  1. 4.  Andrew Clark Burnham was born 25 Sep 1816, Lisbon, New London Co., CT; died 23 Jan 1899, Hartford, CT; was buried , Read & Herskell Cemetery, Ross Hill Rd., Lisbon, CT.

    Notes:

    Andrew was "of Lisbon, CT."

    I had Andrew's middle initial as C; his middle name as Clark came to me on a family tree from Genevieve Walsh Shippy.

    In the Federal Census of 1850, Andrew C. and Cynthia C. Burnham, ages 33 CT and 31 RI, are living at Lisbon, New London Co., CT. They have two sons: Thomas B. 7 CT and Henry H. 5 RI. Three other individuals are in the household: Maria E. Burlingame 21 RI, Samuel Blanchard 51 RI, and Joseph Kazer (?) 30 Germany. They are living with or next to Bishop and Elizabeth H. Burnham, ages 67 CT and 55 CT; they are Andrew's parents. Several family trees at Rootsweb's Worldconnect have them as Andrew's parents, with Elizabeth identified as Elizabeth H. Clark. Also, Bishop & Elizabeth Burnham are buried in the same cemetery as Andrew and Cynthia: Read & Herskell Cemetery, Lisbon, CT. Lastly, as further confirmation, Andrew and Cynthia named a son Thomas Bishop, after both of their fathers.

    Andrew married Cynthia Cruff Remington 2 Jan 1843, Coventry, RI. Cynthia (daughter of Thomas Remington, Jr. and Patience Matteson) was born 25 Aug 1819, RI; died 20 Nov 1887, Griswold, New London Co., CT; was buried , Read & Herskell Cemetery, Ross Hill Rd., Lisbon, CT. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    Apparently Cynthia was given her middle name for her aunt Mary (Remington) Cruff.

  1. 10.  Thomas Remington, Jr. was born Abt 1773 (son of Thomas Remington and Lydia Collins); died 1 Nov 1852; was buried , Remington Family Cemetery, CY148, David Dr., Coventry, RI.

    Notes:

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

    I believe this Thomas Remington, Jr., is the one mentioned as a cousin in the will of Thomas Collins of Foster, dated 24 May 1805. The word cousin can mean relative, or he could mean first cousin, as we use the term today.

    Information on some individuals in this family group came from "Representative Men & Old Families of Rhode Island," Vol. I (Chicago: J. H. Beers & Co., 1908), p. 591. The dates for Thomas came from the RI Cemetery Database, Coventry Historical Cemetery #148.

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Thomas & Patience are in their 70s and living at Coventry, RI, with their daughters Eliza and Susan.

    I am not sure that Sheffield belongs in this family -- see notes for him. However, evidence of location, dates, and names strongly supports this conclusion.

    Thomas married Patience Matteson Abt 1797. Patience (daughter of Silas Matteson and Patience Hall) was born 20 Sep 1779, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI; died 1 Nov 1860, Coventry, Kent Co., RI; was buried , Remington Family Cemetery, David Dr., Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]


  2. 11.  Patience Matteson was born 20 Sep 1779, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI (daughter of Silas Matteson and Patience Hall); died 1 Nov 1860, Coventry, Kent Co., RI; was buried , Remington Family Cemetery, David Dr., Coventry, RI.

    Notes:

    In the 1860 Federal Census, Patience is age 80 living, with her daughter Eliza age 50, and with Robert & Mary Williams and their three children, at Kent County, RI.

    Her grave is in Coventry Historical Cemetery #148.
