-     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events,  have  long  laid  unread  and  unpublished.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

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

12  LIFE  AND  TIMES  OF  SAMUEL  GORTON. 

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, 
"for  a  country  where  he  could  be  free  to  worship  God  according  to

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-

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. 

Cotton,   in  his  reply  to  Williams'  Bloody  Tenet,  says  that   Gorton

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."

i8  LIFE  AND  TIMES  OF  SAIvlUEL  GORTON. 

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? ' 


PROVIDENCE  AND  RHODE  ISLAND  PLANTATIONS.       21 

"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

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

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

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

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-

constituted  the  Model  Civil  Government,  or  to  the  measures  they  pursued ;  for 
Coddington's  government,  by  its  connivance,  secured  the  records,  and  the  names 
and  official  stations  of  Hutchinson,  Gorton  and  others,  and  many  things  unfavor- 
to  the  Coddingtons  were  eliminnted  from  them.  None  of  the  names  of  those 
who  were  signers  and  members  of  the  Civil  Compact,  and  only  the  names  of  the 
six  who  were  original  members  of  the  First  Compact  of  Coddington's,_  were 
allowed  to  remain  in  his  records;  leaving  us  with  but  the  little  information  of 
service  to  us,  which  escaped  the  vigilance  of  Coddington's  government,  and  the 
little  which  is  obtained  from  accidental  sources.     R.  I.  Rec,  i,  71,  75,  81.     Ellis

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

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.

has  been  artfully  so  quoted  of  Gorton  as  to  make  him  appear  to  ordinary  readers 
as  of  the  time  and  an  opponent  of  the  government  of  the  State.  The  reference 
is  to  the  island  of  Aquidneck  long  before  it  was  named  Rhode  Island.  It  is  to 
ie  regretted  that  when  the   State  arose  it  was  not  named   Narragansett. 


34  LIFE  AND  TIMES  OF  SAMUEL  GORTON. 

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,

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."  "

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

lived  in  no  order  but  rout  "  from  the  annoyance  of  the  Pawtuxans,  but  the  pur- 
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.*

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.

justice,  upon  this  ground  that  you  are  become  one  with  our  adversaries, 
and  that  both  '  in  what  they  have  and  what  they  are.'  Now  if  we  have 
our  opponents  to  prefer  his  action  against  us,  and  not  so  only,  but  to 
be  our  council,  our  jury,  and  our  judge,  [for  so  it  must  be,  if  you  are  one 
with  them  as  you  affirm],  we  know  beforehand  how  our  cause  will  be

contrary  to  your  received  principles.

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.

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.

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:

That  no  man  shall  directly  or  indirectly  take  in  any  cattle  to  common

That  for  the  town  proper  to  all  the  inhabitants  is  to  be  from  ye  front

inhabitants;  and  that  every  inhabitant  is  to  have  six  acres  to  his  house 
lot,  for  which  he  is  to  pay  ye  Treasurer  12s.,  and  this  four  mile  com- 
mon is  annexed  to  every  man's  lot. 

Several  other  "  orders  "  follow ;  one  specifying  the  manner  in  which  a 
person  could  be  received  into  the  company;  he  was  to  be  "  propounded  " 
and  afterwards  balloted  for,  and  if  accepted  pay  the  sum  of  ten  pounds 
sterling.  The  fourteenth  order  provided  that  "  no  man  in  the  town  is  to 
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."*

PROVIDENCE  AND  RHODE  ISLAND  PLANTATIONS.       45 


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-

tribe,  the  cession  of  their  dominion  to  Massachusetts  and  to  deny  the 
sale  of  Shawomet  to  Gorton.    Miantinomi  upon  the  urgent  solicitation  of

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

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.'"

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.

asserted,  is  not  probable.  ^Trumbull's  Hist.   Conn.    131.  *5th   Mass.

54  LIFE  AND  TIMES  OF  SAMUEL  GORTON. 

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.' 

The  Article  of  Submission  and  Cession  by  the  Narragansett  Nation 
contains  the  following:  We,  the  Chief  Sachems,  Princes  or  Governors

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

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

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

entered  into  between  the  Narragansetts  and  the  government  of  the  Providnce 
Plantations. 

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

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

"Williams  in  his  letter,  R.  I.  Rec,  i,  458,  writes:  "Myself  the  Chief-officer  in 
this  colony,"  see  his  letter  in  latter  portion  of  these  pages.  R.  I.  Collec.  iii,

office  of  President  or  Governor  of  the  colony."  Judge  Durfee,  His  Works,  177. 
^Coddington's  letter  to  Winthrop,  Nov.  11,  1646,  "The  Commissioners  have  joined 
them   in   the   same   charter."  "Capt.   John    Laveret    of    Mass.    writes,    in 

about  1651,  to  Thos.  Tempee  of  London,  Eng. :  "It  is  creditably  reported  that 
Rhode  Island  has  chosen  one  John  Clark  their  Deputy  Governor,  and  intend  \kj 
send  him  to  complain  to  his  Majesty."  Hutchinson  Papers  382,  383.  In  Nov., 
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

differed  m.aterially  from  the  former  one.  It  was  the  long  desired 
authority  and  judicial   order  for  the   people.^

62  LIFE  AND  TIMES  OF  SAMUEL  GORTON. 

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.'

The  letter  conveyed  by  the  messengers  to  the  Court  of  the  United

trality was  entered  into  between  the  Narragansetts  and  the  government

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- 
men.  The  General  Court  of  the  Massachusetts  Colonic  assembled 
at  Boston." 

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

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.

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-

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

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.

volume  entitled  "  Simplicity's  Defense  Against  Seven  Headed  Policy," 
from  London,  August  3d,  1646/ 

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. 

Randall  PTolden,  who  went  to  England  with  Gorton,  was  made  the

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,

74  LIFE  AND  TIMES  OF  SAMUEL  GORTON. 

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

ton's  Presentment.  It  bears  date  Mar.  8,  1646,  supposedly  just  before,  but  really 
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-

letter  in  writing  was  ever  found,  and  Winthrop  seems  to  have  preserved  all  of

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

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.

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

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

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.

ton's  letter  to  Winthrop  accounting  his  disgrace. 

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 
separately.      The    feeling   between    them    and    Coddington's    adherents.

*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 


PROVIDENCE  AND  RHODE  ISLAND  PLANTATIONS.       S3 

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.'

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

88  LIFE  AND  TIMES  OF  SAMUEL  GORTON. 

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.

PROVIDENCk  AND  RHODE  ISLAND  PLANTATIONS.        89 

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.

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,

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

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.

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

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 ; 
but  one  page  with  a  reference  to  the  latter  having  escaped  their  dili- 
gence;   the    eventful    times    immediately   preceding   and    following   the

PROVIDENCE  AND  RHODE  ISLAND  PLANTATIONS,      loi 

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

PROVIDENCE  AND  RHODE  ISLAND  PLANTATIONS.      103 

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 
Lord  Protector,  his  highness  and  government  aforesaid,  for  that  we 
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 
honorable  gentlemen  Commissioners  of  the  United  Colonies,  for  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 
became  freemen  of  the  government  at  home  in  which  they  had  been

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

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 
still  further  retarded  by  the  Assemblv  or  Governor  Brenton  at  the 
August  27th  Assembly  session,  appointing  Benedict  Arnold  and  William

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

Prov.  government  and  also  for  Conn.  Had  the  contention  of  Conn,  under  it

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

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  '

enter  the  Compact  of  United  Colonies  until  constitutional  reliRious  freedom

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 
seized  and  possessed  by  purchase  and  consent  of  the  natives  to^  their 
full  consent,  and  they  having  by  near  neighborhood  to   and   friendly

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.

disputes  of  the  colonies — Instructs  them  to  see  if  the  Narragansetts'  sub- 
mission and  cession  secured  by  Gorton  prove  true — They  confirm  the  Narragan-

removal  of  Massachusetts  subjects  from  it — Massachusetts  court  refuses  to 
heed  the  orders  of  the  King's  Commissioners — The  King  commands  the  Gov- 
ernor and  Council  of  Massachusetts  to  send  representatives  to  answer  in 
England. 

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

120  LIFE  AND  TIMES  OF  SAMUEL  GORTON. 

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 
further.*

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

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.'

124  LIFE  AND  TIMES  OF  SAMUEL  GORTON. 

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

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

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- 


PROVIDENCE  AND  RHODE  ISLAND  PLANTATIONS.      133 

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

134  LIFE  AND  TIMES  OF  SAMUEL  GORTON. 

(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."^

136  LIFE  AND  TIMES  OF  SAMUEL  GORTON. 


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

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

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

142  LIFE  AND  TIMES  OF  SAMUEL  GORTON. 

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 

Payson  Fuller,  Hist.  Wk.,  303.  'Incorruptible  Key,  ?3.  •Com-

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

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-

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.

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.

THE  ONLY  HOUSE  STANDING  IN  WARWICK  IN  1677 

The  stone  house  and  fortress,  built  in  1649,  by  President  John  Smith.  It,  after  his  death  in  1664, 
passed  from  his  widow's  family,  the  Sweets,  to  Thomas  Greene,  who  occupied  it,  and  whose  descend- 
ants lived  in  it  for  many  generations,  and  who  were  from  this  styled  the  Stone  Castle  Greenes.  This 
house  and  the  house  of  Samuel  Gorton  which  was  built  by  him  during  the  summer  of  1677,  were  probably 
the  only  completed  houses  that  were  in  Warwick  at  the  time  of  Samuel  Gorton's  death,  in  Decem- 
ber, 1677.

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 
Robertson,  gentleman  of  London,  May,  1563;  he  was  of  Warwick  and 
Winwick  in  1581 ;  v»^ill  proved  at  Chester  in  1587;  James,  of  Haughton 
and  West  Haughton;  Alice;  Robert,  who  at  his  death  left  a  widov*?, 
probably  Elizabeth,  and  a  daughter;  Thomas,  a  farmer  at  Addington 
in  1 581;  Francis,  who  married,  May  4,  1574,  Elizabeth  Burdsell ; 
Nicholas,  a  farmer  in  1 581,  died  young,  for  his  widow  Ann  was  buried 
June  24,  1608;  Adam,  who  was  Council  at  Droysdale  in  1607,  will 
recorded  1629;  William,  of  Gorton  Parish,  Lancaster  County;  will 
proved  at  Chester  in  1588.  James  and  Alice  are  recorded  as  children  to 
James;  Agnes  as  child  of  Robert;  Nicholas,  b.  1575,  Parish  of  Gorton; 
Thomas,  b.  1582;  John,  who  married,  May  i,  1608,  Katharine  Leigh; 
Katharine,  b.  1584;  William,  b.  1587;  and  Samuel,  b.  1592,  February 
I2th,  who  married  Mary  Maplet,  as  the  children  of  Thomas;  Frances, 
Isabel  and  Mary  as  the  children  of  Francis;  Elizabeth  as  the  child  of 
Nicholas;  Otwell,  Richard,  Thomas,  Adam  and  Samuel  as  the  children 
of  Adam,  of  Droysdale.  Records  of  succeeding  English-born  generations 
are  to  be  found  in  Dr.  Howard's  Miscellanea  (Dr.  Howard's  Miscella- 
nea Genealogica  et  Heraldica,   New  Series,  Vol.   ii,  pp.  44,  345,  346.)

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

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

i62  THE    GORTON    FAMILY. 

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

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.

of  John,"  was  in  May,  1722,  readmitted  a  freeman  of  the  colony.

"Samuel  Gorton  2d,  of  John  and  Elizabeth,  died  Sept.  9,  1724." 
(Warwick  Records.)  A  likely  error,  and  he  may  have  been  designated 
as  the  second  to  distinguish  him  from  another  older,  among  those 
living,  bearing  same  name.

the  General  Assembly.  He  later  settled  upon  a  tract  he  purchased 
September  20,  1717,  for  £500  of  Peter  and  Mary  Mason — "  500  acres, 
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 
are  in  the  Christ's  Church  burying-ground  at  Chelsea.  The  children 
of  Robert  and  Elizabeth,  so  far  as  known,  were  James,  1734,  Elizabeth, 
1736-1813,  John,  1738,  Mercy,  1742-1807,  Mary,  1744,  Ann,  1745,  Wil- 
liam, 1749.     (Miss  Caulkin's  MSS.  Historical  Society,  New  London.) 

Benjamin  Gorton  died  in  1737.     Administration  upon  his  estate  was 
granted  to  his  widow,  Ann,  August  9,  1737,  and  later  at  her  desire  to 
son,  Lancaster.    Ann  died  during  the  following  year.

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

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

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

keepsie,  N.  Y.,  and  vv^as  drowned  on  the  Hudson  by  the  capsizing  of 
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."

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

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 
that  John  Wickes  died  July  4,  1735,  and  that  Sarah,  daughter  of  John 
and  Barbara,  was  born  March  4,  1736.  Barbara  Holden  married  (i),

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. 
Children  : 

384.  Randall   Holden,  born   November  25,   1726,  married   Naomi   Potter.

1731,  Judge  Philip*  Greene,  born  March  15,  1705,  died  April  10,  1791, 
son  of  Major  Job'  and  Phebe  (Sales)  Greene  (John*  Greene  John'). 
Phebe  Sales  was  the  daughter  of  John  and  Mary  (Williams)  Sales  and 
granddaughter  of  Roger  Williams.  Philip  Greene  was  a  leading  man 
in  public  affairs.  Assistant  and  Deputy  in  the  General  Assembly,  and 
for  a  period  of  twenty-five  years  was  Judge  of  the  Court  of  Common 
Pleas.     (Greene  Family.)

113.  WILLIAM*  WICKES  (Sarah'  Benj.'  Samuel'),  bom  at  War- 
wick, August  26,  1710,  died  at  Warwick  November  21,  1744,  married, 
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. 
36,  143- 

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. 

121.  LANCASTER*  GORTON    (Benj.»  Benj.'  Samuel'),  born  about 

1708  in  Rhode  Island,  married,  about   1734,   Priscilla  .     He   died 

November  8,  1756.  On  July  26,  1736,  Lancaster  and  Benjamin  convey 
land  at  Wanwecas  Hill,  Norwich,  to  Thomas  Stoddard  (Book  7,  p.  352). 
Lancaster  and  his  brother,  Joseph,  deed  land  to  Adonijah  Fitch,  at 
Wanwecas  Hill,  November  7,  1737  (Book  8,  p.  234).  Lancaster  bought 
and  sold  land  in  Norwich,  1738,  1739,  1740  (Book  8,  pp.  112,  213,  234). 
He,  on  April  13,  1739,  sold  land  in  New  London,  adjoining  land  of 
Matthew  Stewart,  to  William  Manwaring.  brother  of  Oliver  Manwar- 
ing.  He  was  on  February  5,  1740,  granted  by  Philip  Turner  land 
adjoining  burial  place  in  Norwich.  (Book  8,  p.  344.  "Mrs.  Lancaster 
Gorton  "  was  in  full  communion  with  the  First  Church  of  New  London, 
July  29,  1744.  On  December  31,  1740,  Lancaster  received  by  deed  from 
his  sister,  Mercy,  land  that  she  "received  from  honored  father,  Benja-

1756,  and  then  in  the  Army;  came  home  from  camp  at  Greenbush, 
Albany,  and  died  two  days  afterwards  (Hempstead  Diary).  It  was  in 
derision  of  the  motely  appearance  of  the  Connecticut  troops,  later 
encamped  here,  that  the  English  Army  Doctor,  Shackburg,  composed 
the  first  four  verses  of  the  now  world-wide  favorite  song  and  called  it 
"Yankee  Doodle."  (Sylvester's  Hist.  Rens.  Co.,  N.  Y.)

of  Lieutenant  Daniel  and  Sarah  (Bill)  Leffingwell,  of  Norwich,  Conn. 
On  December  31,  1740,  he  and  brother  Lancaster  are  granted  "land 
which  she  received  of  her  honored  father,  Benjamin  Gorton,  at  Wan- 
wecas  Hill,"  by  sister  Mercy.  He,  on  April  28,  1750,  as  "Joseph 
Gorton,  of  Norwich,"  was  granted  land  in  the  North  Parish  of  New 
London.  (In  old  style  the  year  commenced  on  the  25th  of  March.  The 
new  style,  the  year  beginning  January  i,  was  adopted  1751.)  He, 
"Joseph  Gorton,  of  Norwich,  aged  44,"  enlisted  April  6,  1759,  in  Cap- 
tain Moore's  Company,  in  the  French  War,  and  served  as  Sergeant; 
after  two  years'  service,  died  1761  at  Canaan,  Conn.,  while  on  his  way 
home.  His  brother,  Rev.  Stephen  Gorton,  brought  home  his  remains. 
His  widow,  Hannah,  in  1763  married  Daniel  Rogers,  of  Colchester.

Lois  Hall.  He  was  thirteen  years  old  when  his  father  died,  and  was 
by  the  will  placed  in  the  care  of  his  eldest  brother,  Benjamin.  He,  on 
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.

house  erected  by  Samuel  Gorton,  Jr.,  on  lot  in  Coweset  purchase,  of 
which  he  had  become  the  owner.  It  was  enlarged  in  view  of  his 
approaching  marriage,  and  was  destined  to  gather  about  it  associations

405.  BENJAMIN'  GORTON  (Joseph*  Benjamin'  Benjamin'  SamT), 
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 


FIFTH  GENERATION.  225 

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 


226  THE   GORTON    FAMILY. 

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 
all  broken  up  in  cakes  and  floating  different  ways. 

"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 ;

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 
Wyoming  Valley  Families.) 

"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. 
His  known  descendants  number  156,  of  whom  95  are  at  present  living.

in  1741  set  ofif  from  the  western  portion  of  Warwick,  R.  I.)  to  Otsego, 
central  New  York  State,  to  where  some  of  their  children  had  preceded

Livingston  County,  western  New  York.  They  lived  in  Henrietta,

ment established  in  independence  of  Great  Britain.  (R.  I.  Records, 
ix,  408.)  Find  no  further  official  record  of  him,  but  in  a  letter  of  the 
Colony  to  the  American  Congress  it  is  stated  that  Rhode  Island — con- 
sisting of  islands  and  scarcely  any  territory  but  sea  coast — is  unusually 
exposed  to  the  incisions  of  the  enemy,  and,  having  sent  many  of  her 
soldiers  to  Boston  and  to  the  defense  of  the  Canadian  border,  it  desired 
aid  in  repelling  the  landing  and  continuous  depredations  upon  them  by 
the  enemy  (R.  I.  Records,  ),  and  every  man  in  the  Colony  was 

armed  and  equipped  in  its  defense  (R.  I.  Records,  vii,  358).

ber 25,  1818,  Eliza  Seymour,  daughter  of  Horace  and  Hope  (Jones) 
Seymour.  This  Horace  was  a  Colonel  in  the  Revolutionary  V/ar. 
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.

594  THE    GORTON    FAMILY. 

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.
