| 1701 | Frank died over France in World War I. | Pretyman, Frank (I08680)
|
| 1702 | Frank was prosecuted for the murder of his wife, and during his second trial he committed suicide at Auburn, NY, State Prison. | Sheldon, Frank N. (I28258)
|
| 1703 | Frank's birth record is on a 3 x 5 card in a file cabinet in the Bristol Town Hall. Frank & Mary's 50th wedding anniversary celebration was at Cousin Lida's house in Graniteville. (Lida Jenckes was Mary's niece.) In the 1900 Federal Census, Frank & Mary "Chaffee" are living in Bristol, RI. With them are children Frank, 2, and Laura, 1. In 1910, Frank & Mary E. "Chaffe" are living at Coventry, RI. In the household are: John 13, Frank 12, Laura 11, Ruth 9, Hattie 7, & Charles 4 months (?). Who is John? I think he may have been a child who died in infancy. Also, Hattie has already died by 1910. Perhaps the census taker listed all the children, past and present, born to the family. In 1920, Frank P. & Mary E. Chafee are living at 357 Atlantic Ave. in the Longmeadow section of Warwick, RI. In the household are Ruth A., 19, and Charles A., 10. Frank is a foreman at the freighthouse. Daughter Ruth works as a jeweler in a factory. In 1930 the family is at 632 Heights Ave. in the Riverview section of Warwick. Son Charles, 20, is the only one of the children still at home. Frank is a brakeman on the electric railway. According to Frank's obituary, he moved to California only two months before he died (of metastic carcinoma). Formerly he had lived at 184 Potters Ave., Providence, RI, and had been a resident of Providence for 22 years. He was employed at the Davol Rubber Co. for 20 years. I can remember seeing off my Great-grandfather and Great-grandmother Chafee on the train when they left Providence for California. I was just four years old. Frank died at 1506 Imperial Ave., Jacumba, CA. | CHAFEE, Frank Paine (I00107)
|
| 1704 | Frank's name was found on an ancestral file; I have not yet seen documentation of his birth into this family, other than the gravestone with his initials in the family plot. He could be the Frank E. Remington age 46 RI in the 1930 Federal Census at Cranston, RI, with a wife Adele N. age 43 MA, and daughter Doris age 23 RI, married to Albert L. Heller age 24 MA. | Remington, Frank E. (I03079)
|
| 1705 | Franklin and Maria Remington were both baptized on 12 July 1874 at the Baptist Church of East Greenwich, RI. I am making an assumption that they were husband and wife. They also died approximately a year apart. In the 1870 Federal Census, Franklyn Remington is age 51, living at East Greenwich, RI. With him is Mariah, 39, and Sarah P., 13. In the 1880 Federal Census, Franklin & Maria are living in Warwick, RI, with Sarah P. & Lydia A., ages 23 and 1. From the Warwick birth records, it appears that the infant was the illegitimate child of Sarah, their daughter. Lydia's father was William W. Allen, born in East Greenwich. | Remington, Franklin (I02970)
|
| 1706 | Franklin B. Remington's date of birth is recorded at Deerfield, but he was probably born at Savoy. He appears to be the Franklin Remington living with his family at Savoy in 1850 & 1860. | Remington, Franklin Benjamin "Frank" (I16150)
|
| 1707 | Franklin managed the production of the Fay-Sholes typewriter, originally produced as the Remington-Sholes. (see our web site link to the typewriter museum under Remington Links) | Remington, Franklin (I08686)
|
| 1708 | Fred & Willie were twins who died in infancy. | Kent, Fred Alexander (I12870)
|
| 1709 | Fred was a State Representative from Scituate, and ran his family's dairy business for 55 years. The family resided at Fiskeville, RI. | Remington, Frederick Alonzo (I05126)

Leona Williams (information from Lynn Gavette Roberts) | Miller, Frederick (I16753)
|
| 1712 | Frederick and his brother Emory taught at the Eastman School of Music at Rochester, New York from 1922 till 1946. Frederick played trumpet in the orchestra. (see website of Paul Remington: uftree.com) In the Federal Census of 1930, the two brothers and their families are living near each other in Rochester, NY. | Remington, Frederick B. Jr. (I08533)
|
| 1713 | Frederick was a son of Ann Slack, father unknown. | Slack, Frederick (I16872)
|
| 1714 | Freelove (Angell) Ralph is mentioned as a widow in the will of her father-in-law Thomas Ralph, dated 8 July 1777. She is also called Freelove Ralph in the will of her father, Jeremiah Angell, dated 25 March 1783. | Angell, Freelove (I12362)
|
| 1715 | Freelove Thomas is buried in the Old Baptist Church Yard, 100 ft. north of Victory Highway, Exeter, RI. Clarke Lawton is also buried there. | Remington, Freelove (I05858)
|
| 1716 | Freelove was d/o William. | Greene, Freelove (I26032)
|
| 1717 | Freelove's surname, Barton, came from the family tree of Diane Dinse at Rootsweb's Worldconnect (needs confirmation). | Barton, Freelove (I15355)

| 1724 | From "Early Settlers and Development of the Town of Manlius," Dwight H. Bruce (ed.), Onondaga's Centennial. Boston History Co., 1896, Vol. I, pp. 769-801; 805-806 (transcribed at NYGenweb, Onondaga Co.: "At an adjourned meeting of the trustees held May 7, 1842, J. V. H. Clark was chosen clerk; Abner Duell, John Merritt, fire wardens; Joseph Smith, treasurer; William Warner, collector; Lyman Benson, pound master, and it was voted "that his yard be a pound for the village."

Associated with the fire company was Eagle Hose Company." In the 1870 and 1880 Federal Censuses, Hiram & Margaret Remington and family are living at Watertown, Jefferson Co., NY. Their six living children are with them in both censuses. In 1880, Margaret's mother, P. H. Tanner, age 81, is also in the household. In the 1900 census, Hiram is 84 and Margaret is 76. They are still at Watertown, NY. With them are daughters Sophia, 49; Mary M., 45; and Clara, 35. | Remington, Hiram (I08795)

| 1725 | From "Johnston Historical Society Historical Notes" Vol. XII, No. 3, Nov. 2006, by Steve Merolla: "The Borden family first began purchasing land on Neutaconcanut Hill in 1659, when Richard Borden of Portsmouth, RI, purchased sixty acres. His son Thomas added to the acreage on the hill, which amounted to about 400 acres at the time of his death in 1676. His three sons -- Richard, Mercy, and Joseph -- each received about 130 acres out of the estate. The Borden estate covered a great semi-circle around the brow of Neutaconcanut Hill, stretching from the area around the back of the 1025 Club [on Plainfield Street] to Neutaconcanut Park, along the west side of Killingly Street until it meets Hartford Avenue, then up Hartford Avenue to Borden Avenue." Read the remainder of this interesting article in the above newsletter, available at the Johnston Mohr Memorial Library or on the Johnston Historical Society website. From Friends' Records: "Richard Borden . . . being one of the first planters of RI, lived about seventy years and then died at his own house. He was buried on the burial ground given by Robert Dennis to the Friends, which is in Portsmouth, and lieth on the left hand of the way that goeth from Portsmouth to Newport." (see text at Google Books: "Historical and Genealogical Record of the Borden Family") His will, dated 31 May 1671 and based upon stated intentions of Richard, mentions wife Joan, who received the house, fruit trees, animals, and yearly supplies of firewood, cider, and grain; son Thomas, who received all his lands in Providence; son Francis, who received all his lands in New Jersey; son John, who received all land around John's new dwelling house; and sons Joseph and Samuel, who received 40 pounds each; daughter Mary Cook, who received 5 pounds; daughter Sarah Holmes, who received 40 pounds, and daughter Amy Border, who received 100 lbs; son Matthew, who was the executor and received all the remainder of the estate after payment of debts and legacies.

He was, without doubt, descended from the first John of Newport." | Coggeshall, John (I03501)
|
| 1727 | From "Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts" p. 1647 (Google Books): In 1717 Joseph was assessor of taxes in Freetown, and in 1721 on the Grand Jury. The first schoolhouse in Fall River was on land given by Joseph Brightman. Slade's Ferry was operated by the Slades and Brightmans. His will is dated 18 Dec 1751 at Freetown; mentions "dearly beloved wife" Susanna; daughters Mary, Elizabeth, and Susanna; son James, and sons Joseph and George as executors. | BRIGHTMAN, Joseph Sr. (I19790)

He was greatly interested in history, biography, and genealogy and nearly all of the known early history of the family has been gathered from his memoranda." | Armington, Asa Watson (I07525)
|
| 1730 | From "The Dana Family in America" p. 526: "He entered Harvard in 1831, but in 1834, having trouble with his eyes, he had to leave college. Compelled to give up all literary work he shipped before the mast as a seaman on the brig 'Pilgrim,' sailing around the Horn to California. After two years he returned on the 'Alert,' arriving in Boston, Sept. 19, 1836. He then re-entered Harvard College, graduating in 1837; LL.B. Harvard, 1839; admitted to the bar in 1840; honorary degrees; D.C.L., Hobart College, 1853; LL.D., Harvard, 1866. He was also very prominent in the protection of fugitive slaves, risking his life and career in their behalf. In 1840 he published "Two Years Before the Mast," an account of his voyage, which became famous. An author's edition was brought out in 1868 with a concluding chapter, "Twenty-Four Years After." He published many books and articles, among them "The Seaman's Friend," 1841, a London edition of which appeared in 1856. "To Cuba and Back" appeared in 1859. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention from Manchester, 1853, and a Representative from Cambridge to the General Court, 1867-68. He was an overseer of Harvard College, 1865-77. He was an Episcopalian, member of St. Paul's Church, Boston, became one of the founders of the Church of the Advent, Boston, 1843; a vestryman of that parish, 1843-81; and a trustee of St. Paul's School, Concord, N.H., 1866-82. He was considered a brilliant lecturer on judicial and political subjects. During his lifetime he made many trips abroad, visiting the Duke of Argyll at Inveraray, Scotland, in 1856, and making a tour of the world in 1859. He was a Fellow of the American Academy and a member of the Massachusetts Historical Society. A biography of him was written by Hon. Charles Francis Adams in two volumes, 1890. | Dana, Richard Henry II (I09784)

| 1731 | From a descendant, Susana Aravena: "We know George was born in USA. He stated, in a church record, that he was native of Providence. George was in Argentina in 1804. I know he was Protestant. The record I obtained was from the Inquisition. He was forced or not, I do not know, to convert to Catholicism. The next year he had his first son, my grandmother's grandfather's brother. As well, we know that when my grandmother was around 10 years old a relative from the line Arnold-Brown visited my family in Argentina." | Arnold, George Benedict (I27124)
|
| 1732 | From a descendant, Thomas Frederick Remington III: "My father's father served in the Navy in WWI and died in the great flu epidemic of 1918-19 without ever meeting his infant son, my father." | Remington, Thomas Frederick I (I11391)
|

| 1734 | From a newspaper clipping, Marriages: In Brandon, Sept 30 by Rev. Daniel C Roberts, J T Remington of Salisbury (formerly of Wallingford) and Kate A Kelsey of Salisbury. (posted on VERMONT-L Archives at Rootsweb) | Family F06360
|
| 1735 | From a post-it note at Rootsweb's Worldconnect: An article which appeared in Vol. 52, pp. 18-20 of The American Genealogist, titled "Mary Andrew, wife of Henry Sweet" by Harriet Woodbury Hodge put to rest the myth that her last name was Griffen. It was believed she was because they named a child Griffen, however the author sites several deeds which clarify the relationship. She was the daughter of John Andrew and his first wife who remains as an Unknown. The kinship is clarified by North Kingstown deed 2:2ll F: On 10 June 1713 when Henry Sweet, wife Mary with William Andrews and wife Ann and Mary (Ridgely) Andrews, widow, conveyed to William Spencer land formerly of John Andrews who died intestate in Newport, "we being his said heirs." See a text of this deed in RI Genealogical Register Vol 11 p 342 on Family Tree Maker CD. | Andrew, Mary (I23858)
|
| 1736 | From a posting on the Whitford message board at Genealogy.com: "Greene was married to Anna Pierce and Hannah (Gray) Lewis.William Clothier Whitford is Greene's grandson, his father was Clothier Whitford b. 25 Jan. 1790 d. 1812 after battle of Plattsburg.William also had a brother named Thomas." There is much additional message on the same forum, including descendants. | Whitford, Greene (I01690)
|
| 1737 | From an email by Chandler Smith Cheek: I have letters written by Daniel and Sheldon to my great grandfather Chandler Holmes Smith in Madison, Florida. One was sad. Sheldon writes the following about his sister Elizabeth: "When I left you in Jasper (FL), little did I think that I should come back home and find one member of my father's little family missing. (Sheldon's father was Nicholas, Chandler's Uncle and Elizabeth would have been Sheldon's 20-year-old sister). Such however is the case. Elizabeth is dead. She went to Hinesville on a visit, was taken sick and died very suddenly. Poor creature it has been her lot to suffer in this world - but no doubt tonight she is better off than she was in this world. Elizabeth was a dear girl and had a great many friends. All who knew her, loved her, 'The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.' Although we have lost a dear, kind sister, our loss is her eternal gain. Pa seemed very much affected indeed. I feel sorry for the poor old man. I think he looks thinner and worse than I ever saw him." | Smith, Elizabeth (I10617)
|
| 1738 | From Arnold's VRs: "REMINGTON Benedict, of Smithfield, son of John and Mary, of Jamestown, and Ruth Southwick, Jr., of Daniel and Ruth, of Mendon, 5d 10m 1780." | Family F02112
|
| 1739 | From burials at St. Michael's, Bristol, RI: Mrs. Harriet N. Chafee, 29 July 1856. Her death record at Bristol names her as Harriet N. Austin, and identifies her father as Samuel Austin. Neither her married name nor her mother are mentioned. This is probably a clerk's oversight or due to the confusion of the informant. Harriet Newell Austin was named after a young American missionary who died in her first year of service, at age 19. She died of consumption at Isle of France, after giving birth prematurely, in 1812. Many girls were named after her. | AUSTIN, Harriet Newell (I00166)
|
| 1740 | From Cranston Land Evidence 7-19, dated 25 Sept 1802: Charles Remington of Cranston, mariner, sold property to James Rhodes, merchant, for $750. The transaction included "one lot of land in Cranston in part called Pawtuxet." It was "bounded westerly on Main St., northerly by land of Remington Sheldon, and southerly on said Sheldon." This was sold "together with dwelling house -- barn & buildings -- was purchased by me of Rhodes Greene in April 1786" (should be 1796 -- note by Mary E. Rice) . . . "I, the said Polly Remington, wife of said Charles Remington, releases dower." (sic) This was signed by Charles Remington & Mary Remington, and witnessed by John A. Aborn & Patience Smith. On a tombstone erected in memory of Capt. Charles Remington and his two sons is the following inscription: "Tho locked in deathly embrace on foreign shores, and pitying strangers closed their eyes. To mourn their sad and early loss is ours. While fair in Memories page, thy virtues rise. The dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live. To Captain Charles Remington and his two sons Stephen and Charles. John 5-25." According to descendant Virginia Adair, now deceased, late of Altanta, GA, Charles was named after his grandfather Charles Rhodes. A letter from her states that family tradition "always listed" Charles as a son of Peleg. Also, she refers to some notes of Charles W. Farnham, RI genealogist of past decades, who listed Charles among the children of Peleg & Waite -- but no source noted. There is also reference to a twin named Deborah -- but I have no other information on her. Mrs. Adair also said she had two property deeds recording land transaction between Charles and his brother Peleg, although their relationship is not stated in the documents. Charles is mentioned as a son of Peleg in an article on Henry Adolphus Remington, Jr., published in "Club and Professional Life in Rhode Island" dated 1895. A copy of this was given to me by Mrs. Dorothy White of the Roger Williams Family Association. The copy has a notation on the front: R. I. Coll. H32?24, R5, C42, v. 21, no. 21 (difficult to read these numbers and letters). The book "History of Washington and Kent Counties," p. 1296, says Charles Remington came from England, and that he died in 1812. I believe it is incorrect in this information. While interesting and informative reading, the book does have numerous errors. From a letter to my grandmother from Lalla Remington West, Charles's great-granddaughter: "Captain charles Remington was a sea captain and had his own sailing vessel, and made trips to Africa and China -- went around South America to get to China. He died on one of his trips to Africa and is buried in Sierra Leone, Africa . . . His father Peleg R also died at sea as he was a sea captain, too." | Remington, Captain Charles (I11192)
|
| 1741 | From Dad Remington: "You perhaps remember our mention of our Cousin Ida Abbey of Mankato, Minnesota. She was first cousin of my grandmother Chafee, because her mother was a sister of Grandma's father . . . Ida's mother, who had been widowed, operated a boarding house, and eventually married one of the boarders." In the 1860 census, the family is in Attleboro as follows: Ann Farrar 35 England, Edward A. 5 RI, Charles E. 3 MA, and Herbert A. 1 MA. See notes for William, the 1865 MA State Census. I can't find any of the family members in 1870. Anna Abbey is in the 1880 Federal Census, age 56, living at Belgrade, Nicollet Co., MN. Her three children are with her: Edwin 25 RI, Charley 23 MA, and Ida 14 MA. In 1885 Ann is age 62, still living in Belgrade, Nicollet, MN (Mankato Post Office); with her are Edwin A. Farrar 30 RI, Charles E. Farrar 28 MA, and Ida M. Abbey 19 MA. in 1900, Ann Abbey is age 75, still living in North Mankato Village, Belgrade Township, MN, with her children Edwin A. Farrar 46 and Ida M. Abby 34. I looks as if Ann and her second husband William parted ways; she went to MN while he stayed in New England. There are other men named William Abbey/Abby in he records, and I may have some of the info incorrect, but I don't think so. I have a likely fourth marriage for William, to Matilda Wardle, as there's a daughter Emma Frances (Abby) Newell in the death records, also mentioned as half-sister to Elizabeth (Abby) Hall as informant in her death record. I am not sure if these were all official marriages. | Andrews, Ann (I00082)

|
| 1743 | From descendant Diana Koch: "Thomas A. Paine's father is Arnold Paine, Jr. who married Anne Aldrich, his grandfather is Arnold Paine who married Judith Staples and his great-grandfather was Benjamin Paine who married Ann Arnold who was one of his 4 wives! Benjamin Paine had about 23 children in all!" | Paine, Benjamin (I22916)

| 1745 | From Dr. Remington's web site (LowStressLife.com): "Dr. Remington is a board certified psychiatrist trained at the Upstate Medical Center at Syracuse NY. Following this training, he became a faculty member and teacher at the Upstate Medical College. He is currently employed part-time as a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry in a Rochester, NY VA Clinic where he teaches medical students and cares for patients. However, the majority of his time is spent in private practice where he has a special interest in Transpersonal and Interpersonal Psychiatry and Psychotherapy. He has a positive and inclusive attitude towards religious, spiritual and meditative practices, and incorporates them into treatment whenever possible and appropriate for the patient. Dr. Remington is also trained and experienced in the use of traditional psychiatric medications and will use them where indicated and accepted by the patient. Non-traditional and herbal treatments may also be considered, when indicated." | Remington, Frederick B. III (I08535)
