  1. 12.  Thomas Remington, IV was born 24 Oct 1747, Warwick, RI (son of Thomas REMINGTON, III and Abigail ELDREDGE); died 6 Aug 1817; was buried , Historical Cemetery 150, Silo Lane, Coventry, RI.

    Notes:

    (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher, and to other sources as noted herein.)

    According to Fuller's book "History of Warwick," Thomas was one of triplets, the other two of whom died. Another source says that it was his father Thomas who was one of triplets. In addition, a transcript of a Remington family Bible says it was his father.

    He was a Revolutionary War soldier. According to the manuscript "Revolutionary War -- Burial Place & Service of RI Patriots," located at the Knight Library in Providence, Thomas served as a fifer in Capt. Hawkins' Co., Col. Varnum's Regiment. It also says he died 6 August 1817 at age 70, and was buried in the family lot at the Remington Farm, west side of East Rd., Coventry.

    Death notice in the Providence Journal of 11 August 1817: "Judge Thomas Remington, at Coventry, RI, in 70th year." Martha A. Benns gives his date of death as 11 Aug 1817, but this is the date his death notice was in the newspaper.

    Some genealogies have this Thomas marrying Mary Wood, also. Thomas Remington, Jr., and Mary Wood were married 7 June 1778 at Warwick, RI. However, if the Revolutionary War Pension files are accurate, these are two different Thomases, since the dates of death are quite different. The other one, who married Mary Wood, died 19 January 1831.

    Thomas married Mary Rice 20 Dec 1772, Warwick, RI. Mary (daughter of Holden Rice and Elizabeth Warner) was born Abt 1752; died Aft 18 Mar 1779. [Group Sheet]


  2. 13.  Mary Rice was born Abt 1752 (daughter of Holden Rice and Elizabeth Warner); died Aft 18 Mar 1779.

    Notes:

    I found her date of birth in a transcription at the RI Historical Library: Family Bible Records, Vol. 4, p. 41. I am making the assumption that it pertains to this Mary who married Thomas.

    Notes:

    The Warwick marriage record says they were married by Thomas Rice, Jr., Justice.

    1. John Remington was born 25 Aug 1775, Coventry, RI; died 26 May 1814; was buried , Historical Cemetery 150, Silo Lane, Coventry, RI.
