Hi Jack No, he didn't make it to the 1820 Census. There is a David, born in West Greenwich, who is also listed in the 1860 Census, born in Tiverton, age 69, born abt 1791. Possible son. My Elizabeth Weaver m Benjamin Bennett, 29 Oct 1734. Have not been able to document their children, but the time frame is about right and they married in EG. Thus my interest. Bonnie

Hi Charlie, Could this Charles be related to: Charles E, b 1853 CT, d 4 Apr 1883 Thompson, CT. Married Hattie A. Chapman 11 Aug 1879 Burrillville? Hattie b 1859 CT. On 1880 census Charles & Hattie were living with her parents in Griswold, New London, CT. SIBLINGS:(2) Andrew Lawson (3) Ida May (4) Herbert, b 18 Aug 1869 Thompson, CT (5) Grace May, b 18 Apr 1876 Burrillville. This is perhaps grandson of Elijah CARPENTER.

I forgot about Cowell's book whihc mentions all the RI Patriots that he could find from RI During the Revolution.

There are seven (I believe) large books in a number of libraries that contain listings of Rev. War Patriots. Also in PA near Washington's Crossing there is a library that specializes in this. They have much material. Also the National Archives can be contacted if you have a particular patriot. They may have info on him. Elizabeth in FL

I have checked the cemetery index by John Sterling and the Rev. War Veteran is not listed. I have someone checking the RIHS index to see if the DAR has a listing. Is there anyother place that Rev. War Veterans maybe listed. Any ideas or thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Joyce, most R.I. regiments had a history written about them and their journey. Which Regiment are you looking for?

if anyone has access to the census .... i was hoping to find this man. i think he was in Cranston ??? in the 1790 or 1782 census. I do not have him the 1777 Military nor the 1774. any help with old Weaver would be grand. Jack Scott To my knowledge no one knows his wife nor any of his children. I believe he died about 1819 ?? at Johnston. this was a notation from some book of RI rev Wars soldiers that was published years ago.

Charlie..I have a Cary Dyer Carpenter...could have been born aroundthen..he married a Mary Taylor about 1859 in Scituate, and they had ason Charles Cary Dyer Carpenter...born about 1850...and the only info I have on this Charles is when my grandmother isborn in Burrillville..he worked in the mills and guess they followedthe work. he then disapears..like the rest of that elusivebunch..LOL.. Jean

Has anyone done any research on R.I. Regiment in Revolution? I have the index from Archives but am having trouble tracking down the Captains and Col's. I want to try and do a timeline of where he served by the dates. Are there books written about the R.I. Regiment?

AUSTIN'S VR vol. 1, page 10 Plimpton, Amie and Samuel Day, Nov. 17 1754, Smithfield. Births, vol.1, page 161, at Smithfield.

Thank you. I will check that option.

Hi It's listed in Austin VR. My printer isn't working right now, or I would send the list of children. There were many Day's in Wrentham MA, including several Samuel's in the right time frame. No proof however. Bonnie

Hello, If there is anyone researching the PALMER name in early Little Compton and Tiverton, there are some pictures of early gravestones on an on-line auction place. Betty (near Lowell, MA) P.S. Still looking for a CLARK family, or a CLARK young man, living in Little Compton in the early 1820's !
