Mary Wood

On 29 Oct 1836, Mary Remington appeared at the Court of Common Pleas, Providence County, to testify concerning her husband's military service. On that date Mary was a resident of Cranston, and was a widow age 78.

According to the Revolutionary War Pension File, this couple had three children still living in March 1837: Charles, Daniel, & William. Based on that information, I have included those names in this family group, and have pieced together data as best as I can to determine who these individuals were. This family is still in ongoing research; it is possible that there were additional children.

The RI Death Index identifies the parents of Charles Remington as Thomas & Mary. I am not absolutely sure that his parents were the Thomas Remington, Jr., & Mary Wood who were married in Warwick in 1778, but it seems to be a reasonable assumption, based on Thomas's pension file which mentions a son Charles, the location, and the time frame. So, for the time being, until research shows otherwise, I am including Mary's maiden name as Wood (see marriage record and the same date in the pension file), and am entering their marriage data as such, with this particular Charles as a son.

The marriage record at Warwick identifes Mary Wood as daughter of William.

She may have been a sister of Olney Wood who married Rosanna Remington. Both Olney and Mary were children of a William Wood.

In the 1830 census, Sally Ann Wood, widow of Olney Wood, and two William Woods are living near Thomas & Patience Remington and family.

Mary married Thomas Remington, Jr. 7 Jun 1778, Warwick, RI. Thomas (son of Thomas Remington, Sr. and Mary Collins) was born Between 1745 and 1758; died 19 Jan 1831. [Group Sheet]
