Notes:

This family group needs more research. The information from the book "Remington Family" compiled by Martha A. Benns, differs from the genealogy chart by Boyd Scott Remington at RIHSL. Benns has Martha Randall marrying this Matthew Remington, but it seems that she was born too late to be his wife. Rather, these two marriages seem to fit this Matthew's date of birth. "The Children and Grandchildren of Thomas Eastabrooks of Swansea, Mass." by William Jones, does not specify which Matthew Remington was married to Rachel. However, the marriage intention at Attleboro says he was "Matthew Remington of Warwick," so that is a clue that he belongs in this family group.

It is possible that Benns is correct, that this Matthew had a third marriage -- to Martha Randall, because we do not know when his second wife, Rachel, died. Possibly these two Matthews are one and the same individual. I have placed Martha Randall as a wife of this Matthew's nephew, son of Stephen.

Matthew married Rachel Estabrook 24 Jan 1733/34, Swansea, MA. Rachel (daughter of Thomas ESTABROOK, Jr. and Elizabeth THURBER) was born 21 May 1712; died Aft 24 Jul 1749. [Group Sheet]
