General Notes: Husband - Zachary Rhodes

---

He settled in Rehoboth, Bristol County, Massachusetts, in 1643. In 1644, with other settlers, he signed an agreement forming a town government. In 1646 he left Rehoboth, crossed the river and bay to Rhode Island, and with others settled at Pawtuxet, where he became a large owner of land. His reason for leaving Massachusetts appears to have been of a religious nature, as records show that he refused to comply with the Massachusetts law which sought to compel him to contribute for the support of preaching. In religious sentiment he was an Independent, or Baptist. Without doubt he was banished from the colony because of his peculiar views, but he became a man of strength and influence in the community in Rhode Island. From 1664 until 1665 he was treasurer of the town of Providence, and at the same time was a member of the town council. In 1658 he was admitted a freeman. He was a member of the general court at Portsmouth in August, 1659, and in 1662-63. In 1661 he attended as commissioner from Providence the general court at Newport, and was appointed member of a committee to adjust difficulties existing between Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and was also appointed, with Roger Williams and others, to draw up and sign an address to His Majesty, King Charles II. In March, 1663-64, as deputy from Providence, he attended the general assembly of Rhode Island, held at Newport, and also in 1665. In 1653 he, with five others, signed an address to the court assembled in Boston, asking that Pawtuxet might be dismissed from the government of the Massachusetts colony. He made his will in 1662 and died in 1665.
