    Family Jeremiah Bailey WHITFORD,   b. 18 Sep 1805, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI Find all individuals with events at this location,   d. 29 Aug 1882, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI Find all individuals with events at this location  (Age 76 years) 
    Married 24 Dec 1826  Warwick, Kent Co., RI Find all individuals with events at this location  [1, 7, 8, 9] 
    Notes 
    • The marriage of Jeremiah and Sally was recorded in two newspapers: The Providence Journal of 11 Jan 1827, and the Providence Phenix of 24 Dec 1826. (See newspaper announcements transcribed in Arnold's Vital Record of RI)

      I have a photocopy of the original marriage entry recorded at West Greenwich Town Hall (p. 46), which reads: "Warwick December 24th AD 1826 -- I hereby Certify that Mr. Jeremiah Whitford and Miss Sally W. Tibbits were Lawfully Joined Together in Marriage by me the Subscriber Jonathan Wilson"

      The family Bible says they were married at West Greenwich. It is unclear exactly where they were married, although the record at West Greenwich has a reference to Warwick.

      Under that entry the births of their two children are recorded: Mercy Waterman Whitford and Charles Carmi Whitford. Also, according to "Alden G. Beaman's Vital Record of RI, New Series," an infant son was born in 1830 and died 1 April 1830, buried in West Greenwich.

    Birth record of my ancestor Maplet Remington and her sisters, with their parents' names, Jonathan and Phebe. Edward S. R. Remington was their half-brother, born to Jonathan and Sarah. Julia and Sally are Maplet's two daughters by her first husband. The writing at the top of the page identifies the original owner of this Bible as Samuel Bowering, Sergeant of Marinus Romulus. He came on this ship during the Revolutionary War. Somehow the Bible was acquired by Samuel Comstock and was passed down I suppose through his daughter-in-law Mercy (Angell) (Comstock) Remington to my relatives in Coventry, who eventually gave it to me.

    Charles J. Battey is my ancestor Maplet's son by her second marriage. This page records his children, the deaths of Maplet and husband James, and two marriage records of my ancestors: Jeremiah and Sally Whitford, and Charles and Harty Whitford.

  • Notes 
    • 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].
