Generation: 3

  1. 4.  Joshua Remington was born 1720 (son of John Remington and Mariam Blackington); died 15 Aug 1787; was buried , Johnston, RI.

    Notes:

    I have not as yet confirmed that Joshua is John's son, as indicated on the ancestry chart by Boyd Scott Remington. However, it is a reasonable assumption, particularly since Joshua had a daughter named Mariam, probably named after Mariam Sweet.

    Joshua became a freeman in 1742, was appointed fence viewer for Johnston in 1759, and highway overseer in 1768. He is listed in the 1777 Military Census at Johnston, RI, along with sons Stephen & Joshua, Jr..

    BSR says Joshua's grave is in a cemetery on Central Ave., Johnston, but there is no listing in the RI Cemetery Database. Perhaps there was no stone, or the stone has been taken.

    Several cemeteries in Johnston are now labeled as "missing."

    Is he the one who built the Remington farmhouse on Central Ave.? According to information on the back of the photo, it was built in 1713.

    I have estimated the birth years for some of Joshua's children.

    Joshua married Elizabeth King Abt 1747. Elizabeth (daughter of John King) was born 1730; died 18 Apr 1824, RI. [Group Sheet]


  2. 5.  Elizabeth King was born 1730 (daughter of John King); died 18 Apr 1824, RI.

    Notes:

    She is probably the Elizabeth Remington listed at Johnston, RI, in the 1800 Federal Census (listed next to Mary King).

    Dr. Moses Mowry's Day Book (of Johnston) has the following entry -- I don't know if it refers to this particular Elizabeth:
    "Elizabeth Remington was born the 16th day of January AD 1732."

    Children:
    1. Caleb Remington, Sr. was born 16 Sep 1747, Johnston, RI; died Between Feb and Sep 1836, Johnston, RI; was buried , Historical Cemetery 27, Remington Lot, Central Ave., Johnston, RI.
    2. John Remington was born Abt 1749; died Between 8 Jan 1772 and 20 Jun 1785.
    3. 2. Stephen Remington was born Between 1750 and 1751, RI; died 13 Mar 1813, RI; was buried , Historical Cemetery 27, Remington Lot, Central Ave., Johnston, RI.

Generation: 4

  1. 8.  John Remington was born Abt 1690, Portsmouth, RI (son of Thomas REMINGTON, I and Mary ALLEN); died 18 Jul 1723, Providence, RI.

    Notes:

    The Remington chart by Boyd Scott Remington at RIHSL has the following information for this John Remington:
    born 1695 at Warwick, RI, died 8 Jul 1723 at Johnston, RI; freeman 1718; purchased land on Drybrook 1721, retained in family until 1835; married Mariam Sweet; had son Joshua born 1720, died 15 Aug 1787 at Johnston. Mariam (Sweet) Remington later married Ebenezer Greene (b. 8 Feb 1701) on 1 Aug 1724; she married third Edward Capron on 1730.

    The chart also shows the son Joshua marrying Elizabeth King, b. 1730, d. 18 Apr 1824. Supposedly they had 7 or 8 children, including a son Caleb and a daughter Mariam.

    No documentation is provided. This needs more research. However, I am including BSR's information on John's son Joshua because it is the link to Caleb Remington & Roby Warner, whose information I have researched and confirmed. Note, that Joshua is Caleb's father has not been personally verified by me; or, that Mariam's husband is the John Remington in this family group.

    John married Mariam Blackington Abt 1720. Mariam (daughter of Pentecost Blackington and Ann Pederick) was born Abt Mar 1694/95, Marblehead, MA; died Aft 1756. [Group Sheet]


  2. 9.  Mariam Blackington was born Abt Mar 1694/95, Marblehead, MA (daughter of Pentecost Blackington and Ann Pederick); died Aft 1756.

    Notes:

    She was the widow of John Remington when she married Ebenezer.
