| 7051 | The names of seven of the children of John and Molly are written in the Diary of Captain Samuel Tillinghast, Molly's father: Daniel, Polly, John, Henry, Varnum, Hannah, and Franklin. The only ones missing from the list are Marsha, who is mentioned in John's pension records, and Abigail, one of the three surviving children as of 1851. ("The Diary of Capt. Samuel Tillinghast 1757-1766," transcribed and edited by Cherry Fletcher Bamberg, Rhode Island Genealogical Society, 2000, p. xli.) DAR records suggest that he had a second wife named Mary Greene. I haven't yet found any evidence of this (needs more research to confirm). See notes for John's wife Mary Tillinghast. John Remington was at Cheshire, Berkshire Co., MA, in the Federal Censuses of 1800 and 1810. John Remmington was at Adams, Berkshire County, MA, in the 1820 (2 males, 2 females) and 1830 (1 male 70-80, 1 female 60-70) Federal Censuses. (1830: p. 29 of 32 at ancestry.com) It appears from John's pension records that he was back in Warwick, RI in 1818. However, he may have gone back to his hometown for a period of time to take care of family matters, such as the estate of his mother-in-law (see Warwick Land Evidence). According to "The Tillinghasts in America" by Wayne G. Tillinghast, Rhode Island Genealogical Society, 2006, p. 528, John probably moved there in 1787, as quoted from a letter from Captain Samuel Tillinghast to his daughter Freelove Greene: "Mr. Remington Sat off afoot for hoosuck, and purposes To Move his Famely in the Fall." Wayne G. Tillinghast notes that Adams, MA, was originally known as East Hoosuck Plantation. He is likely the "Capt. John Remington who formerly lived near the corner of Eagle and Center streets in North Adams, who with his wife were buried in the old Colgrove Cemetery." (source: "Berkshire Genealogist" Vol. 26 No. 4 Fall 2005, p. 128; reprinted from "The Berkshire Hills" of 1900/01) John, "of North Adams, MA," was a Lieutenant in Colonel Angell's RI Company in 1776, during the Revolutionary War. He also served in Captain Lewis's Company, under Colonel James M. Varnum in the RI Line. He first appeared in the Kent County Court of Common Pleas to appeal for a pension on 2 June 1818, as "a resident of Warwick, RI" (perhaps referring to it as his former home?). However, he later transferred from the RI Line to MA for purposes of his pension. He appeared in Court at Lenox, Berkshire County, MA, on 28 June 1820 at age 63 years and 8 months, at which time he was a resident of Adams, MA, to testify and sign a statement concerning his Revolutionary War service. He said that living with him were his wife Mary, age 58, who had been lame for 30 years, and his daughter Marsha, age 12. The pension records also state that "John Remington of Warwick, RI, qualifies for admission to the Society of Cinncinnati." (Pension File # S30053) According to the book "Isaac Willey of New London, Conn., and his descendants" by Henry Willey, New Bedford, MA, 1888, p. 81, both John and his wife Mary were buried in one grave at North Adams, MA. Their funeral discourse was preached by Elder Leland, aged 85. This book gives John's date of death as 7 Feb 1840 and Mary's as 10 Feb 1840, both being buried 12 Feb 1840. These dates differ by one month from the dates in the pension file. A research trip to the Athanaeum in Pittsfield might clear up this discrepancy. From "Berkshire Co., Mass., Probate Index, 1761 to 1900" page 243: John Remington, Adams, Adm., Jan 15 1840, #6117. The Society of the Cincinnati was founded in 1783 for army officers who had served honorably for at least three years in the Revolution. It was to provide a context in which they could continue the friendships that had been established during the war, and through which they could provide financially for the livlihoods and families of those who had served their country so sacrificially. George Washington was chosen as the Society's first president. The French officers who had served alongside the Americans established a similar brother organization. Read more about the history of this organization at: [http://www.gwpapers.virginia.edu/articles/cincinnati/index.html] and also at Wikipedia. Of interest -- from the website of Cincinnati, Ohio: "Shortly after it was founded in 1788, the city was renamed Cincinnati in honor of the Society of the Cincinnati, an association of officers in the American Revolution (1775-1783). The organization itself was named after Roman statesman Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, whom legend held to be the model of virtue." | Remington, John (I02843)

| 7052 | The names of these children came from a letter handwritten by Benjamin LeValley, b.1801. Michael LeValley was "of Warwick." | LeValley, Michael (I06183)
|
| 7053 | The names of Thomas & Eliza were found in the RI Death Index, with the death record of Letitia. | White, Thomas (I12742)
|
| 7054 | The names of Zilpha's parents came from the New England Historic Genealogical Register, Vol 79, p 351, which references the Foster Papers. | King, Zilpha (I21894)
|
| 7055 | The New England Historical & Genealogical Register 22, 354 says "Enoch was son of Thomas, of John of Suffolk." The will of Micah Brown dated 4 Jan 1747/48 mentions him as "kinsman Enoch Remington." Perhaps they were cousins? (see next note) On 15 Mar 1742/43, James Brown of Barrington was appointed to be guardian of Enoch Remington, a minor over 14 years of age, son of Thomas Remington of Barrington. "Enock Remington" was baptized at the Newman Congregational Church, Seekonk (or East Providence) in May 1729. (see Arnold's VRs for East Providence, Church Records, p. 519) He was also a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Boyd Scott Remington gives his dates as 1735 - 1798 (no sources). Also, he has his parents as John & Susanna of Jamestown, which is almost certainly incorrect. The will of Enoch Remington of Barrington, RI, gentleman, was dated 21 Nov 1807, and proved 1 July 1811. In mentions his wife Molly, and several children, grandchildren, and other relatives as follows: son Enoch dec'd., leaving widow Ruth; daughters Molly Niall, Lydia Bowen, Bathiah Armington, and Mercy Armington dec'd; son-in-law Asa Armington of Rehoboth, yeoman; grandsons Samuel Walker (?) Remington & Enoch Remington, sons of Enoch dec.'d.; granddaughter Ruth Armington, daughter of Enoch dec'd.; and grandson Joseph Armington, son of Mercy dec'd. The will was witnessed by Josiah Humphrey, Jr., Benjamin Niall, & Elisha Humphrey. | Remington, Enoch I (I04183)
|
| 7056 | The New England Historical and Genealogical Register Vol 167 p 152 says that Philip and Sarah were married in Roxbury, MA, c 1633. | Family F00654
|
| 7057 | The Newport Mercury of 6 Dec 1783 reported the marriage of John Remington, Jr. & Phebe Carr, of James, at Jamestown. Since it seems quite clear that John was a son of Benjamin & Hannah (Martin) Remington, the Jr. probably means younger, indicating that there was an older John Remington living in the area at the time. "These are to certify that Mr. John Remington & Miss Phebe Carr both of Jamestown in the State of Rhode Island were Joined together in marriage on the 27th of November 1783 by me Gardiner Thurston Pastor of a Ch of Christ in Newport in sd State." James N. Arnold's Vital Record of RI, Vol. VII, has the marriage date as 27 Oct 1783, and the bride's name as Phebe Card. | Family F01564
|
| 7058 | The newspaper announcement of her marriage identifies her as Clementina S. Remington, d/o Tiddeman H., formerly of Jamestown, RI. "Clementine C. Cornell" died of dysentery at age 40 in Savannah, GA. Her birthplace is given as RI. | Remington, Clemence C. (I07820)
|
| 7059 | The newspaper announcements say she married Col. John Remington, but her death notice in 1797 identifies her as the wife of Col. Jonathan of Lansingburgh, NY. John did not move to Lansingburgh as Jonathan did, so the original marriage announcement should have read Col. Jonathan. Also, I have found no documentation that John's first wife died prior to this time. Added evidence from Cheshire town records: October 21, 1795 Marriage intended between Jonathan Remington Esqr of Cheshire and Mercy (?) Comstock of Providence Rhode Island. | Family F00906
|
| 7060 | The newspaper report of his death says he died at age 60. I have made an assumption that he is the son of Nathaniel; the age at death agrees with his birth year. | Hubbard, Nathaniel (I28619)
|
| 7061 | The newspaper reported the death of Patience Rogers, daughter of Jeremiah. I am not sure this is the correct family group for her, but have placed her here tentatively. | Rogers, Patience (I24328)
|
| 7062 | The North Kingstown Town Hall has a record of a deed dated 13 Aug 1731 in which John deeded land to his son Michael. | Dawley, Michael (I27778)
|
| 7063 | The notation on the birth record says Freeborn Gideon Cornell was the illegitimate son of Elizabeth Slocum; she called him "Antipas" but later returned to calling him by his given name. | Cornell, Freeborn Gideon (I27570)
|
| 7064 | The NYC marriage index has her name as Locock Lasell. The 1900 census says she is Gail H. Remington; in 1910 she is Gail L. Remington. One family tree has her name as Abigail. In the 1930 census she is a widow. working as a servant living at Bound Brook, Somerset Co., NJ. | Lasell, Gail Locock (I22454)
|
| 7065 | The obituary of Abbie Fairbanks Remington was in the Watertown Daily Times, Sept 1937 (text posted at Rootsweb, Jefferson County message board, 13 Mar 2001). DAR ID Number: 12162 (says she was born in Florida). Census of 1900 also says FL. In the 1920 Federal Census, Abbie C. Remington is age 60 FL, widowed, and still living at Watertown, Jefferson Co., NY. Son Thomas F., 20, is with her, as well as her sister Harriet B. Fairbanks, 63. | Fairbanks, Abbie Crosby (I10096)

|
| 7067 | The One Consolation of a Soldier poem written by Pvt. Russel Philip Remington on January 2, 1943 sent to his mother, Laura Russel Remington, from North Africa, during World War II he died in combat on March 31, 1943 Dear Mom as I sit looking up into the sky tonight all lighted with millions of stars and the silvery moonlight My thoughts are brought closer to home and you Because this same sky over me is over you too. The sky covers a great span over thousands of miles of sea from land to land On that side is glittering New York and home and on this side the dark African sand and me sitting alone. There's a bitter war to be fought over here where many fellows like me are fighting for loved ones at home who we love so dear. But some day we're going to win this fight And then we too will be looking at the other side of the sky and the moonlight. RI Pvt 39 Inf 9 Inf Div/World War II The following link leads to a web site which tells of the battles in Tunisia around the time Russel was killed: http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USA/USA-C-Tunisia/ I believe Russel died, probably between 6 am and 12:45 pm, in an offensive commanded by General Patton and known as Benson Force. The took place in and around the El Guettar Valley, between Gafsa and Gabes, Tunisia. | Remington, Russel Philip (I00078)
|
| 7068 | The online transcription of cemetery records at the Georgia Genweb site has her date of death as 16 Oct 1850. | Smith, Mary Arnold (I10620)
|
| 7069 | The online transcription of her gravestone says eleanor R. Remington born 1887 died 1887, d/o A. J. & P. Is the year of birth incorrect, or did the first Eleanor die young and so they had a nother Eleanor later? | Remington, Eleanor (I20975)
|
| 7070 | The only Garrett Remington I can find in the census records after 1850 is in New York State in 1880, 1920, & 1920. However, the age is five to six years off, and the state of birth is given as NY. It may be the same individual, though. In 1880 Garrett Remington, 38 NY, is living at Villenova, Chautauqua Co., NY. He has a wife, Augusta, age 34. In 1910 Garret P. Remington, 69 NY, is living at Villenova, Chautauqua Co., NY. He has a second wife, Ellen A., 70, NY. They have been married 0 years. In 1920 Garret P. & Ellen A. Remington, ages 78 & 84, are living at Dayton, Cattaraugus Co., NY. Again, I am not sure this is the same Garret Remington as the son of Benjamin & Hannah. | Remington, Garrett (I16121)
|
| 7071 | The only Seth Merrill I could find in the 1880 Federal Census is a son of Henry & Emma Merrill, living at Grouse Creek, Utah. The family of William & Harriett Merrill does not have a son Seth b.1872 listed in 1880. Perhaps he was elsewhere, and not listed with any family? Or, maybe Seth is really William, and the given age is incorrect. | Merrill, Seth W. (I10130)
|
| 7072 | The Oregon Bio Project has Electa's date of death as 24 Nov 1891. However, I believe that Monday was the 23rd of November that year; the death notices say that she died Monday night. Death notice in The Dalles Times, 25 Nov 1891: "REMINGTON -- At Fifteen Mile, Monday night, Mrs. Electa S. Remington, aged 75 years. The deceased was born in Oneida County, New York. She leaves a husband, to whom she was married 51 years ago, and three sons and one daughter to mourn her loss. She was buried at Fifteen Mile creek, from the family residence, this (Wednesday) morning, Rev. A. C. Spencer officiating." Obituary: "Death of MRS. REMINGTON. -- Mrs. Electra Remington, the aged wife of J. E. Remington, living in the Thompson addition, died Monday evening after a short illness. Several days ago she was stricken with a severe attack of typhoid pneumonia and rapidly grew worse until death released her from her suffering. The funeral took place this morning, the remains being buried at the home ranch on Fifteen mile creek, it being the request of the dying woman that she be laid to rest at the side of her grandson who had died some time ago. Mr. Remington and his wife had been married for 51 years and had lived in Wasco county for a long time." | Morse, Electa Sherrill (I24742)
|
| 7073 | The original birth entry at West Greenwich reads: "Simeon Whitford the second son of Nicholas Whitford and Mary his Wife was Born April the 28th Day 1750 and the seventh Day of the week about ten of the Clock att Night." His gravestone has been photographed and is posted on the family tree at our web site. It is in Historical Cemetery #27, off Burnt Sawmill Rd., West Greenwich. | Whitford, Simeon (I01249)
|
| 7074 | The original birth entry reads: "Levi Whitford the First Son of Nicholas Whitford and Susanna His wife was Born October ye 21st Day 1753 the First Day of the week about 3 of the Clock in the morning" Levi and Mary lived on Weaver Hill Road in West Greenwich, RI. The house and farm were in the Whitford family for nearly 100 years. The house is still standing and occupied. (See notes for his father Nicholas) I have made an assumption that Levi and his wife both died in West Greenwich. | Whitford, Levi (I01233)
|
| 7075 | The original birth record reads: "Asa Whitford the third Son of Nicholas Whitford and Susannah his wife was Born December the 30th 1761 and of the fourth Day of the week about three o Clock In the morning" | Whitford, Asa (I01234)
|
| 7076 | The original birth record reads: "mary whitford the First Daughter of Nicholas Whitford and Susannah his wife was Born march ye 10 day 1757 on the fifth Day of the week about five of the Clock in the after Noon" | Whitford, Mary (I01235)
|
| 7077 | The original marriage entry at Jamestown identifies Ebenezer Smith as son of Ebenezer & Abigail. Dinah is identified as daughter of Gershom & Clemence. Ebenezer & Dinah were married by Daniel Weeden, Warden of the Peace. | Family F04606
|
| 7078 | The original marriage entry at Scituate Town Hall has the date of 8 Nov 1751, and says they were married by Benjamin Fisk, Justice of the Peace. | Family F00470
|
| 7079 | The original marriage entry is at the Richmond Town Hall in the "Book of Marriages and Deaths, 1850-1910, p. 14. It says, "In Richmond, Nov. 25th (1866), Charles C. Whitford born in West Greenwich, age 31 -- a farmer, and Hatty P. Johnson born in Coventry, age 17; parents of each: Jeremiah and Sally W. Whitford, Phillip and Tryphena H. Johnson; married by Gilbert Tillinghast, Minister of the Gospel." It was the first marriage for both of them. | Family F00103
|
| 7080 | The parents of John may be Jacob & Elizabeth Adcock, who had the following children: John (b.1818 in Mansfield), Henrietta, Pricilla, Eliza, Elizabeth, & Catherine. | Adcock, John (I02127)
|
| 7081 | The Portsmouth birth records for John and his siblings state that the family was of Prudence Island. There were several other individuals of this same name born around the same time. Some family trees, including DAR and SAR records, have this particular John as marrying Eunice Briggs. But I believe that is incorrect, based on available evidence in NK records. From the DAR website: PIERCE, JOHN Ancestor #: A091393 Service: RHODE ISLAND Rank: LIEUTENANT Birth: 15 Feb 1749 NORTH KINGSTON RHODE ISLAND Death: 22 Jun 1829 NORTH KINGSTON RHODE ISLAND Service Description: 1) ALSO ENS, CAPT HAWKINS, COL STANTON The DAR and SAR records have this particular John Pearce of the above birthdate as the one who married Eunice Briggs. He was a son of Nathaniel and Merebah, of Prudence Island. However, there is the following birth record in North Kingstown: PIERCE John, of Benjamin, Feb. 20, 1750. North Kingstown Births (Vol. Unknown Original Volume & Page : Pg. 17416) The NK will of John Pearce of NK mentions his father as Benjamin (not Nathaniel). Consequently, some genealogies have John b 1750 s/o Benjamin as the one who married Eunice Briggs. This seems to make more sense, based on John's will (and his granddaughter's being named Eunice Briggs Pearce, as mentioned in that will). It is interesting to note that the two births (Portsmouth and North Kingstown) are just about a year apart. One might wonder if they could be duplicate records in different towns, with one written years afterwards, except that the father's name is different. There was a third John Pearce who also was a Revolutionary War soldier and a pensioner. He lived at Newport, and died in 1819 at age 67 (according to newspaper reports), which puts the estimate of his birth year at c1752. Elizabeth, widow of John Pearce of Newport, died in 1826. In addition, there were at least 4 other John Pearces born between 1745 and 1758 in Portsmouth and Little Compton. One of the John Pearces of RI, also a Rev War soldier, died in SC in 1828, as reported in local newspapers. | Pearce, John (I25497)
|
| 7082 | The probate documents of John Hathaway of Dartmouth dated 11 July 1732 mention Hannah Boomer as a daughter. "John, the oldest son, married Johanna Pope, daughter of Thomas Pope, and Sarah “Jenne,” both well known families in Plymouth. (A well preserved Pope cradle of 1648 is exhibited in this building.) His second wife was Patience. The first wife had six children, and the second ten, and of these, ten were sons." John Hathaway Married (1st) Joanna Pope, daughter Thos. and Sarah (Carey) Pope. Children: Sarah - Married John Cadman. Joanna - Married Elkanah Blackwell. John - Married Alice Launders. Arthur - Married (2) Maria Luce. Hannah - Married ____ Boomer. Mary - Married ____ Douglass. John Hathaway (married 2nd) Patience. Children: Jonathan - Married Abagail Nye. Richard - Married Deborah Doty. Thomas. Hunnewell - Married Mary (Worth?) Abialson (or Abiah) - Married Mary Taber. Elizabeth. Patience - Married Reuben Peckham. Benjamin - Married Elizabeth Richmond, Mary Hix. James - Married Mary ____. (or Agnes Burton?) Ebenezer - Married Ruth Hatch. "John Hathaway’s land, chiefly on the west side of the Acushnet River, was in several tracts, and in area was about as extensive as that of his brother Thomas. His homestead extended from the river out to Mt. Pleasant Street, and began at a point 330 feet south of Davis Street at the north line of the Coffin farm, and extended north as far as Brooklawn Park. On the water front of this farm are located today the Whitman, Manomet, Nonquitt and Nashawena mills. In the northeast corner on the river was a landing place as early as 1730, and here John McPherson started the village of Belleville in 1774." "John Hathaway had another tract of 200 acres on the south side of Hathaway Road, and extending west from Shawmut Avenue to the ledge. On Shawmut its frontage is over half a mile. On the north side of the Tarkiln Hill Road were large tracts extending down from the hill west beyond the railroad, and east about the same distance. The house that he gave his son Arthur stands there today, and is still occupied. Arthur early moved to Rochester, and owned a large tract there. John also owned a large tract to the south of Sassaquin Pond, the east part of which became the farm of Jonathan Tobey." "In 1708 came the first clash between the Presbyterians and the Quakers, which resulted in the great struggle in 1723 when the English king, George I, overruled the general court of Massachusetts and declared the Quakers entitled to freedom from contributing toward the maintenance of Congregational churches and ministers. At the opening of the contest, which was urged chiefly in Dartmouth, a petition signed by eighty-six men who were Quakers and Baptists, was sent to the general court protesting against the church tax. This was signed by John and Thomas Hathaway. The position of Thomas can be easily understood, because his wife belonged to the leading Quaker family of Nantucket. John’s first wife was a sister of Captain Seth Pope, who was a vigorous Puritan. The second wife hasn’t yet been identified, but the second marriage may have led to his favor for the Quakers." (source: Old Dartmouth Historical Sketch Number 31, Being the proceedings of the Old Dartmouth Historical Society, Water Street, New Bedford, Massachusetts, on December 29, 1910; Arthur Hathaway and His Immediate Descendants, by Caroline W. Hathaway; https://www.whalingmuseum.org/explore/library/publications/old-dartmouth-historical-sketches/odhs-no-31) The following excerpt is from a different source: http://www.maxfieldgenealogy.com/hathaway01.html "John Hathaway lived out most of his life in the Town of Dartmouth. His first wife, Joanna, died at the age of thirty-seven, leaving John, age forty-two, with children ages eleven, nine, seven, five, two, and one. In nine months he married again, and had ten more children. John Hathaway's first wife, Joanna Pope, belonged to another family that moved to Dartmouth in its earlier days. When she was about eighteen years old, King Phillip's War broke out. The Indians attacked the frontier town of Dartmouth, killing two of Joanna's brothers and one sister-in-law, before they could reach the security of a garrison house. Everyone, including the remaining Popes and the Hathaways, left Dartmouth, returning in a few years to rebuild. When John Hathaway married his second wife, Patience Hunnewell, he was forty-three, she twenty-two. She probably came from Scarborough, in the District of Maine. By the time Patience gave birth to her tenth child, she was forty-three, John was sixty-three. All sixteen children lived to adulthood, and fourteen married. In 1708, when a Congregational Church was organized in Dartmouth, John Hathaway was one of eighty-six persons petitioning the Province against paying the church tax. John was probably a member of the Society of Friends, which had organized its first meeting in Dartmouth in 1699. " | HATHAWAY, John (I05972)

| 7083 | The proper identification of Ann Wanton (rather than Elizabeth Fenner) as the correct wife of Capt. William Rhodes is stated in "Supplement to Descendants of Roger Williams, Book I, Waterman Line," Additions & Corrections, 2003, compiled by Dorothy Higson White. It is believed that Elizabeth Fenner married a different William Rhodes. | Wanton, Ann (I14701)
|
| 7084 | The Providence Phenix recorded the death of Charles Tibbitts on Oct. 2, 1812, in his 47th year. It stated that he left a wife and two children (see James Arnold's Vital Record of RI, 1636 - 1850, Deaths From Newspapers). His gravestone has ben photographed, but it is very difficult to read. | TIBBETTS, Charles (I00338)
|
| 7085 | The record at West Greenwich reads: "Jesse Whitford the Second Son of Nicholas Whitford and Susannah his wife was Born June the 19th Day 1755 And Deseased July the 16th Day 1755" | Whitford, Jesse (I01667)
|
| 7086 | The Remington Ancestry Chart by Boyd Scott Remington has the date of marriage as 13 June 1710, and location as Kittery, Maine. Unfortunately, no source is noted. The online genealogy of Ann M. Mcallister (at genealogy.com) has their marriage on 13 June 1712 at Old Eliot (now Kittery), Maine, as does the Remington genealogy compiled by Lois Remington Smith. | Family F02766
|
| 7087 | The Remington chart by Boyd Scott Remington at RIHSL has the following information for this John Remington: born 1695 at Warwick, RI, died 8 Jul 1723 at Johnston, RI; freeman 1718; purchased land on Drybrook 1721, retained in family until 1835; married Mariam Sweet; had son Joshua born 1720, died 15 Aug 1787 at Johnston. Mariam (Sweet) Remington later married Ebenezer Greene (b. 8 Feb 1701) on 1 Aug 1724; she married third Edward Capron on 1730. The chart also shows the son Joshua marrying Elizabeth King, b. 1730, d. 18 Apr 1824. Supposedly they had 7 or 8 children, including a son Caleb and a daughter Mariam. No documentation is provided. This needs more research. However, I am including BSR's information on John's son Joshua because it is the link to Caleb Remington & Roby Warner, whose information I have researched and confirmed. Note, that Joshua is Caleb's father has not been personally verified by me; or, that Mariam's husband is the John Remington in this family group. | Remington, John (I02907)

| 7088 | The Remington/Battey/Whitford family Bible has her name written as Deliah or Deliak. | Whitford, Delila (I01980)
|
| 7089 | The Rhode Island Cemetery Database has her date of death as 15 May 1888. | Gorton, Mary (I03152)
|
| 7090 | The Rhode Island Cemetery Database says he was born c.1745. The will of William Rice, of Warwick, far advanced in life, yeoman, mentions his wife Maplet Rice; son Jeffrey Amhurst Rice, dec'd; daughter Sally Remington w/o James Remington; granddaughters Roby Munroe w/o John Munroe, Abby Ann Rice, Barbara Rice, Phebe Rice, & Sarah Rice; grandsons Joseph & Sylvester Rice; grandson William Rice s/o Jeffrey Amhurst Rice, dec'd; grandson William Rice Remington s/o James Remington (rec'd land in will; codicil states he died w/o issue and land given to grandsons Thomas, Henry, & Jonathan Remington, sons of James E. Remington). | Rice, William (I02811)
|
| 7091 | The Rhode Island Death Index identifies Alfred F. Remington as a son of Charles & Mary Remington. I have made an assumption that he belongs in this particular family group, because I know of no other couple named Charles & Mary in this time frame. Also, the names of Alfred's children are important clues that reflect the names of his siblings. In the 1850 Federal Census, Alfred F. & Eliza Remington, ages 45 & 42, are living in Cranston, RI. They have four children: Harriet 19, Charles 12, Albert 4, & Henry E. 2. In the 1860 Federal Census, Albert F. & Eliza Remington, ages 54 & 51, are still living in Cranston. Three of their children are in the household: Charles 22, Albert F. 16, & Henry A. 12. In 1870 they are in Ward 9, Providence, RI: Albert F. is 65 and Eliza R. is 60; Henry E. is 22. By 1880, Albert & Eliza have an empty nest. He is age 74 and an invalid; she is 71. They are living in District 53, Providence, RI. | Remington, Albert F. Sr. (I14663)
|
| 7092 | The Rhode Island Death Index identifies him as a son of Albert & Eliza, and says he died at age 54, which would make his year of birth c1845. Census data puts his birth variously at 1844, 1845, and 1846. Albert is with his parents and siblings in 1850 and 1860. In the 1870 Federal Census Albert F. Remington, age 25, is living with his wife Marietta, age 21, in Ward 1, Providence, RI. They have a young son, Ferdinand, age 2. The RI Death Index records Marietta's death in 1872. In the 1875 RI Census, Albert F. Remington is age 29, (second wife) Lucy is 30, son Ferdinand H. is 7, and daughter Annie E. is 8 months; they are at Providence. In 1880 Albert F. Remington is age 34, still married to Lucy F. and living in District 51, Providence, RI, with their three young children. His son by the first marriage, Ferdinand, is living with Albert's sister, Harriet A. Brightman, and family. | Remington, Albert F. Jr. (I14683)

| 7093 | The Rhode Island Republican Party nominated Seth Padelford for governor in 1860 -- a man whose antislavery views were extreme. However, he was defeated by Democrat William Sprague of Cranston, the heir to a vast cotton textile empire. The Democratic Party was more "soft on slavery." (see RI history web site: http://www.rilin.state.ri.us/studteaguide/RhodeIslandHistory/chapt5.htm) He was successful in a later run for office. Seth was Governor of Rhode Island from 1869 to 1873. He was RIs 27th governor. He was an active Unitarian. His obituary mentions his wife as Mary, and that he had three daughters and one son. His funeral was 30 Aug 1878 at 17 Benevolent St., Providence, RI. Here is an excerpt from the account of the funeral published in the Providence Journal of 31 Aug 1878: "He was a most persistant man always at his work, and, when the work of his business was over, always ready for the work of good neighborhood, of Christian philanthropy and Christian faith . . . he always appeared to be a loyal pupil in the old Puritan spirit in which he was educated. For him human life was made for a purpose and his personal life was made for a purpose. He felt that he was called with a calling of God . . . The flag at the State House floated at half-mast yesterday, and the portrait of Gov. Padelford on the State House walls was draped in mourning as tributes of respect." Seth's parents were John & Mary (Heath) Padelford. A picture of Seth and of his gravesite can be found at findagrave.com. | Padelford, Gov. Seth (I09726)

| 7094 | The Rhodes genealogy at RIHSL says that Lydia married a Mr. Remington and had a son Peleg. Her husband was very likely Peleg Remington (but needs more research to confirm). This marriage fits nicely between the death of his first wife and his following marriage. I am also making an assumption that Lydia died in childbirth or shortly afterward. I have not found any death record or gravestone transcription for her. | Rhodes, Lydia (I10868)

| 7095 | The RI American of 29 Mar 1825 reported that Henry died at age 22 as a result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The Providence Journal of 31 March 1825 likewise reported the death of Henry Remington, of Tiddeman, at Mendon, age 22, "shot himself with a horse pistol." | Remington, Henry Mumford (I07822)

| 7096 | The RI Cemetery database estimates his birth year as 1708, but his parents weren't married at that time. Perhaps the age on the gravestone is incorrect or was misread. William's will mentions his father, Elisha, wife Phebe, and children: Job, William, Thomas, Ann (w/o Capt. John Ladd), Phebe (w/o Samuel Hopkins), & Mercy; also his aunt Catherine Brown. I think she must have been Catherine (Greene) Brown, wife of James and sister of Anne Greene, who was mother of William's wife Phebe. William & Phebe are buried in the Arnold Lot, formerly the Old Baptist Church Cemetery, on the south side of Cowesett Rd., directly east of the Elms Apts., about 40 ft. up on the hill. | Arnold, William (I08811)
|
| 7097 | The RI Cemetery Database gives his birth year as c1773. Thomas's will mentions his wife Abigail; brother John whose wife is Mary; sister Hannah, wife of William Carter; sister Mary, wife of Walter Watson; and 18 nieces and nephews. | Carr, Thomas (I04841)
|
| 7098 | The RI Cemetery Database gives his dates of birth and death exactly the same as his wife's. Perhaps he is actually buried in Vermont, where he died (?), rather in the Newman Cemetery in East Providence, where Ruth is buried. John & Ruth had 10 children: Sylvester, Joseph, Molly, Hannah, Betty, Russell, Ruth, Olive, John, & Pruda. John and his second wife Chloe had a daughter Abigail. Information on all of these is included in "The Armington Family in America," but I have given data on only the three who link to other families on this tree. | Armington, John (I08720)
|
| 7099 | The RI Cemetery Database gives the name of Charles's wife as Marcy Remington. Probably this was a transcription error. Maplet Battey's grave is in the Pine Grove Cemetery in Coventry, but the gravestone is missing. The West Greenwich death record says she died 20 Dec 1861 at 79 yrs., 9 mos., and 18 days. It identifies her birthplace as Warwick, but does not name her parents. However, the 1850 WG census gives her birthplace as Massachusetts. In the 1860 Census at West Greenwich, Maplet was age 78, living with Charles and Ann Battey, her son and daughter-in-law. | REMINGTON, Maplet (I00339)

| 7100 | The RI Cemetery Database has Betsey's year of birth as c1785. She was age 67 in the 1850 Federal Census, which would suggest a birth year of c1783. The date of death in the cemetery data is 28 March 1866; the NASDAR Report of General Records, 1959, p. 57, Bible record of the family of John & Mary (Arnold) Stafford, has Betsey's date of death as 10 March 1866. The book "Descendants of Roger Williams, Book I," the Waterman and Winsor Lines, p. 71, also gives the parentage of Betsey Stafford. It says she was born 1785, and married Alphonso Armington and/or Charles B. Remington. In the 1860 Federal Census, Betsey Remington is age 76, living in Cranston, RI, with her son Benjamin W. Remington and his family. | Stafford, Elizabeth "Betsey" (I15109)
