For those who would like to follow the detailed discussion of the document itself, including the handwritings, inks, and history of this leaf, The Providence City Archives has graciously granted permission for TAG to place a high-resolution photograph of the Compact on our website.

    Richard Scott is my 10x great grandfather and I think (though I have a bias here) he and his wife Katherine are sadly overlooked in RI history. Like Williams, the Scotts and Hutchinsons (who went to Portsmouth) and many others were mistreated by the Puritans and moved south to RI. I’m sure this experience with the Puritan theocracy caused Scott to write “..only in civil things” into the agreement.

    I just stumbled upon this via Google and will try to obtain a copy of this issue of TAG
