Dameras "Demie" Straight
1804 - 1881 (77 years)1. Dameras "Demie" Straight 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.
