Olive S. Tiffany

Notes:

In the Federal Census of 1900, John & Luthera are living at Warwick, RI. They have three children. Also in the household is aunt Pheobe Remington, age 66; also a laborer, William Brown, age 18 b Ireland. In the Federal Census of 15 Apr 1910, the family is living at Warwick, RI.

In the Federal Census of 1910, John E. & Minnie P. Tiffany, ages 39 & 28, are living at Warwick, RI. Also in the household are: Olive S. 4, Violet 2, and Bertha Richardson 10 (stepdaughter).

John married Minnie Phebe Remington Abt 1905. Minnie (daughter of Charles E. Remington and Abbie Anna Bennett) was born Jul 1881, Warwick, RI; died 1959; was buried , Quidnessett Memorial Cemetery, North Kingstown, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Minnie's second husband, John Tiffany, was her second cousin, and also her cousin several other ways.

Notes:

In the 1880 Federal Census, William & Susan, ages 52 & 46, are living at Warwick, RI. They have two children in the household: Fannie E. 17 & John 10.

William — Susan M. Remington. Susan (daughter of Benjamin Remington and Hannah Bennett) was born Between 1833 and 1834; died 1914; was buried , Old Baptist Cemetery, Crompton, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1930 Federal Census, Chas E. & Abbie A. Remington, both 68, are living on Jefferson St., Warwick, RI.

In the same census there is another listing for a Charles E. Remington, age 68, widowed, living in District 16, Warwick, Kent Co., RI. He is next to Seth Remington, who would be the first cousin once removed of Abbie's husband. I am wondering if he is listed twice or if there is another Charles of the same age.

Charles died at age 76.

Charles married Abbie Anna Bennett 27 Jul 1879, RI. Abbie was born Abt Apr 1861; died 23 Feb 1948, Cowesett, Warwick, RI; was buried , Coventry Historical Cemetery 109, Manchester Cemetery, Washington St., Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]

Abbie Anna Remington died at 760 Cowesett Rd., Apponaug.

John — Olive Sheldon Potter. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Benjamin & Hannah are living at Warwick, Kent, RI, with children Andrew, Benjamin, Susan, Melissa, Albert, George, Charles, & Sarah.

In the 1860 Federal Census, the family is still in Warwick, and consists of: Benjamin 51, Hannah 53, Andrew J. 30, Charles 15, Sarah A. 12, Ellen 25, & Edgar 3. Also in the household is daughter "Melissa D. Payne" and her husband and children. They are living near Benjamin's uncle Jonathan Remington, b. c. 1785, and his daughter Sally b. c. 1814.

In 1870, the family -- still at Warwick -- includes: Benjamin, 61; Hannah, 63; & George, 38; next door is Albert F., 30, a peddlar; and Sarah M., 24.

In 1880, Benjamin is still at Warwick. The household includes: Benjamin Remington 78; Thomas Paine 42 (son-in-law); Malissa Paine 43 (dtr); Paine grandchildren Frank E. 13, George R. 11, & Minnie M. 8; John S. Paine 35 (son-in-law); Paine grandchildren Cora E. 9 & Charles R. 7. Next door is son Albert 40 and his wife Sarah 32.

Benjamin married Hannah Bennett Abt 1828. Hannah (daughter of Asa Bennett and Nabby Unknown) was born 13 Sep 1806; died 9 Nov 1875, RI; was buried , WW4, Old Baptist Cemetery, Crompton, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The names of Hannah's parents are noted in her death entry at Warwick City Hall.

The RI Cemetery Database has her birth year as 1808.

Notes:

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

In the 1850 Federal Census he is living with his mother and three brothers, as well as a sister-in-law and her sister.

In the 1860 Federal Census, Jonathan M. & Phebe A. Remington, ages 41 & 23, are living in Cowesett near Benjamin F. & Sarah Remington. This places his year of birth c1819. Benjamin F. is Jonathan's first cousin.

In the 1880 Federal Census "Johnathan" & Phebe are still at Warwick, ages 63 & 46. Again, this confirms the birth year of 1817. Living with them are son Charles E. 19 and his wife Abby A. 19.

The City of Warwick vital records have this entry: "Jonathan Monroe Remington d. Oct 9, 1885 age 68 son of Thomas & Elizabeth"; however, the RI Death Index has his name and exact age and date of death for Jonathan M. Remington, son of James & Sally Remington. Which one is authoritative? I believe the Warwick records are incorrect in this case, and that that particular death record belongs to the son of James & Sally. Perhaps the city clerk was confused about which of the Jonathans had died.

The age at death puts the birth year at c1817, which agrees with the birth date of Johnathan M. Remington, s/o James & Sally, as found in the family Bible of William R. Remington.

This Jonathan Remington is buried in West Warwick Historical Cemetery #007, the Old Baptist Cemetery in Crompton. The RI Cemetery Database notes that he was h/o Phebe A. Cleveland. There is a Phebe Remington in that cemetery, but her dates are 1806-1845; she is Jonathan's sister. There is a Phebe A. Remington in Cranston Historical Cemetery # 002, but her dates are 1841-1912. If these dates are correct, neither is Phebe (Cleveland) Remington. This needs more research. Possibly Phebe is buried in the family plot but has no stone. (see notes for Phebe A. Cleveland)

His gravestone spells his name Johnathan.

In William R. Remington's family Bible, he is listed as Johnathan M. Remington. The handwriting is probably that of his brother William or their mother Sarah.

On 15 April 1840, a Jonathan Remington was listed as a Freeman of Exeter. Since Exeter is next to West Greenwich, this may -- or may not -- be the same person. (see RI Genealogical Register, V. 2, No. 1, p. 45)

Perhaps Jonathan was born in Warwick; then possibly moved to Exeter, where he became a freeman at about age 23; and sometime later married Phebe of West Greenwich, after which they moved to Warwick and lived near his relatives. Perhaps Phebe went to stay with her mother to have their son, born in 1861 at West Greenwich.

There is a death record at Warwick, 25 March 1868, for a Mary Remington, daughter of Jonathan & Abby, born Warwick c1843. Perhaps Abby & Mary belong to this Jonathan M. Remington (needs more research). Could Abby have a prior wife?

Or, possibly he was Jonathan R. Remington "of Warwick" who married Martha C. Babcock "of Coventry," at Coventry 10 Oct 1841, as a prior marriage. However, the middle initial is incorrect.

There is a third Jonathan Remington in the extended family in this generation, born c. 1809 - 1810. I have not positively determined who his parents are, although I am fairly sure he is the son of Thomas & Betsey, also in this extended family.

Johnathan married Phebe A. Cleveland Between 1850 and 1860. Phebe was born 3 Oct 1833, West Greenwich, RI; died Aft 1 Jan 1920. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Phebe A. Cleveland was age 18 -- a weaver, and living at Warwick, Kent, RI, in a household with William Arnold, 50, and four members of the Capron family.

In the 1900 Federal Census, Pheobe Remington is age 66, living at Warwick with the family of John E. Tiffany, who is a son of William & Susan (Remington) Tiffany.

In 1920 Phebe M. Remington is age 87, living at Warwick with Minnie B. (Remington) Barrett and her third husband Harrison.
