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.
