"In 1635, Robert and Calel) Carr, husband's brother Benjamin Carr's tw^o sons, were sent over from London to live \vitli their uncle William, my husband. We had fine tiines hunting with the Indians, they w^ere very friendl}^ to us. Our l)edding and clothing were nearly all skins and furs like the Indians, but in all these years I was mindful to educate my son George, although we were in a naineless w^ilderness." "In 1636 Capt.

The same year he bounded the state and called it Rhode Island, and named our j^lace Bristol. He also surveyed and laid out towns and gave tliem names."
