NOTES FROM THE BURDICK FAMILY WEBSITE-

The following letter was written from Westerly, August 4, 1666, by Mrs. Ruth Burdick to her father, Samuel Hubbard, at Newport: 'Most loving and dear father and mother, my duty with my husband and children presented unto you with all my dear friends. My longing desire is to hear from you, how your hearts are borne up above these troubles which are come upon us and are coming as we fear ; for we have the rumors of war, and that almost every day. Even now we have heard from your Island by some Indians, who declared unto us that the French have done some mischief upon the coast, and we have heard that 1200 Frenchmen have joined with the Mohawks to clear the land both of English and of Indians.'
(cont) 'But I trust in the Lord, if such a thing be intended, that he will not suffer such a thing to be. My desire and prayer to God is, that he will be pleased to fulfil his promise to us, that is, that as in the world we shall have troubles, so in him we shall have peace. The Lord of comfort, comfort your and our hearts, and give us peace in believing and joy in the Holy Ghost. Oh that the Lord would be pleased to fill our hearts with his good spirit, that we may be carried above all these things and that we may remember his saying, 'When ye see these things come to pass, lift up your heads, knowing that your redemption draws nigh.' Then if these things be the certain sign of our Lord's return, let us mind his command, that is, pray always that ye may be counted worthy to escape all these things, and to stand before the son of man.'
(cont) 'Let us have boldness to come unto him in the new and living way which he has prepared for us. Through grace I find the Lord doth bear up the spirits of his in this place, in some comfortable measure to be looking above these things, the Lord increase it more and more unto the day of his appearing, which I hope is at hand. Dear father and mother, the Lord bath been pleased to give us here many sweet and comfortable days of refreshing, which is great cause of thankfulness, and my desire is that we may highly prize it, and you with us give the Lord praise for his benefit. I pray remember my love to all my dear friends with you in fellowship. Sister Sanders desires to be remember to you all, so doth sister Clarke. Your loving daughter to my power.' - RUTH BURDICK

Robert Burdick was married November 2, 1655, at Newport, R. I., to Ruth Hubbard, then 15 years old. She was the first white child born in Springfield, Mass. Her father, Samuel Hubbard, was one of the founders, at Newport, December 23, 1671, of the Seventh Day Baptist Church. He was born in 1610, at Mendelsham, Suffolk County, England, and was the son of James and Naomi ( Cocke ) Hubbard, daughter of Thomas Cocke of Ipswich. His grandfather, Thomas Hubbard, was burned at the stake, May 26, 1555, in Essex County, England, for refusing to recant his Protestantism. His fate is related in Fox's 'Book of Martyrs' ( Book III, Chap. 14 ), under the name of Thomas Higbed.

Samuel Hubbard came in 1633 to Salem, Mass. At Windsor, Conn., January 4, 1636, by Mr. Ludlow, he married Tasy Cooper. They were both in the party that marched through the wilderness in the hard winter of 1635 from Watertown, Mass, to become the founders of Connecticut. On account of persecution for expressing Baptist views. Mr. Hubbard finally, in 1648, sought refuge in Rhode Island. In 1664 he was appointed General Solicitor of the Colony. December 23, 1668, with his wife, one daughter, and four other persons he formed the first Seventh Day Baptist Church in America. He died between 1688 and 1692 and his wife after 1697, but no traces of their burial places have been found.

Tasy ( Cooper ) Hubbard, the mother of Robert Burdick's wife was, in 1664, the first convert in America to the doctrine that no authority existed or could exist for altering God's decree establishing the seventh day as the Sabbath by the substitution of another day. She came to Dorchester, June 9, 1634, from England and was 28 years old when married ( Hist. of Winsor, Conn. ).

From the Literary Diary of Ezra Stiles, Vol. 3, p. 82: A singular gravestone : 'Ebenezer' 'Samuel Hubbard aged 10 of May 78 yeres, Old Tase Hubbard aged the 27 Sep 79 yeres and 7 mons 4 Jen maryed 51, yeres 1688 14 Vpsal 4. God have given us 7 children 4 ded 3 living, Ruth Burdick 11, 1 ded, 10 living, Rachael Langworthy had 10 children 3 ded 7 living. Bethiah Clark 9 living, Great Grandchildren Naomi B Rogers 1 ded 4 alyfe, Ruth B Phillips 1 ded 4 alyfe, Judah C Maxson, Thomas Burd'
I took this inscription off a gravestone in a family burying place on Baptist Berkleys White Hall farm on Rh. Isld, about A. D. 1763. Collector Robinson bought the Lease about 1765 and demolished the gravestones and put them into a wall : so that all is lost. From a loose paper which I, wrote in 1763 1 now copy here. This Samuel Hubbard was a Baptist Teacher, settled at Newport about 1648 and made this Eben. 1688. Intricate as it seems, more is contained on this stone than can be given in other words in so small a space. I think 1688 must be a year common to Four dates.
(cont) I should suppose the stone erected Sep 27, 1688, when the wife was aged 79 and 7 mo., and Mr. Hubbard was aged 78 on May 10 that year and on 4 Jany they had been married 51 yrs. The 14 Vpsal 4 is the 145th Psalm and 4th verse-'One generation shall praise thy works to another.' The B and C, I think a beautiful way of expressing lineal Descents. Thus Naomi B Rogers, I take to be Naomi Burdick who married Rogers-so Judah Maxson was the Daughter of Bethiah Clark and it will be read Judah Clark Maxson.'
