Notes - In the 1880 Federal Census, Harriet A. Aborn a. 77 is "keeping house," and Maria F. Condy a. 84 is boarding with her. The two widows are living at Providence, RI. I am making an assumption that they are sisters, since marriage records show that Harriet was d/o "Capt. Charles" and Maria was "d/o Charles."
This has since been confirmed by data from other sources.
Notes from the Mary E. Rice Collection, concerning Cranston Land Evidence, deed bk #1 pp. 584 & 585, dated 17 Oct 1825: Mary C. Remington, widow of Charles, deceased late of said Cranston, mariner, and William Henry Aborn of Providence, merchant, and his wife Harriot Angeline Aborn . . . " The content of this transaction concerned the release of all debts pertaining to the estate of Charles, also a release to Samuel Aborn Condy and wife Maria Frances. (Maria & Harriet were sisters.)
I wonder if Harriet A. and Henry A. were twins? If not, she must have been born early in 1803, or even in 1802.
According to the RI Cemetery Database, the cause of her death was paralysis.
