here " does not imply that Mr. Mumford himself was present,
but is equivalent, in accordance with old usage, frequently
illustrated in this Diary, to "William Mumford's two eldest
daughters, etc." (Note 102.)
This appears to be the William Mumford, who, in 1729, was
married to Elizabeth Honyman, the only daughter of the Rev.
James Honyman, by Dean Berkeley, it being the only instance,
so far as recorded in the Church Register, of the Dean's performing a marriage, during his residence on the island. After
marriage they resided, for some years, in South Kingstown,
the Narragansett Parish Register containing the following entries, "Aug. 15th- 1734. Cecilia Mumford, Granddaughter of
the Rev. James Honyman of Rhode Island, an infant and
daughter of Mr. William Mumford of South Kingstown, was
baptized by Mr. MacSparran of Narragansett." "July 10th-
1735. Mr. MacSparran baptized William Mumford, a child,
son of Mr. William Mumford, shopkeeper in South Kingstown. The sureties were the Grandfather, the Rev. Mr. James
Honyman, and the Grandmother, Mrs. Elizabeth Honyman,
and the uncle ofthe child, Mr. Francis Honyman." Soon after
this, probably in 1736, Mrs. Mumford died, her remains lying
buried in Trinity Churchyard. In 1738 Mr. Mumford was
elected a Warden of Trinity Church, Newport, whither he
must have previously removed if he be the same William Mumford as the son-in-law of Mr. Honyman. He remained a Warden or a Vestryman, nearly, if not quite, continuously until
at least 1772, when his name is last mentioned in the Annals
of Trinity Church. In 1745 it was voted that he be permitted
to occupy a house, formerly a part of the estate of Nathaniel
Kay, belonging to the parish, the lease being renewed as late
as 1750, for five years. The Narragansett Register records the
baptism of John, son of William and Susannah Mumford, at
Mrs. Cole's, in 1744. This fact, taken with the frequent mention in the Diary, as here, of the families of William Mumford
and Mrs. Cole together, and the farther fact that the latter had
a daughter Susannah make it almost demonstrable that Mr.
Mumford married Mrs. Cole's daughter, as a second wife. Probably at his house, in Newport, occurred the death and funeral
