In 1666 he moved from Newport, Rhode Island to Westerly, Rhode Island.
A list of free inhabitants of the town of Westerly on 18 May 1669
included: "Tobias Saunders 17 lot".
CONNECTICUT NUTMEGGER: Vol. 29, No. 4, pp 583-588. Paul A. Saunders,
"The English Origins of Tobias Saunders of Westerly, RI".
The following information concerning Tobias Saunders is from "The
First Hundred Years -- Pawcatuck Seventh Day Baptist Church"; Utter
Co.; Westerly, R.I.; 1940; pp 284-85.
"Tobias Saunders first appears in the records of Taunton, Mass., in
1643 and is thought to have died in 1695, as his will was proved on
the second of September in that year. Although he was a member of the
first Seventh Day Baptist Church in America at Newport, his ancestor,
Rev. Lawrence Saunders, was not known to have been a Sabbath-keeper.
He was one of the Christian martyrs burned to death outside the city
of Coventry, England, on Sabbath Day, February 9, 1555.
Tobias Saunders was a soldier of the King in old England and at one
time was one of the King's Life Guard. He was made a freeman in
Newport in 1655 and on September 9, 1661, received a quarter of a
share in the division of the land at Misquamicut, as Westerly was then
called. Almost immediately he was in the midst of trouble as he, his
father-in-law [NOTE: see notes for his wife, Mary PECKHAM, not
CLARKE], Joseph Clarke, and Robert Burdick laid claim to Southertown
(Southertown included the later limits of the town of Stonington [CT]
and much of Westerly) which both Connecticut and Massachusetts claimed
as theirs. All three were arrested November 1, 1661, by William
Palmer, constable, but Joseph Clarke was freed later.
Saunders and Burdick were both placed on trial before Governor
Endicott and associates November 14, 1661, in Boston. Their defense
was that they had bought the land from the Indians by the authority of
the Court of Rhode Island. Bonds were set at one hundred pounds each
and in the absence of surety, they were committed to prison for trial
in May 1662. At that time they were fined forty pounds each and Rhode
Island was notified to send in the fines, but they were kept in jail
two years.
Later Connecticut was given a new charter giving Southertown to her
and Massachusetts retired from the contest. Still later a compromise
was reached in England whereby Connecticut relinquished her claim to
the disputed territory in Westerly to Rhode Island. Tobias Saunders,
Robert Burdick, Joseph Clarke, and John Crandall were a few of the
strong men of their day who stood steadfast, endured persecution and
imprisonment not only because of the land disputes but also on account
of the religious freedom guaranteed to the residents of Rhode Island,
but not vouchsafed to the Connecticut settlers where the Puritan
church was to all intents the State religion.
Tobias Saunders was a deputy to the General Assembly of Rhode Island
from Westerly many terms and was active in the Westerly congregation
of the Newport church ..."
Lyle S. Saunders
NOTE: Three of his daughters died of smallpox as adults.

Shortly after their marriage Selah and Rebecca bought land in the town
of Mayfield, New York. Selah is mentioned with seventeen others as
heads of families to whom Sir William Johnson and Dan Claus sold land
in the vicinity of Mayfield. Others mentioned were Solomon Woodworth,
Simeon Christie, Jacob Dunham and Canfield.
After a few years Selah and his family returned to Connecticut. He
became a sergeant in Capt. Little's company in the 3rd New York
Regiment under Col. Fisher and participated in the Battle of Oriskany.
After the war he brought his family back to Mayfield. He was elected
the first town Supervisor in 1794 and held that position almost
continuously until 1805.
