Notes

!SOURCE: "Descendants of Welcome Sayles," email from N. Combs to Weldon Whipple, 19 Mar 2008. Cites/notes the following:

• Dorothy Higson White, Descendants of Roger Williams, Book III, (2002), 228 (marriage to James Pitts--see note below)
• Rhode Island Cemeteries Database Index (birth, death, burial)
• NAC note: White says James Pitts married Alice Sayles, dau. of Welcome Sayles {79603} and has another reference to his marrying Ann Eliza Sayles, dau. of Daniel Sayles 18549}; the John Smith the Miller book says he married Eliza Ann Sayles 19834, dau. of Daniel Sayles 18549. I would lean towards Alice, dau. of Welcome, as she is buried in the same cemetery as her parents. I have Eliza Ann Sayles 19834 married to James S. Cook--see separate message; they are buried in the same cemetery as her parents, siblings, etc. who lived in Glocester (later became Burrillville), Providence, RI, while Welcome Sayles and family lived in Smithfield (later became Lincoln/North Smithfield), Providence, RI. Furthermore, in 1850 James Pitts has a 2nd wife, Mary Thompson, and a daughter by her.

!SOURCE: Email from N. Combs to Weldon Whipple, 24 Apr 2010 Cites Massachusetts Vital Records, 1841-1910:

• "Lucius Stone Whipple {77589} and Maria Whipple Pitts were married Dec. 16, 1873 in Douglas, Worcester, MA. It was his 2nd marriage and her 1st. Maria was b. 1847 (age 26 at mar.) in Douglas, Worcester, MA., the d/o James {19838} and Mary Pitts {118981} (Douglas 255:256)"
• "Maria/Marie Whipple Pitts d. April 16, 1891 in Douglas, Worcester, MA, age 43-11-25 {b. in Blackstone, Worcester, MA d/o James {19838} and Mary (Thompson) {118981} Pitts (Douglas 420:519). A daughter (no first name) was born April 15, 1847 in Blackstone, Worcester, MA to James and Mary Pitts (Blackstone 23:196). {Interesting connection--on James Pitts' WGW page is this comment I made "Furthermore, in 1850 James Pitts has a 2nd wife, Mary Thompson, and a daughter by her." That daughter is Maria Whipple Pitts above.} Mary Thompson {118981} was b. 1823 in MA and d. April 27, 1915 in RI where she is bur. in the Union Cemetery, Great Rd., North Smithfield, RI (src: Rhode Island Cemeteries Database Index)."
• "James Pitts {19838} manufacturer, age 86, d. March 5, 1895 in Smithfield, Providence, RI. He was the s/o Joseph Pitts and Hannah Cleveland (Blackstone 456:558)."
