Note the discussion after (528) William Blanchard. The Rhode Island Blanchards are genetically linked wih Blanchards from Yorkshire and Northumberland, not France; though this does not rule out Norman or Huguenot ancestry.

1058. John Steere

"STEERE, (1058) JOHN, Providence 1645, took engag. of alleg. in June 1668, m. (1059) Hannah, d. of (2118) William Wickenden, had (1059i) John, (1059vii) William, and (1059iv) Thomas, but no dates are found. Descend. are now very num."

1060. Capt. Andrew Edmonds(/Edmunds)

"EDMUNDS, EDMONDS, or EDMANDS, (1060) ANDREW, Providence, m. 14 Oct. 1675, (1061) Mary, d. of (2122) Benjamin Herendean, had (1061i) Mary, b. 26 Oct. 1676; (1061ii) Sarah, 17 Feb. 1678; (1061iii) William, 7 Mar. 1681; (1061iv) Andrew, 17 June 1683; and (1061v) Joseph, 2 Feb. 1687; and in 1696 his wid. Mary was allow. to keep the ferry over Seekonk riv."
-- James Savage op. cit.

1061. Mary (Hearndon/ Harrington/) Herenden

According to town records, (1060) Andrew Edmonds was "an old Indian fighter" who was very active in the Indian Wars. A Captain who commanded a troop in Rhode Island in King Philip's War, he also received pay from Plymouth Colony in 1689 for his services there. In 1679 Rhode Island gave him nine acres at Narrow Passage to put a ferry on the road from Boston to New York, as a reward for services. In Oct 1690, the town voted his wife 6 pounds, Andrew now "being gone out in the wars for their Majesty's service". He returned just before his death.

"Trained officers were so sorely needed that only serious crimes could affect their standing, even if prosecuted, many simply jumped bail and fled to other jurisdictions, where they were usually made welcome... (1060) Andrew Edmunds, a Rhode Island member of this fellowship, appears out of the blue on the Providence records when the town appointed him Captain of its Special Company Train Band in 1675.

"It is possible that he had come from Boston under something of a cloud. A court case heard there in July 1674, found [one Andrew Edmunds] a co-defendant with one Joseph Waters, accused of stealing a silver porringer. The court, `being informed Edmunds had a wife in Holland and has remained a considerable time away," fined and imprisoned him and ordered him to return to Holland forthwith. However, Waters's testimony subsequently cleared Edmunds, who was discharged as a defendant [and] released from custody. Though innocent of the accusation, he had evidently been keeping bad company.

"It is not certain that this Andrew Edmunds is identical to the Captain Andrew Edmunds of the Providence militia, but it seems quite likely, and the reference to Holland is significant in view of the Dutch training so many colonial soldiers of fortune received...

"Andrew Edmunds, the immigrant ancestor, came of old English stock. He was born in 1639, died in 1695. He was probably related to William Edmunds, who settled in Lynn, Massachusetts, before 1635, and died in 1693, leaving sons, John, Joseph, and Samuel; also related to Walter Edmunds, who settled in Concord, Massachusetts, as early as 1639, removed to Charlestown, and died July 13, 1667, leaving sons, Joshua, Daniel and John."

1062. James Angell

"ANGELL, (1062) JAMES, Providence, s. of (2124) Thomas, m. (1063) Abigail, only d. of (1064) Gregory Dexter, had (1063vi) John, b. 4 Oct. 1691; perhaps more."

-- James Savage, op. cit.

1063. Abigail Dexter

REF: http://www.familysearch.org/Search/af/ancestral_file_frame.asp?recid=6975417

Family Search lists a first marriage between (1062) James Angell and Mary Lange (1646-) 16 Aug. 1664 Hatherleigh, Devon, England, but this seems to be a mistake -- that James (1631-1721) was the son of John of Crowhurst, Surrey.
