| 5751 | Obituary: Mary Elizabeth (Remington) Little, 91, of Ravenswood Avenue, Providence passed away peacefully on Friday, January 4, 2019. She was the wife of the late LTC Walter E. Little. Born December 28, 1927 in Providence RI, she was the daughter of the late Eugene and Anna Remington. She leaves her son and daughter-in-law, Joseph and Marion Little of Wakefield; daughter and son-in-law, Catherine and Arthur Bert. M.D. of Fernandina Beach, Florida; son and daughter-in-law, James and Margaret Little of Hebron, CT; son and daughter-in-law, David Little and Darsie Alexander of Katonah, NY. She was Baka and Grammy to her seven living grandchildren, Callery (Fr. Ambrose), Dan, Meg, Sam, Katelyn, Sophie and Nina. One special grandchild, Jeffery Little, predeceased and has been patiently waiting for her. Mary was the quintessential wife of an Infantry Officer. She was smart, resilient, gentle, kind… and tough. She chose to leave the comfortable confines of Rhode Island to follow her love, Walter, around the globe. Married in 1950, they spent the first three years of their life in Salzburg, Austria. For the next two decades, she would live in New Mexico, Georgia, South Carolina, Okinawa, New York City (Governors Island), Maryland, and Stuttgart, Germany. To be married to a Special Forces Officer takes a special woman. One who can raise her family while her husband serves the country on long and often dangerous assignment. She was every bit as strong – and fierce - as her warrior husband. Mary was the solid foundation of the family. She was a superb baker, cook, and seamstress. As she travelled from base to base, she kept her family safe and comfortable. Her Catholic faith was essential to everyday existence. A surprising number of Army Chaplains wore camouflage vestments in war zones custom made for them by Mary Little. Mary and Walter returned to Providence for good in 1970 so they could give their children the stability and family love so necessary to success. Important to that stability was the life-long connections made with numerous Remington aunts and uncles, Gene and Mary, Andy and Anita, Frank and Arlene, Jimmy and Beatrice, and numerous, fun cousins. A mass of Christian Burial in St Augustine Church, Mt Pleasant Avenue, Providence will be held on Monday, January 7th at 10:00am. Relatives and friends are invited to visiting hours Monday morning from 8-9:30am in the J F Skeffington Chapel, 925 Chalkstone Avenue, Providence. Burial will be private. | Remington, Mary Elizabeth (I14414)

| 5755 | Obituary: On August 16, 2019 Clinton Owen Remington, III passed away suddenly at home. He was the son of the late Clinton and Elizabeth (Racine) Remington. He was predeceased by his three sisters, Judith Parsons, Janice Faucett, and Joyce McKenna. He was married to Susan (Hardiman) Remington for 46 years and together they raised four children, Kelly Bristol (Ian Bristol), Kristene Morgan (Daniel Morgan), Clinton O. Remington IV, and John Remington (Elizabeth Lordan). He leaves behind his beloved grandchildren Grace, John, Remi, Sofie, Aidan, Matthew, Fletcher, and Mackenzie and many nieces and nephews. Mr. Remington graduated from Burrillville High School and Williams College. After college he served in the United States Army for three years. He went on to receive a Masters of Business Administration at Bryant College and was President and CEO of Remington Lumber Company, for many years. He then went on to work for Ace Hardware Corporation as a District Manager until his retirement in 2015. Additionally, he served in the Rhode Island State Legislature as a State Representative for 10 years. He served on countless committees and associations throughout his life both before and after retirement. Some to include: Government Affairs Committee of Northern RI Chamber of Commerce, American Cancer Society, Rhode Island Democratic State Committee, Burrillville Democratic Town Committee, Rhode Island Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association, Northeastern Retail Lumber Dealers Association, Advisory Committee of Woonsocket Area Vocations Facility, Burrillville Lions Club. Most recently he served on the Harrisville Fire District Operation Committee and the Industrial Foundation of Burrillville. He was a member of the Lifelong Learning Collaborative where he continued to take classes. As much as he did for his community, his true love in life was his family and friends. To have known him, whether it was as Clint or CO, had a far greater meaning than any curriculum of life could ever convey. He was a gentleman in every sense of the word. He was kind. Although always up for new adventures, he was also a man of great tradition. Holidays, especially Thanksgiving and Christmas, were of particular importance. They represented the epitome of the ideals he held true to his heart - family, friends, love and laughter, adorned with all the fixings, including the famous family oyster stuffing. He was the keeper of stories and the Remington historian. Nothing brought him greater joy than bringing friends or family along on some excursion or some restaurant where he had been before, only to sit in the same booth or on the same bar stool or take the same path to get to his desired destination with the simple goal of recreating a prior moment in his own history that brought him joy so he could share that moment with others. For him, it was never about a particular meal or a specific drink or anything of the like. It was about creating memories and sharing those memories with everyone he held dear. And with each iteration of every story, told and retold, he did bring laughter and joy to all of us. We will remember them all, and, undoubtedly, they will continue to be told and retold in his honor and will continue to bring smiles to us all for generations to come. Will any of us forget the running of the bulls in Pamplona ? or earning a free drink at the Blue Bitch Bar ? Or drinking champagne out of the Stanley Cup ? We can all learn a lot from the way this man lived. He put family First. He made the ethical choice. He loved his wife and children and grandchildren dearly, and, in return, they adored him. So, may we all endeavor to live life like Clint. Love the ones around us who matter most. Run with the bulls. And strive for our chance to drink from the Stanley Cup. Clint, you were taken too soon but lived 74 years young. May you rest in eternal peace with The Angel as your guide. You will be missed. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Wednesday, August 21st at 10am in Our Lady of Good Help Church, 1063 Victory Highway, Mapleville. Committal Prayers will follow in Acotes Hill Cemetery. Visitation Tuesday, August 20th from 4-7pm in the Anderson-Winfield Funeral Home, Route 44 at Greenville Common, Greenville, RI. In lieu of flowers donations in his memory may be made to the Friends of the Jesse M. Smith Library, 100 Tinkham Road, Harrisville, RI 02830 | Remington, Clinton Owen III (I21264)

| 5756 | Obituary: Patricia Ann Mitola passed away in West Warwick, Rhode Island on Wednesday, April 27, 2022. Her birth name was Patricia Ann Moushon, the daughter of Evelyn and Milton Moushon. She grew up and lived in East Peoria, Illinois until she went to college at Illinois State University where she received her B.S degree. Later she received her M.S. degree from the University of Minnesota-Mankato. After receiving her degree, Patricia taught a variety of regular to special needs students, demonstrating skill and an amazing degree of compassion for her students. As she relates stories in her book, The Other Side of the Desk, she credits God with giving her ability and love for all her students. In that book, Patricia states teaching is a career of a lifetime and it was for her. Patricia authored three "how to" books for teachers published in 1968, 1970, and 1972. Patricia trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal Savior in the summer of 1955. In 1956 she married and became Patricia Davis. Over the next many years, they raised three much loved children–Tamera, Mark, and Kim. In the late 1970's. Patricia moved to Rhode Island and continued her teaching career there. In December of 1980, she married Pat Mitola and immediately "adopted" his three adult children–Ruth, Barbara, and John–and their spouses and families. Patricia and Pat made many trips to California in the winter to enjoy the sunshine and especially to enjoy special times with family there. After Pat passed away in 1995, she moved to Pennsylvania where she subsequently met and later married Ken Rowe. They enjoyed many years of music together and church ministry. After he passed away, she moved back to Rhode Island to be near family. From involvement in marching band in high school to playing piano, Patricia enjoyed her music. At home, at church, at her senior retirement center; she would worship God with her alto voice while accompanying herself on the piano. Patricia's faith in Christ deepened over the years leading her to teach ladies and girls Bible groups, meetings, and Sunday School. Her concern for Christians to understand the differences between just being religious and having a true relationship with Jesus Christ led her to write her last book in 2017–Religion or Relationship, Living with the Holy Spirit. Whether you were family, friend, acquaintance, hospital room mate; she talked with you about Jesus. Her life verse was Matthew 6:33–"But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added unto you." Patricia is survived by her three children–Mark (Charlotte) Davis, Tamera (Tim) Danforth, Kimberly Davis, and their beloved families; also her three step-children–Ruth (Dan) Knowlton, Barbara (Lee) Jacobs, and John (Carol) Mitola and their beloved families. Besides her children, her grandchildren and great grandchildren held a special place in her heart. She was always asking about family, praying for them and wanting to make sure they were all saved and seeking God's will! She will be so greatly missed! | Moushon, Patricia Ann (I02687)

With pencil and paper in hand she captured the wondrous sights and culture of an Asian nation. Upon return, she submitted her story along with her artwork, to the "National Observer", which they printed. As well as her worldly trips, Lowell and Virginia flew the eastern seaboard in their Cessna. Mom claims, on one flight, she looked out the side window and there was the Red Baron, flying with them in tandem.

One of her final projects and dearest to her heart, were pen and inks documenting life in the tri-village, entitled "Vanishing America". Back in the '70's, many of the buildings at the Four Corners, Delmar were slated to come down,. She captured the moments in her history where she bloomed as a child into womenhood. She had this work put onto a CD, 2012, which you can find on You Tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uczOZIfEmCs or madmatty 123 Vanishing America.

| 5762 | Olive Luella was probably named after her father's aunt, wife of Aaron Sprague. | Sprague, Olive Luella (I21337)
|
| 5763 | Olive's birth record is not in the Coventry town records. The birth record for sister Florence 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. Olive L. and her older sister who died were probably named after their father's aunt, wife of Aaron Sprague. | Sprague, Olive L. (I21084)

| 5764 | Oliver & Pruda moved to Williamstown, Vermont, in 1801. They had 6 known children (see p. 158 of "The Chaffee Genealogy"). | Chafee, Oliver (I12773)

| 5768 | Oliver M. Remington married Sarah and moved from Tiverton, RI, to Ohio about 1813/14, among the first settlers to live in New Castle, Coshocton County, OH. He was a school teacher, and later moved to Holmes County, c.1820/21. His brother Peter also moved to Ohio. In the 1850 Federal Census, the family is at Richland, Holmes, OH. Oliver is 62, Sarah is 57; sons John, Thomas, & Lyman are in the household. "One of the earliest schools in the township, in all probability the first, was held in the cabin that had been occupied by Isaac Butler, in the western part of the township. The children of the Butlers, Darlings and others attended here. In 1814 or 1815, it was taught by Oliver Remington, from Rhode Island, a well educated, intelligent man. He was a brother-in-law to Squire Humphrey, of New Castle township, and remained here only two or three years, removing to Hotmes county."

| 5769 | Oliver was "of Scituate." Some family trees have Oliver as a son of William Potter who married Martha Tillinghast, but that is incorrect. That William died in 1729 and Oliver is not listed among his children. Notes from Andy Dorr: Oliver Potter was a Captain in Col. Seth Warner's regiment, the Green Mountain Boys of the Vermont militia. He died of smallpox in Quebec. He died without will. His estate was distributed on 21 May 1781 and recorded on page 131 of same source. The settlement of the estate is recorded on page 137 as recorded on 14 Feb 1788. He commanded a company in Col. Seth Warner's Regiment in an expedition sent by the Colonies against Canada. Probate: 1 Mar 1785, Tinmouth, Rutland Co., VT. 2 He died without will. His estate was distributed on 21 May 1781 and recorded on page 131 of same source. the settlement of the estate is recorded on page 137 as recorded on 14 Feb 1788. | Potter, Robert (I24952)

|
| 5772 | On 1 Aug 1832, David Remington, aged 85, a resident of Greenwich, NY, appeared in the county court to testify concerning a military pension. His Revolutionary War Pension file is #S11288. At the time he said he was residing in Greenwich. He testified that he had been a private in Col. Varnum's Company in RI. He enlisted in April 1776 into Capt. Ethan Clark's Company, Col. Varnum's Regiment, and with them marched from Washington County, RI, where he lived, to Harlem Plains, NY, on NY Island. He said he was engaged in the Battle of White Plains, marched to Delaware, and to Bristol, PA, then to Fenton, NJ, to take the Hessians . . . was in the Battle of Fenton, then to Princeton and thence to Morristown, then accross the Delaware River to Bristol, PA, where he was discharged 18 Jan 1777. During the summer of 1777 he was on duty as a volunteer guarding the mainland of RI. In Aug 1778 he was a volunteer in the RI Expedition under Col. Charles Dyer for about four weeks. In July 1779 he enlisted in a regiment called Barton's Corpse, for one year, under Capt. Stephen Babcock, and was discharged in July 1780. He enlisted again about 1 Sep 1780 for six months under Lieut. Johnson and served until about 1 March 1781 and was discharged. Soon after the war he removed from RI to this town. His annual pension allowance was $69.75. David was listed on the US Pension Roll of 1835 for Washington County, NY. | Remington, David Sr. (I04028)

| 5773 | On 13 April 1747 Samuel sold the ferry pier and adjoining land on Warwick Neck to Joseph Nichols of Middletown. The "Warwick Ferry" operated up until the Revolutionary War. The land and pier were later owned by Benjamin Greene of East Greenwich, and then by his son William, who owned much of Warwick Neck. | Gorton, Samuel III (I06125)
|
| 5774 | On 14 Feb 1732/33 Francis West, weaver, sold land in North Kingstown to his brother Peter West. Francis moved to Westerly where he was made a freeman in 1732 and his son John in 1750. He and his wife Mary were early members of the Westerly Sabbatarian Church. The will of Francis West, dated 6 Sept 1780, proved at Westerly, RI, 24 April 1786, names wife Mary; sister-in-law Sarah Babcock; sons John and Samuel; grandsons Henry son of John, William, and Timothy West. He does not name his son Timothy, long dead. However, only Timothy West who died Westerly ca 1767 had sons William and Timothy. | West, Francis (I04992)
|
| 5775 | On 18 June 1741 Thomas Allin of North Kingstown sold land in Portsmouth to Samuel Clark of Boston; witnessed by Ebenezer Allin of Prudence Island. Some of the children's names are missing or partly missing from the North Kingstown records, so I may have switched two or three of them - specifically Ann & Mary. The will of Thomas (of John) was dated 1778 NK, proved 1780; mentions wife Ann and children Christopher, Mary, Martha, Thomas dec'd, Samuel, Margaret, and others (names lost). This family seems to be very confused in published and online genealogies. Daniel Gould Allen, in his Genealogy of the Allen Family (Google Books), has this family group quite mixed up. He has Thomas born in 1708 and having his first child in 1717. Not possible. Thomas may have married a second time; I have included this marriage for this particular Thomas: ALLEN Thomas, of John, and Ann Corey, of John, dec.; m. by Jeremiah Gould, Justice, Sept. 4, 1756; NK. | Allen, Thomas Sr. (I13136)
|
| 5776 | On 20 June 1757, Joseph's father was given a certificate from Portsmouth, RI, to live in Richmond, RI. It is my assumption that around that time the family moved from either Portsmouth or from Tiverton to the South County area -- perhaps Richmond, South Kingstown, or Hopkinton -- so that is where Joseph Jr was born. In the early 1760s the family moved back to Tiverton. A Joseph Remington is in the 1790 Federal Census at Hartland, Windsor Co., VT. There is one free white male over 16 yrs. old, which would be Joseph himself. Also in the household are two free white males under 16, which would be Joseph, Jr. and Simon; and three white females -- presumably Joseph's wife Caty and daughter Asenath; who is the third female? In the same town in 1790 is listed Simon Simmons, possibly Joseph's brother-in-law. Federal Census of 1810, Hartland, Windsor, VT: Joseph Remington, 1 FWM 10 - 15, 1 FWM 45+, 2 FWF <10, 1 FWF 26-44; total 5.

Hartland deed from "Stephen Hall of Petersham in the County of Worcester and Commonwealth of Massachusetts Bay" to "Joseph Remington late of Petersham" dated March 29, 1781. (from Volume 1 of Hartland's Land Records, page 30) From "Hartland in the Rev. War," by Dennis Flower, page l3: "Joseph Remington had gone to the village to get his first pension money and after getting in sight of his house dropped dead in the road." Joseph Remington is listed with Pensioners Under The Act of June 7, 1832; Windsor County, Vermont. (above research notes from Richard Husband, a descendant) Excerpt from Richard Husband's email: "The older Joseph Remington here of Wallingford was a totally different Joseph Remington than the one who married Caty Wright. After Caty died, Joseph married Sarah Kimpton (widow of Isaiah Streeter), and it seems pretty clear he always lived in Hartland from about 1781, when he bought land there, until his death. There are two sets of children and wives going on between the two, anyway, according to town records, that confirm they were different people. Some people confuse the Joseph Remington of Wallingford who married "Loranna" with our Joseph of Hartland, and mix the two Joseph's children up." | Remington, Joseph Jr. (I04032)

| 5777 | On 24 Dec 1695 Jonathan said he was aged about 38 years. On 6 July 1703 Jonathan bought 1/4 of a farm in Cowesett (Warwick). On 16 Jan 1721 he deeded to son Thomas of Swansea 105 acres at Warwick. He had 8 children. His will was administered 15 Sep 1731; the executors were sons Jonathan & Caleb.

| 5779 | On 26 Apr 1738, Zachariah Rhodes deeded land in Pawtuxet to his son-in-law, David Knapp of Warwick, and his wife Patience (source: New England Historic Genealogical Register Vol 114 p 282). David Knap of Gloucestor, cordwainer, bought a mansion house and lot in Warwick bordering other land David owned, 2 MAR 1746/47 Gloucestor, Providence County, RI (source: Warwick Land Records Vol 8 p 85; cited in family tree of Guy/Sam Wallis at Rootsweb's Worldconnect). David Knap bought land in Warwick adjoining Zachariah Rhodes in 1735. He must have been at least 21 years of age at that time (source: Warwick Land Records Vol 5 p 303; cited in family tree of Guy/Sam Wallis at Rootsweb's Worldconnect). David Knap is listed in the 1777 Warwick census as being over 60 years of age (source: Rhode Island Military Census 1777; cited in family tree of Sam Wallis at Rootsweb's Worldconnect). A Nehemiah Knapp died at Pawtuxet at about age 78 in 1815 (b c1737). Could he have been a son of David & Patience? Also, they may have had a daughter named Hester or Esther, who married at Warwick, 6 Sep 1761, to William France (Warwick Vital Records). | Knapp, David (I23650)
|
| 5780 | On 28 Nov 1793, John Kittridge of Chesterfield, MA, was appointed guardian of Silas Remington, aged 17 years, of Suffield, CT. Silas is probably the Silas Remmington in the 1800 census at Rupert, VT, along with his brother Thomas. Both of these brothers had sons named Silas, born in VT. Vermont Gazette, 10 February 1806; Bennington, Vermont: "Silas Remington of Reupert [sic.], is now confined to Bennington jail, on execution of a judgement in favor of Samuel Dinsmer of Rupert. He is to show cause why petitioner should not be allowed to take the oath prescribed by law for the relief of prisoners." Federal Census of 1810 lists Silas Remington at Rupert, along with Thomas. From "STATE OF VERMONT ROSTER OF SOLDIERS IN THE WAR OF 1812-14," prepared and published under the direction of Herbert T. Johnson, 1933, page 351: "Silas Remington, Surgeon's Mate, Rupert, Bennington Co., Vt. Served in Capt. Hopkins' Company, Col. Martindale's Regt. Detached Militia in U.S. service 2 months and 13 days, 1812. Served from June 15, 1814 to June 19, 1815 in Capt. Taylor's Company, 30th Inf. Pension Certificate of widow, Margaret, No. 39717." Is Betsey the same wife as Margaret? See notes for Betsey. | Remington, Dr. Silas Sr. (I08356)
|
| 5781 | On 3 July 1662 Hugh and his wife Elizabeth sold eighteen acres to William Wood. Hugh was made a freeman in 1663, and on 10 August 1667 enlisted in a "troop of horse." He was Deputy in 1678. It is thought that Elizabeth was the widow of William England, but her maiden name is not known. A document of Hugh Parsons, dated 20 July 1670, mentions that he is custodian of the estate left to his grandson, Hugh Bailey, by his father William Bailey. He also states that upon his own death and the death of his wife, his grandson shall be sole heir of all his possessions. In his will dated 11 Jan 1684, proved 14 March 1684, he says that if Hugh should die, then the inheritance should pass on to his grandson's heirs. His wife is to bring up this grandson, and he is to be helpful to her. | PARSONS, Hugh II (I02308)

|
| 5788 | On a bond signed 13 Nov 1695, his signature appears as: Nathaniell chaffe; official records of the Plymouth Colony during that period spell it variously as Nathaniell Chaffey and Nathaniel Chafey. The name Nath: Chafy appears on a list of early members of the First Baptist Church, Swansea, MA. The following information is extracted from William H. Chaffee's "The Chaffee Genealogy," published by Grafton Press in the early 1900s: Nathaniell was probably born in Nantasket (Hull), MA, and moved with his parents to Rehoboth between 1657 and 1660. The area where they lived was set apart as Swansea in 1667/68. He "was evidently a valued citizen, for in 1674/75 he was invited by the town of Rehoboth, in which he had formerly lived, to return and again become an inhabitant, land being offered him as an inducement. He sold land in Swansea and removed to Rehoboth." A blacksmith by trade, Nathaniell and his young family lived in this area during the tension and destruction of King Philip's War (Jun 1675 - Aug 1676). It is recorded that he contributed money to the war effort. Nathaniell served two terms as constable, was also a grand juryman, and was known as a "tytheing man." This may mean that he gave of his funds to God's work, but it may also mean that he was the church treasurer, responsible for collecting and recording other people's tithes. He married Experience Bliss in 1669, and together they had at least eleven children. Their youngest son, Noah, still lived with them in their later years. It is thought that Noah and his wife, Sarah, probably cared for them in their last days. Nathaniell and Experience died within a short time of each other, in September of 1721. It is believed that they were buried in the old burying ground by the Congregational Church, now in Rumford, RI, where in recent years memorial markers have been placed in their honor. | CHAFFEY, Nathaniell (I00588)
|
| 5789 | On online genealogy says that Sarah died young. If so, this marriage must be for another Sarah. However, Boyd Scott Remington's ancestry chart shows this marriage in this family group. | Remington, Sarah (I08275)

| 5790 | On the Federal Census of 1850, the family is living at Richmond, VA. They are listed as Clark. | Chalk, Richard (I24171)
|
| 5791 | On the Federal Census of 1860, Jane appears to be living with Franklin & Caroline V. Stearns at Richmond, VA. Her age is given as 53, but that may be a little young. Caroline is Jane's stepdaughter. | Pryor, Jane Gray Otis (I24159)
|
| 5792 | On the Federal Census of 1880, Mary Pratt is age 60, living at Morgan, Orleans Co., VT. With her is son William 32, and brother David Knapp 65. In the Federal Census of 1850, Mary appears to be single, as Mary Knapp 35 VT, living with her siblings and their mother (probably). However, in 1880 she is Mary Pratt and has a son William born c 1848. Either she was already widowed/divorced by 1850, or else she was married after 1850 and adopted an older child. | Knapp, Mary (I13622)
|
| 5793 | On the marriage record, his parents are given as Thomas and Celia; on the death record of 1907, they are Thomas and Cecelia. However, there is another Thomas Joseph Mulvey who died 12 Aug 1906, parents John & Catherine. From the marriage record of Ellen and Thomas, it appears that the correct Thomas is the son of Thomas and Celia. Ellen was already in a relationship with John Berry when Thomas died in 1907. Perhaps they had separated or divorced? | Mulvey, Thomas Joseph (I10046)
|
| 5794 | On the membership roll of The Baptist Church in Exeter, 15 June 1845: William (d 1865) & Mary Remington. There is a William Remington listed for Exeter in the 1830 census, and is most likely this William. In the 1850 Federal Census, William & Mary Rimmington are living at Bristol, RI, with married daughter Waity Ann Arnold and her family. Another daughter, Betsey, is also in the household. In the 1860 Federal Census, William is 72 and Mary is 69. They are living at Exeter, Washington Co., RI. Also in the household are George H. Remington, 16 (c1844), and Albert A. Arnold, 12. They are next door to Joseph R. & Hannah Arnold and family. Hannah may be their daughter-in-law, who had married their son Stephen, who died in 1843. Assuming this is true, George H. Remington may be the son of Stephen & Hannah. The death entry at Providence says he died in his 76th year, and identifies him as "son of Hezekiah." His gravestone in the Greenwood Cemetery, Coventry, says he "died suddenly." | Remington, William (I05842)
|
| 5795 | On the membership roll of The Baptist Church in Exeter, 4 Mar 1877: George W. Remington, Olive H. Remington, Sarah J. Remington, & Mary F. Remington. (also noted 18 Aug 1877) He may be the George W. Remington living at Johnston, RI, in 1840. There are no children in the household, just one male and one female 20 - 30. In 1850 the family is in Smithfield, as follows: Georgew W. Remington 32, Olive H. 31, George H. 6, Julia A. 3, Mary F. 1, and Mary J. 1 (census-taker's error?). George is a weaver. In the 1870 Federal census, George W. & Olive H. Remington, ages 53 & 52, are living in District 3, North Providence, RI. In their household are three daughters: Julia, 23; Mary F. & Sarah J., both 21. In 1880, George & Olive are in Exeter, but the census image is unreadable. In the 1900 Federal Census, George W. Remington is age 83, widowed, and living at Exeter, RI, with his daughter Julia and her husband Nicholas Reynolds. Notes from "History of the State of Rhode Island with Illustrations," Albert J. Wright, Printer, 79 Mille Street, Philadelphia, 1878, p. 187: "The village [of Centredale, North Providence, RI] has a fine library, having been in successful operation for the past few years. The organization is known as the Union Free Library and Reading-room . . . In April, 1869, the society was organized, and the following officers elected: President, Dr. John O. Budlong; Secretary and Librarian, Frank C. Angell; Treasurer, George W. Remington. In the spring of 1870, the building for the use of the society was completed. The town, in the way of appropriations, has aided the society from time to time. The rooms are carpeted and furnished in a suitable manner. The society receive from the State a certain appropriation for the number of volumes contained in their library. There are eight hundred and seventy-five volumes of the standard works of the day in the library, and it is opened Tuesdays and Saturdays for the benefit of the public." Notes from "The Rhode Island Manual, 1888-89, Manual with Rules & Orders for the use of the General Assembly," E.L. Freeman & Son, 1888, p. 313: "George W. Remington, of Exeter, was born in that town, May 22, 1817. Was Republican Senator 1877-79; was twice a member of the Town Council and President one year; was for fifteen years superintendent of cotton mills, but at the present time is a farmer by occupation. Politics, Republican." George's gravestone at Chestnut Hill Cemetery reads: "Blessed are the dead who died in the Lord." | Remington, George Wait (I05847)

| 5798 | On this family tree I have made an assumption that Forest is a son of Claude Remington. In the Federal Census of 1930, Forest D. Remington, age 8, is living with his grandparents, John W. & Anna Millington. Claud Remington, 43, is living nearby. Could Forest be his son? Very possibly.

| 5799 | One descendant has the birth date of Lenardo James Remington as 2 June 1814 at Hancock, MA (note: email from M. Lynn Breyfogle). After his parents died, Lenardo James was probably raised by his half-brother Jonathan, who emigrated to NY State. I have not found the family in the 1850 census. They are incorrectly indexed by Ancestry in the 1860 & 1870 census transcriptions. In the 1860 Federal Census, James L. & Elisabeth Remington, ages 46 & 37, are living at Macon, Lenawee Co., MI. They have seven children: Sarah 20, Ann 16, Lorane 14, Mariah 8, Ransom R. 6, Clara 4, & Ellen 4. Also in the household is Lyster Wheeler, 15, a farm laborer. In the 1870 Federal Census, James L. & Elizabeth Remington are ages 55 & 47. They are still at Macon, MI. With them are seven children: Mariah 18, Ransom 16, Clara 14, Ella 14, William 9, Alisa 6, and James L. 3. In the 1880 Federal Census, Lenardo J. Remington is age 65, and Elizabeth A. is 57. They are still living at Macon, Lenawee Co., MI, with Lorain, 33, and Ransom R., 26. | Remington, Lenardo James (I09621)
