  1. 1.  Dameras "Demie" Straight was born 13 Jan 1804, RI (daughter of David Straight, Jr. and Phebe Franklin); 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]

  1. 2.  David Straight, Jr. was born 18 Mar 1782, West Greenwich, RI (son of David Straight, Sr. and Mary Aylesworth); 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]


  2. 3.  Phebe Franklin was born Abt 1781 (daughter of John Franklin); died 14 Mar 1838; was buried , Strait-Wood Lot, Pond View Court, West Greenwich, RI.

    Notes:

    According to the marriage record, Phebe was d/o of John, of Scituate.
