  • Notes 
    • William is age 82 in the 1850 Federal Census, living at East Greenwich, RI, with Warren & Hitty Remington and Dexter & Ruth Remington.

      Could he also be the William Greene, age 93, living at Providence in 1860? He is with Sarah Crapeman (?) age 43 or 63 (?).

      Was he William Fones Greene, found in the RI Cemetery Database? (GREENE, William Fones 1768 - 1 Feb 1863 PV003) This Greene family needs more research. One online site has the wife of William Fones Greene as Abby Sheldon, not Elizabeth.

      William & Elizabeth may have had another daughter, one named Sophia, b. 1797, d. 8 Nov 1865, md. Mr. Greene. (see RIVR, NS, V. 8, p. 301)

      Also, I am not sure that Ruth belongs in this family group. Her death record says her parents are William & Elza. However, Elza may have been an abbreviation for Elizabeth. Also, it was not uncommon for two sisters to marry two brothers (Warren & Dexter Remington).
