  • Notes 
    • Richard was probably named after his great uncle, Richard Thornton, husband of Abby Rhodes.

      In the 1850 US Census at Cranston, RI, Richard T. Remington is age 27, a jeweller; with him are Sophia Remington, age 26; and their children Isabella 4, John R. 2, and Nicholas J. 1 month.

      Also in the household are Sally Greene, age 85; Nicholas Johnson, 42, a mariner, and his wife Sally R. Johnson, age 30; David Snow, age 30, a shoemaker; and Sarah M. Olden, age 10. (See notes for Sally's brother Richard T. Remington.)

      In 1860 the family is at Providence Ward 4: Richard T. Remington 37, Sophia 36, Isabella 14, John R. 13, Nicholas J. 10, Sarah J. 8, and Richard W. 2.

      At Scituate Town Hall, in the book "1810-1882 Births, Deaths, & Marriages, Etc." there is an entry for the marriage between Mr. Richard T. Remington and Mrs. Lucinda M. Haynes, 12 Jan 1868, by W. H. Bowen, Clergyman." This is Richard's second marriage; he was about 45 at the time. Lucinda was probably a widow, and Haynes/Haines was her married name.

      In 1870, Richard & Lucinda are living at Scituate, RI. They are ages 48 & 37. Sons John R., 22, & Nicholas J., 20, are with them. Also in the household are Anna, 16, & Celia L., 14, both surname Haines -- probably Lucinda's daughters.

      Richard T. Remington was in the Civil War, a Private in the RI 1st Light Artillery.
