Notes:

Many genealogies have Samuel's date of death as 18 March 1763, a date of death shown in the Barbour Collection for a Samuel Remington. However, that date cannot pertain to this particular Samuel, for reasons stated below.

Samuel Remington is named as Executor in the will of his sister, Hannah Leavitt, dated 3 Feb 1769. The documents show that Samuel presented the inventory of her estate on 15 June 1769 at Suffield.

Two entries in the Barbour Collection of vital records refer to him as Samuel 2nd, but the death date of 1763 does not say Samuel 2nd. Furthermore, it has no age at death.

Findgrave.com shows the headstone of Samuel Remington who died 17 Aug 1788 in 82nd year of his age; this agrees with his birth year of 1707 (he would have been age 81 when he died in his 82nd year).

By future due
Which I have paid
And so must you

Samuel married Abigail Lane 26 Dec 1734, Suffield, Hartford County, CT. Abigail was born Abt 1710. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Her parents may have been Samuel Lane & Abigail Hovey.

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.

John married Hannah Hale 19 Dec 1700, Windsor, CT. Hannah (daughter of Timothy Hale and Sarah Barber) was born 14 Sep 1680, Windsor, CT; died 1 Apr 1768. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Hannah is mentioned as Hannah Remington, sister, in the 1750 will of Josiah Hale of Suffield.

One source has a daughter, Hannah, born 25 Mar 1723. If this is accurate, she may have been a wife of Joseph Mills, Jr., who married a Hannah Remington. This needs more research to confirm if this Hannah belongs here and if she was one of Joseph's wives. (see Thomas Remington of Suffield, CT, and Some of His Descendants)
