Title	Mary Rodman (1729-1798) evaculation of Newport, 1775.
Subject	Rodman family history
Place	Newport (Rhode Island)
Description	In this small but historically important note, Mary Rodman writes that that she and her seven children left Newport, Rhode Island in search of security inland during the three year occupation of the town by British troops during the Revolutionary War that left much of the city in ruins. Mary Rodman notes that she returned to Newport in 1783 to find her house was intact, one of the few in the city to escape destruction. In the following year, 1784, she invited the Rotch family of Nantucket to stay with her family during the yearly Quaker meeting and it was on this occasion that Thomas Rotch(1767-1823) and Charity Rodman, Mary's youngest daughter (1766-1824) met for the first time as teens. They married in 1790 in the same Quaker meeting house in Newport. At the bottom of this note in Charity Rotch's hand is a note indicating that she left Newport with her husband for New Bedford, Massachusetts in August, 1793. 4.5" x 4.7" (10.3 by 12 cm)
