==Biography (1)==
:2nd Generation in the line of [[Earle-82|Ralph (1) ]]
:Qutoted From the Book: RALPH EARLE AND HIS DESCENDANTS Earle, Pliny. ''The Earle Family : Ralph Earle and His Descendants.'' (Worcester, 1888). [https://archive.org/details/earlefamilyralph00inearl Internet Archive link]

:[2-1].
:Ralph Earle, son of Ralph and Joan Earle; m. before Oct. 26, 1659, Dorcas, dau. of Francis and Lydia Sprague, of Duxbury, Mass.; and d. probably in 1716, as letters of administration were granted to his son John on the 6th of January, 17 17.
:The first intimation of this Ralph is in the record of a town meeting in Portsmouth, January 19, 1651, where his father is mentioned as Ralph Earle, Senior. The next is his signature as a witness to one of his father's deeds of real estate, November 24, 1656.
:He was received a freeman of the town May 11, 1658; and at the same meeting it was " Ordered that Ralph Earll Jun'' shall be payd Eleven Shillings after the Rate of Eight white peages (beads) per peny, by the Treasurer."
:October 26, 1659, Francis Sprague, "of Duxborough," conveyed to his "son-in-Law, Ralph Earl, of Road Island," one-half share of land at " Coaksett and Acushena, in the Jurisdiction of Plymouth." Sprague had his title to the land from the Indians Wosamequin and "Wamsitta."
:It is probable that Ralph immediately removed from Portsmouth and settled upon this land, as at the time of all known subsequent allusions to him he was in Dartmouth, within which the land was situated. He was one of the persons who received the confirmatory deed of the town, and it is known that he was there in 1663.
:May 10, 1684, John Eyanoe conveyed to Ralph Earle, a neck or island, made at high water, in Yarmouth, in consideration of a "certain parcel of Land sittuate under ye goverment of new york in America, upon cut Ahonkko, viz. one neck and one island in A fresh pond upon said cut Ahonkko, and Twenty acres of Land in Dartmouth, payd by Ralph Earl."
:June 13, 1688, "Ralph Earl of Dartmouth," " in consideration of natural love and affection," conveyed to his son Ralph, " one half of the westermost island, called Elizabeth Island, to be his after my decease."
:October 20, 1689, "in consideration of natural affection," he conveyed to his son William one hundred acres of land in Dartmouth.
:June 10, 1692, he says that " of my own moote [and] motion, for divors good causes and good considerations moveing mee thereunto, beside my trew Love and naturall Affections that I bare unto this my youngest son Joseph Earle, and for his advancement for time to come," and "with the consent of Dorcas, my wife," he conveyed to the said Joseph two hundred acres of land in Dartmouth. This was "bounded upon Ponaganset River, So up into the woods."
:July 24, 1693, he conveyed to his son William, "in consideration of natural love and affection, one-quarter part of the Island called by the Indians Pocatahunka, being the westermost Island."
:He was a large landholder, and many other of his conveyances are upon record. Of these grants, the only consideration for the value of the land appears to have been his "natural love and affection "in the following instances, namely: 250 acres to his son John; after his death 100 acres to his grandson John, 100 acres to his grandson Daniel, 50 acres to his grandson Benjamin, and "A small Island, or Tract of Land," to William Ingraham.
:The following paragraph is taken from John W. Barber's Historical Collections of Massachusetts:
::"During Philip's War a great part of this town [Dartmouth] was laid desolate and many of the inhabitants killed. Most of the Plymouth forces were ordered thither. In coming to Russel's garrison, at Ponaganset, or Aponaganset, in this town, they met with a number of the enemy that had surrendered themselves, prisoners, on terms promised by Capt. Eels, of the garrison, and Ralph Earle, who persuaded them to come in, by a friendly Indian whom he employed. It is to be regretted, however, that notwithstanding the promises made by the above persons to the Indians, they were, by the superior authorities, carried away to Plymouth, 'then sold and transported out of the country, being about eight score persons."

:The children of Ralph and Dorcas (Sprague) Earle were :

:7-1. John Earle; m. Mary Wilcox.

:8-2. Ralph Earle; m. Dorcas Dillingham.

:9-3. William Earle; m. Hephzibah Butts.

:10-4. Joseph Earle; m. Elizabeth Slocum.

The following is an outline of a working theory of Earle family relationships that makes sense of birth dates, marriages, and lists of children in a variety of sources. Where a name like Ralph Earle-82-129-212 is shown, the suggestion is that the profiles for Earle-129 and earle-212 should be merged into Earle-82. Obviously, this theory is subject to any available primary or solid secondary evidence which should be used to override or correct this working theory.
