    Notes:

    In the Federal Census of 1860, James A. & Phebe S. Whitford, ages 24 & 22, are living at West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI. With them are: Avis W. Whitford 2, Sarah Whitford 85, & Abby Matteson 62.

    In 1870, James & Phebe are still at West Greenwich. They now have two daughters.

    In 1880 the family is still at West Greenwich: James A. 44, Phebe S. 42, and Ruth B. 18. Ruth is teaching school. They are living near Amos & Sally Sweet, Phebe's father and stepmother.

    James married Phebe Sweet 17 Jun 1857. Phebe (daughter of Amos Sweet and Ruth Cornell Brown) was born Abt 1837, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI; died 19 Jun 1893; was buried , Pine Grove Cemetery, Washington St., Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Children:
    1. 4. Avice W. Whitford  Descendancy chart to this point was born Abt 1858, RI; died 10 Apr 1932; was buried , Small Maple Root Cemetery, Hill Farm Rd., Coventry, RI.
    2. 5. Ruth B. Whitford  Descendancy chart to this point was born May 1862, RI; died 25 Jun 1900; was buried , Pine Grove Cemetery, Washington St., Coventry, RI.

  2. 3.  Charles W. WhitfordCharles W. Whitford Descendancy chart to this point (1.William1) was born 22 Sep 1841, RI; died 21 Feb 1923; was buried , Plainland Cemetery, Harkney Hill Rd., Coventry, RI.

    Notes:

    HIs middle name may have been William or Wilbour.

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Charles is listed as Charles C. Whitford, age 8. He is living at West Greenwich with his brother James and widowed father William, in the household with his (assumed) grandmother Sarah (Nichols) Whitford. Also there are Sarah M. Gorton 7, Abby Matteson 52, Sheffield R. Remington 37,and Mary Green 70. Abby Matteson was a midwife.

    He may be the Charles Whitford, age 19, farm laborer, in the 1860 Federal Census, living at Cranston with Silas & Freelove M. Rider, 66 & 52, and Betsey Brayton, 70.

    I believe Charles C. is really Charles W. because in the 1870 Federal Census, Charles W. & Mary A. Whitford, ages 27 & 20, have a woman named Abbie Matteson, 71, living with them in West Greenwich. She appears to be the same woman (the midwife) living in the Whitford household in 1850. In 1870 Charles & Mary have a daughter named Annie G. or J. age 3.

    In 1880 Charles W. & Mary A. Whitford, ages 35 & 30, are living at Warwick, RI. They have five children: Angenett 13, Abby E. 9, George E. 6, Maryetta 5, & William H. 1.

    In 1900 Charles & Mary Ann, ages 55 & 50, are living at Johnston, RI. According to the census data, they have been married 34 years. The census gives Charles's birthdate as Sep 1844, which may or may not be correct. Their son William, age 21, is with them.

    In the 1920 Federal Census, Charles Whitford is age 78, widowed, and living at Johnston, RI, with his son George and family.

    Charles & Mary Ann are the ancestors of Ray Whitford who in recent years has cleaned up the Whitford Cemetery on Weaver Hill Road next to the old Whitford farm.

    Charles married Mary Ann Mitchell Abt 1866. Mary (daughter of Benjamin Mitchell and Phebe Unknown) was born Jul 1849, RI; died 5 Jun 1910; was buried , Plainland Cemetery, Harkney Hill Rd., Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]
