| 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 | ||||||
