Biography

Alice Potter was born in England about 1587. She was said to be the sister of Robert Potter. However, based on the year Alice was born, and the year of birth of Robert Potter and each of his siblings, she was likely his aunt, sister of Robert's father George. Terms like sister were often used for an aunt, similar to brother for nephew, etc.

She was the sister of Robert Potter, then of Lynn, Mass., but later of Portsmouth, R.I., where he signed the compact in 1639.[1]

Neither Alice Potter (born about 1587) nor George Potter (born about 1584) were children of Robert Potter and Elizabeth Marshall. Robert and Elizabeth married in 1591. Their first child was baptized in 1592.

Alice married in England about 1610 Anthony Paine. Alice and Anthony had at least four children:

  1. Alice Paine, b. Abt 1612, England, bapt. 30 Aug 1626 at Newport Pagnell, Buckingham, England, father Anthony Paine, FHL Film 88489.[2] m. Lott Strange, who died before 1688, no children; Alice d. 1690. Alice's will of 1688 left legacy to her niece Elizabeth, daughter of John Tripp and her sister Mary.[3]
  2. Mary Paine, b. Abt 1616 (uncertain) in England, m. (1) abt 1638, prob. in Portsmouth, R.I. John Tripp who died at Portsmouth in 1678. Mary (Paine) Tripp m. 4 Apr 1682 at Portsmouth Benjamin Engell. Mary d. 12 Feb. 1687, prob at Portsmouth.[4]
  3. Anne Paine, bapt. 8 Oct 1620: "Anne Payne, the daughter of Anthony Payne and Alice his wife was baptized the 8th day of Octobe 1620." (See image.)[5]
  4. Anthony Paine, bapt. 24 Jul 1631 at Newport Pagnell, Buckingham, England; d. 26 Jan 1632, father Anthony Paine, FHL Film 88489.[6]

Anne and Anthony did not survive. Anthony Paine named daughters Alice and Mary in his will.

Anthony Paine was admitted as an inhabitant of Portsmouth, Rhode Island on 6 Feb 1638:

Feb 6, of the same year, 1638, ANTHONY PAINE was "received to be an inhabitant" at Portsmouth, R.I., but further particulars concerning him, or his family are wanting, except that...his wife bore the sweet name of Rose.[7]

John Anthony and 28 others (John Tripp, Robert Stainton, George Potter, Robert Potter, Wm Hutchinson, Samuel Gorton et al) signed a Compact of Loyalty to the government of Portsmouth on 30 Apr 1639.[8]

Alice (Potter) Paine died probably at Portsmouth, Rhode Island before 10 Nov 1643, the day Anthony Paine signed a prenuptial with second wife Rose. As a widower, he entered into an agreement with Rose [French] Grinnell, previous to their marriage.[9]

Alice born England, her death was before 10 November, 1643, as at this date, her husband (Anthony Paine) being a widower, and Rose Grinnell a widow (of Matthew Grinnell), they entered into an agreement preliminary to their marriage. ... It was also agreed between Anthony and Rose before their marriage that upon the death of either (after marriage) the property of the one deceased should go to the children of that person; Rose having four children and Anthony Paine three children.

"10 Nov. 1643, his [Mathew Grinnell] widow Rose made ante-nuptial agreement with Anthony Paine, then of Portsmouth, whose wife she became. She deeded to her three sons Mathew, Thomas and Daniel, two ...goats apiece and to her son Mathew a cow; also it was agreed that upon the death of either the property of the one deceased should go to the children of that person".

"We know the names of his three sons only because, after his death, his widow ROSE (___) made a prenuptial agreement on 10 November 1643 with Anthony Paine in which she names her sons Matthew, Thomas, and Daniel (and a fourth child, not named, who may have been a daughter). On 29 October 1649, a widow again, she and her son Matthew surrendered eight acres in Portsmouth to Lot Strange. By 18 March 1650/1 she had married, as her third husband, James Weeden of Portsmouth. She was still alive 17 December 1673 when, as Rose Weeden, she sold her property in Portsmouth to her son Matthew Grennell for 30 pounds and a promise of maintenance for life. We do not know when she died."

"His [Matthew Grinnell?s] wife, named Rose, survived him, being in 1643 the wife of Anthony Paine and later marrying James Weeden. There were three sons and a daughter." Page: pg. 307


Note

{geni:about_me} There are many inconsistencies of the name on this individual married to Anthony PAINE. Most sources say her name is Rose; some will say she is Susanna or Alice.
