  1. 1.  John Remington was born Abt 1690, Portsmouth, RI; died 18 Jul 1723, Providence, RI.

    Notes:

    The Remington chart by Boyd Scott Remington at RIHSL has the following information for this John Remington:
    born 1695 at Warwick, RI, died 8 Jul 1723 at Johnston, RI; freeman 1718; purchased land on Drybrook 1721, retained in family until 1835; married Mariam Sweet; had son Joshua born 1720, died 15 Aug 1787 at Johnston. Mariam (Sweet) Remington later married Ebenezer Greene (b. 8 Feb 1701) on 1 Aug 1724; she married third Edward Capron on 1730.

    The chart also shows the son Joshua marrying Elizabeth King, b. 1730, d. 18 Apr 1824. Supposedly they had 7 or 8 children, including a son Caleb and a daughter Mariam.

    No documentation is provided. This needs more research. However, I am including BSR's information on John's son Joshua because it is the link to Caleb Remington & Roby Warner, whose information I have researched and confirmed. Note, that Joshua is Caleb's father has not been personally verified by me; or, that Mariam's husband is the John Remington in this family group.

    John married Mariam Blackington Abt 1720. Mariam (daughter of Pentecost Blackington and Ann Pederick) was born Abt Mar 1694/95, Marblehead, MA; died Aft 1756. [Group Sheet]

    Children:
    1. 2. Joshua Remington  Descendancy chart to this point was born 1720; died 15 Aug 1787; was buried , Johnston, RI.


Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Joshua Remington Descendancy chart to this point (1.John1) was born 1720; died 15 Aug 1787; was buried , Johnston, RI.

    Notes:

    I have not as yet confirmed that Joshua is John's son, as indicated on the ancestry chart by Boyd Scott Remington. However, it is a reasonable assumption, particularly since Joshua had a daughter named Mariam, probably named after Mariam Sweet.

    Joshua became a freeman in 1742, was appointed fence viewer for Johnston in 1759, and highway overseer in 1768. He is listed in the 1777 Military Census at Johnston, RI, along with sons Stephen & Joshua, Jr..

    BSR says Joshua's grave is in a cemetery on Central Ave., Johnston, but there is no listing in the RI Cemetery Database. Perhaps there was no stone, or the stone has been taken.

    Several cemeteries in Johnston are now labeled as "missing."

    Is he the one who built the Remington farmhouse on Central Ave.? According to information on the back of the photo, it was built in 1713.

    I have estimated the birth years for some of Joshua's children.

    Joshua married Elizabeth King Abt 1747. Elizabeth (daughter of John King) was born 1730; died 18 Apr 1824, RI. [Group Sheet]

Generation: 3

  1. 3.  Caleb Remington, Sr. Descendancy chart to this point (2.Joshua2, 1.John1) was born 16 Sep 1747, Johnston, RI; died Between Feb and Sep 1836, Johnston, RI; was buried , Historical Cemetery 27, Remington Lot, Central Ave., Johnston, RI.

    Notes:

    Caleb was a Sergeant in the Revolution. According to a manuscript (Rev. War -- Burial Place & Service of RI Patriots) at the Knight Library in Providence, Caleb served June 1775 - Aug 1780 in Capt. General's Cavaliers. It says he was buried on the Knapp place, next to the Hughes' residence, Hughesdale, Johnston, RI. (This manuscript is now at the RI Public Library, RI Collection)

    He is listed on the Pension Roll of 1835: Remington, Caleb, sergeant, Providence County, all $120, rec $360, R. I. Militia, pl Oct. 24, 1833, com March 4, 1831, age 86

    I have estimated the birth years for some of Caleb's children.

    There is a court document at the RI Historical Society Library, Manuscript Room, concerning $30 owed to Caleb Remington of Johnston, cooper & yeoman, by Henry Warner of Providence. The document is dated 10 January 1797. Perhaps Henry was a relative of Caleb's wife.

    Capt. Caleb Remington was an innkeeper at Johnston. He also ran a blacksmith and coopering business. In 1808 he advertised his property and business for sale, with the intention of closing his business.

    He appears to be living in Gloucester, Providence Co., RI, in the 1810 census: 1 male 10-15 (Stephen). 2 males 16-25 (Henry & ?), 1 male 45+ (Caleb), 2 females 10-15 (Elizabeth & ?), 2 females 16-25 (Roby Ann & Mary), and 1 female 45+ (wife Roby). The census was taken in August, and daughter Amy was married in April; so there are two unknown individuals listed.

    In the 1830 census, he is likely the male age 80-90 living with Caleb Remington, Jr.

    Death notice in the Columbian Centinel of 6 Aug 1836: "Capt. Caleb Remington d. at Johnston, age 90, was in the Revolution."

    Excerpt from "Club and Professional Life or Rhode Island" Vol. 1 pub. 1895 (at RI College library; copy at Roger Wms. Family Assoc.), article on Henry Adolphus Remington: "Capt. Caleb, of Johnston, Rhode Island, born 1748, served in the expedition to Rhode Island in 1778, under Capt. Benjamin Stack, and no braver heart ever fluttered in man than that which pulsated in the heart of this well-known revolutionary hero. Caleb Remington, of Johnston, was admitted as a master Mason of Manchester Lodge, Anthony, Rhode Island, Nov. 17th, 1809. The Remingtons were early settlers of Providence, Johnston and Cranston. One of the oldest houses now standing in the town of Johnston is the Remington farm house, which passed from Caleb, son of Capt. Caleb, father of Judge Remington, the pioneer Judge of the town, and is now in the possession of the only surviving member of the family, Miss Joanna Remington."

    Caleb married Roby Warner Abt 1776. Roby (daughter of William Warner and Susannah Briggs) was born 1755; died 14 Nov 1815, Johnston, RI; was buried , Historical Cemetery 27, Remington Lot, Central Ave., Johnston, RI. [Group Sheet]

  4. 6.  Mariam Remington Descendancy chart to this point (2.Joshua2, 1.John1) was born Abt 1753; died Abt 1794.

    Notes:

    I have roughly estimated Mariam's birth year. She may have been born later.

    It has been said that Mariam & David went to Bartonsville, VT (needs more research).

    David's third wife as shown on my family tree -- named Anne -- may actually be Mariam -- possibly a nickname (?). However, his first wife was Anna. One genealogy says that Mariam died c1835 at Johnston. David's will mentions his wife as Naomy.

    Mariam married David Knapp, Jr. Abt 1775. David (son of David Knapp and Patience Rhodes) was born Abt 1747; died Between Jun and Sep 1830, Johnston, Providence Co., RI. [Group Sheet]

Generation: 4

  1. 12.  John Remington Descendancy chart to this point (3.Caleb3, 2.Joshua2, 1.John1) was born 20 May 1777; died 9 Dec 1820, Johnston, RI; was buried , Historical Cemetery 27, Johnston, RI.

    Notes:

    He may be the John Remington listed in the 1800 Federal Census at Johnston, RI. If so, I cannot account for the individuals in the household, as there appears to be an extra girl (3 under 10) and a boy age 10 - 15.

    He appears to be the John Remington living in Gloucester, Providence Co., RI, in the 1810 census: 1 male under 10 (William), 1 male 16-25 (?), 1 male 26-44 (John), 3 females under 10 (Susan, Sarah, Harriet), 2 females 10-15 (Lydia, Phebe), and 1 female 26-44 (wife Sarah). He is listed next to Caleb Remington.

    John married Sarah "Sally" Paine 28 Aug 1796, Johnston, RI. Sarah (daughter of Joseph Paine and Prudence Bussey) was born 19 Jun 1775; died 28 Aug 1830; was buried , Historical Cemetery 27, Johnston, RI. [Group Sheet]

    1. 52. Reuben Mathewson, Jr.  Descendancy chart to this point was born Abt 1810.
    2. 53. Henry Remington Mathewson  Descendancy chart to this point was born 1812, Johnston, Providence Co., RI; died 1881, Rio Vista, CA.

  3. 14.  Henry M. Remington Descendancy chart to this point (3.Caleb3, 2.Joshua2, 1.John1) was born Between 1779 and 1789; died 30 Oct 1814, Johnston, RI; was buried , Historical Cemetery 27, Remington Lot, Central Ave., Johnston, RI.

    Notes:

    The RI Cemetery Database has his middle initial as H, and his year of birth as c1789. Boyd Scott Remington has the middle initial as M, and the year of birth as 1779.


  4. 15.  Caleb Remington, Jr. Descendancy chart to this point (3.Caleb3, 2.Joshua2, 1.John1) was born Between 1783 and 1784; died Between 4 Oct 1849 and 1850; was buried , Caleb Remington Lot, Historical Cemetery 32, Scituate Ave., Johnston, RI.

    Notes:

    According to Caleb's gravestone, he died in his 66th year on 4 Oct 1849. However, he is age 66 in the June 1850 Federal Census.

    In the 1850 Census, the Remmington household is as follows: Caleb 66 RI Machinist, Joannah L. 50 RI, John 27 RI Machine Printery (?), Andrew 25 RI (same occupation), Caleb 24 RI Laborer, Benjamin 22 RI Laborer, Christopher 17 RI Laborer, Joannah 14 RI, Joseph R. Mathewson 14 RI (probably Caleb's grand-nephew), Abraham Bennette 33 RI Farmer, and Zilpha Bennette 22 RI.

    I am wondering if his marriage to Joanna was a second marriage for Caleb. I have found a William Remington born c 1808 in Foster, RI, to Caleb & Vesta Remington. He is living in Sturbridge, MA, with his family in 1850 - 1880, and died there in 1880. The death record names his parents. Since Caleb's brother William died in 1807, he may have named a son after him. Perhaps Vesta died and Caleb remarried (?).

    Although I am not positive that this refers to this Caleb, the 1810 census lists the household of Caleb Remington 2nd living in Gloucester, Providence Co., RI, as follows: 2 males under 10, 1 male 26-44 (Caleb), 2 females under 10, 2 females 10-15, and 1 female 26-44. If this is indeed a first marriage, possibly to Vesta, they may have had at least 2 daughters and two sons born between 1800 and 1810. The two older girls could be other relatives (?).

    The 1810 census at Glocester also lists Caleb, here as Caleb Remington Jr., with household as follows: 1 free white male 16-18, 1 free white male 16-26 including family heads, 1 free white male 26-45, and 1 free white male 45+; and 1 free white female 16-26. This seems to show that Caleb has a young wife, as his wife in 1810 was age 26-44. Assuming this is the same Caleb as in 1810, where are the daughters? Is there one son, or two, still in the household?

    Adeline was born in Oct 1820, presumably after this census was taken, dated Aug.

    In 1830 Caleb Remington Jr. is listed at Johnston: 2 males under 5 (Benjamin & Caleb), 2 males 5-10 (John & Andrew), 1 male 30-40 (possible a nephew, Caleb B. or William W.), 1 male 40-50 (Caleb), 1 male 80-90 (father Caleb Sr.), 1 female 5-10 (Adeline), and 1 female 30-40 (wife Joanna). They are listed next to widowed sister Sarah Remington as head of her household; see notes for her.

    Caleb married Joanna LeValley 25 Nov 1819, Johnston, Providence Co., RI. Joanna (daughter of Caleb LeValley and Alice Fenner) was born Abt 8 Oct 1799; died 6 May 1876, Johnston, RI; was buried , Caleb Remington Lot, Historical Cemetery 32, Scituate Ave., Johnston, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Stephen Remington and his wife Sarah are age 50; son Orville is 9, and daughter Mary is 5. They are living in Ward 4, Providence, RI. In the 1870 Federal Census, Stephen W. Remington is age 71, and Sarah R. is 70. They are living in Ward 7, Providence, RI. Their son Orville, age 29, is with them. Thus, Stephen's date of death in the RI Death Index can't be correct (8 May 1863). Therefore, I am changing it to 1873.

    He is probably the Stephen W. Remington who is in the Providence City Directory of 1836/7 as a cooper.

    Notes:

    The marriage announcement for Laban & Patience in the Provence Phenix of 18 Apr 1807 identifies Patience as a daughter of David Esq., but does not mention Patience's mother, so I am not sure her mother is Mariam.
