| 2703 | I have a copy of the pedigree chart submitted by William D. Adkins; there is a notation "not related just friends." | Source (S013658)
|
| 2704 | I have a copy of their marriage certificate. They were married just a few days after the infamous September 11th destuction of the Twin Towers in New York City. Because of that, several guests were not able to travel to the wedding. However, the day still was a lovely occasion blessed by the presence of many relatives and friends, and blessed by the Lord. At the reception we also celebrated the 60th anniversary of Norman & Edna Remington, Karla's grandparents. A parallel was mentioned in comparing their wedding in September 1941, three months prior to the attack on Pearl Harbor, and Karla & Philip's marriage ceremony so close to Sept. 11, another unexpected attack against America 60 years later. | Family F00008
|
| 2705 | I have a copy of their marriage certificate. They were married three months before the attack on Pearl Harbor which brought America into World War II. Dad & Mom were engaged on 27 Jan 1941. | Family F00013

| 2706 | I have a copy of this book, sent to me by Ashley Stanley, a descendant. | Source (S013925)
|
| 2707 | I have a feeling that this name is not correct, but I need to check the original records. | Almy, Berdon (I21193)
|
| 2708 | I have a lovely portrait of her, taken when she was about 20, at Ye Rose Studio. This studio opened in 1886 at 385 Westminster St., Providence. | Whitford, Lena May (I00148)
|
| 2709 | I have a photocopy of Benjamin's and Adeline's official marriage record from Tiverton, RI. | Family F00101
|
| 2710 | I have a photocopy of her original birth record in the official Book of Births for 1870 in the Town of West Greenwich, p. 20; a copy of the original marriage record from the official Book of Marriages for 1891 in the Town of Coventry, p. 89; a copy of the marriage certificate from the State Offices at Providence, RI; a copy of her death certificate from the State of Rhode Island; and a copy of the newspaper obituary. Her gravestone has been photographed. Angeretta was a midwife. I remember occasionally going to visit my Great-grandma Remington in a house on Knotty Oak Road in Coventry, RI, where she lived with "Aunt Ollie and Uncle Allen," who were actually my great aunt -- Angeretta's sister -- and her husband, Allen Hopkins. The older folks would sit around the living room and talk, while we children would sometimes sit and listen, and sometimes amuse ourselves by walking around -- but never upstairs, as I recall. There was a square metal grate in the floor between the living room and kitchen, through which the heat would blow from the basement furnace. Being a small child, I had to take a rather large step to walk, or rather jump, over this grate, and I was somehow worried that I might fall through! Great-grandma Remington came to stay overnight with us once, and she slept in the room next to mine. When she was in the hospital with her final illness, I was allowed to go up to her hospital room to see her one last time. I was seven years old. Aunt Ollie lived quite a few years longer, and died when I was sixteen. I have memories of going to her funeral. But the best memories are of the three generations of family sitting around that comfortable living room, where the older folks would talk in their gentle and pleasant voices. | WHITFORD, Angeretta Williams (I00081)
|
| 2711 | I have a photocopy of his birth entry at West Greenwich. Also, a photograph of his gravestone has been posted on the family tree at our web site [www.thesorensens.net]. In the 1850 Federal Census, Jeremiah is 44 and Sally W. is 41. Their children, Marcy W. & Charles C., are 19 & 15. The family is living in West Greenwich, RI. In the 1860 Federal Census, Jeremiah, 54, & Sally W., 53, are still at West Greenwich. Son Charles C., 25, is with them, as well as married daughter Marcy W. Church, 29. In the 1870 Federal Census, Jeremiah & Sally W., ages 64 & 61, are living at West Greenwich, RI. With them is married son Charles C., 34, his wife Harty 21, and their child Hattie L. 1. In 1880 Jeremiah & Sally W. Whitford, ages 74 & 71, are still at West Greenwich. In the household with them are Charles C. & Harty P., ages 45 & 30, and their five daughters. Jeremiah is a retired farmer; his son Charles is a farmer. I believe the Whitford farm was up on the hill near the intersection of Rt. 3 and Interstate 95, where a motel is now. This is where my great-grandmother lived as a child. At one time there was a spring there, about where a gas station is now. | WHITFORD, Jeremiah Bailey (I00336)
|
| 2712 | I have a photocopy of his original birth entry at Coventry, Book of Births for 1894, p. 98. His gravestone has been photographed. Apparently Chester & Laura and family were not listed in the 1920 Federal Census, nor were their Whitford cousins who lived with them in the duplex farmhouse on Knotty Oak Rd., Coventry, RI. However, in the 1925 Rhode Island Census they are on Hope Rd., Coventry. This family farm, located on what is now Old Hope Lane, was called the Linden Farm in the old days, because the driveway was lined with beautiful linden trees. My grandfather kept a herd of cows and had a milk route. Their two-family farmhouse burned to the ground during the night on 27 Dec 1924, when my dad was six years old. Because the insurance had lapsed, my grandfather was not able to rebuild, so the family lived in a shanty on the property for a couple of years before moving away. This property has changed somewhat since the 1920s, but much of it remains the same -- the old stone walls, the pastures, and the lay of the land. A new house has been built in one of the pastures, the old barn has been replaced by a smaller one, and a couple of additional houses have been built along the driveway leading into the farm. It is now called Old Hope Farm. In the 1930 Federal Census, the family is living at 365 Jackson Ave., Johnston, RI. In 1935 they were living at 1226 Plainfield St., Johnston. In 1940 they were living at 24 Kilvert St. in Warwick, RI. Norman, Raymond, Chester, and Richard were living with their parents. | REMINGTON, Chester Philip Sr. (I00004)
|
| 2713 | I have a photocopy of his original birth entry at the Town of West Greenwich. Charles Carmi was named for his two grandfathers, Carmi Whitford and Charles Tibbetts. I also have a photocopy of his death entry in the Book of Deaths for 1910, p. 30, in the Town of Coventry. We have one picture of my Great-great-grandfather Whitford. This is posted at our family website [www.thesorensens.net]. Also there is a photograph of his gravestone at Maple Root Cemetery. All of the children and their birth dates are listed in the book "Records of the Bailey Family," p. 61. In the 1860 Federal Census at West Greenwich, Charles is 25 and living with his parents, along with his married sister, Marcy W. Church, 29. In the 1870 Federal Census, Charles C. 34 and his wife Harty 21 are still living at West Greenwich, RI. They have a child Hattie L., age 1. The family is in the household of Jeremiah & Sally W. Whitford, ages 64 & 61, Charles's parents. The 1880 Census at West Greenwich shows him married, age 45, with his wife and five daughters, again living in the household with Jeremiah and Sally Whitford, Charles's parents. This is probably the family farm on Rt. 3 in West Greenwich, where there is now a motel and gas station, at the intersection of Interstate 95. He is age 65 in the 1900 Census at Coventry, and is listed as the head of the household which includes his children as well as two grandsons, Angeretta's sons. I have photocopies of the pages from these three censuses. Example -- 1880 Census: Charles C. Whitford age 45 Harty P. Whitford 30 Hattie L. 11 Angeretta W. 9 Julia E. 6 Lena M. 4 Olive 2 Charles was elected to the Exeter Town Council in 1888 (was this a different Charles Whitford?). There is a paragraph about Charles C. Whitford and his family on p. 1343 of J. R. Cole's "History of Washington and Kent Counties," published in 1889. Although the writer has made two mistakes (names Charles's grandfather as Jeremiah instead of Carmi, and names his wife as Hattie instead of Harty), he does offer other information that is more reliable. We are told that Charles was born in 1834 in West Greenwich, and that he has been a farmer all of his life, having bought the farm where he now lives in 1884 (probably the farm on Knotty Oak Rd. in Coventry). It says he was married to [Harty] in 1866, and lists his children as: Hattie L., Angeretta W., Julia E., Lena M., Olive L., Charles W., and Nelson J. Lastly, he comments that "the family is said to be of Welsh descent." Of the individuals in this family, the ones I have personal memories of are Angeretta, who was my great-grandmother Remington; Olive, who was my great "Aunt Ollie"; Charles W., who we called "Uncle Will"; and J. Nelson, who was my great "Uncle Jerry." My dad, Norman Remington, says he remembers driving by the site of the old family homestead, which was on Rt. 3 between Harkney Hill Road and the present Interstate 95. About where the Best Western/Congress Inn is today, there was a spring. Further up the road, where the plat Wood Estates is now located, there must have been a family burial site, because when the plat was being planned (perhaps in the 1960s?), certain Whitford heirs had to sign, acknowledging there were interments on the property, and giving their permission for the project to proceed. | WHITFORD, Charles Carmi (I00140)
|
| 2714 | I have a photocopy of Phebe's birth entry at West Greenwich. | Whitford, Phebe (I01245)
|
| 2715 | I have a photocopy of the marriage entry from the West Greenwich town books. | Family F00467
|
| 2716 | I have a photocopy of the original birth entry, which follows her parents' marriage entry in the West Greenwich town records. She is mentioned in her grandfather Carmi's will (proved in 1843), where her name is given as Lucitta, and in her mother's will written in 1865, by which time Lucetta had died. | Nichols, Lucetta (I01863)
|
| 2717 | I have a photocopy of the original death entry from the North Kingstown Archives. In the 1870 Federal Census, Mary Austin is age 89, living at North Kingstown, RI, as "Keeper of House." With her are daughter and son-in-law Sally R. & Samuel Dyer, and three of their children. | MITCHELL, Mary (I00465)
|
| 2718 | I have a photocopy of the original death entry from the North Kingstown Archives. Samuel Ward Austin, a prosperous farmer, owned property in North Kingstown near the well-known landmark called "Devil's Foot." Although he himself was a member of the Six-Principal Baptist Church on Stony Lane, he deeded the northern corner of his land, located on Post Road between Wickford and East Greenwich, to the Quidnessett Church Society in 1841. Its church was dedicated there August 11, 1842. A new church building, called the Quidnessett Baptist Church, now occupies the site. After Samuel's death, his wife Mary (Mitchel) Austin donated an additional piece of land in 1869 for stables to be built next to the church, for horses and carriages. This church fellowship, some of whom may be descended from the original congregation, is where I was baptized and brought up, and is where my parents were still active members until they died in 2007 and 2010. I have old negative photocopies of sections of the original deeds, as well as a lawyer's transcript of them dating from the 1950s or thereabouts. In the 1850 Federal Census, Samuel & Mary Austin, ages 71 & 69, are living at North Kingstown, RI. Wilth them are: Julia A. Austin 42, Hannah E. Thurber 25, and Samuel Austin 23; these are three of their children. In the 1860 Federal Census, Samuel & Mary Austin, ages 80 & 77, are living at North Kingstown, RI. With them are two of their adult children, Samuel W., 33, and Julia A., 52. I believe Samuel Ward Austin was given his first and middle names in honor of Samuel Ward (1725-1776), a Rhode Island political leader in the days preceding the Revolutionary War. This leader was one of the founders of Rhode Island's two-party system, said to be the very first in America. The merchants and farmers of southern Rhode Island were led by Samuel Ward in their political battles against the politicians and businessmen from the Providence area, who were led by Stephen Hopkins. Ward was elected as governor in 1762, and again at least twice after that. He and Hopkins served together representing Rhode Island in the 1775-1776 Continental Congress in Philadelphia, where Ward was a committee leader, and was instrumental in appointing George Washington as general of the colonial army. In March 1776 he suddenly became ill with smallpox and died. Since Samuel Ward Austin was born three years later, in the midst of this struggle to birth a new nation, it is likely that he was named after this Rhode Island hero. Apparently other parents named their sons after this respected leader also. During the 1840s, Rhode Island's governor was Samuel Ward King, who headed a state faction that supported the voting power of landowners, opposing Thomas Wilson Dorr's proposal to institute a new state constitution which would grant voting rights to all free adult males (regardless of whether or not they were property owners), in recognition of the increased urbanization of the state. Dorr's Rebellion went down in defeat, but popular citizen support led to the drafting of a new state constitution in 1842. However, even in this document, all cities and towns -- regardless of population, were granted one senator each for representation in the state Senate; this provision afforded Senate control to the rural towns. I wonder what Samuel Ward Austin, as a substantial property owner and farmer, thought of all this? From The Narragansett Historical Register, Volume II, July 1883, No. 2; Historical Sketch of the Quidnessett Baptist Church, North Kingstown, RI, pp 81-97 "Another matter, more local in its influence, claimed also the attention of the church at this time. Their house of worship had long been too small for their use. It also was not sufficiently central in its location as to be adapted to the best development of the religious interests of the field. It was decided, therefore, to build anew. Samuel Austin, a member of a neighboring Six Principle Baptist church, gave the building site, situated on the post-road from Wickford to East Greenwich, about equal distance from each village, and near the three manufacturing villages of the Quidnesset field. Possibly no site could have been selected more central, or better adapted to the wants of the Quidnesset people than this. Funds were raised by subscription on the field itself to build the new meeting-house, which was dedicated Thursday, Aug. 11, 1842, free from debt. The dedication sermon was preached by Rev. John Dowling, of Providence, from the text, Haggai ii.,7: 'And I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts.' " | AUSTIN, Samuel Ward (I00392)
|
| 2719 | I have a photocopy of the original marriage entry at West Greenwich. A note in the family Bible has the date of marriage as 25 April 1830. | Family F00660
|
| 2720 | I have a photocopy of the original marriage entry in the North Kingstown books, Town Hall Archives. It says: Kings County SS These may certify that on the 4th day of May anno 1759 James Austin and Katharine Hunt both of North Kingstown Kings County were lawfully Joyned Together in Marriage Town Witness William Hall Jus Peace M. W J Thomas LCh (it is difficult to read all of it because the edges are missing, and some parts of the letters have faded) | Family F00214
|
| 2721 | I have a photocopy of the original marriage entry in the Town of West Greenwich. They were married by Samuel Hopkins, Justice of the Peace. | Family F00201
|
| 2722 | I have a photocopy of the original marriage register, obtained from the Maryland Archives. | Family F00097
|
| 2723 | I have a photocopy of the original record from the official book of the Town of West Greenwich for 1851, p. 77. They were married on 25 Nov 1849 by Caleb Green, Minister of the Gospel, and the marriage was recorded by John James, Town Clerk, about a year and a half later. The minister, Elder Caleb Green(e) (elsewhere it is spelled with a final "e"), was married to Lucetta Nichols, daughter of Susanna Whitford and Ambrose Nichols. | Family F00163
|
| 2724 | I have a photocopy of the ship's manifest showing their names when they came to Ellis Island on 31 May 1911. | Family F00147
|
| 2725 | I have a photocopy of their marriage entry from West Greenwich. It reads: "These May Certify all persons whom it may Concern that Carmy Whitford of Westgreenwich and Barbary Bailey of East Greenwich was Lawfully Married May the 24 AD 1787 By me James Wightman Elder" | Family F00168
|
| 2726 | I have a photocopy of their original marriage entry at West Greenwich. | Family F00720
|
| 2727 | I have a question as to whether this should be Sally and Silas is really Sylvia; in other words, possibly there was no Silas in this family and someone misread the name. According to the 1880 census listing of Sylvia's son Daniel, she was born in VT. | Remington, Sylvia "Sally" (I19995)
|
| 2728 | I have assumed that these dates from the RI Cemetery Database belong to this Ezekiel, because they are in the right time frame and the grave is in the right area. Some genealogies show that Ezekiel married Elizabeth's sister, Abigail. It is a confusing puzzle that needs more research. The will of Ezekiel Johnson, of Coventry, was dated 18 Apr 1789 and proved 7 Nov 1791. In it he mentions his wife Elizabeth, four sons, and four daughters, the last of which - at least - is under 18. I have wondered if he had another son named Philip who died in 1785. There was a Philip Johnson who is noted in the Maple Root records as having died 13 July 1785. This might explain why Ezekiel Jr. had a son named Philip. Based on his age at death and place of burial (information from Linda Mathew), I am including him in this family group. From Linda Mathew: "Ezekiel . . . when he made his [will] in 1789 left all of his real estate, undivided, to his sons Ezekiel, Edmund, and Daniel. Ezekiel, Sr., died in 1791 and the following year the brothers divided the land. Daniel received 50 acres in West Greenwich. Ezekiel and Edmund got the Coventry portions of their father's land, but Edmund sold his to Ezekiel a few years later when he moved to upstate New York." | JOHNSON, Ezekiel (I02254)
|
| 2729 | I have copies of census pages from 1860 and 1880 showing Sally at ages 52 and 71, also a certified copy of her death certificate from the town of Coventry, as well as a photocopy of the original death record in the Coventry Book of Deaths for 1899. A photograph of her gravestone has been posted on the family tree at our web site [www.thesorensens.net]. | TIBBETTS, Sally Williams (I00337)
|
| 2730 | I have estimated a year of birth based on the dates for his son and grandson. | Battey, Nicholas (I02569)
|
| 2731 | I have estimated Abigail's birth year. | Ellery, Abigail (I09758)
|
| 2732 | I have estimated Abigail's year of birth. | Northup, Abigail (I13727)
|
| 2733 | I have estimated Abraham's birth year, based on the ages of his siblings. | Josslyn, Abraham (I26686)
|
| 2734 | I have estimated Amy's birth date. | Remington, Amy (I08965)
|
| 2735 | I have estimated Benjamin's birth year. Unfortunately, no dates are inscribed on his gravestone. | Cornell, Benjamin (I06246)
|
| 2736 | I have estimated Caleb's year of birth. Caleb Allen is mentioned as a kinsman in the will of Benjamin Northup, proved 17 Jan 1750 at North Kingstown. However, this is a confusing will abstract, because Jeffrey Watson's Diary says that Benjamin Northup died 2 Nov 1756, and was buried at Caleb Allen's on 4 Nov 1756. Perhaps the will was really proved in Jan 1757 (?). The other possibility is that there were two Caleb Allens and two Benjamin Northups living in the same area around the same time. | Allen, Esquire Caleb (I13919)
|
| 2737 | I have estimated Carl's birth year. | Christjansen, Carl Wilhelm (I09005)
|
| 2738 | I have estimated Catherine's birth year. Her parentage is unknown. | Wright, Catherine "Caty" (I07982)
|
| 2739 | I have estimated Dorcas's birth year. | Knight, Dorcas (I05233)
|
| 2740 | I have estimated Eunice's birth year amd year of marriage. | Stone, Eunice (I09355)
|
| 2741 | I have estimated Gardiner's year of birth. | Briggs, Gardiner (I10447)
|
| 2742 | I have estimated George's birth year. | Wanton, George (I09759)
|
| 2743 | I have estimated Hannah's year of birth based on the marriage date. | Wells, Hannah (I05465)
|
| 2744 | I have estimated Hannah's year of birth. Also, I am making an assumption that she belongs in this family group, as her parents are identified as Remington & Elizabeth Kenyon. She was probably the Hannah Kenyon who traveled with her mother to Yates County, NY, in the late 1700s. Her father, Remington, came later, c. 1806. (RIGR Vol. 8 No. 4, p. 335) | Kenyon, Hannah (I07784)
|
| 2745 | I have estimated Henry's year of birth. On 13 April 1741, a Henry Northup of North Kingstown petitioned the Town Council of South Kingstown concerning the administration of the estate of Phillis Smith, deceased, mother of Hopestill (Smith) Northup. In the records of the Exeter Town Council of 9 October 1759, Hopestill is referred to as the widow of Henry Northup late of North Kingstown deceased. This suggests that Hopestill, widow of Joseph Northup, married either her brother-in-law Henry after his first wife died, or her deceased husband's nephew, and that Hopestill was widowed a second time before 9 October 1759. I have made an assumption that Hopestill married this particular Henry Northup, b.c. 1688. I have not been able to find out names of any children Henry & Hopestill may have had together. Was Henry married before he married Hopestill? One genealogy has a Henry Northup of this time frame marrying a Mary Eldred. | Northup, Henry (I13726)
|
| 2746 | I have estimated her year of birth based on her date of marriage and the order of names in her father's will. | Matteson, Rosannah (I04495)
|
| 2747 | I have estimated her year of birth based on the date of marriage. | Comstock, Sarah (I04751)
|
| 2748 | I have estimated his year of birth based on the date of marriage. | Olin, Henry Jr. (I04747)
|
| 2749 | I have estimated his year of birth based on the dates of his parents' marriage and his own marriage. | Olin, Anthony (I04173)
|
| 2750 | I have estimated his year of birth. He may be the Samuel S. Kettelle/Kettle who was born in 1817 at Exeter, son of Simeon & Susan, and who died a widower 1 July 1900 SK (see RIVR, NS, Vol. 9. p. 34). His father is identified as Simon Kettle in the marriage record at South Kingstown. In the 1850 Federal Census, Samuel S. Kettle is 33 and Hannah is 40. They are living at Warwick, Kent Co., RI. With them are their two children, John B. F. 7, and Margaret G. 5. | Kettelle, Samuel S. (I05464)
