Notes - (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.)
Benedict was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. According to BSR, he lived in Newport and Smithfield, RI.
His place of birth, Jamestown, was obtained from the death record of his son John. His marriage record in 1780 identifies him as being of Smithfield, and son of John & Mary, of Jamestown.
In the Federal Census of 1800, "Benedic Remmington" is listed in the 2nd Parish at Mendon, Worcester Co., MA.
RI American of 21 Dec 1819, death notice: "Remington, Benedict, at Pawtuxet, in 64th yr." (Did he die at Mendon, MA, or Pawtuxet, RI? I think he probably died in Mendon, MA, and that the newspaper was in error -- needs more research to confirm.)
The Battey Family Papers give his date of death as 9 Dec 1819.
