  • Notes 
    • His birth record is on the same page as his parents' marriage record at West Greenwich Town Hall. Also, see his will dated 6 Aug 1846, proved 18 Oct 1846. He was buried in the Caleb Whitford Lot, Burnt Saw Mill Road, West Greenwich, RI. I have tried to get to this cemetery, but as yet have not been successful.
