Mary E. Remington

Notes:

In 1863, William W. & Hannah were "of Pawtucket," as noted when the death of their daughter Mary was recorded at Warwick.

In the 1850 & 1860 Federal Censuses at Warwick, Kent, RI, William is with his second wife Susan and three daughters.

At age 63 in the 1880 Federal Census, William was working in a cotton mill, while Susan was keeping house, still at Warwick, RI.

He is probably the W. W. Remington who served as a deacon in the Phenix Baptist Church, Warwick, RI (now in West Warwick).

William married Hannah Albro 27 Sep 1838. Hannah was born 1816; died 1847; was buried , Greenwood Cemetery, Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

On the membership roll of The Baptist Church in Exeter, 15 June 1845: William (d 1865) & Mary Remington.

There is a William Remington listed for Exeter in the 1830 census, and is most likely this William.

In the 1850 Federal Census, William & Mary Rimmington are living at Bristol, RI, with married daughter Waity Ann Arnold and her family. Another daughter, Betsey, is also in the household.

In the 1860 Federal Census, William is 72 and Mary is 69. They are living at Exeter, Washington Co., RI. Also in the household are George H. Remington, 16 (c1844), and Albert A. Arnold, 12. They are next door to Joseph R. & Hannah Arnold and family. Hannah may be their daughter-in-law, who had married their son Stephen, who died in 1843. Assuming this is true, George H. Remington may be the son of Stephen & Hannah.

The death entry at Providence says he died in his 76th year, and identifies him as "son of Hezekiah."

His gravestone in the Greenwood Cemetery, Coventry, says he "died suddenly."

William married Mary Wightman 13 Apr 1813. Mary (daughter of George Wightman and Waite Sweet) was born 29 Sep 1791; died 28 Apr 1866; was buried , Greenwood Cemetery, Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Hezekiah Remington 16 - 50 A , Res. Po, is listed for Coventry, RI, in the 1777 RI Military Census. Also there is William Remington 16 - 50 A (residence Portsmouth), possibly his father; and a Thomas Remington 16 - 50 A.

Hezekiah Remington is on the list of Freemen of Exter, dated 20 Apr 1814.

James N. Arnold's "Family Notes" has his date of birth as 22 May 1757.

I have made an assumption that he was born on Prudence Island; this, in turn, is based on the assumption that his parents are William & Freelove (and Portsmouth land evidence showing this couple on Prudence Island). Hezekiah had two children, named William & Freelove. This is a strong clue. Hezekiah lived in Exeter and North Kingstown, and it is known that William & Freelove bought a house and land there in 1775.

Hezekiah married Anne Hill 16 Sep 1787. Anne (daughter of Caleb Hill and Mercy Stafford) was born 29 Jan 1761, North Kingstown, RI; died 20 Jan 1822. [Group Sheet]

George married Waite Sweet 16 Jun 1776. Waite (daughter of Sylvester Sweet and Mary Johnson) was born 29 Aug 1758, East Greenwich, RI; died 25 Nov 1821, North Kingstown, RI. [Group Sheet]
