Research
Walter appears as head of household in the 1774 census of Rhode Island[2]. His household distribution and inferred attributions are
- four men over 16: Walter and sons George, Thomas, and William
- one boy under 16: son Walter
- two women over 16: Elizabeth and daughter Philadelphia
- three girls under 16: daughters Elizabeth, Mary, and Hannah
These tallies match perfectly the list of known children of Walter and Elizabeth.
