  • Notes 
    • I think this marriage for "Lydia Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas & Elizabeth," belongs in this family group, as it is the only couple of this time period that seems to match with her. I am making that assumption pending further research.

      Lydia is probably the daughter of Betsey, sister of our ancestor Maplet Remington.

      The RI Cemetery Database has her year of death as 1884.
