Miss Fredrica Denison was a descendant of Roger Williams through her mother, Amey Randall Manton Denison.
For some time, I thought the Roger Williams line was through her father, Rev. Frederic Denison, because I didn't know how to read her baptismal record at NEHGS.
It pays to revisit past searches because there is a much better explanation of what this "text only" database represents. It is a church member database. Adult baptism is a practice of American Baptists and occurs only when the person professes to believe in Jesus Christ without prompting by an adult.

This is what the record looks like today and below that on the page is what the "original text" means. The B stands for baptism, and the rest is listing of her lineage. This database did confirm what my grandmother told me about her since she was alive in my lifetime.
In fact, my grandmother told me that when my grandfather went to visit Fredrica and told her I was going to be born, she insisted that I be named Frederic or Fredrica. (thank goodness they ignored that)
Fredrica is often spelled with an extra e (Frederica) and of course, the father's name could be spelled with a k.
