Mary married William Bullock Blanding 13 Nov 1851. William (son of William Blanding and Mary R. Bullock) was born 2 Aug 1826. [Group Sheet]

1. William O. Blanding

Oliver married Electa Ann Bosworth Abt 21 Oct 1827, Rehoboth, MA. Electa was born 1809; died 5 Jun 1880; was buried , Swan Point Cemetery, Providence, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The Whipple Family web site has the date of marriage as 4 Nov 1827 at Seekonk, MA. The earlier date may have been the day the intent was filed or the banns were published

Notes:

John and his brother were first cousins to our ancestor Maplet. John was Town Clerk of Coventry for over seven years. Probably he was also the John Remington who was a Justice in Coventry in 1809.

Death notice in the Providence Journal: "John Remington of Coventry, RI, in 39th year, formerly a member of the General Assembly, leaves wife and eight children." (11 June 1814)

His gravestone says he was born c.1781.

John married Mary Holden 25 May 1797, Coventry, RI. Mary (daughter of Thomas Holden and Freelove Barton) was born 22 Jan 1777; died 20 Apr 1817. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Genealogist Martha A. Benns has linked John to his father Thomas, of Warwick, and this marriage in Coventry to the same family group. I am making the assumption that she is right. This makes sense because Thomas received land in Coventry from his father Thomas, in his will.

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher, and to other sources as noted herein.)

According to Fuller's book "History of Warwick," Thomas was one of triplets, the other two of whom died. Another source says that it was his father Thomas who was one of triplets. In addition, a transcript of a Remington family Bible says it was his father.

He was a Revolutionary War soldier. According to the manuscript "Revolutionary War -- Burial Place & Service of RI Patriots," located at the Knight Library in Providence, Thomas served as a fifer in Capt. Hawkins' Co., Col. Varnum's Regiment. It also says he died 6 August 1817 at age 70, and was buried in the family lot at the Remington Farm, west side of East Rd., Coventry.

Death notice in the Providence Journal of 11 August 1817: "Judge Thomas Remington, at Coventry, RI, in 70th year." Martha A. Benns gives his date of death as 11 Aug 1817, but this is the date his death notice was in the newspaper.

Some genealogies have this Thomas marrying Mary Wood, also. Thomas Remington, Jr., and Mary Wood were married 7 June 1778 at Warwick, RI. However, if the Revolutionary War Pension files are accurate, these are two different Thomases, since the dates of death are quite different. The other one, who married Mary Wood, died 19 January 1831.

Thomas married Mary Rice 20 Dec 1772, Warwick, RI. Mary (daughter of Holden Rice and Elizabeth Warner) was born Abt 1752; died Aft 18 Mar 1779. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I found her date of birth in a transcription at the RI Historical Library: Family Bible Records, Vol. 4, p. 41. I am making the assumption that it pertains to this Mary who married Thomas.

Notes:

The Warwick marriage record says they were married by Thomas Rice, Jr., Justice.

Notes:

Major General Thomas Holden was in the Revolutionary War.

Thomas — Freelove Barton. Freelove died Bef Jun 1793. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Freelove's surname, Barton, came from the family tree of Diane Dinse at Rootsweb's Worldconnect (needs confirmation).
