RAZEE The Razee family is one of long and honorable standing in that part of Massachusetts and Rhode Island on either side of the line separating the two states, and since the middle, or before, of the eighteenth century the town of Cumberland, now a Rhode Island subdivision, has been their home. Especial reference is made to the family of the late Hon. Stafford Whipple Razee, who himself for so many years was one of the leading men of his community, representing it repeatedly in both branches of the general assembly of Rhode Island, and in various ways serving it in other official and useful capacities.
(I) Joseph Razee, the first of this name in Rhode Island, purchased several tracts of land along Diamond Hill Plains, in Cumberland.
