Notes

Updated June 28, 2022. Compiled by Howder (www.howderfamily.com) from the following source(s):

(1) Bullock, J. Russell. Incidents in the life and times of Stukeley Westcote: with some of his descendants. Bristol, R.I.: 1888.

"Jeremiah-2 WESTCOT, was the youngest son of Stukeley-1. He was probably quite young at the time of the arrival of his father in America, and accompanied him first to Providence, in 1638, then to Warwick, 1643. In 1654, July 13, his name first appears as a witness to the deed of purchase from the Sachem Taccoman of 'Potawomoot' neck. In 1664, he is appointed an office of the town of Warwick to take an Indian prisoner from there to Newport. in 1666 he is chosen a committee to go to 'Namket' and 'Coeset' and warn the Indians not to plant on the town's land. He married in 1665, July 27, Eleanor ENGLAND, daughter of William of Portsmouth, R. I., 1644. He was made a freeman 1672. It is supposed Eleanor survived her husband, as in 1691, February 2, 'Eleanor, widow' with Jeremiah her son, deed certain lands. Jeremiah was a farmer and passed nearly all of his life at 'Old Warrick,' residing on land opposite to and given to him by his father for life. He died in 1686 and was probably buried in the burial ground near his farm where his father was buried. He left no will, and the town council of Warrick, as was the custom in those days, made one for him. Jeremiah had eight children, all of whom were born at 'Old Warrick,' and all six of his sons survived him. They were as follows: I. Jerimiah-3; II. Eleanor-3; III. Persis-3; IV. Stukely-3; V. Josiah-3; VI. Samuel-3; VII. William-3; VIII. Benjamin-3."
