  • Notes 
    • William & Ann had 12 children, including a set of twins. They migrated to Onieda Co., NY, sometime around 1800.

      I would like to find out where the name Remington (for one of their sons) comes from.

      The birth record for Remington Northup says he was a son of Nicholas & Ann (Slocum) Northup. Was this a clerk's error? I have a marriage for another Ann Slocum to Nicholas, William's older brother; but supposedly she died defore Remington would have been born. This puzzling entry needs more research.

      William was a Drum Major in the RI troops in the Revolutionary War. His gravestone is inscribed "A hero of the Revolution."

      There is a very interesting account of this family and some allied families in both RI & NY, titled "Biography of Henry Knowles Greene, Town of New Haven, NY" [http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyoswego/biographies/hgreene.html].
