    Notes 
    • The Newport Mercury of 6 Dec 1783 reported the marriage of John Remington, Jr. & Phebe Carr, of James, at Jamestown. Since it seems quite clear that John was a son of Benjamin & Hannah (Martin) Remington, the Jr. probably means younger, indicating that there was an older John Remington living in the area at the time.

      "These are to certify that Mr. John Remington & Miss Phebe Carr both of Jamestown in the State of Rhode Island were Joined together in marriage on the 27th of November 1783 by me Gardiner Thurston Pastor of a Ch of Christ in Newport in sd State."

      James N. Arnold's Vital Record of RI, Vol. VII, has the marriage date as 27 Oct 1783, and the bride's name as Phebe Card.

  • Notes 
    • Peter moved westward and first settled in New Castle, Ohio. "He taught one term of school, and had mathematical ability" (source: Remington manuscript).

      I have discovered what I believe to be his family in the 1850 census, so I am placing them here based on my assumption and data from various censuses which supports this assumption. See notes for Susanna.

      Further research has confirmed that this indeed is Peter's family, based on DAR membership #750866.
