  • Notes 
    • (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher, and to other sources as noted herein.)

      In 1860, Louisa Remington, age 22, is living with the family at East Greenwich. Probably Louisa is actually Emily Louise, also known as Emma -- three names for one wife.

      Alonzo G. Remington was a member of the Six-Principal Baptist Church of East Greenwich on 3 June 1858. This is probably the same individual. However, the 1870 Federal Census at Hillsdale, MI, shows an Alonzo Remington, age 31, with wife Emma, 30, and daughter Louisa, 8 -- all born in RI. Could this be this family? Probably. Living with them are three other individuals born in RI: Chauncey Knapp, John Hopkins, & William Bragg. The men are in carpentry and brickmaking.

      Yes, it is very likely the same family. They are back in East Greenwich, RI, in the 1880 census, except that daughter Louisa is now son Louis, age 18, who is bookkeeping in a cotton mill. Alonzo is a house carpenter and Emily is a dress maker.

      In January 1859, the RI General Assembly voted to incorporate The Third General Six Principle Baptist Church of East Greenwich. Specific names listed in this act were: Gilbert Tillinghast, Timothy Andrews, Joseph Tarbox, Alonzo E. Remington, John C. Carr, Rowland Barton, and Horace Tillinghast.
