| 6851 | The dates on the Kent monument for Hannah Maria are: 27 July 1851 - 17 February 1852. | Kent, Hannah Maria (I12821)
|
| 6852 | The daughter Mary in the 1870 Federal Census is age 19. Perhaps their first daughter Mary died young and another one was born in 1851 (?). Otherwise, there is an age discrepancy of about two years. | Remington, Mary Helen (I14087)
|
| 6853 | The death entry at Warwick City Hall says he died of consumption. | Remington, Charles Henry (I04164)
|
| 6854 | The death entry says he died at age 9 months, 20 days, of water on the brain. | Remington, George Edward (I00356)
|
| 6855 | The death notice for his sister Sarah has the middle name as "Kingsburg." They may have had the same middle name. In the 1870 Federal Census, Cyrus & "Ellen" are living at Buffalo, Erie Co., NY, with their three children. Cyrus was a member of the Oswego County, NY, Historical Society, founded in 1896: Cyrus Kingsbury Remington, Buffalo, N.Y., membership Nov. 24, 1896, No.22, Historian Pennsylvania Society of War of 1812. Cyrus died at age 69 y 1 m 1 d. Cause of death was a cerebral hemorrhage. | Remington, Cyrus Kingsbury (I08223)
|
| 6856 | The death notice has her name as Sarah Kingsburg Remington. Her middle name may be Kingsbury (needs more research). | Remington, Sarah Kingsbury (I13336)
|
| 6857 | The death of Abby Remington was reported in the Rhode Islander of 16 Sep 1845. (card catalog at Newport Historical Society) | Remington, Abigail "Abby" (I04690)
|
| 6858 | The death of Mary Hopkins, wife of Oliver, at Jamestown was reported in three Providence newspapers in July 1823. | Brown, Mary (I26882)
|
| 6859 | The death record at Fall River says Eliza died at Cranston from infant cholera, age 3 mos 21 days. | Berry, Eliza (I23595)
|
| 6860 | The death record at Foster Town House, Deaths p. 4, identifies Richard as the son of Stephen & Betsey, and gives the year of death as 1861. However, the gravestone says 1862. | Salisbury, Richard (I05451)
|
| 6861 | The death record at New Bedford says she died on the 11th but the date of record is the 9th, so I am assuming that is a clerical error. She probably died on the 8th or 9th. Her age at death was 69 y 5 m. She died of paralysis. Residence was 84 Shawmut. Birthplace: Tiverton; parents identified as John & Roby, born Tiverton/Westport. | Dennis, Ruth (I26365)
|
| 6862 | The death record at Suffield refers to him as Deacon and says he died at age 51. | Remington, Deacon Stephen III (I08109)
|
| 6863 | The death record identifies her as wife of Joseph Jr. and says her parents are unknown. | Corey, Elizabeth A. (I28789)
|
| 6864 | The death record identifies his parents as Philip & Mary. She could have been Mary Chappell, d/o Richard & Sarah (Jacques) Chappell who were md 29 Nov 1761 SK. | Caswell, Philip (I26888)
|
| 6865 | The death record identifies his parents as William and Emily. | Matteson, William T. (I29031)
|
| 6866 | The death record identifies Mary Ann as widow of Adelbert. | Harrison, Mary Ann (I15230)
|
| 6867 | The death record in West Greenwich says he died 18 April 1853, at 80 yrs, 2 mos., and 25 days (the family Bible says 15 days). His occupation is given as "farmer." The Pine Grove Cemetery is western-most one of the two across from the Knotty Oak Baptist Church. | Battey, James (I02410)
|
| 6868 | The death record names his parents as Joseph Rounds and Elizabeth Corey. He died at age 66 y 5 d. | Rounds, Herbert F. (I28790)
|
| 6869 | The death record of one of her children gives Jane's middle initial as G. Jane was Oliver's second wife. | Battey, Jane (I26879)
|
| 6870 | The death record on the Ancestry CD of Rhode Island records says his next of kin (probably parents) were William & Annie Coleman. However, it is possible that these names referred to his son, William, and his second wife, Annie. He may have been born in either Hucknall-Under-Huthwaite or Sutton-in-Ashfield. It is not clear to me where the family was at the taking of the 1851 census -- whether they had already moved to Sutton or not. They were at Sutton-in-Ashfield by 1861. The 1891 census gives his birthplace as Sutton-in-Ashfield. In the 1871 census, Joseph & Elizabeth are living at 26 Union St., Mansfield, with Elizabeth's parents, Gilbert & Ann Slack. Daughter Ann is 6 months old. The UK 1881 census shows this family living at 1 Alfred Ct., Mansfield, Nottingham, England. Joseph is listed as the 33-year-old head of the household. His occupation is given as a "fruiterer." Elizabeth Coleman is listed as his 33-year-old wife. The children are listed as: Ann 10 John 8 Eliza 6 Ellen 4 William 1month (birthplace of all the children is given as Mansfield) Also listed is William Haslam, a 19-year-old servant (a carter). In 1891 they were at 12 Stockwell Gate, Mansfield (Fishmonger's Shop). Ann is not with them; Florence is listed as Clara; also in the household is Elizabeth Slack 18, servant (probably niece). Nearby, at 19 Chandlers Ct., is Elizabeth's widowed sister, Sarah Adcock, age 47. In the 1910 US Census, Joseph, age 63, and his (second or third?) wife, Annie, age 36, are living at 78 Oak St., Providence, RI. They are renting there. The census says he immigrated to America in 1895, but did not become a US citizen. Also, they have been married about 4 years, and both can read and write. | COLEMAN, Joseph (I00043)
|
| 6871 | The death record says he died at about age 2. | Remington, Jesse (1) (I07670)
|
| 6872 | The death record says her parents were Philip & Elizabeth Rose, but I think they may have been Philip & Mary because there was a couple of that name having children in SK during that time period. It could be that the informant at the time of her death did not know the correct names of her parents. | Rose, Elizabeth Betsey (I26889)
|
| 6873 | The death record says Mary died at age 86 y, 8 Nov 1760 Bristol. If this age is correct, she would have been born c1674. Her maiden name as Lindsey/Lindsay/Linzey came from several genealogies at Rootsweb's Worldconnect. Some of these family trees have her date of birth as 28 Nov 1677. This needs more research to confirm. | Lindsey, Mary (I20628)
|
| 6874 | The death records at familysearch.org for Lucy Allen are confusing; one says her father was Palmer T. Briggs and another says her father is Palmer T. Allen. without viewing the original, I am including Lucy as a child in this family, pending further research to confirm. | Briggs, Lucy (I27056)
|
| 6875 | The entry in the RI Death Index identifies Benjamin's parents as Daniel & Alice. In the 1850 Federal Census, Benjamin N. & Eliza Remington are living at Cranston, RI. They have two young daughters -- Sarah F. & Mary A. In 1860 the family is still in Cranston. B. N. & Eliza have four children: Sarah F., Mary, George H., & Edward E. Next door is Francis Larose and family -- probably Eliza's brother. He is also born in Canada. In 1870, 1875, & 1880 they are in Providence. In 1880 three of their children are with them: Mary A., Edward E., & Philip K. His middle name as Nelson came from familysearch.org | Remington, Benjamin Nelson (I15177)
|
| 6876 | The exact date of marriage was taken from The Belva Hall Burlingame family history. The Revolutionary War Pension file says sometime in the winter of 1781/2, probably March. | Family F02471
|
| 6877 | The exact identity of this Jonathan is unclear (see notes below). It is possible that he was a son of a Remington family of Prudence Island, and married an Allen girl from there. Both the Remingtons and the Allens lived on Prudence Island, Portsmouth, and had family connections and land connections. There is a marriage record for Jonathan Remington, of Jonathan & Susannah (or Luranah?) Remington of East Greenwich, 18 Oct 1753, to Mary Thurston (RI Friends' Records). At first it was unclear to me whether this might be a first marriage for this particular Jonathan (mother's name unclear); however, Mary (Thurston) Remington died between 1777 and 1782, probably after her husband Jonathan died. See notes for Mary Thurston. Jonathan was probably born in East Greenwich, or at least spent part of his youth there, since his birth is registered there. At some point, probably before 1741, his family moved to Massachusetts. He may have married there or in RI, but apparently at some point probably moved to Portsmouth, RI, because at least two of his children were born there; at least, their births were registered there. I am not sure when or where Jonathan and his wife died. He is very possibly the Jonathan Remington listed in the 1790 Federal Census at Hancock, MA. His son Allen lived in both MA and RI. "A Scattered People: An American Family Moves West" by Gerald W. McFarland, p. 81 (Google Books) says that Allen Remington and his father (Jonathan) had briefly lived at Exeter, RI; Allen came to Hancock, MA, from RI after the Revolution. Boyd Scott Remington's chart shows this Jonathan married to Prudence. However, according to an unpublished manuscript of "Family Notes" at the Knight Memorial Library in Providence, "Jonathan Remington, b.1726 Hancock, MA, married Pruda, b.1731, and had a son Allen who married Deidama; they in turn had a son Jonathan who married Diana Hall." This is clearly the same family group, but unfortunately appears to be different Jonathans, because this one was born at East Greenwich, RI, in 1730 (at least the birth was recorded there). Which is correct? (See notes for Allen's son Jonathan b.1784) See also DAR ID Number: 25799, Mrs. Sarah M. Remington Taylor; this says Jonathan was born 1726 at Hancock, MA. BSRs chart shows the son Allen as having lived and then dying at Hancock, MA. However, James N. Arnold's "Vital Record of RI" shows Allen & Diadama Remington on the membership list of the First General Baptist Church of Richmond, RI, on 17 September 1810. Possibly Jonathan's family, and/or one or more of his children, moved to RI and then back to MA. But was Jonathan, father of Allen, born in MA or RI? This Jonathan needs more research. See notes for his father, implying that he may have moved out of state (his land was sold at public auction to pay outstanding debts). James N. Arnold's Vital Record of RI, Richmond, lists the following Remingtons as church members in 1770: Hepsibeth, Jonathan, Lydia, Martha, Prudence, and William. This would appear to support part of this family group in BSRs chart; but who is William? At the present I am assuming he is another son, and thus adding him to the list of Jonathan's children, pending further research. However, the possibility remains that these were two different but related Remington families. | Remington, Jonathan (I04557)
|
| 6878 | The Fall River 1860 census shows a Benjamin Hambly, Jr., age 18, as an apprentice to William Blake, blacksmith. Is he the son of this Benjamin? | Hambly, Benjamin IV (I00738)
|
| 6879 | The family Bible has her birth year as 1838 (a copy of this record is in the Mary E. Rice Collection). Virginia Adair has the birth year as 1837. | Remington, Sarah Augusta (I11989)
|
| 6880 | The family Bible has his birth year as 1833 (a copy of this record is in the Mary E. Rice Collection). Virginia Adair has the year as 1832. | Remington, Henry Adolphus (1) (I11987)
|
| 6881 | The family Bible has his birthdate as 27 Apr 1827. I believe that Charles wrote a poem about his nephew on the occasion of the death of Rev. Battey. (See notes for Nicholas Battey b 1836) His gravestone includes the following inscription: "In my Father's house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. John 14:2" | Battey, Charles James (I02568)
|
| 6882 | The family births were recorded all at one time after the change to the Gregorian calendar, so I am assuming the 3rd month means March. | Southwick, Hannah (I27653)
|
| 6883 | The family births were recorded all at one time after the change to the Gregorian calendar, so I am assuming the 3rd month means March. | Southwick, Elisabeth (I27651)
|
| 6884 | The family births were recorded all at one time after the change to the Gregorian calendar, so I am assuming the 9th month means September. | Southwick, Jane (I27652)
|
| 6885 | The family is at Lorraine, Jefferson Co., NY, in the 1850 Federal Census. Son Melvin and his young wife Lany are next door. In 1860 N. & Laura are still at Lorraine. There are three children in the household. | Clarke, Nathaniel Perkins (I09614)
|
| 6886 | The family is at Providence in the 1880 Federal Census. | Remington, William Herbert (I11011)
|
| 6887 | The family lived in Shrewsbury, NJ, until at least 1680, but Peter was in Jamestown by 8 Dec 1694 when he signed a deed witnessed by Oliver Arnold (his daughter Phebe's first husband), Ephraim Turner, and Joseph Mory. | Parker, Peter (I05439)
|
| 6888 | The family lived on Hopkins Hill Rd. and later on Washington St., Coventry. | Hopkins, Elliott Allen (I00152)
|
| 6889 | The family notes of Martha Adams (Remington) (Davies) Bower show the name of Edward's wife as "Mrs. Janie Livingston." I think Livingston was her name from a previous marriage. (See notes for Edward.) | Wyche, Lucinda "Jane" (I14183)
|
| 6890 | The family surname is sometimes spelled Hawley. | Holley, Luther S. (I07357)
|
| 6891 | The Fenner Family, p. 11, says they were married in 1710. However, it also has a couple of their sons being born several years before 1710, p. 16. So, either their date of marriage is not known, or else the Fenner genealogy has some of the sons in the wrong family group. I have estimated the year of marriage. | Family F05599
|
| 6892 | The first recorded meeting of Masons in Pawtuxet Village was 12 Apr 1805 at the home of Anthony Aborn, Esq. There were seven present. It was decided to establish a Lodge at Pawtuxet. The third meeting was 26 April at Col. Bowen's house, where they drew up a petition for a Lodge. Eight additional people signed, including Peleg Remington & Simeon Smith, Jr. After Simeon moved to Thomasville, GA, he and his son-in-law, Edward Remington, joined together in establishing a mercantile store (from notes by Mrs. Doris Davies). | Smith, Captain Simeon Jr. (I10604)
|
| 6893 | The five oldest daughters are mentioned in the will of Phebe's mother, Sarah Arnold, dated 1708. | Arnold, Phoebe (I03907)
|
| 6894 | The following entries may pertain to Sarah and her family: Baptisms from Rehoboth Church Records, transcribed by Elisha Turner, NEHGR, Vol. 15, Jan. 1861 Sarah Carpenter, 12 Sep 1697 Mehitabel Carpenter, 12 Sep 1697 Thomas Carpenter, 12 Sep 1697 Abia Carpenter, 12 Sep 1697 Rachell Carpenter, 18 Jun 1699 Peter Carpenter, 25 May 1701 Mary Carpenter, 29 Apr 1705 Cornelius Carpenter, 17 Apr 1709 Abiel Carpenter (no date given) Abraham Carpenter (no date given) Father for each given as Abiah (or Abia) Carpenter | Carpenter, Sarah (I00612)

| 6895 | The following entries probably pertain to this family group: Baptisms from Rehoboth Church Records, transcribed by Elisha Turner, NEHGR, Vol. 15, Jan 1861 Bethia Carpenter, daughter of Daniel (no date given) Daniel Carpenter, son of Daniel (no date given) Eliezar Carpenter, son of Daniel (no date given) Elisha Carpenter, son of Daniel (no date given) Jabesh Carpenter, son of Daniel (no date given) | Carpenter, Daniel (I00717)
|
| 6896 | The following entries suggest that Ellery and Nancy became members of the church in May 1806, and that they were already married at that time. MANCHESTER Ellery, of Philip, b. May 23, 1806, Member Tiverton MANCHESTER Nancy, (Cory, of Benjamin), wife of Ellery, May --, 1806, Member Tiverton | Family F06577
|
| 6897 | The following information has been provided by a descendant, Richard Allen Brownell, Sr.: Daniel Lippitt's family on the 1850 Spring Township, Crawford Co., PA census shows the following: Family #64=Daniel Lippitt 53 m. born 1797 in Rhode Island, Catherine 48 born 1802 in Vermont, Jane 21 born 1829 in NY, Ann M. 18 born 1832 in NY, William 13 born 1837 in NY, Isaac B. 11 born 1839 in NY. Note: William and Isaac similar names to Catherine Burch's family in Otsego. The next family #65=Lorenzo Lippitt 26 born 1824 in NY, Mary (Ross) Lippitt 21born 1829 in PA, Martha L. Lippitt 2 born 1848 in PA, Louise 4/12 born 1849 in PA. | Lippitt, Daniel (I04521)
|
| 6898 | The following information is extracted from the opening pages of William H. Chaffee's "The Chafee Genealogy," published in the early 1900s by Grafton Press: Thomas Chaffey is "considered to be the immigrant ancestor of nearly all in America who to-day bear this surname under its varied forms of orthography, from Chafe to Chaffee." * He came from England to New England, "where in 1635 he owned land and was living in Hingham, MA, a town near Boston. The place and date of his birth, his parentage, the time and place of his arrival, and the name of the ship which bore him from the Old World to the New, are at present unknown . . ." The land given by Hingham to Thomas Chaffey, most likely in his bachelor days, is bordering the east side of what is now Main Street, approximately opposite the old meeting-house. "He was probably married in Hull [between 1637 and 1641] . . . The town records of Hull prior to 1657 have been lost . . . It is probable that [his] wife's Christian name was Dorothy, as her sons both had daughters by that name . . . in that day it was the custom to name children for their grandparents . . ." Besides the early land records from Hingham, his name later appears in an official 1642 document from Nantasket, MA (now Hull), granting plantation rights (farming, homebuilding, fishing) to twelve men, including Thomas. At least two 1670 deeds, in which he sells parcels of land, have his youngest son Joseph among the witnesses: Joseph Chaffy, Joseph Chafy. We can assume that Joseph had reached young adulthood by this time. At some point, most likely between 1657 and 1660, Thomas moved from Hull to Rehoboth (Indians called it Seekonk), which at that time was part of the Plymouth Colony. His land, in the area called Wannamoisett, was probably in the section that eventually became Swansea in 1668. A deed of 1664 calls him a Planter. He and his family lived here during the ravages of King Philip's War (Jun 1675 - Aug 1676). His will was written in July of 1680, and exhibited 6 Mar 1682/3, so it is assumed he died between those two dates. His body is probably buried on his own farm, located on the west bank of the Sowams River, now called the Barrington River, "about two miles northwest of the present town of Barrington Center, RI." Thomas Chaffey's 1680 will mentions the names of two children: Nathaniel, spoken of as the eldest son; and Joseph, who was made executor of his father's will. Thomas's Bible was willed by Joseph to his son, Joseph, who married and settled in Woodstock, CT, where he died in 1759. Josiah, his youngest son, inherited the family Bible and passed it on to his descendants. The Bible contains an original signature, dated July 1664: Thommas Chaffy (or Chaffe). A copy may be seen in the Appendix of William H. Chaffee's book. * (William H. Chaffee writes that there are at least eleven forms of the surname, as follows: Chafe, Chafy, Chafie, Chafey, Chafee,Chaphe, Chaffy, Chaffie, Chaffey, Chaffe, and Chaffee.) | CHAFFEY, Thomas (I00607)

| 6899 | The following information is from "Kings and Queens of England and Great Britain" by Eric R. Delderfield, pub. 1990 by David & Charles, pp. 20 - 22. William married his second cousin, Matilda of Flanders. She was daughter of the Count of Flanders, and is a descendant of the House of Wessex. William was also a second cousin of Edward the Confessor, King of England from 1042 to 1066. William was said to be illegitimate by birth, son of Duke Robert the Magnificent and a tanner's daughter. As king, William I, The Conqueror, was "ruthless and cruel." However, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle says "He was mild to the good men that loved God, and beyond measure severe to the men that gainsaid his will . . . It is not to be forgotten that good peace he made in this land." "By his oath to observe the old Saxon laws and his imposition of Continental feudal customs, William effectively prevented the monarchy from exercising unlimited power, laying the ground for the development of English laws and liberties." The following notes are from "The Lives of the Kings & Queens of England" edited by Antonia Fraser, pub. 1998 University of California Press, pp. 20 ff. William became Duke of Normandy in 1035. He was almost continuously at war. From the evidence of the bones in their graves, it seems that William was about 5" 10' tall, while Matilda was about 4" 2' tall. They had at least nine children, and it is believed that William was never unfaithful to her. William invaded England in 1066 because he said that Edward the Confessor had promised the English throne to him and that Harold Godwinson had sworn an oath supporting this. He defeated Harold and his forces at Hastings on 14 Oct 1066. Over the next few years minor revolts broke out around England, and little by little William achieved control of the entire country. Rebels were punished by confiscation of their lands, which were given to Normans who were loyal supporters of William. Several hundred castles were built, evidence of William's stronghold on the land. Most of the English aristocracy was subdued and/or wiped out. In 1086 William commissioned the Domesday Book, which listed the major landholders in each county along with the value of their holdings. He died in a battle against the King of France for disputed territory between Rouen and Paris. His forces won the attack on Mantes, but William received a mortal wound. His ancestral lands in Normandy were given to the eldest son Robert (who at times had rebelled against his father), while the will gave England to his son William to rule. | NORMANDY, William of (I19861)

| 6900 | The following information is from "Watson History and Genealogy": Matthew Watson and his family came to Boston, Massachusetts Bay, in 1718. He was a Presbyterian by belief, and of English parentage. His family had been living in Coleraine, County Londonderry, Ireland, where he was a cloth dealer. After coming to America, Matthew turned to farming. He farmed in Framingham, MA, in 1719. Then he purchased land in Leicester, MA, in 1720, settled his family there, and began clearing the land and farming. However, during the first year there, while clearing land with his eldest son, a tree fell on Matthew, killing him instantly. It is believed that Matthew & Mary had nine children. Of the six whose dates of birth and death are known, the average age was 84 years, and two lived to be over 100. | Watson, Matthew I (I12748)
