Peter P. Remington was Overseer of the Poor in Newport, 1840 and 1842; perhaps other years, too. (source: documents indexed online by Jamestown Historical Society)

In the 1850 Federal Census, P.P. Remington 67 & his wife Rualmi C. 62 are living in Newport, RI, with Sarah Lawton 15.

In 1851-1852, after his wife died, Peter was boarding with his son. (source: "Lydia's Letters, 10 More" compiled by Margie Brown and Virginia Remington Rich)

In the 1860 Federal Census, Peter P. Remington is age 78, and living with his daughter and son-in-law, Sarah H. & Samuel Carr, and their family, at Newport, RI.

Peter married Rualmy Coffin Tilley Abt 1810. Rualmy (daughter of James Tilley and Mary Barker) was born 1789; died 1 Feb 1851. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I do not know whether Rualmy was born of William's first marriage, to Ruhamy Coffin, or if she was a child of the second marriage, to Mary. Often when a spouse died, a subsequent child of the appropriate sex born of the next marriage was named after the deceased spouse. Thus, it is difficult to tell when Rualmy (Coffin) Remington was born, as I can not find dates for her. It would seem that she was born either around Feb. 1787, when her father's first wife died (assuming she may have died in childbirth), or else in 1794 or after, based on the dates of birth for siblings William James and Mary.

Notes:

I am not absolutely sure that this date of death, or this spouse and children, belong to John Remington, son of John & Susanna. However, the family group was from Newport, which is just a short boat ride across the water from Jamestown, home of John & Susanna and their Remington forebears. Also, the names of at least three of the children (Benjamin, Abigail, Peter) reflect the names of the children and Remington forebears of John & Susanna. Lastly, the dates for both John & Sarah from the RI Cemetery database seem to coincide with the date of birth we have for John, and the marriage date of 1772.

Newenglandancestors.org, Jamestown Vital Records, has his date of birth as 6 Jan 1746.

John married Sarah Hopkins 30 Dec 1772, Newport, RI. Sarah was born Abt 1752; died 26 May 1792, Newport, RI; was buried , Common Burial Ground, Newport, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Sarah Remington, wife of John, died at Newport in her 41st year (US Chronicle of 7 Jun 1792, in Arnold's).

Notes:

James N. Arnold's VRs has the marriage date as 31 Dec 1772 (Vol. 7, p. 361.

James married Mary Barker Abt 1788. Mary (daughter of Charles Barker) was born Abt 1766; died 20 May 1806. [Group Sheet]
