Notes:

The Henry Straight Genealogy lists 10 children for this couple, including a son named Remington Straight (also in Beaman's RIVR, NS). I wonder what the Remington connection is in this family, other than a daughter having married a Remington.

In the 1850 Federal Census, David Strait is age 67 and living at West Greenwich, RI. With him is Freelove, age 59. Is she a second wife, or a companion? WG marriages do have a marriage of David Straight & Freelove Potter in 1847, so I am making an assumption that this pertains to this particular David Straight.

In the 1860 Federal Census, he is still at West Greenwich. Phebe Fiske is with him, a housekeeper. She is most likely his sister, Phebe (Straight) Fiske, 1781c - 27 JAN 1871.

David married Phebe Franklin 13 Oct 1800, West Greenwich, RI. Phebe (daughter of John Franklin) was born Abt 1781; died 14 Mar 1838; was buried , Strait-Wood Lot, Pond View Court, West Greenwich, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

According to the marriage record, Phebe was d/o of John, of Scituate.

STRAIT, PHEBE (FRANKLIN) 1781c - 14 MAR 1838 WG043 (from RI Cemetery Database)

Notes:

Straight David, Jr., of West Greenwich, and Phebe Franklin, of John, of Scituate; m. by Elder Charles Stone, Oct. 13, 1800.

David married Mary Aylesworth 12 Feb 1766, West Greenwich, RI. Mary (daughter of David Aylesworth) was born Abt 1744; died 10 Mar 1819; was buried , Strait-Wood Lot, Pond View Court, West Greenwich, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

STRAIT, MARY ([AYLESWORTH]) 1744c - 10 MAR 1819 WG043 (from RI Cemetery Database)

Notes:

I have made an assumption that this birthdate for John at Scituate belongs to the father of Phebe, who was "of Scituate" when she was married.
