Mary Ann Cathcart, b. Abt Mar 1798, Nantucket, MA d. 16 Jun 1869, Northbridge, Worcester Co., MA (Age 71 years)
Marriage
Abt Jun 1818
Mendon, MA
Notes
Boyd Scott Remington's chart has the date of marriage as 4 June 1815. However, if that is correct, Benedict would have been only 15 years old! Perhaps the 8 was misread for a 5.
In 1850, William Remington is age 22, working as a machinist at Northbridge, MA.
Is he the William B. Remington who married Martha E. Thompson in RI on 19 Nov 1863? (She was b c1827, d 10 Aug 1873 RIDI) But see information below, from A. B. Gerard.
The Northbridge, MA, VRs transcribed at NEGS web site have his dob as 3 Sep 1827. However, this seems too close to his sister Elizabeth -- unless one of their dates is incorrect. Or, they may have been twins born three months apart -- a possibility .
From A. B. Gerard on Remington message board at ancestry: "Benedict Remington and Mary Cathcart's son, William Benedict Remington, ended up in Kansas. There are military records of his enlistment from Whitinsville, Northbridge, MA. He served at a few forts in Texas that protected the Overland Mail Route and then upon discharge moved to Kansas in the late 1850s. He died there sometime before 1880. He married a woman named Julia Ann Johnson of Arkansas. They had at least two children, Mary Frances Remington (wife of Alexander Mills) and John Remington."
