In the 1850 Federal Census, William & Emily are living at Blackstone, Worcester Co., MA. They have one son, William P., 3.

In the 1860 Federal census, William & Emily are ages 44 & 43, living at Burrillville, Providence Co., RI. With them are William J. (P?) Remington 13, and Walter S. Remington, 1.

In the 1870 Federal Census, William & Emily are ages 54 & 53, still living at Burrillville. William P. is 23 and Walter S. is 11. They are next door to Eddy & Emily Keach. Possibly Eddy is a brother of Emily Remington. This needs more research.

Some additional information on the children of William & Emily and their future generations was kindly provided by Michael Edward Remington, a descendant, as footnoted hereafter.

William married Emily Keach 22 Feb 1838. Emily (daughter of Asahel Keach and Betsey Unknown) was born Abt 1817, RI; died 3 Mar 1875, RI. [Group Sheet]

John's death record at Blackstone, MA, names his parents as Benedict and Ruth Remington.

In the 1830 Federal Census, John was residing at Mendon, Worcester County, MA.

In the 1850 Federal Census, the family is at Blackstone, Worcester Co., MA. In the household are John 56, Hannah 57, Ann C. 33, Ruth 30, Eunice S. 26, Mary C. 23, & John Jr. 18. All of the children were born in MA, as was their father. Also living there is Horace Parmenter, 27 CT. Is he a relative?

In 1860 they are still at Blackstone. The family group consists of the following: John 67, Hannah 68, Mary 34, Mason DeWitt (Mason D. White) 45, Sarah (his wife) 32, and their three young children -- Lizzie 5, Mason W. 2, & Evaline 6 mos.

John married Hannah S. Remington 3 Apr 1815, Mendon, MA. Hannah (daughter of Tiddeman H. Remington and Elizabeth Sheffield) was born 14 Jan 1792, Jamestown, RI; died 27 Dec 1875, Blackstone, MA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

According to her death record, Hannah died at age 83 y 11 m 17 d, cause of death was "old age." It ways she was a widow, died in Blackstone, and was born in Jamestown, RI. Her parents are given as Tideman & Elizabeth Remington. In the 1870 Federal Census, Hannah Remington is age 78, widowed, and living at Blackstone, MA, with her daughter Sarah and family. Sarah & Mason DeWitt have four children in the household: Lizzie 15, Warren W. 12, Eva 10, & George B. 7.

Benedict was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. According to BSR, he lived in Newport and Smithfield, RI.

His place of birth, Jamestown, was obtained from the death record of his son John. His marriage record in 1780 identifies him as being of Smithfield, and son of John & Mary, of Jamestown.

In the Federal Census of 1800, "Benedic Remmington" is listed in the 2nd Parish at Mendon, Worcester Co., MA.

RI American of 21 Dec 1819, death notice: "Remington, Benedict, at Pawtuxet, in 64th yr." (Did he die at Mendon, MA, or Pawtuxet, RI? I think he probably died in Mendon, MA, and that the newspaper was in error -- needs more research to confirm.)

The Battey Family Papers give his date of death as 9 Dec 1819.

Benedict married Ruth Southwick 5 Oct 1780, Smithfield, RI. Ruth (daughter of Daniel Southwick, III and Ruth Mussey) was born 20 Mar 1755, Mendon, MA; died 10 Jun 1813, Mendon, MA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

From Arnold's VRs: "REMINGTON Benedict, of Smithfield, son of John and Mary, of Jamestown, and Ruth Southwick, Jr., of Daniel and Ruth, of Mendon, 5d 10m 1780."

His middle name was probably Hull.

Tiddeman Remington witnessed the will of Joseph Mitchell, 11 May 1784 at Newport.

Although in the past I was not sure that Tiddeman belonged in this family group, Clemence (Remington) Cornell's family Bible record places Tiddeman in this family, along with his 7 siblings.

I first placed him here because of a number of factors. First of all, his Rev. War pension file states his date and location of birth, and they could place him here in this family. The file also has a reference to a John Remington of Jamestown, RI, although the relationship is not stated. Furthermore, the names of some of his children suggest a relationship to Gershom & Clemence Remington, parents of John. His own name suggests a relationship to Tiddeman Hull. There were at least three individuals with that name, and I believe all were descended from John Hull, Sr. & Alice Tiddeman. Perhaps his mother's maiden name was Hull, or even Tiddeman. There was a Mary Hull at Jamestown of the correct age to be his mother; she was a daughter of Tiddeman Hull b.1682. Lastly, Tiddeman H. Remington lived for a time in Mendon, MA, and Benedict Remington (who I suppose was his brother) also did. (This family needs more research.)

Tiddeman H. Remington enlisted in RI as a Private in the Revolution. (Pvt. RI PNSR)

His pension file is difficult to read. From what I can decipher, as of 1831/32 Tiddeman was "of Newport"; Sept 1832 he was of Mendon, MA, when he appeared in court at Newport; he went to MA as of 4 Mar 1838; had also lived in Brooklyn, MA, for 3 years. His truthfulness was sworn to by John Remington and Ebenezer Carr of Jamestown, RI.

Tiddeman was brought up in Jamestown, and moved to MA in 1822. In the 1830 Federal Census, Tiddeman is residing at Mendon, Worcester County, MA. It was there that he applied for a Revolutionary War Pension on 14 Sep 1832. The DAR Patriot Index says he died in 1843 in MA; the Mendon, MA, records say he died in 1842, no specific date, and that he was a Pensioner: "Tideman Remington died of Old age ____ 1842 Aged 88 years Husbandman & a pentioner."

From David Gips: "There is a death citation for Tiddeman Remington in the Massachusetts Spy (Worcester) 1 Mar 1843: 'In Mendon (Blackstone village) Feb 16th Mr. Tideman (sic) Remington, a Revolutionary pensioner, formerly of Jamestown, RI 83.' "

Tiddeman married Elizabeth Sheffield Abt 1786. Elizabeth was born Abt 1765; died 16 Aug 1838, Mendon, MA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.)
In the will of her sister, Hannah Sheffield, proved 8 Oct 1821 at North Kingstown, RI, Elizabeth is mentioned as the wife of Tiddeman Remington of Jamestown. Also mentioned is another sister Sarah, wife of Josiah Shove of Mendon, MA, as well as a deceased brother (name not readable) and three nieces, Mary, Elizabeth, & Hannah. There is no mention of a husband or children, so the implication is that Hannah is single.

The DAR Patriot Index, Centennial Edition, Part III, P-Z, p. 2435, identifies the wife of Tiddeman H. Remington as Elizabeth Sheffield.

Elsewhere it has been suggested that she was Elizabeth Anthony, probably because of Ann/Nancy's middle name.
