153 "Mr. Robinson's sick children."
The children of Gov. William Robinson, the brother-in-law
of Mrs. MacSparran. (Note 18.)
154 "In Point Judith?
This term was employed in those days to designate all that
part of Narragansett lying directly between Tower Hill and
what is now known as Point Judith. Gov. Robinson's estate
of several thousand acres, covering the present Narragansett
Pier, was said to be "in Point Judith," as was also "Kit's
Pond" (now Silver Lake), near Wakefield. — Hazard's Recollections of Olden Times, pp. 10, 11.
155 "Joseph Mumford's son Dick." Note 49.
Richard Mumford was baptized, with his three brothers, by
Dr. MacSparran, in 1727.
156 "Taylor."
The least prominent of the four victims of the explosion.
157 "Mr. Coddington."
The accident here alluded to occurred on September 17,
1744. "A number of persons had collected on the wharf of
Col. Malbone to witness the departure of two privateers,
when a quantity of powder, which had been placed in one
of the stores, by some unaccountable means exploded, killing and wounding a number of persons."—Updike's History ofthe Narragansett Church, p. 165.
Mr. Updike, as well as Mr. Mason, in the Annals of Trinity
Church, Newport, p. 38, was in error in stating that the Mr.
Coddington, who was thus killed, was Col. William Coddington. Dr. MacSparran, a contemporary witness intimately
associated with the victims and present at the funeral of at
least one of them, asserts plainly that it was Nathaniel, a
younger brother of Col. William Coddington. "Sept. 27th,
Nath: Coddington is past Recovery," and again "Oct. 9th,
my Discourse turned chiefly on ye Accident of blowing up
y* happened to Sueton Grant, Nath: Coddington, Jn° Gid-
ley and one Mr. Taylor, y* are all dead." Moreover the
Records of Trinity Church, Newport, show that William
