    Notes:

    The original birth entry reads: "Levi Whitford the First Son of Nicholas Whitford and Susanna His wife was Born October ye 21st Day 1753 the First Day of the week about 3 of the Clock in the morning"

    Levi and Mary lived on Weaver Hill Road in West Greenwich, RI. The house and farm were in the Whitford family for nearly 100 years. The house is still standing and occupied. (See notes for his father Nicholas)

    I have made an assumption that Levi and his wife both died in West Greenwich.

    Notes:

    Rebecca Carr Harrington was Meribah's aunt, so it is a reasonable assumption that Meribah married her first cousin.

    Meribah married Job Harrington, III 14 Oct 1781, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI. Job (son of Job Harrington, II and Rebecca Carr) was born 18 Dec 1758, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI; died 3 Jun 1840; was buried , Job Harrington Lot, Division St., West Greenwich, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    Several generations of Whitfords are buried, with their spouses, in Coventry Historical Cemetery #135 on Harkney Hill Road, directly across from the historic Maple Root Baptist Church. There are two cemeteries next to each other; the Whitford graves are in the one situated toward the west, which is the older one of the two, commonly known as Maple Root Cemetery. In one lot there are six stones standing in a row, representing three consecutive generations beginning with the ones for Carmi and his wife Barbary, then Jeremiah's and Sally's, then the two for Charles and Harty. I have pictures of the stones individually, as well as the whole group. There is a saying carved on Jeremiah's stone: "Dear husband, you have passed away, and left me here so lonely, But I hope to meet you in that heavenly land where we shall part no more." Some of the next generation are also buried nearby.

    Pictures of these gravestones are posted on the family tree at our web site [www.thesorensens.net].

    I believe Carmi's farm was up on the hill near the intersection of Rt. 3 and Interstate 95, where a motel is now. This is where my great-grandmother lived as a child.

    Carmi's will was proved in West Greenwich on 28 Jan 1843. In it he mentions his father Nicholas; wife Barbara (Barbary); and sons Caleb B. and Jeremiah (our ancestor), the youngest; daughters Susannah Nichols and Phebe Potter; and granddaughter Lucitta Nichols.

    An online genealogy shows this family group with two more children: John, b. c. 1800, and Lucietta, b. c. 1805. However, these names are not found on the page with the birth records of the other four children, and are not named as children in the will.

    The 1850 census of Oneida County, New York shows a Lucetta Whitford, age 45, born in RI, along with Warren Tillinghast, 38. However, she was not of Carmi's family; she was Lucetta Tillinghast, daughter of Elder Pardon Tillinghast. Lucetta had married William M. Whitford on 5 Sept 1824, probably at East Greenwich. Warren was probably her younger brother.

    Carmi married Barbary BAILEY 24 May 1787, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI. Barbary (daughter of William BAILEY, Jr. and Phebe OLIN) was born 16 Sep 1765, East Greenwich, Kent Co., RI; died 19 Dec 1846, East Greenwich, Kent Co., RI; was buried , Maple Root Cemetery, Harkney Hill Rd., Coventry, RI.

    James N. Arnold's "Vital Record of RI" has Ezekiel's date of birth as 3 June 1776, but Alden G. Beaman's "Vital Record of RI, New Series" says 2 Jan 1776. His gravestone has been photographed, in Historical Cemetery #21 off Weaver Hill Rd., West Greenwich. It says he died "aged 74 yrs 2 mos & 13 days." This agrees with the date of January 2.
