12. Preface
This book is intended for people who will use Global Positioning Systems (GPS),
Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), and Kalman ®lters. Our objective is to give our
readers a working familiarity with both the theoretical and practical aspects of these
subjects. For that purpose we have included ``real-world'' problems from practice as
illustrative examples. We also cover the more practical aspects of implementation:
how to represent problems in a mathematical model, analyze performance as a
function of model parameters, implement the mechanization equations in numeri-
cally stable algorithms, assess its computational requirements, test the validity of
results, and monitor performance in operation with sensor data from GPS and INS.
These important attributes, often overlooked in theoretical treatments, are essential
for effective application of theory to real-world problems.
The accompanying diskette contains MATLAB2
m-®les to demonstrate the
workings of the Kalman ®lter algorithms with GPS and INS data sets, so that the
reader can better discover how the Kalman ®lter works by observing it in action with
GPS and INS. The implementation of GPS, INS, and Kalman ®ltering on computers
also illuminates some of the practical considerations of ®nite-wordlength arithmetic
and the need for alternative algorithms to preserve the accuracy of the results. If the
student wishes to apply what she or he learns, then it is essential that she or he
experience its workings and failingsÐand learn to recognize the difference.
The book is organized for use as a text for an introductory course in GPS
technology at the senior level or as a ®rst-year graduate level course in GPS, INS,
and Kalman ®ltering theory and application. It could also be used for self-instruction
or review by practicing engineers and scientists in these ®elds.

development and application. Chapters 2±5 and 9 cover the basic theory of GPS and

Chapter 6 gives the basics of INS. Chapter 7 covers linear optimal ®lters,
predictors, and nonlinear estimation by ``extended'' Kalman ®lters. Applications
of these techniques to the identi®cation of unknown parameters of systems are given
as examples. Chapter 8 deals with Kalman ®lter engineering, with algorithms
provided for computer implementation. Chapter 9 covers current developments in
the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) and Local-Area Augmentation
System (LAAS), including Local Area Differential GPS (LADGPS) and Wide-
Area Differential GPS (WADGPS).

Introduction
The ®ve basic forms of navigation are as follows:
1. Pilotage, which essentially relies on recognizing landmarks to know where
you are. It is older than human kind.
2. Dead reckoning, which relies on knowing where you started from, plus some
form of heading information and some estimate of speed.
3. Celestial navigation, using time and the angles between local vertical and
known celestial objects (e.g., sun, moon, or stars) [115].
4. Radio navigation, which relies on radio-frequency sources with known
locations (including Global Positioning System satellites).
5. Inertial navigation, which relies on knowing your initial position, velocity, and
attitude and thereafter measuring your attitude rates and accelerations. It is the
only form of navigation that does not rely on external references.
These forms of navigation can be used in combination as well [16, 135]. The subject
of this book is a combination of the fourth and ®fth forms of navigation using
Kalman ®ltering.
Kalman ®ltering exploits a powerful synergism between the Global Positioning
System (GPS) and an inertial navigation system (INS). This synergism is possible, in
part, because the INS and GPS have very complementary error characteristics.
Short-term position errors from the INS are relatively small, but they degrade
without bound over time. GPS position errors, on the other hand, are not as good
over the short term, but they do not degrade with time. The Kalman ®lter is able to
take advantage of these characteristics to provide a common, integrated navigation

23. implementation with performance superior to that of either subsystem (GPS or INS).
By using statistical information about the errors in both systems, it is able to
combine a system with tens of meters position uncertainty (GPS) with another
system whose position uncertainty degrades at kilometers per hour (INS) and
achieve bounded position uncertainties in the order of centimeters [with differential
GPS (DGPS)] to meters.
A key function performed by the Kalman ®lter is the statistical combination of
GPS and INS information to track drifting parameters of the sensors in the INS. As a
result, the INS can provide enhanced inertial navigation accuracy during periods
when GPS signals may be lost, and the improved position and velocity estimates
from the INS can then be used to make GPS signal reacquisition happen much faster
when the GPS signal becomes available again.
This level of integration necessarily penetrates deeply into each of these
subsystems, in that it makes use of partial results that are not ordinarily accessible
to users. To take full advantage of the offered integration potential, we must delve
into technical details of the designs of both types of systems.
1.1 GPS AND GLONASS OVERVIEW
1.1.1 GPS
The GPS is part of a satellite-based navigation system developed by the U.S.
Department of Defense under its NAVSTAR satellite program [54, 56, 58±63, 96±
98].
1.1.1.1 GPS Orbits The fully operational GPS includes 24 or more (28 in
March 2000) active satellites approximately uniformly dispersed around six circular
orbits with four or more satellites each. The orbits are inclined at an angle of 55
relative to the equator and are separated from each other by multiples of 60
right
ascension. The orbits are nongeostationary and approximately circular, with radii of
26,560 km and orbital periods of one-half sidereal day (11:967 h). Theoretically,
three or more GPS satellites will always be visible from most points on the earth's
surface, and four or more GPS satellites can be used to determine an observer's
position anywhere on the earth's surface 24 h per day.
1.1.1.2 GPS Signals Each GPS satellite carries a cesium and=or rubidium
atomic clock to provide timing information for the signals transmitted by the
satellites. Internal clock correction is provided for each satellite clock. Each GPS
satellite transmits two spread spectrum, L-band carrier signalsÐan L1 signal with
carrier frequency fl ˆ 1575:42 MHz and an L2 signal with carrier frequency
f2 ˆ 1227:6 MHz. These two frequencies are integral multiples f1 ˆ 1540f0 and
f2 ˆ 1200f0 of a base frequency f0 ˆ 1:023 MHz. The L1 signal from each satellite
uses binary phase-shift keying (BPSK), modulated by two pseudorandom noise
(PRN) codes in phase quadrature, designated as the C=A-code and P-code. The L2
2 INTRODUCTION
24. signal from each satellite is BPSK modulated by only the P-code. A brief description
of the nature of these PRN codes follows, with greater detail given in Chapter 3.
Compensating for Propagation Delays This is one motivation for use of two
different carrier signals L1 and L2. Because delay varies approximately as the inverse
square of signal frequency f (delay / f 2
), the measurable differential delay
between the two carrier frequencies can be used to compensate for the delay in
each carrier. (See [86] for details.)
Code Division Multiplexing Knowledge of the PRN codes allows users indepen-
dent access to multiple GPS satellite signals on the same carrier frequency. The
signal transmitted by a particular GPS signal can be selected by generating and
matching, or correlating, the PRN code for that particular satellite. All PRN codes
are known and are generated or stored in GPS satellite signal receivers carried by
ground observers. A ®rst PRN code for each GPS satellite, sometimes referred to as
a precision code or P-code, is a relatively long, ®ne-grained code having an
associated clock or chip rate of 10f0 ˆ 10:23 MHz. A second PRN code for each
GPS satellite, sometimes referred to as a clear or coarse acquisition code or C=A-
code, is intended to facilitate rapid satellite signal acquisition and hand-over to the P-
code. It is a relatively short, coarser grained code having an associated clock or chip
rate f0 ˆ 1:023 MHz. The C=A-code for any GPS satellite has a length of 1023 chips
or time increments before it repeats. The full P-code has a length of 259 days, during
which each satellite transmits a unique portion of the full P-code. The portion of P-
code used for a given GPS satellite has a length of precisely one week (7.000 days)
before this code portion repeats. Accepted methods for generating the C=A-code and
P-code were established by the satellite developer1
in 1991 [42, 66].
Navigation Signal The GPS satellite bit stream includes navigational information
on the ephemeris of the transmitting GPS satellite and an almanac for all GPS
satellites, with parameters providing approximate corrections for ionospheric signal
propagation delays suitable for single-frequency receivers and for an offset time
between satellite clock time and true GPS time. The navigational information is
transmitted at a rate of 50 baud. Further discussion of the GPS and techniques for
obtaining position information from satellite signals can be found in Chapter 3 and
in [84, pp. 1±90].
1.1.1.3 Selective Availability Selective Availability (SA) is a combination of
methods used by the U.S. Department of Defense for deliberately derating the
accuracy of GPS for ``nonauthorized'' (i.e., non±U.S. military) users. The current
satellite con®gurations use only pseudorandom dithering of the onboard time
reference [134], but the full con®guration can also include truncation of the

1.1 GPS AND GLONASS OVERVIEW 3
25. transmitted ephemerides. This results in three grades of service provided to GPS
users. SA has been removed as of May 1, 2000.
Precise Positioning Service Precise Positioning Service (PPS) is the full-
accuracy, single-receiver GPS positioning service provided to the United States
and its allied military organizations and other selected agencies. This service
includes access to the unencrypted P-code and the removal of any SA effects.
Standard Positioning Service without SA Standard Positioning Service (SPS)
provides GPS single-receiver (stand-alone) positioning service to any user on a
continuous, worldwide basis. SPS is intended to provide access only to the C=A-
code and the L1 carrier.
Standard Positioning Service with SA The horizontal-position accuracy, as
degraded by SA, currently is advertised as 100 m, the vertical-position accuracy as
156 m, and time accuracy as 334 nsÐall at the 95% probability level. SPS also
guarantees the user-speci®ed levels of coverage, availability, and reliability.
1.1.2 GLONASS
A second con®guration for global positioning is the Global Orbiting Navigation
Satellite System (GLONASS), placed in orbit by the former Soviet Union, and now
maintained by the Russian Republic [75, 80].
1.1.2.1 GLONASS Orbits GLONASS also uses 24 satellites, but these are
distributed approximately uniformly in three orbital plans (as opposed to four for
GPS) of eight satellites each (six for GPS). Each orbital plane has a nominal
inclination of 64.8
relative to the equator, and the three orbital planes are separated
from each other by multiples of 120
right ascension. GLONASS orbits have smaller
radii than GPS orbits, about 25,510 km, and a satellite period of revolution of
approximately 8
17 of a sidereal day. A GLONASS satellite and a GPS satellite will
complete 17 and 16 revolutions, respectively, around the earth every 8 days.
1.1.2.2 GLONASS Signals The GLONASS system uses frequency division
multiplexing of independent satellite signals. Its two carrier signals corresponding
to L1 and L2 have frequencies f1 ˆ 1:602 ‡ 9k=16† GHz and f2 ˆ
1:246 ‡ 7k=16† GHz, where k ˆ 0; 1; 2; . . . ; 23 is the satellite number. These
frequencies lie in two bands at 1.597±1.617 GHz (L1) and 1240±1260 GHz (L2).
The L1 code is modulated by a C=A-code (chip rate ˆ 0.511 MHz) and by a P-code
(chip rate ˆ 5.11 MHz). The L2 code is presently modulated only by the P-code. The
GLONASS satellites also transmit navigational data at a rate of 50 baud. Because the
satellite frequencies are distinguishable from each other, the P-code and the C=A-
code are the same for each satellite. The methods for receiving and analyzing

nucleus of the Matheson clan. The Romans later gave the name of
Picts to all the North Britain tribes, including the Mseatae. After the
Romans left Britain, in 448, the Picts plundered the Britons. This
unwarlike people appealed to the Saxons in Germany to help them.
The Saxons came, sent the Picts about their business, and gobbled
up Britain for themseh-es. With them began England and English
history. The Picts were no longer savages. They had already picked
up — no pun intended — a few glosses of civilization, when in A. D.
400, Saint Ninian preached the gospel to them and converted the
South Picts. From that time their advance was rapid. But they had
scarcely settled down to peaceful pursuits when a rival nation
appeared contending for Pictavia or Caledonia, as North Britain was
variously called. A few centuries before Ireland had been conquered
by the Gael, said to have been Milesians from Spain. They were a
Celtic people, for they could, though with some diificulty, converse
with the Picts of North Britain. The city of Tara was their capital, and
at Tara's court were gathered an imposing number of bards, sages,
sooth-sayers and law-makers, showing that, though heathen, their
civilization was of a high type for those days. Macfirbis, who died in
1400, quotes one of the old Irish bards as saying of this ruling class
: — Every one who is white of skin, brown of hair, bold, honorable,
daring, prosperous, Ijountiful in the bestowal of property, wealth and
rings, and who is not afraid of battle or combat — is the descendant
of IIilesius in Erinn. This is flattering, but graphic. A. D. 426, Saint
Patrick the Missionary began his labors in Ireland. He was so earnest
and faithful that King Laogaire McNeill became a convert, and the
whole nation followed the King's example. The good bishop spent
the rest of his century or so of life in Ireland. It is said that he
himself baptized more than twelve thousand persons. One of these
was a boy of royal blood, Fergus McEarc, son of Earc (or Ferchard),
King of Meath, the principal kingdom. Patrick was attracted to the
lad and gave him his patriarchal blessing, a circumstance of which
the prince was not a little proud and to which it is said he attributed
much of his good fortune in after days. Fergus raised an army of
28. men to conquer himself a kingdom in the land of the Picts. The Irish
king seems to have helped him, perhaps glad to be rid of so
ambitious a .spirit so near his throne. It was A. D. 503 when the
Irish army crossed the North Channel in their skin boats, and landed
in what is now Argyleshire, Scotland. Fergus went forth prepared
both to conquer and to colonize. He had his priests and his
Seanachaidhe^ men skilled in herbs and remedies. He had his
bards, one set of which chanted
29. ^be 6reene jTaniil^ 267 the laws, and one the chronicles of
the nation. These were his harper-heralds, that led his army into
battle. He had, as his rank required, his Oelamh Fila^ the Master
Poet, whose office requires him to know three hundred and fifty
songs of wars, destructions, adventures and battles, and to have at
his tongue's end poems of Tir Tairiigair, the Land of Promise, and
Magh Mell, the Plain of Honey, the half-heathen, half-christian
Paradise, and the Isle of the Blessed, with a wonderful palace of
glass that floats in the air. Only a ruler could wear the peaked hat of
thin, beaten gold ; but the Oelanili Fila might wear the fringed and
6color robe, lawful beside but for the king to STONB OF- SCONE IN
CORONATION CHAIR wear. These high honors show the control
exercised over Erin's rude warriors by the learned class of that day.
According to most authorities, Fergus McEarc carried with him also a
sacred stone from Tara. According to others it was brought to lona
fiftyeight years later by Saint Columba. To the modern eye it is but a
slab of dull red sand-stone, twenty-six inches long, sixteen inches
broad, and ten inches thick. But this inanimate stone has played no
small part in history. In after years fabulous stories gathered about
it. It was said to have been the stone upon which Jacob pillowed his
head when he saw the vision of angels ascending and descending a
ladder from Heaven. It was claimed the stone was carried from
Palestine to Egypt by the Prophet Jeremiah,* who e. by William
Ellery Cu
30. 26S tEbe (5reene jfamil^ acted as a guardian of the
Princess Circa or Scola, who fled to that land shortly after her father,
King Zedekiah, was taken captive to Babylon, B. C. 580. The story
goes that Princess Circa went from Egypt to Ireland, where refugees
from the lost ten tribes had already established themselves. She
took the precious stone with her because all her ancestors, the kings
of Israel, had been crowned upon it. She married a royal prince, and
from her time all the Irish kings were crowned upon it to the time of
Fergus McEarc, who carried it to Scotland. Still another account of
this Holy Pillar of Jacob, is that Hiber or Iber, the Phoenician,
came from Palestine and Egypt to Spam, bringing the relic. F'rom
there he came with Miletus, and helped to conquer Ireland, which is
sometimes called Hibernia in his name. Whatever its real history it
was venerated as sacred. It was called the Stone of Scone, because
the Scotch Kings were crowned on it at Scone, and Lia Fail, i. e., the
Stone of Destiny, because it was held to insure the supremacy of the
kingdom that possessed it. In 1296, Edward I., King of England,
captured the stone from its shrine at Scone, and carried it to
England, where he had a magnificent cornation chair built to receive
it. Every English monarch since then has been crowned at
Westminster Cathedral, sitting upon the sacred stone that Fergus
McEarc brought across the channel fourteen hundred years ago.
King Fergus wrested West Scotland from the Picts, and founded the
kingdom of Dalriada, or New Scotia. Tradition says both he and his
son Eugenius were slain in battle. Half a century later a son of the
royal Irish house became a missionary priest. This Columba, or
Colum Ceille, sailed away to the new kingdom across the sea in 563.
The king then upon the throne was Conal, a greatgrandson of
Fergus. Columba asked of King Conal, and of King Brude of the rival
Pict nation, a grant of the quiet little island of lona, that he might
build a monastery and a priests' college there. His favor was
granted, and he immediately erected his ecclesiastical buildings.
What lona did for Scotland is beyond computation. For centuries it
was, as Dr. Johnson has said, The luminary whence savage clans
and roving barbarians derived the benefits of knowledge and the
31. blessings of religion. King Brude himself, and all of the North Picts,
were yet heathen. He granted Columba permission to preach before
him, but connived at his pagan priests and sages raising an infernal
din as soon as the sermon began. Columba had a voice of
extraordinary compass. He immediately chanted the forty-fifth Psalm
in a voice so clear and loud that all the shrieks and yells of the Picts
could not drown it. King Brude thought it a miracle and at once, with
all his people, embraced Christianity. This good priest of the royal
32. ^be (5reene JTamii^ 269 house we are tracing did a
wonderful, noble and lasting work. And he died, as became his life,
on his knees at prayer. The two lines of Dalriada and Pict Kings were
both now Christians. None the less they remained rivals at perennial
war between themselves. Neither was able to expel the other, but
for two centuries or more the Pict kings were the stronger. The
history of these Pict kings is most obscure. Sir Walter Scott in the
sixth chapter of The Antiquary touches off in ludicrous fashion the
unpronounceable names of some of their kings, — Trynel McLachlin,
Drust McTallargam, Golarge McChanannail and Eachan JMcFungus,
that made Sir Arthur sneeze but to speak them. Whereupon
sarcastic Jonathan Oldbuck put in a fling about numbering in
genealogy all the brawling, bulletheaded since the days of
Crenttreminachcryme, — not one of whom could write his own name
! Occasionally a name stands out with more distinctness. There
was another King Brude, who in 685 killed the English King Egfred in
battle, and gained great victories. There was pious King Nectan, who
held great religious councils, and built churches. After him, in 730,
came King Angus McFergus, the most actie of all. He conquered his
rival. King Selvach, of Dalriada. The fortunes of the Scottish or
Delriada kings were at low ebb, indeed. Not far from A. D. 800,
Alpine came to the weak Scotch throne. He was both a warrior and
statesman. He had the sagacity to see there could never be peace
with two royal houses to claim the same territory. Having obtained
an advantage over the Picts, he compelled their king to give him the
Pictish crown princess in marriage. The Pictish crown descended
each time through a daughter. The oldest son of the oldest daughter
inherited the crown from his grandfather, instead of it going to the
kings' sons. Alpine's heir was Kenneth, and Kenneth was, of course,
the heir through his mother to the Pict Kingdom. King Kenneth
succeeded his father in 836. Seven years later he succeeded the old
Pict King, and the two kingdoms were united. It was Kenneth's
policy to incorporate the Picts with the Dalraida, henceforth known
solely as the Scotch, and their land as Scotland. It is said the
Highland dress owes all its distinctive features to the Picts, and that
33. the red hair and grey eyes, so often seen in Scotchmen, are from
the Picts, also. On the other hand their language and customs gave
way to the Irish. Kenneth was a lineal descendant from Fergus
McEarc of more than 300 years before. So far as we know, the
oldest tribe among the Picts was the Maeatae. It was a particularly
warlike tribe also. It is reasonable that from this old and heroic clan
the royal line should spring. When the two peoples were merged
together, the king's own lines would be naturally placed
34. 270 ^be (Breene jfamil^ together in one royal clan. That
there was such a royal line we know, which was called the Clan of
McAlpine, in honor of King Kenneth's father. The Mathesons were a
division or snb-clan of this. Their tradition has ever been that they
were of markedly royal blood; their name means sons of heroes,
and is apparently derived from the obsolete term of Mseatse itself. It
is supposed, therefore, that they are descendants of the royal Pict
clan, intermarried with the McAlpine line until equally of their own
blood alsoAll of the Scotch kings are descended from Kenneth, as
are also all of the English kings from James I. The King of England
counts among his progenitors the Pict and early Scotch Kings. These
far-away kings, however, are as truly the fore-fathers of those who
bear the Matheson or Mattison name as they are of England's royal
family. A Scotch clan consists of tribesmen who intermarry until the
humblest of the clan has of the blood of the head of the clan who
gave it its name. Clan pride was great. The old Scotch traced their
kinship to fourteenth coiisins, or five hundred years to a common
ancestor. The head of each clan was called The ]IcIntosli, The
McDonald, The Matheson, etc. His word was law, above the king's
own. When the chief would summon his men to war, he took a cross
of wood, marked it with fire and blood, then gave it to the first man
he met, naming a day and the field of rendezvous. He who received
the fiery cross fled as though for his life, until he reached another
one of the tribe, to whom he gave the cross and message. The
largest clan in this way was assembled in two days' time. In time a
large clan divided into sub-clans, who never, however, forgot their
common tie. The royal clan of IMcAlpine divided into the sub-clans
of McGregor, Grant, ]IcKinnon, McNab, McPhie, McOuarie, ]IcAuley
and Matheson. They had many customs in common, and all wore in
battle or parade the clan badge, a sprig of pine or Scotch fir. Scott in
his Lady of the Lake, that has for its motif the pride and power of
the McAlpine chief, put this song of the pine in the mouth of a
hundred clansmen, as they sing of their chief, Rhoderic Dhu. Hail
to the chief who in triumph advances ! Honored and blest be the
ever-green Pine ! Long may the tree, in his banner tliat glances.
35. Flourish, the shelter and grace of our line ! Heaven send it happy
dew. Earth lend it sap anew, Gayly to bourgeon and broadiy to grow,
While every Highland glen Sends our shout back again, ' Roderigh
Vich Alpine dhu, ho! ieroe ! '
36. Sbe (Breene Jfainil^ 271 Ours is no sapling, cliance-sown
by tiie tount.iin. Blooming at Beltane, in winter to fade : When the
whirlwind has stripped every leaf on the mountain. The more shall

Mentieth arid Breadalbane, then. Echo his praise again, ' Roderigh
Vich Alpine dliu, ho ! ieroe ! ' * The seat of the Matheson clan is
supposed to have been in the Highlands of Rosshire, in Northern
Scotland. They had their own clan music that their bag-pipers
played, and they rushed into battle with a wild cathghainn or battle
cry, '■'■ Dail acha'n da t/iear tiai f'' — The field between two hills !
This was their clan rendezvous, a valley plain where they always
assembled to muster for warfare, for every ]Iatheson believed that
illluck would attend them did they muster elsewhere. They had their
own tartan plaid, that only a Matheson might wear, and the men
wore buskins, or short boots of deer-skin after a pattern of their
own. For hundreds of years they had their great clan gatherings, a
feature of which was the dancing of the clansmen. Expert dancers
not only could do the spring, as the Scotch say, in reel, fling and
strathspery, but could wind through the intricate step of Kemshoal,
Kemkossy, Lamatrast, Kenbradenoch and forgladlu. After the
Reformation the clan embraced the most straight-laced
Presbyterianism. Under James I., about 1608, there was a great
emigration of the Scotch to Ulster, in the northern part of Ireland.
Some of that branch of the family in which those who read this
sketch are interested, were among the number. It was two
grandsons of these emigrants that came to New England in the early
days, and whose descendants are now so numerous. One of these
came to R. I., probably about 1668. This was Henry Matteson, born
in Ireland, Oct.. 1646. He married Hannah Parsons, and became the
head of a large line that has largely intermarried with the house of
Greene. A large part of the Josiah ^Matteson line adopted the
spelling and pronunciation of ]Mathewson. President James ]Iadison
was of Scotch-Irish ancestry also. At the time of his election, a part
of the family, because he was the most eminent of the blood,
37. adopted his form of the name in compliment to him. But Matteson,
Mathewson or jMadison, all are of the same general descent. There
was a James ilatteson who came to R. I. before 1650. His de* Black
Eoderiek. descendant of Alpine, hurrah !
38. 272 tlbe (Breene family scendants are yet about Newport,
and southern R. I. His line was easily enough traced, but as it has
not intermarried either with the Henry Matteson branch, or the
Greene's, it is not given. He is supposed to have been the uncle of
Henry Matteson. Many have asked for a genealogical table of the
Mattesons. I will give the men of the family for the first three
generations, and sometimes beyond that. Almost any one of the
Mattesons can trace their ancestry back to Revolutionary times, so
that this will be ample for them to complete their l^edigree. Henry,
the father, born in 1646 in Ireland. Married Hannah, daughter of
Hugh Parsons and his wife Elizabeth, widow of Wm. English. Henry

or princes to fall back upon in this line, or even lords. Nevertheless it
has given to the world President Pierce, Susan B. Anthony and Gen.
Nathaniel Greene, which is glory enough for one line. It has
furnished progenitors for the Pierce, Wardvvell, Anthony, Waite,
Slocum and Hill families. The entire line of Lieut. John Greene is
descended from them, through Abigail Wardwell, his wife. I confess
the old records are tantalizingly obscure and chopped off. It has
taken long and patient study to weld the links together. There may
be minor errors, but practically this account is correct. Both lines
have been hard to trace because pronounced and written so many
different ways. Wardwell is the correct form of the name of the
Welsh-English line. It is an old compound word meaning the guard's
spring, pointing to the feudal landmark near which the first name-
bearer lived. We find the name recorded in English, Welsh, ]Mass.
and R. I. records under 24 different spelling, viz.: Wardwell, Woodall,
Udall, Warrell, Woddle, Warden, Wordell, Wardall, Werdell. Woddall,
Waddall, Wadle, Wadell, Wardel, Wardayle, Werdall, Woddell,
Worrall, Udell, Wriddell, Warrall, Wodell, Wadel and Wadall. Lascelle,
the other original line, was French. When the name-bearer came to
England, pronouncing the name as he did, with his Frenchy slurred
consonants, and burry accent on the terminal syllable celle, his
English neighbors in despair gave him various names ending in
sounds of zell, sell, or sail, [Mitchell's History of Bridgewater.] It
became Hazell, Hazeal, La Zelle, La Zalle, Yazell, Youzell. Yousiel,
45. Uzzell, Uzel, Uzzall, Uzal, Usal, Usual, Lasell, and Uzzele ; or as
Savage in his Genealogical Dictionary of New England says, after
enumerating five U-capitaled variations, or any other outlandish
name ! The Wardwell line, and Lieut. John Greenebranch of the
Wardwell line, adopted Lascelle as a given name, and for seven
generations used it and spelled it every possible wild way that could
commence with a capital U or Y.
46. 2 76 ^be (Breenc J'amil^ About A. D. 1480, one Ithell, of
North Wales, married a Miss Pierce. They had a son, Pierce Ithell,
whose daughter Mary was m. about 1540, to Richard Woodall, Udall,
Woddall, Worrell, or Wardwell, of Warwick, England. One of their
sons. Dr. John Wardell, and a grandson, who crossed the ocean in
1594, had much to do with early Virginia settlements. An older son,
William, was married by 1565 to Meribe Lascelle, the daughter of a
French couple, Gershom and INIeribe Lascelle. Reading between the
lines of the records, it is evident that the Frenchman came to
England with his wife and family of grown chil dren about 1560 at
the first muttering of the storm that finally broke into bloody wrath
against the Huguenots, or French Protestants. Gershom had many
namesakes for more than a century, and Meribe, her name
anglicized into Meriba or Meribah and Meribeth, still has her
namesakes scattered over New England. The next two generations
of the family intermarrieil with the Slocuins, Kings, Waites and Hills.
Their names were so peculiarly odd and Frenchy, that they can
almost be traced by that alone. Anteres, another daughter of these
Huguenot refugees, married a Pierce. There is more about her line in
Chapter XXIV. There was a good deal of restlessness in the blood of
these allied families. Before the New England settlement some of the
Pierces and Wardwells went to Virginia, where the older generation
of the Wardwell's had investments. Some of these then drifted to the
Barbadoes, where later we read of one of the Pierces owning many
acres of land and 80 slaves. All of the Lascelle- Wardwell line seem
to have been Independents in religious matters, and under religious
oppression quite ready to cross the sea for conscience's sake. Some
of the Pierces were in Plymouth in 1623. And rebelling against
Laud's tyranny about a score of the allied families of this line came
to Mass. in 1633-5. There were three great-grandsons of Gershom
Lascelle and Richard Wardwell among these. Two of them, William^
and Thomas^ were brothers, sons of Lascelle WardwelP. The other
was their cousin, William*', son of Gershom Wardwelll The fathers of
these men, Lascelle and Gershom, were sons of William^ and
Meribe Lascelle the younger, mentioned in a precedingparagraph.
47. William, son of Gershom, went to Portsmouth, R. I., and became a
Friend. Two of his daughters married Anthonys, one of them,
F'^rances, who married John Anthony, became the fore-mother of
Susan B. Anthony. Thomas of Boston was the father of SamueP. This
Samuel's wife, Sarah Hawkes, in a fit of religious enthusiasm, in
order to mortify the flesh, appeared at church one day in the
costume that Eve wore in the garden of Eden. The town authorities
had her soundly whipped for it. When
48. Zbe 6reene JTamiii? 277 the witchcraft excitement broke
out in 1692, Sarah Hawkes-Wardwell and her daughter were both
arrested as witches. Badly frightened, they said it was Samuel, the
husband and father, who had been bewitching people. He denied it,
but was hung Sept. 20, 1697, as an impenitent v.-itch and
possessor of a familiar spirit. William, of Boston, brother to Thomas,
was born in 1610. Came to the colonies in 1633, as Our brother,
Edmund Quincey's servant, (Church records.) He married Alice and
had 5 children, of whom the second was Uzel (Lascelle), b. April 7,
1639. When the church banished Rev. Mr. Wheelwright for heresy,
William, for being too friendly with him had his arms and freeman's
privileges taken from him for a time. William died either at Wells or
Boston in 1670. One of the entries in the Wells records gravely
assigns a pew in the church to him, To sitt in ye sixth of ye men's
long seats in consideration that his son Elihu sitt in ye same seat.
William of Boston's two sons, Uzel and Elihu Wardwell, both served
in King Philip's War, 1675-6, as the Mass. archives show. Uzel, the
ancestor of all of Lieut. John Greene's line (of Chapter XV) served
under Capt. Nicholas Paige, and the state of Mass. still owes him for
his services, 5^, los ($25.00). [Mass. Archives, vol. 68.] Uzel was m.
May 3, 1664, when 25, to the young widow of Daniel Ringe, Mary
Kinsman-Ringe. They lived at both Bristol and Ipswich, Mass. At the
latter place, Abigail, their oldest child, b. Oct. 27, 1665, was married
at 19 to Lieut. John Greene of R. I. I shall not attempt to give of the
other W^ardwells, except to say that William of R. I. also had a
Uzel, born the same year as the Mass. Uzel. He married Grace and
their lines are entirely different. I will not attempt to trace in this the
Kings, Pierces, Motts or Slocums. One other line needs to be spoken
of. Another child of William and Meribe Wardell was Rosanna, who
married Waite. They had several children who came to the Colonies,
Alelutable, the oldest, who married Richard Hill, of William, and was
left a widow soon after coming to the new country ; Richard Waite,
born in 1596, Gambiel, b. in 1598, and Thomas, b. 1601. All of these
came about the height of the Anti-Laud emigration. One of the sons,
Thomas, went to Portsmouth, R. I., in 1639, and from him all the R.
49. I. Waites are descended. D. Byron Waite's Waite Genealogy takes
up their history, so it need not be given here. There were a number
of the Hills came at the same time that Richard Hill and his wife
Mehitable did. A nephew of Richard's, Valentine Hill, (of John of
William), a wealthy and prominent man of Boston and Dover, Mass.,
was the head of a line from whom Frances E. Willard, that peerless
50. 2 78 ^be (Breene fmm^ soul and apostle of temperance,
was seventh in descent. All of the lines of Wealthy John and Usal
Greene (Chapter XV, XVI, XVII) can claim blood kin to her — an
honor greater than kinship to a queen. Richard, who died in 1639,
left two children that concern us, John and Rose (Rosanna), both
born in 1613, and who came together to the colonies. John married
Frances, and lived at the Great Lotts i. e. Dorchester, Mass. Their
oldest son was born about 1638. He married while yet in his teens
Mary , and removed to Portsmouth, R. I. Here Jonathan, Jr. was
born in 1657, '^° '^ nineteen year old father. Jonathan, Jr. was the
father of Patience Hill who married Daniel Pierce. See Chapter XXVI.
He was also the father of Caleb, Ebenezer and Thomas, all heads of
R. I. Hills, and probably of Capt. John Hill, also. Jonathan Hill's
second son, Henry, brother to Jonathan Jr. of above paragraph, was
born Jan. 24, 1661. He was the father of Ann Hill, and Susanna Hill,
who married the brothers Wealthy John and Usal Greene, Esther
Hill who married John Nichols, and IMary Hill who married William
Nichols. Rosanna Hill, the emigrant, undoubtedly married Stukeley
Westcott. They were both old friends at Great Torrington, England,
and nearly the same age. Stukeley's descendants carried the name
of Rosanna down for a half-dozen generations. For more than 100
years the name was never found in R. I. records e.xcept in families
that sprang from the Westcotts. Stukeley and his wife followed
Roger Williams to Providence, 1636. (See Chapter VI.) They had
Amos, who m. two Stafford sisters, Jeremiah, who m. Ellen England,
the step-daughter of his father's cousin, Hugh Parsons — see
Chapter XX — Robert, who m. Catherine , Mercy, who m. Sam.
Stafford, and Damaris, who m. Benedict Arnold. All these became
heads of prominent families, THE WAITE FAMILY Rognvald, Jarl
(earl) of More, was a friend of Jarl Harald Haarfagar JiiVJ* (Harold
the beautiful haired). But when Harald in 872 ^*^^fe ^ made
himself king of Norway, he put down Rognvald and ''^ * ^ ^ all the
other jar Is, with a high hand. One of Jarl Rognvald's sons was
Ganger Rolf (Ralph), also called Rollo, and Rolf the Dane. Deprived
of his dominion, Rollo entered upon a gigantic scale of roving,
51. plundering piracy. Harald coAT-oP-AKMs gxpellcd him. Rollo with his
followers, A. D. 876, sailed to France and compelled the king to cede
a large territory to him. Here he settled with his followers, becoming
the first duke of Normandy. After him in succession came William,
Richard and then another Rich
