William Tew

Elisha — Catherine Remington. Catherine (daughter of John Remington and Mary Unknown) was born 18 May 1754, Jamestown, Newport Co., RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The birth record at Jamestown identifies her as daughter of John & Mary Remington.

I am not positive that this is the Catharine/Catherine Remington who married Elisha Tew, but based on approximate age and location it seems a reasonable assumption.

See "The History of the Descendants of Elder John Strong," Volume 2, by Benjamin Woodbridge Dwight, p. 1397 (Google Books).

William married Jane Carr Abt 1740. Jane (daughter of Thomas Carr and Hannah Weeden) was born Between 1718 and 1721. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Jane is mentioned in the will of her father, Thomas Carr. He also mentions four of her chidlren: Sarah, Hannah, Ruth, & Elisha. Possibly these were the youngest (living) ones when he wrote his will, 9 June 1769.

I am making an assumption that this John Remington belongs in this family group, solely based on the names and dates of his children. (But note: this needs further research. At the present time I can not see any other family in which he would fit.)

Some of John's descendants -- as far as can be determined -- are buried in the Blackstone Cemetery, Blackstone, MA. A stone there refers to John Remington 1680 - 1745. But if this John who married Mary is the son of John b1680, why do the names of his children reflect the ancestry of Gershom & Clemence?

BSR says he moved from Jamestown in 1756.

This note may pertain to this John Remington: Newport Mercury 30 Oct 1915, historical note from 31 Jul 1769 - "John Remington carries on shoe making for Elizabeth Mumford, wido, in New Lane."

BSR has his date of death as 06 December 1809.

John married Mary Unknown Abt 1748, Jamestown, RI. Mary was born Abt 9 Apr 1725; died 30 Mar 1808, Newport, RI. [Group Sheet]

I think it likely that she was the daughter of Tiddeman Hull b. 1690. He had a daughter Mary born 28 July 1720. (This needs more research to confirm.) A Battey manuscript suggests that Mary may have been a daughter of William & Jane Battey.

Notes:

I have estimated the birth years of some of the children in this family.

Thomas mentions them all in his will, dated 9 June 1769. He also mentions several of his grandchildren.

Thomas married Hannah Weeden 23 Feb 1719/20, Jamestown, RI. Hannah (daughter of John Weeden and Jane Underwood) was born 14 Apr 1699, Jamestown, RI; died Aft Jun 1769. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The original birth record at Jamestown reads: "Gershum Remmenton sun of Stephen & Pennelipy 3 December 1690."

Land records show Gershom Remington signing transactions with his wife, Clemence, on 31 Dec 1733. Some genealogists have her name as Catherine. Was Catherine a second wife; or, perhaps simply the name was misread (?).

In 1735 Gershom was Ensign of the Militia for Jamestown, and later was promoted to Lieutenant on the resignation of William Battey; again he served in this position in 1736.

Was there another daughter named Aase or Acie? Here is this listing from the RI Cemetery Database:

REMINGTON AASE 1722c - 29 NOV 1744 JM002

Gershom married Clemence Battey 13 Feb 1712/13, Jamestown, RI. Clemence (daughter of Samson Battey and Dinah Havens) was born 4 Jul 1695, Jamestown, RI; died Aft Dec 1733. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.)
According to the Jamestown birth record, Clemence was the 4th daughter of Samson & Dinah Battey. As the wife of Gershom Remington, her name has been given as both Clemence and Catherine. I am making an assumption that Gershom's wife was Clemence Battey, whose birth was recorded in the official Jamestown Proprietors Records, Vol. 1, p. 1. The Jamestown birth record has the name as "Clemence Batty." It seems obvious to me that this is the Clemence who married Gershom Remington, especially since they named a daughter Dinah, and Clemence Battey's mother was named Dinah. I have no further proof of her identity, other than this concurrence of data: names, time, and location.

Notes:

BSR says Gershom married Catherine Clemence on 13 Feb 1713, Jamestown (no source noted). However, in some documents she is referred to as Clemence. Jamestown records identify their children as "of Gershom & Clemens" or Clemence. I have made an assumption that she is Clemence Battey, based on their dates of birth and the given names Clemence & Dinah, found in both the Battey and Remington families.
