    Notes:

    Note: This couple may be misplaced on the tree -- this is in process of research. Stephen may be a son of John b.1757 in Scituate, RI; some genealogies have him as a son of John b.1770. However, if this is the case, Stephen couldn't have been born in 1780. His wife was probably Rebeckah Watson; they had a son Zeri Watson Remington (see Boyd Scott Remington's chart -- needs more research to confirm).

    Rebeckah married Stephen Remington 1804. Stephen (son of John Remington and Mary Greene) was born Abt 1780, Herkimer or Washington County, NY; died 9 Jul 1849, Pittsburgh, PA; was buried , Allegheny Cemetery, Pittsburgh PA. [Group Sheet]

    Note: the ancestral line of Zeri has not yet been proven -- see accompanying notes for his parents, Stephen & Rebeckah, and grandfather, John.
