  1. 2.  David Straight, Jr. Descendancy chart to this point (1.David1) was born 18 Mar 1782, West Greenwich, RI; died 28 Dec 1864, West Greenwich, RI; was buried , Strait-Wood Lot, Pond View Court, West Greenwich, RI.

    Notes:

    The Henry Straight Genealogy lists 10 children for this couple, including a son named Remington Straight (also in Beaman's RIVR, NS). I wonder what the Remington connection is in this family, other than a daughter having married a Remington.

    In the 1850 Federal Census, David Strait is age 67 and living at West Greenwich, RI. With him is Freelove, age 59. Is she a second wife, or a companion? WG marriages do have a marriage of David Straight & Freelove Potter in 1847, so I am making an assumption that this pertains to this particular David Straight.

    In the 1860 Federal Census, he is still at West Greenwich. Phebe Fiske is with him, a housekeeper. She is most likely his sister, Phebe (Straight) Fiske, 1781c - 27 JAN 1871.

    David married Phebe Franklin 13 Oct 1800, West Greenwich, RI. Phebe (daughter of John Franklin) was born Abt 1781; died 14 Mar 1838; was buried , Strait-Wood Lot, Pond View Court, West Greenwich, RI. [Group Sheet]

Generation: 3

  1. 3.  Dameras "Demie" Straight Descendancy chart to this point (2.David2, 1.David1) 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. Whitman (son of Job Harrington, III and Meribah Whitford) was born Abt 1805, RI; died 21 Jul 1885; was buried , Woodland Cemetery, Washington & Knotty Oak Sts., Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]

    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.
