Early Rehoboth


Before proceeding to the study of the Rehoboth 1800 census, the last and final of the eighteenth century enumerations, attention should be called to the seventeenth century population study and to the early taxpayer lists of Rehoboth and nearby towns found in Early Rehoboth, vol. I (1944). These important inhabitant and taxpayer lists are here briefly summarized.


The earliest lists of Seekonk (Rehoboth) inhabitants are the estate list of 58 proprietors made early in 1643 and the list of the 58 proprietors who in the same year drew lots for a division of woodland between the plain and the town. This division was followed by others in 1644, 1645, 1646, and many others through the following years.


In 1653, Ousamequin, Sachem, and his eldest son Wamsitta, sold to Thomas Prince, Capt. Thomas Willett, Capt. Miles Standish, and Josiah Winslow, gentlemen, in behalf of themselves and divers others, land on the southerly side of Seekonk known by the name of Sowams. Three months after Ousamequin had sold this tract of land to the "Gentlemen Purchers", 41 inhabitants of Rehoboth agreed, on 28 June 1653, to have Richard Bowen, Stephen Paine, Thomas Cooper, and William Saben represent them in settling the status of the Rehoboth uplands and meadows lying within the bounds of the new purchase. Sowams was the land Dr. John Clarke wanted to buy in 1637/8 [Ibid., vol. I, p. 30].


Swansea was founded in 1668 by Rehoboth men. The 1668/9 list of 53 men intending to settle in Swansea is important to the Rehoboth records as it shows the shift of inhabitants from Rehoboth to Swansea. In this list can be found the names of the men who although apparently residents of Swansea, still owned land and were proprietors of Rehoboth [Ibid., vol. I, p. 36].


In the list of freemen in New Plymouth Colony on 29 May 1670 are 31 in Rehoboth and 9 in Swansea. On 18 Nov. 1670, 52 three- rank inhabitants are recorded there as is another list of 55 in- habitants recorded on 7 Feb. 1670/1 [Ibid., vol. I, p. 38].


The earliest extant tax list of the town of Rehoboth is for the year 1671. This shows some 90 taxpayers, 15 of whom are listed as residents of Swansea on two distinct and separate 1670 lists. At a meeting of the purchasers of the territory known as the North Purchase, held 28 Mar. 1672, the names of some 87 share owners are recorded, together with their holdings [Ibid., vol. I, p. 39].


On 26 Dec. 1689, Major William Bradford, son and heir of William Bradford, Governor of Plymouth Colony, for £15, gave the inhabi- tants of Rehoboth a quitclaim deed to all the lands included in the township of Rehoboth. In this list are some 200 names of inhabi- tants and proprietors, resident and non-resident, orphans, etc., including every freeholder of land in Rehoboth. This is a very complete and valuable list of inhabitants. On 23 July 1689, Major William Bradford gave the inhabitants of Swansea a quitclaim deed to all lands included in the township of Swansea. This list contains about 115 names. On 9 July 1689 Major William Bradford gave the inhabitants of Taunton a quitclaim deed of all lands included

Rehoboth Census 1800


in the township of Taunton. About 195 inhabitants are mentioned in this deed. The town of Providence has some important Gov- ernor Andros tax lists, two each for the years 1687 and 1688. One poll tax list shows 172 males 16 years old, and upwards, and another 120 male real estate and personal property taxpayers [Ibid., vol. I, pp. 56, 62, 64, 89].


SECOND UNITED STATES CENSUS, 1800


The 1800 census of Rehoboth is here published for the first time. The copy was very carefully and expertly made from the Archives at Washington, D. C., by Mr. Edward H. West, F.A.S.G., of Laurel, Maryland, who very kindly presented it to the author of this book.

The Rehoboth 1800 census shows a total of 794 heads of families, of which 757 are males and 37 females. The males are: under 10 years of age, 689; 10 to 16 years, 402; 16 to 26 years, 382; 26 to 45 years, 391; over 45 years, 412; and 1 colored. The females are: under 10 years of age, 647; 10 to 16 years, 371; 16 to 26 years, 449; 26 to 45 years, 434, and over 45 years, 478.


The total population in the Town of Rehoboth for the year 1800 was 4,656 persons, with an average per family of 5.9 persons. The females outnumbered the males by 103, or 2.2 per centum.


In the ten-year period from the census of 1790 to that of 1800, Rehoboth failed to gain in population and actually suffered a slight loss. In 1800 it had 38 less families or 4.6 per centum, and a loss in population of 54 or 1.2 per centum. In 1790 it had an average of 5.7 persons per family and in 1800, an average of 5.9 persons per family.


These census figures show that after the Revolutionary War more inhabitants were migrating from Rehoboth than there were new inhabitants to take their places. During their war service many of Rehoboth's young men saw other parts of New England that ap- pealed to them and returning to Rehoboth organized groups of neighbors and migrated to these new "promised lands".
