REFN: 41992
He came to America in 1638, first Plymouth and then Boston. He settledin
Portsmouth, RI in 1640. In 1660 he along with 16 families purchasedBlock
Island. In 1663-1664, he was a constable of Block Island. During King
Philips
War in 1676 he was a commander of the New Shoreman Co. In 1689, three
French
privateers landed a force on the island, and plundered the inhabitants,
killing
their cattle, etc. They made their headquarters at the house of James
Sands,
"which was large and accomadable for their purpose and not far from the
harbor," as Samuel Niles (grandson) narrates. In 1699, his widow Sarah
gave
negro Hannah to granddaughter Sarah Sands, daughter of Edward, also negro
Sarah, to granddaughter Catharine Niles, and a negro boy to grandsonSands
Raymong, and negro girl Rose to granddaughter Elizabeth Raymond. The
negro
girls were to be free at thirty and the boy at thirty-three. His wife
Sarah
was the doctor of the Island.
An interesting account of his grandparents is given in the writings of
Rev.
Samuel Niles: O James Sands he says: "Hewas a benefactor to the poor;
for as
his house was garrisoned in the time of their fears of the Indians, many
poor
people resorted to it, and were supported mostly from his liberality. He
was
also a promoter of religion in hisbenefactions to the minister they had
there
in his day, though not altogether so agreeable to him as might be
desired, as
being inclined to the Anabaptist persuasion. He devoted his house forthe
worship of God, where it was attended being Lord's day or Sabbath." "Mr
Sands
had a plentiful estate, and gave free entertainment to all gentlemen that
came
to the Island."
Sarah Sands is thus described by her grandson, "His wife was a
gentlewoman of
remarkable sobriety and piety, given also to hospitality. She was the
only
midwifeand doctress on the Island, or rather a doctor, all her days,
with very
little and with some and mostly no reward at all." She performed some
wonderful cures in her vocation of doctress it appears.
