Providence, Rhode Island - Tree Root That Ate Roger Williams

I was showing your site to my son and came across the story "The Tree Root That Ate Roger Williams" . My family is from Rhode Island and I am a direct descendent of Roger Williams. It's kind of something my family is proud of. Never heard that story but am thrilled to think that I can actually go back and see my roots -- so to speak. [Les Conklin, 01/10/1998]
