  1. 2.  Leonard W. Kettell was born Between Oct 1866 and 1868, RI; died 1950; was buried , Plainland Cemetery, Harkney Hill Rd., Coventry, RI.

    Notes:

    In the 1870 Federal Census, he is Leonard W. Hall, age 2, living with Stephen H. & Angeline F. Kettle. Angeline's maiden name was Hall, so apparently Leonard was born before her marriage to Stephen on 18 Nov 1869. (Stephen Kettle: 12 May 1846 - 9 Jan 1938)

    In 1880 he is Leonard W. Kettle.

    In 1910 he is widowed, living with daughter Bertha in Morgan Mills, Johnston, RI, next door to brother-in-law George Whitford and family.

    Leonard married Abby E. Whitford 5 Feb 1888, Scituate, RI. Abby (daughter of Charles W. Whitford and Mary Ann Mitchell) was born 19 Jul 1870, RI; died 13 Feb 1905; was buried , Plainland Cemetery, Harkney Hill Rd., Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Children:

  1. 6.  Charles W. WhitfordCharles W. Whitford was born 22 Sep 1841, RI (son of William N. Whitford and Avis Wilbour); died 21 Feb 1923; was buried , Plainland Cemetery, Harkney Hill Rd., Coventry, RI.

    Notes:

    HIs middle name may have been William or Wilbour.

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Charles is listed as Charles C. Whitford, age 8. He is living at West Greenwich with his brother James and widowed father William, in the household with his (assumed) grandmother Sarah (Nichols) Whitford. Also there are Sarah M. Gorton 7, Abby Matteson 52, Sheffield R. Remington 37,and Mary Green 70. Abby Matteson was a midwife.

    He may be the Charles Whitford, age 19, farm laborer, in the 1860 Federal Census, living at Cranston with Silas & Freelove M. Rider, 66 & 52, and Betsey Brayton, 70.

    I believe Charles C. is really Charles W. because in the 1870 Federal Census, Charles W. & Mary A. Whitford, ages 27 & 20, have a woman named Abbie Matteson, 71, living with them in West Greenwich. She appears to be the same woman (the midwife) living in the Whitford household in 1850. In 1870 Charles & Mary have a daughter named Annie G. or J. age 3.

    In 1880 Charles W. & Mary A. Whitford, ages 35 & 30, are living at Warwick, RI. They have five children: Angenett 13, Abby E. 9, George E. 6, Maryetta 5, & William H. 1.

    In 1900 Charles & Mary Ann, ages 55 & 50, are living at Johnston, RI. According to the census data, they have been married 34 years. The census gives Charles's birthdate as Sep 1844, which may or may not be correct. Their son William, age 21, is with them.

    In the 1920 Federal Census, Charles Whitford is age 78, widowed, and living at Johnston, RI, with his son George and family.

    Charles & Mary Ann are the ancestors of Ray Whitford who in recent years has cleaned up the Whitford Cemetery on Weaver Hill Road next to the old Whitford farm.

    Charles married Mary Ann Mitchell Abt 1866. Mary (daughter of Benjamin Mitchell and Phebe Unknown) was born Jul 1849, RI; died 5 Jun 1910; was buried , Plainland Cemetery, Harkney Hill Rd., Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]
