Influential Rhode Islanders: ROGER WILLIAMS

Exiled from Salem, Roger Williams pulled up his long socks, got on his horse and founded Rhode Island. Promising religious freedom and rights to the Native peoples that lived here, Roger Williams was a forward thinking genius who bucked convention and blazed trails.

These are many men who made America what it is today. They were Christians who loved God, the Scriptures, and loved their parents. A pity that many Americans follow the paths of Europeans and do not value their evangelical churches, their pastors, their roots and their faith. Marcos Lopez

I have a question about Rogers Williams. In Charles Berlitz's book the Stranger and the Extraordinary declares that no body was found in his coffin. Is it true that the Rhode Island Historical Society removed his body?

An apple root was found in his coffin. It was in the shape of a spine with two legs Some historical society is in possesion of it, I believe. Roger was my 14 generational great--grandfather through his daughter Mercy.
