Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Meribah Manchester was born 17 Sep 1816, Tiverton, Newport Co., RI; died 17 May 1888, Fall River, Bristol Co., MA.

    Notes:

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Mary B. Cogshall is age 36, living at Tiverton, RI. With her are three sons: John 6, Thomas 4, & Joshua 1. Nearby is Phebe Cogshall, 72, probably her mother-in-law.

    In the 1860 Federal Census, she and her husband, David Shaw, have two Martin children from her previous marriage. They also have a one-year-old daughter, Meribah. (see notes for David Shaw)

    In the 1870 Federal Census, Meribah Shaw, age 53, is still living at Tiverton. In the household are two sons from a previous marriage, Thomas 24 and Joshua P. 21 (?) Coggeshall; and two of her children by David Shaw, Meribah A. 11 & James A. Shaw 8.

    In 1880 she is age 63, still at Tiverton; marital status is widowed. Still with her are three sons: Thomas D. Coggeshall, 34; Joshua P. Coggeshall, 31; and James A. Shaw, 18, a fisherman. They are living next door to son John S. Coggeshall and his family, including an uncle Stephen Manchester, probably Meribah's brother.

    From the census data, Mary B. & Meribah appear to be the same individual. Her full name may have been Meribah Brayton Manchester. However, according to Carla Phillips' data, they are two distinct individuals. This needs more research to resolve.
