    Notes:

    This family information was gleaned from cross-referencing three sources: Arnold's Vital Records, Beaman's Vital Records, and the RI Cemetery Database. Benjamin's will names all the children and some of the grandchildren (TiP 10:114-119). There may also be another daughter, Anna, born 17 June 1789; however, this may just be another name for Nancy, as Nancy was frequently used as a nickname for Ann or Anna. If there was another daughter named Anna, then she died before the will was written, 1827-1831. The son Benjamin, b. 1783, had a daughter named Mary A. (our ancestor); her son, Benjamin F. Remington, had a daughter named Mary Anna.

    Benjamin Hambly, Jr. settled in the northern part of Tiverton, RI, where he cleared land, built a house, and farmed. There he grew flax and raised sheep. He was a weaver by trade. All the clothes -- including shoes -- worn by him and the family were made on the farm, by the family.

    Thirteen children were born to Benjamin & Elizabeth, including one set of twins (Gardner & Amy). Benjamin died on his farm at the age of 75.

    According to the private journal of Elder Peleg Burroughs of Tiverton, a Minister of the Gospel, "on the 8th day of September A. D. 1780 -- Preached at B. Hambly's upon Psalm 107:31 (O that men would praise xc) married John Manchester to M.F. and stayed all night at Bro. Davenports." (from the Revolutionary War Pension file of John Manchester who married Mary Fish)
