"Here is the abstract of the decision from the Warwick Town Council meeting of 11 March 1744/5: 'Stephen Remington of Warwick, son of Thomas Remington, late of Warwick, deceased, was judged to lack the discretion to handle his real estate. The council appointed his brother, Thomas Remington, as his guardian. The brother accepted and gave his bond.' " (Source: Cherry Fletcher Bamberg)
Cherry sent me the image of the original document which records Thomas's agreement to manage Stephen's estate; Stephen is described as a laborer of Warwick and non compos mentis. The document is also signed by Stephen Remington and Daniel Remington, presumably two uncles of Thomas and Stephen.
On 6 February 1772 "William and Mary (Remington) Hopkins of West Greenwich deeded to Thomas Remington, Junior, their rights by virtue of the death of 'our late dec'd Brother Stephen Remington.'
