  3. 6.  Gideon C. Hoxsie was born 19 Dec 1820, Little Compton, RI or New Bedford, MA (son of John Hoxsie and Sarah Coggeshall); died 24 Nov 1888; was buried , Rural Cemetery, Dartmouth Rd., New Bedford, MA.

    Notes:

    According to the marriage record, Gideon was age 36 when married to Sarah; it was his first marriage; he was born in Little Compton; and his parents are John & Sarah. The 1860 census says he was born in RI.

    According to the book "The Coggeshalls in America," Gideon was born in 1822. However, his gravestone says 1820.

    In the 1880 Federal Census, the family is living at New Bedford, except for son Frank, 22, who is living with his maternal grandmother Rosetta Remington and her daughter Rosetta, also in New Bedford.

    Gideon married Sarah Amanda Remington 19 Feb 1857, New Bedford, Bristol Co., MA. Sarah (daughter of Thomas Remington and Rosetta Slocum) was born 22 Sep 1832, NY; died 18 Feb 1889; was buried , Rural Cemetery, Dartmouth Rd., New Bedford, MA. [Group Sheet]


  4. 7.  Sarah Amanda Remington was born 22 Sep 1832, NY (daughter of Thomas Remington and Rosetta Slocum); died 18 Feb 1889; was buried , Rural Cemetery, Dartmouth Rd., New Bedford, MA.

    Notes:

    According to the marriage record, Sarah A. Remington, d/o Thomas & Rosetta, was age 18 when she married Gideon in 1857. This would make her birth year c1838, which does not agree with census data. For example, in 1860 her age is given as 28.

    Notes:

    Thomas Remington, Jr., was baptized and became a member of the Amicable Church in Tiverton, RI, on 10 September 1820. (ref: see "The History of Amicable Congregational Church 1746 - 1946" p. 9s)

    Thomas Remington, b. Tiverton, RI, went on at least one whaling voyage, according to seamen's insurance records at New Bedford Public Library. He may have been the ship's carpenter. On 7 Feb 1849 he was said to be age 42, with dark skin, light hair, and blue eyes, at a height of 5'6".

    The birth years of Thomas & Rosetta's children have been estimated from their ages in the 1850 Federal Census, New Bedford, MA, p. 222. Three of the children -- Sarah, Thomas, & Rosetta -- were born in New York State, so apparently the family moved westward around 1832 but later came back to Massachusetts, around 1838/39.

    Perhaps they were living near brother William in New York State, at Kingston, Ulster County or Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County. These counties are next to each other in the southeastern part of the state.

    In the 1860 census, Rosetta, recently widowed, is living at New Bedford with some of the children. Sadly, Thomas died in April of that year, by drowning. His death record identifies his parents as Thomas & Alice, and his birthplace as Tiverton, RI.

    Thomas & Rosetta are buried in Rural Cemetery, New Bedford; their gravestones have been photographed.

    The following excerpt may well pertain to this particular Thomas, who was indeed a carpenter: "That the construction industry, which has led apprenticeship activities in this country in recent years, used the formalized indenture more than a century ago is shown by the indenture of a 'house carpenter' in 1832. This indenture bound a 16-year-old apprentice in New Bedford, Massachusetts, to his master until 1837 -- exactly 100 years before the enactment of the National Apprenticeship Law (Public Law 308, 75th Congress). The indenture states that John Slocum 'doth by these Presents bind Lyman Slocum, his son, a minor . . . to Thomas Remington . . . to learn the art, trade, or mystery of a House-Carpenter.' The master promised 'to teach and instruct, or cause the said Apprentice to be instructed, in the art, trade or calling of a House-Carpenter . . . (if said Apprentice be capable to learn.).' "
