RHODE ISLAND COURT OF TRIALS 1671-1704
transcribed by Jane Fletcher Fiske, FASG
This is
a literal
transcription of the first half of “Newport Court Book A” which is
actually a record of the Court of Trials for the entire colony of
The murder of Thomas Cornell of Portsmouth in 1672 is
recorded here, and a 1676 court martial of several Indians for specific actions
against colonists in King Philip’s War, as well as many bastardy cases and
other matters. Full lists of Jurors are
included.
This volume extends the coverage of Rhode Island Court
Records in print to 1704, picking up in 1671 where earlier records published by
the Rhode Island Historical Society (in 1920 and 1922) stopped.
An appendix includes twelve pages of Warwick Quarterly
Court records 1659-1674, first published privately in pamphlet form in 1922.
There are two indexes, one for persons (with entries for
jurors distinguished from people named in cases), and a second that covers
places and subjects.
Hardcover; 256 +xiv pages.
