From the Rathbone Genealogy:389
“John Rathbone was made a freeman of Rhode Island May 1, 1696, and on Oct 13th of the same year was appointed a deputy to the General Court for New Shoreham. He was surveyor of highways in 1676, and deputy from 1681 to 1684. Just before his marriage he received from his father a deed to 60 acres of land on Block Island, the consideration being ‘one barrel of pork.’ From some old records we learn that Great James and his wife (Indians) bound their daughter Betsey to John Rathbone and his wife Ann as an indentured servant for the period of 18 years; the consideration being ‘one gallon of rum, one blanket in hand, and five years afterwards one gallon of rum yearly thereafter, and if she remains five years, the said Rathbone to pay to pay four blankets, and every third year thereafter.’ April 28, 1717 he testified in relation to the seizure, by a pirate sloop of which Paul Grove Williams was the commander, of three men-- George Mitchell, William Tosh, and Dr. James Sweet-- who were with him in a boat which at the time of the seizure was lying in the harbor bay. Gov. Cranston wrote Col. Shull in regard to the matter, that, ‘in case the pirate Williams should fall into your excellency's hands, the poor men therein mentioned may secure such favor as justice will allow.’”
