Anne Celia Remington

Anne married Horace Merrill Horton 1 Jun 1865. Horace was born 27 May 1837, Pomeroy, OH. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

From web site newenglandancestors.org:
"REMINGTON, William Holdredge, ' Moved from R. I. to Pomeroy, Ohio,' h. REMINGTON, Eliphalet (d. Job Randall of Cranston, R.I. ), ch. William and Patty or Martha (Adams), b. --, 1810 [? in Pawtuxet, R.I. ], P.R.28. Greenfield," MA records (probably from Adams family Bible records). Eliphalet is likely a mistranscription of Elizabeth.

In the 1850 Federal Census, William & Elizabeth are living at Pomeroy, Meigs Co., Ohio, with their five children: P. E., Anne C., Benjamin R., Martha M., & Mary H. William is a merchant.

In 1860 the family is at Salisbury, Meigs Co., OH. The household includes: W. H. Remington, 50 RI, merchant; Elizabeth P., 41 RI; Ansela, 16 OH; Benjamin R., 13 OH; Martha, 11 OH; Mary, 9 OH; & Emer, 7 OH.

They are still living there in 1870, and their young adult children in the household are: Benjamin, Mary, & Emma. William 60 and son Benjamin 24 are dry goods merchants; Elizabeth 57 is keeping house; Mary 19 "helps mother"; and Emma 17 is attending school. (Roll: M593_1242, Page: 165, Image: 331)

In 1880 William & Elizabeth are still at Pomeroy, OH, and are ages 70 & 61. William is a retired merchant. With them is son Benjamin R., 43; it looks as if his occupation is "Hardware & stationery."

As a point of interest, William was likely named after his father William, and also after Deacon William Holdridge/Holdredge, who died at Pawtuxet 5 Dec 1828 in his 86th year.

William married Elizabeth Palmer Randall Abt 1835, RI. Elizabeth (daughter of Job Randall and Ann Celia Greene) was born Abt 1816, RI; died Aft 1 Jun 1880, OH. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The marriage reference says her name was "Eliphalet Randall, d. of Job, of Cranston." (newenglandancestors.org) I think it likely that her name was Elizabeth, and was misread in the transcription.

A family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect has her name as Elizabeth Palmer Randall, so I have added her middle name as Palmer, pending verification. Her great-grandmother was Bethiah (Palmer) Randall (see notes for her). "Elizabeth P. Randall" is mentioned by name as a granddaughter in the 5 Jan 1835 will of Patience Randall of Cranston, RI. The will also mentions a son named Job. (RI Genealogical Register, Vol. 10, p. 52, Cranston Wills)

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give source credit to Lois Sorensen, Remington family researcher and compiler, and to other sources as noted herein.)

William's will dated 31 May 1852 mentions his (second) wife Avis and sons Henry A., Edward, & William H.

The death record at Warwick City Hall reads: "William Remington, son of Thomas; trader, d. 23 June 1852 age 73." (Note: James N. Arnold's published transcription of this record is incorrect; I have viewed the original twice for verification) The RI Death Index agrees with the original.

I do not have absolute proof of the identity of William's parents, but the available evidence points to this Thomas and Mary. It is known that his father is Thomas. The most likely possibility is Thomas Remington, Jr., who married Mary Wood, d/o William, at Warwick on 7 June 1778, by Elder Charles Holden. (Consequently, I am tentatively placing him in this family; research is ongoing to confirm.)

William is mentioned as a son in Thomas Remington's Revolutionary War Pension File # W13847.

Research throughout Rhode Island has shown that there is no record of any other William, son of Thomas.

William owned a house which is now known as the Remington House, at 71 Remington Street in Pawtuxet, Warwick, RI. This house was at one time rented to the Pawtuxet school district for use as a school. An old receipt shows that William was paid $3 per month, for a total of $12, covering the period from 9 Dec 1833 to 8 Apr 1834. Most likely, ownership of the house was passed down to son Henry after William's death, since Henry is indicated as owner on an 1855 map. (source: "Pawtuxet Schools" by Henry A. L. Brown, an article in "The Bridge" Fall 2005 Vol. 31 No. 2, p. 10 -- A Newsletter of the Pawtuxet Village Association)

The plaque on the front of the William Remington house has the date 1728. Does this mean the house was built that year? Also, who built the house -- a Remington ancestor or someone else? This needs more research. (I have photographed this house; image available upon request.)

Notes:

William & Pattey were married by Alexander Havens, Justice.

Notes:

A family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect has the following information on Job:
Birth: 1 OCT 1794 in Cranston, RI
Death: 5 JUN 1876 in Athens, OH

In the Federal Census of 1850, Job & Anne are living at Athens, OH. Son Benjamin P. Randall, age 27 is with them; also a black woman named Betsy, 31; and Joseph 2 mulatto.

In the 1860 Federal Census, Job & Ann C. are still at Athens. There are three other individuals living with them; Ann Eliza Stewart 40 (may be Betsy above), Joseph 12 (may be Joseph above), and Kingsly Sunderland 16. Next door is Benjamin P. Randall, his wife Ann, and their two children.

In the 1870 Federal Census, Job is a widower, still living at Athens. His son Benjamin, wife and five children, are with him, along with three other individuals, two of whom are probably Ann Eliza (Sweet, Stewart?) and Joseph as above.

Job married Ann Celia Greene Abt 1815. Ann was born Abt 1795, RI; died Aft 1 Jun 1860, Athens, OH. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The name of Ann Celia Greene as wife of Job was obtained from a family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect. I have not yet verified this. However, in the censuses she is Ann C. Randall. Also, both of her children named a daughter Ann C. or Anne Celia.

Could she be this individual?
Cecelia Ann Celia Greene was born on 18 Mar 1789 in Cranston, Providence, RI, d/o John Coddington Greene and Anna Chapman
(source: http://www.comnett.net/~benjamin/geneology/pafg11.htm#688)

Elsewhere her dob is given as 17 June 1798 (no documentation noted).

I have tentatively determined this Thomas Remington's parentage from his Revolutionary War pension file, in which his sister Mary Bennett gives a sworn testimony. I have made an assumption that his sister Mary Bennett, is the same Mary as the daughter of Thomas & Mary (Collins) Remington.

It is possible that Mary (Remington) Bennett and her brother Thomas, Jr., were children of a different Thomas Remington; however, given their ages and locality, this family is the most likely. No other Thomas Remington of record has proved to be a possibility, although there were other Thomas Remingtons born in Rhode Island of whom nothing else is known.

According to his pension file data at the National Archives in Waltham (George Sermuksnis, Archives Technician), Thomas was residing at Providence when he received his pension. He lived in Warwick during the the Revolutionary War.

Please note that some online genealogies have shown Mary Wood as a second wife for the Thomas Remington, Jr., who is the son of Thomas & Abigail (Eldred) Remington, of Cowesett, Warwick, RI. However, that is incorrect, as that Thomas has a different date of death: 6 Aug 1817. His grave is in Coventry, RI. Also, there is no William or Charles among their known children.

From "Genealogical Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pension Files," Vol. III: N - Z, abstracted by Virgil D. White, The National Historical Publishing Co., Waynesboro, TN, 1992, p. 2849, summary of his pension file:

"REMINGTON Thomas, Mary, RI Line, W13847, sol was a son of Thomas Remington & he m Mary daughter or [sic] William Wood on 7 Jun 1778 at Warwick RI, sol d 19 Jan 1831, wid appl 29 Octg [sic] 1836 at Cranston RI & she d there 29 Mar 1837 & the bal due wid at her death was paid to the following children; Charles, Daniel & William Remington her only surviving children."

Although Thomas was a Revolutionary War Veteran and his wife Mary received his pension, it is not known where either of them is buried.

The Federal Census of 1790 lists 4 Thomas Remingtons in Warwick. I am assuming that one of these is this particular Thomas, likely the one designated as Thomas Remington, Jr. and living near another Thomas Remington. The household shows 5 free white males under age 16, 1 free white male 16 and over, and 3 free white females. This suggests that there may have been 5 sons and 2 daughters in the family at that time.

"Cousin Thomas Remington Jr. of Coventry" is named as executor in the 1805 will of Thomas Collins of Foster, yeoman, who died about Mar 1818 when the will was proved.

There may have been a son named Henry. The 1810 census shows a Charles Remington and a Henry Remington listed next to each other. Both Charles and William included the name Henry among their children.

The inventory of the estate of Thomas Remington was taken between June and August 1831. Charles Remington was the Administrator, appraisers were Christopher Spencer, Edmund Burke, and George Carder. The image of the inventory, totalling $91.11, is viewable at ancestry.com. Two of the individuals listed as having claims are William and Joseph Remington.

Thomas married Mary Wood 7 Jun 1778, Warwick, RI. Mary (daughter of William Wood) was born Abt 1758; died 29 Mar 1837, Cranston, Providence Co., RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give source credit to Lois Sorensen, Remington family researcher and compiler, and to other sources as noted herein.)

On 29 Oct 1836, Mary Remington appeared at the Court of Common Pleas, Providence County, to testify concerning her husband's military service. On that date Mary was a resident of Cranston, and was a widow age 78.

According to the Revolutionary War Pension File, this couple had three children still living in March 1837: Charles, Daniel, & William. Based on that information, I have included those names in this family group, and have pieced together data as best as I can to determine who these individuals were. This family is still in ongoing research; it is possible that there were additional children.

The RI Death Index identifies the parents of Charles Remington as Thomas & Mary. I am not absolutely sure that his parents were the Thomas Remington, Jr., & Mary Wood who were married in Warwick in 1778, but it seems to be a reasonable assumption, based on Thomas's pension file which mentions a son Charles, the location, and the time frame. So, for the time being, until research shows otherwise, I am including Mary's maiden name as Wood (see marriage record and the same date in the pension file), and am entering their marriage data as such, with this particular Charles as a son.

The marriage record at Warwick identifes Mary Wood as daughter of William.

She may have been a sister of Olney Wood who married Rosanna Remington. Both Olney and Mary were children of a William Wood.

In the 1830 census, Sally Ann Wood, widow of Olney Wood, and two William Woods are living near Thomas & Patience Remington and family.

Remington Thomas, Jr., of Thomas, and Mary Wood, of William ; m. by Eld. Charles Holden, June 7, 1778 (Arnold's VRs, Warwick Marriages, p 96).

Notes:

Information on the children of Andrew & his second wife Betsey, as well as the date of Andrew's first marriage, came from Linda Poast. She mentioned the source as an Adams Family Bible extract published in the Vital Records of Greenfield, MA.

These records are also available online at newenglandancestors.org

Andrew was of Northbridge, MA, when he married his second wife Betsey.

I am fairly sure that these records pertain to this particular Andrew Adams:

1759 ADAMS Andrew, h. Molly (Morse), h. Betsey (Chapin), Nov. 7,1759, in Sutton ("now Northbridge"), Worcester Co., P.R.28. Birth Greenfield

1759 ADAMS Andrew, s. John of Uxbridge, bap. Dec. 9, 1759. C.R. Birth Grafton

Andrew married Molly Morse Between Dec 1780 and Jan 1781, Southborough, MA. Molly was born Abt 1760; died Between 1785 and 1790. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

1780 MORSE Molly of Southborough, and Andrew Adams, in Southborough, Dec. 10, 1780 (int., Dec. 25, 1780). Marriage Northbridge

I have not determined her parentage, but she may be a daughter of Benjamin Morse and Mary James, who were married in Southborough 26 Oct 1750; OR of Joseph Morse and Joanna Newton, married in Southborough 3 Jan 1753..

Notes:

The marriage is recorded at Southborough, MA, as 4 Jan 1781.

Notes:

Jeremiah Randall was a soldier in the Revolutionary War.

RANDALL Jeremiah, at Pawtuxet, in 79th year, Sept. 23, 1830

Jeremiah married Patience Aborn 20 Apr 1788, Cranston, Providence Co., RI. Patience (daughter of James Aborn and Hannah Westgate) was born 25 Jun 1770; died 14 Feb 1835; was buried , Arnold-Pawtuxet Burial Ground, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Patience Randall's will mentions son Job, daughter Bethiah, and grandchildren Benjamin, Elizabeth P. amd Mary G.
