Notes par John Briggs Jr

Notes:The following information is based on research published in THE AMERICAN GENEALOGIST vol 59, 1983 by Douglas Richardson, M.A.

"In all the Proprietors' Records John Briggs is always called 'Senior' which indicates to us that another man by the same name lived in the area at the same time. i.e. 1657-1661. He could have been John Briggs (Clement), or possibly he may have been so designated to distinguish him from his son, John."

The following information is based on research published in THE AMERICAN GENEALOGIST vol 59, 1983 by Douglas Richardson, M.A. In this article, Mr. Richardson gives the following children for John and Agnes: 1. John bp 27 Sept 1634, Thornbury; suggests without any proof that this is the younger John of Taunton; 2. Katherine bp 6 Jan 1636/7; nfr 3. Richard bp 17 Mar 1638/9; d Taunton bef. 13 Dec 1692; [again speculative-no proof that Richard of Thornbury is the same man as Richard of Taunton] 4. poss. Joanna [mentioned in prenuptial agreement as being of Taunton] 5. William b. ca 1645; d 3 Jan 1728 aged 83; 6. Hugh [year of birth unknow] mar. 1 Mar 1682/3; d bet. 22 Aug 1692 and 1698; It is proven through land records and deeds that John of Taunton was the father of Richard, William and Hugh; based on the fact this was the only Briggs family in Taunton, Joanna (Briggs)Tallman of Taunton, is placed in this family speculatively; 4.

«b»Life Story of John Briggs 1642-1707
«/b»(I) John Briggs, immigrant ancestor and founder, was a native of England, whence he emigrated at a date unknown to the American colonies. He is first of record in Kings Town (Kingston) R. I., in the year 1671, but in all probability was a resident there long before that date. On May 20, 1671, he became clerk of the military company, at the same time taking the oath of allegiance. On January 1, 1672, he and five others bought of Awashuwett, chief sachem of Quohesett, in Narragansett, a tract of land there. On January 11, following, he purchased fifty-seven acres of Richard Smith for £5. In 1673 he was admitted a freeman. In 1687 he was chosen constable for Kings Town (Kingston), and on September 6, of that year, was taxed 5s. 8d. He and his wife Frances, sold land to William Allen, in 1697, after which date their names pass out of the records. Both he and his wife died shortly after 1697. John Osborne Austin assumes that Thomas and Daniel Briggs were their sons, but states that the evidence is not conclusive.
