In the 1881 census, Levi F. RING is shown as having a wife "Sarah A." who was b. ca 1853. In the Old Cedar Hill Cem. there is a stone for Levi RING 1786 - 1874 He m. Mary Mason WIGHTMAN in 1814 but her name is not on the stone. On the same stone is Sarah A. RING ( Levi F.'s wife) 1851 - 1915, and her son Harvey (prob. after her home in Albert Co) 1877 - 1935. The Cedar Hill office records say there are 6 graves in the Levi RING (b. 1786) plot but doesn't give the other names if any. The "A." in Sarah's name is for "Alice" accoding to her death cert. She was Baptist from Harvey in Albert Co., and they were m. in Ludlow St. Baptist 16 Mar 1874. They did have a Marriage Bond which confirmed her maiden name as COPP. The Co-signer was George RING.
I have posted St. George's Anglican Church Baptisms (West Saint John)from 1826 to 1882 on the Saint John Co. GenWeb site at
http://new-brunswick.net/nbgenlinks/Links_Co_Saint_John.htm#... but unfortunately 1844 - 1848 is omitted. So it misses Levi F.'s baptism. But you should mark the link for other west side families. Levi and Sarah's children must have gone to the Baptist Ch.
In the 1881 census, living in the same house as Levi F. and Sarah A. RING is 74 year old Charlotte RING who may or may not be Levi F.'s mother. As you say she is the wife of a Levi RING in the 1871 census. Levi RING m. Anne LANE 18 Jul 1837 at St. George's Ch.
So you have Levi RING ( b. 1786) m. Mary WIGHTMAN
Levi RING m. Charlotte who was b. ca 1807
Levi F. RING b. ca 1844 m. Sarah A. COPP. By the spaces between the 3 Levis, the gravestone and Charlotte living in Levi F's house in 1881 the circumstantial evidence would suggest that the 3 Levis are Levi F., his father Levi ( mother Charlotte) and his grandfather Levi who m. Mary. Sometimes that's all we have to go on. Sorry this is such a jumble Nancy and probably no help but I thought some little fact might connect with yours to solve your mystery. Suzanne Carter
