  Notes	This marriage or marriage intention is listed in Elder James Wilson's Marriages, but the newspaper report says the minister was Rev. Mr. Shurtleff. There is also a discrepancy in the dates, as "Family Notes" by James N. Arnold has the date as 15 September, rather than 4 September. The marriage intention was published on 20 & 27 Aug 1826 and also on 3 Sep 1826. At that time Edward was of Providence and Mary was of Pawtuxet. A descendant, Martha Adams (Remington) (Davies) Bower, has the marriage date as 4 Sep 1826. The cemetery information at usgwenwebarchives.net has the marriage date as 4 Sep 1826.

• Notes

  Edward was likely named after both his father and his uncle, Edward Seixas, who married his maternal aunt, Huldah Sheldon Smith. Edward, born c.1841, appears to be in Brooks, GA, in the 1860 Federal Census. There he is listed E. S. Remington, age 19, b. GA, a merchant. The age agrees with this Edward. If it is indeed he, then his middle initial was S, and he was following in the professional footsteps of his (assumed) father. He may also be this individual (info from GA Genweb site): "Remington, Edward S. -- Enlisted as a private in Company B, 8t. Regiment Georgia Infantry May 21, 1861. Transferred to Company A, 29th Regiment Georgia Infantry September 20, 1862. Becoming unfit for duty he was detailed sub-agent for collection of wool at Thomasville, Georgia, May 1, 1864. Paroled, Thomasville, Georgia, May 10, 1865." In the 1870 Federal Census, Edward & Jane, both age 29, are living at Thomasville, Ga. Also with them is Nannie Livingston, age 9, two members of the Davis family, and the Butler family. I think Nannie may be Jane's child from a previous marriage (?).
