Rhode Island
Gleanings from Newport Court Files 1659-1783 by Jane
Fletcher Fiske, Boxford, MA 1998
The records which form the basis for this book have had a
long and not uneventful journey from the eighteenth century
to the present. Written on tiny scraps of paper to ledger paper
with quill pens, these notes were folded into packets, and
spent two centuries or more in the dusty vaults of the Newport
Court House before they were gathered up and brought to the
basement of the Veteran’s Auditorium in Providence, there
joining records from the other county courts. After some
years there in scattered confusion, they were deposited in the
Providence College Archives and then they were moved to an
attic of the Superior Court Building in Providence. (609
