118 DR. JONATHAN ARNOLD. The services of this man during Revolutionary times form a large chapter in the history of our country. In 1787 he removed to Ver- mont, and settled on a large tract, granted to him and his associates the previous year, for his services to that State in the Continental Congress. His third wife was
330 Cynthia Hastings, of Charlestown, N. H. His last wife was 331 Susan Perkins, of St. Jolinsbury, Vermont. Her second hus- band was
332 Charles Marsh, the father of
333 George P. Marsh. The number of his children I have not taken the trouble to ascertain. I can only say that a daughter married
334 James Burrill, an eminent lawyer of Providence, and that his third wife, Cynthia Hastings, presented him with a son, named
335 Lemuel Hastings. This man was Governor of Rhode Island in 1831. He married
336 Sally Lyman, the daughter of
337 Major Daniel Lyman, who, my readers will remember, was one of the " Arnold and Lyman Purchase." Governor Arnold died June 27, 1852.

HEZEKIAH SPRAGUE. (See No. 535.)
For upwards of a century the Spragues were promi- nent actors in the religions and political history of Old Smithfield. The reader will, therefore, bear with me for stopping at this point to give a brief account of the ancestors of Hezekiah ere I give his children. Like the ancestors of almost every other New England family, the Spragues emigrated to this county in "triplets." There were the inevitable "three brothers," one of whom settled over here, another over yonder, and another somewhere else.
204
HISTORY OF WOONSOCKET.
Whether or not they came over in the good ship " Blessing," I have not taken the trouble to ascer- tain. These "three brothers " were :
542 Ralph Sprague.
543 Richard
544 William
They were the sons of
545 Edward Sprague, of Upway, county of Dorset, Eng. They came first to Salem in 1628, and the following year removed to Charlestown, Mass. William married
546 Millicent Eames, the daughter of
547 Anthony Eames. In the Summer of 1636 the young couple re- moved to Hingham. The eighth child of this twain was named
548 Jonathan Sprague. He was born May 28, 1648, and in early manhood removed to Rhode Island. This man was a very prominent man in the early days of our colony, and a notice of him takes up a large space in "Staples's Annals of Providence." He lived in the vicinity of the lower Quaker Meeting-house. His son was
549 Jonathan Sprague. This man was a very noted Baptist clergy- man, and figured largely in the polemic controversies of his day. Among his children was
550 HEZEKIAHI SPRAGUE. He married Sarah --- , and was blessed with the following-named children :
551 Lydia, born Feb. 20, 1726.
552 Ruth, Dec. 26, 1727.
553 Anne, Jan. 11, 1730.
554 Hudassah, June 2, 1732.
555 Mehitabel, .. March 7, 1735.

558 Sarah,
. March 15, 1742.
559 Mercy, March 12, 1745.
560 Abigail, Feb. 22, 1748.
We will now return to Hezekiah and Alpha. Their children were :
561 Sarah, born 1768; married Ezekiel Angell. 562 Ruth, 1771 ; Emor Angell.
