In 1920 the census says Georgie is divorced; in 1930 it says widow. Her mother, Sarah Paine, is living with Georgie; she is a widow ages 59 and 72.

Notes from Donald Dewey, 15 Nov 2009:
"Colonel George Sanford Burton was a surgeon in the Third Rhode Island Heavy Artillery during the Civil War. He lived in East Greenwich, Rhode Island in a family house at the corner of Post Road and Bay View Avenue. His only surviving daughter Georgie Burton Hazard was born in 1884, the year he died. She had no children. The Colonel's widow Sarah P. Remington Burton remarried a George Paine. Georgie Burton adored her father and detested Paine and resented her mother from then after.

"Georgie Sanford Burton went to East Greenwich Academy in East Greenwich and married the brother of my grandmother Bowdoin Frothingham Hazard of Shrewsbury, NJ. Georgie B. Hazard divorced Bowdoin in 1912 and went on to found a highly regarded school at 59 East Front Street in Red Bank, NJ, which was called Burton Hall. She operated the school until she had a stroke in 1963. She died at our house in Virginia in 1965 and is buried with her father in Warwick, R.I.

"Several of my mother's siblings and both my older sister and brother went to her school. I heard all the stories about Colonel Burton and have his saber and other items such as his marriage certificate that "Aunt Georgie" kept of her father's. She closed the school in the summer and lived up until her stroke in her father's house. Burton Hall had no grade levels - you graduated when she said you graduated - most of her pupils were accepted to Ivy League colleges and universities. The older pupils taught the younger pupils. Everyone learned Greek and Latin.

"Colonel Burton was married twice. A Daniel Hazard who lives in California is the descendent of Burton's first marriage."

Notes:

Franklin and Maria Remington were both baptized on 12 July 1874 at the Baptist Church of East Greenwich, RI. I am making an assumption that they were husband and wife. They also died approximately a year apart.

In the 1870 Federal Census, Franklyn Remington is age 51, living at East Greenwich, RI. With him is Mariah, 39, and Sarah P., 13.

In the 1880 Federal Census, Franklin & Maria are living in Warwick, RI, with Sarah P. & Lydia A., ages 23 and 1. From the Warwick birth records, it appears that the infant was the illegitimate child of Sarah, their daughter. Lydia's father was William W. Allen, born in East Greenwich.

Franklin married Maria Unknown Abt 1854. Maria was born Between 1831 and 1832, RI; died 20 Jan 1887; was buried , East Greenwich Cemetery, EG38, First Ave., East Greenwich, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1870 census her name is given as Mariah.

Notes:

Most likely his middle name was Eldridge, named after his paternal grandmother.

James & Sally were first cousins, since his father and her mother were siblings to each other; their parents were also siblings of our ancestor Jonathan.

There is a James E. Remington at East Greenwich in the 1830 US Census.

The 1850 US Census for Warwick has:
Sarah Remington, widow, 73
Charles E. Remington, weaver, 28
Dorcas Remington, 20
Franklin Remington, 24, agriculture
William Remington, 22, agriculture
Jonathan Remington, 23, agriculture

James married Sarah Sally Rice 7 Sep 1802, Warwick, RI. Sarah (daughter of William Rice and Maplet Remington) was born 4 Sep 1783, Warwick, RI; died 14 Jun 1860, Warwick, RI; was buried , William Rice Lot, West Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

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.)

Sarah Rice was first cousin to our ancestor Maplet.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Sarah Remington, widow age 75, is living at Warwick, Kent, RI. With her are : Charles E. 23 (her son - a weaver), Dorcas 20 (his first wife), Mary E. Bates 10 (sister of Dorcas; later became Charles's second wife), and three of her other sons -- Franklin 24, William R. 22, & Jonathan M. 25. However, Jonathan's and Franklin's ages seem to be way off.

From Oliver Payson Fuller's "History of Warwick," pp. 318 & 319, regarding the Crompton Six Principle Baptist Church: "Soon after the brethren were set off from the mother church [Maple Root] in Coventry as a branch, they united their efforts to secure a permanent place for worship. Mrs. Sarah Remington, widow of James E. Remington, gave them a lot of land consisting of about a quarter of an acre, on certain conditions, among which were, that the church should build a meeting house upon it within six months, keep it in good repair and use it, or allow it to be used only for religious purposes, failing in which, the lot was to revert to the grantor, her heirs, assigns, &c. This deed, which is dated December 26, 1843, further provided that said house shall be open and free for all religious societies, when not occupied by said branch of the Crompton Mills Six Principle Baptist Society. The house was dedicated September 7, 1844. The church continued as a branch of the Maple Root, until April 10, 1845, when it was formally organized as an independent church. On September 6, 1845, it united with the yearly Conference. November 28, 1850, William Rice was ordained deacon."

Sarah (Rice) Remington is mentioned in the will of her mother, Maplet (Remington) Rice (dated 24 Aug 1840, proved 14 Feb 1842).
