Col. Thaddeus Remington, Sr.

Notes:

Note at Rootsweb from descendant Margaret Fish: "I descend from Col. Thaddeus Remington of C'd'g'a, through son Thad Jr., and his daughter Mary. And finally, after 9 years, found a book which verifies he was married in Granby, Conn. (near Suffield) to Betsy Root (some NY books said Nelson) on Jan. 28, 1793. He died 19 Sept. 1838 and Betsy died 24 Dec. 1855."

"Overlooking Centerfield was the home of Colonel Thaddeus Remington, the maternal grandparent, who had given his own name to the hill upon which he had built his log-house in 1798. Colonel Remington was the eldest of three brothers who came from Vermont, where the traditions of the family run back until they are lost to record. By his solicitations two younger brothers, who had come from Vermont to Connecticut, were induced to come west to make a settlement, and one of them selected Henrietta and the other Mumford, in Monroe county." (source: Semi-Centennial History of the City of Rochester by William F. Peck, 1884, pp 718 - 723; posted on NYGenweb, biography of George Raines)

Notes:

Boyd Scott Remington's Remington Ancestry Chart at RIHSL has Daniel's date of birth as 18 Feb 1706.

The Suffield records show a birth to a son of Daniell & Sarah Remington: Abijah, who died at about 14 months on 8 July, no year given.

He may be the Daniel Remington of Suffield who later married Mrs. Susannah Bush, widow, in 1770, as her fourth husband.

Daniel married Sarah Winchell 7 Jan 1730/31, Suffield, Hartford County, CT. Sarah (daughter of Jonathan Winchell and Sarah Hovey) was born 14 Oct 1711; died Aft 1747. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I am assuming that the Stephen in the DAR Patriot Index, married to Sarah Barbow, is this same Stephen. He is the only one I have found thus far for this time and place.

BSRs chart says he was born 3 Jan.

Stephen married Sarah Barlow Abt 26 Apr 1735. Sarah (daughter of James Barlow and Mary Harmon) was born 14 Jan 1716/17, Suffield, Hartford County, CT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Her maiden was Barlow or Barbow.

Notes:

Boyd Scott Remington does not list the last three children in this family; however, they are listed in the genealogy at the Suffield Historical Society. Hannah is listed in "Thomas Remington of Suffield, CT, and Some of His Descendants."

An SAR application says Hannah Remington born 25 March 1723 (no parents given) married Joseph Leavitt. The will of Hannah Leavitt mentions brother Samuel Remington as Executor, but genealogies show Samuel son of John and Hannah died in 1763, before Hannah's will was written in 1769. I wonder if that date of death is incorrect. why would she name her deceased brother as Executor? I haven't been able to find another Samuel who might have had a sister Hannah in this time frame.

Suffield Historical Society: Reference Documents: 2, 8, 12, 155, 161

John married Hannah Hale 19 Dec 1700, Windsor, CT. Hannah (daughter of Timothy Hale and Sarah Barber) was born 14 Sep 1680, Windsor, CT; died 1 Apr 1768. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Hannah is mentioned as Hannah Remington, sister, in the 1750 will of Josiah Hale of Suffield.

One source has a daughter, Hannah, born 25 Mar 1723. If this is accurate, she may have been a wife of Joseph Mills, Jr., who married a Hannah Remington. This needs more research to confirm if this Hannah belongs here and if she was one of Joseph's wives. (see Thomas Remington of Suffield, CT, and Some of His Descendants)
