    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 
    • In the 1850 Federal Census, Susannah G. Wilcox is age 50, living at Jamestown, RI, with the family of John W. & Abby H. Potter and their two young children. I think Abby may be Susannah's daughter (see note below).

      From Jamestown records: Susanna G. Remington daughter of John & Phebe born July 9, 1798.

      Her gravestone identifies her as Susan G. Wilcox, daughter of John & Phebe R. Remington.

      Does this birth record refer to her daughter? "REMINGTON Abby Howland, of Sukey, April 30, 1821." (Jamestown births)

      Baptism: "REMINGTON Abby Howland, bapt. by pouring Oct. 11, 1835" (Communicant, Westerly)

      Also, this entry: "REMINGTON Abby, April 13, 1836" (Confirmation, Westerly)

      "POTTER John W., and Abby H. Remington (also 116); m. by Andrew F. Potter, Warden, Oct. 20 or 26, 1843." (Jamestown marriages)
