Rebecca HARNDEL.1886. John HARNDEL
(943) died on 6 Feb 1687. IMMIGRANT - "John Harndel, was a juryman
at Newport RI in 1673, according to Austin's Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode
Island which goes on to give the following item: '1678 June 12 A very great
hurt having been done to a small child by fast riding; it was enacted by the
Assembly that any person presuming to ride a horse at a gallop, &c., in any
street between the house that lately John Harndel lived in, and the house where
Thomas Clifton lives, shall for the offence pay 5s. fine.' This is certainly
one of the first laws against speeding in New England! John Harndel's will,
dated 9 Feb 1685 and proved 22 Apr 1698, says, 'To daughter Rebecca, wife of
Hugh Mosher, of Portsmouth, a good ewe sheep.' Austin gives his date of death
as 6 Feb 1687. It seems a long time between that and the probate." (Bonnie
