  • Notes 
    • Molly & John's children were first cousins to Maplet, our ancestor.

      Mary Tillinghast, d/o Samuel, and her marriage and family are discussed in "The Tillinghasts in America" by Wayne G. Tillinghast, RI Genealogical Society 2006, p. 528 & 529.

      In John's sworn testimony in his pension file on 28 June 1820, he says that his wife Mary, aged 62, has been lame for 30 years.

      According to "Isaac Willey of New London, Conn., and his descendants," by Henry Willey, p. 81, Mary Remington died at age 77. This agrees exactly with her birth year as 1763.

      From "Berkshire Co., Mass., Probate Index, 1761 to 1900" page 243: Mary Remington, Adams, Adm., July 15 1840, #6176.
