his children."
Bryant says he was sympathetic and affectionate, and with all he was
frank and above suspicion, his purity and sincerity unquestioned.
The Boston Transcript in a recent article refers to him as " the sturdy
Rhode Islander " and " a noble-minded patriot and thinker." No leader
of any of the reform movements has inspired his followers with a higher
degree of trust, confidence and affection.
Chief Justice Durfee, in a discoure before the Rhode Island Historical
Society, said : " Samuel Gorton, the chief man of the settlement of
Shawomet, was a person of the most distinctive originality of character.
He was a man of deep, strong feeling, keenly alive to every injury,
though inflicted on the humblest of God's creatures. He was a great
lover of soul liberty and hater of all shams. He was a learned man,
self-educated, studious, comtemplative, a profound thinker, who, in
his spiritual meditation amid ancient Warwick's primeval groves, wan-
the Freeholders. 'John M. Mackey. 'John M. Mackey.
150 LIFE AND TIMES OF SAMUEL GORTON.
dered off into infinite and eternal realities, forgetful of earth and all
earthly relations. He did indeed clothe his thoughts at times in clouds,
but then it was because they were too large for any other garment.
No one, who shall rivet his attention upon them, shall fail to catch
some glimpse of giant limb and joint and have some dim conception of
the colossal form that is enshrouded within the mystic envelopment.
Yet in common life no one was more plain, simple and unaffected than
Gorton. That he was courteous, affable and eloquent his very enemies
admit, and even grieviously complain of his seducing language. He
was a man of courage, and, when aroused, no hero of the Iliad ever
breathed language more impassioned or effective. Nothing is more
probable than that such a man, in the presence of the Massachusetts
Magistrates, felt his superiority and moved and spoke with somewhat
more freedom than they deemed suited to their dignity ._ Far more
sinned against than sinning, he bore adversity with heroic fortitude;
and if he did not conquer, he yet finally baffled every effort of his
enemies. The misfortunes and annoyances to which he was subjected
exceeded in severity and duration that of any other of the prominent
settlers of the colony, and through it all he bore himself in a manner
that commands our admiration."
The house that Gorton erected, and where he lived the nine months
before he was taken captive to Boston, is supposed to have been shortly
after destroyed. The house which he, upon his return from England
and return to Warwick in 1648, erected and in which he lived until the
King Philip's war in 1675, was, with every other there, destroyed. The
house built and occupied by him during the few summer months between
the time of his last return there and his death was about two miles
distant from the first-mentioned spot. It lay at the head of a small
rove which winds its M^ay through pleasant meadows, a little distance
inland from what was formerly called Cowesett, now Greenwich Bay.
The house faced the water and had a southwestern exposure, whereby
it was fanned in summer by refreshing breezes from the sea and was
visited in winter by the warm air, fabled to blow from the Indian
heaven. In other directions gently sloping hills sheltered it from the
inclemencies of a northern climate; a prattling brook, still skirted with
the remains of ancient elms, ran hard by, down the gradual declivity
into the cove; and on both sides were spread out ample fields, the
fertility of whose soil must have annually clothed them with variegated
beauty, and the golden rewards of labor. No fairer spot can be found
upon the Narrai-ansett shores; none within whose quiet, sunny solitude
the founder of Shawomet could better have spent the tranquil evening
of his eventful and much harrassed life. Also upon the rising ground
in the vicinity his aged eyes were often gladdened with the sight of
the pleasant shores and placid waters of the bay and its numerous
islands, of Mount Hope in the distance, of the heights of Providence
in the north, and of the line of ocean glittering in sunlight on the
southern horizon. Tradition says that part of the timbers and stone
of Gorton's house are still preserved in the dwelling which stands near
the site of the ancient household, and which is now inhabited by some
of his descendants. It also points to the family burying-ground, lying
a short distance in the rear of the house, as the place, " now without
overarching tree or mound," where the hoary patriarch was interred.
But the exact spot where his ashes repose is marked by no pious stone
or monumental marble. Yet if without other honors, may it at least
ever be their privilege to sleep beneath the green sward of a free
State.'
APPENDIX I.
The first published account of the treatment of Gorton while on the
island was by an English clergyman named Lechford, who passed some
time in Massachusetts, but not in Rhode Island, and who, in the company
of Hugh Peters, Thomas Weld, William Hibbins and John Win-
throp, Jr., all Massachusetts agents, on August 3d, 1641, "loosed from
Boston," in his book " Plain Dealings," issued from London, Eng.,
November i6th, 1641, in the words following: "There lately they
whipped one Master Gorton, a grave man, for denying their power and
abusing some of their Magistrates with uncivil terms. The Governor,
Master Coddington, saying in court, you that are for the King lay hold
on Gorton, and he again on the other side called forth, all you that
are for the King lay hold on Coddington. Whereupon Gorton was
banished from the island; so with his wife and children he went to
Providence." On the page with this he tells us that deer in New
England are " as big as some lions," that " barley there is inferior to
the product in England," and that " beans also there are very good."
" In many passages," writes Cotton, " Plain Dealings might be called
false and fraudulent;" and he probably does not mean the ones refer-
ring to the Massachusetts products. [3d Series Mass. Collection, iii,
5Sy 397'' Cotton's Ways of Cong. Churches Cleared, 71; Narragansett
Club Papers, ii, 219, note.] The second published account was by
Winslow in 1646-7 in that part of his book Winthrop's Book of News
in full, edited and improved. It is the anonymous account. The book
contains also a copy of William Arnold's letter, a copy of Benedict
Arnold's petition, a copy of the alleged letter of Roger Williams, and
a copy of the paper drawn up for Winslow's use in England, called
" The sum of the presentment of the grand jury " against Gorton,
by Coddington. A portion of what appears to have been Winthrop's
Book of News, including copies of portions of the Island Records which
were " over the secretary's hand," and Coddington's letter naming some
of the messengers who secured them, and calling attention to what
Peters had written in, was published by Charles Dean, so lately as
1850, with a companion article by himself, in which he unfairly ignores
the fact that Gorton was one of the leaders and Magistrate in the
Portsmouth government in 1639 and was still a Magistrate in 1644-1645
when Brown visited him. Dean also ignores the official records of
certain events that are proof contrary to the drift of his reasoning.
APPENDIX II.
The paper " The sum of the presentment of the grand jury " was a
fabulous writing of Coddington's, conceived by him in spite and for
Winthrop's and Winslow's use to aid them in their fight against Gorton
and the Williams charter in England. There is not any mention of a
trial, verdict, sentence or punishment of Gorton at any time in the
records or in the copies of them which Coddington " furnished over the
secretary's hand " to Winthrop and his agents. Up to the time of
Coddington's reassumption of rule at Portsmouth, himself, the Judge
and the Elders decided all complaints; he had no grand jury or petit
jury. [Mar. 10-12, 1639-40; July, 1640; R. I. Reeds., i, 98, 103.] Under
Hutchinson's government, the first to inaugurate regular courts, dispense
with Elders and provide a jury, the Governor and his Assistants decided
whether any complaints should be brought to the public courts. [Apr.
151
152 LIFE AND TIMES OF SAMUEL GORTON.
30, 1639; Rec. i, 71.] Upon Coddington's reassumption he and his
Elders ordered his courts to consist of Magistrates and jury, as organ-
ized by the Hutchinson government [Rec. i, 103], and further following
their example, dropped the titles of Judge and Elders for that of Gov-
ernor and Assistants invested with the office of Justice of the Peace,
according to the law " that the Hutchinson government had adopted "
[Rec. i, 100, loi]; but later Coddington and his court, heedless of the
law and their agreement, ordered their court (Mar. 16-17, 1641-2) "to
be held according to the ancient form and custom [Ante, p. — ], former
orders contrary herewith made void," and Coddington again attempted
with Elders to call any court either general or sessions. [Rec. i, 123.]
Under Coddington the Sergeant [Rec. i, 65] or Secretary [Rec. i,
95, 96] was required to receive complaints and commend them to the
Judge and Elders [Jan. 29, 1639-40; Rec. i, 103, 106, 124] ; and Codding-
ton disposed with even this shortly. [Rec. i, in, 123.] No such form
as a Presentment or Indictment was practiced or understood at this
time — the summer of 1640 — by Coddington and his court on Aquidneck
Island under the Pentateuchal system. There were Coroners and
Inquest Juries appointed to inquire into the manner of violent death ;
but no court practice or provision for a Grand Jury for Indictment or the
finding of a bill of particulars of complaints against the offenders to
be presented to the court with the offenders for trial. The regular
method of procedure was much like that before a Justice of the Peace
or our Police Courts to-day, and this was all that was required in that
sparsely settled village of less than seventy-five male inhabitants, where
the court was comfortably held in the small room of some settler's
little log dwelling. In Connecticut, while trial by jury was practiced
early [Conn. Rec. i, 84, 90], the Grand Jury for Indictment was not
adopted till September, 1643 [Conn. Rec. i, 91, 93], and there was no
Grand Jury for Indictment in Rhode Island until the adoption of the
code for the government under the 1643-4 charter. The minutes of
appointments of some kind are inserted with the erroneous editorial date
of 1643 in the Bartlett records. They don't belong there ; the men
named in the appointments were not residents or freemen at that time,
and not till many years after. The correct time and date of this was
not before the Code, and after this not until in 1648 was the first Grand
Jury for indictment called or required. [May and June, 1648; Rec. i,
209, 211.] With the Code was the process first provided that an accused
or suspected person should be the subject of an inquest by a Grand
Jury or a bill of counts of Indictment presented to the court for his
trial.
APPENDIX III.
From the time of Samuel Gorton's return from England to the colony,
1648, until the time when Newport, outstripping the other towns in
population and political influence, controlled the affairs of the colony,
the records of his public life [even without the records of his Presi-
dential term, 1651, which records were destroyed] show that there
was no man in the colony more popular or given more honor, and that
he was habitually placed on important legislative Committees, serving
on more of them than any other person, where a knowledge of law and
superior literary skill was required. The compiler of the printed
Colonies Records has indexed to Gorton but a fraction of the Committees
on which the records show he served, while others who the records show
served on less than he are indexed on many more; and, too, the favored
ones have their Committees named, while if they are indexed to Gorton
PROVIDENCE AND RHODE ISLAND PLANTATIONS. 153
at all they are indexed by only the meaningless numerals of the page.
Others on Committee with Gorton and to write to Cromwell and Clark
are indexed to indicate it, while Gorton is not; and, again, where Gorton
is on Committee to write to Clark, he is not indexed on it at all. Begin-
ning with Gorton's and Williams' appointment on Committee to write
letters to Cromwell and Clark [beginning here because the records of
Gorton's services preceding this are too nearly all destroyed to fairly
compare with his contemporaries' records] from this appointment.
Vol. i, p. 321, to the end of the volume, Gorton served on fourteen
Committees, while nine were the most upon which service was rendered
by the next most popular citizen. These are but a few of the many
omissions of the records' compilers. The living disloyal ones of the
State are, as of old, natural policticians, and succeed in obtaining places
on the Committees selected for public work. The General Assembly
recently printed, at the cost to the State, a pamphlet setting forth that
Benedict Arnold, not Roger Williams, was the author of " Soul Liberty."
[Report, p. 30, 1901 ; Reply, Book Notes, Vol. 20, No. 7.] Will some
such loyal State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantation man as
were Judge Brayton, Judge Staples and Judge Durfee, and are William
D. Ely and Sidney S. Rider, write a history of the State. No proper
truthful history of the State has ever been published. It is in justice
due from the Legislature to its people that it places in all the important
libraries of the United States a proper history of the State; for at
this late day few libraries contain any other books of this " history "
than those by the old antagonistic writers.

INTRODUCTION
The work of gathering data concerning Samuel Gorton and his
descendants was begun by the subscriber many years ago. When the
records of several thousand descendants had been obtained, a sufficient
number to encourage the long-cherished desire for its publication, the
Gorton Association, a company of many years' standing, whose mem-
bership included the oldest living descendants, unreservedly gave their
collection of several hundred names and records, with much information
which had been handed down from the earlier generations, into my
hands.
While my work was intended to embrace only the records of Samuel
Gorton, his sons and their descendants (as to include the records also
of his daughters and their descendants would extend it to a greater task
than I could in my time accomplish), such records of his daughters and
their descendants as have unsought for come to me have been included.
Further information regarding some of these may be obtained from the
published vital records of Rhode Island. Corrections and additions
that can be made to any of the within records are solicited for publica-
tion in an appendix volume.
My hearty thanks are extended to the multitude, too numerous to be
all named here, of friends who have cheerfuly rendered me valuable
assistance ; Captain George O. Gorton, of Providence, having given
much of his time for many years to the searching of the original records
of the Rhode Island towns to obtain required data. And the late
George H. Greene, Esq., of Lansing, Mich., who had compiled a
genealogy, but despairing of living to publish it, gave me his records
of the descendants from marriages of Gortons with Greenes. Since this
the work of the late General George Sears Greene, " The Greene
Family," has been published which includes these branches, with, in
many instances, more extended notes than I have given.
The within-named descendants of Samuel Gorton number many
thousands, with fairly complete records of most of them ; among them
many prominent people, Bishops and Christian missionaries of renown,
Generals in the Continental and United States Armies, United States
Senators and Members of Congress, State Governors and Judges of
the Supreme Court, distinguished authors, College Professors, and
other men and women of note. The pleasure experienced by me,
through the acquaintances made and otherwise, in the preparation of
this work has been very great, and will continue in my sharing that of
interested ones in its reading, in the strengthening of our already
happy bonds of union, and in the inspiration it shall give to many to
follow in the paths of honor and active good citizenship the lives of
those whose illustrious examples are given.

THE GORTONS OF ENGLAND.
No extensive research has been made for information regarding the
origin of the Gortons. The earHest mention of the name, we have
found, is that of WilHam Gorton as witness to a will in the County of
Warwick in 1 542. William Gorton is again witness to a will in the
same county in 1555. The will of John Holmes, September 15, 1568,
mentions as the issue of James Gorton, of the town of Haughton, his
son Thomas Gorton, of the town of Aspull, and grandson Thomas
Gorton, of the town of Addington, etc. From these and other records
it appears that Thomas Gorton, of Addington, had the children follow-
ing: Richard, who must have been born prior to the year 1540, for
he was proprietor of the Lion Inn in the County of Middlesex, and
reference is made to his wife Ann, who was the widow of Robert

THE GORTONS IN AMERICA.
The only Gortons who, as we can find, were among the early emigrants
to the American Colonies were John, who settled at Roxbury, Massa-
chusetts, and who had nine children: Mary, born about 1639; Mary,
b. June 21, 1641 ; Sarah, Hannah, Mary, Alice, Elizabeth, John, and
Abraham. All but Sarah, Mary, Alice and Abraham died young and
unmarried ; and only of Abraham can we find any records or descend-
ants. Abraham married. May 31, 1683, Mary Sumner, and had Mary,
b. March 24, 1684, and John, b. March 9, 1686; and of these we
cannot find any descendants. Stephen, who was of Massachusetts in
1638, but left there for one of the Southern Colonies, and Thomas and
Samuel, who landed in Massachusetts from the town of Gorton, Eng-
land, settled first in Plymouth and finally on the island Aquidneck, now
a part of the State of Rhode Island. The Gortons were not numerous,
and the few above-named as emigrants appear to be all of them who
early emigrated to the colonies. For the period of about two centuries
there were no other Gortons than the descendants of these few to be
found in America.
FIRST GENERATION.
SAMUEL GORTON, clothier, of London, was born in 1592* in Gorton
(now incorporated within the city of Manchester), "where the fathers
of his body had lived for many generations, not unknown to the
Heraldry of England."* He was reared in the Established Church. In
an address to King Charles the First he said that he sucked in the
so-called peculiar tenets attributed to him from the breasts of his
mother the Church of England. To the fundamental doctrines taught
by the church he ever firmly held, although he was a Nonconformist.
England was under the rule of the Conformist King James. Laud was
conspicuous in the universities ; and they had declared it to be unlawful
to be opposed to the king upon religion or any other subject.* Gorton
,was instructed by private tutors, and, being of studious habits, he
secured a classical education, became well read in English law and
more than ordinarily skilled in the languages. " One of those noble
spirits who esteemed liberty more than life, and counting no sacrifice
too great for the maintenance of principal, could not dwell at ease in
a land where the inalienable rights of humanity were not acknowledged."
He left his native country, he says, " to enjoy liberty of conscience in
respect to faith toward God and for no other end."*
He landed at Boston in March, 1636, with his wife Mary"* (daughter
of John Maplet, gent, of St. Martin's le Grand, London, and Mary
his wife), his son Samuel and one or two other children. At the time
of his arrival the Massachusetts government was proceeding against
Wheelright, the brother-in-law of Annie Hutchinson. He says he found

the people of the colony at great variance in points of religion, prose-
cuting it very hotly in their courts unto fi.nes and banishments. Their
laws prohibiting non-subscribing churchmen from living there, he took up
his residence in Plymouth, which was then a more liberal colony. In
June, 1637, he, while a resident of Plymouth, joined one of the military
companies which was raised in response to Massachusetts' call for aid
to defend themselves against the Pequot Indians.* In 1638 he led the
opposition to the illiberal changes, delegate representation, etc.. thrust
into the government by Prence, the then Governor of Plymouth, was
snared into Prence's court and, for his contempt for it, banished. In
1639, at Pocasset, Aquidneck Island, he was a freeman and a member
of the second or civil compact of government; the first government
upon the island of Aquidneck or Rhode which had as its official heads
a Governor — Governor Hutchinson — a Deputy Governor and Assist-
ants ; the first to grant universal suffrage ; the first that constituted
regular Quarterly Courts, and the first with a jury for the trial of
causes. They changed the name of the place to Portsmouth. In 1640
he, with many other members of the civil government, was driven from
the island by the former deposed ruler, Judge Coddington, who had
violently reassumed government. In 1640 he settled on land he pur-
chased of Robert Cole at Papaquinapaug, near Massapaug Pond adjoin-
ing Providence. This land with the buildings he had erected thereon
he abandoned on account of claims made by his opponents with fraudu-
lent underlying titles. In 1642 he purchased of the first owners, the
Narragansett Sachems, the lands of Shawomet and founded the town
he named Warwick. In 1643 he was made a prisoner by soldiers sent
by the Massachusetts Magistrates who coveted the land, tried for
heresy and confined at Charleston. He was in 1644, at Portsmouth,
immediately upon his release and return to the town, chosen a Magis-
trate by the people. In 1644 he secured from the Narragansett Indians
their deed in dominion of all their lands, their submission to the
English government, and their appointment of him as their Represen-
tative and " beloved Commissioner " to attach them to the colony, for
which Roger Williams had departed to obtain a charter. In 1644,
upon Williams' return with the charter, which included the Narragan-
sett lands (the greater part of the present State), a government was at
once organized with Williams as Governor and Gorton as one of the
Assistants: "The Government of the Providence Plantations." In
1645, after nearly two years of ineffectual operation of the government
owing to the obstructions of the Arnolds and Coddington and the war
waged against it by the adjoining colonies, Gorton was chosen Com-
missioner to lay the grievances of the government before the Englis'n
Parliament. As expressed in Williams" letter, " to preserve the lives
and liberties of the people." In August, 1645, he took ship from Man-
hattan. In 1646 he secured from the Parliament Commissioners a
mandate commanding the other colonies not to disturb the petitioners
and inhabitants living within the bounds of their charter. Upon this,
in 1647, a union of all the settlements with the chartered government
was effected. In 1648, May loth, he, upon his return, landed in Boston,
where he was so detained by the Massachusetts Magistrates in collu-
sion with the Arnold-Coddington faction, in violation of the Parlia-
ment order, that it was impossible for him, a promising candidate for

the chief office in the colony, to reach his government to be present at
their annual court and election; whereupon Coddington, the Arnold
candidate for the Presidency, whose treasonable acts and papers had
confronted Gorton while in England, and against whom Gorton's testi-
mony was desired by the court before the election, Coddington, against
whom various bills of indictment thus deferred were pending, was
fraudulently declared elected! the majority of the court being against
him, and they immediately suspending him from the government, and
deputing and installing Jeremiah Clark President of the colony. In
1649 Gorton was chosen a member of the Assembly. In 165 1, in the
midst of the continued movement of all the other colonies in their at-
tempted subversion of the colony to the governments of Plymouth and
Massachusetts, and during the time that Williams was absent, while
laying before the English Parliament the continued grievances of the
colony, the most trying period of their history, Gorton was chosen the
President of the colony ; and, with his Assistants, proved, in the words of
the historian of Warwick, the "crew of valiant men whose courage and
wisdom were equal to the emergency." In 1652 he draughted and as-
sisted to enact the first legal enactment abolishing slavery — involuntary
life servitude in the colonies' Hawes, in his history, says that Gorton
and Williams drew up this Act, but Williams was then in England, had
gone there the year before. This law, so early, could not be sustained.
Not until about one hundred years after this was the like statute again
enacted. He was one of the incorporators named in the 1663 new
charter.
From 1664 to 1667 he was Deputy, a Judge in the high court and
equivalent of present State Senator; was again chosen to this position
in 1670, and, on account of his age only, he being seventy-nine years
old, he declined the proffered continuation in office.
Although he is represented by some writers as a man given to anger,
he appears mild when compared with many others of that period. It
is observable that his friends and the people, nearly all of whom were
of dissimilar religious views who lived in Warwick, did not fall out
with him or complain of him. They had no difficulties among themselves
but that were lovingly arbitrated, and he " never raised his hand in
violence against any human being, not even against his own children."
In the debates with the Friends, in which he with Roger Williams and
others took part against them, he is the one almost alone that exhibited
no anger, flung no epithets, and is not accused by his opponents, as most
of the others are, of unkindness or incivility. Although doctrinally
opposed to them, he sent letters of loving sympathy to those that were
imprisoned, and he was about the only man of prominence of that time,
we can find, who kindly respected, even advocated, the rights of others
to opinions differing with his own. To the cause of human liberty
there is in American history no greater example of a lifetime of
unselfish, unflinching sacrificial devotion Nearly all of the accounts
we have of Samuel Gorton in our libraries are copies of the political
fables that were used in the attempt to destroy the government and
obtain the lands of the Providence Plantation people."
We quote from the words of the Hon. Job Durfee, one of the most
able of the Chief Justices of the Rhode Island Supreme Court. He
writes : " Samuel Gorton was a person of the most distinctive origi-
nality of character. He was a man of deep, strong feelings, keenly
alive to every injury, though inflicted on the humblest of God's creatures.
He was a great lover of soul liberty and hater of all shams. He was

a learned man, self-educated, studious, contemplative, a profound
thinker, who in his spiritual meditations amid ancient Warwick's prime-
val groves wandered off into infinite and eternal realities, forgetful
of earth and all earthly relations. He did indeed clothe his thoughts
at times in clouds, but then it was because they were too large for any
other garment. No one who shall rivet his attention upon them shall
fail to catch some glimpse of giant limb and joint, and have some dim
conception of the colossal form that is enshrouded within the mystic
envelopment. Yet in common life no one was more plain, simple and
unaffected than Gorton. That he was courteous, affable and_ elegant, his
very enemies admit, and even greviously complain of his seductive
language. He was a man of courage, and when aroused no hero of the
Iliad ever breathed language more impassioned or effective. Nothing
is more probable than that such a man, in the presence of the Massa-
chusetts Magistrates, felt his superiority and moved and spoke with
somewhat more freedom than thev deemed suited to their dignity.
Far more sinned against than sinning, he bore adversity with heroic
fortitude; and if he did not conquer, he yet finally baffled every effort
of his enemies."
On November 27, 1677, he deeded to his son Samuel the homestead
at Warwick, to his son John all lands west of Warwick, other lands to
Benjamin; and further deeded for love, etc.. to sons-in-laws and
daughters lands in Narragansett, viz. : To Daniel Cole and wife Maher,
John San ford and Mary,' William Mace and Sarah, John Warner and
Ann, John Crandall and Elizabeth, and Benjamin Barton and Susanna.
To son Samuel he commits " the care of my beloved wife during widow-
hood, if she live to be a widow, and she to be maintained with con-
venient housing and necessaries ; " provision is also made for her
" recreation in case she desires to visit her friends."
Samuel died in the year 1677 in December, probably the loth day
of the month, aged within a few days of eighty-six years. The time
of Mary's death is unknov/n. His body rests in the Gorton burial
ground at Warwick, and her body also probably rests there. No monu-
ment of marble or stone has ever marked their graves.

SECOND GENERATION.
2. SAMUEL= GORTON ( Samuel' ), eldest son, was born at Gorton,
Lancaster County, England, in 1630. He came with his father to New,
England in 1636, was with him through all his troublesome experiences,
and lived with him at Warwick on the homestead assigned to the first
settlers of town. His father deeded to him all interests in the property
and also his library and all papers and writings, by reason of the great
assistance he had been to him in the support of the family when, as
he said, his children were young and he was necessarily absent from
wife, family and home. He, like his father, early obtained the friend-
ship and good-will of the Indian tribes about them and became pro-
ficient in speaking and writing their language, and his earliest public
service appears to have been as Court Interpreter between the English
and Indians. He was Captain of the military company of the town. In
1678 a member of the court at Newport engaged in the trial of Indians
for depredations committed during the King Philip's War. During
the eight years 1676-1683 he was a member of the Upper House of the
Assembly, an Assistant Judge. Later he filled the office for two terms,
was elected for another term and declined to serve. He married, Decem-
ber nth, 1684, Susanna Burton, daughter of William and Hannah
(Wickes) Burton, born 1665. Samuel died September 6, 1724, and
Susanna married (2) Richard Harris. She died June 25, 1737.
In his will, made December 21, 1721, he calls himself in his ninety-
second year; bequeaths to his wife Susanna all housings and lands
for life, and at her decease to sons Samuel and Hezekiah and daughter
Susannah Stafford. The house he had erected on the farm that he
received from his father had been sold by him to Samuel Greene, who
married his niece Mary, daughter of his brother Benjamin.
Samuel was a man after his father's heart and of whom he often wrote
in terms of praise and affection. And although now in less trying times
than formerly, he discharged well the obligations of citizenship, well
attended to public and private duties, and lived and died, honored and re-
spected by all who loved what was right and good. There had not been
and there was not at this time any independent church in Warwick, nor
was there any there for many years to come. During the earlier times
the people there were not only too few, but were too frequently scattered
to organize any religious society; and not until after the year 1700 were
its settlers of sufficient number to gather from them a society of any
one church on belief. Although Samuel, Sr. has been so over charged
with trying to establish a church or religion, we do not find in his
recorded words or acts, that he attempted to propogate a new church or
religion. His tenets, he said he drew from his mother the church of Eng-
land, and he, it appears did not deem them inconsistent with member-
ship in any denomination that was Christian. It was " refreshment in the
ordinances of God," a personal piety that he recommended and pro-
claimed; and it was coercion of his freedom that he condemned. The
Rev. Cotton Mather, said he, could not find that the people of Warwick,
the followers of Gorton were agreed upon any other principal so much as
that they would not disturb one another in their worship or opinion.
The name Gortonoges was not given to them by their religious op-
ponets nor given to them to distinguish their religion. The name
v;as given to them by the Indians and on account of the Indian's
belief that they were a strong people, to distinguish them from other
Whites, whom they called Wattaconoges. But the name was quickly

taken up by their enemies and applied to them as denominating a
sect. If, however, we may with the other evidences accept for its
application the so high church authority as Cotton Mather, we are
grateful that they have so spread and that so extensively has pre-
vailed, what he describes as constituting their main doctrine. (Gorton

Children :
11. Samuel Gorton, Jr., born June i, 1690, married Freelove Mason.

13. Susannah Gorton, born June 4, 1694, married Joseph Stafford.
3. MARY^ GORTON (Samuer) was probably the second child, born
either in England or shortly after Samuel's arrival in New England.
She was married (i) about 1657 to Peter" Greene, son of John' and
Joanne (Tattersall) Greene, who was born at Salisbury, Middlesex
County, England, in 1621, and came with his parents to the colonies in
1635. He inherited his father's homestead in old Warwick, where he
died February, 1659. Mary had no children by this marriage. She
married (2) April 17, 1663, John Sanford, son of Lieutenant John and
Elizabeth (Webb) Sanford, of Portsmouth. He was born June 4,
1633; died 1687. She died 1688 in Tiverton, R. I.
John Sanford was in 1654 chosen President of the island of Rhode
Island government, during the time that the island was separated from
the chartered or main government, by the Coddington faction. After-
wards he was successively Treasurer, Commissioner, Recorder, Deputy,
and Attorney General of the chartered government. (Greene Family,

4. MAHER' GORTON (Samuel'), if born in Plymouth, was the infant
whom her mother, " in delicate health," had " at the breast sick with
the measles " in the great storm during the family's journey from
Plymouth to Aquidneck Island. She married Daniel Cole, son of
Robert and Mary. Robert Cole was the one from whom Samuel Gorton
made his first purchase of land in the colonies; land about Pawtuxet
on the outskirts of the town of Providence; land which, with the
buildings erected after the purchase, Gorton and his party abandoned
on account of claimants with fraudulent underlying titles ; he then
purchased, as he said, " of the first owners, the Indians." Daniel was
born in 1642 in the vicinity of Pawtuxet, and died November 29, 1692,
probably at Moschets Cove, now Glen Cove, Long Island, where they
settled and where many of their descendants still reside.

5. JOHN' GORTON ( Samuel'). We find no data from which to fix
the time or place of his birth. He was given by his father all his lands
west of Warwick, including land in Cranston. He married, January
25, 1665, Margaret Weeden. In 1668 he bought land with orchard and
buildings of William and Hannah Burton. In 1677 he and forty-seven
others received a grant from the colony of 5,000 acres of land in East
Greenwich in consideration of their " services in King Philip's War."
East Greenwich then included what is now West Greenwich, the latter
having been set from it in 1741. John was a mariner, and this occasion
of protracted absence from home may account for the but few refer-
ences to him that we find among the records of the town and colony.
The date of his death is inscribed on the Warwick records as occurring
February 3, 1714; no data regarding his wife Margaret is given.

Richard and Mary. He was among those who were in 1677 granted
5,000 acres, to be called East Greenwich, in consideration of their
"services in King Philip's War." He was in 1686 Deputy, or member
of the Upper House of the Rhode Island Legislature, Captain of the
military company and at the time of his death. He died December 25,
1699. Sarah died August 8, 1724. His will, made August 25, 1721,

son of John' and Priscella (Holman) Warner, who was born August
1, 1645; died April 22, 1712. His father John^ was the founder of the
Warner family in the colony, was an inhabitant of Providence in 1637,
and had one of the " Home lots " near where the " What Cheer " build-
ing now stands; was one of the purchasers of Shawomut (Warwick),
one of those captured and imprisoned by the Massachusetts Magistrates
who coveted the land, member of Warwick's first town concil, its
first Town Clerk, and Clerk of the General Assembly in 1648. His
mother, Priscilla, was daughter of Rev. Ezekil Holman, who was
associated with Roger Williams in the First Church of Providence.
John' in 1654 went to England with his father, but was sent for by his
grandfather, Ezekil Holman, to inherit his property. He was Deputy
to the Assembly 1672, '74, '79, '83, '85, '90, and in 1762 a contributor
toward building the Quaker meeting-house at Mashapaug.

where the city of New York now stands, and is said to have been the
first settler there, but left there to escape the persecution of the Dutch,
he being a Quaker, and settled in Portsmouth, R. I.; lived later in
Warwick and was a Magistrate there. He was in 1648 sent by the
Rhode Island Assembly to Massachusetts to secure the release of their
Commissioner, Samuel Gorton, who having just returned from England
was detained by the Massachusetts Magistrates, in violation of the
Parliament's letter, until after the Rhode Island election. The home-

with Samuel Gorton and others, captured and imprisoned by the Massa-
chusetts authorities, and was one of the Commissioners to whom the
Narragansett nation entrusted the deed of their dominions. After the
arrival of the charter and an organization of government under it with
Roger Williams as President, on account of obstructions to the opera-
tion of the government, interposed by the other colonists, he, with
Samuel Gorton and Randall Holden, went in August, 1645, to England
as Commissioners for the government to lay their grievance before
Parliament. (Letter from the Assembly to Massachusetts in Mass.

bounded westerly and northwesterly on the great pond called Twenty
Mile Pond, alias Massapeage." It was in the town, now county, of
New London, but was reckoned within the town of Norwich, which it
adjoined, and he was always listed as a resident of that town. Massapeg
Pond, also called Gardner's Lake, is situated in the present towns of
Norwich, Bozrah and Colchester. The landscape surrounding it is of
exceeding beauty. Massapeg Station is on the New London and
Williamantic R. R., about four miles from Norwich and eight miles
from New London centre, and about six miles from the lake, which is
now a favorite resort for people of affluence.
William Lancaster settled at Norwich at about the same time that
Benjamin Gorton settled there. The records show close intimacy
between the families. The graves of their son, Robert Lancaster, 1694-
1770, and his wife, Elizabeth, 1706-1782, and of their son, John, 1738—,
and his wife, Anna Bentley Tripp, 1755-1831, and of Mercy Lancaster

FOURTH GENERATION. i8i
second wife, Hannah (Harris), Cook. Ebenezer Cook and wife, Pa-
tience, June 25, 1729, conveyed land in Warwick to Samuel Gorton
(Book 7, p. 361); the same day he granted land by Samuel* Gorton
(Samuel* John- Samuel'), "bounding upon land that was given to
my uncle, John Gorton" (Book 4, p. 99). August 8, 1748 "Ebenezer
Cook, of East Greenwich," was granted land by Samuel Gorton, land
situated in Warwick (Book 7, p. 361).
John Cook bought, October 8, 1690, of William Parker, five acres at
" Potapaug quarter" (Indian name of Essex on west bank of Connecti-
cut river), and built a house and planted an orchard; June 19, 1696,
sold it to William Purchase (Saybrook, Conn., Reeds.). His first wife
is believed to have been Mary Sprague, of Rhode Island. He second
married, prior to 1691, Hannah Harris, born February 11, 1669, daugh-
ter of Captain Harris, of Middletown, Conn., and his wife, Mary Weld,
of Roxbury, daughter of Joseph Weld, who settled at Saybrook in
1690. John made his will August 15, 1698, and mentioned in it his
children as " John, Mary, Daniel, Sarah, and an unborn child ; " but
he lived until January 16, 1705. Hannah, his wife, died prior to Decem-
ber 28, 1734. His heirs at this time are recorded as Daniel Cook,
Ebenezer Cook and Sarah Burlingame. Daniel was father of Governor
Nicholas Cook of Rhode Island. The birth of Ebenezer's and Patience's
first child is registered both at Providence and East Greenwich; the
others at the latter place only.

of John' and Susanna (Daggert) Collins, granddaughter of John'' and
Abigail (Johnson) Collins, great-granddaughter of Henry* and Ann
Collins. John° Collins was a Friend preacher lived in Westerly, in the
sections set off in 1738 as Charlestown and in 1757 as Hopkinton. His
wife, Susanna, was from Marblehead, near Lynn, Mass. John' Collins'
wife, Abigail, was daughter of Richard Johnson, who came from Eng-
land in 1630. Henry' Collins came from England in 1635 in the ship
Abigail with his wife, Ann, and four daughters and three servants and
settled in Lynn, Mass.
William Gorton was probably born at Mashapaug or Westerly.
(Mashapaug was included in the incorporation, 1754, of the town of
Cranston.) He was living at Mashapaug when his first child was
born, the record in Benjamin's Family Bible reading " Benjamin Gorton,
born on the Mashapaug farm, July 25, 1737." Daniel Rogers, who lived
with William Gorton's children in New London, Conn., left a gene-
alogical manuscript, now in the possession of J. Lawrence Chew, of
New London, in which among the records of this family it reads:
" William Gorton came from Rhode Island, Massapeg." Plis children
were probably all born in Rhode Island, for the earliest record we find
of him in Connecticut is January 24, 1758, as lessee of a farm of
Matthew Stewart. This farm was by Stony Brook, about five miles
from New London village, nine miles from Black Point, in New

the boat in which he was returning home. His will, dated New London,
November 4, 1761, proved before Judge Gurd Salstontal, December
24, 1761, witnessed by his wife's brothers, John and Hezekiah Collins,
and the Town Clerk, John Owen, mentions all of his children but
Lydia, who probably was then deceased. (Will is recorded at New
London and Indexed, in error, under letter I.) His wife's death notice
appears in the Connecticut Gazette as follows : " Died — Mrs. Lydia
Gorton, November 20, 1809, aged 95."

owned lands around Usquepaug and on Teft's Plains, in South Kings-
town and the adjoining part of Westerly that was in 1738 set off as
Charlestown and in 1747 set off as Richmond. His house must have
been within South Kingstown, for he was numbered with the inhabit-
ants of that town, and had, with his help, fourteen Whites and two
Indians in his family (R. I. Census, 1774). The minutes of the
Quaker meetings, year 1782 and prior, contain the names of Hatmah,
Elizabeth, Ruth, and Sarah Gorton. He was present from South
Kingstown, with his sons, John, Joshua and William, at the marriage,
1785, of his daughter, Elizabeth (Minutes Friends' meetings). In
his will, July 8, 1787, he calls himself of Westerly, and here his will
is recorded. The farm on which he lived a part, if not all, of the
time he was in South Kingstown was afterwards occupied by Judge
Wagner' Weeden (Mercy* Mary' John* Othniel' John' Samuel* Gorton.

108. JOHN* WICKES (Sarah' Benjamin' Samuel'), born at Warwick
February 26, 1699. He married, but his wife's name does not appear to
us upon any records. He probably died soon after his marriage, but
the time is also veiled in equal obscurity. The Warwick records state

and Barbara, was born March 4, 1736. Barbara Holden married (i),
March 20, 1735, Richard Wickes, brother of John, and she married (2),

FOURTH GENERATION. 185
no. ROSE* WICKES (Sarah' Benjamin* Samuel'), born at Warwick
August 12, 1702, married, January 3, 1724, Ensign Randall* Holden,
son of Major Randall' (Randall') and Be thia* (Nathan* Richard')
(Waterman) Holden. He later was commissioned Colonel. Randall'
Holden, the founder of the family of this name, was one of the most
conspicuous men in the colony, the larger portion of his life being
spent in offices of various grades. He was born in Salisbury, England.
He was one of Dr. Clark's party, a signer, March 7, 1738, of a compact
for a new government, and with Roger Williams was, March 24, 1638,
witness to the deed of Acquidneck Island, upon which they established
a town and government which they named Pocasset. He was later a
member of the civil government organized there April 30, 1639, which
was first in the colony to have a Governor, quarterly courts, trial
juries, and impartial suffrage; they re-named the town Portsmouth.
He v^^as one of the original proprietors of Warwick. After the charter
for the Providence colony was received and a government organized,
on account of the obstructions to the government and the war waging
against it by the adjoining colonies, he with Samuel Gorton and John
Greene were commissioned by it to appeal to the En.^lish f?overnment
for protection. He in 1645 salied with his companions from Man-
hattan. He returned home, landing in Boston September 13, 1646,
bringing with him the Parliament's mandate, which effected the union,
May 18, 1647, of all the settlements with the chartered government —
the mandate to suffer the petitioners and inhabitants of Narragansett
Bay, and all others as might join them to live within the bounds men-
tioned in the charter, without disquieting them or interrupting them.
There were probably other children of Ensign Randall and Rose than
those here given.

September 16, 1733, Maplet* Remington, daughter of Thomas and
Maplet' (Gorton) Remington (Benjamin' Gorton Samuel'). William
Wickes was a mariner. After his death Maplet married (2), December
15, 1745, Captain Josiah Arnold. We do not find any record of children
of William and Maplet, although William lived eleven years after his
marriage. Josiah and Maplet had at least three children. See Nos.

114. RICHARD* WICKES (Sarah' Benj.' Samuel'), born at Warwick
October 23, 1712, married, March 20, 1735, Barbara* Holden, daughter
of Elder Charles' and Penelope (Bennett) Holden. granddaughter of
Lieutenant Charles^ and Catharine' (Greene) Holden (John' Greene
John') (Randair Holden). If the death date, July 4, 1735, in Warwick
records is not intended for Richard, he died about this time, for " Bar-
bara Wickes, widow of Richard, married, October 5, 1740, John Wells,"
and had Penelope, Mary, Barbara, Anstress Holden, and John Holden
Wells. Penelope married Oliver Greene and had seven children
(Greene Family, p. 164). The only child of Richard and Barbara was
bom, as it appears, after his death and the records written — as many
of them were written, long after the occurrence of the events recorded —
after Barbara had married John. (Warwick Records.)
Children :
396. Sarah Wickes, born March 4, 1736, married John Low.
117. BENJAMIN* GORTON (Benj.^^ Benj.' Samuel'), born about
1701 in Warwick, went with his parents to the farm adjoining xXorwich,
Conn., in 1717. He and his brothers were numbered among the earliest
settlers in Norwich and New London. He was. May 14, 1725, granted
land in New London in the north Parish, now Montville. In 1729 his
and his brother Stephen's rates in the First Ecclesiastical Society of
New London were abated. He and brother, Stephen, July 26, 1736,
conveyed land at Wanwecas Hill, Norwich, to Thomas Stoddard; wit-
nesses, William Hyde and John Roger (Vol. 7, p. 352). He died
before October 4, 1737, as at this time his brother, Stephen, declares,
in a deed, himself to be the eldest surviving son of Benjamin Gorton.
The greater part of the Probate and Vital Records of New London
were destroyed by Benedict Arnold, great-grandson of the Rhode Island
Governor of that name, in his raid upon the town during the war of
the Revolution, September, 1781. (Stevens' Dictionary of National
Biography.)
118. SARAH* GORTON (Benjamin' Benjamin' Samuel'), born about
1703, married, March 25, 1725, Edward* Rogers, born May 14, 1702,
son of James' Rogers, who died in Norwalk in 1735 (James' James').
Sarah evidently died soon after marriage, as Edward married (2),
July 22, 1728, Mary Bailey, of Westerly, R. I.
119. STEPHEN* GORTON (Benjamin' Benjamin' Samuel'), bom in
Rhode Island, March 21, 1704, married, August 31, 1726, Sarah (Rog-
ers) Haynes, widow of Jonathan Haynes, daughter of James^ and
Mary (Jordan), granddaughter of James' and Elizabeth (Rowland)
Rogers. Stephen Gorton was on March 28, 1726, at the early age of
twenty-two years, ordained a Baptist minister, and the same year he
organized in the parish now Waterford, New London, the first Baptist
Society in New London and probably the first in Connecticut. (Knight's
FOURTH GENERATION. 187
History of Baptists, Providence, R. I., 1827. " Stephen Gorton was
ordained at ye Baptist meeting-house by Isaac Foxes, Monday, Novem-
ber 28, 1726." Diary of Joshua Hempstead, p. 117.) A Baptist Asso-
ciation, the largest then ever held in America, was held at Rehobeth,
Mass., June 21, 1729. Among the Elders present was Stephen Gorton,
of the Baptist Society of New London (Knight's Hist. Baptists). The
same year his and his brother Benjamin's rates to the First Eccle-
siastical Society in New London were abated (Old Manuscript Reeds.,
New London Court House). He, on October 4, 1737, in a deed in
which he calls himself the eldest surviving son of Benjamin Gorton,
conveys to " brother Lancaster Gorton " his interest in land at Wan-
wecas Hill, Norwich (Book 8, p. 2). Isaac Fox having promised land
— Fox later gave the land on which to build a meeting-house at Great
Neck, now in Waterford — Elder Gorton in 1754 disposed of the interest
he had with his brothers in a lumber mill at the head of Niantic river,
and the same year he built, largely with his own material and means,
a Baptist church on it — the first church of that denomination that was
erected in any parish in New London. It was afterwards known as
the Fort Hill Pepper Box, or First Baptist Church of New London.
(Isaac Fox's will is witnessed by Joseph Gilbert, Deacon; Stephen
Gorton, Elder, Elizabeth Tober, members of Pepper Box Baptist Church.
History of Montville.)
Stephen most successfully conducted the pastOi„te of the infant
Baptist Society in New London during these early and trying times
for thirty-eight continuous years, eighteen years of the time before he
was able to erect a building of their own to worship in and for twenty
years thereafter in the new church building. In the year 1774, the
thirty-eighth year of his pastorate and the seventy-first year of his
age, a division arose among the members of the church and he was
driven from it. There was no substantiated charge made by the pre-
vailing ones against him, a man of seventy years of unblen^ished life,
nor did they show themselves to be of superior piety in assaulting him
and then taking the Bible from the pulpit and throwing it into the
street after him, and then tearing the church records to shreds. Five
years later, in 1779, he moved to Southington in Hartford County, and
soon after died, aged about 76 years. He was buried beside his wife,
Sarah, whose death had preceded his, at the Fort Hill. Great Neck,
also called Pepper Box, burying ground, adjoining the church. (Tim-
low's Hist. Southington, Family Records.) The Rev. Daniel Sprague,
formerly of Rhode Island, succeeded him as pastor of the church. The
Rev. Zadock Darrow was pastor there for over forty years. Stephen
had no children.

March 9, 1778, leased from the government of Rhode Island a farm
that was part of the sequestered estate of Samuel Sewal, at Judith Point,
South Kingstown. Dues to the State were, as at present, payable in
le^<al tender, which then was coin only ;. and a coin dollar now cost forty
dollars in current paper money. This made payments, in many in-
stances, impossible. The people petitioned that they might make pay-
ments in current notes, but this relief was not granted them. (R. I.
Records, vii, 379; Arnold's Hist. Rhode Island, ii, 453, 456, 458.) The
trade carried on by Mr. Gorton and the others at Judith Point, between
that point and Block Island, was declared to be inimical to the colony
and was forbidden. Shortly after this a company of British Foragers
raided the farms and carried off most of his stock. (Livermore's Hist.
Block Island, p. 99, etc.; Arnold's Hist. R. I., ii, 439, 440; Colony
Records, viii, 501.) March 25, 1779, he gave up the farm. He then
removed to " Nine Partners Purchase," Dutchess County, N. Y., and
bought over 2,000 acres of land where the present towns of Mechanics-
viile. Mabbetsville, Bangall, Amenia. and others are situated, and upon
which he lived most of the remaining years of his life. On account
of his dignified and gentlemanly bearing, he was called General. He
died about 1834 at Neversink, Sulivan County, and was buried there.

married (i), March 16, 1794, Polly Foster, born 1773 at Conway, Mass.,
died August 30, 1809, at Troy, N. Y., married (2), June 21, 1810, Nancy
Martin, who died 1822 at Troy. Benjamin Gorton, in a manuscript of
his, writes: " I was born May 28, 1758, at Norwich, Conn., the youngest
of six daughters and two sons. My father's name was Joseph, a descend-
ant of Samuel Gorton and brother of Stephen Gorton, of New London,
a Baptist minister. My father came from Greenwich, R. I., to what
was called Norwich Great Plains (upon a great pond about two miles
from Norwich, Conn.). He married Hannah Leffingwell, daughter of
Daniel Lefifingwell, the proprietor of a considerable part of the plains.
There he settled on a farm, upon which he passed the greater part of
his life. When I was about eighteen months old, the French War hav-
ing broken out. my father joined the British Army as Sergeant, and after
two years' service died of small-pox at Canaan, Conn., on his way home.
When about five years old, my mother married Daniel Rogers, of Col-
chester, and took my sister Welthea and myself with her. When about
twelve years old, visited my brother Joseph, who lived with my sister
on the old farm. When fourteen years of age, obtained a place as
apprentice to Daniel Caven, a saddler at Norwich. My brother had
gone to Norwich previously. In the summer of 1776, at eighteen years
of age, joined a regiment of militia as fife major, Colonel Rogers, of
Norwich, commander; marched to the Sawpits, State of New York.
The only adventure we had was when a party of British with two field
pieces came out to the Sawpits. We were drawn back from our bar-
racks about half a mile upon a rising ground. After firing a few times
with their field pieces, thought we were about to ambush them and fled
back with great precipitation. After about three months, returned to
Norwich.
" In 1777 joined Major Paintor's regiment of Artificers for three
years, at fourteen dollars per month. Remained through the winter at
Bethel, a little east of Danbury, Conn., which had just been burned by
the British. In the spring of 1778 were ordered on to Fishkill. There
the government broke up the regiment and turned us over to the Quar-
termaster's department, under Colonel Udny Hay, Deputy Quarter-
master-General at that place. We continued to work at our several
branches of business for the United States until August, 1779, when I
was discharged as an artificer by intercession of Colonel Nathaniel
Stephens, Issuing Commissary at that place, and retained by him as
clerk in his office. In December, 1779, John Buddock, Deputy Com-
missary of Military Stores, obtained by consent to receive .in appointt-
ment as Conductor or Commissary of Military Stores, and my pay was
increased from twenty-five to forty dollars per month (the pay rank
of a Lieutenant Colonel), and in addition provided with a horse and
servant. I now had important trusts to perform. In January of the
hard winter of 1780 I was charged with conducting a quantity of
ammunition from Fishkill to the North Redoubt, near West Point,
about ten miles. It was late before we got up to the fort. The teams
were unloaded and sent back, i)ut I, being detained, did not start back
until about sunset. Before I had gone half the distance it began to
snow, coming very fine and fast; it was like a fog and so very cold I

had difficulty to keep from freezing. Before arriving at Fishkill I had
to get off my horse several times on the leeward side and rub my eyes
open, as the snow falHng on my eyelids would freeze them shut. There
was no safety in stopping, as the few inhabitants on the road were
Tories. Having to go through a piece of woods three miles from Fish-
kill, where there was no underbrush nor fence to guide me, I let the
bridle lay on the horse's neck; if he could not take me home I must
freeze. His greater sagacity brought me safely to my own door. About
this time received information of the death of my mother. A few days
previous to her death she had been carried to my sister's at the old
homestead, receiving better care there than at her own home.
" The order was given to return all the military stores at Fishkill to
the headquarters of the main army near Morristown, N. J. This, con-
sidering the depth of snow, was a great undertaking. There were
others in the office older and more experienced than myself, yet they
were glad that the duty should alight upon me. I went by the way of
Peekskill and King's Ferry. The snow in the path had become packed,
but in turning for a sleigh the horse slumped down to his back; endeav-
oring to gain the path, broke his girth and threw off the saddle; so I
had to sit without a girth as well as I could. The road was lined with
Tories after leaving King's Ferry. Night coming on, I was obliged
to put up at a tavern where several had been taken and carried to New
York. The most of this day it had rained and frozen as it fell, making
my clothing, especially my hat, very heavy, so that when I came to the
tavern it was with difficulty that I got into the house. However, I was
not molested and delivered my returns, and set out for home another
route through New Windsor, Newburgh, etc. As is generally known,
the army in New Jersey suffered for provisions this hard winter, in so
much that many ate dogs to keep from starving; but they had at last
gotten a drove of cattle on to the army, which had gone this road.
Cattle, when travelling in snow, carefully step in each other's tracks
and make no path but holes. This made my journey very tedious, for
many miles I having to walk my horse. By this time not being able to
get any pay or clothing, and my own clothes becoming indecent and no
way to obtain others, I went to Norwich and disposed of what landed
interest I had, a part of my father's estate. I found great difficulty.
The land in good times was worth thirty dollars per acre, yet as times
were then could get no more than ten dolars an acre offered, which I
was obliged to take. And then the cost of clothing was great, for I
was obliged to pay ten dollars a yard for broadcloth, which in good
times could be bought for four. Thus having gotten all my inheritance
upon my back, hurried back to my duty to wear them out in the service
of my country as faithfully as was in my power.
"The 28th of May, 1780, there was a remarkable darkness at Fishkill,
also in Connecticut and Rhode Island. The night following, the moon
when it arose was as red as blood. In 1780 we received orders from
General Arnold to have all the military stores put on board sloop at
Fishkill Landing, in order to send them up the river out of the way of
the British if they should trap West Point. I was selected by the head
of the department to take charge of them, and stay on board the fleet
day and night; where we continued several months until Arnold's plot
was discovered. Had he succeeded, I should have been taken with all
the stores, without any orders to escape.
" In the winter of 1781 was sent from Fishkill to Hartford, Conn.,
a distance of eighty-six miles, with instructions which I was obliged
to deliver the next day by ten o'clock; which I accomplished, riding
my own horse sixteen hours and resting six ; but suffered in my health

again. In 1781 I frequently assisted in the Commissary Store in order
to obtain something to clothe myself with. I could not obtain anything
at the Ordnance Department. The store was a magazine to receive
from all the purchasing Commissaries and forward to the army at
Peekskill, as well as issue rations to all about Fishkill. The officers in
the vicinity all sent to us for their beef. When General Washington's
family sent his steward for beef their orders would include the poorer
as well as the better cuts ; which consideration for others was not often
shown by other officers. Receiving an order from General Lord Ster-
ling signed by his Aid, Major North, and brought by a servant for a
number of good pieces, I directed the salesman to cut what he sent
for and also a piece of neck, which he did and put it with the rest. The
servant asked, 'What are you going to do with that ?' I said. 'Send it to
the General's family.' He said. ' You need not send it, he will not receive
it.' I said, ' Take it along with the rest and I would see to the business.'
In about three hours thereafter Major North came down with his
servant and the piece of beef, and, throwing it down, said : ' What did
you send me that piece of beef for?" 'Sir, you wrote for several good
pieces, did you have them to your liking?' 'Yes. they were all very good,
but that, that he did not send for.' ' I knew that you did not, and am
glad it brought you here that I can explain it to you. When General
Washington sends to us for beef he always particularizes every piece;
has some of the best and also a shin or neck piece, in order to make it
more nearly equal. The idea is this: A general's family is entitled to
three, four, five and six rations; a soldier has but one. General Wash-
ington reasons that as the soldier has but one ration that it should not
be all bone. I have now given you my reasons for what I did, and the
example is before you.' Major North made no reply, but told the ser-
vant to take the piece of beef home.
" In 1782 was sent to the eastern shore of East river for some money
(about eight half joes), having to cross the route of the English Light
Horse. However, I saw none of them. After receiving the money, I
stopped for entertainment at Nichols' in Poquamok. I directed my
saddlebags to be hung up near the stairway, apparently very careless.
My money was rolled up in a piece of cloth tightly that it might make
no noise. Watching an opportunity I took the roll of gold from my
saddlebags and carried it to bed with me, fastening my door, for I did
not like their looks. Looking behind my horse after getting on my
way next morning, saw pimento scattered on the snow behind the
horse. On examining my saddlebags, found them cut underneath. I
had purchased a pound of pimento for some person, which had made
the discovery. Had they succeeded in getting the money would undoubt-
edly have killed me to secrete the robbery. Some time after was sent
to the same place for nine hundred guineas. Returning with the money
to Fishkill Landing, I had to cross to the Newburgh side. I found a
pilot that would lead my horse cross the ice. Taking the saddlebags
on my own shoulders, I followed after the horse about a rod. The ice
being very weak, I thought if the horse broke in I could return. We
made safe on the other shore, but after rising up the bank saw the ice

"The officers of the army had built a large building about two miles
west of New Windsor, to meet to do business in on all occasions ; in the
east end of which was a part taken off for a store, where the contractors,
Melancthon Smith & Co., put the goods which they sold to the army.
I was called upon to act as a clerk, and an arduous task it was. The
soldiers received the paymaster's order, which was exchanged for goods ;
the sentry letting in a certain number at a time. Taking an exact ac-

count one day, found I had paid a little more than fifteen hundred dollars
in g-oods that way. My situation was lonely and dangerous. Sleeping
alone in the building, had been awakened at night and put in defense
with club and fork at the window. On one accasion the marauders
were discovered and punished. The sentry also for not giving imme-
diate information. An anonymous letter was circulated about this time
advising the army not to disband until they were paid. The officers
generally had nearly determined to adhere to it ; in consequence of
which General Washington called a general meeting of the officers at
the great building for the purpose of pacifying them. I was in the
building when he came in. After a few moments he took one of those
letters in order to read it, when, lifting it up toward his eyes, laid it
down again, and, looking round upon the officers, said: 'My eyes have
grown dim in the service of my country.' Then, taking out spectacles,
went on to read the letter; after which he made some observation
respecting the danger of undoing by this rigid opposition to disbanding
all they had done in a six years' struggle for independence: and that
the government was then unable to pay them, and that he pledged his
word that he would do all in his power that they should have justice
done them as soon as the country should be able : after which they
returned to their regiments and disbanded peacefully, many of them
compelled to beg their bread on their way home, and having to live on
their friends when they got there.
"All that I had been able to obtain by means of the contractors' busi-
ness and other ways was sixty dollars to begin the world with. Think-
ing to go into the mercantile business in some place up the Hudson
river, went on board a schooner from Rhode Island, having on board
a number of the proprietors of the purchase of Hudson, then on their
way to see the place. Considering this fortunate, I determined to settle
there; hired a room in Peter Van Hazen's house and went to New
York for goods. Meeting Comfort Sands, of the firm of Sands, Living-
ston & Co., with whom I had done business while in the commissary
store, found my credit good with him. By autumn my sixty dollars
had grown to three or four hundred. Found custom was lost while
away to buy goods (the company had opened another store), so in the
spring, 1784, wrote to Thomas Frothingham, who lived near Boston,
and had been in the ordinance department with me, to join me in busi-
ness. We built a store on Main street and a small vessel, and increased
our business considerably. (" Major Thomas Frothingham was stationed
at West Point during the war. In 1784 entered into a part-ownership
with Benjamin Gorton and opened a store on the Hudson." Kulp's

"In December, 1786, sailed for China. Eli Hayden, a friend, had
fitted out a brig and wished me to go as companion and assistant.
After we were several days out, encountered a violent storm which
lasted six or seven days. This was a severe introduction to me. never
having been out of sight of land before. Arrived at Cape Town Feb-
ruary 23, 1787; was agreeably surprised to find a ship from Baltimore,
Captain Skinner, and a brig from Salem, Captain Lambert. Reached
Canton August 5. Mr. Shaw, the American Council, had come from
Maccao with us, found lodging for us. Arrived home June, 1788, hav-
ing been eighteen months from New York. In the spring of 1789,
having considerable bohea tea on hand, carried it with other articles
to northern Vermont. Hearing that a person by the name of Paintor
resided at Middlebury, went there and to my surprise found it was
Gamaliel Paintor, who had been my Captain in the regiment of Artifi-
cers. He was glad to assist me, and appropriated a corner of his house

to my use. Business in the Middlebury store increasing, I sent to Col-
chester, Conn., for a nephew, Jabez Rogers, to take charge of it, and
built a store near the bridge. By this time I found that the business of
all the northern country must ultimately center to the head of navi-
gation on the Hudson river; and accordingly in 1791 began business at
Troy. Bought a store on the southwest corner of Congress and River
streets and established two small vessels to run to New York. After
two or three years, dissolved partnership with Mr. Frothingham at
Hudson and moved to Troy; and in 1795 dissolved partnership with
my nephew at Middlebury, Vt., leaving the property principally with
him."
From letters and various records it is shown that an active interest
was taken by Mr. Gorton in the welfare of the town, and that he enjoyed
the love and confidence of the people wherever he lived. In 1791 he
with his nephew, Jabez Rogers, and John Willard were made Trustees
by Deed from the Honorable Gamaliel Paintor of a tract of land in
the town of Middlebury as a commons for the use of the people of the
town forever. Upon coming to Troy, he entered heartily into the social,
religious and civil happenings of the then village. Was village Trustee
and President, one of the first members of Apollo Lodge, Free Masons,
December 11, 1796; helped to form a Presbyterian society at Troy, was
trustee and treasurer, but not a member; in 1804 one of those starting
an Episcopal society. In 1802-4 Mr. Gorton published these books:
" The Millennium," " Plain Dealings with Calvinism," and " Primitive
Christianity Reviewed." His grave is at Ida Hill cemetery, Troy, N. Y.

Richard Bowen went away to sea when he was about 14 years old, and
by the time he was 19 he commanded a ship. He was in the China
trade and also sailed to European ports. At one time during the Napo-
leonic wars the crown jewels of Portugal were placed in his charge to
be taken to a place of safety, for the successful performance of which
he was invited to dinner by the King. He commanded a privateer dur-
ing the War of 1812, but one voyage satisfied him, as he termed it legal-
ized robbery. He left the sea soon after and went to Pittsburg about
1814, where he entered the commission business with his brother,
George, but was unsuccessful. Then he leased a rolling mill and was
the first man to make good iron and nails in Pittsburg, and was also
the first iron master to pay his employees wholly in cash instead of

giving them the greater portion of their wages in store orders. In this
he was very successful and became a prominent man. When General
Jackson was President of the United States and had occasion to pass
through Pittsburg, he sent a messenger to ask Richard Bowen to call.
Now, Richard did not admire General Jackson — being opposed to the
theory that, " To the victors belong the spoils " — so he replied that if
the General wished to see him he could be found at the mill, and the
General called. Afterwards Richard sold the mill, moved to Cincin-
nati, where he was in business until 1833, and at the death of his wife
returned to Pittsburg, where he remained until his death in May, 1859.

Thomas and Mehitable Jane (Livermore) Haven. Joseph C. Neal, Sr.,
was a clergyman and principal of a school in Philadelphia. Died when
his son was two years old. Joseph C, Jr., was an early writer for period-
icals. Edited Pennsylvanian and Neal's Saturday Gazette." Among his
writings, his " Charcoal Sketches of Scenes in a Metropolis," several
volumes, were republished in London under the auspices of Charles
Dickens, to whose earliest writings they compared favorably. A collec-
tion of these " Charcoal Sketches " appears in the middle of a volume of
" Pickwick Papers," edited by Charles Dickens, introduced by the editor
as from a " nameless person," but without giving credit to Mr. Neal
(See "Who's who?" 1903, Cyclop. Nat. Biog.) Emily was a graduate
of New Hampshire Institute, N. H. While yet a girl in her teens she
became so widely known as Alice, over which name her writings were
published, that she was baptized as Alice and married in this name.
Her home was in Philadelphia, Pa., and Mamaroneck, N. Y., at which
latter place she wrote many of her books. Her books for children are
among the very best that our literature can produce. Her " Home
Books," eight volumes, published by the Appletons, are admirable. One
of them, " Patient Waiting," is one of the sweetest books for children
we have ever read. It has, with others of the series, been reprinted in
England. The "Helen Newton" books, "Charlie's Hope," "Marga-
ret's Home," and " The Coopers," are exceedingly good ones. Her con-
tributions to various periodicals of Poems, Sketches and Stories are too
numerous to mention. (Emily) Alice died Aug. 22, 1863. (See Godey's
Lady's Book, January, 1864.)

758 THE GORTON FAMILY.
Note: When, many years ago, the compiler of this book of the descend-
ants of Samuel Gorton began the gathering of material for it, he did not
realize how great an amount of work it would require. Even the large
number of the descendants, about fourteen thousand,* herein recorded, are
probably less than one-eighth of those who have been born on the branches
from only his sons. On but a fraction of the branches have the names and
records of the offspring been sought for up to the present date; many of
which neglected branches would each supply material for a volume. Then
there are a number of thousand of names and records of Samuel Gortons'
descendants already published in the Greene, the Stone, the Potter, the
Lathrop, the Huntington, the Tillinghast, the Austin and the other genealogies
which have not been given in this volume. Upon all the branches from his
sons, there have been born to date, we believe, over a hundred thousand, and
from his daughters a hundred thousand more. In all two hundred thousand;
a number so large as to amaze those who have not given the subject of
genealogy any study. Another thing generally of surprise to such is the
smallness of the proportion of a man's descendants who bear his surname.
To illustrate : If a man's children were but two, one of each sex, each of whom
reared but two children, one of each sex, and this order of increase was con-
tinued for a dozen generations there would be in all several thousand de-
scendants born, of whom only twelve bore his surname. Peleg Gorton, a
son of the Doctor Samuel Gorton, distinguished in his day as a physician in
Providence and Warwick, had among his children eight sons, all of whom
married and were settled by their father upon land in the township of Painted
Post, New York State, which township he with five other men purchased;
the land upon which the city of Corning now stands. A grandson of Pelegs,
Doctor William E. Gorton, who was the first mayor of Corning and who is
yet living there, in a letter reviewing the early times there, relates, that
those bearing the name Gorton were so numerous there that a stranger in
the town enquired how long a man had to live there to become one. To-day
there are but a few among the hundreds of Gorton descendants about there,
who bear the name. In their early home, those bearing the name, are, from
other causes, few ; the larger number moving from there, their numerous de-
scendants forming a part of the stable population of New York and the
West; yet. from those who remained in Providence and Rhode Island have
sprung a multitude bearing many names, who have been or now are engaged
in the various enterprises for mans enduring advancement; those now living
there, a number, such, that they are represented in nearly every fair sized
assembly of the American born people of the State.
*There are 13,475 numbered and 455 unnumbered names of descendants in the book.
The unnumbered ones are placed with the children's records, because they were sent in
late or with little information regarding them. Now that in this volume the work of
gathering the records of Samuel Gorton's descendants has been begun, we hope some
younger person will take up the work of gathering them and publish them in other
volumes. In all genealogical books there are a few errors in the records, which are not
the compiler's, but of some of those who, with much kindness and intended care, sent
them. Seldom do the family names and records supplied by the different members of
the same family agree in all particulars. Supplements of the corrections and such addi-
tions to the within as shall be sent to me will be published.
