son of Christopher and nephew of the Thomas mentioned
in the Diary, but it, some years since, fell into utter decay
and has been removed. This estate was once considered the
handsomest in Wickford and was famous, in its day, for its
beautiful flower gardens.—Updike's Hist, of the Narragansett Church, pp. 120-125.
295 "Justice Gardiner's."
This was, no doubt, Judge Ezekiel Gardiner. It is probable
that his residence at this time was the old Gardiner house,
still standing at the corner, on the Post Road, about a quarter
of a mile east of the original site ofthe Narragansett Church,
where the MacSparran monument now marks the spot. Nicholas Gardiner, son of Nicholas and second cousin to Mrs.
MacSparran, deeded, about 1714, "a farm on the great
plain," to his brother Ezekiel, believed to be the Justice
Gardiner of this entry in the Diary. The Gardiner house,
just alluded to, is on the eastern border of the Great Plain.
This corner is still popularly called "Pinder Zeke's Corner,"
after some Ezekiel Gardiner, it is supposed, whose mother
was of the Pinder family, a somewhat prevailing one in North
Kingstown, in past days. Such devices were very common in
the Narragansett country and were often necessary to distinguish those ofthe same name. Judge Gardiner's residence
would thus be directly on the way from Thomas Phillips's
to the Doctor's own house. It is stated, in the town records
of North Kingstown, that, after the confiscation ofthe farm of
George Rome, the Tory of Boston Neck, in 1776, it was sold to
Judge Ezekiel Gardiner. Ezekiel Gardiner, Jr., who married
Susannah Congdon, in 1764, was, probably, a son of Justice
Gardiner and may have been the one known as " Pinder Zeke."
296 " Joseph Northrup?
This Joseph Northrup, who married Mary Congdon, was,
probably, a son of Henry, commonly called "Harry" Northrup. (Note 99.) He does not appear to be the same Joseph
Northrup who was a tailor and worked at his trade at Dr.
MacSparran's house (Note 251), having his boy with him.
There is a record of the birth of two children of Joseph
Northrup (son of Henry) and of Mary his wife.
