  • Notes 
    • This particular Joseph Remington married Elizabeth and lived his whole life at Scituate, RI. Therefore, he is not the one who married Innocent and later moved to Tiverton, RI, as shown in many genealogies.

      The following information came from a Remington descendant, Barbara Chase:

      On 1 Oct 1765 Joseph Remington sold land parcel 4A in SE part of Scituate where grantees planned to erect a furnace (Stephen Hopkins, Israel Wilkinson, Caleb Arnold, Nicholas Brown, Joseph Brown, Moses Brown, Hob Hawkins). His wife Elizabeth Remington released rights to the land. (Sc Land Ev Bk 5 pp 532-533)

      On 25 Jan 1771 (Cr Deed Bk 2 p 186) Joseph Remington of Scituate sold land in Cranston to Thomas Potter of Cranston; mother Margaret Remington released rights.

      On 2 Sep 1790, Thomas Arnold of Providence sued Joseph Remington of Scituate; levied on homestead farm of Joseph Remington near Furnace Hope, next to land of Joseph Remington Jr. -- evidently meaning his son (Sc Land Ev Bk 8 p 425).

      Date of death - Scituate, RI Probate Records; Vol. 4; p. 20 - Minutes of the Probate Court - 25 Oct 1800 - "Joseph Remington of Scituate, yeoman, departed this life on the 6th Day of July last past and died intestate" . . . Court appointed Joseph Remington Esq, s/o deceased, administrator of sd estate.

      I have made an assumption that his wife was Elizabeth Collins, named as Elizabeth Remington in her father will of 1757.
