• Notes

  !DIED: Will proved 9 Apr. 1779. !NAME-BO !DIED: Will proved 9 Apr. 1779. !NAME-BORN-DIED-MARRIED-PARENTS-SPOUSE: Gerald James Parsons; "The Thomas Place Family of East Greenwich, R.I. Descendants of Mrs. Anne Hutchinson;" THE AMERICAN GENEALOGIST, #149, Jan 1962, v. 38, #1 pp. 44-51; poss. of Barbara Stoddard. !CONFLICT: Thomas married 16 Mar [1720?]. In the "Additions and Corrections" to Austin's Genealogical Dictionary, under Stafford, is found the following: "Margaret, m. 1730, Mar. 16, Thomas Place.." The year of this marriage is not correct, for Sarah (Holden) Stafford in her will dated 5 Jan. 1726/7, mentions her daughter "Margaret Place" [Warwick Wills, 1:218], and Margaret appears as wife of Thomas Place in a deed in North Kingstown dated 7 Mar. 1728/9 [No. kingstown Land Evidences, 6:43]. This marriage record cannot be found in the R.I. vital records, but probably was originally in the North Kingstown records and copied by someone before the first fire in 1869. Arnold made his copy of the vital records after this fire and it will be noted that the last digit of the year of birth of Thomas was burned off, for it appears in Arnold as "Nov 2, 169_." Since the year is given in full in the above record, it seems all the more plausible that Austin obtained this record from someone who had copied the records before the fire. Since 2 & 3 can be easily misread, it is suggested that the marriage may have taken place in 1720. (ibid.) !NAME-MARRIED: 16 Mar 1730 &ltWarwick, Kent, RI> SPOUSE: Marg.
