Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Ella Frances Remington was born Abt 1856, RI (daughter of George Thomas Remington and Betsey P. Knowles); died 1946; was buried , Pocasset Cemetery, Cranston, RI.

    Notes:

    In the 1880 Federal Census, she is living at Warwick, Kent, RI, age 23, a teacher, and listed as "Elesie." Possibly her name was Ella C. Remington. Her mother Betsey, age 55, was living with her.

    Ella married John Rice Watson 15 Mar 1881, RI. John was born 1856; died 1937; was buried , Pocasset Cemetery, Cranston, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Children:

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  George Thomas Remington was born 12 Dec 1830, RI (son of Thomas Russell Remington and Almira Dyer); died 22 Feb 1858, Warwick, RI; was buried , Pocasset Cemetery, Cranston, RI.

    Notes:

    In the 1850 Federal Census, this Remington family is living at Warwick, RI: George T. 20, Betsey P. 26, & Byron D. 1.

    George married Betsey P. Knowles Abt 1848. Betsey (daughter of Gardner Knowles and Hannah Unknown) was born 16 Jul 1823, RI; died 23 Aug 1890; was buried , Pocasset Cemetery, Cranston, RI. [Group Sheet]


  2. 3.  Betsey P. Knowles was born 16 Jul 1823, RI (daughter of Gardner Knowles and Hannah Unknown); died 23 Aug 1890; was buried , Pocasset Cemetery, Cranston, RI.

    Notes:

    I am making an assumption that this Betsey P. Remington, buried in the family plot at Pocasset Cemetery, is the wife of George T. Remington, also buried there.

    In the 1870 Federal Census, Betsey P. Remington is age 47, living at Warwick, RI. With her are Byron D., 20; and Ella F., 13.

    Betsey Remington is age 55 in the 1880 Federal Census at Warwick, Kent, RI, with her daughter "Elesie" age 23 (could it be Ella C.?).

    There is no other Betsey Remington to be found in RI, listed in the census at this time.

    Children:
    1. Byron D. Remington was born 30 Jul 1849, RI; died 22 Apr 1922; was buried , Pocasset Cemetery, Cranston, RI.
    2. 1. Ella Frances Remington was born Abt 1856, RI; died 1946; was buried , Pocasset Cemetery, Cranston, RI.


Generation: 3

  1. 4.  Thomas Russell Remington was born 30 Apr 1811, RI (son of Russell Remington and Rachael Colvin); died 18 Oct 1853; was buried , Pocasset Cemetery, Cranston, RI.

    Notes:

    This family appears to be listed twice in the 1850 Federal Census, at both Warwick, RI (5 Sep); and Scituate, RI (20 Sep) -- except George, who is already married, is not listed at Scituate.

    Warwick, 1850:
    Thomas Remmington 42
    Almira Remmington 42
    George Remmington 20
    Abby Remmington 18
    Henry Remmington 16
    Horace Remmington 13
    Andrew Remmington 12
    John Remmington 9

    Scituate, 1850 (ancestry has mis-transcribed the surname, but the image shows Remington):
    Thomas Kennington 41
    Almira Kennington 41
    Abby Kennington 18
    Henry Kennington 16
    Albert Kennington 12
    Horace Kennington 9
    Andrew J Kennington 6
    John H Kennington 4

    George is listed separately at Warick, with his wife and child:
    George T Remmington 20
    Betsey P Remmington 26
    Byron D Remmington 1

    It must be the same family, because most of the names are the same, as are the ages -- with slight differences for three of the children.

    Perhaps they were living at Warwick with (or next to) Susan Remington but in that month moved to Scituate.

    Thomas is not listed in the RI Death Index.
