William Wickenden : ウィキペディア英語版 | William Wickenden
William Wickenden (c. 1614–1671) was an early Anglo-American Baptist minister, co-founder Providence, Rhode Island, and signer of the Providence Compact. Wickenden Street in Providence marks where he originally settled in the seventeenth century and is named in his honor.〔James Pierce Root, ''Steere Genealogy: A Record of the Descendants of John Steere, who Settled in Providence, Rhode Island, about the year 1660,'' (Providence: Riverside Press, 1890). (Wickenden's daughter married John Steere, progenitor of that family)〕 ==Immigration to New England== Wickenden was possibly born in Oxfordshire, England in about 1614. There has been no definitive evidence provided that William Wickenden was born in Oxfordshire. Some claim that he was born in Oxford and this has not been proven either. The Wickenden name originates in Cowden, Kent, and by coincidence, there is an Otford in that county. Some people wonder whether this is a more logical place to search for his birth.
