Abt 1680 - Aft 1726  (46 years)

• Name	Benjamin MOWRY  [1]
  	"The George Soule Family": On 27 Nov 1710 Joseph Mory and Benjamin Mory Jr, both of Kingstown RI, sold land to Thomas Hazard. On 21 May 1715, ack. 27 May 1715, Benjamin Mory and wife Lydia deeded land in So., Kingstown RI to Robert Hazard. Benjamin also deeded land to Robert Hazard on 26 Jan. 1714/5. On 12 Jan. 1719 Benjamin Mowry Jr. administered the estate of his brother Roger Mowry. Benjamin Mory's burned will, apparently proved in No. Kingstown RI ca. September 1726, mentions D(burn) Agibail Hiames, Mary Mory, Hannah (burn), Elizabeth Mory. If D(burn) Mary marries John Jones, then she gets only 4 shillings instead of land. On 12 Jan. 1727/8 Benjamin Mory, probably the father, deeded land to his sister-in-law Sarah Mory, widow of Joseph Mory. Sarah Mory, widow of So. Kingstow, and relict of Joseph Mory, sold land 17 July 1725. The 29 March 1728 will of her father Moses Barber mentions heirs of daughter Lydia Mowry deed. The 21 Sep 1755 will of her mother Susannah Barber also mentions the heirs of daughter Lydia Mowry. On 10 June 1734 Abraham Perkins, Robert Hannah and Ichabod Potter were appointed to inventory the estate of Benjamin Mory, late of South Kingstown, decd. This man is probably the father Benjamin, who was b. Providence RI 8 May 1649. The heirs of Benjamin Mory, decd., of No. Kingstown are mentioned as neighbors in a deed made by Joshua Gardner of So. Kingstown and his wife Deliverance dated 5 March 1760. this land is apparently in Exeter RI. NOTE: The burned will record for Benjamin Mory names daughters. the two who are of age to marry or think of marriage are probably the children of Lydia Barber, while the last two, hannah and Elizabeth, are probably by Benjamin Mowry's second marriage and thus not Soule descendants.
