Notes for Roger Mowry:
[Brøderbund WFT Vol. 1, Ed. 1, Tree #3972, Date of Import: 2 Jul 1999]

From 'The Descendants of John Mowry of Rhode Island' by William A. Mowry,
Ph. D., LL. D.
[Brøderbund WFT Vol. 3, Ed. 1, Tree #6004, Date of Import: 2 Jul 1999]

Roger Mowry registered in Boston, Massachusetts, after his arrival from England, May 18, 1631. He lived in Plymouth for several years, and later in Salem from about 1635 to 1649. He then moved to Providence, Rhode Island, where he resided until his death, January 5, 1666.
The earliest mention of Roger Mowry in this country is found in the Boston records, as follows:
"Eighteen May, 1631, names of such as desire to be made freemen, [among them] Roger Mawry, Roger Williams." Neither of these two Rogers remained in Boston to accept the duties and privileges of "freemen" in that colony. But, soon after, we find them both citizens of Plymouth, later both became citizens of Salem, and finally they lived side by side in Providence. Roger Mowry was in Salem from 1636 to 1649. He and his wife Mary were members of the church at Salem. The Suffolk records (vol. iii., p. 374) show that his wife was "the eldest daughter of John Johnson, late of Roxbury." In 1637 "he had fifty acres laid out" to him two miles or more from the settlement at Salem toward what was afterwards known as Salem Village. He built his house on the lot which is now the corner of Essex and Flint Streets, adjoining the Bowditch School. Indeed this house lot ran from what is now Essex Street northward to the river and included the land upon which now stand the Bowditch School and the Catholic Church.
The records of the church in Salem show that his oldest son, Jonathan, was batpized April 2, 1637, and other children as follows: Bethia, 1638, June 17; Mary, 1640, June 16; Elizabeth, 1643, January 20; Benjamin, 1649, May 20; between Elizabeth and Benjamin were four other children as given on the north side of the monument [family monument in Providence, R. I.] and no record is found of their baptism. In August, 1658, in open Town Meeting, at Providence, Roger Mowry testified that his three youngest children, Benjamin, Thomas and Hannah, were born in Providence. It is supposed that the Salem pastor, when on a visit in 1649 to the members of his church then residing in Providence, found the infant Benjamin, baptized him there and entered the record upon the
Salem Church book on his return home. The original records of that period of the Salem Church have been lost, although some of them were copied and kept in a later book which has been preserved. The above facts are gleaned from that book.
Roger Mowry was admitted freeman in Providence in 1655. He built a house about 1653, a portion of which is now [1898] standing, newer parts having been built to it from time to time during these intervening centuries. This house is on Abbott Street, near North Main Street, not far from the North burial ground. It has been known for many years as the oldest house in the city, and has been called the Olney House.
Professor Isham of Brown University has lately proven by real estate records that this house was built by Roger Mowry as mentioned above. For a series of years he kept a "tavern" in the town of Providence. About the same time Richard Pray was licensed to keep a public house also. It would seem that the liberty-loving people of the town were accustomed to frequent the house kept by Mowry.
A story is told of a Massachusetts constable who had arrested a man at Pawtuxet and was carrying him to Massachusetts. He stopped with his prisoner over night at Pray's Tavern. During the evening some citizens of the town gathered at Mowry's Tavern, discussed the matter, decided that a Massachusetts constable had no right to arrest a man in their colony and carry him to the Bay Colony. They, therefore, suddenly summoned a meeting of the town council at Mowry's Tavern. The members of the council soon gathered and sent a messenger to the Massachusetts officer demanding by what authority he held his prisoner. Some controversy ensued between the parties, but the result was that the officer did not carry his prisoner to Boston but he was released.
Roger's son Thomas, who was born in Providence in 1652, settled in Roxbury, where in 1673 he married Susanna Newell. This Thomas had a daughter Abigail born in 1681. In Roxbury one of the leading families in that early time was the Harris family. Robert Harris was one of the first settlers there and his son Timothy was born in 1650, and did not marry until he was nearly forty-seven years old. When he was about thirty years of age, one day he rapped at the door of neighbor Mowry (Thomas), and as no one answered the summons he pulled the latch string and walked in. Mrs. Mowry being out at the time had left her babe Abigail asleep in the cradle. The noise of Timothy's entering awakened the child, who immediately began to cry. While Timothy was trying to pacify the little one, Mrs. Mowry came in and, amused at the old bachelor's attention to her babe, lifted up her hands and exclaimed: "Good heart, old bachelor, I have some hopes of you yet." Looking up at her, Timothy immediately replied: "And well you may, good wife, for I propose to wait for this damsel until she be grown and ask her for my wife."
He kept his promise and on the second of April, 1697, Timothy Harris, then in his forty-seventh year, was married to Abigail Mowry, who was at that time sixteen years and three days old. They had four children and Timothy lived to be eighty years of age and his wife died in her eighty-seventh year.
The descendants of Roger Mowry are scattered in large numbers all over the country. His two sons Nathaniel and John were among the early settlers of northern Rhode Island and at one time they were half owners with three other partners, Edward Inman, Thomas Wallin and John Steer, of 3500 acres of land, running from the Blackstone river near Pawtucket westward to the Connecticut line and including the vicinity of what is now the city of Woonsocket.
Most of the facts in this brief article have never before been brought together, but are culled from reliable sources after much research.
