  2. 3.  Mary Sophia Unknown was born Abt 1879, Scotland.

    Notes:

    In the Federal Census of 1920, Mary "Whitman" is a widow age 41, living at 710 Mineral Spring Ave., Pawtucket, Providence Co., RI. With her are her two daughters, Mabel O. 6, and Annie M. 5. Census data says she immigrated to the US in 1893.

    They are living next to Robert Whitman and family. I don't believe they are related to Mary's husband's family, at least not closely. Robert is a descendant of Joseph & Hannah Whitman.

    Children:
    1. Mabel O. Wightman was born Abt 1913, RI.
    2. 1. Annie McGregor Wightman was born 1914, RI.


Generation: 3

  1. 4.  Samuel Wightman was born Mar 1841, NY (son of Allen Wightman and Amanda V. Unknown); died Aft 1 Jun 1900.

    Notes:

    In the Federal Census of 1870, Samuel is 27 NY and Sarah F. is 24 MA. They are living at North Providence, Providence Co., RI. Samuel is a stable keeper. Samuel's married sister Josephine Almy is also living in the same town.

    In the Federal Census of 1880, Samuel is 39 NY and Sarah F. is 34 RI. They are living at Pawtucket, Providence Co., RI. Three children are in the household: Mabel O. 2 RI, Charles H. 9 RI, and Maud E. 6 RI. Samuel is a hostler.

    In the Federal Census of 1900, Samuel appears to be a widower age 59, living at 669 Weeden St., Pawtucket, Providence Co., RI. According to census data, he was born in March 1841 NY; parents born NY/MA. He is a teamster. Also in the household are: dtr Josephine 18 RI, son Samuel 17 RI; mother Amanda Parker 88 MA; also three boarders and one housekeeper who seem to be unrelated to the family (this needs more research to confirm).

    Samuel married Sarah F. Unknown Bef 1 Jun 1870. Sarah was born Abt 1846, MA; died Aft 1 Jun 1900. [Group Sheet]

Generation: 4

  1. 8.  Allen Wightman was born 9 Oct 1805, Onondaga Co., NY (son of Aurunah Wightman and Rhoda Unknown); died 25 Jan 1879, Allegany Co., NY; was buried , Allentown Cemetery, Alma, Allegany Co., NY.

    Notes:

    In the Federal Census of 1850, the Wightman family is living at Bolivar, Allegany Co., NY: Allen 45 NY (lumberman), Amanda V. 33 RI, Aurelia 16 NY, Samuel 12 NY, Josephine 10 NY, Allen 7 NY, & Caroline A. 4 NY; also Isaac D. Smith 33 NY.

    In the Federal Census of 1860, Allen Wightman 54 NY is listed at Half Moon (Villiage of Eau Claire City), Eau Claire Co., WI. He is working as a blacksmith, apparently staying at a hotel. Two of his married daughters later moved to Eau Claire Co., WI.

    In the Federal Census of 1870, Allen 69 and his son Allen Jr. 27 are living at Alma, Allegany Co., NY. No other family members are listed with them. Allen Sr. works in a shingle mill, and Allen Jr. is a farmer.

    The online cemetery information says Allen was born in Onondaga Co., NY, and died in Allegany Co., NY.

    The 1820 Federal Census lists Arannah Wightman in Onondaga Co., NY. I believe this must be Allen's father, based on his birth location; this agrees with two online family trees (but needs more research to confirm). His name (Arannah or Aurunah) may be written as Aaron in two censuses; the 1830 census shows Aaron Wightman age 60 - 70 at Bolivar, Allegany Co., NY; the 1840 census shows A. Wightman age 70 - 80 at Wirt, Allegany Co., NY.

    In Wellsville, Allegany Co,, NY, there is a Wightman Road, off Rt. 417. No doubt it is named for Allen's family or extended family.

    Allen married Amanda V. Unknown Abt 1833. 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]


  2. 9.  Amanda V. Unknown was born May 1812, RI or MA; died 4 Sep 1901, Providence Co., RI; was buried , Mineral Springs Cemetery, Pawtucket, Providence Co., RI.

    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.
