I have no idea whether or not one of them lived in Rhode Island.However, Rhode Island permitted religious freedom to Quakers whereas most of New England did not.The Randalls of Buckinghamshire were noted for their religious dissent.Many were Lollards prior to the Reformation and became Quakers after the Reformation.To avoid persecusion, many Quakers emigrated to Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and West Jersey.
