6651	SPINK WILLIAM PENN 1833c - 24 MAY 1894 EG026	Spink, William Penn (I25853)
6652	Sponsored by Roger Williams Family Association	Source (S012510)
6653	Stacy Waterman is mentioned as a son in the 1820 will of Betsey Gorton. He is also mentioned in the will of Sarah (Latham) Knight 4 Feb 1832. Sarah's will also mentions by name his three daughters: Ann Eliza, Amey G., and Mary. Stacy was an auctioneer in Johnston, RI. He held many civic positions in town between 1814 and 1839. In 1839 he moved to Conklin, NY, where he bought land that year but lost if to foreclosure in 1842. The family is back in Cranston, RI, by the 1850 census. For more information on this family, see "The Waterman Family" by Edgar Francis Waterman, at Google Books.	Waterman, Stacy (I27967)
6654	Starr was the married name of Henry's aunt Abigail (Hazard) Starr. She had a son named Henry Starr who died in infancy.	Hazard, Henry Starr (I23867)

6656	Stephen & Margaret had about 9 children.	Franklin, Stephen (I04541)
6657	Stephen & Margery were married by Wanton Casey, Justice.	Family F05832
6658	Stephen & Robe/Rhobe Arnold were married by Ebenezer Slocum, Justice.	Family F04729
6659	Stephen & Sarah moved to Windham County, CT.	Rogers, Stephen (I24374)
6660	Stephen and his family appear to be in the 1830 Federal Census at Huntington, Chittenden, VT. Besides Stephen, the household includes one male age 15 - 20, one male age 10 - 15, and another male age 5 - 10; also, two females age 10 - 15, as well as his wife, age 30 - 40. Therefore, it appears that Stephen & Rhoda had at least three sons and two daughters. A family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect has his date of birth as 7 Sep 1792. However, if Stephen belongs in this family group and if his brother is Joseph born 15 Nov 1792, at least one of those dates must be incorrect -- unless they were twins born two months apart. This family needs more research. See note for Melissa, possible daughter.	Remington, Stephen (I13226)
6661	Stephen and his four oldest children are mentioned in the will of Susanna Nichols, his aunt (father's sister). In the Federal Census of 1860, this family is living at Brooklyn, NY.	Whitford, Stephen M. (I01865)
6662	Stephen died of smallpox.	Shaw, Stephen (I29349)
6663	Stephen is in the 1850 census at Tiverton living with his family. In the 1860 census he is age 14, and living at Little Compton with Benjamin Pearce the elder and his wife. In the 1870 census, Stephen is age 22, a farm laborer, living at Tiverton with the Gideon Durfee family, next door to Amanezer & Olive Durfee. The Roll of Militia in Tiverton, located at the town hall, lists Stephen Remington for the years 1871, 1872, 1873, and 1874. Also listed for 1872 is Henry H. Remington, who is probably Henry Hale, a distant cousin. There is a marriage record for him at Newport -- NeM 1-131; I haven't checked it yet. He is very likely the Stephen Remington aged 67 living at Fall River in 1910, with a wife named Elizabeth aged 60 and an adult daughter Minerva, aged 38. Living with them is brother-in-law Albion Grinnell, 51. By 1920 Elizabeth is widowed. I believe she is Elizabeth Grinnell, so I have entered her family information as such, with the assumption that she belongs as the wife of this Stephen Remington.	Remington, Stephen (I05881)
6664	Stephen is listed in the 1777 Military Census at Johnston, RI. According to the DAR Patriot Index, Centennial Edition, he was a RI Private.	Remington, Stephen (I08842)
6665	Stephen is mentioned in his father's will. Stephen & Lydia Remington signed a receipt for a legacy "from the estate of my uncle" Francis Stevens of Rehoboth; dated sometime between 20 Jan 1731/32 and 21 Apr 1732. (source: Bristol County, MA, Probate Records 1687 - 1745 p. 234, on Family Archive CD #502) Warwick Land Evidence, dated 22 Nov 1736: Stephen Remington of Providence, mariner, sold to Jonathan Remington of East Greenwich, mariner, one lot in Chippowinoxit, Warwick, Lot #16, one and one-half acres; signed by Stephen Remington, witnessed by Dan Remington. (These three were brothers.) Scituate Land Evidence Vol. 3, p. 278 records a deed dated 28 March 1747, in which Stephen Remington and Lydia R. his wife sell "to Thomas Barnes of Glocester 361 1/2 acres bordering the southerly side of Wilkinson's land, part of the original right of William White and of Benjamin Herington." Also, an earlier Scituate deed dated 31 Dec 1742 identifies Lydia as "Lydia Remington, formerly Rhodes, daughter of Peleg Rhoads." Notes from the Mary E. Rice Collection, concerning Cranston land evidence: on 18 March 1784, Stephen Remington sold one lot of land in Pawtuxet to Rhodes Greene; "Marcy Remington, wife of the above-said Stephen," surrenders her dower right. On 10 Feb 1785, Stephen Remington sold land to Capt Josiah Haines. This document was signed by Stephen & Marcy Remington. (Cranston bk 4, p10) In 1741 a Stephen Remington refused the Captaincy of the Providence County Militia. In 1743 his brother Joseph was involved in a Scituate land transaction, deeding land to his son Thomas. In 1745, a Stephen Remington, Justice of the Peace for Providence, refused reappointment to the office in June. Since there seem to be two Stephen Remingtons born around 1696, one of Thomas of Warwick, and the other of Stephen of Jamestown, it is possible that the data from the two has been confused by some researchers. I know that one married Lydia Rhodes, daughter of Peleg, and according to genealogist Martha A. Benns the other married Mercy Fenner, widow of Thomas. However, I believe Benns was incorrect in this, and that Stephen of Warwick married both of these women. The RI Cemetery Database records Mercy Remington's grave, but not the others, so does not help sort out these individuals. Although Benns has paired the Stephen of Jamestown with Mrs. Fenner, no documentation is noted. It seems more likely that Mercy would have been a second wife for the Stephen of Warwick, especially since Mercy is buried in Warwick. That is the way that Boyd Scott Remington's chart at RIHSL lists them, and I concur with him in this instance; so I have placed Mercy with this Stephen, of Warwick. Additional evidence is the death announcement for this Stephen, "a noted nautical Commander," who died at Pawtuxet in his 90th year. Martha Benns has noted the date of death for Stephen Remington of Jamestown as 24 Dec 1785. However, that was the date of the death announcement for this Stephen, of Warwick, published in the Providence Gazette. His will mentions a wife "Marcy," but no children. It also mentions friend Christopher Sheldon and his five children, including the oldest son named Remington. James N. Arnold's "Family Notes" at the Knight Memorial Library has Stephen's dates as: 1689 - 16 Dec 1785. A typewritten Remington genealogy given to Dot White of the Roger Williams Family Association gives Stephen's year of birth as 1695; it also says he died 16 Dec 1785. While it mentions his second wife as Marcy or Mercy (Unknown), it also lists three children by his second wife: Lydia, Mary, & Rosanna. However, this information is erroneous and most likely due to a misreading of Stephen's will (or abstract of his will). Stephen's will mentions three daughters of said friend Christopher Sheldon: Lydia, Mary, & Rosanna, all surname Sheldon. If Stephen & Mercy had any children, they are not in the Warwick city records and are not mentioned in his will. Interestingly, "The Fenner Family," a comprehensive genealogy by Mrs. Eva Fenner and others, agrees with my conclusions concerning Mercy Sheldon as the wife of both Thomas Fenner and Stephen Remington. [http://www.fennerfamily.com/pdf/four.pdf]	Remington, Captain Stephen (I02914)
6666	Stephen is not mentioned in his father's will, but is listed as a son in some genealogies. I am making an assumption that the Stephen & Damaris Northup, parents of Mary who married Ebenezer Slocum at Jamestown in 1738, are in fact this couple (needs more research to confirm). One genealogy has Stephen's dates as: 1684 Ja. - 18 Mar 1714/15. However, if that is correct, this Stephen could not be Mary's father -- unless she was born earlier than I estimate.	Northup, Stephen Jr. (I13731)
6667	Stephen was a Quaker preacher who settled in Newport and later moved to Richmond, which was named after him.	Richmond, Stephen (I27065)
6668	Stephen was King of England from 1135 to 1154. His rival for the throne was his cousin, Matilda, King Henry I's daughter.	Blois, Stephen (I23910)
6669	Stephen was of Westerly, where he had an iron works and saw mill.	Wilcox, Stephen (I26974)
6670	Stephen Y. Thurston was a Justice of the Peace in Smithfield, RI, c 1855. In the Federal Census of 1850, the family is living at Smithfield, RI. Stephen & Mary have a son, Walter, 1. In the Federal Census of 1860, the family is living at North Providence, RI. In the Federal Census of 1870, the family is still at North Providence. Stephen is a machinist. In the Federal Census of 1880, Stephen Y. Thurston, 55, a machinist, is living on Camp St., Providence. With him is daughter Ida F., who is keeping house.	Thurston, Stephen Y. (I25427)
6671	Stephen's four daughters were mentioned in the 1708 will of his mother, Sarah Arnold.	Arnold, Stephen Jr. (I08901)
6672	Stephen's will mentions his two brothers, both deceased, and his four sisters, one of which is deceased. He also mentions several nieces and nephews.	Franklin, Stephen (I15092)
6673	Stephen's will mentions his wife's name, Mary. Her last name is found in the RI Genealogical Register (By A. G. Beaman), Vol. 3, No. 1, p. 53. It says she was "of Jamestown." According to the Northup-Hazard Family Bible, Mary died at age 88y 7m 7d. (see RI Roots magazine, Vol. 32. No. 4, Dec 2006)	Thomas, Mary (I13524)
6674	Steve Condarcure's Genealogy Data (web site) has the marriage date as 2 May 1824.	Family F03049
6675	STEVENS, Amelia Remington (Lot 41, Sec. 1) d. 1921, bur. Jan. 11, 1921, ae. 86, w/o T. E. Stevens	Remington, Amelia (I11186)

6677	Stine was sent here to live when her father Josias died.	Nicolaisen, Anna Marie (I06694)
6678	Straight David, Jr., of West Greenwich, and Phebe Franklin, of John, of Scituate; m. by Elder Charles Stone, Oct. 13, 1800.	Family F01812
6679	STRAIT, MARY ([AYLESWORTH]) 1744c - 10 MAR 1819 WG043 (from RI Cemetery Database)	Aylesworth, Mary (I20905)
6680	Stuckely Westcott III (1672-1750) who married Priscilla Bennett (?-1754), inherited land from his father Jeremiah Westcott who inherited the land from his father Stuckely Westcott I. The land was deeded to Stuckely Westcott I by Roger Williams in 1638. Stuckely III was a weaver by trade, but also carried on a farm. Stuckely and Priscilla had four children: Josiah, Stuckely, Freelove and Benjamin. Josiah, the eldest son inherited the 35 acre homestead upon his father’s death. His property was purchased by Thomas Bayton and then eventually sold to the State of Rhode Island for the boy’s training school in 1869. (source: website of The Chapel Grille)	Family F10835
6681	Stukely's will mentions his wife Honner, five sons, four daughters, and several grandchildren. According to Wayne G. Tillinghast in his book "The Tillinghasts in America," p. 221, his name was Stutley.	Tillinghast, Stukely (I14730)
6682	Summarized from newspaper article: Mort Curry was known as the Father of Public Links Golf in Rhode Island. During the 30+ years he played golf in Rhode Island, he won 16 club championships. As President of the RI Golf Association, he worked on behalf of public links and junior and caddy golfers. During his administration, the Triggs Club of public links was admitted to membership, and thus to state tournaments and championships. He himself was an active campaigner and championship golfer at Point Judith Country Club as well as Annaquatucket, Warwick, and Massasoit. He was also a longtime member of noteriety at the Pine Valley Club in New Jersey, considered to have one of the world's hardest courses. Sylvia tells of an incident in which Mort brought a Jewish friend from New York City to golf with him at Point Judith. Well, there was a prohibition, either understood or stated, against Jews at the club. That "didn't sit too well with Mort." The rule was quickly changed and Mort's friend got to play golf there.	Curry, Thomas Morton (I01106)
6683	Summary by Lois: Mort was born in New Jersey, but lived in North Kingstown most of his life. He was a principal in the company Clarke, Curry & Brown Inc., a real estate and insurance firm. He was a 30-year member of the Wickford Lions Club, and a member of the RI Audobon Society and the Nature Conservancy. He was also a member of the First Baptist Church of Wickford, where he taught Sunday School. He played golf at Potowomut, Point Judith, and Rolling Green Golf Clubs. He and Pat did square dancing with the Whirlaway Square Dance Club. Although I had gotten to know him less than a year before his death, I have memories of numerous happy times together with him and mutual family members. Mort was truly a warm, hospitable, and gracious gentleman who enjoyed talking about his family, home, and various interests. In the fall of 2001, he and Pat invited Rich and me, along with our parents, to their home for afternoon tea. We had a wonderful time of conversing and reminiscing, first around the yard overlooking the inlet, and then around the dining room table. For his memorial service, which was at 11 AM on 13 March 2002, in the First Baptist Church at Wickford, the sanctuary was full. His sister Louise read a poem entitled "To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me." The congregation sang three hymns: "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee," "Brighten the Corner Where You Are," and "Blest Be the Tie That Binds." Scriptures read were: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, John 14:1-6, and Psalm 121. The Rev. Dr. Clifford Hockensmith gave a brief eulogy. Afterwards family and friends went downstairs to enjoy fellowship and refreshments. It was both a sad and joyful time, a very moving and fitting tribute and farewell to Mort -- until we meet again in Glory.	Curry, Thomas Morton Jr. (I00903)
6684	Supposedly John married his first cousin, Ruth Spencer. However, I don't know their dates of birth, so have not merged their families.	Spencer, John (I10409)
6685	Supposedly Ruth married her first cousin John, but since I don't know their dates of birth, I have not merged their families.	Spencer, Ruth (I10413)
6686	Supposedly Thomas had a large family. He settled in Lewis Co., NY.	Butts, Thomas (I16394)
6687	Susan & James were cousins, as James was a son of Dorcas Remington & Ray Greene Jerrauld.	Remington, Susan W. (I06383)
6688	Susan may be his second wife, because there is a gap in the ages of the children.	Unknown, Susan F. (I11833)
6689	Susan was a daughter of Matthew Shoecraft & Eva Dillenbach.	Shoecraft, Susan M. (I09640)
6690	Susan was married at age 15; Horace was 22.	Remington, Susan Rosamond (I11330)
6691	Susan's birth year, 1821, is recorded at Northbridge, MA, but I am not certain whether she was born there. There is no precise date and no parents are named in the record. Son Charles's birth record gives her birthplace as Norwich, CT.	Miller, Susan (I05888)
6692	Susan's marriage record to John Cobb gives her birth place as New Bedford, although census data says RI. It also identifies her parents as Ellery & Abby Manchester.	Manchester, Susan S. (I18489)
6693	Susanna's maiden name came to me from Mary Lou Raftery (no original source noted).	Sprague, Susanna (I03939)
6694	Susanna's maiden name was found in "Representative Men and Old Families of Southeastern Massachusetts" p. 1647 (Google Books); it says she was dtr of Dr. Turner. This needs more research to confirm. She may have married 2nd to Mr. Tompkins as she is mentioned as Susanna Tompkins, mother of Joseph, in a document.	TURNER, Susanna (I29229)
6695	Susannah (Austin) George was a widow when she married Joseph Kent.	Austin, Susannah (I12805)
6696	Susannah Holmes is a descendant of Roger Williams, founder of Providence, RI.	Holmes, Susannah (I07739)
6697	Susannah Tripp is mentioned as the wife of John Tripp in her father's will dated 23 July 1675.	Anthony, Susannah (I01495)
6698	Susannah was "of Robert, of East Greenwich."	Briggs, Susannah (I08822)
6699	Susannah's name as wife of Thomas is found in Scituate land evidence (see notes for Thomas). Her gravestone is pictured at findagrave.com and gives her name as Susie. I have estimated her birth year based on the birth years of her siblings. There is a photo of her gravestone at findagrave.com but I can't see if it has her age on it. In the book "The Story of Hartford: A History" by Mrs. Isabella Brayton (1929) the following information is given: Thomas Hill married Susan Cook, daughter of the famous navigator. The following Cook family births are recorded in Scituate: a son Joshua to Peter & Elizabeth Cook, 7 June 1744; and a son Charles to Peter & Mercy Cook, 24 Sep 1747. Susannah could be a daughter of one of these couples. According to findagrave.com she is d/o Peter Cooke and Mercy Wanton. I have made an assumption that this information is correct, based on my own additional, although inconclusive, research. The surname is spelled as both Cook and Cooke in the records.	Cook, Susannah Susie (I27225)
6700	Susannah's name as wife of Wager Hull Remington came from Rootsweb's Worldconnect (it says she is d/o Richard Mosher & Phebe Husted); this marriage has not been verified.	Mosher, Susannah (I17457)
