Notes:

BSR gives her date of birth as 17 April 1797. RI Cemetery Database says she died of dropsy.

Notes:

The New England Historical & Genealogical Register 22, 354 says "Enoch was son of Thomas, of John of Suffolk."

The will of Micah Brown dated 4 Jan 1747/48 mentions him as "kinsman Enoch Remington." Perhaps they were cousins? (see next note)

On 15 Mar 1742/43, James Brown of Barrington was appointed to be guardian of Enoch Remington, a minor over 14 years of age, son of Thomas Remington of Barrington.

"Enock Remington" was baptized at the Newman Congregational Church, Seekonk (or East Providence) in May 1729. (see Arnold's VRs for East Providence, Church Records, p. 519) He was also a soldier in the Revolutionary War.

Boyd Scott Remington gives his dates as 1735 - 1798 (no sources). Also, he has his parents as John & Susanna of Jamestown, which is almost certainly incorrect.

The will of Enoch Remington of Barrington, RI, gentleman, was dated 21 Nov 1807, and proved 1 July 1811. In mentions his wife Molly, and several children, grandchildren, and other relatives as follows: son Enoch dec'd., leaving widow Ruth; daughters Molly Niall, Lydia Bowen, Bathiah Armington, and Mercy Armington dec'd; son-in-law Asa Armington of Rehoboth, yeoman; grandsons Samuel Walker (?) Remington & Enoch Remington, sons of Enoch dec.'d.; granddaughter Ruth Armington, daughter of Enoch dec'd.; and grandson Joseph Armington, son of Mercy dec'd. The will was witnessed by Josiah Humphrey, Jr., Benjamin Niall, & Elisha Humphrey.

Enoch married Molly Watson Abt 1756. Molly (daughter of Matthew Watson, II and Bethiah Reed) was born 5 Mar 1734/35; died 10 Oct 1820, East Providence or Barrington, RI; was buried , Prince's Hill Burial Ground, County Rd., Barrington, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

She may have been Molly Watson or Walker.

Notes:

The RI Cemetery Database gives his dates of birth and death exactly the same as his wife's. Perhaps he is actually buried in Vermont, where he died (?), rather in the Newman Cemetery in East Providence, where Ruth is buried.

John & Ruth had 10 children: Sylvester, Joseph, Molly, Hannah, Betty, Russell, Ruth, Olive, John, & Pruda. John and his second wife Chloe had a daughter Abigail. Information on all of these is included in "The Armington Family in America," but I have given data on only the three who link to other families on this tree.

John married Ruth Kent 11 Jan 1757, Rehoboth, MA. Ruth (daughter of Hezekiah Kent and Ruth Cooper) was born 3 Mar 1736/37, Rehoboth, MA; died 7 Jan 1787; was buried , Newman Cemetery, Pawtucket Ave., East Providence, RI. [Group Sheet]
