    The youngest brother, Ichabod Scheffield, whose family is the subject of theis paper, settled in Portsmouth, RI.
    1. "Mr." Ichabod Scheffield, of Portsmouth, RI, baptized at St. Peter's Church, Sudbury, co. Suffolk, England, on 23 Dec. 1630, son of Edmund and Thamas=zin Sheffield, died in Newport, RI, 4 Feb. 1711/12 "in his 87th. year" (sic.),. He married in Portsmouth, in 1660, Mary Parker, daughter of George Parker of that town (cf, The Register, op.cit.; Austin's Gen. Dic. of RI, p. 175; Arnold's Vital Rec. of Rhode Island, vol. 4, p. 39).
    On 10 July 1648 he was received in Portsmouth as a Freeman and was on a committee "for the tryall of the General Officers" (Portsmouth Town Records, pp. 37-38). At this time he was actually 18 years old, lacking five months. He appears on the Roll of Rhode Island Freeman in 1655 as of Portsmouth, where his name is incorrectly printed as "Fred: Sheffield" (Rhode Island Colonial Records, ed. Bartlett, vol. I, p. 300). In 1658 he was in Cocheco, NH, with his brother William, and was taxed there that year soon returned to Portsmouth.
(Portsmouth Town Rec., op. cit., p. 133). On 3 June 1672 he was chosen Constable (ibid., p. 169). On 12:10mo.;1684 he was on a town committee regarding the town's title to its land (ibid., p. 225). This appears to have been concerned with the threatened annulment of the Colony's Charter by the Home Government. On 9 April 1686 he was on a committee to divide the town's common lands (ibid., p. 232). On 7:4mo.:1686 he was chosen a member of the Portsmouth Town Coun cil (ibid., p. 233) and on 12 Feb. 1689/90 he was elected the Deputy from Portsmouth to the Colonial Assembly to be held at Newport (ibid., p. 241; Rhode Island Colonial Records, vol. III, p. 260); on 2:4mo.:1690 he was again chosen a member of the Town Council (Portsmouth Town Records, p. 242). On 22:6:1690 he was again Deputy from Portsmouth to the General Assembly in Providence (ibid., p. 243). His ear mark was recorded in November 1667; on 5 March 1685/6 it was transferred to his son Joseph (ibid., pp. 272, 295). His land lay in the central part of Portsmouth, midway between the Middle and West Roads and considerably south of the present Meeting House Land (West's "Original Land Grants of Portsmouth", Section E). On 26 Sept.
1681 he purchased a tract of land on the west side of the Taunton River from James Leonard, Sr., of Taunton (Rhode Island Colony Deeds). This tract lay, apparently, in what is now the town of Dighton, Mass.
    Later in life he appears to have removed to the home of his son, Major Nathaniel Sheffield, in Newport, where he died. He is buried beside his son, Major Nathaniel, in the Clifton Burying Ground in the town (gravestone). Children, born in Portsmouth:
Joseph, Mary, Nathaniel, Ichabod, Amos.

THE DESCENDENTS OF RICHARD-4 CARD IN KINGS COUNTY NOW HANTS COUNTY, NOVA SCOTIA, CANADA, BY THOMAS A. CARD, M.D., 1973 IN THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF NEWPORT LIBRARY, 8/5/97. PAGE 1.
    Richard-1 Card represents the first Card in America. Historical Society Records, Newport, RI records Richard Card of Newport, RI probably came from the South West of England, Devon or Dorset, where the name is found. (Another record has his name on the manifest of the ship "Elizabeth and Ann" which sailed from Devon, England May 6, 1635 for the New World). Richard-1 b. 1618, d. before July 1, 1674. He married Rebecca... b. ca 1620, d. between 1674-92, prob. Newport, RI. After the death of Richard-1, Rebecca remarried to George Hassell. Rebecca's father and mother not of record. There only a few scattered items of Richard-1 owing to destruction of records by a disastrous fire in Newport, RI.
    The first record found was Aug. 29, 1653 when he appears as a juryman on the famous case of Kempo Sybada and Edward Hull (Essex Court File Vol. 1 p. 3).
In 1655 he was on the roll of Freeman of Newport RI, and in 1656 his name appears amoung the original grantees of Canonat Island, (Jamestown, RI). In June 1658, his name was again on a jury.

GENEALOGIES OF R.I.FAMILIES, VOL. I, III THE CARD FAMILY, page 103.
    The Card family of Black Island, although its connection with the Island was slight, left many descendants in the female lines among the Island families; and the account of this family given by Austin is so erroneous and misleading that a new genealogy of the early generations seem due.
    1. Richard Card, of Newport, RI, probably came from southwest of England, from Devon or Dorset, where the name is found. He was at Newport as early as 1653, and died before 1 July 1674, when Joseph Card was granted land next to that of Job Card, then in the possession of his mother. He married Rebecca ___, who married again, prior to 20 Nov. 1692, George Hassell of Newport and Westerly, RI.* (*This George Hassell was in Newport prior to 25 July 1683, when land formerly granted to him is mentioned (Newport Town Meeting, book 1, p. 7). He aubsequently appears in the Westerly records. He may be identical with the George Hassell of Boston in 1664, whose wife Joan divorced him for his unseemly conduct with their maidservant (Suffolk Supreme Judicial Court Files, no. 413).
    There are only a few scattered items concerning Richard Card, owing to the total distruction of the Newport records for the period in which he lived. The first mention found of him is on 29 Aug. 1653, when he appears as a juryman, in the famous case of Kempo Sybada v. Edward Hull (Essex Court Files, vol. 1, p. 314). In 1655 he was on the roll of freeman as of Newport, and in 1656 his name appears among the original grantees of Conanicut Island (Jamestown). In June 1658 he was again on a jury.
Children: Joseph, James, Job. Probably several daughters, whose names are unknown. (Austin gives to Richard Card a son John, but this is an error.
Austin confused a John Garde, who married Martha Brenton, daughter of Gov. William Brenton, with a mythical John Carde. The relationship of this John Garde to John Garde, a Newport merchant from Fayal, who died in 1665 and who had a wife Harte, who died in 1660, has not been asoertained.
  

1173. Rebecca was born about 1620. She died after 1674 in Newport, Newport Co., Rhode Island.

HISTORY OF STONINGTON Ct, by Wheeler, page 532, 533.
    Was first at Watertown MA, then at Sudbury MA, and came to Westerly RI in 1669. He was in the early Colonial wars. He was admitted to the First Church of Stonington, CT, Nov 7, 1680.
    His will is dated Feb. 9, 1702, but does not mention his son James, by the first wife, nor daughters Sarah or Patience by the second wife. They probably died young or without children.

BRIAN PENDLETON AND HIS DESCENDANTS, 1599-1910, Compiled by Everett Hall Pendleton, Privatley Printed MCMX, found in the DAR Library, Washington, DC. Page 1-77.
    Capt. James Pendleton, was born in England about 1627, or 1628, ans indicated by the facts that he was admitted freeman at Watertown, Mass., 10 May 1548, and that on the 26th of July 1672, he testified at Portsmouth, NH, he was forty-four years of age.
    On the 21st of Oct 1650, James Pendleton and Mary, his wife, of Watertown, Mass., sold to George Parkhurst, "Same towne" five or six acres known as "crocked meadow" (Middlesex Co., Mass., Deeds, I, 17). Shortly afterwards he removed to Sudbury, Mass., where he served on a coroner's jury in May, 1654.
    In 1671, James began to dispose of the property he had accumulated at Portsmouth and vicinity, with his wife, Hannah, he sold land and buildings at Portsmouth to Thomas Thatcher.
    On the 25th Jany. 1688, James Pendleton bought of Nathaniel Lynde 1,000 acres on the sea-coast of Westerly, including Watch Hill. He sold a small part of this land and the rest he willed to his sons, Joseph, Edmund, and Caleb.
    His death occurred in Westerly on the 29 Nov, 1709. Like his father he was active in public affairs until the time of his death and like his father too, wherever he went he became at once one of the leading citizens.
    The will of James-2 Pendleton, names wife, Hannah, sons: Joseph, Edmund and Caleb, daughters Ann Borwn, Eleanor Pendleton and Dorothy Pendleton, "children by my present wife, Hannah," and daughters Mary and Hannah "had by my former wife."
    No reference is made by Capt. James Pendleton to his sons, James-3 and Brian-3, named in his father's will in 1677, or to any heirs of these sons, and as no mention of any such has elsewhere appeared, it would seem indisputable that James-3 and Brian-3 died without issue. James-3 had died previous to 1698, but we have nothing to show what became of Brian-3.

  Went to Watertown, Mass., with parents from England. They moved to Sudbury, and he was given 140 acres of land by his father. Moved to Portsmouth, N.H., where he was in business with his father. There he was a selectman, 1663 to 1668; town clerk, 1663 and 1664; one of the commissioners (local magistrates) to determine small actions from 1667 to 1671, and captain of the Portsmouth military company from 1666 until 1674, his last year in Portsmouth. He owned property on the Great Island and continued in business after his father moved to Winter Harbor (Saco), Maine, in 1665.
  He moved to Stonington, Conn., being granted land, and also had some 700
acres of land given him by his father. Those 700 acres are in what is now
Westerly, Rhode Island, but both Connecticut and Rhode Island once claimed
the Westerly area. (The land was given him in trust, with instructions it be
passed on to his children by his second wife.)
  James, a staunch Puritan, favored Connecticut over the more liberal Rhode
Island, but he eventually lost that fight. He continued his business activities and was affluent enough to be referred to as "Esquire" and "Gentleman."
  He was a selectman in both Stonington and Westerly, sold intoxicants,
imported sugar from Barbados and had dealings with tobacco planters in
Maryland. Dealing in liquor was not considered reprehensible in those days, and a man could engage in that business, as well as in politics, and still be a community leader and a pillar of the church.
  About the time he moved to Stonington, the King Philip's War broke out, and Capt. James took part. He also may have participated in the great Narragansett fight. He was awarded land in Voluntown for his services during the war. He also obtained captive Indians whom he sold into slavery.
  Eventually, James obtained more property in Rhode Island, buying 1,000 acres at Watch Hill in Westerly. His Watch Hill home still stands. It is unclear when he moved from Stonington to Westerly.

1178. William POTTS was born about 1655 in New Castle, England. He died before 1729 in Groton, New London Co., Connecticut. William married Rebecca AVERY on 5 Aug 1678 in New London, New London Co., Connecticut.

THE GROTON AVERY CLAN, Vol. I, by Avery & Avery, page 112, 113.
    He was of New Castle, EN, a constable.
    Mr. Potts was one of the Narragansett volunteers and received land in Voluntown for his services. His name appears on the list of freemen in Groton in 1708 and 1711. He was surveyor of highways in 1705. He and his wife were members of the First Church of Groton " at the ordination," Nov. 22, 1727.
    April 24, 1729, Humphrey Avery spoke of William Potts, "late of Groton;" Mr. Potts probably died about this time. According to the Voluntown records, land was confirmed to his heirs in 1730. April 8, 1732, Joshua Bill, jrn., sold land that was his honored father's, William Potts deceased (Groton Deeds, 3:63,64).
    No baptisms are recorded in the First Church of New London from 1684 to 1691. During this period, William and Rebecca Potts undoubtedly had a son Jonathan. This Jonathan m. Mary Geer, Nov. 10, 1713, at Groton. They had Mary, Abigail, Rebecca, William, Joanna, Elizabeth - the last four names are suggestive. Jonathan was living at Smithfield, Penn, in 1742. (Groton Land Records, 2:411)

BABCOCK & ALLIED FAMILIES. p. 87.
    William Potts of New Castle, EN emigrated to New London CT where on Aug 5 1678 he married Rebecca Avery. Their dates of death are not known. They were both living on Sept 19 1717, when four of her brothers "out of Love" deeded land to their sister Rebecca Potts ahd her husband William Potts. The diary of Humphrey Avery on April 24, 1729, refers to William Potts as "late of Groton," so it may be inferred that he was then dead.
    William Potts was a constable. He was one of the "Narragansett Volunteers" (in King Phillip's War), and received land at Voluntown for his services. This land grand was confirmed to his heirs in 1730. He laft New London to settle at Groton, CT where he was made freeman in 1708. He was surveyor of highways in 1705, and both he and his wife were members of the First Church of Groton on Nov. 22, 1727 "at the ordination."

1184. Thomas HEWITT was born 1630 in England. He died 1662 in the sea. Thomas married Hannah PALMER on 26 Apr 1659 in Stonington, New London Co., Connecticut. [Parents]

HISTORY OF STONINGTON CT, by Wheeler, page 418 & 419.
    So far as is known from reliable sources, Thomas Hewitt, who was a seafaring man, was the first person of the Hewitt name that made Stonington his abiding place. The first we know of him is from the diary of Thomas Miner, Sr., who speaks of him as in command of his vessel in Mystic River in the year 1656, where he was receiving the surplus products of the early planters here, in exchange for Boston goods. In his business transactions he made the acquaintance of Walter Palmer, whose daughter, Hannah Palmer, he married April 26, 1659. In order to make Stonington his abode for life he purchased a tract of land on the east side of Mystic River. The land embraced the present site of the Elm Grove Cemetery in Stonington, CT, on which he erected a dwelling house of primitive dimensions, pending which he continued his coastal trade, extending his business to the West Indies. During the year 1662 he purchased a cargo of neat stock, sheep and poultry, designed for the West Indies market, with which he set sail for that place, expecting a pleasant voyage and successful exchange of his cargo for goods in merchandise suitable for the inhabitants of this region round about. Months and years passed, and no glad tidings came of his safe arrival in the West Indies, nor any trace of him anywhere, which forced the conclusion upon his wife and friends, that amid some fearful storm, his vessel had foundered and all on board had found a grave in the cold, dark, heaving sea.

THE DESCENDENTS OF EZEKIEL MAINE, by A. A. Aspinwall, pp. 103.
    Thomas-1 Hewitt was early of Scituate, MA. He was a seafaring man. Captain of a sailing vessel - Removed to Stonington CT, where he married April 26, 1659, Hannah daughter of Walter and Rebecca (Short) Palmer.

DESCENDANTS OF CAPTAIN THOMAS HEWITT OF STONINGTON, CONN., Compiled by Virginia Hewitt Watterson, 1996. Found in the Joseph Smith Library, Salt Lake City, UT. Page 1.
    The ancestry of Thomas Hewitt, a sea captain, has yet to be discovered. He probably came from England or Ireland, and possibly from one of the coastal towns since he took to the sea for his livelihood. The first record of him in the Colonies is from the diary of Thomas Miner, which mentions Thomas Hewitt in 1656 as having command of the ship n the Mystic River. He was a trader taking surplus products from the early Connecticut planters in exchange for goods from Boston. Thomas purchased a tract of land on the east side of the Mystic River, in present day Stonington, Conn., to use as a home base when he was not at sea. There he built a primitive dwelling house. Through his trading transactions, Thomas was aquatinted with the planters in the area. Walter Palmer, one of the wealthy planters, has a daughter who became Thomas Hewitt's wife.
    HANNAH PALMER was born in Charlestown, Mass. in 1634, daughter of Walter Palmer and his 2nd wife, Rebecca Short. The First Church of Charlestown recorded Hannah's baptism on 15 Jun 1634. Walter moved his family to Rehoboth, Mass. and by 1653 had settled in Stonington, Conn. Thomas Hewitt married Hannah Palmer on 26 Apr 1659 a Stonington. (Wheeler).
    Thomas continued his coastal trading business and extended it to include the West Indies. In May 1662, he sailed from Mystic River with a cargo of livestock and poultry, which he purchased to trade for goods in the West Indies. The ship was lost at sea and Thomas was never heard from again. Hannah and their two infant sons waited months and years for his return. It was finally concluded that the ship floundered and sank during a storm. Before the General Court of Conn. in 1670, Hannah presented a petition to allow her, as a widow, the liberty to marry again. She and neighbors testified that not a word had been heard of Captain Thomas Hewitt or his vessel or his company from the time they left eight years before. The court granted Hannah's petition. The following year, on 27 Dec 1671, she married Roger Sterry. Two children were born to them. Roger died sometime prior to 1680 and Hannah married a 3rd time, on 25 Aug 1681, to John Fish as his 3rd wife. Hannah lived in Stonington the rest of her life. No report has been found of her date of death.

1185. Hannah PALMER was christened 15 Jun 1634 in Charlestown, Suffolk Co., Massachusetts. She died after 25 Aug 1681 in Stonington, New London Co., Connecticut. [Parents]

HISTORY OF STONINGTON CT, by Wheeler, page 418 & 419.
    Pending the session of the General Court of Connecticut in 1670, a hearing was had for the consideration of a petition of Mrs Hannah Hewitt, the widow of Thomas Hewitt, for liberty to marry again, setting fortha that she had not heard from her late husband for the space of eight years, and better, and her neighbors also testifying that the said Hewitt had so long been absent and that they had not heard of him, or the vessel or company he went with since their departure. "The court having considered the premises, declare that the said Hannah Hewitt is at liberty to marry again if she see cause."
    So on the 27th day of December 1671, she was united in marriage with Roger Sterry. He d. before 1680; she m. 3d. John Fish Aug. 25, 1681, she being his 3d wife.

WALTER PALMER OF CHARLESTOWN & REHOBOTH, MASS. & STONINGTON, CONN., Compiled, Edited, Typed and Partly researched by Doris Palmer Buys, page 77.
    She was bapt. 15 Jun 1634 in First Church in Charlestown, MA (The First Record-Book  of The First church in Charlestown" page 202 records the baptism of "Hanna Palmer the daughter of Gualter Palmer and of Rebeckah his wife" as reprinted in and issue of NEHGR, Volume 25, page 147, in April of 1871) The first daughter and first four sons of this couple were born during the years they resided together in Charlestown, MA, from June 1633 until 1643.
    Hannah removed with her parents to Rehoboth, MA, in 1643 and thereafter to Stonington CT, in 1653. She married (1st) Thomas Hewitt on 26 Apr 1659 in Stonington; he was lost at sea and on 27 Dec 1671 Hannah married Roger Sterry who died before 1680; she married 3rd John Fish on 25 Aug 1681 as his 3rd wife.

REFERENCES: Genealogy: PG/p.25---Dr. BSP/p. 7-PF/p.16---STER./pp. 4,5 HIST. STON. pp.418, 419.
    Hannah was evidently born early in May or in early June of 1634, based on the fact that she was baptised in the First Church of Charlestown on 4th month 15th day 1634 which according to the time meant 15 Jun 1634. Whe went with her parents to "Antient" Rehoboth and Stonington, where she married her first husband Thomas Hewitt. He established a West India Trade and in the year 1662 started out on a voyage and was never heard from again.
     His widow, Hannah, petitioned the General Court of Connecticut for liberty to re-marry, and this was granted on 27 Dec 1671, and she married her second husband Roger Sterry. There is no record of his death other than that he died previous to 1680, and that she then married for her third husband John Fish on 25 Aug 1681 and in turn was his third wife. There is an interesting ante-nuptial contract among the Stonington records, made at the time of his final marriage to Hannah Palmer. He was at the time the schoolmaster at Stonington and acted temporarily as town clerk. He was a land surveyor, and himself owned considerable grants of land. Both John Fish and his son Samuel, were among the volunteers who joined the esxpedition against King Philip in 1675, and were present at the Great Swamp fight. At his death his son Samuel was his principal heir. Hannah probably resided her entire life in Stonington.
