Misc. Notes
In 1635, Thomas Olney, the father of John Junior's first wife, a resident of Hertfordshire, Old England, came to Salem, Massachusetts, where he early became associated with those who accepted the views of The Reverend Roger Williams.
On 12 March 1638, he was banished from the colony with a number of others. John Junior's wife's sister, Lydia Olney, married Joseph Williams, the son of Roger Williams.
On 8 October 1638, Olney was one of twelve men to whom Williams deeded equal shares with himself in the Providence Plantation. He thus became one of the "Original Thirteen Proprietors of Providence."
In 1652, along with a minority of members, he separated from the First Baptist Church in Providence in order to establish his own Baptist church that continued to teach, among other ideas, the Calvinist doctrine of predestination. His church lasted for some 70 years. He and his son, Thomas Junior, were minister/elders there until the latter's death in 1722.
