Research Notes
Portsmouth ===Portsmouth (present day Aquidneck Island) was settled in 1638 by a group of religious dissenters from Massachusetts Bay Colony, which included Peleg's father, Philip Sherman-1884, who had been disarmed and forced to leave the colony.
The native Narragansett Indians called it "Pocasset" (meaning "where the stream widens"). It was sold to the Colonists and officially re-named Portsmouth on May 12, 1639. It became part of the Colony of RhodeIsland and Providence Plantations.
Aquidneck Island was called Rhode Island in Colonial times.
Newport County ===Newport County was constituted on June 22, 1703, as one of the two original counties of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations; the other being Providence County. Originally, Newport County consisted of four towns: Portsmouth, Newport, Jamestown, and New Shoreham.<ref>Wikipedia contributors. (2018, May 5). Newport County, Rhode Island.
