    Notes:

    (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and/or to other sources as noted herein.)
    His birth record at Rowley, MA, says "last day 12m 1639." At this time March was the first month of the year.

    Jonathan settled at Cambridge, MA, where he was quite prominent in public life and military affairs. At various times he was Selectman, Town Clerk, and Treasurer. He was a captain in command of a military company during the winter and spring of 1675/76, and was active in the Indian War in 1689 at Groton, and in 1691 at Wells. He served with the Cambridge men under Capt. Davenport and in the Narragansett Campaign, King Philip's War, and was at the Great Swamp Fight. In the following winter, he was active in the command and supply of some of the garrisons in the interior towns. (see "New Eng. Hist. & Gen. Register," Vol. 42, p. 96 and Vol. 8, pp. 317-320)

    From 1682 until his death on 21 April 1700, he was proprietor of the original Blue Anchor Tavern at Cambridge, which he bought from his brother-in-law Andrew Belcher, Jr. His widow, Martha (Belcher) Remington, continued to run the tavern and inn until May of 1705. Jonathan Remington left a large family, among whom was Jonathan, born 27 July 1677, who graduated from Harvard in 1696 and was a professor there from 1703 to 1707 (see "New Eng. Hist. & Gen. Register," Vol. 46, pp. 5 & 6 and Vol. 8, pp. 317-320). Later he was Judge of the Probate Court for over forty years and was very highly esteemed for his learning, ability, and high character.

    One online family tree also has a Joseph & Elizabeth among his children (no source noted). I have included them here simply because there is space and therefore children may have been born during those years.

    Jonathan & Martha probably had a daughter named Mary who died 3 Dec 1690 (Cambridge VRs).

    Jonathan married Martha Belcher 13 Jul 1664, Cambridge, Middlesex, MA. Martha (daughter of Andrew Belcher and Elizabeth Danforth) was born 26 Jul 1644, MA; died 16 Jul 1711, Cambridge, MA. [Group Sheet]
