VARIOUS FAMILIES: I have always been fascinated by how such a small colony/state could generate so many ancestral lines. I believe I have all of the families sorted that elected to follow Roger Williams or other religious dissenters into what would become Rhode Island.
Joanna Arnold m. Zachariah Rhodes [1645] Elizabeth Collins m. Samuel Gorton [1695]
Mercy Williams m. Resolved Waterman [1659] Mary Howland m. Henry Goddard [1693]
Catherine Holden m. John Rhodes [1714] Susanna Goddard m. William Wall [1721]
Catherine Greene m. Charles Holden [1688] Patience Pierce m. John Wall [174?]
Annis Almy m. John Greene [1648] Frances Dungan m. Randall Holden [1648]
Mary Allen m. Thomas Remington [1679] Margaret Wheaton m. John Gorton [1675]
There you have it, 17 families that called Rhode Island home until Captain Zachariah Rhodes opted to make his home in Baltimore's Fell's Point neighborhood between 1800 and 1810. The couples listed above show when a new family was introduced, with the year they were married. After that families intermarried. The only family that I have without any information other than a name is that of Patience Pierce. Otherwise, some of the families date back 6-7 generations.
Families: Allen, Almy, Arnold, Collins, Dungan, Goddard, Gorton, Greene, Holden, Howland, Pierce, Remington, Rhodes, Wall, Waterman, Wheaton & Williams
