If you follow this link to the archives at the Providence Journal, type in her name and the year to search, you will find her full obituary. Hope this helps.

Recently I was going over some old 8 MM movies my dad had taken back in the 1940's. There was quite a bit of filming done of our neighbors, Mary and Bud Ibbotson with their daughters, Donna and Gail. Even some of Bud's parents and home in Tiverton, RI. I thought Donna and Gail might want me to make a copy of the movies and send it to them. Unfortunately, Mary and Bud died in CA in 1986 and 1992 respectively. In checking my mother's (deceased) old address books, I can't find Donna and Gail's married names. I've tried to find obits on the web on Mary and Bud (Russell Ibbotson) but can't find them. So I checked SSDI and there was a Margaret Ibbotson (b in 1902) whose would be the right age to be either Bud's sister or sister-in-law. She died in April of 1990 in Tiverton. I'm hoping that one of you would have access to an old obit for Margaret and maybe it would list Donna or Gail with their married names. Can anyone help me? I'm trying to do a good deed here but I'm running into brick walls. Thank you so much.

Is your parent of Mary Ann Davenport, Elizabeth possibly Mary Elizabeth Isabelle "Irish" Davenport who married George Edward Irish "Davenport"? My great great great grandfather George Irish had a brother William, wife Mary Skidmore (Of Little Compton) who changed his name to Davenport because their child, Sarah was teased at school because of her last name "Irish" and I have not been able to determine where the name Davenport came from. Their son George Edward married a Mary Elizabeth Isabelle Davenport. Let me know if you have any other information on the Davenport family of Little Compton. Thanks. Sally

Does SKS have access to "The Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island, Comprising three generations of Settlers Who Came before 1690"? If so could I get a look-up on John Thornton of Newport about 1634 Thanks in advance Doug Thornton Dumfries, VA

This is a bit of a teaser. I am scanning the identified pictures in the albums I inherited from Newport. One album has ancestors (relatives of my great grandparents), but a later album (late 1800's) seems to have contemporaries of my great grandparents. I have no idea who these people might be. When I add the pictures to the Newport County RIGenWeb web pages I would like to have some additional information, if possible. One set of pictures if for Alfred Smith, Mrs. Alfred Smith (also identified as Ann Maria Smith), Hattie Fisher Smith Brownel [sic], and Bert Smith (young boy). The pictures were taken in Newport. The only clear match I found in a search is from the Newport Mercury, May 20, 1882 at http://www.rootsweb.com/~rinewpor/mercury1882.html "Mr. Alfred Smith is building a fine residence on Broadway, Providence, for his daughter, Mrs. Seth H. Brownell." I did find an Alfred Smith listed as a real estate broker, and other references, but there is no way to connect the name to these pictures. Is this family yours?

Far from my native land My spirit wings its flight, To dwell at God's right hand, With angels fair and bright. The square and compasses cut on the stone indicate that Mr. Loenard was a member of the Masonic fraternity. The other tomb is marked as follows: Latham Thurston Born in Newport R.I.

I have just added to the Newport County, RIGenWeb pages the 1921 Tax List (tax payers) for the Town of Jamestown, R. I. Also included are lists of city officers and school officials. These lists contain businesses and individuals and include many estates with the names of the administrators. Since I found the names of some of my ancestor/relatives who lived in Middletown, you can not assume those listed lived in Jamestown. However, there are also Poll Tax and Sewer Tax lists which might help determine residency. The pages have been scanned so you will not have to worry about transcription errors. http://www.rootsweb.com/~rinewpor/JamestownTax1921.html Happy Hunting, Susan -- Coordinator Newport County RIGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~rinewpor/

Thank you Leslie: What is the correct spelling for this family Wodell, Wardell, Wardwell????? Is Uzell Wardwell a membe of this familly? I have a Uzell Wardwell married to a Mary Rindge, their daughter Grace Wardwell married a Joseph Giddings. Wondering if all of them were connected????? Claire DeWolf is an old family name.

Hi Zelma There is a book called Little Compton Families by Benjamin Franklin Wilbour. It has Abram in it. It shows the same information you have but it only shows a son, Gardiner K. Wordell b. 20 May 1833, no location. It also says "married (intention 15 Nov. 1813) HANNAH THURSTON". Probably the reason for listing only one child is that the family had no further connection with Little Compton. One of Abram's brothers named also named Gershom Wordell his son Gideon Mosher Wordell is my great great grandfather. there is also another connection. Gideon's daughter, Harriet married Joshua Nelson Wordell. Someone sent me a pedigree chart showing that Joshua was Harriets 2nd cousin but they did not include any sources so I only have their word on it. Another book you might look at available at the New Bedford Free Public Library main branch in the genealogy section The book was written and self published by Eli Wodell in the late 1800s. It is about 100 pages long. The first half details his genealogy. The second half is his life story, strange to say the least, but interesting.
