Hi everyone!
I am stuck trying to find out about Roger ELDERTON. Here is what I know.
According to the Vital Record of Rhode Island, he married Lydia BABCOCK in
Westerly on 20 Sept, 1722. They had 7 children born in Westerly:
Joseph b. 8 JAn, 1723
Roger b. 12 Mar, 1724
Bridget b. 27 March,1726
Mary b. 10 Aprilm 1728
Anna b. 8Nov, 1730 (m. John HAWK 9 Sept, 1751, Westerly)
Sarah b. 8 Jan, 1732
Lydia b 10 Dec, 1736 (m. Oliver BURDICK 9 Oct, 1758, Westerly. Joseph
CRANDALL, JP officiating)
There is also a second Joseph, son of Roger and Lydia listed as being born
10 Jan, 1744/45.
I think he must have died prior to 27 Feb1748/49 Because a probate record
I found in the RIGR for Westerly states that a certificate was fuven from
Westerly to Charlestown for Joseph Elderton, the son and Orohan of Roger
Elderton, late of Westerly Dec.
Can anyone help me out on this one?
Is "ELDERTON" a corruption of ALDERTON? or some other name?
Thanks!
Linnea
