STUKELEY WESTCOTE
A Paper Read Before R. I. Veteran Citizens’ Historical Association at Providence, April 5th, 1886 by Hon. J. Russell Bullock
My paper may be entitled “Some Incidents in the Life and Times of Stukeley Westcote,” the first named of the twelve grantees in the Initial Deed of 1638 of Roger Williams to his associates. Less known, perhaps, than some of his contemporaries, I know of no one of that goodly company, who, nearly two and a half centuries ago, under the leadership of Roger Williams, and sustained only by strong faith in a just and overruling Providence, reared on yonder hill-side their crude dwellings, and there laid the foundations of a free state, whose names are not worthy of honorable mention, and the record of whose lives should not be treasured as the most interesting chapter in Rhode Island’s history. What I have been able to gather, of one of these men, with some coincident events with which he was connected, I present.
The somewhat unusual name Stukeley is of Saxon derivation. In that tongue it was written Stycle, meaning stiff clay, it afterwards became Stucle, and finally as now, Stukeley.
Stukeley Westcote, originally Stukeley of Westcote, the surname being derived from the locality of the field or enclosure where his early ancestors dwelt, and the first of the line I am now tracing, was born in England in the year 1592, probably in the county Devon. He was received as an inhabitant and freeman of Salem, Mass., as early as the year 1636. He died at Portsmouth, on the island of Rhode Island, on one of the early days of the month of January, in the year 1676-7, aged about eighty-five years.
At the time of Westcote’s arrival at Salem, he was about forty-four years of age, and his family numbered eight persons, thus showing that most of his children had been born previous to his departure from England. On the 25th day of October, in the year 1637, he had a house lot on one acre in that town allotted to him, as one of its inhabitants and freemen. This lot had for one of its boundaries the salt water or harbor, for on the 8th day of October, 1643, the proprietors granted to other parties all of the “waste” (unoccupied) lands lying between the lot of Hugh Laskin and Stukely Weskett down to the sea.
Westcote was a member of the church at Salem of which Roger Williams had recently been the pastor. Fully sympathizing with him in the opinions: first, that the members of the Salem church should make public confession of their wrong in having formerly communed with the church of England; second that the civil magistrate had no lawful authority or right to take cognizance of or punish any person for his religious belief,—Westcote was, with Richard Waterman, Thomas Olney and Francis Weston, on the 12th day of March, 1638, ordered by the “General Court” to remove out of the jurisdiction of “The Govenor and Company of the Massachusetts Bay”, and to remove his family therefrom before the sitting of the next “General Court.” In the language of the tribunals of that day in that Province, the “great censure” was passed upon him for “heresy.” At the same time notice was sent by Hugh Peter to the church at Dorchester of the excommunication of Westcote and of his wife, to prevent them from being received into membership there.
Following the example of his friend and former pastor, Roger Williams, who had two years earlier, accompanied by William Harris, John Smith, the miller, Thomas Angell and Francis Wickes, the two latter then being quite young men, and joined soon after by Joshua Verin, even before they had crossed over from the Seekonk side, Westcote at once left Salem and traversing the “wilderness,” as Roger Williams had called it, then lying between Salem and Providence, arrived at the latter place early in the spring of 1638. Before Westcote’s arrival, Williams had already by his kind treatment of the Narragansetts procured two deeds of gift, the one in 1636, the other in 1638, from their two thief Sachems, Canonicus and Miantinomi, of all that territory extending northwardly, north-westwardly and westwardly, inland twenty miles, and lying between the rivers Pawtucket, now Blackstone, on the east, and the Pawtuxet on the south and southwest. This territory now forms the greater part of the County of Providence.
On the 8th day of the 8th month, 1638, which would be October, Roger Williams freely admitted “twelve loving friends and neighbors,” viz., Stukely Westcote, William Arnold, Thomas James, Robert Coles, John Greene, John Throckmorton, William Harris, William Carpenter, Thomas Olney, Francis Weston, Richard Waterman and Ezekiel Holiman, into equal ownership with himself of so much of the lands above named as he had first acquired in 1636, the same being the lands laying between the rivers Moshashuck and Wanasquatucket. Soon afterwards “others desired to take shelter here”, and among the earliest of these were Chad. Brown, William Field, Thomas Harris, William Wickenden, Benedict Arnold, Robert Williams, Richard Scott, William Reynolds, John Field, John Warner, Thomas Hopkins and Joshua Winsor. And it was agreed by Roger Williams and his original associates that the persons last named, with such others as they and the original associates might thereafter be willing to receive into their fellowship and society, and to a communion of interest in their lands should pay thirty shillings each, of which £ 30 should go to Roger Williams as a “loving consideration and gratuity” for his “great charge and travel” in procuring these lands as ”a place of succor for the distressed.” In the grant by Roger Williams to his twelve original associates, Stukeley Westcote is the first one named.
When the whole number of settlers, including the original thirteen and four females, viz., the widows Sayer, Tiler and Reeve and Alice Daniels, had reached fifty-two, they made a first division between them of a portion of the lands upon which the city of Providence and its immediate suburbs are now located, mutually assisting to each to hold in severalty a “Home Lot,” so called, and an outlying six acre lot, These “home lots” were intended to contain in quantity about five acres, and extended from North and South Main Streets eastward to a line now the line of Hope Street. The “home lot” allotted to Westcote lay between a home lot belonging to Richard Waterman on the north and one owned by Robert Williams on the south. A careful examination of the early records, and especially of the deeds of adjacent home lots from William Reynolds to Robert Williams, bearing the date the 27th of the 11th month., 1644, and from Hugh Buet or Bewitt to Richard Waterman, and to the town, bearing the same date, leads to the belief that Stukeley Westcote’s home lot was located upon the block bounded by Waterman Street on the north and College Street on the south, and nearly in the center of that block, and extending from North Main Street eastwardly to Hope Street.
On the 10th day of the 12th mo., 1649, Westcote having the previous year removed to Warwick, sold his six acre lot to Thomas Olney. On the 12th day of the 3rd mo. 1652, he also disposed of his “home lot” to Samuel Bennett.
On the 27th day of the 5th mo., 1640, he is a party to the agreement for the division of the Pawtuxet from the Providence lands, and for the disposal of the town’s lands, and for the better government of the town. On the 19th day of the 11th mo., 1645, the thirteen original settlers, of whom Stukeley Westcote was one, with fifty-five others whom they had afterwards received as inhabitants with themselves, agreed in writing by an instrument signed by all of them, to “yield active and passive obedience to the authority of the King and Parliament established in this Colony according to the charter, and to all such wholesome laws and orders as shall be made by the major consent” of the town. His autograph signature to this agreement has been traced and is here appended.

In the 12th month, 1648, the day not being named, certain lots of land of threescore acres each, lying against the Pawtucket Falls, are set off to him and Ezekiel Holliman together. On the 19th day of February, 1665, he is allotted seventy-six rights in the common lands east of the seven mile line, there being sixty acres to a right, together with twenty-five acres additional of the common lands. On the 12th day of April, 1675, he is assigned forty-nine rights in the common lands lying west of the seven mile line, there being one hundred and fifty acres to a right. On the 24th day of May, 1675, he is assigned seventy-three rights in the common lands lying between the seven mile and the four mile line.
The initial point from whence the twenty mile line before spoken of, and now forming the eastern boundary of the State of Connecticut, the seven mile line, now forming the western boundary of the towns of Cranston and Johnston and the original town of Smithfield, and the four mile line, was drawn, is what then was and now is “Fox Point”, on the easterly side of Providence river and where that river empties into Narragansett Bay.
In the autumn of 1638, Roger Williams, with Stukely Westcote and his other associates, founded the “First Baptist Church” of Providence, the first church of that denomination established in America. Westcote and his wife, whose christian name is not now known, the early records of that church having long since been lost, were both received into its membership at the time of its organization after baptism by Roger Williams. This venerable institution is said by “Backus” to have been the second Baptist church established in the British empire. Knight, however, in his “History of the Six Principle Baptists”, shows that this sect had a much earlier origin, and that they founded a church at Chesterton as early as 1457. The Providence church was for the first century and a half of its existence of the Six Principle sect. As early as 1771 differences arose about the service of the “laying on of hands” as a prerequisite to the communion. A majority held that while this service was not a prerequisite to communing, it was to membership. The large minority of 87 then left and under the lead of Elder Samuel Winsor and Deacon John Dyer founded the first “Six Principle” church in Johnston. But it was not until 1792, under the pastorate of Rev. Stephen Gano, that the Providence church renounced the necessity of the imposition of hands, and became Calvinistic. The first church in Wanick, organized soon after 1648 by Stukeley Westcote and five others, was of the strict “Six Principle” order. The distinguishing features of this sect, sometimes called “General Baptists” and “Free-will Baptists”, a sect always numerous in Rhode Island, seem to have been the practice of the office of “the laying on of hands” as a condition of admission, the rejection of infant baptism, and of the doctrine of predestination and election, and a belief that by obedience man may attain here a measurable degree of perfection. Their creed is embodied in Heb. vi. 1-2.
On the 30th day of January, 1644, Westcote bears witness under oath to the depredations and outrages committed upon the property and the persons of the first settlers of Warwick by the authorities of Massachusetts Bay, because they had refused to subject themselves and their lands to the pretended jurisdiction of that Province, and how their provisions and arms were seized, how their cattle were killed and furniture destroyed, how their houses were fired and their women and children forced to flee in canoes to the neighboring islands for safety. After surrendering to a superior armed force sent against them, eight men (the ninth, Shotten, having died about that time of the hardships he had suffered), living quietly in their rude homes in the woods of the ancient Shawomet, upon lands they had purchased of the chief sachems and beyond the acknowledged jurisdiction of any patent, were taken under military guard prisoners to Boston. Arriving there, they were tried, not upon the charges for which they had been arrested, that of disloyalty, but for heterodoxy, --their religion was wrong. On the third day of the 9th mo., 1643, they were convicted and sentenced to hard labor in different towns, to wear iron balls upon their limbs, and if they escaped or “published their heresies”, then they were to be punished with death. On the seventh day of the 1st mo. 1643-44, after suffering these indignities for four months, they were pardoned upon the conditions that they should neither return to Providence nor to their former homes at Shawomet. An impartial historian has declared that this proceeding forms one of the darkest pages in the early history of Massachusetts.
It was not until many years after the purchase of Shawomet from Myantonomy that Massachusetts relinquished all claim to jurisdiction over the settlers at Warwick, leaving them in the unmolested enjoyment of their property and religion.

In the spring of 1648, being then fifty-six years of age, Westcote removed from Providence with his family to the new settlement Shawomet, now known as “Old Warwick”, about nine or ten miles south of Providence and on the westerly side of Narragansett Bay. He was not one of its earliest settlers, for Shawomet had been purchased of Miantonomy for one hundred and forty-four fathoms of wampum peage six years before, viz., on the 12th day of January, 1642-3, by Randall Houlden, John Greene, John Wickes, Francis Weston, Samuel Gorton, Richard Waterman, John Warner, Richard Carder, Sampson Shotten, William Wuddall and Nicholas Power, although the latter is not named in the deed. What induced Westcote to leave Roger Williams and his other friends at Providence, after remaining with them ten years, does not anywhere appear. It is known that grave disputes arose during the earlier years of its settlement in regard to the division of its lands, while the doctrine of perfect freedom, both in political and religious concerns, there for the first time promulgated, occasioned contentions alike of creeds and of the right of a people without royal sanction to organize civil government.
Richard Scott and Richard Waterman soon became Quakers. Samuel Gorton, a bold and talented, but eccentric man, not only rejected all outward religious forms and ordinances, but denied the right of the settlers to enact any laws or regulations until authority for that purpose had been first procured from the King.
Warwick, settled in 1642, now in 1643 for the first time enjoyed the advantages of a charter of civil government, granted through the friendship of Robert, Earl of Warwick. Whether some or all of these causes combined led Westcote to a change of residence, is matter of conjecture only. All we know is that on the 5th day of June, 1648, “Steuk Westcot”, with two of his Sons, “Robert Westcott” and “Amos Westcote”, were received as inhabitants of that town.
In November, 1651, in February, 1652, and in December of the same year, he was chosen a “Deputy” to represent Warwick in the Colonial Assembly. In 1653, he was twice elected a “General Assistant”. These officers, usually two from each of the four original settlements in the Colony, formed the Governor’s Council, and also exercised judicial power. Later, they were clothed with legislative powers and finally formed what, under the charter of 1663, was the old Senate of ten. He was one of the committee appointed to call, if necessary, a special meeting of the Assembly, as the Colony was then in “eminent danger”. In 1656, and again in 1660, he was elected a “Deputy” to the Assembly and was, in the former year, one of a committee to restrict the sale of liquor to the Indians, and to regulate the excise and sale of it in the Colony. In April, 1671, he was for the last time elected a Deputy to the Colonial Assembly. Besides these offices under State government, his fellow townsmen committed to him important trusts of a more local character, Thus in 1649, he and Ezekiel Holliman were chosen to collect £13 of the settlers pay to Joseph Cook for watching their cattle against Indian intrusions. In 1653, he was a member of the Town Council. In the same year he was selected to agree with the Indians about Nawsaucet, and the fencing off of their lands. In 1655, he is chosen to take the number of young cattle and divide the money the Indians are to have between them equally; and also to ascertain the damage done to the Indians, and collect the amount of the settlers. This presupposes that the cattle of the whites had trespassed upon the grounds of the Indians. In the same year he is chosen to bound the fence at Quonimicut (Canimicut). In 1656, he is appointed to make a rate or tax to pay for the fence erected between the Indians and the common lands of the settlers. In 1664, he is authorized to keep an ordinary, and to entertain when the King’s Commissioners hold court at Warwick. This vocation of inn-keeper was in early times frequently assumed by such of the settlers as owned commodious houses at central points on the post-roads. The old Benedict Arnold house was for many years a noted hostelry in Warwick. After his last election in 1671 to the Colonial Assembly, being then seventy-nine years of age, Westcote’s name does not appear upon the records as holding any public office.
In addition to the interest which, as already appears, Westcote had in the Providence lands, after his removal to Warwick he became a large proprietor in the “Old Warwick” lands, and in the lands of the Wecochaconet purchase, lying in the forks of the Pawtuxet River and thence down the south bank of that river to a point as far east as Apponaug Cove, and westerly into what is now the town of Coventry, and also in the Coweset purchase, lying south and south-west of the Wecochaconet; and in his will he states that he, together with Samuel Gorton, Randall Holden, Thomas Collins, and John Potter, were the sole proprietors of a tract of about 2,100 acres, situated in the north-eastwardly pan of the town, between the Pawtuxet lands on the north and the ‘Old Warwick” lands on the south.
But few incidents in the private or home life of Stukeley Westcote remain to us after the lapse of more than two centuries from his death.
It is recorded that, on the 14th of August, 1649, James Greene, the eldest son of Deputy Governor, John, sued Westcote in an action of trespass, laying the damages at £6, alleging, not that he, but that a great company of his, Westcote’s friends broke into his brother John Greene’s house in Providence and ate up and spoiled the Indian corn he, James, had stored there, After the suit had been brought, it appears Greene met Westcote at a town meeting and demanded £6 or 2½ bushels of corn. Westcote replied that he would see Mr. Wickes first and then he would “know what to doe”. (Note: This was John Wickes, a neighbor of Westcote’s who was killed and beheaded by the Indians, March 17th, 1676, at the time Westcote took refuge at Portsmouth.) At the trial, Westcote’s son Robert swore that his father had tendered Greene 10 shillings, which Greene refused to accept, saying he would sue the bond. The court found a verdict for “his costs and damages”.
Another incident may be worthy of mention. On the 14th day of June. 1657, John Bennet, a neighbor of Westcote’s at Old Warwick, probably aged and without a family, voluntarily conveys to the latter all of his property, consisting of “8 cattel, 19 lbs. of peage at 8 per penny” and his house and land, excepting £5, which Bennet retains “to dispose of as he may see fit”, upon the condition Westcote and his heirs shall furnish him during his life “meate, drinks and aparall”. And on the 10th day of October, 1670, Amos, the son of Westcote, then living with his father, is excused by the town from service at the three courts, by reason of the “weak condition” of John Bennet, and the necessity of Amos personally attending upon him in his illness. This shows the obligation to take care of Bennet was then being faithfully observed.
It further appears that Westcote and his next neighbor, “Peter Burzecot, the Smith”, on the 27th of November, 1656, indulged in the luxury of a little litigation, each suing the other, but the contention was of short duration, for on the 2nd day of February, 1657, they amicably adjusted all differences without the intervention of court or jury. (Note: Peter Burzecot was of Huguenot extraction. His daughter, Abigail married Hugh Stone, also a blacksmith and who succeeded to his father-in-law’s business. Hugh Stone was the first of the name in Rhode Island, and is the ancestor of the numerous family of “Stones” in Providence and Kent Counties. Asa Stone, of Providence, a descendant of both Hugh Stone and Stukeley Westcote, has in his possession a Bible which the latter brought with him from England.)
In November, 1659, he is witness in the noted suit, tried at Portsmouth, brought by William Field, William Carpenter, Zachary Rhodes and William Harris against John Smith, Treasurer of Warwick, where the issue was whether the bounds of the Roger Williams purchase embraced the meadows on the southerly side of the Pawtuxet River, then claimed by Warwick. And he states in his testimony the interesting fact that Miantonomi, who had been sent for to meet the parties litigant upon the ground and explain the bounds of his grant to Roger Williams, was so displeased with the acrimonious deportment of the parties toward each other that he left the place without deigning to give them any information.
Stukeley Westcote and his two sons, Amos and Jeremiah were among the earliest in 1672 to sign the compact binding themselves to resist the threatened encroachments of the Connecticut authorities upon Rhode Island territory.
As one of the original proprietors of Providence, Westcote was largely interested in the common and undivided lands acquired by Roger Williams from the Indians, and deeded by him to his associates. On the 8th day of the 8th month, 1638, Roger Williams agrees that his twelve original associates and grantees, of whom Westcote was one, might “impropriate” to themselves twelve thirteenth parts, he reserving one thirteenth part to himself, of all of the natural meadows on both sides of the fresh river called the Pawtuxet, upon the condition that they should by that day eight weeks pay in therefor £20; and in case any of the number should fail to pay their proportion within the stipulated time, their share or shares should fall into and become the property of such of them as should pay. On the 3d day of the 10th month, 1638, or five days before the time expired, Roger Williams receipted to them for £18, 11 shillings and 3 pence in full. Westcote’s interest as the owner of one thirteenth part of these natural meadows he gave to his eldest son, Robert, by deed dated December 11th, 1656.
In the latter part of the 10th month, 1638, Westcote contributes £2, 10 shillings toward meeting the debt and expenses of the town, a sum as large as was contributed by any one of the proprietors. An ancient paper in the archives of the R. I. Historical Society gives the date of these first contributions or voluntary taxes as of the year 1635, but this is manifestly erroneous.
“ The lives of the early settlers at Shawomet were full of eventful incident and hazard. No sooner had they completed the purchase of this territory of Myantonomy, the chief sachem, than their rights, alike of jurisdiction and of soil, were disputed by Massachusetts, by Plymouth Colony, and by the local undersachem, Pomham, although this sachem was present and a witness to the deed of sale from Myantonomy. At the instigation of Massachusetts, Pomham, to overawe the settlers, built an earthen fort-work near the head of “Old Warwick Cove”, the remains of which exist to this day. At the same time, as we have already seen, the authorities of that Colony sent there an armed force, who seized the cattle of the settlers, arrested and carried captive to Boston the principal men, tried, convicted and punished them, and upon their release forbade them to return to their home. Massachusetts went so far as to allot the lands of these settlers to others. Upon their release they took refuge at the island of Aquidneck, and the settlement at Warwick was for a time suspended. It was not until 1646, when Samuel Gorton returned from his mission to England, that they felt safe in going back to their former homes. They found Pomham and his tribe, now more hostile than ever, in possession of their fields, and seeking even occasion to seize their cattle, steal their goods, and entering their houses, insult the occupants. During this and through many subsequent years, the records of Warwick are full of precautionary measures adopted by the town to protect the property and lives of its inhabitants from the predatory Indians, who secretly haunted its shaded swamps and shores. But these determined men remained and suffered, for it was their only home. The year 1676, was the most eventful of all. After the great fight at the Great Swamp in South Kingston, on the 19th of December, 1675, the troops of the United Colonies returned to their homes, leaving the town of Warwick defenseless. The Indians, exasperated by defeat, again gathered in armed bands, and on the 16th day of March, 1676, swooped down upon this settlement, burning every house in it but one, and again scattered its inhabitants. In this war, Stukeley Westcote’s eldest son, Robert, was killed, and now homeless, his remaining sons, Amos and Jeremiah, fled to the island of Prudence, where in safety they could raise a crop for their support and he, wifeless and at the age of eighty-four years, is driven for refuge to the island of Rhode Island.
At Portsmouth, on that island, on one of the early days of the month of January, 1677, at the home of his grandson, Caleb Arnold, the son of his daughter, Damaris, by her husband, Gov. Benedict Arnold, after a long life filled with many cares and trials, he sickened and died.” (Note by Editor: Gov. Benedict Arnold, second generation, was the son of William Arnold I who came to America on the same ship with Stukeley Westcott in 1635. The Benedict Arnold of U. S. History was known as General Benedict Arnold, sixth generation in America. The given name, Benedict was carried on for a number of generations in the Arnold family.) “Stukeley’s remains, borne by his Sons across the Bay to its western shore, near to which the last thirty years of his life had been passed, were laid to rest beside those of his wife, in the first public burial ground of Warwick, adjoining his home lot and former residence. This ancient burial ground was near to and west from the present white or old Baptist church, and Mr. Amos Lockwood, a descendant in the seventh generation, living near, and now (1886) seventy-eight years of age well remembers when many tumuli, eroded by time and marked by rough and uninscribed headstones, told of the place where the ancient sleepers rest; but now the ploughshare has obliterated all.
During his life Westcote conveyed to his sons by deeds of gift a considerable part of his landed estates. During his last illness, he prepared a will, of which the following is a copy:
“ I, Stukely Westcott of Warwick in the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations in New England, now residing in Portsmouth in Rhode Island aforesaid, being aged about eighty-five years, and in my right senses and perfect understanding and memory, doe make this my last will and testament, to the disposing of my estate which is as follows, to wit:
In the first place, I bequeath my body to the dust to be buryed, and my soul unto God who gave it. Item. I make ordaine and appoint my eldest son Amos Westcott my lawful and sole executor to see this my will performed, and also to pay and receive all debts as belonging to me.
Item. I give and bequeath to my said Executor all my movable Estate as cattell goods and chattels, and also my land lying in Potaomet Neck, and my meadow lying at Toskownk in the township of Warwick aforesaid. Also two-fourths of my land at Cowesit: all of which said lands together with all privileges there unto belonging or appertaining I give to him his heirs and assighnees forever.
Item, I give and bequeath to my grandson Amos Westcott, my town lot in Warwick aforesaid which I formerly lived on, with orcharding fencing and all things there unto belonging: and also my thirty acres lot lying in Shawomet Neck, be it more or less. Also a six acre lot and a meadow lot lying in Shawomet aforesaid, and also my share of land lying in the south side of Patuxet River which I purchased together with Mr. Samuel Gorton, Mr. Holding, Mr. Collins and John Potter: all which aforesaid lands or parcels of lands with all and singular the privileges and appurtenances there unto belonging or in any wayes appertaining I
