Notes for Sylvanus Scott:
The youngest child of John and Rebecca Scott, who was about six years old when his father died, he lived with his mother in John Whipple's house. He became Major Silvanus Scott, and early in life entered into the politics of the town, becoming nearly as prominent in his generation as his step-father had been before him. He married, about 1692, Joanna, daughter of Joseph and Esther (Ballard) Jenckes. His wife was a sister of the Governor Jenckes so noted in Rhode Island annals in the first half of the 18th century.
Earlier records of the Scott family in Providence were burned during King Philip's War.

Notes for Joanna Jenckes: The spelling of this last name varies from Jenckes to Jenks to Jencks.
It is not clear how this line ties in with the line descending to 97 Elizabeth Jencks, wife of Joseph Scott, and the daughter-in-law of Joanna. See below, numbers 194 and 195, and see 388 Joseph Jenckes for further discussion.

Notes for Henry Sweet:
Mary Margaret would have been about 47 in 1711. The author of the genealogy does not list all the children, and he gives Ruth's birthdate as 1700. Other sources give 1701, making her a twin of Eala (Alice).

Notes:
John, born 1678, is not on the master list done by Chris Mulholland [Mulholland Family Tree], but he is on the Vital Records of Salisbury. Mercy, born 1693, is on the master list, but she is not on the Vital Records of Salisbury. Further research would be needed to reconcile the birthdates of Mercy and Moses.

Jabez Rounds, born September 28, 1708. v. Priscilla Rounds vi. Samuel Rounds vii. Elizabeth Rounds
Notes for John Rounds
John, whose last name appears both as Round and as Rounds, was married a second time to Hannah Carder of Rehoboth. The intentions are date November 2, 1711. It seems as if Priscilla, Samuel and Elizabeth may be the children of Hannah rather than of Abigail.

Notes for John Taber:
Although Holmes has "Joseph" for the first name of the child born Nov. 4, 1690, it seems more likely that it was "John." John married Abigail Lake, and they had a daughter Hannah Taber who married Water Taber, son of Ebenezer and Abigail.

Samuel Crandall, born about 1663 in Little Compton. He married Sarah Colby. 245. Sarah Colby, born 1666 in Little Compton. Children of Samuel Crandall and Sarah Colby are: 122 i. Samuel Crandall, born October 30, 1686. ii. Mary Crandall, born May 17, 1689. iii. James Crandall, born August 23, 1692. iv. Jane Crandall, born August 23, 1692. v. John Crandall, born January 11, 1694/95. vi. Peter Crandall, born October 25, 1697. vii. Joseph Crandall, born November 28, 1701. viii. Thomas Crandall, born July 27, 1707.
Notes for Thomas Crandall:
Note that this Thomas has exactly the same birthday as the son of 122 Samuel Crandall m. 123 Mary Wilbur. This one would be uncle to the other; and while it is possible that there is a coincidence, I doubt it. I think it is a mistake, and I think it is this one which is wrong.
252. Ebenezer King, born about 1676 in Marshfield, Plymouth, MA He died in East Greenwich, Kent, RI. He was the son of 504. Clement King and 505. Elizabeth Baker. He married Hannah Manning. 253.

Hannah King, born January 13, 1704/05. vi. Mary King, born October 21, 1705. vii. Hannah King, born June 15, 1714. viii. Ebenezer King, born May 23, 1719.
Notes for Ebenezer King:
Hannah, born Jan. 13, 1704/5 could not be followed by Mary born Oct. 21, 1704. It is possible that there was a mistake somewhere in copying the date of the Hannah born in 1714.
