INTRODUCTION. 


With  this  volume  we  beg  to  present  the  Thirteenth  volume  of 
the  Vital  Record  of  Rhode  Island  and  we  believe  that  this 
will  prove  as  interesting  as  any  one  of  the  previous  volumes  of  the 
series.  We  have  finished  the  Deaths  from  the  Providence  Jour- 
nal and  have  commenced  those  from  the  Providence  Gazette. 
These  bear  date  from  1762  to  1830  and  will  supply  a  long  felt  want 
to  the  genealogical  student.  The  public  records  have  little  or 
nothing  in  the  way  of  deaths,  and  many  burials  have  no  stones 
with  the  record  upon  them,  especially  at  the  period  covered  in  the 
earlier  portion. 

Some  of  our  friendly  critics  think  we  have  too  many  notes  at- 
tached to  our  announcement  of  the  death.  We  are  always  ready 
to  receive  advice  but  we  still  believe  our  notes  will  be  received  with 
pleasure  by  most  of  our  readers,  and  particularly  those  notes  that 
most  decidedly  place  the  person  named  and  the  locality  of  the 
death. 

With  the  respective  newspapers  we  have  placed  an  extended 
note  regarding  the  publication  of  the  same. 

We  still  have  occasion  to  feel  thankful  to  the  General  Assem- 
bly that  they  have  in  their  wisdom  been  pleased  to  extend  their 
courtesy  towards  this  volume  as  they  have  so  cheerfully  done  in  the 
case  of  those  volumes  before  published.  We  have  also  occasion  to 
thank  those  officers  having  in  charge  the  file  of  newspapers  from 
which  these  notes  were  taken.  Finally  we  thank  our  friends,  who 
have  stood  by  us  in  our  work,  for  their  kind  assistance  and  en- 
couragement of  our  labor. 

Please  bear  in  mind  in  reading  our  dates  that  in  the  original 
published  list  many  have  no  date  of  death  assigned  while  many 
others  have  the  date  distinctly  given.  In  the  former  case  the  word 
Journal  or  Gazette  before  the  date  means  that  in  the  paper  of 
this  date  the  death  was  announced,  the  exact  date  not  being  given. 
Again  the  reader  will  be  much  surprised  to  note  how  long  a  time 
elapses  in  many  cases  between  the  date  of  the  death  and  its  an- 
nouncement. The  people  in  those  days  were  not  so  prompt  in 
such  matters  as  they  are  today. 

We  close  by  trusting  that  the  reader  will  find  a  pleasure  in  the 
perusal  of  this  volume,  as  well  as  feel  that  he  has  been  well  com- 
pensated for  his  time  spent  in  our  company.

PROVIDENCE  JOURNAL. 


Deaths    Published    from    January  3,    1820,  to 
December   31,  1829. 


The  present  series  of  newspapers  known  as  the  "  Providence 
Journal"  began  with  an  issue  on  January  3,  1820,  and  has  been 
pubhshed  semi-weekly  on  Monday  and  Thursday  until  the  present 
time.  On  July  21,  1829,  the  Daily  Journal  was  established.  The 
numbers  of  the  Daily  Journal  from  July  21  to  December  31  are  not 
on  file  in  the  Journal  office,  but  the  file  there  commences  with  Jan- 
uary I,  1830.  The  file  of  the  semi-weekly,  January  3,  1820,  to 
December  31,  1S29,  in  the  Journal  office  is  not  complete,  nor  is  that 
in  the  library  of  the  Historical  Society.  With  the  aid  of  the  two, 
however,  a  complete  record  has  been  obtained. 

The  deaths  from  A  to  R  were  published  in  our  preceding  vol- 
ume XII  of  the  Vital  Records.  The  present  installment  therefore 
commences  with  the  letter  S.

The

DEATHS. 


THE  PROVIDENCE  GAZETTE. 


The  Providence  Gazette  was  the  first  newspaper  printed  in 
Providence.  The  first  number  was  issued  October  20,  1762,  the 
last  October  8,  1825. 

Its  full  title  when  first  published  was  The  Providence  Ga- 
zette AND  Country  Journal  containing  the  freshest  advices 
both  Foreign  and  Domestic.  January  5,  1782,  this  last  caption  was 
dropped.  January  10,  1795,  and  Country  Journal  followed,  but 
was  restored  Jan.  12,  181 1.  March  i,  18 17,  it  was  dropped  again 
and  there  was  substituted  ajid  Moral,  Political  and  Commercial 
Advertiser.  When  it  became  a  semi-weekly  in  January,  1820,  it 
was  known  as  The  Providence  Gazette  only  until  it  was  merged 
with  the  American  Oct.  11,  1825,  and  then  known  as  The  Rhode 
Island  American  and  Providence  Gazette.  This  paper  lasted 
until  1832. 

It  was  a  weekly  until  1820,  and  thereafter  until  October  8 
1825,  a  semi-weekly.  While  a  weekly  its  publication  day  was  Sat- 
urday, except  from  October  4,  1780,  to  January  24,  1781,  when  it 
was  Wednesday.  From  Saturday,  May  11,  1765,  until  August  9, 
1766,  its  publication  was  suspended.  While  a  semi-weekly  the  pub- 
lication days,  in -1820,  were  Monday  and  Thursday;  from  1821  to 
October  8,  1825,  Wednesday  and  Saturday. 

Of  these  numbers  we  have  been  so  fortunate  as  to  have  seen 
all  but  Nos.  139,  149,  and  502. 

At  the  October  meeting  of  the  Rhode  Island  Historical  Society 
in  1897  Hon.  Amos  Perry  read  a  paper  on  this  subject,  which  was 
printed  in  the  Quarterly. 

In  this  paper  he  says  that  the  first  editor  and  proprietor  was 
William  Goddard ;  that  from  August  9,  1766,  Sarah  Goddard  &  Co. 
were  the  publishers;  from  Sept.  19,  1767,  Sarah  Goddard  and  John 
Carter.  After  November  12,  1768,  John  Carter  was  sole  proprie- 
tor until  November  9,  1797,  when  William  Wilkinson  was  a  partner 

LofC. 


200  VITAL    EECORD    OF    RHODE    ISLAND 

with  Carter  and  so  continued  until  May  ii,  1799,  when  Carter  was 
again  sole  proprietor.  February  19,  1814,  Hugh  H.  Brown  and 
William  H.  Wilson  were  proprietors.  After  June  22,  1816,  Brown 
was  sole  proprietor,  until  January  3,  1820,  when  he  took  Walter  R. 
Danforth  as  a  partner.  When  the  paper  was  merged  with  the 
American  in  October,  1825,  Brown  was  again  sole  proprietor  and 
A.  G.  Greene,  editor. 

When  Mr.  Brown  made  this  change  in  his  business  he  sold 
only  the  newspaper  portion  and  still  continued  in  the  business  as  a 
job  printer. 

When  the  paper  was  first  printed  it  was  advertised  as  "Printed 
opposite  the  Court  House."  While  it  lived  it  had  four  different  lo- 
cations on  the  east  side  but  was  removed  from  one  of  these  places 
to  another  several  times  in  its  career. 

In  this  newspaper  is  a  large  amount  of  rich  historical  matter. 
It  is  the  only  newspaper  in  the  State  of  whose  issues  during  the 
War  of  the  Revolution  we  have  today  a  complete  file.  Its  position 
was  strongly  in  favor  of  the  cause  of  the  Colony.  The  subject  mat- 
ter in  its  columns  was  well  handled  and  its  literary  style  was  of  a 
high  order. 

Hon.  Zachariah  Allen  had  the  largest  and  best  collection  of  the 
files  of  this  paper  in  the  State.  He  presented  this  to  the  Rhode 
Island  Historical  Society  who  have  added  considerable  to  it.  They 
now  lack  approximately  75  numbers.  The  Providence  Journal  has 
the  next  best  collection.  The  John  Carter  Brown  Library  and  S. 
S.  Rider  have  collections  of  the  earlier  numbers.  The  American 
Antiquarian  Society  of  Worcester,  Mass.,  have  a  few  only.  From 
these  latter  files  we  have  been  able  to  gain  access  to  all  but  three 
numbers  as  above  stated.  Our  thanks  are  hereby  extended  to  the 
custodians  of  these  files  for  the  favor  of  perusal. 

In  1892  Mr.  Albert  Holbrook  made  a  selection  from  the  Deaths 
and  Marriages  herein  recorded  of  such  family  names  and  events  as 
he  was  personally  interested  in.  These  he  copied  into  a  book  which 
is  now  in  the  possession  of  the  Rhode  Island  Historical  Society. 

In  our  collection  following  we  have  taken  every  death  and  mar- 
riage recorded  where  the  names  were  given.  To  do  this,  it  is  need- 
less to  remark,  has  cost  us  a  large  amount  of  time  and  patience.
