Kingstown, children being born to them in 1747, 1751 and
1754-
316 "Suckatash."
Green corn and beans cooked together, it being a dish, as
well as a name, borrowed from the Narragansett Indians.
The ordinary orthography is succotash, the Indian form being
msickquatash, said to mean "maize boiled whole."
317 "Mary Chappel."
She was a widow, whose name occurs frequently in the Narragansett Parish Register. In several cases she is mentioned
in the Diary as working at the Glebe House, apparently as a
tailoress. Mrs. Chappel became a communicant in 1756. Her
daughter Esther was the wife of William Davis, who lived
in the Glebe House after the death of Dr. MacSparran.
On April 4, 1763, the Rev. Mr. Fayerweather, having been
lately married (Note 308), records, in his usual quaint fashion,
in the Parish Register, "Mr. Wm- Davis and family moved
away from the Parsonage House, where they had lived with
Mr. F. for two years, in great unanimity and Peace."
318 "Dr. Moffat." Note 46.
Dr. Moffatt is no longer mentioned, as before, as a " Scotch
Doctor," having, no doubt, in the meantime, become familiar
by frequent visits. It was in this year, 1751, that the enterprise of manufacturing snuff was actually begun. — Cole's
History of Washington and Kent Counties, p. 395.
319 "Jn"- Bull?
He was a son of Isaac and Rebecca Bull, having been born
in South Kingstown May 15, 1732, and seems to have been
visiting at the Doctor's. No connection appears between these
Bulls of South Kingstown and Capt. Henry Bull of Newport.
320 " Capt. Campbel."
Master of a vessel sailing from Newport. The Doctor refers
to him repeatedly in this part of the Diary.
321 "y Dollars."
This is the first mention, in the Diary, of any money except
English. These were, undoubtedly, Mexican "Pillar Dollars," American silver dollars not being coined until 1794.
