Lucy was the first wife of John Aldrich CHAMPLIN. According to another researcher, she was the daughter of William Rathbone GREENE and his wife Esther JOHNSON.
Lucy, whose middle name was Anna, was born in Westerly on 11 Jan 1798 and died, perhaps in childbirth, on 17 Dec 1846.
This woman possibly bore as many as 13 children before she passed away at age 49.
Lucy is buried at River Bend Cemetery in Westerly, RI. Her son Horace is buried behind her. Her husband and his second wife are also buried next to her.

Phebe Greene Burrrows
Second Row, Left Side [Grave #16 Photo #3035]
Thia gravestone is the reason I went in search of this private graveyard.
Phebe was someone I knew as she was a friend of my grandmother. Because of her, I listened to the family history story that a Denison woman had married a Burrows man and raised his children which made them "family" to my Denison line.
Phebe's husband William Elijah BURROWS is buried with his parents in Pocasset Cemetery in Cranston, RI as he chose to bury his wife with her family here in the Burrows Cemetery and as he lived to be 95, it looks like his name may have been added to his parents gravestone.
In my minds eye, I can see my grandmother and Phebe sitting side by side in their beach chairs, chatting endlessly while the waves pounded the nearby beach.
I'm planning to add more to this post as I have done more research.

Update!
A kind reader has posted a comment on my blog posting about the wives of Col. John Williams. It is so exciting to get more information about one of my gravestones!
Mary's maiden surname was DYER, and she was the daughter of Edward DYER and Mary GREENE of North Kingstown, RI and that she was born in Scituate, RI in 1704. Mary DYER married first, Christopher HELME.
I already have the surname Greene, and Helme in my charts. It will be fun putting this new information into my database and connecting it to what I already know.
