father was the Rev. Richard Barnard d. 1641.
Roger Williams was a clergyman who founded the colony of Rhode
Island. His father was James Williams d.1621 and his mother’s name was
Alice Pemberton d. 1634. James Williams father was Mark Williams &
mother was Agnes Audley. Historians today consider him one of the
greatest of American colonial statesmen. His Rhode Island colony was the
1st truly democratic state of modern times. It served as a model for the
Americans who established the United States of America. William was born
in London and was educated at Cambridge University. He became a Puritan
an in 1629 was ordained a minister. He preached religious tolerance and
liberty but had to flee from England to avoid arrest. In 1631, William
landed in Boston with his wife. He then moved to Salem and later Plymouth
when authorities rejected his preaching. In 1633 he returned to Salem as
Chief Teacher in the church. His positions were not popular. He accused
the Massachusetts Bay Company of not paying the Indians for the land they
had taken. He was tried for heresy and sentenced to return to England,
but escaped. Williams spent the winter with the Indians. He was loved by
the Indians for settling arguments between the tribes. The Narragansett
Indians gave him land now know as Rhode Island. In 1636 he founded the
town of Providence, RI. Williams founded the settlement on the principle
of freedom of worship & seperation of church and state. Other near
by settlements joined and RI became a colony. Williams went to England
to obtain a chater for RI in 1644. In 1654 he became president of the colony
and served for 3 years.
Early life
Williams was born in Cowley, Middlesex, England on 21 Dec. 1603. (needs
citation) At age 12 he had a conversion experience of which his father
disapproved. His father, James Williams (1562–1620), was a merchant tailor
in Smithfield, England. His mother was Alice Pemberton (1564–1634).
As a teenager Williams apprenticed with Sir Edward Coke (1552–1634),
the famous jurist, and under Coke's patronage, Williams was educated at
Charterhouse and also at Pembroke College, Cambridge (B.A., 1627).[1] He
seemed to have had a gift for languages, and early acquired familiarity
with Latin, Hebrew, Greek, Dutch, and French. Years later he gave John
Milton lessons in Dutch in exchange for refresher lessons in Hebrew.[2]
Although he took Holy Orders in the Church of England, he had become a
Puritan at Cambridge, forfeiting any chance at a place of preferment in
the Anglican church. After graduating from Cambridge, Williams became the
chaplain to a Puritan lord, Sir William Macham. He married Mary Barnard
(1609–76) on December 15, 1629 at the Church of High Laver, Essex, England.
They had six children, all born in America. Their children were Mary, Freeborn,
Providence, Mercy, Daniel and Joseph. Williams was privy to the plans of
the Puritan leaders to migrate to the New World, and while he did not join
the first wave in the summer of 1630, before the end of the year, he decided
he could not remain in England under Archbishop William Laud's rigorous
(and High church) administration. He regarded the Church of England to
be corrupt and false, and by the time he and his wife boarded the Lyon
in early December, he had arrived at the Separatist position. When Roger
and Mary Williams arrived at Boston on February 5, 1631, he was welcomed
and almost immediately invited to become the Teacher (assistant minister)
in the Boston church to officiate while Rev. John Wilson returned to England
to fetch his wife. He shocked them by declining the position, saying that
he found that it was "an unseparated church." In addition he asserted that
the civil magistrates may not punish any sort of "breach of the first table
[of the Ten Commandments]," such as idolatry, Sabbath-breaking, false worship,
and blasphemy, and that every individual should be free to follow his own
convictions in religious matters. Right from the beginning, he sounded
three principles which were central to his subsequent career: Separatism,
freedom of religion, and separation of church and state. As a Separatist
he had concluded that the Church of England was irredeemably corrupt and
that one must completely separate from it to establish a new church for
the true and pure worship of God. His search for the true church eventually
carried him out of Congregationalism, the Baptists, and any visible church.
From 1639 forward, he waited for Christ to send a new apostle to reestablish
the church, and he saw himself as a "witness" to Christianity until that
time came. He believed that soul liberty freedom of conscience, was a gift
from God, and that everyone had the natural right to freedom of religion.
Religious freedom demanded that church and state be separated. Williams
was the first to use the phrase "wall of separation" to describe the relationship
of the church and state. He called for a high wall of separation between
the "Garden of Christ" and the "Wilderness of the World." This idea might
have been one of the foundations of the religion clauses in the U.S. Constitution,
(although the language used by the founders is quite different) and First
Amendment to the United States Constitution. Year later, in 1802 Thomas
Jefferson, writing of the "wall of separation" echoed Roger Williams in
a letter to the Danbury Baptist Association.[3]
The Salem church was much more inclined to Separatism, so they invited
Williams to become their Teacher. When the leaders in Boston learned of
this, they vigorously protested, and the offer was withdrawn. By the end
of the summer of 1631, Williams had moved to Plymouth colony where he was
welcomed, and informally assisted the minister there. He regularly preached
and according to Governor Bradford, "his teachings were well approved."
[4]
[edit] Life at Salem, Exile
Roger Williams House (or "The Witch House") in Salem c. 1910
After a time, Williams felt disappointed that the Plymouth church was
not sufficiently separated from the Church of England, and his study of
the Native Americans had caused him to doubt the validity of the colonial
charters. Governor Bradford later wrote that Williams fell "into some strange
opinions which caused some controversy between the church and him."[5]
In December 1632 he wrote a lengthy tract which openly condemned the King's
charters and questioned the right of Plymouth (or Massachusetts) to the
land without first buying it from the Indians. He charged that King James
had uttered a "solemn lie" when he asserted that he was the first Christian
monarch to have discovered the land. Subsequently, he moved back to Salem
by the fall of 1633 and was welcomed by Rev. Samuel Skelton as an unofficial
assistant in the church. The Massachusetts authorities were not pleased
to see Williams return, and when they learned of his tract attacking the
King and the charters, he was summoned in December 1633 to appear before
the General Court in Boston. The issue was smoothed out, and the tract
disappeared forever, probably burned. In August, 1634 (Rev. Skelton having
died), Williams became acting pastor of the Salem church and continued
to be embroiled in controversies. He had promised earlier not to raise
the issue of the charter again, but he did. Again, in March 1635 was ordered
to appear before the General Court to explain himself. In April he so vigorously
opposed the new oath of allegiance to the colonial government that it became
impossible to enforce it. He was summoned again before the Court in July
to answer for "erroneous" and "dangerous opinions," and the Court declared
that he should be removed from his church position. This latest controversy
welled up at just the moment that the Town of Salem had petitioned the
General Court to annex some land on Marblehead Neck. The Court would not
consider the request until the Salem church removed Williams. The Salem
church felt that this order violated the independence of the church, and
a letter of protest was sent to the other churches. However, the letter
was not read, and the General Court refused to seat the delegates from
Salem at the next session. Support for Williams began to wane under this
pressure, and when Williams demanded that the Salem church separate itself
from other churches, his support crumbled entirely. He withdrew and met
in his home with a few of his most devoted followers. Finally, in October
1635 he was tried by the General Court and convicted of sedition and heresy.
The Court declared that he was spreading "diverse, new, and dangerous opinions."[6]
He was ordered to be banished. (This order was not repealed until 1936
when Bill 488 was passed by the Massachusetts House.) The execution of
the order was delayed because Williams was ill and winter was approaching,
and he was allowed to stay temporarily provided he ceased his agitation.
He did not cease, so in January 1636 the sheriff came to pick him up only
to discover that Williams had slipped away three days before. He walked
through the deep snow of a hard winter the 105 miles from Salem to the
head of Narragansett Bay. There he was rescued by his friends, the Wampanoags,
and taken to the winter camp of their chief sachem, Massasoit.
Settlement at Providence
Narragansett Indians receiving Roger Williams
In the spring of 1636 Williams and a number of his followers from Salem
began a settlement on land that Williams had bought from Massasoit, only
to be told by Plymouth that he was still within their land grant. They
warned that they might be forced to extradite him to Massachusetts and
invited him to cross the Seekonk River to territory beyond any charter.
The outcasts rowed over to Narragansett territory, and having secured land
from Canonicus and Miantonomi, chief sachems of the Narragansetts, Williams
established a settlement with twelve "loving friends." He called it "Providence"
because he felt that God's Providence had brought him there. (He would
later name his third child, the first born in his new settlement, "Providence"
as well.) He said that his settlement was to be a haven for those "distressed
of conscience," and it soon attracted quite a collection of dissenters
and otherwise-minded individuals. From the beginning, the settlement was
governed by a majority vote of the heads of households, but "only in civil
things," and newcomers could be admitted to full citizenship by a majority
vote. In August of 1637 they drew up a town agreement, which again restricted
the government to "civil things." In 1640, another agreement was signed
by thirty-nine "freemen," (men who had full citizenship and voting rights)
which declared their determination "still to hold forth liberty of conscience."
Thus, Williams had founded the first place in modern history where citizenship
and religion were separated, a place where there was religious liberty
and separation of church and state. In November 1637, the General Court
of Massachusetts disarmed, disenfranchised, and forced into exile the Antinomians,
the followers of Anne Hutchinson. One of them, John Clarke, learned from
Williams that Aquidneck Island might be purchased from the Narragansetts.
Williams facilitated the purchase by William Coddington and others, and
in the spring of 1638 the Antinomians began settling at a place called
Pocasset, which is now the town of Portsmouth, Rhode Island. Some of the
Antinomians, especially those described by Governor John Winthrop as "Anabaptists,"
settled in Providence. In the meantime, the Pequot War had broken out,
and it was a great irony that Massachusetts Bay was forced to ask for Roger
Williams' help. He not only became the Bay colony's eyes and ears, he used
his relationship with the Narragansetts to dissuade them from joining with
the Pequots. Instead, the Narragansetts allied themselves with the English
and helped to crush the Pequots in 1637-1638. When the war was over, the
Narragansetts were clearly the most powerful Indian nation in southern
New England, and quite soon the other New England colonies began to fear
and mistrust the Narragansetts. They came to regard Roger Williams' colony
and the Narragansetts as a common enemy. In the next three decades Massachusetts,
Connecticut, and Plymouth exerted pressure to destroy both Rhode Island
and the Narragansetts. In 1643, the neighboring colonies formed a military
alliance called the United Colonies and pointedly excluded the towns around
Narragansett Bay. The object was to extend their power over the heretic
settlements and put an end to the infection. In response Williams was sent
to England by his fellow citizens to secure a charter for the colony. The
English Civil War was in full swing in England when Williams arrived. The
Puritans were then in power in London, and through the offices of Sir Henry
Vane a charter was obtained despite strenuous opposition from agents from
Massachusetts. Historians agree that the key that unlocked the door for
Williams was his first published book, A Key Into the Language of America
(1643).[7] .[8] Printed by John Milton's publisher the book was an instant
"best-seller," and gave Williams a large and favorable reputation. This
little book was the first dictionary of any Indian tongue in the English
language and fed the great hunger of the English about the Native Americans.
Having secured his precious charter for "Providence Plantations" from Parliament,
in July 1644 Williams then published his most famous book, The Bloody Tenent
of Persecution for Cause of Conscience. This produced a great uproar, and
Parliament responded in August by ordering the book to be burned by the
public hangman. By then, Williams was already on his way home to Providence
Plantations. Also, by then, the settlers on Aquidneck Island had renamed
their island "Rhode Island." Because of opposition from William Coddington
on "Rhode Island," it took Williams until 1647 to get the four towns around
Narragansett Bay to unite under a single government, and liberty of conscience
was again proclaimed. The colony became a safe haven for people who were
persecuted for their beliefs including Baptists, Quakers, and Jews. Still,
the divisions between the towns and powerful personalities did not bode
well for the colony. Coddington, who never liked Williams nor liked being
subordinated to the new charter government, sailed to England and returned
in 1651 with his own patent making him "Governor for Life" over "Rhode
Island" [Aquidneck] and Conanicut. As a result, Providence and Warwick
dispatched Roger Williams and Coddington's opponents on "Rhode Island"
sent John Clarke to England to get Coddington's commission canceled. To
pay for the trip, Williams sold his trading post at Cocumscussec, near
present-day Wickford, Rhode Island. This trading post was his main source
of income. Williams and Clarke were successful in getting Coddington's
patent rescinded, but Clarke remained in England until 1664 to secure a
new charter for the colony. Williams returned to America in 1654 and was
immediately elected the President of the colony. He would subsequently
serve in many offices in the town and colonial governments, and in his
70s he was elected captain of the militia in Providence during King Philip's
War in 1676. One notable effort by "Providence Plantations" (Providence
and Warwick) during the time when Coddington had separated "Rhode Island"
(Newport and Portsmouth) from the mainland came on May 18, 1652, when they
passed a law which attempted to prevent slavery from taking root in the
colony. In 1641 Massachusetts Bay had passed the first laws to make slavery
legal in the English colonies, and these laws spread to Plymouth and Connecticut
with the creation of the United Colonies in 1643. Roger Williams and Samuel
Gorton both opposed slavery, and the law passed in 1652 was the attempt
to stop slavery from coming to Rhode Island. Unfortunately, when the parts
of the colony were reunited, the Aquidneck towns refused to accept the
law and it became a dead letter.[9] The economic and political center of
Rhode Island and Providence Plantations was Newport for the next 100 years,
and they disregarded the anti-slavery law. Indeed, Newport entered the
African slave trade in 1700 and became the leading American slave traders
from then until the American Revolution.[10]
First Baptist Church in America. Williams co-founded
the congregation in 1638
By 1638, Williams' ideas had ripened to the point that he accepted
the idea of believer's baptism, or credobaptism. Williams had been holding
services in his home for some time for his neighbors, many of whom had
followed him from Salem. To that point they had been like the Separatists
of Plymouth, still believing in infant baptism. Williams came to accept
the ideas of English antipedobaptists.
John Smyth, Thomas Helwys, and John Murton were co-founders of the
Baptist movement in England, and produced a rich literature advocating
liberty of conscience. Williams certainly had read some of their writings
because he commented on them in his Bloudy Tenent. While Smyth, Helwys
and Murton were General Baptists, a Calvinistic Baptist variety grew out
of some Separatists around 1630. Williams became a Calvinist or Particular
Baptist (Reformed Baptist). However, Williams had not adopted antipedobaptist
views before his banishment from Massachusetts, for antipedobaptism was
not a charge levelled at him by his opponents. Winthrop attributed Williams's
"Anabaptist" views to the influence of Katherine Scott, a sister of Anne
Hutchinson, who may have impressed upon Williams the importance of believers'
baptism. Historians tend to think that Williams arrived there from his
own study. Williams had himself baptized by Ezekiel Holliman in late 1638.[11]
Thus was constituted a church which still survives as the First Baptist
Church in America. A few years later, John Clarke, Williams’ compatriot
in the cause of religious freedom in the New World, established a Baptist
church in Newport, Rhode Island. In 1847 the Newport church suddenly maintained
that it was the first Baptist church in America, but virtually all historians
have dismissed this claim. If nothing else, Roger Williams had gathered
and resigned from the Providence church before the town of Newport was
even founded. Still, both Roger Williams and John Clarke are variously
credited as being the founder of the Baptist faith in America.[12]
It should be noted that Roger Williams was a Baptist only briefly.
He remained with the little church in Providence only a few months. He
became convinced that the ordinances, having been lost in the Apostasy
[when Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire], they
could not be validly restored without a special divine commission. He declared:
"There is no regularly constituted church of Christ on earth, nor any person
qualified to administer any church ordinances; nor can there be until new
apostles are sent by the Great Head of the Church for whose coming I am
seeking."[13]
He never again affiliated himself with any church, but remained deeply
religious and active in preaching and praying. He looked forward to the
time when Christ would send a new apostle to restore the church, but in
the meantime, he would be a "witness" to Christianity. He always remained
interested in the Baptists, being in agreement with them in their rejection
of infant baptism as in most other matters. He has been mistakenly called
a "Seeker", both in his own time by his enemies and by his admirers in
the last century. Some of his enemies in England called him a “Seeker”
in an attempt to smear him by associating him with a heretical movement
that accepted Socianism and universal salvation. Both of these ideas were
anathema to Williams. He was like a Seeker only in his rejection of any
visible church as being a true church. A twentieth century biographer revived
the Seeker label, but regarded it as a positive thing, and it caught on.
Church and state
Williams had read their writings, and his own experience of persecution
by Archbishop Laud and the Anglican establishment and the bloody wars of
religion that raged in Europe at that very time convinced him that a state
church had no basis in Scripture. Clearly he had arrived at this conclusion
before he landed in Boston in 1631 because he criticized the Massachusetts
Bay system immediately for mixing church and state. He declared that the
state could legitimately concern itself only with matters of civil order,
but not religious belief. The state had no business in trying to enforce
the “first Table” of the Ten Commandments, those first commandments that
dealt with the relationship between God and persons. The state must confine
itself to the commandments that dealt with the relations between people:
murder, theft, adultery, lying, honoring parents, and so forth. He regarded
any effort by the state to dictate religion or promote any particular religious
idea or practice to be “forced worship.” And he colorfully declared that
“forced worship stinks in the nostrils of God.” He would write that he
saw no warrant in the New Testament to use the sword to promote religious
belief. Indeed, he said that Constantine had been a worse enemy to true
Christianity than Nero because Constantine’s support had corrupted Christianity
and led to the death of the Christian church. In the strongest language
he described the attempt to compel belief to be rape of the soul, and he
spoke of the “oceans of blood” shed as a result of trying to command conformity.
He believed that the moral principles found in the Scriptures ought to
inform the civil magistrates, but he observed that well ordered, just,
and civil governments existed where Christianity was not present. All governments
were required to maintain civil order and justice, but none had a warrant
to promote any religion. Most of Williams’s contemporaries and critics
regarded his ideas as a prescription for chaos and anarchy. The vast majority
believed that each nation must have its national church and that dissenters
had to be compelled to conform. The establishment of Rhode Island was so
threatening to its neighbors that they tried for the next hundred years
to extinguish the “lively experiment” in religious freedom that had begun
in 1636.
Death
Williams' final resting place in Prospect Terrace Park
The "Roger Williams Root" in the collection of the Rhode Island Historical
Society
Williams died on April 1, 1683 and was buried on his own property.
Fifty years later, his house had collapsed into the cellar and the location
of his grave forgotten. In 1860, Zachariah Allen sought to locate his remains,
but found nothing. In the grave that Allen thought was that of Williams,
he found the apple tree root, but little else. Some dirt from the hole
was placed in the Randall family mausoleum in the North Burial Ground.
In anticipation of the 300th anniversary of the founding of Providence,
the dirt was retrieved from the mausoleum and placed in an urn and kept
at the Rhode Island Historical Society until a proper monument was erected
at Prospect Terrace Park in Providence. The actual deposit of the “dust
from the grave of Roger Williams” did not occur until 1939 when the WPA
finished the monument. The apple tree root is now regarded as a curio and
kept by the Rhode Island Historical Society at the John Brown House Museum.[14]

a supercargo, which, 60 years before, was a common mode of entering upon
life by those who had received a mercantile education. He subsequently
became a ship master, and continued as such the remainder of his active
days. He was surveyor at Pawtuxet during the Harrison-Tyler Presidency,
succeeding Joseph Aborn, who filled the office from the time of Washington
