      Philip Ammidowne continued on in Rehoboth working on his farm, and as a cooper. He married his first wife Mehitable Perrin (Perry) there in 1698, she died a year later in child birth. Her child was Henry.
      In 1700 he remarried in Rehoboth to 2nd wife: Joanna Warfield, who was from Mendon, daughter of Deacon John Warfield.
