| 1603 | Emerson was in the Civil War. In the Federal Census of 1880, Emerson & Electa, ages 40 & 25, are living at Dayton, Cattaraugus Co., NY. They have four children. Living next door is Silas Remington and his family. | Remington, Emerson (I22728)
|
| 1604 | Emily and her husband moved to Nebraska. | Remington, Emily (I14435)
|
| 1605 | Emily was a teacher in a one-room school in Coventry known as the Spring Lake School. In a notebook at the Louttit Library on Rt. 102 in West Greenwich, there is a picture of her with some of her students. | Beattie, Emily Elizabeth (I21316)
|
| 1606 | Emily was the younger daughter of Gov. Seth Padelford (see notes for him on this family tree). In the 1900 Federal Census, Emily R. Remington is age 62, widowed, and living at Warwick, Kent Co., RI, with her son Seth, age 34. Cause of death: cancer. | Padelford, Emily Rhodes (I04152)
|
| 1607 | Emma "Addie" was married three times; to: Henry W. Leonard, Henry A. Cole, and a Mr. Cook. (see "A Remington Family History" by Lois Remington Smith, p. D-2a.) | Remington, Emma Adelaide "Addie" (I16149)
|
| 1608 | Emma & Arthur had three children: James, Edna Mae, & Evelyn. | Remington, Emily "Emma" (I20827)
|
| 1609 | Emma is age 4 in the 1850 census. However, I think her name and Lucy's may have been listed out of order, because Lucy's birth record says she was born in 1846, but in the census she is age 8. Emma was the informant at the time of her sister Lucy's death in 1920. | Remington, Emma A. (I06499)
|
| 1610 | Emma is not listed with the family in the 1900 census, and it would appear from census data that either she or Clarence died young. I have not been able to find either of them in the various censuses. | Remington, Emma Jane (I19083)
|
| 1611 | Emma was the widow of Harvey Foote when she married Alvah. | Northrop, Emma Amy (I08503)
|
| 1612 | Emma's maiden name was given to me by Donna Londeen. | Korns, Emma J. (I21830)
|
| 1613 | Emma's maiden name was given to me by Ray Moot; he has her given name as Emily. In the 1880 census it is Emma. In the marriage record it is given as Emily. | Lowe, Emily "Emma" F. (I26836)
|
| 1614 | Emmanuel or Immanuel Clark was the administrator of the estate of Margaret's first husband, Ephraim Smith. He appears in the town records numerous times. At one point he brought suit against some of the Smiths for nonpayment of rent on a farm in SK. | Clark, Emmanuel (I20338)
|
| 1615 | Emory Remington was chairman of brass, woodwinds and percussion when he died in 1971 after playing 1st trombone in the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra for twenty-six years. Emory and his brother Frederick taught at the Eastman School of Music at Rochester, New York from 1922 till 1946. Frederick played trumpet in the orchestra. (see Paul Remington's web site for info on this family line: uftree.com) In the Federal Census of 1930, the two brothers and their families are living near each other in Rochester, NY. The following notes are from the website of Eastman School of Music: "Emory Remington (1892-1971), professor of trombone at Eastman, is recognized as one of the most outstanding brass instrument pedagogues in the world. In almost 50 years at Eastman, he taught hundreds of students who went on to hold positions in virtually all of the country | Remington, Emory B. (I08541)
|
| 1616 | Enfield is mentioned as "my daughter Enfield Matteson, dec'd," in the will of her father John Greene, dated 15 Aug 1754. | Greene, Enfield (I09317)
|
| 1617 | England census of 1841 at Ledbury, Herefordshire: George Edwards 60 soldier born England, Abegal 35 born Ireland, Susan 7 Ireland, Eliza 5 Ireland, and James 2 England. England census of 1851 at Ashton Under Lyne, Lancashire: George Edwards 61 (after that illegible), Abigal 47 Ireland, Harriet 19 Ireland, Susan 16 Ireland, Eliza J. 14 Ireland, James 12 born Brood Moor Common, Herefordshire; plus two lodgers, Jane Lynch 36 and John Mcalister 25. George Edwards was an English soldier. Because of his duties, he was away from home a lot. His daughter, Eliza Jane Edwards Andrews (the mother of Mary Elizabeth, the mother of Laura, the mother of Norman . . .), remembered him as a wonderfully kind and good man. It was said by her that he never knowingly killed a man in battle (did he just tell her that to calm her fears?). Once when he was assigned to guard duty over the bodies of some dead soldiers, he was very sleepy and dozed off. When another soldier came along and asked him the password, he didn't answer. He asked again, and still no answer. After the third time, he was supposed to be shot. George said he felt someone slap him with a cold hand, and he awoke just in time to answer with the correct password. He felt it was one of the dead soldiers that had somehow saved his life (an angel?). He was at home on sick leave when he heard bells tolling, signifying the death of an important person. He looked up from his bed and asked his wife whom the bells were tolling for, and she answered, "The Duke of Wellington." George looked over at a picture of Wellington which hung on the wall; he had been his commanding officer in the army (perhaps at Waterloo? or later?). At that, George turned over and died. It was sometime after that, I gather, that his family became very poor. They lived in the area of Herefordshire, as nearly as I can determine. The oldest daughter, Helen, by his first wife Charlotte, had married a wealthy man. At some point she must have either died or moved away, otherwise she would have helped the family. Eliza Jane worked in a factory, where she caught her finger in the gears. Her boss let her go to the doctor, who cut it off, bandaged her hand, and sent her back to work. It was probably the little finger of the left hand, as her daughter Mary Elizabeth remembered in later years. The girls eventually traveled to America (Eliza Jane was probably not more than 17), around 1854 (below decks by steerage), to set up a home for their mother, Abigail, who came later with their younger brother, Jimmy. They settled in the area of Central Falls or Pawtucket. Margaret, the oldest, married and went to Sacramento, California, where it is thought that she and her husband may have died in a flood. Susan married and moved to New York. Elizabeth, or Aunt Lizzie, married William Wardell and went to live in Bristol, RI, where she is now buried along with her husband and mother, Abigail Ray (Wray) Edwards. Harriet married Jacob Roe, and had a son, George, and two daughters, Margaret and Hattie. Uncle Jacob went to the Civil War along with his brother-in-law, William Andrews (Eliza Jane's husband). Sadly, Jacob was killed. Eliza Jane, my great-great grandmother, married William Andrews, who had originally come from the area of Manchester/Lancashire, England. Besides fighting in the Civil War, he became an overseer at a mill in Centerdale, RI. During that time Eliza Jane took a charitable interest in her sister-in-law "Nappy," the deserted and destitute wife of James, her younger brother. He had taken his young son Jimmy and run off, leaving his wife with their daughter Etta. At Eliza Jane's encouragement, William gave Nappy a job and saw that she had a place to live in one of the mill tenements in Centerdale. Years later, Uncle James wrote asking for help, so Eliza Jane and her niece (one of Harriet's daughters) traveled to Philadelphia to meet with him. After a long time they brought him back. They learned he had gone to Florida, married another woman, had four more sons, and now his second wife had died; money and food were scarce for James and the boys. By this time his daughter, Etta, was about 26, and was trying to care for her mother, Nappy, who had gone"crazy" with grief over the loss of her son over all the years. James married for a third time, so this wife was stepmother to his four boys (one of whom was named George, after Grandfather Andrews). The oldest boy, Jimmy (his son by Nappy), came back to Rhode Island and lived for a while with his mother and sister, Etta, but would wander off to Philadelphia, and eventually married a girl there. So there were some hard times and hard feelings in the family at that time. Mary Elizabeth later reflected that the families did better as time went on, and she hoped they would all know each other better in the next world. | EDWARDS, George (I00063)

| 1618 | Enoch and Mary were both of Charlestown and were married by John Hicks, Justice | Family F10410
|
| 1619 | Enoch Lewis of Richmond served in Capt. Greene's Company in the French & Indian War in 1757. | Lewis, Enoch (I27997)

|
| 1621 | Entry in the diary of Capt. Samuel Tillinghast, 17 April 1760: "This Morn'g About brake of Day, Died Pente Sweet: had long been Ill with the Consumption." (marginal note: "Another of Phillip Sweets Sons") Pentecost's will mentions his father Philip Sweet, his wife Mary, five (living) brothers, sister Elizabeth Whitford, and two cousins (nephews) Pentecost & John, who are sons of his brother Philip. | Sweet, Pentecost (I02574)
|
| 1622 | Ephraim was "of Kingstown." He owned property on Boston Neck (see SK land evidence dated 5 May 1718). All of the five children are named in a SK town document dated 11 Mar 1733/34: Freelove Allen, Sarah Smith, Renewed Carpenter, Margaret Smith, & Ephraim Smith. The South Kingstown Town Council clerk requested that his brother Ebenezer of Portsmouth take over the guardianship of Ephraim's children (14 Dec 1724). Whether he declined or not, I am not sure. However, SK Town Council meeting notes show that several years later at least two of the daughters requested that Nathan Pierce be their guardian (11 Dec 1732). This request was postponed until the next meeting, at which time it was approved (6 Feb 1732/3). Three daughters are named in connection with Mr. Pierce/Pearce: Sarah, Deliverance, & Renewed. Freelove's guardian was Emmanuel (Immanuel) Clark, her mother's second husband. Perhaps the other daughters did not like Mr. Clark. There is evidence in the town records that "Sarah Smith, spinster," had a child by Mr. Pierce, who was said to be "of NY" but still referred to as Sarah's guardian in the town council records about the matter (1733). Freelove's name also is mentioned in a SK will or receipt dated 23 Apr 1731, in which she is identified as daughter of Ephraim Smith late of SK. This document also mentions Emanuel Clark as her father-in-law (probably meaning stepfather). He also happens to be the plaintiff in a Newport court case against Mary, John, & Jeremiah Smith, concerning rent of a SK farm. | Smith, Ephraim (I20329)
|
| 1623 | Ephraim was "of South Kingstown." He is mentioned in court records dated 1743. | Smith, Ephraim (I20337)
|
| 1624 | Epitaph on a memorial stone at Historical Cemetery 115, Warwick, RI: "He was a dutifull son A loving husband A tender parent. He lived beloved, and died lamented by all who knew him." | Holden, John (I03864)
|
| 1625 | Erastus was s/o Selah Cook and Lucy Beckwith (The History of the Descendants of Elder John Strong, of Northampton, Mass.; by Benjamin Woodbridge Dwight; Albany, NY: Joel Munsell, 1871; p. 1351). | Cook, Erastus (I24153)
|

|
| 1627 | Erna married and lived in Finland. She had four children. | Nicolaisen, Erna (I06799)
|
| 1628 | Ernest served in the Spanish-American War and World War I. He was single. (notes from Terry R. Alexander) | Remington, Ernest Frank (I08471)
|
| 1629 | Estate receipts of Horace Tillinghast dated 5 Dec 1868 at East Greenwich, mention his wife Sarah, child S. R., son James B., and daughters Aviadna B. Durfee, Alice A. Sayles, Emily L. Remington, Lucy M. Briggs, Mary H. Burlingame, and apparently a deceased daughter of the surname Edwards who had three children, two of whom were Horace T. Edwards and George D. Edwards. | Tillinghast, Horace (I07053)
|
| 1630 | Esther and Johannes have two children and live in Frederikshavn, Jylland, Denmark. | Hansen, Esther (I06796)
|
| 1631 | Esther Niles Hazard was named after her aunt, Esther (Hazard) Niles, daughter of Dr. Robert Hazard and thus her father's sister. | Hazard, Esther Niles (I23869)
|
| 1632 | Esther Soul, widow, was appointed to administer the estate of John Soul, 14 Nov 1707. The settlement was signed by John & Rachel Cobb, Edmond & Rebecca Watson, & Adam Wright (husband of Sarah, dec'd). | Soule, John (I05221)
|
| 1633 | Esther was an employee of Bostich for 42 years. At the time of her retirement she was a senior planning technician. She was also an avid bowler. | Peck, Esther May (I06855)
|
| 1634 | Esther, or Hester, is mentioned by name (Esther) in her father's will. | Wright, Esther (I17275)
|
| 1635 | Ethel E. Coleman died at age 30. | Marshall, Edith Ethel (I28344)
|
| 1636 | Etty and her husband Kelham are living with brother John and Sarah (Slack) Adcock in the 1871 census. Sarah Adcock is sister to my great-grandmother Elizabeth (slack) Coleman. | Adcock, Etty Henrietta (I02129)
|
| 1637 | Eunice and her husband Richard were likely first cousins. I am not certain that Eunice is a child of Joseph & Amanda (Sackett) Remington. However, her maiden name is Remington, and she is buried in the same cemetery as Joseph & Amanda and other family members. Based on her naming of a daughter Lydia Amanda, I feel she does belong as a daughter of Joseph & Amanda, sho also had a daughter named Lydia A. Eunice's mother-in-law is Melinda Sackett, sister of her (assumed) mother. One webpage has Eunice's birthdate as 20 Apr 1831 (Descendants of John Sackett). | Remington, Eunice (I23253)
|
| 1638 | Eunice was d/o Charles L. & Sarah Palmer (source: "Isaac Willey of New London, Conn., and his descendants" by Henry Willey, p. 131). | Palmer, Eunice (I24179)
|
| 1639 | Eunice was the widow of Jeremiah Griffiths. It has been speculated that her maiden name may have been Burr. Pat Boyden's genealogy report has Eunice's dates as follows: 26 July 1758 - 26 July 1831 (this needs more research). | Unknown, Eunice (I07722)
|
| 1640 | Eunice's year of birth does not appear in the records, so I have roughly estimated it. | Northup, Eunice (I13961)
|
| 1641 | Euphena/ Euphenia/Euphemia -- the name is spelled differently in different places. Her parents were born in Scotland. | Robb, Euphenia (I08552)
|
| 1642 | Eva's birth record at Bristol says she is the third child born to Samuel & Laura. | Chafee, Eva Williams (I00244)
|
| 1643 | Everett died of cerebro-spinal meningitis, which he had for two weeks prior to his death. | Sprague, Everett Frank (I21124)
|
| 1644 | Everett may be William's son by a prior marriage. | Sprague, Everett Franklin (I21114)
|
| 1645 | Exactly two hundred years later, on 6 September 1941, their descendant Norman Chester Remington was married to Edna Virginia Berry. | Family F00893
