7551 Tuesday eve last Rev Mr. M'Clelland, Davied REMINGTON of Buffalo to Esther Rutgers LOW of this City. Family F03198
 
7552 Twice Hannah's birthplace is given as Pilsley, Derbyshire, and once as Selston, Nottinghamshire. MOORE, Hannah (I00641)
 
7553 Two different dates are given in two cities for the marriage in Melrose: 29 Nov 1894 and 2 Dec 1894.

In 1900 Thomas and Margaret Powers are living in Malden, MA. There are two children in the household: Bernard C. Remington b June 1890 MA, and Gertrude Powers b Feb 1897 MA.

On 12 Sep 1900, Thomas age 26, Gertrude age 3, and Bernard age 9 arrived in Boston from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.

Again, on 4 Sep 1902 Bernard Remmington age 12 arrived in Boston from Nova Scotia.

On 19 Sep 1917, Bernard Remington age 26 arrived in Boston from Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. On that voyage he was a member of the ship's crew.

7554 Two of Benjamin's children are named after his parents, Job and Ann C. (Federal Census of 1870) Randall, Benjamin P. (I24096)
 
7555 Two other children may belong in this family group, as they are shown as "of David & Hannah":

Lydia, b. 24 Apr 1808 SK; md. Mr. Briggs; d. 12 Oct 1871 SK (SK D 1-30)
Arnold S. (poss. Slocum?), b. 30 Apr 1823 SK; single; d. 27 Sept 1875 SK (SK D 1-86) 
Sherman, David (I04823)
 
7556 Two wills seem to be contradictory. In Susannah Ellery's will of 1828, she mentions her "niece Henrietta L. Ellery Channing, daughter of brother William." Does she mean Hannah Abigail Shaw (Ellery) Channing, mentioned in the will of William b. 1761? He doesn't mention a daughter Henrietta at all.

Possibly the names were misread in transcribing the wills. However, if Hannah and Harriett are the same individual, a daughter of William b.1761, she would hardly have been old enough to marry John Bours, Jr. before he died.

This Henrietta may have been married first to John Bours, and later to a Mr. Channing. What's confusing is that if Susannh really has a niece Henrietta, she is not mentioned in her father's will. The will does mentions another sister, Abigail, as having the surname Channing. (needs more research) 
Ellery, Henrietta L. (I09812)
 
7557 UNDERWOOD Samuel, at South Kingstown, aged 75 years, Patriot of Jan. 30, 1830

I am wondering if Mary Hill was Samuel's second wife because the estimated birth dates of some of the children seem to be before her childbearing years. 
Underwood, Samuel (I27297)
 
7558 Unfortunately her name is not clear in either the 1910 or 1920 censuses. It could be Arielne, Arlecta, Arlaina, or anything like that. Her maiden name is not too clear in 1920, either, although her parents' first names are Edward/Edwin & Jennie.

According to "A Remington Family History" by Lois Remington Smith, p. 71, her name is Arliene Tilley (?McCardell) [sic]. 
Tilley, Arliene (I19959)
 
7559 Unfortunately I don't know Dell's maiden name. Schellici is her married name. Schilleci, Dell Helene (I21665)
 
7560 Unfortunately, this couple was divorced in 1805. The following notes are from "Elder John Gorton and the Six Principle Baptist Church of East Greenwich, RI" by Cherry Fletcher Bamberg, pub. RI Genealogical Society, p. 370:

"Samuel & Almy registered the births of six children at Warwick 1791-1801 . . . 'Amey' Remington petitioned for divorce in Oct. 1805, alleging that her husband 'has left her Bed and has treated her with marked aversion and even contempt' after he became involved in an adulterous affair . . . They agreed that Samuel was to have custody of all but the youngest child . . . John Remington was less than six months old at the time of the divorce . . . 'Amey Remington' was living at Manlius, Onondaga Co., NY, on 18 Jan 1836 when she sold land inherited from Josiah Arnold."

7561 Unsure of his birth date. Needs to be researched. Tripp, James (I01513)
 
7562 Uriah (transcribed as "Josiah") is mentioned as being under 21 in the will of his grandfather John Greene, dated 15 Aug 1754. Matteson, Uriah (I09319)
 
7563 USHER Allen, at sea, 32y Sept. 21, 1796; death, Bristol. USHER, Allen Jr. (I00549)

7566 USHER Rebecca, by Rev. Mr. Clarke, of Providence, June 17, 1801; burial at Bristol. (according to the RI Cemetery Database, this is Rebecca Allen)

USHER Rebecca, widow, 63y., June 15, 1801; death Bristol. 
Bourne, Rebecca ALLEN or (I02280)
 
7567 Valborg lived on Fyn, Denmark. Nicolaisen, Vaalborg (I06775)
 
7568 Valentine's grandfather Edward had been burned at the stake in England for his faith, so Valentine came here for religious freedom, as many RI families did. When he came to America, Valentine initially settled in Providence, where his first child was born in 1653.

The area called Quidnessett was defined in 1659 by agreement with Indian sachem Kachanaquant; its boundaries were the Potomomut River (now Hunt's River) on the north, the Indian road or Pequot Path (now Post Road) on the west, Richard Smith's land (Wickford area) on the south, and Narragansett Bay on the east, totalling about 6x3 miles.

In 1660 the Atherton Company, a group of land speculators from MA Bay Colony and CT, was ordered by the Assembly to open up the Quidnessett tract to purchase by private individuals. Valentine Wightman procured an area of 100-plus acres bordering the bay. This land soon became the property of his brother George, and was handed down intact through 6 generations and known for over 200 years as the Wightman homestead in Quidnessett. George later acquired more land, totalling about 2000 acres.

For a fascinating history of the Wightman family, see: http://www.concentric.net/~Ssbray/wightman.htm 
Wightman, Valentine (I07746)
 
7569 Valentine's will mentions his wife Mercy and his seven brothers. Sweet, Valentine (I01922)
 
7570 Very possibly he is the Henry Remington, age 72 (b c1778 MA), in the 1850 Federal Census, living at Allenstown, Merrimack Co., New Hampshire, with a wife named Elizabeth, age 64. There are two (probable) daughters living with them: Charlotte, 20, and Emeline A., 17, in addition to four other individuals.

Familysearch.org shows Henry's parents as John Remington and Elizabeth Hartshorn. Possibly he was a son of John Jr., b 1755. 
Remington, Henry (I08024)
 
7571 Vesta was a daughter of Alvin A. Hostetler and his wife Sarah Ellen Shutt. Hostetler, Vesta (I20609)
 
7572 Vincy was of Wallingford, CT, at the time of her marriage. Her surname is sometimes written as Moss, although the spelling on both the marriage record and the tombstone is Morse. It has been supposed that she is a descendant of John Moss, one of the original founders of the New Haven Colony. However, is has not been confirmed. Her death certificate names Cairo, NY, as her birthplace. (source: Kay Larson, a descendant; contact info may be available on request)

The 1860 Federal Census has NY as her state of birth. 
Morse, Vincy (I11133)
 
7573 Violate (Vilate) is mentioned in the wills of her mother Patience (Greene) Andrew and grandmother Rebeckah (Cahoone) Greene.

Her own will, dated 15 March 1830 at Coventry, RI, mentions her three sons and four daughters. 
Andrew, Violate (I12172)
 
7574 Virgilious D. Remington appears to be living in McDonough Co., Illinois, in the 1850 Federal Census.

In 1860 V.D. & Caroline Remington are at Hillsboro, Washington Co., OR. They have four children born in various states: Illinois, California, & Oregon.

In 1870, the family is at Abiqua Precinct, Marion Co., Oregon: V.D. & Caroline, and (apparently) their four children. Son Dewitt Remington is also with them.

In 1880 Virgilius D. & Clarinda D. Remington are living in Idaho Territory, with their son James. Also in the household are Elmer & Jerome. They are next door to son Comfort Remington and his wife.

7575 Virginia lived in Atlanta, GA, and passed away in 2003. Family information had been sent to Dorothy White, genealogist for the association. Source (S012837)
 
7576 Virginia may have been Lula's daughter by her first marriage. Nottage, Virginia E. (I28721)

7578 VOSE JEREMIAH 1766c - 11 MAY 1851 CU009

I don't know for sure that Jeremiah is Amariah's brother. This needs more research to confirm. Read notes for Amariah.

He enlisted in the Rev War at Wrentham, MA. He is listed as a soldier in the MA Line, pay due 1 Jan 1784 (4th Regiment, under Col. Michael Jackson).

Jeremiah Force was a Rev War Pensioner (file #7236). His pay began 22 Apr 1818 at Cumberland, RI.

In 1820, Jeremiah was age 55 and wife Sally was 42. The names and ages of his children are listed in his file -- except his one son, age 17, is not named.

Among Revolutionary War veterans who attended a July 4th (1831) celebration at Providence, RI, Jeremiah Force, age 66, from Smithfield, RI, is listed (at Google Books).

In the Federal Census of 1850, Jeremiah & Sally Vose, ages 86 & 72, are at Cumberland, RI. 
Vose, Jeremiah (I26182)
 
7579 VOSE SALLY 1778c - 26 FEB 1863 CU009

In Jeremiah's Rev War pension file, her maiden name looks like Butler -- but it is difficult to read.

Jeremiah's wife Sally stated their date and place of marriage, and it was recorded by the clerk like this: "The magistrate who married them spelt his name Vose, as it sometimes is, and often has been, pronounced -- but his name is spelled Force."

Sally signed her statement as Sally Fose (?) -- unclear.

As of 17 Dec 1855, Sally was a resident of Marlborough, MA.

In the Federal Census of 1860, Sally Vose (spelled Bose) is living at Marlborough with her married daughter Emeline Allen, and Emeline's husband, William C. Allen. 
Butler, Sally (I26183)
 
7580 Waite's brother William married the sister of Waite's husband, Abraham Sheldon (Mary Sheldon). Rhodes, Waite (I07805)
 
7581 Waity & her husband lived at Lorraine, NY, according to Boyd Scott Remington's chart. Remington, Waity (I09607)
 
7582 Waity was daughter of John, of Peleg. Spencer, Waite (I15124)
 
7583 WAKEFIELD SUSAN (VOSE) 1799c - 13 APR 1882 CU009

The only Susan Wakefield I can find in the censuses is at Augusta, Kennebec Co., ME, married to John Wakefield. In 1870 they are at Clinton, Kennebec Co., ME. There's a notation on the census that says she is blind. In 1880 she appears to be a the widow age 86 in Hopkington, MA, living with Clara Wakefield, 12. The age and birthplace (Maine) are correct. It could be that after her husband died, she had to move in with someone else to help her. MA death records show that she died at Worcester, of dementia. It doesn't name her parents, but gives her birthplace as Cumberland. Apparently, whoever was the informant at the time of her death did not know where she was born or the names of her parents. They did remember she had lived in Cumberland.

I have made an assumption that the Susana mentioned as a daughter in Jeremiah's pension file is Susan (Vose) Wakefield whose grave is in the same cemetery. The age and location agree. 
Vose, Susana (I26186)
 
7584 WALKER Peleg, Esq., at Foster, suddenly, May 19, 1822 Walker, Peleg (I26786)
 
7585 Walker's first wife was Mercy Remington, who died at age 24. She is mentioned as deceased in her father's will, dated 21 November 1807. Walker's second wife was Marcy (Unknown). The book "The Armington Family in America" does not mention Walker's son Joseph (mentioned in the will of Enoch Remington), or Walker's second wife, Marcy, who is buried with him. Armington, Captain Walker (I05147)
 
7586 WALLACE D. POWERS

1915 - 2003

Wallace David Powers, 88, of Fountain, CO, died peacefully Thursday, May 15, 2003.

He was born March 31, 1915 in Brownington, VT, the son of the late Philo and Rilla (Hanson) Powers.

He grew up on a dairy farm in Brownington, VT, and often talked about making maple syrup on the family farm all by himself, using a horse and sleigh to transport the sap to the sugar house. His Dad was road commissioner in Brownington for 24 years, and he often spoke about the work horses they had.

Mr. Powers retired from Bulova Watch Company in Providence, RI in 1977. He was a boiler room operator for over 20 years, and often spoke of the Salem and Dexter Street plants.

He is preceded in death by his sisters, Phoebe Hardie and Leona Turcotte.

He leaves three children, Joyce L. (Kirk) House of Bath, NY, David C. Powers of Barrington, RI, and Avis (Ray) Vencill of Fountain, CO; three grandchildren, Joshua House, Eric House and Nathan Thornley.

He enjoyed traveling, music (especially old Lawrence Welk shows), and good conversation. He was a wonderful, hard working father, and will be greatly missed by his loved ones.

No viewing or services are planned. A private ceremony will be held with immediate family members. His remains will be buried in Highland Memorial Park, Johnston, RI. 
Powers, Wallace David (I00074)
 
7587 Walter became Governor of RI, and was one of the original proprietors of the Monmouth Patent, NJ. Clarke, Walter (I02785)
 
7588 Walter died at age 6 of of scrofula (a variety of skin disease; in particular, a form of tuberculosis, affecting the lymph nodes of the neck). Remington, Walter S. (I18359)
 
7589 Walter H. B. Remington was mayor of New Bedford, MA, from 1922 to 1924.

He is related to me four ways: 5th cousin 3x removed; 5th cousin 4x removed; 6th cousin 4x removed; and 7th cousin 3x removed. 
Remington, Walter Holden Browning (I06426)
 
7590 Wanda Harbert [WandaHarbert@charter.net] Source (S013615)
 
7591 Wanda Harbert's genealogy has the date of marriage as 25 Jan 1773. Family F03182
 
7592 Wanton's two wives were sister, daughters of Deacon Philip Gray.

In the 1850 Federal Census, the family is at Tiverton, RI: Wanton Manchester 73 farmer, Almy Manchester 63, Oliver P. Seabury 35 miner (husband of Elizabeth), Harriet O. Manchester 25, Susan A. Manchester 23, Mary J. Manchester 20, George ? Manchester 65, Mumford Lawton 37 laborer, and Elizabeth Seabury 33. Next door are Jared and Nancy Reid; Jared is the Congregational Minister and Nancy is a daughter of Cornelius Seabury. Next to them are Franklin and Emily Seabury and their two young children; Emily is another daughter of Wanton & Almy Manchester; Franklin is a brother to Nancy Reid. 
Manchester, Wanton (I03142)
 
7593 Wardwell Greene and his second wife Mary may have been the Wardwell & Mary Greene who were members of the Maple Root Baptist Church in Coventry, RI, around 1782. Greene, Wardwell (I09263)
 
7594 Warwick Births 1850 - 1882, p. 110.

In the 1900 Federal Census, James & Sarah are living at North Kingstown, RI, with Sarah's mother, Alvira Sweet. Other Sweet relatives are with them and next door.

In the 1910 Federal Census, James D. & Sarah J. Remington, ages 40 and 44, are living in Providence, RI, on Killingly St. In the home is a stepson, William C. Bennett, age 24.

According to his obituary, James D. Remington died at age 60 at the State Infirmary after a long illness. It says he was born in Old Warwick and was a resident of East Greenwich for many years. He resided at Potowomut for a number of years and was employed by Charles E. Sweet delivering ice. The obit identifies his parents as Benjamin F. and Adeline Manchester Remington, and his wife as Sarah J. Remington. His funeral was conducted by Rev. Arthur C. Lambourne of Frenchtown Baptist Church. 
Remington, James DeWolf (I00353)
 
7595 Warwick Births 1850 - 1882, p. 135; East Greenwich Deaths Vol. 5 p. 8. The entry says he died at Wine St., East Greenwich, of pneumonia following influenza. Remington, Joseph Ellery (I00354)
 
7596 Warwick Births 1850 - 1882, p. 151. Remington, Charles Abner (I00355)
 
7597 Warwick Births 1850 - 1882, Vol. 1, p. 20, gives her date of birth as 22 January 1857. It says she was born in Old Warwick, and that her parents were born in Tiverton.

In the Federal Census of 1860, she probably is the Amelia Remington age 13 living at Warwick, RI (Old Warwick Post Office), as a domestic servant in the household of William Warner, age 69. However, Amelia M. Remington age 13 is also listed with her family at Old Warwick in that census.

Information from one family member says she married John T. Buzzell. Other notes say she married Pealy Basset.

In the Federal Census of 1 June 1900, Amelia Buzzell is age 42 and living in Providence with her brother Benjamin and his family. 
Remington, Amelia M. (I00347)
 
7598 Warwick Births 1850 - 1882, Vol. 1, p. 57; the birthplace is given as Warwick Neck.

In the Federal Census of 1 June 1900, Benjamin & Kate are living on Atwood Street in Providence, RI. With them is daughter Addie, 12, and Amelia Buzzell, Ben's sister, age 42.

In the 1920 Federal Census, Benjamin & Catherine Remington, ages 58 & 50, are living at 103 Atwood St., Providence, RI. With them is Earl W., age 4 y 3 mos. His last name is given as Remington, but I believe he is actually Earl W. Shaw, Benjamin's orphaned grandson. Census data shows that Earl's parents were both born in RI.

According to the death record, Benjamin F. Remington died 3 Apr 1924 at 103 Atwood St., Providence, aged 61 years. 
Remington, Benjamin Franklin (I00350)
 
7599 Warwick Vital Records record the marriage of a Mary Remington to William Backer, 28 July 1724. The bride may have been this Mary. Remington, Mary (I02920)
 
7600 Was he a sister of Mercy Matteson, b c 1705? Matteson, Joseph (I01940)
