The TWO Dinah Straights
-John m. Hannayh Brayton
their children: Thomas, Phebe,Wm., Hannah, Henry, John, and Job.
-Thomas m. Herodias Gardner
their children: Ezekial, Hannah, Thomas, SAmuel, Mary, Johnathan, Dinah, Lydia
This ia a little late--but there were TWO Thomas' and they each named a daughter Dinah.
Dinah--daugher of Thomas Straight and Amy (Aimy) Greenman, married Robert Briggs on Jan 16, 1766 (Per Arnolds VR of W. Greenwich found at : http://www.rootsweb.com/~rikent/arnolds/wgme/wg_0048.htmlhttp://www.rootsweb.com/~rikent/arnolds/wgme/wg_0048.html)
Thomas was son of John and Rose (widow of Daniel-per Austin's RIGF) Smith. John was son of Henry(1) and _____ (possibly a Hannah)
Austin's RIGD names John's children--with birthdates.
Elizabeth; John; Henry; Rebecca; Thomas; Mary (1718); Mary (1720) and Mathew.
Dinah--daughter of Thomas Straight and Herodias Gardiner/Gardner married ca 1760/61, Greene Bently Sr. of Richmond, RI. No marriage records have ever been found, to my knowledge. But the fact that their daughter named a son Thomas Straight Bennett, would indicate that the child was named for a relative, most likely her maternal grandfather.
This Thomas was son of Henry(2)--[son of Henry(1)and_____]--- whose Will of 1732 (abstracted in Austin) names children: Henry (d. young); Rebecca, Elizabeth, Samuel, Hannah, John, THOMAS, Mary, Sarah, Abigail, Mercy and another Henry.
Thomas was appointed guardian of Mercy and Henry.
