    Horace Remington was in the Civil War, a Sergeant in the RI 9th Infantry, Battalion C.

    Horace & Zanna moved to Providence in 1864. He owned Horace Remington & Son, a smelting and refining company in Providence.

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Thomas Russell Remington was born 30 Apr 1811, RI (son of Russell Remington and Rachael Colvin); died 18 Oct 1853; was buried , Pocasset Cemetery, Cranston, RI.

    Notes:

    This family appears to be listed twice in the 1850 Federal Census, at both Warwick, RI (5 Sep); and Scituate, RI (20 Sep) -- except George, who is already married, is not listed at Scituate.

    Warwick, 1850:
    Thomas Remmington 42
    Almira Remmington 42
    George Remmington 20
    Abby Remmington 18
    Henry Remmington 16
    Horace Remmington 13
    Andrew Remmington 12
    John Remmington 9

    Scituate, 1850 (ancestry has mis-transcribed the surname, but the image shows Remington):
    Thomas Kennington 41
    Almira Kennington 41
    Abby Kennington 18
    Henry Kennington 16
    Albert Kennington 12
    Horace Kennington 9
    Andrew J Kennington 6
    John H Kennington 4

    George is listed separately at Warick, with his wife and child:
    George T Remmington 20
    Betsey P Remmington 26
    Byron D Remmington 1

    It must be the same family, because most of the names are the same, as are the ages -- with slight differences for three of the children.

    Perhaps they were living at Warwick with (or next to) Susan Remington but in that month moved to Scituate.

    Thomas is not listed in the RI Death Index.

    Thomas married Almira Dyer Abt 1830. Almira (daughter of John Dyer and Patience Sprague) was born Abt 1809, RI; died 15 Dec 1887, Auburn, RI; was buried , Pocasset Cemetery, Cranston, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    Russell & Rachel lived in Cranston.

    Cranston Probate Bk. 2, p. 315: whereas Russell Remington late of Cranston, deceased, died Intestate, the court appoints Mrs. Rachel Remington, widow of Deceased, administratrix; dated 9 August 1817.

    At least one person has Abby (Remington) Vose as a daughter of this couple; she was born c 12 Feb 1809. This needs more research to confirm.

    Russell married Rachael Colvin Abt 1810. Rachael (daughter of Benedict Colvin and Hannah Benedict) was born 22 May 1769, Coventry, RI; died 1 Dec 1837; was buried , Colvin Cemetery, Colvintown Rd., Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    Cranston Probate Bk. 2, p. 315: whereas Russell Remington late of Cranston, deceased, died Intestate, the court appoints Mrs. Rachel Remington, widow of Deceased, administratrix; dated 9 August 1817.

Generation: 4

  1. 8.  Jonathan Remington was born 28 Dec 1743, RI (son of Thomas Remington, Sr. and Mary Collins); died Aft 6 Aug 1810, Scituate, RI.

    Notes:

    Scituate Land Evidence Vol. 8 p. 39 records a transaction in which Jonathan Remington received a deed on 11 April 1785 from Christopher and Wait Lippitt. Probably it refers to this Jonathan. Since his great-grandmother was Martha Lippitt, probably Christopher was a relative.

    The following may pertain to this Jonathan:

    In the 1800 Federal Census, he is listed at Scituate as Jonathan Remmington (same page as Joseph Remington), with a household as follows: 1 FWM 45+, 2 FWF <10, 1 FWF 10-15, 1 FWF 26-44, and 1 FWF 45+.

    In 1810 he is listed at Scituate as Johnathan Remington, but the household consists of just an adult male and an adult female.

    On 20 March 1776, Elisha & Desire Clark of North Kingstown purchased land in Exeter from Jonathan Remington of Warwick, yeoman. Was it this Jonathan? If so, he would have been about 33. But see other Jonathan Remingtons on this tree.

    Boyd Scott Remington shows two marriages for him, so I am entering them, although no sources are noted (needs further research).

    Jonathan married Mary Havens 15 Jun 1769, Warwick, RI. Mary (daughter of Nathaniel Havens) was born Abt 1747, RI; died Aft 6 Aug 1810, Scituate, RI. [Group Sheet]


  2. 9.  Mary Havens was born Abt 1747, RI (daughter of Nathaniel Havens); died Aft 6 Aug 1810, Scituate, RI.

    Notes:

    Mary was "of Nathaniel, of North Kingstown."

    I have made an assumption that she is the wife implied in the 1800 and 1810 censuses.

    Notes:

    1769 Remington, Jonathan, of Warwick, and Mary Havens, of Nathaniel, of North Kingstown; m. by Eld. Charles Holden, June 15, 1769. Vol. 2 p. 152, Marriage Warwick
