| Notes for *George Wightman: His occupation was a tailor. George Wightman was born Nov. 4, 1632 and Died Jan. 7, 1721/22.Upon Arrivalto Rhode Island in 1654, he and his wife Katherine Smith Updike, settled on a farm located on a tract that was purchased from Richard Smith in the Quidnesset section, north of Wickford, near North Kingstown where they reared a family of five sons and three daughters.The land they purchased was handed down intact through six generations and was known for more that tow hundred years as the Wightman Homestead. During this time as Rhode Island was being settled, there were some land disputes among the various Companys, much confusion over property titles, and much difficulty for all settlers in Kings Province regarding their political allegiance.In 1669, George Wightman and others were arrested and taken to Hartford, CT. because of their allegiance to the government of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.They were kept in jail some time. On July 25, 1670, George Wightman appears, assisting a neighbor, Samuel Dyer, witnessing an agreement on the part of Samuel Dyer and Henry Dyer, "sons of William Dyer" to pay to their sister, Mary Dyer, "eldest daughter of William Dyer", 100 pounds within three years.In 1671, an Oath of Allegiance was taken by those adhering to the jurisdiction of Rhode Island.George Wightman was among the number.On May 6, 1673, the Assembly elected George Wighman (together with others) freeman of Kings Province. On July 29, 1679, George Wightman and forty-one others of Narragansett petitioned the King praying he "would put an end to these differences about the government thereof which has been so fatal to the prosperity of the place, animosities still arisingin people's minds as they stand affected to this or that government."In 1686, George was elected Constable. On March 6, 1687/87, Court met at Rochester "upon complaint to this court made by Robert Spink and others of the town of Rochester that several highways in said town are stopped up. It is ordered that the highway which leads from George Wightman's to the country road and comes out to the said road between the land of James Reynolds and John Briggs be forthwith laid open."On September 14, 1687, Court sitting at Rochester, members of the Grand Jury were sworn, George Wightman being one of the number. The land records from Kington (Town Hall at Wickford) do not begin until 1686.That George Wighman had acquired several parcels of land before that date is evident from later conveyances in his name as grantor and from his will.The deed to the Quidnessett homestead bears the date of May 1682 and the deed itself is kept in the town book.He possessed lands totalling some 2,000 acres.His "Great Bible", printed in 1587 in London is now owned by a direct descendant of his oldest grandson, George Wightman, to whom he himself bequested it. The will of George Wightman of Quidnessett, dated April 26, 1716, was presented for probate on February 2, 1722.The record of the will and codicil is now only partly legible.On December 16, 1870 an attempt to rob the bank at Wickford in which the town records for North Kingstown were kept, resulted in an explosion and fire in which the books were badly damaged.Not only were the margins of the pages charred and broken, but some pages were scorched entirely clean, and many pages are gone.Fortunately, George Wightman's will was transcribed from the town book by a Wightman descendant before the robbery. The following is the will of GEORGE WIGHTMAN: "To all Christian people before whom these resents shall come, I Geroge Wightman of Kingston, in the colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations in New England... Know ye that the aforesaid George Wightman being aged and grown very weak in body yet through the mercy of God at present I have my perfect understanding Praised be God for it but not knowing how soon it may please God to call me out of this world, do make, ordaine and declare this Insturment in writing to be my last will and Testament in manner and form following, hereby revoking and making void all other Will or Wills by me theretofore made either by word or Writing.

| Notes for *Henry (Webb) Richmond: Ashton Keynes, 29 March, 1736 Dear Cousin, It is agreed by all that our ancestors first settled at Rodborne, Wilt; that two branches lived at Chedderton in Lyddiard Treygoze Parish, Wilts and Brinkworth, Wilts. The farthest of our family I can trace is our grandfather who lived at Christian-Malford, Wilts, about 3 miles from Chippenham in the county. The house is now standing. Henry, our grandfather, had 4 wives and as I have been informed, 25 children, 12 of whom grew up to be men and women.Children by first wife: John and Henry (The Amesbury Branch) now decending from John, who killed his brother after (during?) the civil wars and cost our grandfather so much money to save his life that his estate was sold or irrecoverably morgaged. Children by second wife: Peter, father to George and William. Children by third wife: Silvester, Oliffe, my father, James (died at Campden in Cloucester County), and left children - Francis (died unmarried). Children by fourth wife: Jane, Edward, Mary - died unmarried, Elizabeth - married, but died without offspring, Thomasine - married Ashton Keynes and left children. John and Henry, our grandfather's sons, were officers of distinction in the civil wars, one in the king's army and the other in Cromwell's, and our grandfather's home was often plundered by both armies, the king's party saying he had a son in Cromwell's party and Cromwell's party that he had a son in the kings. Your affectionate though unknown kinsman, Oliffe Richmond John Richmond of Amesbury, Wiltshire, who married a Mary Beckington in 1668, and had 3 sons and 3 daughters, whose births etc. are recorded in Amesbury, must have been, according to the letter of Oliffe Richmond quoted above, a son or grandson of John Richmond of Taunton. It is possible that it is so, as John Richmond was about 41 years old when he left England, which leaves ample time for a previous marriage in England and would permit the Amesbury branch to claim the same ancestor. Dr. Sylvester Richmond, the brother of John Richmond, obtained great celebrity as a physician throughtout the counties of Lancaster and Chester, and gained a large property.He was elected Mayor of Liverpool and was actively engaged in supporting the royal cause during the agitations of that period. He married Sarah Tarleton, and had 5 sons and 2 daughters. Rev. Legh Richmond, author of "The Dairyman's Daughter", was one of his decendants. He died in 1692.
