Excerpts from Charles Wilson Opdyke’s The Op Dyck Genealogy, pages 85–93:5
    Lodowick Updike sas baptised June 10, 1646, in the Dutch Church of New Amsterdam, in the presence of his father Gysbert Opdyck, and of his grandfather Richard Smith and the fiscal de La Montagne who acted as sponsors. Three years of his infancy were probably passed at Fort Hope (Hartford) where his father was commander. His childhood and youth were spent at New Amsterdam in his father's house on Stone Street or in the house “next the City Hall,” and on Long Island about Hempstead and Newtown. The lad must have often accompanied his Smith grandfather and uncle in their sloop to the trading-house at Narragansett. He was eighteen years of age when the English seized the New Netherlands, and New Amsterdam became New York. ...
    At the age of 22, Lodowick is found at Wickford joining others in a petition to Connecticut, for the protection of that government. There had been much conflict as to the jurisdiction over the Narragansett country. In 1665 the King’s Commissioners had constitued that territory into a separate district under the name of the King’s Province, and it remained for many years a bone of contention between Connecticut, Rhode Island, the Marquis of Hamilton, and the Atherton claimants. The question was not decided in favor of Rhode Island until long afterward, and some of the boundaries were finally settled only in the next century when Lodowick’s son Daniel was Attorney General. At the early age of 25, Lodowick was appointed by the authorities at Acquednesitt, on a committee of twenty, with his brother Richard and the husband of their sister Elizabeth, to select a Conservator of the Peace to act with Richard Smith.

    Lodowick is found continually on the Rhode Island and Wickford records, and must have been a man of prominence and energy. He was Lieutenant, Assessor, repeatedly Grand Juryman and on the most important Town Committees, and Deputy to the R. I. General Assembly. To attract settlers he laid out the town of Wickford and sold many lots. It has been supposed that the town derived its name from '”Lodo wick’s ford;” but this is an error, as Richard Smith dated a letter from “Wickford” in 1664. No new comer was allowed to settle except on a year's probation, and he must find some one to be security that he would not become a town charge.
