  5. 6.  David Whitford Descendancy chart to this point (1.Lydia1) was born Abt 1702, North Kingstown, RI.

    Notes:

    Alice Whitford, who married Nathan Dawley and named two sons David, may be a daughter of David & Mercy. Some genealogies show her as a daughter of David's brother Joseph, but that is uncertain. Nathan & Alice Dawley signed Exeter land deeds on 22 Nov 1755, 18 Aug 1758, and 20 Feb 1759.

    David & Marcy had several children, according to Whitford descendant Matthew Schmidt. Unfortunately, their names were burned off the records in the fires at the North Kingstown Town Hall. Other records have shown that they had at least three sons: Joshua, David, & John, probably all born in the 1720s and 1730s.

    David married Mercy Wells 5 Apr 1722, North Kingstown, RI. Mercy (daughter of John Wells and Elizabeth Congdon) was born Abt 1705. [Group Sheet]

  6. 7.  Ezekiel Whitford Descendancy chart to this point (1.Lydia1) was born Abt 1702, North Kingstown, RI.

    Notes:

    Mary's husband Mr. Whitford may have been Ezekiel b. c. 1702, or his brother John b. c. 1700, both of whom married women named Mary. It is believed that one was Mary Stafford and the other Mary Hiames/Hymes.Possibly second wife is Catherine Sweet, who married an Ezekiel Whitford at West Greenwich on 27 May 1744.

    Ezekiel married Mary Stafford Bef Jan 1726/27. Mary (daughter of Joseph Stafford and Sarah Holden) was born Abt 1697. [Group Sheet]
