12 "At S. Pauls."
The Narragansett Church of S. Paul, erected in 1707, in the
southern part of North Kingstown, about five miles below
Wickford, stood upon the spot now marked by a monument
to Dr. MacSparran set up by the Diocese of Rhode Island in
1868. The ancient structure was removed in 1800 to the
village of Wickford, where, although superseded by a newer
parish church, it still stands in good preservation, being used
every summer for Divine Service.
13 "Miller Major Stafford."
This was Samuel Stafford (born September 24, 1692), a son
of Amos and a descendant, in the third degree, of Thomas
Stafford who settled in Warwick in 1652. Thomas Stafford,
about 1626, emigrated from Warwickshire, England, to Plymouth, New England, where he built the first grist-mill, run
by water. It is claimed by a descendant that later he removed
to Providence, where he erected the first grist-mill in Rhode
Island, near Mill Bridge, at the North End. After his settlement at Old Warwick, he built a grist-mill for the Shawomet
settlers. Major Samuel Stafford, therefore, inherited the business of "miller" from his ancestor.—Updike's Hist, of Narragansett Church, p. 375.
14 "Mr. Francis"
Abraham Francis, of Old Warwick and previously of Boston,
was said to have been an heir of most of the territory of that
city, without being so fortunate, however, as ever to enter
upon its possession. He married Ann Phillis (or Anphillis), a
daughter of Moses Lippet of Old Warwick. Dr. MacSparran
appears to have held Mr. Francis in unusually high esteem
and frequently held services at his house.—Updike's Hist, of
Narragansett Church, p. 372.
15 "Bror Jno'."
John Gardiner, eldest son of William Gardiner of Boston Neck
and a brother of Mrs. MacSparran and Dr. Silvester Gardiner,
was born in 1696 and died in 1770. His life was spent upon the
homestead farm of his ancestors, at Bonnet Point, comprising
