Excerpt from History of the Wanton Family of Newport, Rhode Island Rowland, who lived and died in Indiana, leaving many children, as l have understood; William, who also lived in that State and died a bachelor, and Joseph.

Their eldest, a son, is still living, and is a member of the firm of Miller Coates of New York. Several of the daughters of Thomas and Sarah Robinson were remarkable for their personal charms and intellect ual and literary attainments. One of them, Mary, married John Morton of Philadelphia. She was an uncommonly charming person, whom I well know in my boyhood and early youth. She was a Quaker preacher, not only the best of that sect I ever heard, but I think surpassed both in strength and richness of matter and manner any man preacher I ever list ened to. Her utterances were the more agreeable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from A History of the Vernon House, in Newport, R. I There stands in the ancient town of Newport, on the Island of Rhode Island, a house of unusual historic interest. This house has recently been purchased under circumstances which ensure its permanent preservation. It is therefore now entitled to a review of its past, and it has been thought that it would be agreeable and fitting at this time, to consider, somewhat in detail, the scenes that it has witnessed and the distinguished persons who have been entertained within its walls. To such a retrospect, this paper is dedicated. The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, to give it its full title, is the smallest in the Union. It is, nevertheless, as its name indicates, made up of two very distinct parts. Two capitals, persisting to modern times, long reminded us of this dual origin. Providence was founded by the Salem minister, Roger Williams; Rhode Island by a body of men from Massachusetts Bay who differed from the Puritan tenets, and desired liberty of conscience. With this in view. They came hither to found in the wilderness a state, in which, following the inner light, they might also assure to others the freedom which they had been denied. The first settlement on this island was made in 1638. Newport was founded in the following year - May, 1639. Of the nine adventurers who were banded together in this enterprise, one is of special interest to us, for it is on his original grant that the Vernon House stands. Jeremy Clarke was his name, and the tract of land apportioned to him was a choice one. Extending, it is said, from the Parade to Church Street, and from the waterside to a line high on the hill, it covered a number of acres of most desirable land, high and well drained, as well as convenient to the centre of the town. Jeremy Clarke's house stood, it is believed, just above the line of the present Thames Street. With the green plot before it and the water beyond-behind, the orchard and fields - ir must have been a pleasant place of residence. Living and dying here, Jeremy Clarke was buried on his own land, in a tomb by the waterside, the site of which is long since obliterated. To him succeeded his son, Walter Clarke, the Governor, and he it was who divided the land, running a street through it from East to West - called New Lane or Mary Street, the last name traditionally for his wife, Mary. Another street, starting from the Parade and bounding Walter Clarke's orchard, was and is called Clarke Street.

In reverent and affectionate retrospective view of the influences and conditions which had power and made mark upon the settlement of New England, we are apt to affirm with earnest sentiment that religion was the one force, the one aim, the one thought, of the lives of our forbears. It was indeed an ever present thought and influence in their lives; but they possessed another trait which is as evident in their records as their piety, and which adds an element of human interest to their story which their stern Puritanism never could have done; with them their neighborliness, was as ever present and as sincere as their godliness. Hence the establishment of an hostelry,—an ordinary it was usually called,—for the entertainment of travellers and for the mutual comfort of the settlers, was scarcely second to their providing a gathering-place for the church. The General Court of Massachusetts at an early date took decisive measures with regard to houses of common entertainment. No one was permitted to keep without license “a common victuallyng house,” under a penalty of twenty shillings a week. Soon the power of granting licenses was transferred to the County Courts, as the constant increase in the number of ordinaries made too constant detailed work for so important a body as the General Court. Consideration for the welfare of travellers, and a desire to regulate the sale of intoxicating liquors, seemed to the magistrates important enough reasons not only to counsel but to enforce the opening of some kind of a public house in each community, and in 1656 the General Court of Massachusetts made towns liable to a fine for not sustaining an ordinary. Towns were fined and admonished for not conforming to this law; Concord, Massachusetts, was one of the number. The Colonial Records of Connecticut, in 1644, ordered “one sufficient inhabitant” in each town to keep an ordinary, since “strangers were straitened” for want of entertainment. A frequent and natural choice of location for establishing an ordinary was at a ferry. Tristram Coffyn kept both ferry and ordinary at Newbury, Massachusetts; there was an ordinary at Beverly Ferry, known until 1819 as the “Old Ferry Tavern.” Great inducements were offered to persons to keep an ordinary; sometimes land was granted them, or pasturage for their cattle, or exemption from church rates and school taxes. In 1682, Hugh March, of Newbury, Massachusetts, petitioned for a renewal of his license to keep an ordinary, saying thus: “The town of Newbury, some years since, were destitute of an ordinary, and could not persuade any person to keep it. For want of an ordinary they were twice fined by the county, and would have been a third time had I not undertaken it.” In 1668 the town had persuaded one Captain White to “undertake an ordinary” on high moral grounds; and it is painful to record that, though he did so unwillingly, he found the occupation so profitable that he finally got into disgrace through it.
