Sidney Parker

Notes:

I believe this is Thomas's death information from the RI Cemetery Database:
PARKER THOMAS W 1831 - 7 DEC 1890 PW001 (Mineral Springs Cemetery)

In the Federal Census of 1880, Thomas W. & Amanda Parker, ages 48 & 59, are living at Lincoln, Providence Co., RI. They have a son Sidney 21 RI. I don't know for sure if Sidney is Amanda's biological son, but it a fair assumption.

Amanda was older than Thomas, and it seems that in this census, her age is much younger than she really is, 68.

I have estimated the year of marriage based on Sidney's age.

Thomas married Amanda V. Unknown Abt 1858. Amanda was born May 1812, RI or MA; died 4 Sep 1901, Providence Co., RI; was buried , Mineral Springs Cemetery, Pawtucket, Providence Co., RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I believe this is Amanda's death information from the RI Cemetery Database:
PARKER AMANDA V 1812 - 4 SEP 1901 PW001 (Mineral Springs Cemetery)

It seems that Amanda must have left her first husband Allen in NY State and returned to her home state, where she remarried to Thomas W. Parker and had a son with him (this needs more research to confirm the particulars).

In the Federal Census of 1850, she is Amanda V. Wightman 33 RI, living with Allen and family at Bolivar, Allegany Co., NY.

In the Federal Census of 1880, she appears to be Amanda Parker 59 RI, wife of Thomas W. Parker 48 CT, living at Lincoln, Providence Co., RI.

In the Federal Census of 1900, she is Amanda Parker 88 MA, mother, living with son Samuel Wightman and family at Pawtucket, Providence Co., RI.

The cemetery data shows that she died the following year.
