Jonathan REMINGTON, b. 9 Sep 1758, Warwick, RI d. 31 May 1808, Lansingburgh, Rensselaer County, NY (Age 49 years)
Mother
Phebe UNKNOWN, b. Abt 1758 d. 8 Jun 1795, Cheshire, MA (Age 37 years)
Marriage
Abt 1780
Notes
It is possible that Jonathan & Phebe were married in RI, or in Cheshire or Adams, MA. The vital records of Cheshire were destroyed in a fire, and there are no early records of Adams, except the Cooke Collection at the Pittsfield Athenaeum.
Charles & Maplet were married by Elder Samuel Littlefield, who pastored the First Baptist Church of Warwick for 36 years. Elder Littlefield was born in 1746, and died 22 Oct 1830, at the age of 84.
Children
1. Julia Ann Tibbetts, b. 20 Jun 1807 d. 3 Feb 1882, Warwick, RI (Age 74 years)
2. Sally Williams TIBBETTS, b. 30 Dec 1808, East Greenwich, Kent Co., RI d. 15 Dec 1899, Coventry, Kent Co., RI (Age 90 years)
Birth record of my ancestor Maplet Remington and her sisters, with their parents' names, Jonathan and Phebe. Edward S. R. Remington was their half-brother, born to Jonathan and Sarah. Julia and Sally are Maplet's two daughters by her first husband. The writing at the top of the page identifies the original owner of this Bible as Samuel Bowering, Sergeant of Marinus Romulus. He came on this ship during the Revolutionary War. Somehow the Bible was acquired by Samuel Comstock and was passed down I suppose through his daughter-in-law Mercy (Angell) (Comstock) Remington to my relatives in Coventry, who eventually gave it to me.
Charles J. Battey is my ancestor Maplet's son by her second marriage. This page records his children, the deaths of Maplet and husband James, and two marriage records of my ancestors: Jeremiah and Sally Whitford, and Charles and Harty Whitford.
Notes
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.
