    Notes:

B. 10, Pardon D. 7, Dimes R. 5, & Solomon W. 3. I am not sure if all of these children belong to both of these parents. They are next door, or with, Solomon Brown and family, probably Sarah's parents and siblings.

    Nicholas married Sarah Greene Brown 30 Jan 1842. Sarah (daughter of Solomon Brown and Russel Austin) was born Abt 1819, West Greenwich, RI; died 2 Apr 1886, RI; was buried , Woodland Cemetery, Washington & Knotty Oak Sts., Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]

Generation: 3

  1. 4.  Whitman Harrington was born Abt 1805, RI (son of Job Harrington, III and Meribah Whitford); died 21 Jul 1885; was buried , Woodland Cemetery, Washington & Knotty Oak Sts., Coventry, RI.

    Notes:

    The RI Death Index identifies his parents as Job & Meribah.

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Whitman & Dameris are living at West Greenwich, RI. With them are Mary A. & Jobe W. Next door are Bradford J. Harrington & Rosanna.

    In 1860 Whitman & Demie are still at West Greenwich. In the household are Job W., 17 (son), as well as three grandchildren: William H. 14, Benjamin A. 7, & Charles W. 4. Also there is a member of the Sweet family.

    In the 1870 Federal Census, Whitman & Dimaris are ages 55 & 56, still at West Greenwich. He is a farmer and she is keeping house. It looks as if they may be keeping the town Poor House.

    In 1880, Whitman & Damares are ages 75 & 76, still at West Greenwich. With them are son Job, in addition to three grandsons and two granddaughters, plus one servant.

    Whitman married Dameras "Demie" Straight Abt 1821. Dameras (daughter of David Straight, Jr. and Phebe Franklin) was born 13 Jan 1804, RI; died 29 Apr 1881; was buried , Woodland Cemetery, Washington & Knotty Oak Sts., Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]


  2. 5.  Dameras "Demie" Straight was born 13 Jan 1804, RI (daughter of David Straight, Jr. and Phebe Franklin); died 29 Apr 1881; was buried , Woodland Cemetery, Washington & Knotty Oak Sts., Coventry, RI.

    Notes:

    Her name has been spelled several different ways. The gravestone has it as "Dameras." The censuses, from 1850 to 1880, spell it as follows: Dameris, Demie/Dimie, Dimaris, & Damares.

    Probably her name was really Damaris, an Bible name often used in early Rhode Island, and her nickname was Demmie or Dimmie.

    Her grandmother Mary Aylesworth had a sister named Damaris, so this was probably a name passed down in this family line.

    Job married Meribah Whitford 14 Oct 1781, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI. Meribah (daughter of Nicholas WHITFORD and Susannah CARR) was born Abt 1763, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI; died 5 Sep 1849; was buried , Job Harrington Lot, Division St., West Greenwich, RI. [Group Sheet]


  2. 9.  Meribah Whitford was born Abt 1763, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI (daughter of Nicholas WHITFORD and Susannah CARR); died 5 Sep 1849; was buried , Job Harrington Lot, Division St., West Greenwich, RI.

    Notes:

    Rebecca Carr Harrington was Meribah's aunt, so it is a reasonable assumption that Meribah married her first cousin.

    Notes:

    One of the marriage records in Arnold's "Vital Record of RI" gives her name as Merebah; the other says Meribah.

    Children:
    1. Ebenezer Harrington was born Abt 1782.
    2. Aaron Harrington was born 30 May 1786, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI; died 23 Apr 1876, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI.

    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.
