Descrição:
1635Blaxton Settles Rhode Island
Blaxton purportedly did not get along with the leaders of the Boston church, so he moved about 35 miles (56 km) south of Boston to what the Indians called the Pawtucket River, today known as the Blackstone River. He was the first settler in Rhode Island in 1635, one year before Roger Williams established Providence Plantations. The area that Blaxton settled was part of the Plymouth Colony until 1691; it came under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts Bay Colony until 1741 but finally became part of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.
