The tombstone to the memory of Wil1iam Dungan's widow is still standing in the old cemetery at Newport.  The inscription reads as follows: "Here Lyeth ye Body of Mrs. Frances Vaughan, Alias Clarke, ye mother of ye only children  of  Capt'n Jeremiah Clarke.  She died ye 1 Week in Sept. 1677 in ye 67th year of her age."

In   regard to his son Thomas, the records give some light.  He was Freeman, Newport, R. I., 1656.  On a jury at Newport, 1671. Named with forty-seven others who took grant of 5,000 acres to be called East Greenwich, 1677.  He was Sergeant at East Greenwich, 1678, and Deputy from that town 1678, and also 1681.  He was at Newport again, 1681, when he was Constable there, and three years later he went to Cold Spring, Penn., and established a Baptist church, of which be was the first pastor1 and he died at that place four years later, in 1688.

In Morgan Edwards' History of the Baptists in Pennsylvania, is found the following reference to him:  "In 1684, Thomas Dungan removed from Rhode Island and settled at a place called Cold Spring, Buck's Co., between Bristol and Trenton."  After alluding to the church having broken up in 1702 (an old graveyard alone marking its site in 1770 when Ed wards wrote), he further  says of Mr. Dungan: "The Rev. Thomas Dungan, the 1^st Baptist minister in the Province, now (1770) exists in a progeny of between 600 and 700."  Mr. Edwards also names the children of Thomas Dungan as follows: 1. William, who he says married  a Wing of R. I., and had five children.  2. Clement, no issue.  8. Thomas, married a Drake, nine children.  4. Jeremiah, married a Drake, eight children.  5. Elizabeth, married a West, four children.  6. Mary, married a Richards, three children, 7. John, no issue.  8. Rebecca, married a Doyle, three children.  9. Sarah, married a Kerrel, six children.  If it be not wandering too far from the subject of this sketch,, to follow still farther this biography of his son, an allusion that Edwards makes to the baptism of Elias Keach will perhaps possess interest to some.  Thomas Dungan baptized Elias, son of the famous Benjamin Keach of London, in 1686.  The history of Elias Keach, in brief, is as follows:  He was a wild youth, and arriving in America in 1686, be landed, dressed in black, and wearing a band, etc., sought to pass himself off for a minister.  His project succeeded, and many people flocked tohear the young l,,ondon divine.  He performed his part well, until quite advanced in his sermon, then stopped short and looked like a man astonished.  The audience thought him seized with a sudden ilbness, but upon being "asked what the trouble was, he confessed with tears and much trembling, the imposture.  He was in great distress; but it all ended well, we are told, for be dated his conversion from that time.  He heard of Mr. Dungan and repaired to him for counsel and comfort, and by him was baptized and ordained.  Mr. Keach  went from Cold Spring to Pennepek (or Lower Dublin) and was the first minister of the church there.  Subsequently, he travelled through Pennsylvania and New Jersey, preaching the gospel in the wilderness with great success.  He was considered the chief apostle of the Baptists in that part of the country. He and his family embarked for England in 1692, and he became a most successful minister in London.
