NOTES
1). mytree.FTW Shortly after John married Herodias, Hicks took her to New Engla nd. They settled first at Weymouth, Massachusetts where he was g ranted land in 1637. Shortly thereafter they removed to Newport, Rhode Island where Hicks was admitted an inhabitant since, 01 3 rd mo 1638. On September 14, 1640 he was made a freeman. On 07 1st mos 1644 5 he wasbefore the Court and bound for 10 pound s to keep the peace for beating his wife Harwood Hicks ..... Th is was his last appearance in Rhode Island records. He removed t o New Amsterdam, Flushing on Long Island, where he was an early Patentee. He evidently took the children with him for Hannah was married in Flushing in about 1653 to a William Haviland. Thomas also married and was a land owner in New Amsterdam New York whe n he came of age. On December 12, 1645 Hicks wrote to John Cogge shall of Newport, Rhode Island, blaming Herodias for their marit al troubles. On June 01, 1655 Hicks was granted a divorce from H erodias by the Dutch Court in New Amsterdam.

2). mytree.FTW Herodias long To give an approximate marriage date for Herodia s and George is not quite accurate. Mr G. A. Moriarty in his art icle Herodias Long Hicks Gardiner Porter A Tale of Old Newpo rt written in 1952, reprinted in Genealogies of Rhode Island F amilies published in 1983 recounts Herodias testimony in a pet ition presented to the King s Commissioners in 1664 in which she asked for separation from George Gardiner. In this petition she states that shortly after her father s death, she was sent to L ondon by her mother and there taken on by one John Hicks unkn owne to any of my friends , and there married in the under churc h of St Paul s, called St Faith s Church London Marriage Licens es March 14, 1636 7 . A short time later Hicks brought her to Ne w England when she was between thirteene and fourteene years of age . They lived at Weymouth, Massachusetts for about two and a half years, then moved to Rhode Island in about 1640. Not long after their arrival in Rhode Island they had marital problems se vere enough according to Herodias soe that the authority ... sa w cause to part us, and ordered that I should have the estate wh ich was sent me by my mother, delivered to me by said John Hicks but I never had it but the said John Hicks went away to the Du tch, and carried away with him the most of my estate.... Then I thought to goe to my friends but was hindered by the warres, and the death of my friends. My mother and brother loosing their li ves and estates in his Majestyes service..... in which straight I was drawne to George Gardiner to consent to him .... for my ma yntainance yett ... judging him not to be my husband, never bein g married to him according to the law of the place ..... .The Ge neral Assembly took testimony from George Gardiner and from his old friend Robert Stanton. George admitted that they never had gone before a magistrate for a marriage ceremony. Robert Stanton testified that one evening at his home, in the presence of himself and his wife, George and Herodias had declared themselves to be man and wife. In May 166 5 the Assembly decreed the separation of the parties, finding th eir illicit relationship had earned .... the extreme reproach a nd scandall of this jurisdiction ... .Also in May, 1665 Mrs Mar garet Porter, the elderly wife of John Porter presented a peit ion to the Assembly asking that her husband be made to support h er. In June 1665, Porter agreed to make suitable provision for M argaret for the rest of her life. Shortly thereafter the Porter s were divorced and John married Herodias. The identity of Herod ias parents has yet to be discovered. Someone submitted a Long Family Tree WFT Vol 6 tree 1512 in which they propose a Rober t and Elizabeth Long, both born in England, both died in Massac husetts, as her parents. There are two problems with this pedigr ee. First, they give the generally accepted birth year for Herod ias, 1623, but then they give an approximate marriage date for R obert and Elizabeth of 1633, a full decade later. Second in vi ew of Herodias testimony cited above she was sent to London a fter her father s death IN ENGLAND. Then, after Hicks left her, she couldn t return home because of the warres and My mother and brother loosing their lives ..... in his Majestyes service obviously IN ENGLAND. It seems apparent that both her father and mother died in England, so the Long s who died in Massachusetts could not be the parents of Herodias. Mr Moriarty s article als o mentions the will of a John Aylesford dated January 26, 1638 9 , proved February 23, 1638 9 in which he makes a small bequest t o an Odias Long . This information comes from Somersetshire Wi lls, Brown, 4th Series, p 58 . Perhaps a thorough search of Some rsetshire wills from about 1634 5 to 16367 would reveal the wil l of a Mr Long in which he names his daughter Herodias or Horr id or Harwood or Odias or any other quaint spelling of her name. Until that time, her parents remain another genealogical unsolv ed mystery. Note Source Broderbund WFT Vol. 19 Tree 138. John Porter was a freeman at Roxbury, Massachusetts in 1633. He belonged to the Hutchinson party, a group of dissidents who left Massachusetts due to persecution by the established church. He removed with William Coddington to Portsmouth, Rhode Island in 1 638. He moved to S. Kingstown after January 1656 7. He and his f irst wife Margaret had a daughter, Hannah who married about 1658 Samuel Wilbor, one of the Pettaquamscutt S. Kingstown Purchas ers. Being an early settler, John was evidently owner of quite e xtensive tracts of land.

Kylberg, Librarian of the RI Historical Society, says there are three more volumes of Rhode Island Land Evidences and no one had taken up the work of abstracting the three remaining volumes of manuscripts. It may be that they contain further evi dence of John Porter s generosity to the sons of Herodias and Ge orge Gardiner. Note Source Broderbund WFT Vol. 19 Tree 138.
