Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Robert RANSOM was born on 15 Sep 1687 in Wexford, Washington County, Rhode Island (son of Joshua RANSOM and Mercy GIFFORD); died on 23 Jan 1777 in Colchester, New London, Connecticut, USA; was buried in Colchester, New London, Connecticut, USA.

    Notes:

    Robert of Colchester undoubtedly led an industrious life and was largely engaged in the acquisition of wealth, though it would probably do him an injustice to say that he did not divide his time impartially between treasures of the heavenly and earthly sort, for his interest manifested in the affairs of the Colchester Society indicates that he did not overlook the spiritual concerns of the good people with whom his fortunes were cast. His daily duties and exemplary life, as commemorated by local and family records, mark him as an interesting character. He and Alice reared a large family, 7 boys and 4 girls, and all them, so far as the history of their careers has been preserved, seem to have achieved success in their varied lives, and their share of honors in public stations.

    Robert died supposed on the old farm near Colchester.

    Robert married Alice NEWTON before 1709. Alice (daughter of James NEWTON and Mary HUBBELL) was born on 28 Feb 1686 in Colchester, New London, Connecticut, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 3.  Alice NEWTON was born on 28 Feb 1686 in Colchester, New London, Connecticut, USA (daughter of James NEWTON and Mary HUBBELL).

    Notes:

    On her father's side, Alice was lineally descended from Richard Smith, the first settler in Narragansett Country, through his daughter Joan, who married Thomas Newton, father of James. It is not improbable that James Newton moved from Fairfield, taking with him his daughter Alice when she was quite young, and at North Kingston, where they settled, she first met Robert, her future husband, and that they became playmates and companions from that time. The date of Alice's death and place of burial are unknown. From the fact, however, that she did not join him in the deeds to his sons, distributing his estate, nor in other conveyances of real estate executed by him for many years previous to his death, it is to be inferred that Robert survived his wife a considerable period. The Newtons had a family burying ground and it is not unlikely that Alice was laid to rest there among her kindred. That Robert, when he passed away was buried by her side, and the graves either left unmarked, or headstones, if erected, have long since crumbled to dust by the wasting touch of time.
