Notes:

PARKER SUSAN B (REMINGTON) 1811 - 1878 PV001

Notes:

Please note that I am not sure that Peleg belongs to these parents. I am including him here based on certain evidence including census, location, and age. See notes for Susan Briggs.

In the 1820 Federal Census, Peleg is listed at Warwick: 2 FWM <10, 1 FWM >45, 1 FWF <10, 3 FWF 10-15, 1 FWF 26-44. This suggests that Peleg and Susan had 4 daughters and 2 sons.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Susan Remington is living at Warwick, listed next to -- or possibly with -- Thomas & Almira Remington. This suggests a family relationship. Thomas was s/o Russell Remington.

I have made a working assumption that Susan Remington is Thomas's aunt by marriage to his uncle Peleg.

There may be another son of Peleg and Susan in this family: William H. Remington who married Sarah F. Hazard at Warwick 25 July 1849. (needs more research to confirm -- yes, this has been confirmed)

Peleg's will was dated Nov 1847, proved 14 Feb 1848 at Warwick. It mentions wife Susan and daughter Phebe Ann Arnold.

DAR records show Susan Briggs as Peleg's second wife. I don't know that this is accurate. The DAR file shows "Nancy" as his first wife. I believe there was an earlier Peleg Remington who had a wife named Nancy/Anstice. The two could have been confused by researchers, but then again there could have been two Pelegs with wives named Nancy. However, another thought is that this Peleg's first wife could have been Lydia Rhodes, Phebe Field, or Amy Fifield. I have four possible wives for Peleg Remington II, but that could certainly be incorrect. See notes for Peleg Remington II b 1764.

DAR records show this Peleg as b c1757/58, but the RI Cemetery Database has c1775.

Peleg married Susan Briggs 5 Feb 1807, Warwick, RI. Susan was born Abt 1778; died 15 Mar 1861; was buried , Greenwood Cemetery, Fairview Ave., Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Susan Remington is age 73, living at Warwick. With her are Solomon 32 and Phebe Ann Madison 40. Phebe may be Susan's daughter; if so, it is a second marriage for her. Her first marriage was to a Mr. Arnold, as she is mentioned as Phebe Ann Arnold in Peleg's will dated Nov 1847 at Warwick.

In the census, they are listed next to -- and are probably living next to -- Thomas and Almira (Dyer) Remington, both age 42, and their 6 children. This suggests that Susan may be closely related to Thomas -- although is not proof, since there were a lot of Remingtons around at that time.

If it is true that there is a close family relationship, I am guessing that Susan could be Thomas's aunt (by marriage), meaning that her husband Peleg was possibly a brother to Thomas's father, Russell Remington. Therefore, I am placing Peleg on this family tree, with the qualifier that more research is needed to confirm the ancestry of Peleg.

I have made a working assumption that Susan Remington is Thomas's aunt by marriage to his uncle Peleg.

Rootsweb's Worldconnect has these parents for Susan (Susannah):
Father: Richard Briggs b: 26 NOV 1737
Mother: Phebe Place b: ABT 1738 in North Kingstown, RI
First source given: The American Genealogist p 38:51
Second source given: Maerston Watson, "Royal Families Americans of Royal and Noble Ancestry" Volume Two
Publication: Baltimore MD: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc.
Third source given: Reverend Francis Marbury and Five Generations of His Descendants Through Anne (Marbury) Hutchinson and Katherine (Marbury) Scott), pages 199-207

This sounds plausible because Richard's grandmother was Susannah Spencer, so he could have named a daughter Susannah after her. Also, Peleg and Susan had a daughter named Phebe, who may have been named after Susan's mother Phebe Place.

I need to check the RI Death Index to see if Susan's parents are named.

Notes:

Scituate Land Evidence Vol. 8 p. 39 records a transaction in which Jonathan Remington received a deed on 11 April 1785 from Christopher and Wait Lippitt. Probably it refers to this Jonathan. Since his great-grandmother was Martha Lippitt, probably Christopher was a relative.

The following may pertain to this Jonathan:

In the 1800 Federal Census, he is listed at Scituate as Jonathan Remmington (same page as Joseph Remington), with a household as follows: 1 FWM 45+, 2 FWF <10, 1 FWF 10-15, 1 FWF 26-44, and 1 FWF 45+.

In 1810 he is listed at Scituate as Johnathan Remington, but the household consists of just an adult male and an adult female.

On 20 March 1776, Elisha & Desire Clark of North Kingstown purchased land in Exeter from Jonathan Remington of Warwick, yeoman. Was it this Jonathan? If so, he would have been about 33. But see other Jonathan Remingtons on this tree.

Boyd Scott Remington shows two marriages for him, so I am entering them, although no sources are noted (needs further research).

Jonathan married Mary Havens 15 Jun 1769, Warwick, RI. Mary (daughter of Nathaniel Havens) was born Abt 1747, RI; died Aft 6 Aug 1810, Scituate, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Mary was "of Nathaniel, of North Kingstown."

I have made an assumption that she is the wife implied in the 1800 and 1810 censuses.
