• Notes

  The Way family is one of the oldest ones in this country, and the American progenitor, Henry Way, a Puritan, a native of England, born in 1583, was a s/o George and Agnes (Symes) Way, of Powerstock, Dorset County, England. In 1630, when conditions in England became unendurable to one of his faith, Henry Way, with his wife, Elizabeth, and sixteen-year-old son, George, took passage on the good ship Mary and John, and reaching the American colonies, settled in what is now Dorchester, Massachusetts. In 1657 George Way followed Roger Williams into Rhode Island, and there he spent the remainder of his life and died there in 1716.
