    Jeremiah is not mentioned in his father's will.

    From Rehoboth, MA, Vital Records at newenglandancestors.org:
    1845 REMINGTON Jeremiah, of Joseph and Alcey, buried Fall River, 58y 0m 8d, Sept. 22, 1845 8 2 Death

    An individual named B. Chase has contacted me with additional data differing from mine concerning Jeremiah's parentage, so this may resolve some of the questions which remain (still needs more research).

    Jeremiah married Dorcas Knight Abt 1811. Dorcas (daughter of Barzillai Knight and Eleanor Carpenter) was born 16 May 1791; died 29 Mar 1877; was buried , Oak Grove Cemetery, Fall River, MA. [Group Sheet]

Generation: 4

  1. 8.  Joseph Remington, III was born Abt 1750 (son of Joseph Remington, II and Elizabeth Collins); died Bef 20 Feb 1813.

    Notes:

    He is referred to as Joseph Remington, Jr., in some of the Scituate town records.

    I have estimated the birth years of several of Joseph's children. His will mentions his wife, Ann, and the following children: Daniel, Robert (under 21), Mary, Ruth, Sophia, Susanna, & Betsey (last three under 18). Executors were sons James & Jeremiah.

    Many genealogies show Joseph Lippitt Remington as husband of Alice and father of these children. However, information provided by Barbara Chase has shown this to be erroneous. A deed found in Scituate Land Evidence Bk 11 p 473, dated 20 Feb 1813, mentions Elizabeth Remington, widow of Joseph Sr.; Alice Remington widow of Joseph Jr.; and James Remington of Scituate and his wife Isabel. This transaction involved the sale of land to Ebenezer, Stephen, & Abraham Burlingame.

    He is very possibly the Joseph Remington mentioned in the following list:

    An Historical Sketch of The Town of Scituate, R.I.; Part 4: "Scituate was not invaded, but she was called upon, and responded nobly to the call, to march her troops to the port. The British, on Sunday, Dec. 8, 1776, landed and took possession of Rhode Island, and remained there until Oct. 25, 1779, during which time the inhabitants were greatly oppressed. In a list of Capt. Knight's company, April 2, 1775, the day after the Lexington battle, are found the following names: Joseph Knight, captain; Samuel Wilbor, Benjamin Wood, Isaac Horton, John Hill, Nathan Walker, James Parker, John Bennet, jr., Jeremiah Almy, Joseph Remington, Nathan Ralfe, John I. Kilton, Jonathan Knight, jr., Joseph Briggs, David Knight, Joseph Collins, William Taylor John Manchester, Edward Bennett, Thomas Parker, John Edwards, jr., Simeon Wilbor, Isaiah Austin, Samuel Eldridge, Christopher Knight, Samuel Hopkins, Benajah Bosworth, Obadiah Rolfe, Ezekiel Wood, Caleb Fisk, doctor, Jolin Phillips, Constant Graves, Stukely Thornton, James Andrews, jr., Christopher Collins, Joseph Bennet, Thomas Knight, Peleg Colvin, Eleazor Westcott, Caleb Steere, Collins Roberts, Daniel Fisk, William Knight, Nathan Franklin, Uriah Franklin, jr., Ephriam Edwards, Stephen Edwards, Francis Fuller, jr., Benjamin Whitmore, William Stafford, Daniel Angell, Furmer Tanner -- fifty-two in all."

    Joseph married Alcey or Ann Unknown Abt 1777. Alcey was born Abt 1755; died Aft 15 Mar 1815. [Group Sheet]


  2. 9.  Alcey or Ann Unknown was born Abt 1755; died Aft 15 Mar 1815.

    Notes:

    Joseph's will mentions his wife, Ann (transcription only -- I have not seen the original).

    Grandson Robert Knight Remington did name one of his daughters Alice.

    Notes:

    I have estimated their year of marriage, as no marriage record has yet been found.
