| 7602 | We are not sure of this Jeremiah's dates and parentage. He was probably born before or about 1738, and married about 1760. I suspect he may be a son of Edward Manchester and Anna Williston. They have a grandson named Jeremiah, son of Zebedee, Archer's son. If so, he would be a brother of Archer, who married Elizabeth Gifford, in which case the two brothers married two sisters. Tiverton Deed Book: Jeremiah Manchester sells land bounded by Isaac Manchester to Philip Gray, 8 Aug 1766 (or 1761?), 34th yr of King George II. He is probably the Jeremiah Manchester of Tiverton who is listed in 1776 as a Sergeant under Capt. Christopher Manchester. He may be the Jeremiah Manchester who witnessed the will of Hope Durfee on 24 Oct 1809. A Jeremiah Manchester is in the 1820 census at Tiverton, over age 45. He is engaged in manufacturing. Also in the household is a white female over age 45 and one white male age 11 - 16. A Jeremiah Manchester of Tiverton was married to Phebe Taber/Tabor and wrote his will when "advanced in age" on 23 Dec 1822. It is possible that it is the same individual as the one who married Lydia Gifford; perhaps Phebe was his second wife. That Jeremiah, husband of Phebe (Taber, sister of Philip who mentions her in his will 12 Jan 1814), was a housewright. The will was proved on 2 May 1825. Besides his wife Phebe, it mentions son William; and daughters Phebe Carr, Mary Rice, Perlinea Grinnell, and Thuzzy Cornell. An online family tree has Phebe's dob as 22 Feb 1747 Tiverton. So, she could be a second wife. This needs more research to confirm. | Manchester, Jeremiah (I00777)
|
| 7603 | We have a nice five-generation picture which includes Philip in 1913, when he was ninety. There is another one taken around the same time in which he has Margaret Estelle Whitford on his lap. The story is that he was blind in his old age. Philip's gravestone has been photographed. According to the RI Cemetery Database, the Maple Root Cemetery "is a very old cemetery containing many inscribed field stones for the earliest settlers in this area. Records at Town Hall indicate that the first lot in the newer section was sold to Philip Johnson on 7 Nov 1893." I would guess that this was my 3xGreat-grandfather Johnson, or else his son Philip R. Johnson. In the 1860 Federal Census, Philip & Triphina H. Johnson are living in Coventry, RI. In the home are Hearty P. 10, Philip R. 9, and Triphina 5, as well as Persilla Johnson, 74, Philip's mother. By 1870 Philip has remarried, and he and Phebe are at Coventry with three children in the household: Ednah P. 9, Patience J. 6, and Zilpha W. 1. In 1880 they are still at Coventry, and two daughters are with them: Orvilla P. 24 and Zilpha W. 11. Orvilla is Phebe's daughter from her previous marriage to Isaac Paine. | JOHNSON, Philip Jr. (I00330)
|
| 7604 | We have a photograph of Ane taken on 13 November 1924, when she was 86 years old. The notation on the back of the photo says she lived in her later years with her daughter Kristine and son-in-law, Peter Sorensen. I don't know that Peter is any relation to our Sorensen family. | Christiansen, Ane Marie (I09006)
|
| 7605 | We have a picture of Great-great-grandma Harty Whitford, taken in 1912 in a five-generation group which includes her father. More recently I was given a picture of her as a young mother. These and other family pictures are posted at our family web site [www.thesorensens.net]. I have a photocopy of her original death entry in the Book of Deaths in 1917, p. 51, for the Town of Coventry. Also, her gravestone has been photographed. I think she must have been named after Harty (Potter) Johnson, wife of her uncle Caleb Johnson. | JOHNSON, Harty Potter (I00141)
|
| 7606 | We have not yet been able to figure out who Caleb's parents were. According to his children's data in the 1880 census, he was born in RI. This household apprears to be listed in the 1820 census at Smithfield, RI, with Caleb Remington as head of family; but no male of his age is included in the data. Here are the totals: 2 free white males under 10, 1 free white male 10-16 (Lyman?), 2 free white females under 10 (Martha & Mahala?), 2 free white females 16-26 (Zilpha & Ann Eliza?), and 1 free white female 26-45 (wife Martha). Where is Caleb, and who are the two young males? | Remington, Caleb (I17749)
|
| 7607 | We knew Charles as "Uncle Will." The gravestone for Charles & Annie has been photographed. Several pictures of Charles, Annie, their children and descendants are posted at our web site: [www.thesorensens.net]. I am not sure whether Charles was born in West Greenwich or Coventry. | Whitford, Charles William (I00143)
|
| 7608 | Wealtha moved from Massachusetts to Fowler, Ohio, with her parents when she was age 5. She may have been a granddaughter of Stephen Aldrich & Jerusha Bartlett, who owned a farm in Southwick, MA. According to a family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect, they had a son named Laban, born c1784. The 1820 Federal Census lists a Laban Aldridge in Fowler, OH. | Aldridge, Wealtha Ann (I06449)

| 7613 | WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 23, 1839, AGRlCULTURAL, From the Providence Journal: CATTLE SHOW The annual Fair and Cattle Show of the Rhode Island Society for the Encouragement of Domestic Industry, was held at Pawtuxet, on Wednesday, the 9th inst. The attendance was very large, and the exhibition was, upon the whole, although deficient in some particulars, the most interesting held in a number of years . . . For Agricultural Experiments and Vegetable Products, there was no legitimate competition. The show bill required a full and minute account of the manner of raising the crops, of preparing the soil, and the expense of cultivation . . . The pumpkins, squashes, beets, &,c. were of enormous dimensions. The following is a list of the premiums awarded : Agricultural Evperiments, Vegetable Crops, Grain, To David Phillips, .3d, Clayville, R. I. for specimens of cocoons Samuel Slociim, Pawtuxet, for one cabbage Mr Barnes, Providence, for cellery Reuben Mathewson, Johnston, for 4 squashes and 1 beet (and so on) Source for the above notes: http://www.ebooksread.com/authors-eng/marsha-j-berger/new-england-farmer-a nd-horticultural-register-volume-v18-1839-40-tso/page-55-new-england-farme r-and-horticultural-register-volume-v18-1839-40-tso.shtml | Mathewson, Reuben Jr. (I24063)

|
| 7615 | Weston's will is dated 8 Apr 1725 Newport, proved 5 Apr 1731. It mentions wife Rebecca; sons Jeremiah, Weston, Walter, John, James, & Latham; daughters Mary Duckins and Elizabeth Coggeshall. It appears that both Jeremiah and John are designated as "eldest" which may mean eldest of each of his two wives; however, I have not been able to determine which children are form each wife, other than the four with birth dates I have recorded. In 1706 and 1709 (possibly other years) Weston Clarke was one of a committee of four men appointed by the colony of RI to sell vacant lands in Narragansett County. For this reason, his name shows up frequently in the North Kingstown land records. The other three men were: Philip Tillinghast, Richard Greene, and Randall Holden. | Clarke, Weston (I02790)
|
| 7616 | Whe may have married her brother-in-law William as her second husband. PEARCE William, and Merebee Pearce, (widow) of Nathaniel; m. by John Aften, Justice, Jan. 5, 1756. | Unknown, Merebah (I25493)
|
| 7617 | When Almira married George, her name was Almira Bezely/Beazley. However, the family Bible mentions that her maiden name was Ellis. It appears that she was the widow of Edward and mother of Rebecca, who married John Sterry Nottage. Jeremiah's story at findagrave.com names his mother as Almira E. King. | King, Almira Ellis (I15996)
|
| 7618 | When Ann married Pentecost Blackington, she was Ann Barrett. According to the Essex Antiquarian, Vol 9 p 189, (see Google Books) she was the widow of John Barrett. | Pederick, Ann (I24710)
|
| 7619 | When David married Sarah Remington in 1847, he was a widower, age 42, of East Hartford, CT, s/o John & Lydia Walden. | Walden, David P. (I16166)
|
| 7620 | When Frances died in 1677, she left 86 grandchildren. The following note is from a website: "The writer can state definitely that the Dungan family, of whom were the Earls of Limerick, was the only manorial family into which Frances Latham could have married, her father being the King's Sergeant Falconer, and a member of his household. There is no doubt in the writer's mind after an extended search, that William Dungan was a grandson of Sir John Dungan by his wife Margaret Forster, and this conclusion was arrived at by Mr. Howard O. Folker and an Irish genealogist in Dublin, who conducted their investigations without consultation with the writer." (source: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mylines/dungan108_09.htm) The following information is from another website: http://pages.prodigy.net/reed_wurts/heraldry/latham.htm Frances Latham now generally called "The Mother of Governors," because no less than fourteen of her direct descendants, and many sons-in-law in succeeding generations, became Governors or Lieut. Governors. Baptized 15 February 1609/10, she was the eldest of nine children of Lewis Latham whose portrait is in the collection of the late George W. Elkins, a descendant of Lewis Latham. He who was of Elston, co. Bedford, England, was born about, 1584 and buried 15 May 1655, aged about 71 years. He was a member of the King's household, and Falconer to Prince Henry in 1612, and later was Sergeant Falconer to King Charles I. ARMS-Or, on a chief indented azure, three bezants CREST-An eagle standing on an empty cradle with wings displayed, reguardant or. (NEHGR, Roll of Arms, Vol. LXXXII, p. 156; A.R. Justice, ANCESTRY OF JEREMY CLARKE..., p. 72) We can imagine Frances as a young girl on the moors in companionship with her father as he attended the Royal Princes, Henry and Charlie, in their hunting with falcons, ever a favorite royal sport, the birds being highly trained to search out and pounce upon rabbit, grouse and other small game and bring them to their master. Frances Latham was married in 1627 at age 17 to William Dungan, Gentleman, who was born about 1606, a London Merchant and Perfumer. His wares were in great demand and quite necessary to offset the obnoxious odors arising from the gutters in a thickly settled district subject to heavy fog and having surface drainage. They made their home at St. Martins-in-the-Fields where later he died and was buried 20 September 1636, leaving her a widow at age 26 with four little children between the ages of 2 and 8 years. By his Will dated 13 September 1636 he gave all his property to his wife Frances, after bequeathing | LATHAM, Frances (I02145)

| 7621 | When his father's estate was settled, Wager was a minor and out of the colony on a voyage at sea. It was decided that older brother Oliver be appointed his guardian until he return home, and then Wager himself could choose a guardian. After their marriage, Wager & Mary (Martin) Hull lived in the "Old Hull Place" on Jamestown. Their home was burned by the British soldiers in December 1775. At the same time Mary's father, William Martin, was killed. A few weeks later Wager died, and Mary went to New York City to stay with some of her husband's relatives. She later married Gershom Remington. | Hull, Wager (I11036)
|
| 7622 | When his parents both died, Joseph was put under the guardianship of his grandfather Christopher Sheldon, in 1795 (see http://gaspee.org/ChristopherSheldon.html). | Cooke, Joseph Sheldon (I16409)
|
| 7623 | When his parents died in 1918, Benjamin went to live with his paternal grandparents on Broad St. in Providence. In the 1935 RI Census, Benjamin and family were living at 55 Pleasant St., Pawtucket, RI. In 1940, the family is on Lafayette St., Pawtucket: Benjamin 37, May R. 35, Russel F. 6, and Kenneth R. 4. | Shaw, Benjamin Franklin (I00998)
|
| 7624 | When his parents died of the flu in 1918, Earl went to live with his grandfather Benjamin and wife Katherine at 103 Atwood St., Olneyville. In the 1920 Census, he is living with them there. In 1930 he may be the Earl Shaw, age 14, boarding on Laurel Ave., Johnston, RI. | Shaw, Earl William (I13282)
|
| 7625 | When his parents died, Jonathan was taken in or adopted by his aunt Rhoda Remington. A later notation stated that his guardian was aunt Phebe Celestia Smith. An obituary states that Jonathan's maternal grandfather was Jonathan Remington; his maternal aunts and uncles are Betsey Graves, Henry Remington, Celestia Smith, Rhoda Remington, and Emily Remington. (source: notes from Mary Lou Raftery) | Bowhall, Jonathan A. (I23939)
|
| 7626 | When I was very young, we went to visit Eliza, or "Cousin Lida," on Jenckes Lane, off Route 44 in Graniteville, Johnston, RI. In the 1920 Federal Census, Eliza is age 35, living with her widowed mother Clara Jenckes on Putnam Pike in Johnston, RI. I believe Lida was a schoolteacher at Graniteville, RI. In the Johnston Museum there is a Graniteville School souvenir booklet dated 1911, and this names Miss Eliza M. Jenckes as one of three teachers there. From my dad: "I know from what my mother told me that Lida began teaching (as I understood it) at the former Belknap School, which was opposite the Belknap Chapel on Geenville Avenue . . . I do know that after Lida returned to RI from New Britain, Conn., that she began teaching at Graniteville, and taught there until her retirement." | Jenckes, Eliza "Lida" M. (I00170)

|
| 7631 | When Mary (Clarke) Cranston married John Stanton, she was the widow of Gov. John Cranston (b. 1626). Her will identifies her as "Mary Stanton, of Newport, now wife of Capt. John Stanton of Newport, Physician." It mentions her brothers Walter and J. Clarke; and sons (surname Cranston) Caleb (dec'd.), Samuel, John, Benjamin and Henry; daughter Elizabeth (Cranston) Brown; and son Henry Stanton. Based on Henry's date of birth (1688), Mary would have been about 47 years of age when he was born. The will also mentions son-in-law John Brown, grandsons John & Robert Brown; grandson John Cranston, son of Samuel; and granddaughter Mary Cranston. Her epitaph reads as follows: "Here lyeth interred the body of Mary Stanton alias Cranston who departed this life ye 7th day of April 1711 in ye 70th year of her age late wife of Capt John Stanton & was ye only wife of Major John Cranston & ye virtuous & worthy mother of ye family here." | CLARKE, Mary (I11865)

|
| 7633 | When Matilda's first husband died, her father gave her in marriage to a 16-year-old teenager, Geoffrey of Anjou. Matilda was named as successor to the throne by her father, King Henry I. However, when he died, the Council offered the throne to her cousin, Stephen of Blois, who proved to be a weak king. At one point her father's illegitimate son, Earl Robert, gave his support to Matilda, who installed herself as monarch at Arundel. The nobles took sides and a decade of civil war ensued. Eventually the crown passed to Matilda's son, Henry Plantagenet. | BEAUCLERC, Matilda (I19859)

|
| 7645 | When she married Jonathan Remington as his third wife, Sarah Potter was of Providence; he was of Lansingburgh, NY. Sally Greene's will mentions her son Edward S. Rhodes Remington, and grandchildren Sally Rhodes Remington & Richard Thornton Remington, Edward's children. It was witnessed by Wm N. Rhodes, Susan Patt, and Vernon L. Olney. Sally Greene is age 85 in the 1850 US Census at Cranston, RI. She is living with Nicholas Johnson, 42, a mariner, and his wife Sally R. Johnson, age 30. Also in the home are David Snow, age 30 born Canada, a shoemaker; and Sarah M. Olden, age 10. Apparently in the same household, although on the next census page, are Richard T. Remington, age 27, a jeweller; Sophia Remington, age 26; and their children Isabella 4, John R. 2, and Nicholas J. 1 month. Sally R. Johnson & Richard T. Remington are Sarah's grandchildren by her husband Jonathan Remington and their son Edward Scott Rhodes Remington. Sarah's (Sally's) parents and grandparents are buried in the Rhodes-Greene Lot, Cranston Historical Cemetery 35, off Bluff Ave. Also buried there are her daughter-in-law, Phebe (Cole) Remington; a great-grandchild, Nicholas Johnson; and Nicholas Johnson, Sr. Perhaps Sarah herself was buried there, but there seems to be no marker for her. | Rhodes, Sarah (I02407)
