His daughter Mary, the eldest, was at the close of King Philip's war about forty-three years of age, and the youngest, his son Joseph, was about thirty-two. His brother Robert was a school- master at Newport; but little is known of him, excepting when Roger had his contro- versy with the Quakers there, this brother endeavored to aid him in the discussion, but it was not permitted by the opponents. In May, 1677, he was again elected an assistant in the colonial assembly, but he declined the offi...ce. He continued, however, his watchful interest in the affairs of the colony. He was especially solicitous about the orderly ad- 226 ROGEE Y/ILLIAMS 227 ministration of the government, to check every threatening encroachment, however remote, upon the domain of religious liberty. A few factious citizens raised objections to the pajnuent of the necessary rates, or taxes, which induced him to present to his fellow- townsmen a paper entitled " Considerations touching Rates, " embodying valuable princi- ples of government, and setting forth the duty of every citizen to share the common burdens.
