Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Simeon Whitford was born 1 May 1829, Exeter. RI (son of Amos Whitford, Jr. and Amey Whitford); died 22 Aug 1903; was buried , Perryville Church Cemetery, South Kingstown, RI.

    Notes:

    According to his obituary, Simeon & Amey had 13 children, 5 boys and 8 girls. I have a family picture which I believe includes the parents and all 13 children; however, I am missing the name of one daughter, probably born early 1880s. I would guess the picture was taken c 1888 - 1890, perhaps a 60th birthday (Simeon, 1889) or anniversary portrait (1890).

    In the Federal Census of 1880, the family is living at South Kingstown, RI; there are 11 children.

    In 1900 they are still at South Kingstown; three daughters and the youngest son are with the parents.

    Simeon married Amy Ann Cary 19 Dec 1860. Amy (daughter of Charles Cary and Amy Ann Tillinghast) was born May 1840, CT; died 22 Aug 1917; was buried , Perryville Church Cemetery, South Kingstown, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    Amy's parents were of Voluntown, CT.

    Some genealogies have her maiden name as Corey. I obtained her name and the names of her parents from an old obituary in the Narragansett Times, 18 Sep 1803 (Simeon Whitford).

    In the Federal Census of 1910, Amy A. Whitford is a widow age 69, living at South Kingstown, RI. According to census data, she has had 13 children, all of whom are still living.
