| 7501 | Thomas Remington of Tiverton was appointed to serve on the grand jury, along with Isaac Negus, for the November term 1797, to attend the Court of Common Pleas. (Tiverton Probate Records No 5 p 56) Thomas served in the military during the Revolutionary War. He first enlisted at Tiverton in January 1777, and when he was discharged in March 1778, re-enlisted right away, and was subsequently discharged about a year later. During much of that time his company was encamped at Bristol and at Ft. Barton in Tiverton. He was in the action during the Battle of RI under General Sullivan. In his deposition as part of the pension application in 1832, he said he had been born in South Kingstown, but that his family had moved to Tiverton when he was very young. After the war he returned to Tiverton, where he is most likely the other adult male in his father's household in 1790, which includes 2 free white males 16+, and one free white female -- probably his mother or a sister. In 1832 he mentions that he is a neighbor of Job and Charles Durfee, Esquires. Thomas Remington is in the 1830 RI Census, residing in Tiverton (Newport County, p. 071). He is also there in 1840, and is listed as a Revolutionary War Pensioner, at age 79 1/2. However, he seems to be living alone at that time. Perhaps Alice is in ill health, and has gone to live with one of her children? She will pass away in 1848 at Dartmouth; their son Joseph and family are probably there in 1840, but appear in New Bedford by 1850. I have not yet found a date of death for Thomas, but apparently he died before Alice because she is described as his widow; also, since his last pension payment was in March 1842, he probably died in Feb or March of that year. "Thomas Remington residing in Tiverton collected a pension until March 2, 1842." (source for quote: George Sermuksnis, Archives Technician at Waltham National Archives). On 7 September 1832, two friends/neighbors and fellow-Revolutionary-soldiers testified on his behalf; they were William Cook, and John Manchester, our ancestor. Thomas Remington is on the list of persons who united with the Amicable Congregational Society, associated with the Amicable Congregational Church, Tiverton, RI. (ref: "The History of Amicable Congregational Church 1746 - 1946" p.83) He probably was buried from this church, but there were no death records kept for the church at this time. The location of his grave is unknown. I suspect he may be buried with his parents and their Brayton relatives, in one of the unknown gravesites in the family plot at Pleasant View Cemetery, Stone Church Rd., Tiverton, RI (formerly buried on a family farm and relocated to this cemetery). Revolutionary War Pension file # S21938 He is listed on the Pension Roll of 1835: Remington, Thomas, private of Artillery, Newport county, all $90, rec $270, R.I. Cont. Line, pl July 9, 1833, com March 4, 1831, age 74 In the 1840 Federal Census, Thomas is listed in Tiverton, RI, as a Revolutionary War Veteran/Pensioner age 79 and 1/2. The list of Thomas and Alice's children came to me from a distant cousin in Michigan. This agreed with names I already had found in the New Bedford whaling crew lists and in marriage, census, and death records in RI and MA. On 2 March 1791 Thomas Remington mariner of Tiverton received 250 in Spanish milled dollars from Thomas Barker of Tiverton, for the 13th 50-acre lot in the Pocasset Purchase, bounded easterly and westerly on highway, north by the 12th lot and south by the 14th lot. Witnessed by Joseph Barker and Abraham Barker. (Tiverton Deed Book 4) See this note from cousin Russ Shaw (I am not sure if it pertains to this particular Thomas Remington, our ancestor, but it probably does): "Last time I was at the RIHS archives I came across an interesting document that I think you may want to check on. It involves Thomas Remington and his son John. I found them both as crew members on the brig Eliza out of Bristol, bound for Trinidad de Cuba, 5 Jan 1818. Reference: MS 28,sg 2, Box 7 (1819-1820), Bristol Custom House records, RIHS." | REMINGTON, Thomas (I04033)
|
| 7502 | Thomas Remington, Jr., was baptized and became a member of the Amicable Church in Tiverton, RI, on 10 September 1820. (ref: see "The History of Amicable Congregational Church 1746 - 1946" p. 9s) Thomas Remington, b. Tiverton, RI, went on at least one whaling voyage, according to seamen's insurance records at New Bedford Public Library. He may have been the ship's carpenter. On 7 Feb 1849 he was said to be age 42, with dark skin, light hair, and blue eyes, at a height of 5'6". The birth years of Thomas & Rosetta's children have been estimated from their ages in the 1850 Federal Census, New Bedford, MA, p. 222. Three of the children -- Sarah, Thomas, & Rosetta -- were born in New York State, so apparently the family moved westward around 1832 but later came back to Massachusetts, around 1838/39. Perhaps they were living near brother William in New York State, at Kingston, Ulster County or Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County. These counties are next to each other in the southeastern part of the state. In the 1860 census, Rosetta, recently widowed, is living at New Bedford with some of the children. Sadly, Thomas died in April of that year, by drowning. His death record identifies his parents as Thomas & Alice, and his birthplace as Tiverton, RI. The death record at New Bedford reads as follows: 1860 15 Apr, Thomas Remington age 54 y 10 m Drowned, Married, Carpenter, b Tiverton, parents Thomas & Alice. Thomas & Rosetta are buried in Rural Cemetery, New Bedford; their gravestones have been photographed. 1805 REMINGTON Thomas, May 28, 1805, [on stone beside that of Rosetta] G.R.1. more Birth New Bedford The following excerpt may well pertain to this particular Thomas, who was indeed a carpenter: "That the construction industry, which has led apprenticeship activities in this country in recent years, used the formalized indenture more than a century ago is shown by the indenture of a 'house carpenter' in 1832. This indenture bound a 16-year-old apprentice in New Bedford, Massachusetts, to his master until 1837 -- exactly 100 years before the enactment of the National Apprenticeship Law (Public Law 308, 75th Congress). The indenture states that John Slocum 'doth by these Presents bind Lyman Slocum, his son, a minor . . . to Thomas Remington . . . to learn the art, trade, or mystery of a House-Carpenter.' The master promised 'to teach and instruct, or cause the said Apprentice to be instructed, in the art, trade or calling of a House-Carpenter . . . (if said Apprentice be capable to learn.).' " (Source: http://www.lni.wa.gov/TradesLicensing/Apprenticeship/About/History/default .asp) | Remington, Thomas (I05729)

|
| 7504 | Thomas settled in the area around Neutaconkanet Hill, now in Johnston, RI. He was a farmer, several times was a deputy from Providence, and served as an Assistant to the Governor of RI during King Philip's War. Thomas's will was dated 5 June 1676, proved 23 April 1677. It mentions his father-in-law William Harris; 3 sons, but names only Joseph and Mercy; and unnamed unmarried daughters; and brothers Joseph and John. | Borden, Thomas (I23245)
|
| 7505 | Thomas Simson & Elizabeth Remington were married by Giles Slocum. (1700 or 1701?) | Family: Thomas Simpson / Elizabeth Sanford (F02922)
|
| 7506 | Thomas was "of East Greenwich." He may have been the Thomas who was a son of Francis Matteson & Sarah Nichols, who were married in 1700 at East Greenwich. Or, he may have been a son of Thomas Matteson, father of Mercy who was b c 1705, probably at East Greenwich. | MATTESON, Thomas (I11917)
|
| 7507 | Thomas was "of Westfield, MA." | Morley, Thomas (I08218)
|
| 7508 | Thomas was a Major in World War I. His gravestone says: Col., Inf. USAR, WW I. In the 1930 Federal Census, Thomas H. & Edith R. Remington are living at Rochester, Monroe Co., NY. With them are Anne, Jane, & Thomas, Jr. | Remington, Thomas Howard (I08515)
|
| 7509 | Thomas was a shipmaster out of Boston from 1740 to 1746. He went on a voyage and was never heard from again. | Bisco, Thomas (I08438)
|
| 7510 | Thomas was a son of John (or Roger) & Mary Burlingame. His brother John Jr. married Mary Lippitt, his wife's sister. The will of Thomas Burllingame of Cranston, yeoman, dated 6 June 1756 (proved 1758) mentions wife Hannah; sons: Thomas, Moses, Peter, Joshua, and Stephen; dtrs: Margaret Remington, Sarah Briggs, Freelove Gorton, Alice Westcot, and Patience Burllingame; grandsons Samuel Burllingame and John Warner; granddaughter Freelove Arnold. I have roughly estimated the birth years of some of Thomas's children. | Burlingame, Thomas (I02913)
|
| 7511 | Thomas was admitted a freeman of Portsmouth, RI, in 1640. His will, proved in 1680, mentions his wife Martha as his "beloved yokefellow"; son Robert; daughters Hannah Wilcox and Martha Potter (w/o Ichabod). For information on the Hazard family, see "The Hazard Family of Rhode Island, 1635-1894: Being a Genealogy and History" by Caroline Elizabeth Robinson, pub 1896, at Google Books. | Hazard, Thomas (I14256)
|
| 7512 | Thomas was born at 35 Wallis St., Beverly, MA. The official birth record notes the surname Riley but no given name, and for his parents' names, only his mother is listed: Maud M. Riley. The address is not the home address of Maud's family in the 1900 census. (Source: Massachusetts Vital Records, 1841 - 1910, Vol. 496, p. 398) The Social Security Death Index has his date of birth as 11 Mar 1898, but this is three years off. | Hemenway, Thomas Whitney (I23461)
|
| 7513 | Thomas was brought up by his uncle Thomas and his wife Anne (Stafford). | Rice, Thomas (I02824)
|
| 7514 | Thomas was convicted and executed for murdering of his mother. It is not known if he really was guilty. | Cornell, Thomas (I01489)
|
| 7515 | Thomas was of Boston, MA. | Condy, Thomas Hollis Sr. (I11201)
|
| 7516 | Thomas was of Kingstown, RI & Fisher's Island, NY. | Mumford, Thomas Jr. (I04007)
|
| 7517 | Thomas' will in 1813 leaves money to his grandchildren Julia Ann Remmington, Charlotte Remmington, and Caroline Remington, the children of his son William Remmington deceased; also to sons Jairus and Thomas, and daughters Sarah Beal and Rachel Shaw. (source: email from Ann Remington with image of will) Some genealogies show Jonathan b Sep 1761 (md. Martha Sprague) as a son in this family. Also, some genealogies show no Stephen here (see notes for Stephen). | Remington, Thomas (I07159)
|
| 7518 | Thomas's birth at Mendon, MA, was recorded at Northbridge, MA. Thomas & Susan also had a daughter born 5 May 1846 at Northbridge, MA. She would have been between Thomas and Leverett. In the 1850 Federal Census, Thomas & Susan Remington, both age 27, are living at Northbridge, Worcester Co., MA. With them are: Thomas A. 5, Leverett L. 3, Edwin F. 1; and Silas Smith 50, laborer. In the 1860 Federal Census, Thomas Remington 38 RI, a mechanic, & his wife, Susan 38 CT, are still living at Northbridge, Worcester Co., MA. Five children are in the household: Thomas A. 15, Leverett 13, Edwin F. 11, Hattie H. 8, & Charles P. 5. Also in the household is Edwin Carter 18 RI, a spinner. (Thomas was probably not b RI, though.) In the 1870 Federal Census, Thomas is 48 MA, a machinist, and his wife Susan is 48 CT, still living at Northbridge. Their son Charles, 16 MA, a machinist's apprentice, is the only one of the siblings at home with their parents. In the 1880 Federal Census, Thomas M. & Susan, both 58, are still at Northbridge. They are living on Church St., Whitinsville, MA. Thomas is still a machinist. Also with them is Mary C. Remington, 54, "cousin." She is probably Mary Catherine Remington, d/o John & Hannah (Southwick) Remington. | Remington, Thomas Muzzy (I05887)
|
| 7519 | Thomas's first wife was from Valparaiso, very usual in those days because Valparaiso port was an English/American city in Chile; 40% percent of population spoke English. His eldest daughter lived in Valparaiso (Francisca Munday Paredes), maybe with her maternal grand parents. | Paredes, Andrea (I28588)
|
| 7520 | Thomas's first wife was probably Sarah (Unknown). | Coggeshall, Thomas (I09791)
|
| 7521 | Thomas's will mentions his daughter Barbary, w/o John Holden, and grandsons Thomas Rice Holden, Randall Holden, & Siras Holden. | Rice, Thomas (2) Jr. (I06136)
|
| 7522 | Thomas's will mentions his wife Mary Eliza, and siblings Randall 2nd, Bennett L., John, Joseph M. (now living in Brighton, MI), Ann Frances Stafford, Sally L. Everett, & Abby E. Holden. | Holden, Thomas Jr. (I17684)
|
| 7523 | Thomas's will mentions his wife, Sarah -- but from the wording in the will, she is not his first wife. | Holden, Captain, Esquire Thomas (I17683)
|
| 7524 | Thomas's will was dated 20 June 1773, and proved 8 Dec 1777 at NK. The will mentions wife Patience, d/o Daniel Green; and three children -- John, Lydia, and Samuel. Gravestone: "In memory of Thomas Allen.junr. Esquire who died Sept. 26. 1777 in the 61 year of his Age." | Allen, Thomas Jr. (I25628)
|
| 7525 | Thomas's will, dated 8 July 1829 and proved 25 Dec 1830, mentions brothers Sylvester, Elisha, & Samuel Sweet; sisters Lydia Johnson, Amy Vaughn, Waity Whitman, Mary Tillinghast, and Susannah Slaid; also refers to nieces and nephews. | Sweet, Thomas (I25877)
|
| 7526 | Thomas, Rebecca, and several of their children arrived on the ship Increase, 17 April 1635. Son Abraham arrived at a later time. Information on this family line is found in "Genealogies of the Stranahan, Josselyn, Fitch and Dow Families of America," pp. 31 ff (see Google Books). | Josselyn, Thomas (I26688)
|
| 7527 | Thompson Remington served in the Civil War. In the 1880 Federal Census, he & Elizabeth are living at Masena Twp., Cass Co., Iowa, with their two sons, and an aunt named Electa Prindle, age 71. In 1910 Thompson & Elizabeth J. Remington are living in Salem, Marion Co., OR; he is 69 and she is 66. They have been married 43 years. In 1920 Thompson & Elizabeth are ages 79 & 76, and living on Trade Street in Salem, Marion Co., Oregon. Additional info from Patricia G. Coon: "Electa Fisher 1826 - 1891 was married to Aaron Conger 1812-1843 and they had three children: William Sarah and John Conger. Aaron died in 1843 and Electa re-married Daniel Prindle. They had three children: Fisher, Amos and Araminta Prindle." My note: Electa could be a sister of Thompson's mother, Elizabeth "Betsey" Fisher. This needs more research to confirm. | Remington, Thompson (I09060)
|
| 7528 | Three grandsons -- Nicholas Carr, Clarke, & George -- are mentioned in the will of Immanuel Northup; the context suggests at least one or more may be sons of Henry. I am putting George in this family group pending further research. However, he may be a son of one of Henry's brothers. This Henry Northup may be the one who married Mary Gardiner, b.c.1752, d/o Capt. John Holmes Gardiner, of Newport. She died the 46-year-old widow of Henry Northup of North Kingstown, RI, on 20 June 1798 at Hoosick, NY; recorded at Newport, RI. | Northup, Henry (3) (I13931)
|
| 7529 | Three of George's & Sarah's children -- Edward, Phebe, & Louisa -- were mentioned by name in the 1850 will of George's sister, Abby (Hull) Carr. Possibly Sarah had died before then. | Hull, George (I04826)
|

|
| 7533 | TiM 1-80 has her year of birth as 1859, but the 1860 census has her age as two months. Her marriage record identifies her mother's maiden name as Manchester. | Manchester, Patience Ann (I00917)
|
| 7534 | Timothy was of Westport, MA; his parents are said to be of Yarmouth, MA. In the 1850 Federal Census, Timothy Akin is age 60, living at Westport, MA, with his second wife, Sarah, age 55. Also with them are son Daniel and his wife Sarah, ages 28 & 32; the other four children -- Benjamin R. 24, Phebe B. 22, George C. 17, & Edward 13; also Sarah's (presumed) brother Caleb Russell, age 66; and Rebecca Allen, 73, most likely young Sarah's mother. Also there is Eliza Smith, age 14. Thank you to Susan Wyllie for answering my query on Genforum and helping me to research this family. According to Robert Larry Akin's family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect, Timothy was b 2 Apr 1790 at Dartmouth, Bristol Co., MA, and d 11 Mar 1873 at Westport, Bristol Co., MA. | Akin, Timothy (I18446)
|
| 7535 | Tinney married first to widower Jacob Bishop as his second wife. She was named as Tenny B. Hickman of John. Jacob's first wife was Polly. She married secondly to widower William L. Mears, orphaned son of Sarah "Sally" Mears. Tinney Mears is identified as wife in her husband's will of 12 Jul 1834, and is named as daughter in her father's will of of 14 June 1843. Her father's Revolutionary War Pension File also names her as daughter and an heir. (source for above information: M.K. & Barry Miles in Miles Files Version 7, Eastern Shore Public Library website) In the 1850 and 1860 Federal Censuses, Tinny/Tinney Mears is residing at Maccomack, Accomack Co., VA. Her age is given as 62 and 74, respectively. In 1860 she is near relatives and extended family, including brother Charles Berry. Tinney is an Irish surname. | Berry, Tinney (I22480)
|
| 7536 | Tiverton has his date of birth as 1745, with no month and day, so that may have been an estimate many years after the fact. "The Manchester Family of Rhode Island" by Alden & Rita Manchester has this particular John Manchester marrying Sarah Bailey. "Little Compton Families" by Benjamin F. Wilbour agrees with this but also shows John as marrying second to Mary Brayton. However, this is incorrect. The Tiverton VRs list only four children born to this couple: George, Cornelius, William Cook, and Loring. In addition, Ruth, Sarah, & John are included by Alden & Rita Manchester in their Manchester genealogy. I have listed Ruth and John pending further research to confirm -- but please note that as yet I have not personally found the evidence for these two. In addition to the four children found in the Tiverton VRs, Benjamin F. Wilbour's book also lists Ruth, Betsey, and Benjamin, but no John. However, Benjamin is not their son because he belongs to John Manchester and Mary Brayton. Betsey's marriage record identifies her only as daughter of John of Little Compton -- but which John? I have included her in this family group (pending further research to confirm), as Wilbour's book says this John resided in LC. Another possible second wife for this John Manchester might be Rhoda Manchester. However, she also had a son named John, which makes it unlikely that she would have been the second wife if indeed there was a son John from the first marriage who lived to adulthood. Additional research is needed to resolve these issues. Please note that the family lines are subject to change for the various John Manchesters. Tiverton Deed Book has John Manchester (and wife Sarah) of Little Compton, grandson of John Manchester, deceased, sold land in Tiverton to Godfrey Manchester of Tiverton on 10 Dec 1772. | Manchester, John (I01775)
