| Misc. Notes |
Here's the information I have from The Mattesons in America by Porter
Matteson (private printing) Porter Matteson's research is housed in the
Bennington Museum.
Henry Matteson b. 1646, lived on Prudence Island in RI where he made peace
with the Indians and faithfully kept that peace. He lived there during King
Phillips War. He was a faithful friend of Roger Williams. He came to RI
1666-67. (We still don't know where he came from) After the war he
returned to the mainland and settled in E. Greenwich when the town started
in 1677. In 1678 he took 100 acres of land that had been granted to John
Pearce. On 17 Mar 1682, Henry and his wife sold David Shippee their
dwelling and 100 acres. In 1885 he was a Deputy. Henry died in 1690.
Hannah sold to George Vaughn for 4 pounds, land that Henry had bought form
John Knight. Hannah married 2ns Charles Hazelton. No children of this
marriage.50
