In 1636, Roger Williams, recently banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony because of his religious beliefs, established a settlement at the head of Narragansett Bay that he named “Providence.” This small colony soon became a sanctuary for those seeking to escape religious persecution. Within a few years, a royal land patent and charter resulted in the formation of the “Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations,” which incorporated Williams’ original settlement and espoused his tenets of freedom of religion and separation of church and state. During the ensuing decades, thousands of Baptists, Quakers, Jews, and Huguenots relocated to Rhode Island from other New England colonies, the British Islands, and Europe in search of religious freedom. One such individual, John Thomas, an immigrant from Wales, made significant contributions to early settlements at Jamestown on Conanicut Island and at Wickford on the nearby mainland of Rhode Island. He was the first town constable of Jamestown in 1679, and later owned hundreds of acres of land in the towns of North and South Kingstown. This fully indexed work traces and sketches the lives of his descendants, many of whom were at the forefront of the great American westward migration, and represents the most comprehensive compilation of them to date. It is the result of twenty years of extensive research and includes detailed information from military pension archives, will and estate records, agricultural data, county histories, and migration patterns that far exceeds the standard for genealogical works of this scope and magnitude. It is important for us to remember those who helped shape our nation. This work provides valuable information for those who are interested in this family and its evolution in America.
We have followed Cate through her life of trials and tribulations, happy events, and sad ones, since her first diary was written in 1863 when she was twenty-two years old. She kept a record of everything that happened to herself, her family and friends, her constant cooking, housework, moves they made, trip they took, marriages, births, and deaths. Her life was the oxcart, whale oil lamps, and the horsedrawn carriage. Cate's life is different in Milford, no longer living on the farm, with Zaph gone all the time. After many moves, they eventually settled into the Gilson house along the Souhegan River, where Cate keeps track of the rising water at the stone bridge. New inventions are now coming along, and grandchildren are visiting, still as her family grows, there is the neverending cooking, cleaning, and Monday wash day as she takes care of four grown men. Cate still finds time to write of the day's happenings in her beloved diary no matter how tired she is at night. Join Cate as she continues on with her life from 1885 to 1899 and her faith in God that sustains her through this arduous journey. All of this work is beginning to take its toll on her life, that when she was young seemed like child's play. The prayer meeting is a barometer of how the Church is doing. -Assistant Pastor Bob Sundstrom, Burns Hill Christian Fellowship, Milford, New Hampshire
The journal of Philadelphia Quaker Elizabeth Sandwith Drinker (1735-1807) is perhaps the single most significant personal record of eighteenth-century life in America from a woman's perspective. Drinker wrote in her diary nearly continuously between 1758 and 1807, from two years before her marriage to the night before her last illness. The extraordinary span and sustained quality of the journal make it a rewarding document for a multitude of historical purposes. One of the most prolific early American diarists—her journal runs to thirty-six manuscript volumes—Elizabeth Drinker saw English colonies evolve into the American nation while Drinker herself changed from a young unmarried woman into a wife, mother, and grandmother. Her journal entries touch on every contemporary subject political, personal, and familial. Focusing on different stages of Drinker's personal development within the domestic context, this abridged edition highlights four critical phases of her life cycle: youth and courtship, wife and mother, middle age in years of crisis, and grandmother and family elder. There is little that escaped Elizabeth Drinker's quill, and her diary is a delight not only for the information it contains but also for the way in which she conveys her world across the centuries.
