    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Religion: 30 Dec 1680

    Notes:

    Religion:
    In 1649 Obadiah Holmes and others, of that part of Rehoboth, now a part of Swansea, having embraced the Baptist faith, withdrew from the Congregational church and set up a separate meeting of their own. The attempt to break themup and the persecutions they received increased the number of Baptists. It appears that sometime about 1662, the Rev. John Myles of Swansea, Wales, driven out by the "Act of Conformity" of Charles II, had come to America with a large number of his Welch church, and in 1663, at the home John Butterworth, in Rehoboth, (now East Providence), he organized the first Baptist church in Massachusetts, the fourth organized in America. "These and subsequent proceedings were deemed such an evil by the rest of the inhabitants of the town, and of the colony generally, that the court of Plymouth was called on to interfere. Each member of this new church was fined five pounds, prohibited from worship for the space of one month, and they were advised to remove from Rehoboth to some place where they might not prejudice any existing churh. They accordingly removed to(what is now) Barrington, Rhode Island." Jonathan Bosworth early became a member of this church and was one of those who assisted in the organization of the new town of Swansea, named from the old home of the pastor and some of his flock in Wales. The fact of Jonathans joining this church was very displeasing to his parents and on 30th day 10th mo. 1680 they executed an instrument, virtually disowning him and giving all their property to his younger brother. The instrument reads, in part, " I Jonathan Bozworth with my wife Elizabeth Bozworth have given and doe give unto my son Joseph Bozworth half of my house lott..............but for his Brother Jonathan he shall have nothing to doe with anything I have except he decline from that opinion of ye Anabaptists which he now holds the 30th day of ye 10th month 1680." Jonathan, Senior must have relented because a year later he deeds him land in "the North side of the Towneship of Rehoboth."
