Abstract:
Examinations of John Williams, a sailor of Irish descent, and Ann Perry, an African American woman, regarding their "place of settlement." Williams settled in Providence after being discharged from the U.S.S. President, and he was "rejected from being an inhabitant in this town" by the council. Perry states that she was "born in the Town of Tiverton of free Parents" who were property owners, lists who she has lived with in Providence, and notes that she "goes out to days work for a living and was never married." Both Perry and Williams sign with their marks.
