Lewis/Louis DOUGLAS born about 1913 and his son....?

xd22577 — 2009-11-03 14:20:32Z

Hi - I need help. I haven't researched in Rhode Island before. I'm trying to help someone in the UK who is trying to find a cousin for her 96yr old father.

this is all she knows:
Harry DOUGLAS and his wife Fanny (nee BROADBENT bn. 1878 in Leeds, UK). Harry was a carpet designer. They emigrated to USA in early 1900s.
They had a son Lewis, born approx. 1913, who in turn had a son "Buddy" born approx. 1943.
They lived in Rhode Island in the 1950s.
She's hoping Buddy is still alive and her father can talk to him

thanks for all of your help!

Re: Looking for a lawyer named Richards in Newport mid-1700s

my3240 — 2009-11-02 20:01:34Z

In my Gleanings from Newport Court files by Jane Fiske there is a William Richards merchant mentioned in filings 3 times with Wiliam Coddington. But that is the only one and there is a tradesman index but no Lawyers are listed which I thought strange. In Ezra Styles mortality list of Newport 1760 there is a Peter and wife Suzanna mentioned.

Looking for a lawyer named Richards in Newport mid-1700s

richcapen — 2009-11-01 21:53:20Z

I'm trying to find the parents of George Richards, who was born in Newport about 1755. His father was a lawyer, and George had a brother named David. NEHGS has a lawyer named Richards who died in Newport in March 1761 at age 49, and that may be him. But there was no first name. I went through the LDS film of Newport births but didn't find anything.

George Richards, my 4th great grandfather, served as a purser and chaplain abord several ships in the Revolutionary War. He went on to be a leader of the Universalist Church and prolific author. He took his own life in Philadelphia in 1814 after losing his third wife and his eyesight.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Chapman Marriage

JMiller66 — 2009-09-14 19:28:41Z

I am searching for the marriage date of Israel Chapman and Jane Unknown. They may have married between 1739 and 1746. His second wife was Martha Sears - married 1754. Israel and Jane had two children born in Newport: Anne(a) b. 5 July 1747 and John b. 1749. They may have also had Stephen b. 1746. Were they married early enough to have Lois, b. 1741? Thank you.

Re: Old Stone Church cemetery

You might look in the RI Historical Cemetery database, on line. It shows the cemetery has 15 burials. If you check the person's name in the database for all buried in the state it matches up the person, his info and the cemetery and you will know if he is there. Do not know who is responsible for the upkeep. Lots of them are really sad looking............

I know you posted this message a long time ago but, I just saw it. Kickemuit Cemetery is listed in "Find A Gave" web site. Everyone buried there is listed. There are many pictures of headstones. There is a Hugh Cole and Deborah Buckland Cole in the listings. In fact, there are many Coles. You may have already found this out in the time that has lapse but, just wanted to let you know. Several of my husband relatives are buried there. Hugh Cole b. 8 Mar, 1658, married to Deborah Buckland was my husbands grandparents 9 generations back. Hope you can use this info.

Re: MURPHY Family in Newport, RI

coleen88 — 2009-02-16 14:02:27Z

Thanks for responding. My Murphy family had a PJ Murphy who was a state senator, sometime around 1918? Known as Col. Murphy, a plumbing contractor, lived at 169 Broadway. He d 31 Dec 1932. I thought perhaps there would be more published info on him? Or that his house could possibly still be standing. He would have been a great uncle.

Mrs. Patrick (Julia Murphy) Harvey, lived at 44 Mann Avenue.She was a member of Rosary Sodality of St. Jospeh's parish. She was a dressmaker. She died 19 Dec 1942.
There also was a family home at 69 Tilden Ave.

I know the family also attended St Mary's, and I have found some beautiful photos of that.

I would be interested in finding a good book on Newport from the 1870's on...
If you could tell me of any possible leads, or what other historical records are available I would appreciate it!

Hello,

Descendants of Isaac Bull (born 1708 in Jamestown) who married Rebecca Browning in South Kingstown in 1731 may be interested in looking at Francelia C. Johnson's wonderful book _A Register of Some of the Families that have lived in Kent, CT., 1739-1799_ (Kent: Francelia C. Johnson, 2000).

Fran has include information about Isaac and Rebecca's sons Abraham and Jacob for several generations.

Abraham Bull (born 1740 in Kingston, RI) married Abigail Paine of Kent in 1760.

Jacob Bull (born 1734/35 in Dover, NY) married Mary Washburn in 1762 in Kent.

I hope this helps someone!

I hope I have the right Bill. If so, we may have met in 1976. I came to Tiverton, as far as I can recall and stayed with my Aunt Lois and Uncle Bill in a big white house with a little lake. My father is Paul. As far as I knew, there were five kids, William, your father I presume, David, Paul, Margaret (Marty) and Lois. I had no idea there were more. Was your Grandmother maiden name Tollefson? I would love to know if you are indeed my cousin. I now live in Australia but my Dad is still in California. My sister Kendra remembers your sisters fondly but I don't believe they have spoken in some years. I hope all is well with you and yours.

They had two daughters, Margaret and Lois and three sons, William, Paul and David. Only Paul, my father and David are still living. I am now living in Australia and was putting together a family tree when I came across your post. My dad used to tell me stories about how his father was a traveling pastor for the "Friends" church which is what cemented that we were indeed talking about the same people. I'm doing my best to go back a bit further so any info. you have you be great. I hope this was helpful to you. Julie Hartnett-Ivanovic

It looks like he was either 31 or 37 or 39 to her 43 (hard to read marriage registration sent to me). Gives his place of birth as Tiverton and lists his occupation as fisherman. I am waiting for a copy of the marriage certificate but hope someone can give me more information in the meantime. Thanks.
