  • Notes 
    • The Remington chart by Boyd Scott Remington at RIHSL has the following information for this John Remington:
      born 1695 at Warwick, RI, died 8 Jul 1723 at Johnston, RI; freeman 1718; purchased land on Drybrook 1721, retained in family until 1835; married Mariam Sweet; had son Joshua born 1720, died 15 Aug 1787 at Johnston. Mariam (Sweet) Remington later married Ebenezer Greene (b. 8 Feb 1701) on 1 Aug 1724; she married third Edward Capron on 1730.

      The chart also shows the son Joshua marrying Elizabeth King, b. 1730, d. 18 Apr 1824. Supposedly they had 7 or 8 children, including a son Caleb and a daughter Mariam.

      No documentation is provided. This needs more research. However, I am including BSR's information on John's son Joshua because it is the link to Caleb Remington & Roby Warner, whose information I have researched and confirmed. Note, that Joshua is Caleb's father has not been personally verified by me; or, that Mariam's husband is the John Remington in this family group.
