®Qtt$ 64 "Capt. Mumford." Capt. Richard Mumford, of Newport (born September 6, 1698), on his way to Court. Capt. Mumford was a brother of Thomas, Joseph and Benjamin (Notes 44, 49, and 53) and an active member, as well as a Vestryman, of Trinity Parish. He took part, as captain of a company, in the expedition for the reduction of Louisburg, at which place he died in October, 1745. (Note 297.) 65 " The Western Clergie." It is a curious question, where the territory of "the Western Clergie" was, in 1743, to be found. The missionary stations at Albany and Schenectady appear to have been those nearest the Western frontier, at that date. Probably, however, the native New England clergy are those alluded to here as "the Western Clergie." (Note 228.) 66 "Court:' The court ofthe South County of Rhode Island was then held on "Tower Hill" rather than at "Little Rest," as at a later date. "Dec. 3rd-1746, Dr. MacSparran preached at the County House, 'Tower Hill.'" (Narragansett Parish Register.) The proximity of the Glebe House to "Tower Hill" led many gentlemen, attending the court, to lodge or dine at the Doctor's. 67 "Seabury simple." The Rev. Samuel Seabury, who had been settled at New London for twelve years (Note 35), had, in the previous year, 1742, been transferred to Hempstead, Long Island. On his return from his visit, of a week or two previous, at Newport, he appears to have tarried at New London and officiated for his former parishioners, thus countenancing, as the Doctor implies, their violent conduct towards Mr. Morris and incurring his disapproval. 68 "Col. Coddington." Col. William Coddington, of Newport and Narragansett, was a grandson of Gov. William Coddington, who emigrated to Boston in 1630, subsequently removing to Newport and assisting to form the first settlement there. The Colonel was born July 15, 1680, and continued a resident of Newport until about [93]
