7401 This Knapp family needs more research.

The will of David Knap of Johnston was dated 8 Jan 1826 and proved 18 Sep 1830. It mentions his wife Naomy; three sons: Zachariah, Joseph, & Moses; and one daughter, Lydia, who is single.

I am not sure how many times this David Knapp was married -- see all notes for David and his supposed wives. It may be that there were two David Knapp Jrs and that this family data should be divided between the two.

A David Knapp of Warwick, son of David, married Anne Griffin of Exeter, d/o Isaac, at West Greenwich 8 Dec 1768. Could this be the same David Knapp? I have made an assumption here that it is the same David (needs more research to confirm). Therefore, I am not absolutely certain that both of these marriages belong to the same David Knapp. Could Mariam have been his first wife and Anne the second? I have not positively resolved this. It could even have been a second marriage for his father, who may have also been a son of David.

See notes for David's son Remington Knapp. It is confirmed that his mother is Mariam. However, I don't know exactly when Remington was born.

There are two possible children for David & "Anne" Knapp: Moses B. b 2 Sep 1798, and Patience b c1787 (md. Laban Tefft Apr 1807 Johnston). If this is the same couple that were married in 1768, then Mariam must have been his first wife, or else the wife of another David Knapp. Or, Anne could have been a nickname for Mariam, also. As an alternative, David could have had a third wife also named Anne.

In the Federal Census of 1830, a David Knapp is listed at Johnston, RI. In the household are 3 males age 30 < 40, one male 80 < 90, one female 30 < 40, and one female 60 < 70. I have assumed the elderly gentleman age 80 - 90 is this David Knapp. The female is probably his wife "Naomy" mentioned in his will.

The Knapp property was located on Central Avenue in Johnston, west of what is now Route 5/Atwood Ave. Mariam's brother Caleb Remington and family members are buried at "the Knapp place."

Again, please be advised that I am not absolutely sure of these marriages for David, or of the exact birthdates of the children, or of which children belong to which wife. I have pieced David's likely family together as best I can, given the data I have, along with additional data from family trees at Rootsweb's Worldconnect to fill in some gaps.

A question which remains is, is Mariam referred to in some of the vital records as Anne? Moses is identified as son of David & Anne, not David & Mariam. 
Knapp, David Jr. (I08819)
 
7402 This list of children of Thomas & Dorcas came from Karen Eddy on the RI GENWEB mailing list. I have not verified the data. Manchester, Thomas (I03702)
 
7403 This marriage entry appears to be a second marriage for John, although I can not be certain of this. However, I have not yet found another John Briggs in East Greenwich at this time. So, this is based on an assumption, subject to further research. Family: John Briggs, I / Susanna Spencer (F02775)
 
7404 This marriage is in the vital records at both Fall River and New Bedford, MA. It identifies William as son of Joseph & Mary W., and Martha as daughter of Charles & Eliza Waterhouse.

This was Martha's second marriage. 
Family: William S. Remington / Martha A. Waterhouse (F07134)
 
7405 This marriage is listed in "New England Marriages Prior to 1700" ( by Clarence Almon Torrey, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, 1985), which gives Elizabeth's year of death as 1657, and the years of births of their oldest known children as 1629/1630. Family: Lieut. John REMINGTON, I / Elizabeth Unknown (F01078)
 
7406 This marriage is listed in "New England Marriages Prior to 1700" ( by Clarence Almon Torrey, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, 1985), which gives the year of the birth of their first child as 1650, and locations of record as Rowley/Haverhill/Andover. Family: Lieut. John REMINGTON, II / Abigail ACIE (F01077)
 
7407 This marriage is listed in Arnold's VRs, Providence Churches, West Side, p. 217. Joseph is identified as "of Worcester, MA," and Alcy is "of Cumberland." Family: Joseph Remington / Alcy Almena Wilkinson (F02001)
 
7408 This marriage is listed in Seekonk/East Providence VRs; Gordon L. Remington says it was in Rehoboth. (I need to research and verify this)

At the time of their marriage, Mary Remington was "of Barrington" and David Saben was "of Rehoboth." 
Family: David Sabin / Mary Hunt (F03956)
 
7409 This marriage is not in the RI Marriage Index, so possibly they were married in another state. Family: Horatio Arnold Remington / Martha A. Unknown (F04666)
 
7410 This marriage is noted in "New England Marriages Prior to 1700" by Clarence Almon Torrey. However, the entry does not indicate who Thomas's parents are.

Their marriage bond dated 4 Mar 1687 is in Supreme Court Record No. 13011 (source: "A Remington Family History" by Lois Remington Smith, p. 1). 
Family: Thomas Remington / Remember Stowell (F02764)
 
7411 This marriage or marriage intention is listed in Elder James Wilson's Marriages, but the newspaper report says the minister was Rev. Mr. Shurtleff. There is also a discrepancy in the dates, as "Family Notes" by James N. Arnold has the date as 15 September, rather than 4 September.

The marriage intention was published on 20 & 27 Aug 1826 and also on 3 Sep 1826. At that time Edward was of Providence and Mary was of Pawtuxet.

A descendant, Martha Adams (Remington) (Davies) Bower, has the marriage date as 4 Sep 1826.

The cemetery information at usgwenwebarchives.net has the marriage date as 4 Sep 1826. 
Family: Captain, Colonel Edward Remington / Mary Arnold Smith (F04182)
 
7412 This marriage record is confusing because the marriage intention says John Nottage. Also, there seems to be no distinction between Josias and his father. The marriage to Mary could have been a fourth marriage for Josias Sr. Nottage, Josias (I23625)
 
7413 This marriage to Phebe Case is probably a second marriage for Samuel, since his son Rufus was born c 1773 (RI Cemetery Database). Samuel's will dated 8 June 1813 WG, proved 27 Sep 1813, mentions his wife Phebe; sons Rufus, Amon, Jonathan, James, & Daniel: daughters Ruth Whitman, Ase Mires, Martha Potter, Sarah Kinyon, & Tabitha Case.

I have very roughly estimated the birth years of Samuel's children mentioned in his will, specifically those by his first wife. 
Hopkins, Samuel Jr. (I14974)
 
7414 This marriage was her first, and his third. Family: Gardner Hambly / Mary E. Lake (F01852)
 
7415 This Mary is most likely either Mary Hiames/Hyams or Mary Stafford. Both of these Marys became Mrs. Whitford. Himes, Mary (I01411)
 
7416 This may be Forbes Manchester's voyage logbook:
Cicero (Ship), logbook November 21, 1854 - March 22, 1856, Whaling vessel, out of New Bedford, Massachusetts, mastered by Forbes W. Manchester, on voyage from July 7, 1853 – April 14, 1856
 
Manchester, Forbes William (I17185)
 
7417 This may be her birth record at Newport:
ROGERS, ----, dau. of Joseph and Mary, --- 15, 1710. 
Rogers, Daughter (I24452)
 
7418 This may be her birth record at Newport:
ROGERS, ----, dau. of Joseph and Mary, --- 15, 1710. 
Rogers, Elizabeth (I24451)
 
7419 This may be her death announcement: Arnold, Frances E., wid. of Samuel G., 79 yrs., July 31, 1865 11: 165. Rogers, Frances (I27197)
 
7420 This may be her gravestone:
PLANTE, Mariange d Apr 1892, WW014 
Unknown, Marianne (I21389)
 
7421 This may be her obit: RANDALL Betsey, daughter of the late Jeremiah. Gazette of July 15, 1786 Randall, Elizabeth (I24092)
 
7422 This may be his gravestone indexed in the RI Cemetery Database:
PLANTE, Felix WW014 (St. Joseph's Cemetery) 
Plante, Felix (I21388)
 
7423 This may be his information from the SSDI:
Richard Remington
Last Residence: 92024 Encinitas, San Diego, California
Born: 19 Jan 1925
Died: Sep 1977
State (Year) SSN issued: Ohio (Before 1951) 
Remington, Richard (I20606)
 
7424 This may be the Ezekiel, Jr. who married Ruth Matteson, of Joseph, on 20 Feb 1783 by Isaac Johnson, Justice. I have assumed that these dates from the RI Cemetery Database belong to this Ezekiel. The membership list of Maple Root Baptist Church has the names Ezekiel Johnson, Mercy Johnson, and Philip Johnson for 6 Aug 1814. This may be our Ezekiel, his son Philip, and his daughter, or possibly second wife. JOHNSON, Ezekiel Jr. (I02253)
 
7425 This may be the Job who married Jemima Sherman and Sarah Kingsley.

He continued the bonesetting tradtion of his father and grandfather:

Sweet, Job (I25902)
 
7426 This may be the Jonathan Nichols who married Hannah Whitford (daughter of Thomas & Alice) on 2 Dec 1773 at West Greenwich, RI. Nichols, Jonathan III (I02360)
 
7427 This may be this Elmer Remington:
Elmer Remington b 21 May 1897 d Mar 1982 Portland, Multnomah, Oregon

In the 1920 Federal Census, there is another Elmer Remington of about the same age, living in Iowa with his aunt & uncle; however, these two Elmer Remingtons cannot be the same person, unless he had gone to visit his mother's relatives and is listed twice in the census. The age is about right for this Elmer but the birthplace is different. 
Remington, Elmer Burton (I21763)
 
7428 This may be this individual:
Edward P. Remington
Last Residence: 07960 Morristown, Morris, New Jersey, United States of America
Born: 20 Apr 1928
Died: Jun 1995
State (Year) SSN issued: Rhode Island (Before 1951 ) 
Remington, Edward P. (I14826)
 
7429 This may pertain to this George: "Remington, George R., credited to, Wallingford, VT, age 19, enlisted 8/27/62, mustered in 10/21/62, Pvt, Co. B, 14th Vermont Volunteer infantry, died of disease 7/19/63." Remington, George (I13385)
 
7430 This may reference his death record: Elsbree, Joseph H., Fall River 1888: Vol. 391 p. 101 (Death). Elsbree, Joseph H. (I18718)
 
7431 This name is unclear in the 1850 Tiverton Census, where it looks like "Kathy." However, according to the book "Representative Men and Old Families of Rhode Island," it is Sally T. Hambly, Sally T. (I03196)
 
7432 This name is unclear on the 1850 Tiverton Census. Hambly, Fanny M. (I03200)
 
7433 This needs more research to confirm. According to a statement by Anthony Remington in 1820, he had a son named Lyman II. Perhaps the first Lyman died young and another son was later named Lyman. Remington, Lyman (I06508)
 
7434 This particular John Manchester is listed with this family group by Alden & Rita Manchester, but I have not been able to confirm this. John is not listed with the other siblings in the vital records. The Manchester genealogy notes that he married Elizabeth Britton, had 14 children, and died in 1859. Manchester, John (I18858)
 
7435 This particular John Manchester was a Revolutionary War Pensioner. On 29 August 1832, John Manchester of Tolland, Hampden Co., MA, in a sworn statement said he was aged 75, and was born at Tiverton, RI, 23 March 1751. He first enlisted in June 1778 at Tiverton. By his statement, he was in actual service for a total of fourteen months. He moved to Tolland, MA, in 1779. Manchester, John (I17725)
 
7436 This particular Joseph Remington married Elizabeth and lived his whole life at Scituate, RI. Therefore, he is not the one who married Innocent and later moved to Tiverton, RI, as shown in many genealogies.

The following information came from a Remington descendant, Barbara Chase:

On 1 Oct 1765 Joseph Remington sold land parcel 4A in SE part of Scituate where grantees planned to erect a furnace (Stephen Hopkins, Israel Wilkinson, Caleb Arnold, Nicholas Brown, Joseph Brown, Moses Brown, Hob Hawkins). His wife Elizabeth Remington released rights to the land. (Sc Land Ev Bk 5 pp 532-533)

On 25 Jan 1771 (Cr Deed Bk 2 p 186) Joseph Remington of Scituate sold land in Cranston to Thomas Potter of Cranston; mother Margaret Remington released rights.

On 2 Sep 1790, Thomas Arnold of Providence sued Joseph Remington of Scituate; levied on homestead farm of Joseph Remington near Furnace Hope, next to land of Joseph Remington Jr. -- evidently meaning his son (Sc Land Ev Bk 8 p 425).

Date of death - Scituate, RI Probate Records; Vol. 4; p. 20 - Minutes of the Probate Court - 25 Oct 1800 - "Joseph Remington of Scituate, yeoman, departed this life on the 6th Day of July last past and died intestate" . . . Court appointed Joseph Remington Esq, s/o deceased, administrator of sd estate.

I have made an assumption that his wife was Elizabeth Collins, named as Elizabeth Remington in her father will of 1757. 
Remington, Joseph II (I19542)
 
7437 This Phebe is the granddaughter of John & Phebe (Havens) Wightman, as mentioned in Phebe Wightman's will of 17 May 1783. It is unclear who her parents were. Unknown, Phebe (I01878)
 
7438 This posting from the Accomack Co., VA message board at Rootsweb mau pertain to this William P. Berry: "I am looking for information on William Perry Berry, who, according to his son, William Aldephus Berry, was born on December 16, 1838 in Virginia and died August 26, 1870 at Detroit MI. I found a reference to a William P Berry born in 1837 to Charles and Margaret Berry at Accomack and am trying to determine if this is the same William P Berry." by Pete Brainerd, 3 Feb 2004, pwmary@comcast.net

This family needs more research. 
Berry, William P. (I22501)
 
7439 This second spouse is mentioned in "The History of East Greenwich, Rhode Island, 1677-1960, With Related Genealogy" by Martha R. McPartland, p. 264; and in "Records of the Bailey Family" by Hannah C. (Bailey) Hopkins. According to one family historian, Abigail Williams was of "Voluntown, CT." Williams, Abigail (I04242)
 
7440 This surname is often written as Matteson or Matheson. Mathewson, Wanton (I07841)
 
7441 This Tom was Philip's great-great-grandfather. His younger son was Thomas Morton, father of T. Morton, Jr., who is the Grandpa Curry we know. The following is from his granddaughter Louise's synopsis of family information:
As a lad of 8, Tom went to work in a mill, and was heard to remark that he wished they were not so poor and that he didn't have to work. In later years, around 1900, Tom started writing a diary of reminiscences. Among other tales, he told of his youthful adventures with a friend, Jim. Tom and Jim would float homemade boats in the river, swim in the swimming hole, catch turtles, explore a small island nearby, and play baseball together. Tom spent hours under a shady tree, reading stories such as Last of the Mohicans, and Scottish Chiefs.
He married Annie Robins Ryan and had three children: Louise Robins, Edward Thomas, and Thomas Morton. They also adopted an orphan girl, Edna, who was a big sister to all of the others, and helped Annie with the household chores. A journal entry for December 1914 expresses Tom's happiness and love for his family, and thankfulness to God for his blessings.
He was short -- 5'3" -- but very strong. For a while he worked in a grocery store in Orange, NJ, and it is said he could carry a barrel of flour all by himself. He taught his sons to be strong, too, by training them to box and fight, along with exercising regularly and using hand grippers. Tom was involved in community activities, and was very patriotic. Pictures of Washington and Lincoln hung in his upstairs hall.
Tom and Annie lived for many years in Englewood, NJ. He was an avid golfer, and also an amateur poet who wrote many poems to members of his family. They had a summer cottage on Long Island, where his grandchildren would spend summer vacations. "Pop" would take them rowing, and when they were out in deep water he would tell them stories about sea monsters. Tom was also a music lover, and would play his harmonica or accordian after the children were put to bed.
Both Annie and Tom had a great faith in God, but he was superstitious, too, as it seemed to him that many of his dreams came true. One day he found a horseshoe and a four-leaf clover, and then business began to improve. He had a little pin made for Annie, a horshoe and clover design lined with tiny pearls.
On April 11, 1928, Tom died in a New York City hospital after an operation for cancer. His obituary eulogizes his community service, including his support for youth sporting activities, his role as founder and administrator of the local American Legion post, charter membership in the volunteer fire department, leadership in putting the trolley extension through Highwood, membership in the Elks Lodge and Phelps Manor Golf Club, and -- despite his age -- enlistment in the Home Guard during World War I. He spent forty-five years with Thomas E. Curry & Co., a New York City wool dealer. But no doubt his greatest influence was within his own family, and on his grandchildren for generations to come. 
Curry, Thomas Edward (I01107)
 
7442 This twin to Olive died at 9 days old, according to the West Greenwich town records. Whitford, Twin Daughter (I21134)

7445 This was a second marriage for both Lydia A. (Lake) Manchester & Jeremiah Manchester.

MANCHESTER Jeremiah, aged 42 years, farmer, son of Lydia, his 2d marriage, and Lydia A. Manchester, aged 23 years, her 2d marriage, daughter of Silas and Lydia Lake, at Tiverton, Oct. 23, 1852. (Tiverton Marriages 1850-1900 p 4)

7446 This was a second marriage for both the groom and the bride. Family: William W. Harps / Alice Grinnell Peirce (F05864)
 
7447 This was a second marriage for both. He was 67, she was 53. Nathaniel's parents are identified as Perry & Annie; Mary's parents are William & Cynthia. Family: Nathaniel D. Manchester / Mary M. Downing (F09856)
 
7448 This was a second marriage for George, and the first for Betsey. (source: Coventry Marriages, 1850 - 1900, p. 42, Town Hall) Family: George Waterman Remington / Elizabeth "Betsey" A. Malbone (F05917)
 
7449 This was a second marriage for Ray, who had been divorced. Family: Ray E. Remington / Cora M. Bull (F09410)
 
7450 This was a third marriage for Sally (Vose) Howe, and a second marriage for Tubal.
