| 7151 | The surname is sometimes spelled Barry in court records. The following information is adapted and/or quoted from Miles Files Version 7, compiled by Moody K. & Barry Miles and posted online at the website of Eastern Shore Public Library [http://www.espl.org/research.htm]: James Berry bought land in 1770 in Accomack Co., VA. He bought a portion of Whitelaw's tract A140, which is north of Mappsville and east of present US Route 13 up to Temperanceville. In 1782 James Berry left 4 acres to John Berry, alias Hickman, and directed that the balance be sold, which was done the next year, to Thomas and Robinson Custis. James Berry's will, dated 11 Mar 1782 at Accomack Co., VA, mentions no heir at law within the United States. It does mention John Berry, alias Hickman, son of Sarah Hickman; John is to receive 4 acres of James's land. It also mentions a friend Levin Joynes; estate is to be sold and proceeds divided between Rebeckah and Allah, sisters who are daughters of William Berry of the Parish of Burt, County of Donnegal in Ireland, and eldest son of uncle Thomas Berry. James's clothing is to be divided between John Berry, alias Hickman, and Nathaniel Polk. Executors: friend Levin Joynes, David Bowman, and Alexander Stockly. Witnesses: Joseph Matthews and Henry White. On 14 Oct 1767 at Accomack Co., VA, James Berry witnessed the will of Edmund Allen. On 25 Sep 1771 at Accomack Co., VA, James Berry was named administrator of the estate of Robert Walker. On the same date he was named as security on the administration of the estate of Thomas Justice. On 27 Apr 1774 at Accomack Co., VA, James Berry was granted administration of the estate of William Rowley. My notes: By the wording of James's will, it can be assumed that John Berry, alias Hickman, is his biological son and heir, although not born within marriage. Another possibility is that James could have been John's guardian or caretaker and that their relationship was neither biological nor legally binding. However, the wording of the will, naming John and his mother, implies that James is the father. James's friend Levin Joynes may have been a son of William & Margaret Joynes. They had a son named Levin; William Joynes died in 1775.

|
| 7152 | The surname is sometimes spelled Chilson, Jillson, or Gillson. In this family line the name has retained the Ch spelling, with a variation in one or two Ls. See cemetery records here: http://joycetice.com/cemb/warrcen2.htm | Chillson, George T. (I08856)
|
| 7153 | The surname is sometimes spelled Corey. | CORY, William (I01453)
|
| 7154 | The surname is sometimes spelled Edmands or Edmonds. Joseph Edmunds of Warwick is mentioned as a son-in-law in the 7 Dec 1738 will of Thomas Nichols of East Greenwich. The name of Joseph's wife is not mentioned, but the East Greenwich records show the birth of Thomas to Joseph & Hannah; Thomas is also mentioned as a grandson in the will of Thomas Nichols. The will of Joseph Edmunds of Warwick is dated 9 June 1765 and proved 15 June 1767. It mentions wife Elizabeth -- probably not a first wife, based on the wording of the will -- and sons Thomas, Andrew, and William. I have estimated the birth years of most of the children. The following notes are from a family tree by Kristi Anne McKenzie at Rootsweb's Worldconnect; much of the information already has been substantiated by my own research, but some remains to be confirmed: "His will was proved 15 Jun 1767, ex. son Andrew. To son Thomas all wearing apparel. To wife Elizabeth (Elizabeth Vaughan who he married 7 Jun 1759) negro named Jeremiah, a good cow, a riding beast, two feather beds, all silver spoons she brought me, and all other things she brought, with use of west end of house and chamber above with bed room adjoining, privlege in cellar and kitchen and half of profits of homestead farm, all to her while widow. If wife refuses this provision in lieu of her dower, then executor to have all. To son Andrew all my homestead farm. To son William, land in Coventry, wife privilege of getting firewood on premises. To son Andrew, all remaining part of estate both real and personal. Inventory, | Edmunds, Joseph (I27164)
|
| 7155 | The surname is sometimes spelled Edmands or Edmonds. Land records involving Andrew are viewable in "The early records of the town of Providence" at Google Books. Captain Andrew Edmonds fought in King Philip's War, leading 30 men from Providence. "On 3 March 1679 'on account of his service done in the war' he was granted four acres of land 'at the place called the narrow passage [where Red Bridge now stands] he there intending the keeping of a ferry.' " (source: "Early Rehoboth: Documented Historical Studies of Familes and Events in this Plymouth Colony Township, Volume 3" by Richard LeBaron Bowen, p 86) See notes for wife Mary. | Edmunds, Andrew (I27170)
|
| 7156 | The surname is sometimes spelled Goodridge, as in the 1850 census (see notes for Dinah). | Goodrich, Uriah (I21436)
|
| 7157 | The surname is sometimes written as Mathewson. | Matteson, Hannah (I04919)
|
| 7158 | The surname is spelled Andrew in most records, but also Andrews, particularly in America. In the 1841 England census, the family is living on Church St. in Ashton under Lyne, Salford, Lancashire, England: John Andrew 35 occupation cotton dresser (? hard to read), Catherine 35, Ann 15 weaver, William 8, Mary 6, Eliza 2, and Betty 2 mo. John and all the children were born in Lancashire, but Catherine was not. In the microfilm of naturalization records at the National Archives and Records Administration, I found a naturalization record dated Dec. 1853 from the Court of Common Pleas, Providence, for a John Andrew. This is our ancestor. His address is given as Smithfield, RI, and date of birth as 27 April 1803, birthplace "Ashton on the line" in Lancashire County, England. He arrived in New York City on 9 Sept 1847 and said since then he has continued to live in Blackstone, MA, and Smithfield, RI. Witnesses in Court were John Miller and John Scott of Smithfield. His baptismal record at Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, England, has his birth date as 27 Apr 1803, which agrees with the naturalization record; parents Samuel and Ann. In the 1850 Federal Census, John is married to Sarah and living in Blacklstone, MA: John Andrew a Dresser Tender age 48 England, Sarah G. Andrew 37, William 17 a Weaver (my 2x-gr-grandfather), Mary 15, Eliza 12, Elizabeth 10, Alice 6. In the 1860 Federal Census, is he the John Andrews, age 54 b England, a Dresser Tender, living at Warwick, RI, in the household of Samuel Mathews? There is a woman or wife there -- (Unknown) Andrews -- age 42 or 49, birthplace unknown. I don't know if this is our John Andrews, but it looks like he could be. According to the 1900 Federal Census, John's daughter Mary immigrated in 1847. This seems to confirm the above date. According to writings by my Great-grandma Chafee, her grandfather "was a slacher tender by trade in a factory. There was a time when he had a factory store -- and trusted the factory workers for their groceries -- when payday came." He is undoubtedly the John Andrew buried at Oak Grove Cemetery in Pawtucket. The date of death is the same as she wrote. The death record at Attleboro says he died 2 Nov 1868 at age 65, which agrees with the birth year of 1803. The death record does not name his parents. According to Aunt Ann (Andrews) Abbey, John was a hard and cruel man. From my great-grandmother's notes: "My grandfather married twice after his wife Catherine died; the first wife wouldn't live with him because he wouldn't pay her sister's passage to America so she left him -- then he married a woman named Caroline -- she came to America with the family. After my grandfather died -- I was quite small -- this Caroline would come and visit my father. I remember her -- seeing a feather bed all tied up in a sheet, she somehow brought it everywhere she went. I never saw who it was brought it, but I remember seeing her. I have her earrings now, and a cameo pin Cousin Ida gave me -- belonged to her; and the earrings Aunt Mary gave them to Mrs. Hartford, but Mrs. Hartford thought I should have them (so I still have)." I am not sure if the Sarah in 1850 is Caroline? | ANDREWS, John (I00008)
|
| 7159 | The surname is spelled Olmsted on the gravestones. In 1880, the family is on Union St., LeRoy, Genesee Co., NY. In the Federal Census of 1900, the family is still at Leroy, Genesee Co., NY: John R. 80, Elizabeth 74, Allen S. 43, Lily R. 35, Jacob W. 34. John is an attorney-at-law; Allen is a manufacturer; Jacob is manager at a foot care business. | Olmsted, John Randolph (I25948)
|
| 7160 | The surname is spelled variously as Kinnecut, Kinnecutt, or Kinnecut. | KINNECUTT, Thomas Jr. (I16559)
|
| 7161 | The surname Lathrop came from an online genealogy (needs confirmation) by Ann M. Mcallister. | Lathrop, Augusta (I14091)
|
| 7162 | The Tibbetts family migrated from RI to Berkshire Co., MA. Later Benjamin went to Lansingburgh, NY, with his brother George, who became mayor of Troy, NY. Both Benjamin & George were influential businessmen in Lansingburgh. For more information on the founding of Lansingburgh, NY, and in particular on George & Benjamin Tibbetts, see the following: http://history.rays-place.com/ny/ren-lansingburgh.htm (History of Lansingburgh, New York) | Tibbetts, Benjamin (I02416)
|
| 7163 | The transcribed marriage record identifies Daniel as s/o Oliver. | Arnold, Daniel (I05313)
|
| 7164 | The transcription at newenglandancestors.org has his name as Lemuel. NOTE: I have made an assumption that these children in the Tiverton records belong to this particular Samuel. | Almy, Samuel (I18571)
|
| 7165 | The transcription of the birth record at newenglandancestors.org gives her name as Amey, and has the dob as 26 Apr 1778. | Wickes, Almey (I11096)
|
| 7166 | The transcription of the Portsmouth records, an online version of James N. Arnold's Vital Record of RI, has Matthew's birth year as 1675. So, without having seen the original, I would say it is either 1673 or 1675, since the numbers could have been difficult to decipher. There's a will for a Matthew Allen of North Kingstown, dated Apr 1759, proved 11 Feb 1760. I don't know if it's for this particular Matthew or not -- probably not. | ALLEN, Matthew (I09590)
|
| 7167 | The VRs say she died on her birthday in 1764, but that may be an error. | Remington, Sarah (1) (I16138)
|
| 7168 | The VRs say she was daughter of Thomas & Rachel, but I think that is a clerical error. She died at age 38. She was a daughter of Thomas & Lydia, and granddaughter of Thomas & Rachel. | Remington, Rachel (I16139)
|
| 7169 | The Warwick birth record refers to her as "Peacy," and says her father Benjamin was a farmer, and the family residence was in Warwick Neck. In the 1920 Federal Census, Peace H. Miller is living with son William H. Miller and his family in East Greenwich, RI | Remington, Peace Hambly (I00349)
|
| 7170 | The Warwick marriage entry says Charles was age 34 and resided in Crompton. It was his second marriage. | Family F00170
|
| 7171 | The Warwick marriage record gives her maiden name as Eldred, but the gravestone says Eldredge. Capt. Samuel Tillinghast had this entry in his diary for April 15, 1766: "This Day died Thomas Remingtons Wife. Had been Long Ill with the Consumption." The entry for the 17th says: "This day Thomas Remingtons Wife buried. Elder Holden Preachd." Death notice in the Providence Phenix: "Mrs. Abigail Remington wife of Mr. Thomas & dau of Mr. Robert & Mrs. Hannah Eldredge d 14 Apr 1766 in her 45th year." Abigail's gravestones (headstone and footstone) have been photographed. | ELDREDGE, Abigail (I02123)
|
| 7172 | The Warwick marriage record gives her surname as Whyppoll. | Whipple, Mary (I03446)
|
| 7173 | The Warwick marriage record says they were married by Thomas Rice, Jr., Justice. | Family F01055
|
| 7174 | The Warwick vital records, and also Elder Gorton's pastoral papers, say Hannah married Henry Tibbitts, Jr. It has been assumed by some genealogists and writers that this was Henry, the son of Henry & Phebe. However, there was another related Henry, Jr. in the next town, East Greenwich, who may have been a widower at this time. It is quite possible that she married him. Also, Henry Sr. was most likely a widower at that time, since his wife Phebe had probably died (not mentioned in his will). It happens that his father was also a Henry, so he himself was a junior. However, it is reasonable to assume that Hannah married one of the younger Henrys. These twins that she supposedly had are not mentioned in the Warwick vital records, but are in a genealogist's card file at the Rhode Island Historical Library. Also, Henry had a brother Charles and a sister Elizabeth (same names as the twins), one or both of whom died around this time, all of which makes the data a bit confusing to sort out. Samuel Tillinghast's Diary reports the deaths of Charles and Elizabeth, and in telling of their funeral, says they were buried in one grave, implying that they were sister and brother. So, they would have been either the twins or the older sister and brother, siblings of Henry, Jr. | Family F00745
|
| 7175 | The web site of The Georgia Historcial Society states that George F. Armstrong was s/o Alexander. However, the 1880 census lists George as s/o Benjamin, and the 1900 census gives George F.'s father as born in RI. | Armstrong, George Ferguson (I20545)
|
| 7176 | The Whipple Family web site has the date of marriage as 4 Nov 1827 at Seekonk, MA. The earlier date may have been the day the intent was filed or the banns were published | Family F03424
|
| 7177 | The will of "Damares Carr" of Jamestown was dated 1832 and proved 10 Oct 1843. It mentions brothers James C. Carr & Henry Carr. Also mentioned are nephews George W. Carr & James C. Carr, sons of brother James C. Carr; nieces Sarah, Phebe, Desire, & Hannah, daughters of brother James C. Carr; niece Damares Wilson, daughter of brother Henry; grand-niece Sarah Aldredge, granddaughter of brother Henry Carr; nephew Benjamin E. Remington, son of John; and Hannah Douglass, widow of Thomas Douglass (no relationship specified). | Carr, Damaris (I14235)
|

This will mentions Ebenezer's wife Mary; sons Robert, Elisha, & Stephen (these two called the youngest sons); and daughters Enfield Greene and Olive Johnson. The births of his children are recorded on two different pages at Coventry, and no wife is named. | Greene, Ebenezer (I09304)
|
| 7186 | The will of Edward Manton of Providence, yeoman, was dated 7 Aug 1723 and proved 22 Oct 1723; he died 14 Aug 1723. The will mentions his wife Elizabeth; three sons Shadrach, Edward, and John; and daughters Ann Trip who has unnamed children, Kathron (single), Mary (single), and Elizabeth and Sarah Manton. Instructions are given to the three sons and to daughters Kathron and Mary "that they take Care and Provide attendance and all things necessary for there two poore helpless sisters: my daughters Elizabeth Manton and Sarah Manton dureing the full term of the naturall Life of Each of them . . ." (source: RI Genealogical Register, Vol, 12, p. 163). The Edward Manton house was erected c1683 in Johnston, on "the east side of the road that leads to Killingly" and by the Woonasquatucket River, and near the Assapumpset Brook. The area, originally called the Secesakut Lands, became known as Manton. | Manton, Edward (I20412)
|

It mentions the following children: John, James, Joseph, Robert, Samuel, Stephen, Harper, Thomas (and his dtr Avis), and Susannah Brand, widow. A family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect has Elizabeth's maiden name as Reynolds. | Unknown, Elizabeth (I24368)

|
| 7190 | The will of Gideon Spencer of Warwick was dated 12 Jan 1846, codicil dated 21 Jul 1849, proved 10 Dec 1849. It mentions wife Abby Spencer who received which she brought to me at our marriage . . . 1/3; sons Thomas Jones Spencer and Warren Spencer, daughter Maria E. Stillman, wife of Edmund Stillman. | Spencer, Hon. Gideon Jr. (I17557)
|
| 7191 | The will of Grace Wardwell was dated 19 Oct 1739 and proved 27 May 1741. The executors were her daughter Sarah Bosworth and Sarah's husband Nathaniel. Her death record at Bristol: "WORDALL, Old Mrs. Grace, May 9, 1741" | Unknown, Grace (I17201)
|
| 7192 | The will of Henry Clarke (possible or likely son of Jeremiah above) of Newport, weaver, is dated 7 June 1742 and proved 7 Nov 1743. He mentions wife named Judith; two sons: William and James deceased, and 3 daughters: Ann Pike (whose son is Clarke Pike), Hannah Moore, and Judith Hubbard. Witnesses were Jeremiah Weeden, Joseph Weeden, and John Greene. The only aspect of this will that might link Henry to Jeremiah above, are the two witnesses surnamed Weedon - possibly brothers-in-law. | Clarke, Henry (I27837)
|
| 7193 | The will of Henry Northup, yeoman of North Kingstown, mentions one son, named Immanuel; and mentions the following daughters: a daughter (likely Patience), wife of John Congdon; Susannah, wife of John Pinder; Mary, wife of Jeffrey Champlin; and other daughters under 18 and single, whose names have been burned off the will. His wife Mary is not mentioned in the will, which suggests she may have predeceased him. The marriage record of son Immanuel identifies his parents as Henry & Mary. It is possible that his first wife Mary died, and he married another woman named Mary. Could he have married Mary Eldred, as one genealogy suggests? Some family researchers may have confused two or more Henry Northups of this time period. For the time being, I am assuming there was one Mary for this particular husband. Henry & Mary Northup signed a deed dated 13 March 1711/12, along with Thomas & Hannah Place. Another record states that Henry Northup & Thomas Place bought land in a partnership about March 1716/17. | Northup, Henry (I13904)

Will witnesses: Rouse Helme; William Gardner, son of Henry; Margaret Gardner; Sarah Helme. Codicil witnesses: Rouse Helme, Christopher Helme and William Gardner, son of Henry. | Potter, Ichabod (I26989)
|
| 7196 | The will of Immanuel, "far advanced in years," mentions sons George and Carr, deceased, and son John, (possibly) deceased; a daughter Elizabeth Gardner, and another daughter who married a Mr. Tillinghast. The following grandchildren are mentioned: Henry s/o George dec.; Christopher s/o Carr dec.; John Holmes & Jeremiah G., sons of John; George, Wanton, & Sarah Gardner; Henry & Abigail Ann (?) Tillinghast; and Nicholas Carr Northup, Clarke Northup, & George Northup, possibly sons of Henry. | Northup, Colonel Immanuel (I13926)
|
| 7197 | The will of Isaac Follett of Smithfield was dated 27 June 1848, and proved 26 Aug 1848. It mentions his wife Ann Eliza, and children William F.

There is no explanation for who Almy's parents are, but the will of Patience Andrew, James's daughter, also mentions Amey Johnson, daughter of Elkanah Johnson. Apparently one of James's daughters had a daughter Amey by Elkanah Johnson. "James lived at Maroon Swamp which is the area of modern day Coventry Center north of Harkney Hill. His wife Rebecca was the daughter of Nathaniel Cahoone, who was a resident of Warwick, R.I. in the early 1700 | GREENE, James (I09248)
|
| 7200 | The will of James Sweet of Portsmouth is dated 23 Apr 1718 and proved 13 Dec 1725. It refers to, but does not name, his former wife; mentions present wife Mary; sons Thomas, James, & Samuel; two sons-in-law: William Hill and William Allen. James's wife has been identified as Mary Greene, who is probably his second wife. (The American Genealogist, Vol 48, p 224) Source of the following is Boston Evening Transcript, 26 Aug 1912, at Google News Archive Search: James Sweet and James Sweet Jr. were admitted inhabitants of Portsmouth in Feb 1723/24. James's widow Mary was appointed executrix 13 Dec 1725. She was his second wife. | Sweet, James (I17328)
