In his grandfather's will, no Amos is mentioned in the list of grandchildren, but Tillinghast is mentioned as a son of Amy. So, I am assuming that Amos's middle initial, T, signified Tillinghast.

According to his obituary, Simeon & Amey had 13 children, 5 boys and 8 girls. I have a family picture which I believe includes the parents and all 13 children; however, I am missing the name of one daughter, probably born early 1880s. I would guess the picture was taken c 1888 - 1890, perhaps a 60th birthday (Simeon, 1889) or anniversary portrait (1890).
In the Federal Census of 1880, the family is living at South Kingstown, RI; there are 11 children.
In 1900 they are still at South Kingstown; three daughters and the youngest son are with the parents.Simeon married Amy Ann Cary 19 Dec 1860.
