2. Dameras "Demie" Straight (1.Phebe1) was born 13 Jan 1804, RI; died 29 Apr 1881; was buried , Woodland Cemetery, Washington & Knotty Oak Sts., Coventry, RI.
Notes:
Her name has been spelled several different ways. The gravestone has it as "Dameras." The censuses, from 1850 to 1880, spell it as follows: Dameris, Demie/Dimie, Dimaris, & Damares.
Probably her name was really Damaris, an Bible name often used in early Rhode Island, and her nickname was Demmie or Dimmie.
Her grandmother Mary Aylesworth had a sister named Damaris, so this was probably a name passed down in this family line.Dameras married Whitman Harrington Abt 1821.

Notes:
In the 1860 census her name appears as Aloma T., and her age as 18. In the 1875 census her name appears as "Anna Remington," so apparently she was not married until after that time.
