  • Notes 
    • Theodosia was most likely named after her maternal grandmother, Theodosia Hopkins.

      "Theodocia Remington widow of Daniel Remington, dec" is mentioned in the will of Thomas Holden of Warwick dated 14 Oct 1820.

      Several years after Daniel died, she married Jonathan Nichols, widower of her sister Mary.
