  • Notes 
    • Her gravestone inscription reads: "Mrs. Mary Remmington died Sept. 2, 1807 in the 64th, year of her age, consort of Mr. David Remmington. Parent of goodness and unblemished life, here lies the tenderest mother, fondest wife, whose easy manners, free from pride of art, with sweet simplicity engaged the heart, whose lovely person and whose lively mind, each female grace with every virtue joined."

      Mary is a descendant of Pilgrims Francis Cooke & Richard Warren.
