    Mary married Thomas Henry Remington 24 Apr 1851, RI. Thomas (son of Dexter S. Remington and Ruth Greene) was born Between 1823 and 1825, RI; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    In his grandfather's will, no Amos is mentioned in the list of grandchildren, but Tillinghast is mentioned as a son of Amy. So, I am assuming that Amos's middle initial, T, signified Tillinghast.
