| 1651 | Exeter Land Evidence: In 1741 Samuel Slocum of Jamestown and Ann his wife deeded two pieces of land to his "infant" brother Peleg of North Kingstown, one piece to brother Moses, and one piece to brother John. Probably "infant" means minor; otherwise, his father must have had a younger second wife. In any case, Peleg would have been born prior to 18 June 1741. In 1753 Samuel Slocum of Jamestown, yeoman, and Hannah his wife sold two tracts of land to "John Raynolds." From the location and content of these two items of land evidence, these two Samuels appear to be the same individual, although possibly the second deed could pertain to his parents, also Samuel & Hannah. I do not know when they died. Samuel's will dated 16 January 1775 (if it is indeed his will) says he is "aged." It mentions no wife, but mentions a deceased brother Benjamin Slocum (according to a transcript of the will in the RI Genealogical Register, Vol. 3 No. 3 p. 250). This is confusing because no genealogies I have consulted list a sibling Benjamin for this Samuel. However, I have added him (see note at Benjamin). The will also mentions Samuel's children as follows: Samuel, Jr., of Jamestown; William, of Newport; Peleg; Abel; Sarah (Anrick?); Penelope; and Rhoda. | Slocum, Samuel (I09098)

| 1661 | FENNER Arthur, Esq., of this town, died in 89th year; his brother Thomas was one of the state magistrates, 1707 to 1719; his grandfather Arthur FENNER was near 50 years one of the state magistrates; Jan. 28, 1788. FENNER Arthur, Esq., in his 89th year. His father, Thomas, Esq., was one of the State Magistrates from 1707-1719, and his grandfather, Arthur, Esq., was for nearly 50 years a Magistrate under the Charters. Mr. Fenner was a Justice of the Peace many years and a merchant, a long time member of the Baptist church. (Chronicle of Feb. 7, 1788) Hon. Arthur & Mary Fenner lived in Providence and attended the First Baptist Church in America. They had at least 12 children, four of whom died young: Freelove (b 25 Aug 1723), Sarah (10 Sep 1725), John (17 Apr 1727), & Arthur (12 Oct 1732). Four of their children born later were given these same names, as was customary back then. | Fenner, Arthur Sr. (I07854)

|
| 1663 | Findagrave gives her date of birth as 12 March 1818, but I am assuming this is the same individual, based on age and location. | Remington, Sarah Ann (I28201)

| 1664 | Findagrave.com has her name as Almira Colvin Remington. | Dyer, Almira (I08915)
|
| 1665 | Findagrave.com says William was born in 1662, which agrees with his age at death as 67. On the gravestone William's surname is spelled Slead. There is conflicting information about who his father was. Some say Edward, and others say William. | SLADE, William (I17023)

| 1666 | First RI Cavalry Roster,Troop A: Remington, Byron D; April 12, 1865; Mustered out Aug. 3, 1865. In 1870, just prior to his marriage, Byron D. Remington is age 20, living in Warwick, RI, with his widowed mother, Betsey P. Remington, age 47, and his sister Ella F. 13. Byron & Mary and family are in the 1880 Federal Census at Providence, RI. In the Federal Census of 1900, the family is living on East Main Street in Bridgeport, Fairfield Co., CT. In 1910, Byron is a widower age 60 and living at Colchester, New London Co., CT. In 1920, Byron D. Remington, 70, is living at Colchester, New London Co., CT. He is still a minister and is now married to Cora, 58. Byron D. Remington served as church clerk of the Natick First Baptist Church, in Warwick (now West Warwick),RI. This congregation was first organized on 23 Nov 1839. | Remington, Byron D. (I10547)

|
| 1669 | Florence's birth record is not in the Coventry town records. The birth record for sister Olive is also omitted. The record for Bertha was not added until 1943. However, I have made an assumption that these three sisters were born in Coventry, as were their older siblings. Florence's death record at Coventry identifies her parents as William & Lenora. In the Federal Census of 1910, Florence is age 13, living with her mother and two sisters in Coventry. It just so happens that they are living next door to Oscar & Anna Andrews, Aunt Velna's parents. | Sprague, Florence G. (I06949)
|
| 1670 | Florence's marriage names her parents as John A. Bedell and Luella Remington. Her death record names her parents as John Bedell (b unknown) and Lewellda Remington (b. Auburn, NY). Her biological father was Charles Bedell; her stepfather was John A. Boyd. Therein lies the confusion in names. | Bedell, Florence Laura (I29438)

| 1671 | FONES Capt. Daniel, at North Kingstown, in 57th year. Phenix of Aug. 9, 1817. His will mentions wife Catherine; brother Samuel; and nephews Daniel Fones s/o brother Samuel, and Daniel Fones Essex s/o Benajah Essex; also (no relationship specified) Fones Austin s/o Russell Austin. (Fones was Daniel's nieces's son, s/o of Catherine [Essex] Austin.) | Fones, Captain Daniel (I00517)

| 1672 | FONES Daniel, and Catherine Austin, of James; m. by Elder Nathan Hill, Jan. 9, 1791. | Family F00238
|
| 1673 | Fones is mentioned as a grandson in the will of his grandfather, Benoni Waterman. Fones Greene, s/o Capt. Thomas & Mary, is buried in Historical Cemetery 66, behind the Shawomet Baptist Church in Warwick, RI (no dates readable on the stone, which is partially buried). | Greene, Fones (I13571)

|
| 1676 | Fones Spencer's will mentions his wife as Dorcas. The will, dated 16 Mar 1845 EG, was proved 31 May 1856 EG. The will mentions two sons and six daughters. There is a marriage record for Fones & Sarah Spencer, but I can't find when Sarah died or when he married Dorcas. Fones Spencer is mentioned as a grandson in the will of Daniel Fones. | Spencer, Fones (I21796)

| 1678 | For a record of this marriage, see "New England Marriages Prior to 1700" by Clarence Almond Torrey, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, MD., 1985, pp. 136-137 Some online sites have this Caleb as being the one born in August 1657. Various sites have that other Caleb as being either the son of Robert or the son of his brother Caleb, who was the governor. Also, Francis Richmond Sears has this Caleb's estimated year of birth as 1650, but 1644 seems more likely when the whole family group is analyzed. We know from his father's will that Caleb was the eldest. Caleb's will of 1688 mentions his wife "Phillip," eldest son Caleb, other sons William, Robert, Job, and daughters Mary & "Phillip," both under 18. Also mentioned are cousin Nicholas Carr, "father" Major John Greene, and brother-in-law Peter Greene. | CARR, Caleb (I01321)

|
| 1684 | For many years Jerome was a farmer and a carpenter. For a while starting in 1856 he was also a wagon maker, and around 1890 he became a merchant. In the 1870 Federal Census, Jerome & Mary are living at Independence, Allegany Co., NY, with their daughters Cora, Fanny, & Lenie. In 1880 they are at Foster, MacKean Co., PA, with children Fannie, Lena, & Chas. | Remington, Jerome P. (I07309)
|
| 1685 | For part of his early childhood Joseph was brought up in a Shaker community at New Lebanon, NY. According to the book "Remingtons of Utah," Joseph & Sarah moved to western NY state from Basin Harbor, VT, sometime between 1810 and 1818. Around 1830 they were living in Hayfield, Crawford Co., PA; in 1840 they were in Venango, PA. By 1842 they had joined the Mormons in Nauvoo, IL, along with their two youngest children. The family was probably in the wagon train that left Nauvoo for Council Bluffs in 1846. Joseph probably died in Council Bluffs, IA, or in Winter Quarters, NE, across the Mississippi River from Iowa. | Remington, Joseph (I08081)
|
| 1686 | For the present, I have made an assumption that this is her birth: ALLEN Patience, of Matthew and Phebe, May 29, 1708. (Vol. 1 P. 179, Portsmouth Births) The name of Patience Allen as grandmother of Lucy Almy came from John Redfern, professional genealogist (contact information available on request). | ALLEN, Patience (I18529)
|
| 1687 | For the time being, I am making an assumption that the Ella E. (Remington) Darling in the RI Cemetery Database is the Ellen Remington in the census records at North Smithfield. | Remington, Ella E. (I14401)
|
| 1688 | Forbes (or Fobes) graduated from Harvard in 1734. His name is sometimes spelled Fobes in the vital records. The will of Forbes Little, of Little Compton, gentleman, is dated 29 Jan 1793, proved 13 May 1801 at Little Compton. Tthe will mentions his grandfather William Forbes; two sons, Forbes and Joseph dec'd; and four daughters: Lucy (w/o Capt George Simmons), Sarah (w/o Gideon Almy, Ruth (widow of Jonathan Head dec'd), and Betsey (w/o William Hunt); also several grandchildren are mentioned. | LITTLE, Forbes (I21199)
