  • Notes 
    • Benjamin took over the Remington farm on Cowesett Rd., which had been inherited from his father and forebears.

      On 16 November 1832, at Warwick, RI, Benjamin F. Remington & Jonathan Remington, both yeomen of Warwick, signed a deed which acknowledged receipt of $600 from John B. Arnold, yeoman of Warwick, for "land with dwelling thereon situated in Warwick, in the village of Centerville." Also signing the deed were Mary Ann A. Remington, wife of Jonathan, and Sarah A. Remington, wife of Benjamin.

      Martha A. Benns has transcribed records with Benjamin's date of death as 15 Jan 1877; however, the official death entry at Warwick Town Hall appears to say 15 Jan 1879, which is probably correct since he died at age 72.

      The gravestone has his date of death as 5 Jan 1879. It has the quotation "Charity suffereth long and is kind."
