Sarah Nichols
1775 - 1861 (86 years)1. Sarah Nichols was born 10 Jan 1775, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI (daughter of William Nichols and Sarah Hall); died 23 Sep 1861, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI; was buried , Levi Whitford Lot, Weaver Hill Rd., West Greenwich, RI. Notes:
In the 1850 Federal Census, Sarah Whitford is age 75, living at West Greenwich, RI. In her household are: William N. Whitford, 54, her son; James A. Whitford, 14; Charles C. Whitford, 8; Sarah M. Gorton, 7, a granddaughter; Abby Matteson, 52; Sheffield R. Remington, 37; and Mary Green, 70. Are all these individuals related in some way? I would like to find out. Nearby is Cyrus W. Remington, age 10, living with the family of Burrill Matteson. Is he a son of Sheffield, who may be widowed?
Cyrus later married and had a son named Levi, so perhaps there is a family relationship with Levi Whitford.
I am going to make an assumption that Sheffield is a younger brother of Sarah's daughter-in-law, Sally Ann (Remington) Whitford. (Although a reasonable assumption, this needs more research to confirm.)Sarah married Ezekiel Whitford 24 Nov 1793, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI.
