"Thomas Relf, at first a prominent inhabitant, was divorced from his wife Elizabeth Desborough in 1650, leaving the colony, so that his estate was settled as though he were dead, and his widow afterwards, in October 1651, married John Johnson. Relf fled to Rhode Island, the cave of Adullam in those days; married again, and died there in 1682."
