| 7601 | Was her middle name Gifford? Or Gertrude? In the marriage records of her children, Emeline is called Emeline Rounds twice and Emeline Manchester once. The death record identifies her parents as Jeremy & Mary Manchester. | Manchester, Emeline G. (I00915)
|
| 7602 | Was his wife Freelove? Or perhaps his second wife? There was a John Remington of Warwick who died c1745, whose wife Freelove was appointed executrix of his estate on 1 Feb 1745. I have speculated that the following two excerpts from the Warwick land records could refer to this John (courtesy of Cherry Fletcher Bamberg): 11 March 1744/5: Mrs. Freelove Remington, widow of John Remington, late of Warwick, deceased, exhibited an inventory of her husband's estate. The clerk was instructed to give her a letter of administration. [Her administration bond on file in WK] 1 February 1745 at the home of Lt. John Low: Freelove Remington, having given bond, presented an inventory of John Remington's estate and received a letter of administration. In the Blackstone Cemetery in Blackstone, MA, there is a memorial stone which reads: "In memory of John Remington 1680 - 1745 who gave this land to his descendants for a perpetual burial ground" (which I have since come to find out is a mistake). I have made an assumption that this refers to John Remington, b 1680 at Jamestown, RI, son of Joseph according to the Jamestown records. Also near the memorial stone is a smaller stone with the initials J. R. on it. Perhaps this indicates that he was buried there -- but not certain. It could have been another individual with the same initials -- such as his father Joseph, or someone else. There are several other Remington gravestones there (Gershom, John, etc.), as well as other extended family members who married into the Remingtons. However, I haven't yet determined their exact connection back to John b 1680, other than what I have on this family tree. It might help if we knew who his wife was. The Jamestown records are somewhat confusing, but it may be possible to piece together most of the family correctly. We shall see (ongoing research). I have looked at the History of Worcester County and the History of Blackstone, both in the reference section of the Blackstone Library. Neither of them mentions Remingtons, that I could see. | Remington, John (I02895)
|
| 7603 | Was his wife Virginia, whose grave is in Coventry Historical Cemetery 109? | Remington, William H. (I05365)
|
| 7604 | Was she Elizabeth Bowler-Coleman, b.c.1849 and d. 23 June 1927 age 78 (buried in Sutton-in-Ashfield Cemetery)? | Henstock, Elizabeth (I06654)
|
| 7605 | Was there really a Silas in this family, or should this be Sylvia? | Remington, Silas (I19994)
|
| 7606 | Was this a first marriage for her? FONES Martha, and Daniel ------; m. by George Thomas, Justice of Peace; recorded ----. --, 1768, North Kingstown. | Fones, Martha (I21727)
|
| 7607 | Washington Court of Common Pleas, 6 January 1735/36: Thomas Havens, s/o Thomas Havens, of North Kingstown husbandman pla vs Benjamin Northup, Jr., s/o Henry Northup, of North Kingstown yeoman def. If correct, this entry is evidence that Henry had a son named Benjamin, who probably would have been at least age 21 in 1736. However, no son named Benjamin is mentioned in what remains of Henry's will. | Northup, Benjamin (I13927)
|
| 7608 | Washington Remington was one of triplets, all of whom lived to be age 72 or over. In the 1870 Federal Census, Washington & Hannah are living in Smithfield, RI, with his parents. There are three children in the household: Mary E., Susan W., & Ida E. In the 1880 Federal Census, Washington & Hannah are living at North Smithfield, RI, with 2 daughters, a son-in-law, and one grandchild. | Remington, Washington (I05592)
|
| 7609 | Waterman & Mercy were married by Elder John Gorton of the Six Principle Baptist Church, where they also were members. | Family F00731
|
| 7610 | WATERMAN Mary, widow of Stephen, at Scituate, in 80th year; buried at family burial ground, in Cranston. Sermon by Rev. Mr. Cornell, Sept. 17, 1810 | Brown, Mercy (I26623)
|
| 7611 | WATERMAN Nathaniel, at Scituate, in 95th year, Feb. 3, 1790 WATERMAN Nathaniel, at Scituate, in 95th year, many years a member of the Baptist Church, Feb. 3, 1790 | Waterman, Nathaniel (I26597)
|
| 7612 | Waterman Tibbitts and his wife Mercy Waterman were first cousins, both descendents of Roger Williams through his daughter Mercy, who married Resolved Waterman, whose son John Waterman married Anne Olney. Waterman's mother -- Phebe, and Mercy's father -- John, were siblings, children of John and Anne. Waterman & Mercy joined the Six-Principle Baptist Church of East Greenwich together on 16 October 1783. According to author Cherry Fletcher Bamberg, this was 20 years after he contributed money to repair the meetinghouse, and 18 years after being married by Elder Gorton. At 12 o'clock on Christmas Day 1783, there was a church meeting held at "Brother Waterman Tibbitts." Other church meetings were noted as taking place there, also. Later, on 31 April 1787, they were given letters of recommendation to Elder Thomas Manchester's church in Coventry on 31 April 1787. Waterman became clerk of this assembly, the Maple Root Baptist Church, in 1790. According to Bamberg's notes in the book "Elder John Gorton and the Six-Principle Baptist Church of East Greenwich, Rhode Island," he was born 13 April 1741 in Warwick, RI, by his own sworn testimony. He was a lifelong resident of Warwick. His Revolutionary War service consisted of short enlistments in various alarm companies spanning two years. Town records at Warwick in 1779 listed for Waterman Tibbetts: 93 acres of land used for hay, corn, apples, wood, pasteurage, a house, barn, cider house, corn crib, and a variety of farm animals. The 1798 Direct Tax recorded a two-story home, 40' x 24', on two acres about two miles from Apponaug. The family burial plot was originally located up on the hill where Tollgate High School is now, so I imagine his farm was in that area, probably bordering Bald Hill Road. | TIBBETTS, Waterman (I02019)
|
| 7613 | Watson Carvosso Squire was manager of the Remington Arms Company from 1866 to 1879, when they moved to Seattle. He was governor of Washington Territory 1884-1887, and afterwards United States Senator from Washington for two terms. (source: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyherkim/obits9.html) | Squire, Col. Watson Carvosso (I08665)
|
| 7614 | Waty died in infancy. | LeValley, Waty (I12219)
|
| 7615 | We are not sure of this Jeremiah's dates and parentage. He was probably born before or about 1738, and married about 1760. I suspect he may be a son of Edward Manchester and Anna Williston. They have a grandson named Jeremiah, son of Zebedee, Archer's son. If so, he would be a brother of Archer, who married Elizabeth Gifford, in which case the two brothers married two sisters. Tiverton Deed Book: Jeremiah Manchester sells land bounded by Isaac Manchester to Philip Gray, 8 Aug 1766 (or 1761?), 34th yr of King George II. He is probably the Jeremiah Manchester of Tiverton who is listed in 1776 as a Sergeant under Capt. Christopher Manchester. He may be the Jeremiah Manchester who witnessed the will of Hope Durfee on 24 Oct 1809. A Jeremiah Manchester is in the 1820 census at Tiverton, over age 45. He is engaged in manufacturing. Also in the household is a white female over age 45 and one white male age 11 - 16. A Jeremiah Manchester of Tiverton was married to Phebe Taber/Tabor and wrote his will when "advanced in age" on 23 Dec 1822. It is possible that it is the same individual as the one who married Lydia Gifford; perhaps Phebe was his second wife. That Jeremiah, husband of Phebe (Taber, sister of Philip who mentions her in his will 12 Jan 1814), was a housewright. The will was proved on 2 May 1825. Besides his wife Phebe, it mentions son William; and daughters Phebe Carr, Mary Rice, Perlinea Grinnell, and Thuzzy Cornell. An online family tree has Phebe's dob as 22 Feb 1747 Tiverton. So, she could be a second wife. This needs more research to confirm. | Manchester, Jeremiah (I00777)
|
| 7616 | We have a nice five-generation picture which includes Philip in 1913, when he was ninety. There is another one taken around the same time in which he has Margaret Estelle Whitford on his lap. The story is that he was blind in his old age. Philip's gravestone has been photographed. According to the RI Cemetery Database, the Maple Root Cemetery "is a very old cemetery containing many inscribed field stones for the earliest settlers in this area. Records at Town Hall indicate that the first lot in the newer section was sold to Philip Johnson on 7 Nov 1893." I would guess that this was my 3xGreat-grandfather Johnson, or else his son Philip R. Johnson. In the 1860 Federal Census, Philip & Triphina H. Johnson are living in Coventry, RI. In the home are Hearty P. 10, Philip R. 9, and Triphina 5, as well as Persilla Johnson, 74, Philip's mother. By 1870 Philip has remarried, and he and Phebe are at Coventry with three children in the household: Ednah P. 9, Patience J. 6, and Zilpha W. 1. In 1880 they are still at Coventry, and two daughters are with them: Orvilla P. 24 and Zilpha W. 11. Orvilla is Phebe's daughter from her previous marriage to Isaac Paine. | JOHNSON, Philip Jr. (I00330)
|
| 7617 | We have a photograph of Ane taken on 13 November 1924, when she was 86 years old. The notation on the back of the photo says she lived in her later years with her daughter Kristine and son-in-law, Peter Sorensen. I don't know that Peter is any relation to our Sorensen family. | Christiansen, Ane Marie (I09006)
|
| 7618 | We have a picture of Great-great-grandma Harty Whitford, taken in 1912 in a five-generation group which includes her father. More recently I was given a picture of her as a young mother. These and other family pictures are posted at our family web site [www.thesorensens.net]. I have a photocopy of her original death entry in the Book of Deaths in 1917, p. 51, for the Town of Coventry. Also, her gravestone has been photographed. I think she must have been named after Harty (Potter) Johnson, wife of her uncle Caleb Johnson. | JOHNSON, Harty Potter (I00141)
|
| 7619 | We have not yet been able to figure out who Caleb's parents were. According to his children's data in the 1880 census, he was born in RI. This household apprears to be listed in the 1820 census at Smithfield, RI, with Caleb Remington as head of family; but no male of his age is included in the data. Here are the totals: 2 free white males under 10, 1 free white male 10-16 (Lyman?), 2 free white females under 10 (Martha & Mahala?), 2 free white females 16-26 (Zilpha & Ann Eliza?), and 1 free white female 26-45 (wife Martha). Where is Caleb, and who are the two young males? | Remington, Caleb (I17749)
|
| 7620 | We knew Charles as "Uncle Will." The gravestone for Charles & Annie has been photographed. Several pictures of Charles, Annie, their children and descendants are posted at our web site: [www.thesorensens.net]. I am not sure whether Charles was born in West Greenwich or Coventry. | Whitford, Charles William (I00143)
|
| 7621 | Wealtha moved from Massachusetts to Fowler, Ohio, with her parents when she was age 5. She may have been a granddaughter of Stephen Aldrich & Jerusha Bartlett, who owned a farm in Southwick, MA. According to a family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect, they had a son named Laban, born c1784. The 1820 Federal Census lists a Laban Aldridge in Fowler, OH. | Aldridge, Wealtha Ann (I06449)

| 7626 | WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 23, 1839, AGRlCULTURAL, From the Providence Journal: CATTLE SHOW The annual Fair and Cattle Show of the Rhode Island Society for the Encouragement of Domestic Industry, was held at Pawtuxet, on Wednesday, the 9th inst. The attendance was very large, and the exhibition was, upon the whole, although deficient in some particulars, the most interesting held in a number of years . . . For Agricultural Experiments and Vegetable Products, there was no legitimate competition. The show bill required a full and minute account of the manner of raising the crops, of preparing the soil, and the expense of cultivation . . . The pumpkins, squashes, beets, &,c. were of enormous dimensions. The following is a list of the premiums awarded : Agricultural Evperiments, Vegetable Crops, Grain, To David Phillips, .3d, Clayville, R. I. for specimens of cocoons Samuel Slociim, Pawtuxet, for one cabbage Mr Barnes, Providence, for cellery Reuben Mathewson, Johnston, for 4 squashes and 1 beet (and so on) Source for the above notes: http://www.ebooksread.com/authors-eng/marsha-j-berger/new-england-farmer-a nd-horticultural-register-volume-v18-1839-40-tso/page-55-new-england-farme r-and-horticultural-register-volume-v18-1839-40-tso.shtml | Mathewson, Reuben Jr. (I24063)

| 7627 | Wesley was brought up as a foster child by Albert & Louisa (Remington) McLaughlin, his uncle & aunt. | Currie, Wesley Benjamin (I21432)
|
| 7628 | Weston's will is dated 8 Apr 1725 Newport, proved 5 Apr 1731. It mentions wife Rebecca; sons Jeremiah, Weston, Walter, John, James, & Latham; daughters Mary Duckins and Elizabeth Coggeshall. It appears that both Jeremiah and John are designated as "eldest" which may mean eldest of each of his two wives; however, I have not been able to determine which children are form each wife, other than the four with birth dates I have recorded. In 1706 and 1709 (possibly other years) Weston Clarke was one of a committee of four men appointed by the colony of RI to sell vacant lands in Narragansett County. For this reason, his name shows up frequently in the North Kingstown land records. The other three men were: Philip Tillinghast, Richard Greene, and Randall Holden. | Clarke, Weston (I02790)

| 7629 | Whe may have married her brother-in-law William as her second husband. PEARCE William, and Merebee Pearce, (widow) of Nathaniel; m. by John Aften, Justice, Jan. 5, 1756. | Unknown, Merebah (I25493)
|
| 7630 | When Almira married George, her name was Almira Bezely/Beazley. However, the family Bible mentions that her maiden name was Ellis. It appears that she was the widow of Edward and mother of Rebecca, who married John Sterry Nottage. Jeremiah's story at findagrave.com names his mother as Almira E. King. | King, Almira Ellis (I15996)
|
| 7631 | When Ann married Pentecost Blackington, she was Ann Barrett. According to the Essex Antiquarian, Vol 9 p 189, (see Google Books) she was the widow of John Barrett. | Pederick, Ann (I24710)
|
| 7632 | When David married Sarah Remington in 1847, he was a widower, age 42, of East Hartford, CT, s/o John & Lydia Walden. | Walden, David P. (I16166)
|
| 7633 | When Frances died in 1677, she left 86 grandchildren. The following note is from a website: "The writer can state definitely that the Dungan family, of whom were the Earls of Limerick, was the only manorial family into which Frances Latham could have married, her father being the King's Sergeant Falconer, and a member of his household. There is no doubt in the writer's mind after an extended search, that William Dungan was a grandson of Sir John Dungan by his wife Margaret Forster, and this conclusion was arrived at by Mr. Howard O. Folker and an Irish genealogist in Dublin, who conducted their investigations without consultation with the writer." (source: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mylines/dungan108_09.htm) The following information is from another website: http://pages.prodigy.net/reed_wurts/heraldry/latham.htm Frances Latham now generally called "The Mother of Governors," because no less than fourteen of her direct descendants, and many sons-in-law in succeeding generations, became Governors or Lieut. Governors. Baptized 15 February 1609/10, she was the eldest of nine children of Lewis Latham whose portrait is in the collection of the late George W. Elkins, a descendant of Lewis Latham. He who was of Elston, co. Bedford, England, was born about, 1584 and buried 15 May 1655, aged about 71 years. He was a member of the King's household, and Falconer to Prince Henry in 1612, and later was Sergeant Falconer to King Charles I. ARMS-Or, on a chief indented azure, three bezants CREST-An eagle standing on an empty cradle with wings displayed, reguardant or. (NEHGR, Roll of Arms, Vol. LXXXII, p. 156; A.R. Justice, ANCESTRY OF JEREMY CLARKE..., p. 72) We can imagine Frances as a young girl on the moors in companionship with her father as he attended the Royal Princes, Henry and Charlie, in their hunting with falcons, ever a favorite royal sport, the birds being highly trained to search out and pounce upon rabbit, grouse and other small game and bring them to their master. Frances Latham was married in 1627 at age 17 to William Dungan, Gentleman, who was born about 1606, a London Merchant and Perfumer. His wares were in great demand and quite necessary to offset the obnoxious odors arising from the gutters in a thickly settled district subject to heavy fog and having surface drainage. They made their home at St. Martins-in-the-Fields where later he died and was buried 20 September 1636, leaving her a widow at age 26 with four little children between the ages of 2 and 8 years. By his Will dated 13 September 1636 he gave all his property to his wife Frances, after bequeathing | LATHAM, Frances (I02145)
|
| 7634 | When his father's estate was settled, Wager was a minor and out of the colony on a voyage at sea. It was decided that older brother Oliver be appointed his guardian until he return home, and then Wager himself could choose a guardian. After their marriage, Wager & Mary (Martin) Hull lived in the "Old Hull Place" on Jamestown. Their home was burned by the British soldiers in December 1775. At the same time Mary's father, William Martin, was killed. A few weeks later Wager died, and Mary went to New York City to stay with some of her husband's relatives. She later married Gershom Remington. | Hull, Wager (I11036)
|
| 7635 | When his parents both died, Joseph was put under the guardianship of his grandfather Christopher Sheldon, in 1795 (see http://gaspee.org/ChristopherSheldon.html). | Cooke, Joseph Sheldon (I16409)
|
| 7636 | When his parents died in 1918, Benjamin went to live with his paternal grandparents on Broad St. in Providence. In the 1935 RI Census, Benjamin and family were living at 55 Pleasant St., Pawtucket, RI. In 1940, the family is on Lafayette St., Pawtucket: Benjamin 37, May R. 35, Russel F. 6, and Kenneth R. 4. | Shaw, Benjamin Franklin (I00998)
|
| 7637 | When his parents died of the flu in 1918, Earl went to live with his grandfather Benjamin and wife Katherine at 103 Atwood St., Olneyville. In the 1920 Census, he is living with them there. In 1930 he may be the Earl Shaw, age 14, boarding on Laurel Ave., Johnston, RI. | Shaw, Earl William (I13282)
|
| 7638 | When his parents died, Jonathan was taken in or adopted by his aunt Rhoda Remington. A later notation stated that his guardian was aunt Phebe Celestia Smith. An obituary states that Jonathan's maternal grandfather was Jonathan Remington; his maternal aunts and uncles are Betsey Graves, Henry Remington, Celestia Smith, Rhoda Remington, and Emily Remington. (source: notes from Mary Lou Raftery) | Bowhall, Jonathan A. (I23939)
|
| 7639 | When I was very young, we went to visit Eliza, or "Cousin Lida," on Jenckes Lane, off Route 44 in Graniteville, Johnston, RI. In the 1920 Federal Census, Eliza is age 35, living with her widowed mother Clara Jenckes on Putnam Pike in Johnston, RI. I believe Lida was a schoolteacher at Graniteville, RI. In the Johnston Museum there is a Graniteville School souvenir booklet dated 1911, and this names Miss Eliza M. Jenckes as one of three teachers there. From my dad: "I know from what my mother told me that Lida began teaching (as I understood it) at the former Belknap School, which was opposite the Belknap Chapel on Geenville Avenue . . . I do know that after Lida returned to RI from New Britain, Conn., that she began teaching at Graniteville, and taught there until her retirement." | Jenckes, Eliza "Lida" M. (I00170)
|
| 7640 | When Israel married her in 1719, she was the widow of Malacha (Malachi) Rhodes/Roades. | Whipple, Dorothy (I07759)
|
| 7641 | When John married Harriet, his occupation was given as "Soldier." It was his second marriage. | Livsey, John (I21262)
|
| 7642 | When Lydia married John, she was a widow, Mrs. Gardner. Her first husband was Christopher D. Gardiner, according to a tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect. | Arnold, Lydia (I05082)
|
| 7643 | When married, Joshiah was "of Westford, CT." | Hale, Joshiah (I08035)
|
| 7644 | When Mary (Clarke) Cranston married John Stanton, she was the widow of Gov. John Cranston (b. 1626). Her will identifies her as "Mary Stanton, of Newport, now wife of Capt. John Stanton of Newport, Physician." It mentions her brothers Walter and J. Clarke; and sons (surname Cranston) Caleb (dec'd.), Samuel, John, Benjamin and Henry; daughter Elizabeth (Cranston) Brown; and son Henry Stanton. Based on Henry's date of birth (1688), Mary would have been about 47 years of age when he was born. The will also mentions son-in-law John Brown, grandsons John & Robert Brown; grandson John Cranston, son of Samuel; and granddaughter Mary Cranston. Her epitaph reads as follows: "Here lyeth interred the body of Mary Stanton alias Cranston who departed this life ye 7th day of April 1711 in ye 70th year of her age late wife of Capt John Stanton & was ye only wife of Major John Cranston & ye virtuous & worthy mother of ye family here." | CLARKE, Mary (I11865)
|
| 7645 | When Mary married Pentecost, she was the widow of Peter Fickett/Figgett. (source: The Essex Antiquarian, Vol 9 p 189; see Google Books) | Bonfield, Mary (I24714)
|
| 7646 | When Matilda's first husband died, her father gave her in marriage to a 16-year-old teenager, Geoffrey of Anjou. Matilda was named as successor to the throne by her father, King Henry I. However, when he died, the Council offered the throne to her cousin, Stephen of Blois, who proved to be a weak king. At one point her father's illegitimate son, Earl Robert, gave his support to Matilda, who installed herself as monarch at Arundel. The nobles took sides and a decade of civil war ensued. Eventually the crown passed to Matilda's son, Henry Plantagenet. | BEAUCLERC, Matilda (I19859)
