  • Notes 
    • In the 1850 Federal Census, Mahala Paine is age 35, living at Smithfield, RI, in the Aldrich household. Also there are her mother, sisters, brother-in-law, and nephews & nieces, for a total of nine individuals.

      In 1860 she is Mahala Lewis, age 45, living at Mendon, Worcester Co., MA. She has remarried to Griffin Lewis, age 47 in the census.

      In 1870 they are back in Smithfield, RI, ages 66 & 55, and in 1880 they are at Woonsocket, RI, as are the other two sisters.

      Notes from Prudence Fish, a descendant: "Mahala Remington married Smith Paine who later abandoned her and apparently went to Missouri where he had another family."

      After the death of her second husband, "she moved from Smithfield, Rhode Island, to Oxford, Maine, and lived with her only child, George Paine, and his wife and son."
