I’m working on something that might be of value to
your readers and they might be able to help expand on it.

I put the names in a database. My idea is to share this
database and have others add to it.

Great resource! And the references lead to this source document: “INDIAN NAMES OF PLACES IN RHODE-ISLAND: COLLECTED BY USHER PARSONS, M. D., FOR THE HISTORICAL SOCIETYof PROVIDENCE: KNOWLES, ANTHONY & CO., PRINTERS. 1861.
