There is discrepancy amg sources concerning number of wives Stukely had & which wife bore which child. If 1 goes by dates of his marriages Julianna Marchant was mother of Robert, Demaris & Samuel, while Rosanna Hill was mother of Amos, Jeremiah & Mercy.

From

"Freeman of Salem 1636, 1 of 13 original proprietors of Providence, RI, settled in Warwick, Rl 1648, 8 times mbr of court of commissioners, Gen'l Assistant of Providence Plantations, 1653.

Do not know who father was for sure, his ancestry here is guesswork.

In memoranda made Apr 1656 by Benedict Arnold & found amg his old family papers, stated: ' My father (William Arnold) & his family sett sayle from Dartmouth in Old England, the 1st of May, Friday & arrived in New England (Thursday) June 24, 1635. On board was Stukely Westcott 48 of Yeovil, and his wife with children Robert, Damaris, Samuel 13, Amos 4, Mercy and Jeremiah.' That Benedict, then 20 yrs of age, should have

singled out Westcott's to mention in his memoranda, may be safely explained by his promising friendship w/Damaris Westcott, then abt 15 yrs old, & who later became his wife.

End quote from source 8

But according to Whitman "Stukely Westcott, of whose posterity this is a genealogy, was born in the year 1592, probably in Somersetshire, England, although some historians, including the late Judge Bullock, place the shire or county of his birth as Devon. (See Part L) He died at the home of his grandson in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, Jan 12, 1677, after having been driven from his home in "Old Warwick," RI, by the Indians. He was one of the 13 original "proprietors" of Providence Plantation & the Colony of Rhode Island in New England. The name of his wife is not definitely known, but was probably Rosanna Hill, a native of Somersetshire. They had 6 children when they reached Salem, MA Jun 24, 1635, all of whom, except Samuel, grew to maturity, married & had a large posterity. Family was of Providence, RI, 1638, & of Old Warwick, RI, 1643. Issue, 6 ch: Robert, Damaris, Samuel, Amos, Mercy, Jeremiah."

Whitman does not mention Juliana Marchant.

An updated version of part of Whitman's work states there is no record of Rosanna Hill & Juliana Marchant was his only wife.

Juliana Marchant was the daughter of John Marchant, who was bapt. at Yeovil, Aug. 8, 1571, and granddaughter of John Merchant and his wife, Eva Comings, who were married at Yeovil on July 18, 1568. John, Sr., d-1593. The Marchant family in Yeovil, according to the register, is as old as the register itself, which dates from the year 1563. Burke’s “General Armory" records two families of Marchants entitled to bear Arms: (1) “Azure, a hare rampant, or, between three mulletts.” The residence or county is not given. (2) “or, three anchors sable”; that is, a gold shield with three black anchors. This Coat of Arms is ascribed to Marchant family in Devonshire and plainly indicates they were sea-faring people, having probably received the grant of Arms for some valiant deed on the seas.
