Rider, 1878; reprint ed., Charleston, S.C.: BiblioLife, 2010), pp. 113-180. Gives birth 11 Feb 1748/9. (This differs from the 11 Feb 1754 birth date given by James N. Arnold's Vital Record of Rhode Island 1636-1850, volume 3 (Providence County), part 6 (Smithfield), p. 106: "Richard Mowry, b. 11 Feb 1754 to Joseph ([son] of Capt. Daniel) and Anne."). W.A. Mowry lists three marriages, to (1) Phebe Smith, (2) Huldah Harris, and (3) Isabel Chace.

While Arnold's VRs does give the date of February 11, 1754, the Vital Records of Uxbridge, MA to the Year 1850 notes his date of birth as "11th day, 2d mo. 1749" which corresponds to the secondary source of the William Augustus Mowry book as well as the grave stone information.
!SOURCE: Email from Matthew Fatale (email hidden) to the Whipple Website, 12 Aug 2010. Cites a photo of Richard's gravestone at http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GScid=2365618&GRid=56944804& , which gives his death date 23 Jan 1835, at the age of 86. Death at age 86 reinforces the 11 Feb 1748/9 birth date given by William Augustus Mowry and the Vital Records of Uxbridge, MA to the Year 1850.
