Caroline Remington

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, James & Lucy are living at Northbridge, Worcester Co., MA. I don't see that their son is with them, so perhaps he died young.

In 1870 James C. & Lucy are still there, and James is a saloon keeper. In the household are two young women, Minnie Graves 18 NY & Louisa Rockwood 24 MA.

James's birth is recorded at Northbridge, but was at Mendon.

James married Lucy Munyon Prentice 7 May 1840, Milbury, MA. Lucy (daughter of Ezra Munyon and Sarah Knapp) was born Between 1818 and 1821, VT; died 3 Sep 1897. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Lucy's year of birth is recorded in VRs of Northbridge, MA, as 1818.

In the 1830 Federal Census, Benedict is residing at Northbridge, Worcester County, MA. 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. Their daughter Sarah L., age 24, is with them

The name on his gravestone reads Benedick Remington.

Benedict married Mary Ann Cathcart Abt Jun 1818, Mendon, MA. Mary (daughter of Jonathan Cathcart and Margaret Peggy Gaul) was born Abt Mar 1798, Nantucket, MA; died 16 Jun 1869, Northbridge, Worcester Co., MA; was buried , Blackstone Cemetery, Blackstone, MA. [Group Sheet]

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.

Ezra — Sarah Knapp. [Group Sheet]

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]

Notes:

From Arnold's VRs: "REMINGTON Benedict, of Smithfield, son of John and Mary, of Jamestown, and Ruth Southwick, Jr., of Daniel and Ruth, of Mendon, 5d 10m 1780."

Jonathan married Margaret Peggy Gaul 10 Jun 1790, Nantucket, MA. Margaret was born , Nantucket, MA. [Group Sheet]
