having been drawn into it, through the support of the Pragmatic Sanction. The King joined the allied army in June,
1743, and, a few days later, occurred the battle, in which the
French were beaten, occasioning great exultation throughout
the British realm. The progress of the sovereign, in state, to
the singing of a Te Deum, after this signal victory, was made
the occasion of the composition, by Handel, of the well-
known "Dettingen Te Deum."
117 "Billy Gardiner."
John Gardiner's son William, a nephew of Mrs. MacSparran,
was but a year and a half old at this time. " Billy Gardiner "
■ must, therefore, have been her brother William, who was now
forty-five years of age, having been born May 21, 1698. He
married, a little before coming of age, Elizabeth, a daughter
of William Gibbs, of Newport. Mrs. Matthew Stewart*(Note
36), of New London, and Mrs. Nicholas Lechmere, of Newport, were his daughters.
118 "Sebastian Kerhaut."
A servant or employe of Mr. Matthew Stewart, of New London (Note 36). At a later date Dr. MacSparran mentions
him as "Sebastian Carhort, Stewart's man." His presence
with " Billy Gardiner " confirms the supposition that the latter
was Mr. Stewart's father-in-law, William Gardiner.
119 "Mrs. Wilkinson."
The wife of Capt. Philip Wilkinson, of Newport. Capt. Wilkinson was a merchant, associated with Daniel Ayrault, Jr.
(Note 101), and a well educated and intelligent gentleman,
who emigrated to America from the North of Ireland. April
26, 1736, he married Elizabeth, daughter of John Freebody,
of a well-known old family of Newport, whose name is still
popularly attached to a lot of land adjoining the Casino, in
Bellevue Avenue. Mrs. Wilkinson lived until 1759. The
Narragansett Register records, on August 6, 1747, her baptism, by Dr. MacSparran, by immersion, in Pettaquamscutt
Pond. The Wilkinsons were exceptionally valued friends of
Dr. and Mrs. MacSparran, frequently referred to in this Diary,
and visited much at the Glebe, Col. Updike's and other
Narragansett houses. Capt. Wilkinson was one of the execu-
