Hi, my name is Debbie Thayer and I have been doing the cemetery hunting for two years now. Wear good hiking shoes, tuck your (long) pants into your socks, use bug spray, and be ready to learn a lot. Headstones are often inscribed with great snips of history, personal and general. It is one of my favorite things to do. I have designated myself the Rhode Island representative of the Thayer Families Association (TFA we have a website)Headstone Project. I am trying to get a picture of every Thayer buried in RI. I have found about 147 of the 310 listed in the Historical society and some who are not listed. The one I would really like to find is my 3xGreat Grandfather, Washington Thayer b.7/5/1805 d after 1830. He was the son of William Thayer and Polly Adams Thayer. I am wondering if he left RI (because I know his wife remarried) and went back to MA. There is a Washington Thayer buried in MA who is not my 3xGreat Grandfather. BUT.....if, in your travels, you come accro! ss MY Washington I would greatly like to know where you found him so I can go there and give him the devil for dropping off the face of the RI earth. No, relly, I want to take a picture of his headstone. In turn I will look for anyone you want who may be buried in RI.
