Read, whereupon it is Ordered that the same he Received and Printed. City Clerk. REPORT. T~ .he Honorable the City Council of the City of Providence : Gentlemen : The Record Commissioners hereby submit a further report upon the work committed to their charge : The Providence Town Papers consist of various papers and documents relating to the affairs of the Town of Providence embracing the period between 1639 and June, 1832, at which latter date the town was succeeded by the city of Providence and ceased to exist. The larger part of them are in the immedi- ate possession of the city, although a comparatively few are in the charge of the Rhode Island Historical Society, where they were deposited by vote of the City Council, passed March 10, 1845. All have been, or are being, repaired, divided into series, each series being arranged in chronological order, so far as prac- ticable, and mounted in books specially made for the purpose, each paper having been stamped as the property of the city and numbered. The bulk of the material in the immediate custody of the city, as contradistinguished from the papers placed in the custody of the Historical Society, and which the Commissioners have brought into an orderly arrangement, was found in cupboards in the store room of the City Hall, where they were depos- CITY DOCUMENT.

The first series comprises all the papers culled from that mass bearing date prior to 1800, together with various other papers of that period which have been donated since the organization of the Record Com- mission ; for happily the interest aroused by the cre- ation of a commission for the preservation and arrangement of the town papers, has incited owners of valuable old documents to present them to the city, and thus rich accessions have been made to the city's manuscript possessions. The city is indebted to Miss Ann Elizabeth Arnold, of Pawtuxet, for 17 papers which once belonged to the early representatives of the Arnold family ; to Mr. Howard Redwood Guild for 365 doc- uments formerly in the possession of the Brown and Humphrey families ; to Mr. William Henry Fenner for 1,082 papers and documents once belonging to Arthur and Thomas Fenner, both prominent officials in the early days of the town ; and to his Honor Mayor Olney for 19 papers relating to his ances- tors and to other members of his family. A strict chronological order has been somewhat inter- fered with by the desire to keep donations together; and each donated paper, in addition to being stamped as the property of the city, has also been marked with the name of the donor. The first series contains 17,727 documents, arranged in 42 volumes as follows : Vol. 1. 1642 to July 1761 . . Vol. 2. July 1761 to Oct. 1775 Vol. 3.

In separating these town documents from the manuscripts belonging to the Historical Society, with which they had become mixed when arranged and mounted by that Society many years ago, it became necessary, in order to hold the Society harm- less, to repair, arrange and mount 2,076 of its papers. This work was done pursuant to a joint resolution of the City Council No. 715, approved Dec. 8, 1893, and these repaired and rearranged papers, neatly bound in nine volumes, marked Rhode Island His- torical Society Manuscripts, have been returned to the Society. The third series contains the papers included within the period from 1800 to June 1832, when the town became a city, and consists of 63,576 papers and will occupy about one hundred volumes, begin- ning with volume 40 of the manuscript volumes in the immediate possession of the city.

Peirce has lately deposited with the city a valuable collection of papers of the Warner family, which collection numbers 1,921 documents and contains many which throw much light on our early history, and particularly upon the relations existing between Providence and Warwick. The arrangement of these Warner papers will at once engage the attention of the Commissioners. So brittle was the condition of many of these old manuscripts when they came to the hands of the Commissioners that the least handling caused them to break to pieces, hence the most careful repairing was absolutely necessary for their preservation, and especially was this true as to whole pages of the Third Book of the Town Records. The result of this work of reparation may be seen, although imper- fectly, by the plates which accompany this report, which convey some idea of the nature of the docu- ments to which the Commissioners have directed V 4 is 5 ^ « 1 ^i\Fl^C\^ s ~ v * 1895.] EARLY TOWN RECORDS. H their attention. The first plate represents one page of a paper found among the mass of documents in the City Hall store room, previously mentioned, and now among the files of the Municipal Court, and is a part of the only paper in the immediate custody of the city which attests the fact that Roger Williams was once the Town Clerk. The second plate represents a part of paper No. 16,627, which is a memorandum in the handwriting of Daniel Abbott, who was town clerk from 1677 to 1681, and relates to certain questions as to land titles. It begins as follows : "Memorand: — Some short necessary intemations (for plea) against y e Wesquadnadians As followeth "ffirst That M r Williams y e Agent for y e Towne of providence & procur r of y e plantation thereof: had seaverall Treaties w th y e cheife Sachims in y e yeare 1634. & in 35 : And in y e end obtained ye same : " 2.1y. And in y e yeare 1637. became a Towne incorporated Agust ye 20 th : — " In the transcript made in 1800, under the author- ity of the town, of the first three books of the town, at the head of the first page and directly preceding the copy of the Compact of Providence (see Early Records of the Town of Providence, vol. 1, p. 1) is written the date "August the 20th, 1637," in the same handwriting in which the transcript is made. Opposite and to the left of this date is written, apparently at a different time, as follows : — " N. B. this date is on the Left hand page of the following." This date does not appear in the original book, as it now is, and, therefore, was not printed in the 12 CITY DOCUMENT. No. 23. volume prepared by the Commissioners. This tran- script of 1800, according to the inscription on the book, was " Transcribed by Order of the Town of Providence under the Inspection of a Committee and by them compared." Comparing these two entries the Commissioners think it may be concluded that the Compact of Prov- idence now appearing on the first page of the First Book of the Town of Providence is the first written compact or act of incorporation of the town, and that it was signed on the 20th of August, 1637. This marks the date at least of the formal foundation of Providence, a date hitherto uncertain. It is from papers in such condition as these that the Commissioners have been able to fill the hiatus existing in the records in the possession of the town for the period between 1676 and 1677. The papers being thus repaired and compactly arranged in volumes it became an important ques- tion how to render them available for reference. It was determined to prepare a comprehensive index which would afford to investigators information of the character of the papers and the place where they could be found. This task of indexing was dele- gated to Welcome Arnold Greene, Esq., of this city, whose familiarity with the history of the town and state had equipped him with the peculiar qualifica- tions required for such work. He has indexed the papers in the first series up to the end of the year 1790, and the result of his labors will be found in the index accompanying this report. A manuscript index of the names of persons and 1895.] EARLY TOWN RECORDS. 13 places mentioned in the papers included in this printed index has been made by Amelia E. Carpen- ter, and comprises upwards of 200 closely written pages. She has also indexed all the names appear- ing in the volumes of the Providence Town Papers in the keeping of the Rhode Island Historical Soci- ety, making 100 closely written pages. In the prosecution of the work on the Providence Town Papers the Commissioners have employed four assistants. The work of arranging the papers and inserting them in books has been done mostly by A. Josephine Torrey. The work of repairing and preparing for mounting has been performed by Susie F. Rathbun and Elizabeth E. Hunt, while the indexing of names has been done, as previously stated, by Amelia E. Carpenter. A part of the time of one assistant, Mabel G. Cole, has been given to arranging the papers preparatory to mounting. In addition to the papers which the Commissioners have brought together from the mass which came into their custody, they have put in order a number of loose and unbound pages of miscellaneous rec- ords which have not heretofore received the atten- tion which their value would justify. These have all been substantially but cheaply bound and put in a good state for preservation, and perhaps they can be described in no better way than by the follow- ing schedule : Town Meeting Minutes, from April, 1800, to August, 1808. 14 CITY DOCUMENT.

These were originally a part of the records of land evidence, and while they are of no value as affecting titles to real property, they are of conse- quence in identifying property and its ownership at certain periods. These volumes, eight in number, the Commissioners have caused to be bound for preservation and to be indexed; and have printed that index following the index to the Providence Town Papers.

On the 20th day of November, 1893, the Commis- sioners addressed a letter to J. Herbert Shedd, City Engineer, requesting that these plats be copied, as many, if not all, were of great value in determining the original lines and layout of streets, many of them now in the compact part of the city. Pursuant to this request, Mr. Shedd assigned the work of copying to William G. Brennen, Assistant Engineer, and most careful copies have been made, which have been bound up in volumes entitled, Plats of Streets and Highways in the Town of Provi- dence, Numbers 1 and 2. The originals have been repaired and mounted in volumes entitled, Plats of Streets and Highways in the Town of Providence, Reports on Streets and Highways in the Town of Providence ; and references have been made on the copies to the places where the originals may be found. These when finally completed will be placed in the custody of the City Clerk. An index of these plats has been prepared by Mr. Brennen, under the direction of City Engineer Shedd and follows the index to the Paper-Money Bank Mortgages with this report.

In this work the Commissioners have employed two assistants, Cora B. Jewett and Mabel G. Cole, the former having been engaged in the work of transcribing the ancient records, while the latter has served as proofreader and general assistant. The first three books of records of the town have been reproduced in type and their contents are therefore preserved for all time against any calamity against which human foresight can guard. These three books make five printed volumes. Before this point had been reached, a careful examination of the records was made and the Com- missioners decided that it was desirable that the suc- ceeding books should follow as perfect a chronological order as the condition of the records would permit. The records from 1676 to 1692 were in such condi- tion that parts of this period could only be covered by the examination of many hundred manuscripts, involving much labor. In order that no time might be wasted while this work was in progress, the Commissioners decided to commence the printing of the first Will Book, as it is now generally called, but which was originally known as the first book for the Town Council's particular use. This volume had been copied some years ago and the copy thus made was used for the purpose of printing, thereby saving expense. Another reason why it was desirable to print this book at this time was that it was the earliest book of the Town Council Proceedings and covers in date a part of the proceedings of the Town Council dur- 1895.] EARLY TOWN RECORDS. 17 ing the very time of which the Commissioners were endeavoring to perfect a record. The first Will Book having been printed, in vol- umes six and seven of the Early Records, the Com- missioners then proceeded to collect the material for the Town Meeting records from the year 1676. This material is made up from the Town Meeting record book which, by some misarrangement, made many years ago, when the books of record were bound, was numbered 3, but which, in order of chronology, fol- lows the books in the custody of the Recorder of Deeds (which have been printed) and precedes the volumes now marked Vol. 1 of the Town Council and Town Meeting records. The manuscript for the period from 1676 to 1692 has been prepared and the first volume thereof is in the hands of the printer. HORATIO ROGERS, G. M. CARPENTER, EDWARD FIELD, Record Commissioners. Providence, April 22, 1895. INTRODUCTION INDEX Introduction to the Index, It is deemed advisable to present in this place a general statement of the character and method of the work whose results are here printed, as well as various particular statements as to titles, sub-titles and other entries. These particular statements are placed here, rather than in foot- notes, mainly for typographical reasons. They are intended to be only interpretative of the words used in the index, whether those be the words of the original documents or of the indexer. If statements of construc- tion or of correlative fact be therein found, they have been inserted because they are deemed necessary to a clear interpretation. In the work here presented there are references to about seven thousand and fifty documents. Many of these documents are of a composite order, embracing matters so differing from each other that separate references for each one are required. It is estimated that there are over ten thou- sand references in this work. When the Commissioners first began to gather and preserve these papers, it became evident that an index was needed. They had, at first, intended to place all the papers in, as nearly as could be determined, a chronological order so that the serial numbers would serve as a clue to the dates. After they had placed some fourteen thousand papers in this way, carrying the dates up into the present century, a collection came to light, comprising nearly a thousand papers and of dates between 1743 and later than 1S00. By the time these papers were properly mounted and numbered, another lot was received, the earliest date of which is in 1698; and before these were properly arranged another lot was found, the earliest one of which was dated in 1644. Hence it comes that in this volume, which covers only the period to 1790, we have this result : Serial Number 1 bears date in 1642 " " 14004 bears date in 1744. " " 14976 " " " 1698. " " 16611 " " " 1642. It may be noted, also, that since the preparation of the manuscript for this index was begun, there have come to the Commission some thou- sands of papers all bearing on the first century of the existence of Provi- [3] dence. All these, as a matter of necessity, had to be left to await a second volume of the index which will probably be required to cover the papers up to the date of 1790. After much consideration they devised the plan of giving the year date, which they have printed in a different type from the serial number (which it always precedes;) and where a number of similar documents are all in one and the same year the year date is given first and all num- bers following it, whether on that line or following lines, are serial numbers of papers dated in that year until the next year date is reached. It was at first intended simply to classify the papers by titles as "Acts," "Bills," "Certificates," etc.; but this was soon found to be impracticable and insufficient. In the matter of bills, for instance, there are thousands of bills bearing on every subject in which the town or the townsmen were interested; and to put them all into one class, even if alphabetically arranged, would only tend to the hopeless confusion of the seeker after information. It was useless to try to simplify the matter by attempting to make a distinction between " public " and " private " bills, — for, prior to the close of the Revolution, the great majority of the bills against the town were made out against the town officers, apparently as individuals; and it often requires a close scrutiny of the contents of a bill, and of the mode of payment as well, to determine whether the bill is against the individual or the town; and it can scarcely be said to be a rarity to find bills in Avhich some items are against the town and some against the person who filled the town's office. Another reason for not classing all bills under the title of that name is that nearly all of the public bills are in connection with matters which themselves require a titular distinction in the index as Bridges, Fire Apparatus, Highways, etc. ; and if other matters than bills connected with or referring to Bridges, etc., are entered under that or those titles it would seem as if the bills also should be so entered ; while if the bills are entered under both titles it would lead to an useless duplication of entries. It is true that many of these bills refer to matters affecting several of these, what may be called, natural titles; as, for instance, we find items referring to Bridges, Highways and Fortifications, all in one bill ; but this fact only shows more plainly the necessity of arranging the references by a classification based on the subject matter. These remarks in regard to bills apply equally to Certificates, Letters, Orders, Petitions, Warrants, etc. ; in fact to all of what would be consid- ered purely titular headings. In carrying out their plan the Commissioners have striven to make the titles and sub-titles and further sub-divisions of the index go as far as possible in the description of the subject matter of the papers. The features which the papers possess in common have been incorporated as succinctly as possible into such titles, leaving the actual reference in thousands of cases to be simply the serial number; and when more than that is given it is simply the differentia distinguishing it from others of its class, and making it, in so far sui generis ; which individualiza- tion is expressed in the briefest manner. [4] There are many cases where the system of this index and of a titular index concur. To prevent confusion arising from this source, the Com- missioners have introduced a series of cross references, in each case where it is applicable, showing where other papers of the same nominal title are to be found. The most general feature of the arrangement is its alphabetical order. A list of titles given in that order is hereto annexed and serves as a con- tents of the index. All sub-titles of any given title are placed in like order. When a sub-title becomes the subject of a further division, the numbers of that division are placed in alphabetical order, and so with further sub-divisions so far as they may be carried. If the occasion for it exists, a chronological classification is introduced, leaving the ultimate result to be the distinction of the serial numbers. This may be well illustrated in the case of Neal McNeal. He was a pauper, receiving aid from the town, hence his case comes under the title of Poor. Most of the aid he received was in the form of orders of Overseer of the Poor on the Town Treasurer. " Order of Overseer of Poor on the Town Treas- urer in favor of" is one of the sub-titles under Poor, and is found in its alphabetical order. But many other persons besides Neal McNeal were the beneficiaries of such orders; they therefore form the subject of a further division or a sub-sub-title. The names of these persons are placed in alphabetical order, and, in its proper place among those is Neal McNeal. Orders in favor of Neal McNeal are further classified according to the persons to whom payable, those payable to him being placed first and those payable to others following in alphabetical order. To show the general plan of the system, there is here given a diagram- matic abstract from the most complicated and, at the same time, one of the most interesting titles, viz. : Revolution. Under this head it has been intended to index every document bearing on the revolutionary struggle. Title. Sub-title. Division. Sub-division. Individualization. Sub-individualization.

In classifying these bills, the principal item is chosen. Bridge — The rule followed is, where a paper is known to refer to a par- ticular bridge, to class it under the name of that bridge; where it is uncertain what bridge is referred to, the paper is placed in the general list. Case of Town of Providence vs. Martha Howell. This is a lot of papers all bearing on one case, recently come to light and all classed together, though of widely different dates and characters. [8] Highway bills where locality is given. — The names of localities, streets, etc., hero given, are those used in the hills and often differ from the places to which the same names are given at the present time. Note — The year date given with the notes is sometimes that of pay- ment, and not the date of the note. Note — Public. These notes were all given, unless otherwise specified, by the town treasurer. Some state the purpose for which they were given, some do not. In addition there was a distinction between cur- rent money notes, continental currency notes, hard money notes, gold notes, gold and silver notes, and silver notes, or notes payable in those respective kinds of currency, though sometimes all these differ- ent kinds of notes would be issued under the same resolution or for the same purpose. These differences are indicated by ist. Making a class of simple notes in which there was no special feature to be noted. 2d. Classifying the notes as far as possible according to the objects for which issued in alphabetical order and 3d. Placing in this alphabetical arrangement under the head of resolutions the notes that can only be classified by reference to the resolutions authorizing them in chronological order of the dates of the resolutions ; the notes themselves being ranged in alphabetical order of the names of payees. 4th. After the name of the payer is the indication of the money of payment, If unspecified in the note it is left blank ; if "gold," "gold or silver" or "gold and silver" it is rep- resented by a G, if " hard money " by an H, if " silver money" or " Spanish milled silver dollars " by an S, and if " Continental currency " by a C. Order drawn on James Arnold — Many of these may have been drawn upon him as town treasurer, but where it is impossible to determine positively that they were such they are entered as private matters. Poor — Order of overseer on town treasurer for relief of Daniel Box. He was a Continental invalid^ which title see. Poor — Order of overseer on town treasurer, in favor of Michael McFow- ley. See also orders in favor of Fowley above. Poor — Order of overseer on town treasurer in favor of Deborah Olney. See sub-title rent post. Poor — Order of overseer on town treasurer in favor of Sigbee Richmond, a black invalid state soldier. Poor — Order of overseer on town treasurer in favor of John Skirms, an old state soldier. Poor — Order of overseer on town treasurer in favor of Mrs. Bridget Smith. See sub-title rent post. Poor — Reports of overseer of poor. Many of the accounts noted hereto- fore as " bills general" are in the nature of reports. Poor — Work House, care of poor in. Many items in regard to poor in work house form parts of the bills indexed under title of "Town Sergeant." L.9] Revolution — Expedition to Rhode Island. These papers apparently refer to service other than that in the hattle of Rhode Island and the expe- dition leading thereto. School House — Some of these papers probably refer to the Brick School House, which see post. Small fox, general — The papers in regard to small pox are divided under four titles : ist. Those relating to small pox generally, viz.: with no spe- cial feature of distinguishment. 2d. Those relating to small pox hospital generally, viz. : where no location is given. 3d. Those relating to small pox hospital at North Providence and 4th. Those relating to small pox hospital at Tockwotten. Evidently many papers classed under the second title refer to the third or fourth, but as it is impossible to tell which of the two is referred to in them, they are classed as found. Tax — Assessment, bill for, of Nathan Wheaton. Perhaps this name should be Nathaniel. Tax — Order of town treasurer on tax collector out of tax collecting, for paving notes taken up in favor of Zephaniah Andrews (3756) was for pavement around the market house. Order to Nicholas Brown, in the same series (3793) was for paving the market parade. Test act — List of inhabitants of Providence who signed and list of inhabitants of Providence who did not sign. These two lists are not originals but copies, which the copyist states to be correct and that the originals were at the time of copying in the town clerk's office. Town Sergeant — Bill of against town for services. The nature of the services for which these bills are rendered is so varied that no attempt is made to classify them thereby. Totvn Treasurer — Receipt of, for endorsements on town treasurer's notes. The payments were in paper money, the endorsements are in hard or silver money at appropriate rates.

devices whereby bills of credit were issued by the treasury and were loaned out at interest to the people on mortgage security for a term of years. They were issued to enlarge the circulating medium and on various pretexts ; for example, to supply the loss occasioned by the expenses of the wars, to repair fortifica- tions, to promote the fisheries and the raising of flax and wool, to repair the colony house, to build a light-house and finally to supply the place of former issues which had been brought in and cancelled. The outstanding bills rapidly depreciated in exchangeable value and finally became worthless. There were ten banks issued, as follows : the first in 1715, £40,000, the second in 1721, £40,000, the third in 172S, £40,000, the fourth in 173 1 , £60,000, the fifth in 1733, £104,000, the sixth in 1738, £100,000, the seventh in 1740, £20,000, the eighth in 1743-4, £40,000, the ninth in 1750, £25,000, the tenth in 17S6, £100,000; amounting in the whole to £569,000. The mortgages remained nominally in force, but all attempts to fore- close them were abandoned by general consent, and they are not re- garded in the examination of land titles. They were recorded in the office of the town clerk, and among the books of the city of Providence are now remaining records of the first, second, fourth, fifth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth banks. The following is an index of the mortgagors, showing the dates on which said mortgages were issued and the book and page where the record of such mortgage may be found : Abbott Daniel and Jahleel Brenton et al George Goulding et al Jonathan Nichols et al John Wanton el al BOOK . p.

With a few exceptions they bear date previous to 1800. During the years which they have been constantly referred to many of them have become worn and mutilated ; they have therefore been repaired, arranged in chronological order and mounted in a volume entitled " Original Plats of Streets, Highways and Lands in the Town of Providence." Carefully made copies of them have been pre- pared under the direction of the City Engineer, and these copies have been bound in two volumes entitled " Plats of Streets and Highways in the Town of Providence." These two volumes together with the volume of the originals have been deposited in the office of the City Clerk in the City Hall. The references in this index are made to these volumes of copies. The titles of the index show the various names by which the streets, highways or lands have at different times been designated, all of which appear in their alphabetical order. o en < »— ( oo £-< w w cc H 00 Cu o OQ E- <3 •-J O-i o X! « N m i-i ro rt- lo t~ O VO "*- O N N l^Nn M _ _, _, mm cn m ri n m m MNtNMMfiNCNr»rjNCNNNc~»M mm m ri m m m n CU «o _ T3 co d re C s<: -a 3 ■ c o CO 4-1 i .2 cu be c o ££ 0) P* c C D 3 C +j CU aj ■ j > 4) a) « £ , £ c » : £ o -m .
