=='''Stukeley Westcott==f the first Baptist Church in America, established by Roger Williams in 1638.[1] Coming to the New World from the town of Yeovil in Somerset, England, he first settled in Salem in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, but difficulties with the authorities prompted him to join Roger Williams in settling on the Narragansett Bay in 1638 at a place named Providence.[1] He remained there for a few years, but in 1648 he was recorded as an inhabitant of Warwick, probably having settled there several years earlier.[1][2] He was most active in colonial affairs from 1650 to 1660 when he was a commissioner, surveyor of highways, and the keeper of a house of entertainment.[1] His highest office held was deputy of the colony in 1671.[1] He made his will on January 12, 1677, dying the same day with the will unsigned, leaving his affairs in limbo for the following two decades.[1][3]he unusual combination of the surnames Stukeley and Westcott appears, as does the very unusual female given name of Damaris, found in the Stukeley family.[4]. a public record when he was married in St. John's Church in Yeovil, Somerset, England on October 5, 1619 to Juliann Marchante; his marriage record indicates that he was from Ilminster, a town in Somerset about twelve miles west of Yeovil.[5][6] Juliann was the daughter of John Marchante (baptized at Yeovil 8 August 1571) who was the son of John Marchante (died 1593) by his wife Eva Corninge, which couple was married in Yeovil 18 July 1568.[6] John Marchante was the same as the John Marchant who sailed with Sir Francis Drake and died in Panama in 1595. The baptisms of two of Stukeley Westcott's children were also recorded in Yeovil: a daughter Damaris in 1620/21 and a son Samuel in 1622/23.[5][6] There is no record of where Westcott lived following the baptisms of these two children, but there is reasonable speculation that in 1635 he and his family accompanied the family of William Arnold to New England, departing from the port town of Dartmouth in county Devon. While Roscoe Whitman states this as a fact, he provides no evidence.[7] However, the Arnold family came from the town of Ilchester, scarcely five miles north of Yeovil, and it is possible that the two families were acquainted with each other before sailing to the New World. Both families arrived in the Massachusetts Bay Colony at about the same time, and both came to Providence at about the same time. The oldest daughter of Stukeley Westcott, Damaris, would later marry Benedict Arnold, the oldest son of William Arnold.[8]ay Colony. Here he was received as an inhabitant and made a freeman in 1636.[8] In late 1637 he was granted a house lot in Salem, his family then consisting of eight members.[8] Soon tensions with the local authorities arose, and he, along with several others, was given a license to depart Salem in March 1638, with the proviso that he would be summoned if not gone by a court date in May.[8] Within weeks Westcott and his family joined Roger Williams and other settlers in establishing a new settlement on land that Williams had bought of the local Indians on the Narragansett Bay. The settlement was named Providence and on the initial deed signed by Roger Williams, the initials S.W. for Stukeley Westcott appear first, followed by the initials W.A. of his future in-law, William Arnold.n 1640 Westcott signed an agreement with 38 others to form a civil government in Providence. He lived in Providence for a few years, but in 1648 he was recorded as one of the inhabitants of Warwick.[8] However, he had likely gone to Warwick shortly after its establishment by Samuel Gorton in 1642, and may have been there as early as 1643.[9] He lived in Warwick for most of the remainder of his life until the events of King Philip's War compelled him to move across the Narragansett Bay.ing this time period he was a commissioner from Warwick during five different years and during most of these years he was a surveyor of highways.[8] In 1653 he had the position of assistant in the colony and was on a committee to confer with the Indians about fencing and other matters.[8] Warwick settlers had been accused of treating the Indians unfairly, and in 1655 Westcott and a Mr. Smith were ordered to gather up compensation that was due the Indians.[10] In 1660 he was the foreman of a grand inquest to look into the beating death of a local Indian.[10] appointed to keep a house of entertainment, and nine years later in 1664 he once again received authorization for keeping "an ordinary for entertainment" while the King's Commissioners held court in Warwick.[10]as surrounded by the tumultuous events of King Philip's War which was the outcome of severe friction between several of the indigenous New England tribes and the English settlers. The settlement of Warwick was totally destroyed, and the old man was taken to the settlement at Portsmouth on Aquidneck Island, just north of Newport, to the house of his grandson Caleb Arnold, the son of Governor Benedict Arnold.[11] On January 12, 1677, with the end of his life near, he drafted a will under the direction of his grandson. He did not sign the will, however, expecting his sons to arrive from Prudence Island the next day. He died before they could get to his side, however, and the will was never signed.[10] It was not until twenty years after his death that the will was approved and recorded into the town records.[10] Shortly after his death, his remains were carried back to Warwick where he was buried by his wife on their old homestead.[11]) Westcott were:[12][5]Samuel (baptized at Yeovil 31 March 1622) probably died before adulthood in New England. during King Philip's War.arah.
