    • The will of Daniel Grinnell of Tiverton mentions his wife Sarah, sons Anson & David, and daughters Hope Robertson, Alice Remington, Elizabeth Tripp, & Mary Hart; also grandchildren Abel Grinnell, George Grinnell, Rhoda Grinnell Lake, & Sarah Grinnell.

      Alice's death announcement was in The Daily Mercury, New Bedford, on Monday 3 Jan 1848:
      "Died, in Dartmouth, the 1st, Mrs. Alice Remington, the widow of the late Thomas Remington, formerly of Tiverton, RI, aged 72. Funeral this afternoon at 2 o'clock from No. 59 Grinnell Street. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend."

      A similar announcement was in the New Bedford Mercury (not the daily), Friday, 7 Jan 1848:
      "In Dartmouth, the 1st, Mrs. Alice, widow of the late Thomas Remington, formerly of Tiverton, RI, aged 72."

      According to the New Bedford death record, Alice died of consumption at age 70 y 10 m.

      She may have died at the home of her daughter Mary Rounds who lived in Dartmouth.
