    Notes:

    Boyd Scott Remington does not list the last three children in this family; however, they are listed in the genealogy at the Suffield Historical Society. Hannah is listed in "Thomas Remington of Suffield, CT, and Some of His Descendants."

    An SAR application says Hannah Remington born 25 March 1723 (no parents given) married Joseph Leavitt. The will of Hannah Leavitt mentions brother Samuel Remington as Executor, but genealogies show Samuel son of John and Hannah died in 1763, before Hannah's will was written in 1769. I wonder if that date of death is incorrect. why would she name her deceased brother as Executor? I haven't been able to find another Samuel who might have had a sister Hannah in this time frame.

    Notes:

    (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and/or to other sources as noted herein.)
    Thomas and his elder brother, John the second [Jr.], were born in Yorkshire, England, and came to America with their parents. They may have come from the town of Rowley.

    Clarence Almon Torrey, in "New England Marriages Prior to 1700," estimates Thomas's year of birth as 1633. Genealogist Gordon L. Remington suggests 1633, in his article "Sabin-Remington-Hunt Notes" in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Oct. 1993, p. 371.

    Thomas was a freeman at Rowley, MA, in 1651. His home there is mentioned in the inventory of his father's estate. In the early 1670s he moved to Connecticut, which at that time was part of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He became a freeman at Windsor in 1672; he was granted land in in Suffield in 1674, and was selectman in 1682. Dewey's book says he moved to Suffield prior to the birth of his son Benjamin in 1677, and took the oath of allegiance in 1679 with his sons Thomas & John, they being then 16 years old and upwards. He was selectman there for six terms between 1682 and 1699; and tithingman for two terms -- 1693/94 and 1699/00. "The History of Suffield" by H. S. Sheldon speaks of Thomas Remington, son of John of Newbury, as having had a grant of land of sixty acres on Feather Street, Suffield, and his son Jonathan had a grant of thirty acres next to his father's lot. Remington Street in Suffield, once called Northampton Road, takes its name from this family. (See "Thomas Remington of Suffield, Conn. and Some of His Descendants" by Louis Marinus Dewey, published in 1909 by the New England Historic Genealogical Society, Boston.)

    From the Suffield Historical Society website: "The settling of The Town of Suffield as part of Massachusetts began in 1670. The first settlers were all land grantees, given land if they moved to Suffield and improved their land. Between 1670 and 1682, grants of 40 to 60 acres were typically given depending on family size and status. The 30 families identified here were all proprietors [original land grantees] of the Town of Suffield [includes Thomas Remington] . . . Suffield is recorded as Suffield, CT in this Suffield database even though it was Suffield, MA until 1749."

    Thomas was called "Goodman Remington" in early records. In 1690 he was one of five men on a committee assigned to find a minister for the town -- "to dispense the things of God unto them, and repair the breaches amongst them, and reunite them all again in peace and love."
    (See "Remingtons of Utah. . . " by Ward Jay Roylance, p. 128.)

    Thomas Remington, second son of John the first, moved to Connecticut, where he was the first of the Suffield, CT branch of the Remingtons. He married Mehitable Walker in Rowley, MA in 1658, and became a freeman there in 1672. About 1677 he removed to Suffield and died there 22 Feb. 1721. (Further material on Thomas and this branch of the family can be found in: the Encyclopedia of American Biography, Vol. 4, p. 243; and New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Vol. 63 & 64, compiled by L. M. Dewey.)

    Thomas married Mehitable Walker 19 Mar 1657/58, Rowley, MA. Mehitable (daughter of Richard Walker and Jane Talmadge) was born Abt 1638; died 17 Dec 1718, Suffield, CT. [Group Sheet]


  2. 9.  Mehitable Walker was born Abt 1638 (daughter of Richard Walker and Jane Talmadge); died 17 Dec 1718, Suffield, CT.

    Notes:

    One online database has her date of death as 17 Dec 1718 (see Paul Remington's web site).

    The Remington Family book, compiled by Martha A. Benns, has the children and their dates listed on p. 30.

    Notes:

    According to "New England Marriages Prior to 1700" ( by Clarence Almon Torrey, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, 1985), the date of this marriage is 19 March 1657/8. Boyd Scott Remington has 19 Jan 1658. The town records probably say "the first month," which at that time was March. An online transcript of the Rowley records has 19 June 1658, as does Carl Boyer's "Ancestral Lines Revised.".
