From Putnam's Monthly Historical Magazine and Magazine of New England History (Google eBook).  Salem Press Publishing and Printing Company, 1915 - New England.  Page 7-9.  JOHN WILLIAMS OF NEWPORT, MERCHANT, AND HIS FAMILY. BY Gnonon ANDREWS MORIARTY, JR., A.M.:

Ann Alcock was the daughter of Dr. John and Sarah (Palsgrave) Alcock of Roxbury. Dr. Alcock was a graduate of Harvard in 1646, and his wife was the daughter of Dr. Richard Palsgrave, one of the principal settlers of Charlestown, Mass., in 1629. Dr. Alcock was the son of Dr. George and (Hooker) Alcock of Roxbury, Mass. This Dr. George Alcock came in Winthrop’s fleet, and was the first deacon of Eliot's church at Roxbury, and Deputy from Roxbury to the first General Court in 1634. His wife was the sister of Rev. Thomas Hooker, the venerated founder of Hartford, Conn. Dr. John Alcock was one of the prime movers in the settlement of Block Island, of which he was one of the purchasers, and his son-in-law, John Williams, inherited a large part of the Alcock property at Block Island, including the well known Fort Island, in the great Salt Pond, mentioned by Rev. Nathaniel Niles in his “History of the Indian Wars,” and also part of the Alcock grant on the Assobet River in the town of Stow, Mass.
The mother of the above children Ann (Alcock) Williams-Guttery resided, after the death of her second husband, Robert Guttery, at Block Island. On 22 Aug., 1706, she sold a house in the south end of Boston, on the west side of the “road leading to Roxbury” (Washington St.), which had descended to her from her grandmother, Anna Palsgrave, relict of Richard Palsgrave of Charlestown, to Samuel Greenleaf of Boston. Her will, on file at New Shoreham, is dated 12 Dec., 1718, and was proved 27 June, 1723. She makes her sons John Sands and Robert Westcott, executors, and bequeaths to her daughter Arabella Pelham, to her daughter Elizabeth Paine, to son Thomas Paine then living on Block Island, and provides that he (viz. Thomas Paine) shall give a cow to her grandson, Joseph McCarty, when he comes of age. She also mentions her daughter, Mary Westcott, and her grandchildren, Palsgrave and John Williams, Joseph McCarty, Robert Sands, Edward Hull and Anna Bennett. The will was proved by Edward Pelham and Anna Bennett, the nearest of kin.
