 Olive MORIEBorn 1771, died 1840, 68 or 69 years In 1870, in the town of Smithfield, Providence, RI, Richard MOWRY was 64 years old. In the 1850 family records, Richard MOWRY lodged at Arnold BRIGGS' place. Was Olive's name MOWRY rather than MORIE? Was Richard her brother or nephew? Married/ Related to:  Arnold BRIGGS, son of George BRIGGS and Name filtered.Born 23 Mar 1770 at Warwick Kent, RI, died 1859 at Smyrna, Chenango Co, NY, 88 or 89 years Received only $10 in his father's will but was named as executor. He owned a farm in Smyrna. He was a leading member of the Society of Friends and his daughters were strict Quakers and dressed in Quaker costume (from Lila Sampson's book). He was listed in the 1800, 1810, 1820 and 1830 Census records for Smyrna, and in the 1828 Quaker census. In 1790, he is found in the Census of Little Compton, RI. His will, signed July 5, 1856 in Smyrna, left money to the children of his deceased son, Giles, namely Marvin and Jane. The will was recorded April . 9, 1859 in Book H page 437, (I think. Difficult to read) In the 1800 census on line, I found Arnold in the town of Sherborne, and in Smyrna in 1820,30, 40 and 1850. In 1850, he was listed as a farmer, 80 years old, with property valued at $600, Ruth age 45, Lovina, 41 and Jason, 49 living at home In the 1850 Census of Richmond, Ontario Co. an Arnold Briggs is listed as a resident. I have not found him there before, but also have never found another Arnold BRIGGS. Other Arnold BRIGGS mentioned in Massachusetts at about the same time, as being married to a "Mary".

NY Apparently, after he died, Orril married Ezra CORBIN in Forestville, NY in 1849. In 1831, Giles and Orril purchased property in the town of Hanover, Chautauqua Co. NY, paying $400, which they sold in 1833 for $500. (See copy of the "Indenture".) Giles is listed in the 1840 Census on line as being age 40-50, with a wife, 40-50, which is correct, but children are listed as one male, age 15-20, one male, age 20-30 (Marvin fits that), and one female, age 15-20 (Jane?) Who is the other male, and what happened to him, and when? Giles lived in Sherbourne, Chenango Co in the 1820 census and in Hanover in 1820 (Roll 272 Pg. 316) and in 1830 in Roll 86, page 385. 2.
