Notes:

In addition to these 7 children, it is believed they had a set of twins (William & Sally) born 16 June 1829 (see Katie Mills, History of the Simon Mills Family, p. 66).

According to family historian Maybelle, William was of Milton, Saratoga Co., NY.

William married Sally Remington 25 Mar 1817, NY. Sally (daughter of Jabez Remington and Penelope Mills) was born 1 Jun 1797, Westfield, Hampshire Co., MA; died 24 Dec 1888, Brooklyn, Kings Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

One family genealogy (by Maybelle) gives Sally's date and location of birth as 1 June 1796 at Sennett, NY. Maybelle says Sally died of dropsy caused by heart disease at age 92 yrs.

"When on a visit to Aunt Sally Beach in New York, who was ninety years old, she related these incidents which our father told us in our young days." (from family memories written by Calista Remington Bowen, daughter of Rufus)

Notes:

Please note that I am not positive that Jabez belongs in this family, but time and location in both marriage and census records strongly suggest it. It doesn't seem that he would have been a son of any of Daniel's brothers, although I suppose he could be a son of Samuel if Jabez was born c1755, or son of Stephen. I have searched for confirming data but none seems to be available. I wonder why he did not name a son Daniel, or Stephen or Samuel for that matter. He did name a son Ebenezer, the name of one of Daniel's sons and possibly his closest brother, However, he also named a son Rufus, the name of one of Samuel's sons. So this is inconclusive.

Compiler Katie Mills thinks that Jabez likely served in the Revolution, although no records have confirmed that.

Peter Comstock of Norfolk, CT, sold 100 acres in Norfolk to Jabez Remington, 2 Sep 1775. (source: "A Comstock Genealogy, Descendants of William Comstock of New London, CT" p. 53)

Jabez Remington, of Norfolk, affidavit: " . . . am of the Anne baptis perswasion and do indeavor at all times to attend that worship beleaving in my concience that it is true worship of God." -- witnessed by Elder Joseph Hastings, 12 June 1776 (Norfolk Vital Records 1728-1850).

"Anabaptists are Christians who believe that baptism is only valid when the candidate confesses his or her faith in Christ and wants to be baptized. This believer's baptism is opposed to baptism of infants, who are not able to make a conscious decision to be baptized." (Wikipedia)

"The Anabaptists could find no justification for elaborate church bureaucracies. Decisions should be made not by a hierarchical leader but by the entire local assembly. In fact, the Anabaptists were the first to try to practice democracy in the congregation . . . Another central teaching was the separation of church and state. The church, they said, is to be composed of free,

Jabez married Penelope Mills 27 Apr 1773, Norfolk, Litchfield Co., CT. Penelope (daughter of Joseph Mills, Jr. and Susanna Case) was born 28 May 1755, West Simsbury, Harttford Co., CT; died Mar 1814, Cayuga Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Penelope's parents moved to Norfolk, CT, in 1759. Her stepmother Hannah Remington was reportedly from Suffield. (source: History of the Simon Mills Family, by Katie Mills, p. 59)

In the 1810 census Penelope appears to be a widow, listed as head of household in Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY. She is listed next to son-in-law Samuel Olds and near son Martin Remington. Also in the same town is David Remington, probably the nephew of Jabez. Penelope's household is as follows: 1 FWM 10-15, 1 FWM 16-25, 1 FWM 26-44, 1 FWF 10-15, 1 FWF 16-25, and 1 FWF 45+.

Penelope died of consumption at age 59. "She was a professor of religion in the Baptist denomination."
