The Tefft Papers
The Tefft Family and the Narragansett Controversy
The Tefft Family and the Narragansett Controversy: A Window to the Creation of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.
Read the original research that went into the making of my historical novel, King's Province. What evidence is there that Sarah Greene was Mrs. Joshua Tefft? Why was her first husband sentenced to hang for committing murder? Why was her second husband executed for high treason by the United Colonies?
Was Sarah, in fact, the most unforunate bride in the New World? She would perish just two days after giving birth to a son, Peter, in 1672. And it is his legacy that would redeem his father's name.
Here are the original court records; birth, death, and marriage records; land evidence and other primary documents, which established the basis for my historical novel. Extensive citations make this is the most exhaustive work ever created in the study of the ill-fated Joshua Tefft and his family.
