Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and/or to other sources as noted herein.)
John and Abigail and family were residents of Newport and Kingstown, RI, according to "Representative Men of Old Families of Southeastern MA," V. I, p. 173.

Boyd Scott Remington's ancestry chart has John's date of birth as 12 March 1651.

He became a freeman 30 April 1678.

See notes for his father. Some of the information cited there could pertain to this John Remington.

John married Abigail Richmond 1679. Abigail (daughter of Edward RICHMOND, I and Abigail DAVIS) was born Abt 1656, Newport, RI; died 20 Jul 1744, South Kingstown, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Abigail's parents were "of Haverhill, MA."

She was the widow of John Remington when she married Henry Gardner (see notes for Henry!).

The Rev. Dr. MacSparran in his diary (Sept 30th and Oct 4th 1744) speaks of the death of his wife's grandmother, at the great age of eighty-eight years.

If Abigail was the daughter of Edward's second wife, Abigail, she must have been born after Edward who was born in 1658, son of Amey.
