    Notes:

    (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher, and/or to other sources as noted herein.)

    I am not positive that Jonathan belongs in this family group. However, the weight of evidence supports including him here.

    On 16 November 1832, at Warwick, RI, Jonathan Remington & Benjamin F. Remington, both yeomen of Warwick, signed a deed which acknowledged receipt of $600 from John B. Arnold, yeoman of Warwick, for "land with dwelling thereon situated in Warwick, in the village of Centerville." Also signing the deed were Mary Ann A. Remington, wife of Jonathan, and Sarah A. Remington, wife of Benjamin. This document implies that Jonathan & Benjamin were close relatives.

    The Remington family burial plot, near the corner of Cowesett Rd. & Quaker Lane, has four gravestones for children of Jonathan & Mary Ann A. Remington. These are located near the graves of Elizabeth (Earl) Remington and the other three wives of Benjamin Remington, who was the father of Thomas and grandfather of the above-mentioned Benjamin F. Remington. Jonathan certainly must have been in this extended family because four of his children are buried here on the Remington farm.

    Jonathan is a name that appears repeatedly in this family line. For example, our ancestor Jonathan was one of the sons of Thomas & Abigail (Eldredge) Remington. The Benjamin mentioned above, who married four times, is his brother, who also named a son Jonathan. Two of Benjamin's other sons, James & Thomas, brothers to Jonathan, also had sons named Jonathan.

    To complicate things a bit, Benjamin's son Thomas Remington married Betsey Remington, daughter of Jonathan Remington, who is in all likelihood the brother of Jonathan, making Thomas & Betsey first cousins. Betsey may have been raised by her Uncle Ben after her mother died.

    Genealogist Martha Benns lists Jonathan Monroe Remington b. c1825 as a son of Thomas & Elizabeth. However, she includes no documentation, and I have found no birth record for this Jonathan. Rather, I believe their son Jonathan must be the one mentioned in the deed of 16 Nov 1832, who signed along with Benjamin, and their two wives. According to census records, he was born around 1809 or 1810.

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Jonathan & Mary A. A. Remington are living at Smithfield, RI. They have three children: Albert, William, & Edwin A. By 1860 they are in Illinois, where they are in the census at Tiskilwa, Bureau Co., IL. Son Edwin is with them. In 1880 Mary is at Indiantown, Bureau Co., IL, apparently widowed. Edwin is with her.

    In 1870 sons Albert and Edwin are in Iowa. Pat Rosenquist originally found Jonathan & Mary in that census for me: "1870 Indiantown Twp. I find them living with the first: Haskell, Delecta, 67 MA keeps house; John Remington 60 MA, does nothing; Mary Remington 67 NY keeps house."

    Complicating this research of the various Jonathans is the following erroneous death entry at Warwick City Hall: "Jonathan Monroe Remington d. Oct 9, 1885 age 68 son of Thomas & Elizabeth"; however, the RI Death Index has this exact age and date of death for Jonathan M. Remington, son of James & Sally Remington. Which one is authoritative? I believe the Warwick records are incorrect in this case, and that that particular death record belongs to the son of James & Sally. My reason for this conclusion is that Jonathan M.'s age at death puts his birth year at c1817, which agrees with the birth date of Johnathan M. Remington, s/o James & Sally, as found in the family Bible of William R. Remington. Perhaps the city clerk was confused or misinformed about which of the Jonathans had died.

    Two other possibilities that I can see are as follows: this Jonathan, b. c1810, may have been a son of Jonathan & Ardeliza (Rice), born before their marriage in 1811; or, he could have been an illegitimate son of Lydia Remington, daughter of Benjamin & Lydia (Manchester) Remington, before she married Olney Rice Arnold. These do not seem as reasonable as including him as the next younger brother to Benjamin F. (thereby discounting a birthdate of c1825, from Benns).

    One more question remains: which one married Phebe A. Cleveland b. 3 Oct 1833? At first I thought it could have been either one. Martha Benns puts Phebe with Jonathan Monroe Remington (whom she has b1825 as a son of Thomas & Betsey). I know that Phebe and her husband Jonathan Remington had at least one child, born 28 April 1861 in West Greenwich. Named Charles E. Remington, he was their first child (see p. 11, book of "Births" for 1857-1905). The original entry identifies the mother as Phebe M. Cleavland, born in West Greenwich, and the father as Jonathan Remington, born in Warwick. The various census records show Phebe's husband as being born c1817, so I feel he must be the other one, s/o James & Sally, rather than the son of Thomas & Betsey.

    Jonathan married Mary Ann "Abby" Hazard Bef 16 Nov 1832. Mary (daughter of Sylvester Gardiner Hazard and Elizabeth Greene) was born Between 1800 and 1809, RI; died 20 Aug 1892; was buried , Mt. Bloom Cemetery, Tiskilwa, Bureau Co., IL. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    I have made an assumption that this wife and two children in the census data belong to this particular Paul Remington. His age and birthplace agree, and since he moved to MN with his mother and stepfather, this makes it more likely that he later moved to ND.

    In the 1900 Federal Census, Paul & Odessa and their daughter Elizabeth are living at Bismarck, Burleigh Co., ND.

    In 1910 the family is still at Bismarck, Burleigh Co., ND. There are now two children: Elisabeth & Paul Jr.

    In 1920, Paul, Odessa, and Paul Jr. are still there.

    In 1930, Paul & Odessa are still living at Bismarck. Son Paul is married and living in the same town.

    Paul married Odessa Murphy Abt 1893. Odessa (daughter of Matthew Murphy and Mary E. Williams) was born Dec 1869, IL; died Aft 1 Apr 1930. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    I am not positive that Addie belongs here, but since William's wife was named Adaline (or Adela), it is likely that this infant buried with the Remingtons belongs to them.
