He is still there in 1850, with his wife Mary and two daughters -- Margaret & Sarah, and daughter-in-law Lydia M. In the 1860 census, Benedict & Mary are ages 61 & 62, still residing at Northbridge.

The name on his gravestone reads Benedick Remington.

Notes:

Her gravestone reads, Mary A. Remington, wife of Benedick, died 16 June 1869 at age 71 y 3 m 13 d.

Notes:

Boyd Scott Remington's chart has the date of marriage as 4 June 1815. However, if that is correct, Benedict would have been only 15 years old! Perhaps the 8 was misread for a 5.

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]
