granted to Richard, but not the extreme southern end. This
was called Samuel Hutchinson's Hummock, but I can find
no trace of its ever being granted to him. Samuel Hutchin-
son never had any of his land recorded during his lifetime,
but when his will was recorded, many small records of his
land dealings were recorded, too.

Richard Bulgar cut a road of 2 rods in width to the west
of the Great Rock and gradually sold part of his land. His
first sale was to Richard Hart in 1659. This passed to
Peter Tallman and then to Thomas Durfee, who finally
acquired most of the point, which was spoken of in the old
records as the south east corner of the place called the
Common Fence.

Joseph Anthony purchased 2 acres in 1674, and in 1681
he was granted by the Town 45 rods on the east side of



THE LANDS OF PORTSMOUTH 83

Rocky Hill, from the Towns Common. The beach at this
point is declared in the 1717 list of highways to be Town
property and so to remain for the use and benefit of the
public for importnig and transporting horses, sheep, etc.

The following letter to the Town Council shows that
Richard had his troubles after Thomas Durfee moved to
his new land.

"Honorable
"the Complaint of Richard Bulgar that he demandeth
protection and Redress gainst drunken Indians who in their
drunkness broke down my fence in several places passing
between John Simmons his house and Thomas Durfee
where they had their drink: So that my Self being at the
last town meeting: in my abscence my wife was forced to
bolt herself within the house but Sassapanuitt being drunk
with other Indians attempted with throwing of stones
break open the door upon her and put her in a very great
fright; they taking the wood that lay at my door and throw
it about the ground and thus am I lately disturbed by
drunken Indians since drink has been sold there so that I
cannot be at peace by day nor night and my fence hath
been broken down in several places by the Indians to the
ground which disturbance I never had till Thomas Durfee
sold drink for a Red ress of which abuse I hope the Town
will take care to prevent for the future "

So shall I remain ye

friend and servant

Richard Bulgar.

In 1686, Richard Bulgar, then about 74 years of age,
made over his remaining land to the town, for the mainte-
nance of himself for life. In the town treasurer's report for
the \ear 1687 are the following items: — "a pint of honey
and a pound of figs for old Bulgar Is. 3d. to Joseph Tim-
berlake for the hire (jf an Indian to tend old Bulgar, 8s., to
Matthew (irennell for nails for old Bulgars coffin 6d."

Let us now climb to the top of the Great Rock and it is a
climb, too. There is a grand view from here for we are
about 125 feet above the sea. Down the Pocasset River we
see Little Compton in the distance, then Punkatest and
opposite us the Pocasset Purchase. North of this is Assonet,
across the Taunton River is Swansea, then Sowams and
Bristol behind us. At all these places Portsmouth men were
early land owners.

I have heard it said that the reason for this spreading out
in the other towns was the grasping way of an Englishman,
striving for more land. I do not agree with this. They had
families in those days and had to have land for their sons
and the families that were to follow. Read over any of the
old wills of the early settlers; this son to have this land,
another to have land in some other town "where he now
dwells" and so on.

South west of us is Sanfords Cove, in which is the appro-
priately named Spectacle Island, first mentioned when
Samuel Wilbur sold it to Thomas Butts in 1665. Also the
2 acre "neck of land" granted to the same Samuel Wilbur in
1638. There, too, is the "little bay" mentioned by Nicholas
Brown, while Easton's Point stands out as it did when those
first settlers saw it. Over the land called by John Sanford,
Mackpela,* we see the marsh and Gatchell's Pond. Then
comes the Neck, on which was built the first meeting house,
while right across the mouth of the cove is that point on
which Thomas Gorton built his house, the possessor of
which was ordered in 1642 to keep the "ferrie."

How many have thought of the cause of the settlement
of this town? The leaders, Coddington, Clarke, Coggeshall,
Sanford, Wilbur Brenton and many others, were not men



*The onlv meaning I can find for Mackpela is a Biblical one, burial
-place. (Gen'. XXIII- 19, XXV-9.) Austin says that John Sanford had a
child born in 1640 who died young; possibly this child was buried there
although I do not think there ever was a house upon the land. John Sanford
had 8 acres here and sold it to Samuel Hutchinson. The exact location
can not be found.



THE LANDS OF PORTSMOUTH 85

who would with one accord leave everything and just start
another colony. These men were all settled at Boston, mer-
chants and artisans, some of them members of the General
Court. Boston was a growing place so why should they go
to a wild country and start another colony:

There came a day when 75 men of the Bay Colony were
disarmed because they met and talked about religion in a
way not in keeping with the leaders of that place. Who
started all this:

A woman, born 300 years too soon, Annt Hutchinson.
At her house were held the meetings at which those differ-
ences in the religious beliefs were discussed, differences
which led to banishment. Many of the men who settled
here attended those meetings and all the others were believ-
ers in this new doctrine.

What would have happened around here if these meet-
ings had ne\'er been held: These men would never have
left Boston, practically in a body, as they did. The Island
of Rhode Islanci, bound to have been settled some time,
would ha\'e had a far different story.

With another class of men, the conditions, which to us
seem to lock and interlock and forni the goxernment that
has worked out so well, would have probabh' been entirely
different.

Plymouth Colony possessed the land westerly to the
river; this would have remained in the possession of the
Bay Colon}", which would probably have claimed the north-
ern part of the state. Connecticut would surely have kept
the land to the Narragansett Bay and the islands would
have been dix'ided between the colonies.

We of this state should realize what a debt we owe to
Anne Hutchinson, for without her there would never hav^e
been Rhode Island.

Roger Williams of Providence not F. R. S.

By WiNTHROP TiLLEY*

April 22, 1932.
My dear Mr. Chapin:

I am giving below the results of my investigation of the
Roger- Williams-a-member-of-the-Royal-Society rumor,
as you requested.

According to Birch's History of the Royal Society y a
Roger Williams was proposed a candidate for the Royal
Society by Sir Robert Moray ( Murray) at the desire of
Sir Paul Neile on January 27, 1663/4; he was elected
February 3, and admitted on February 1 7 of the same year
(1 375, 377, 385). The name of Mr. Williams also
appears as a member of two committees of the Society, as
of March 30 of the same year (T 406-407 ). The commit-
tees were the mechanical and that for the history of trade.
Birch also states "Mr. Williams was desired to bring in
his observations of the curiosities of England." (I 388.
This is in the same year. )

FVederick E. Brasch, writing in the Scientific Monthly y
(Oct. 1931, p. 343) has assumed that this was the same
Roger Williams who founded Providence. Investigation
of the matter, however, has led me to the conclusion that
it must have been another man of the same name.



88 RHODE ISLAND HISTORICAL SOCIETY

So far as is known, the founder of Providence did not
leave the American colonies after 1 654. A signature of the
Williams referred to by Birch, however, appears on the
records of the Royal Society. You have told me that this
signature, a facsimile of which you have, diifers in impor-
tant respects from any known signatures of the American
Roger Williams.




OF PROVIDENCE, 1656 F. R. S. 166 +

The men who sponsored the election of Mr. Williams
to the Royal Society, Moray and Neile, were intimates of
Charles II. It is apparent from a scrutiny of Birch's His-
tory for several years prior to 1664 that Neile's chief
function as a fellow of the Society was to act as intermediary
between the Society and the King. If he had strong scien-
tific interests, the fact does not appear from Birch's account,
which is given in considerable detail. Moray who was the
"soul" of the Society during its early years, also carried on
negotiations with the King. He had scientific interests, but
chiefly in the fields of physics and astronomy. The only
work on the basis of which the American Roger Williams
could have been elected was his "Key," published twenty
years before the election in question took place. This work
was of philological and ethnological interest, but neither
Moray nor Neile seems to have had interests in those fields.
Furthermore, the radical political philosophy of the
American Roger Williams would have been anything but
palatable to Moray and Neile, both staunch and noted
Royalists, and the latter the son of an Anglican archbishop.

A scrutiny of the list of the known friends of the Ameri-
can Roger Williams at the time of his residence in England,
1652-4, as given by Dr. James Ernst (RIHSColl 24:123,
I 24 ) and in the Dictionary of National Biography, fails to



HKNRV MARC" 11 ant's BOOKPLATE 89

reveal any connections which might have led to his election
to the Royal Society.

The Roger Williams who was elected to the Royal

Society in 1663 4 seems to have been an obscure individual

about whom nothing is known except the fact of his election.

1 shall of course be glad to have you make use of any or

all of this information, as you see ht.

Yours very truly,

WINTHROP TILLEY.

P. S. I should add also that I examined the correspondence
of John Winthrop, Jr., himself a fellow of the Royal
Society, without finding any reference to the election of
Roger Williams, although he was in correspondence with
the American of that name in 1664.

America from the Beginnings to 1765" as a Ph.D. thesis for the Depart-
ment of English, in Brown University.

The bookplate of Henry Marchant is reproduced from
an original through the courtesy of Miss Mary A. Harris.
Judge Henry Marchant, 1 74 1 - 1 796, was Attorney General,
1771-1777 and a member of the Continental Congress,
1777-1789, and a biography of him appears in Updike's
Memoirs of the Rhode Island Bar, pages 83-89 and in the
Biographical Cyclopedia of Rhode I slandy'p. 145. A note
accompanying the Marchant coat of arms, which is pre-
served in the family reads: "William le Marchant — son
of Josiasj William le Marchant — son of James; Eleazer
