Generation: 3

  1. 9.  Samuel Remington Descendancy chart to this point (2.Ann2, 1.Elizabeth1) was born 1 Jun 1723, Warwick, RI.

  2. 10.  Mary Remington Descendancy chart to this point (2.Ann2, 1.Elizabeth1) was born 17 Aug 1725, Warwick, RI; died Between 1750 and 1769.

  3. 11.  Daniel Remington, Jr. Descendancy chart to this point (2.Ann2, 1.Elizabeth1) was born 11 Feb 1726/27, Warwick, RI; died 8 Jan 1780, Warwick, RI; was buried 10 Jan 1780.

  4. 12.  Peleg Remington Descendancy chart to this point (2.Ann2, 1.Elizabeth1) was born Aft 1727; died Aft 1774.

    Notes:

    I am adding Peleg to this family group based on an entry in "The Rhode Island 1777 Military Census" transcribed by Mildred M. Chamberlain, p. 120 (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1985). It says he is a son of Daniel, age 16 - 50 A, and a prisoner. Why was he a prisoner? This needs more research.

    If he were a son of Daniel Jr., I think it would specify that, since both Daniel (60+) and Daniel Jr. (16 - 50 U) are listed also. I have no record of any marriage for Daniel Jr., so possibly he was physically or mentally hadicapped and never married (?).

    Is he the same Peleg Remington, of Warwick, RI, who served in Capt Wall's Company in 1757 during the French & Indian War? Possibly.

    There are two Peleg Remingtons listed for Warwick in the 1774 RI Census.

    One Peleg Remington of Warwick had a wife named Nansey in 1750. Could it be this Peleg? I am not sure. For the present I have placed Nancy as the wife of another Peleg probably around the same age.


  5. 13.  Anne Remington Descendancy chart to this point (2.Ann2, 1.Elizabeth1) was born Abt 1732.

    Notes:

    I don't know whether the marriage of Anne & Peleg belongs to this family group, but I making an assumption here, that "Anne Remington of Warwick" is a daughter of Daniel & Anne Remington. Apparently the birth of their son Thomas was never recorded in Warwick records, so perhaps this also was the case with Anne. (Needs further research.)

    Anne married Peleg Rice 19 May 1754, Warwick, RI. Peleg (son of Nathan Rice and Sarah Spencer) was born 19 Dec 1730, East Greenwich, RI; died 25 May 1789. [Group Sheet]

    Children:
    1. 26. Lydia Rice  Descendancy chart to this point was born Abt 1755.
    2. 27. Samuel Rice  Descendancy chart to this point was born 1757, East Greenwich, RI.

  6. 14.  Thomas Remington Descendancy chart to this point (2.Ann2, 1.Elizabeth1) was born Abt 1734; died Bef 20 Dec 1789.

    Notes:

    The marriage record names him as Thomas Remington, of Daniel of Warwick. This is the most likely family group in which to place him. Several genealogists have done so, but realize it is an assumption or "educated guess." His birth is not found in the Warwick vital records along with Samuel, Mary, & Daniel.

    He left his wife Freelove around Jan 1765, and lived "in adultery." She petitioned for divorce in 1771, and it was granted. Did Thomas have children by another woman, or have a second marriage? See notes for Freelove.

    His daughter's marriage record mentions her father Thomas, dec'd; thus I have entered his date of death as bef. 20 Dec 1789.

    Thomas married Freelove Nichols 16 Aug 1759, East Greenwich, RI. Freelove (daughter of Joseph Nichols and Freelove Matteson) was born 7 Aug 1740; died Aft Apr 1771. [Group Sheet]

    3. 30. Freelove Remington  Descendancy chart to this point was born Abt 1765; died 26 Aug 1847; was buried , Providence, RI.

  7. 15.  Ruel Remington Descendancy chart to this point (2.Ann2, 1.Elizabeth1) was born Abt 1736, Warwick, RI; died Aft 1790.

    Notes:

    Ruel's parentage has never been proven, but various reliable sources have placed him in this family group. (This needs more research to confirm.)

    During the Revolutionary War, Ruel served in Captain Daniel Jenkes's Company, as well as several short enlistments. He was at Warwick, able to bear arms, in the 1777 military census.

    He was also a private in Col. Elliott's Regiment in 1776, pay due 26 pounds, 11 shillings, 5 pence.

    The name is also spelled Reuel. It is a Bible name meaning "the shepherd" or "friend of God" or "God is his friend." (for more information see: http://www.reference-guides.com/isbe/R/REUEL/e )

    Ruel married Robie Rice Abt 1754. Robie (daughter of Thomas Rice and Mary Holden) was born 27 Mar 1736, Warwick, RI; died Aft 1779. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    Based on information from a descendant, from published genealogies, and from family names passed down, I have made an assumption that the Nancy Remington b c 1762 at East Greenwich, RI, who married Col. Andrew Potter, is the same individual as this Anne Remington.

    Nancy was often a nickname for Ann, Anne, and Anna. See: http://www.cslib.org/nickname.htm -- also -- http://usefulenglish.ru/vocabulary/womens-names -- and elsewhere.

    According to her son Rev. Ray Potter's memoirs, Nancy came to the truth of the Gospel at about 1813 or age 52 or thereabouts. She "ever after was a burning and shining light in the church, a mother in Israel, and finished her course with joy."

    Also, according to Ray, his parents were poor.

    Notes:

    I am making an assumption that the marriage and death information here applies to this Joseph N. Remington, as I have found no other one to which they could apply. The only discrepancy is the birth date from MI/NY/Ohio descendants, which they have as February 1763. As such discrepancies are frequently found, it is only one of many factors to consider. This family group is a subject of ongoing research, and corrections are welcomed.

    From Joseph's Rev. War Pension file: On 22 April 1818, Joseph N. Remington, formerly of Rhode Island but of New York State at this time, said he was 55 years old. (Later he went to Ohio, around Sept 1839, as noted in the file.) His sworn statement says he enlisted 3 Jan 1781 at Warwick, RI. He was honorably discharged at Saratoga, NY, on 3 Jan 1784, where he was present at the taking of Lord Cornwallis. Joseph's pension statement was signed with an X. A statement dated 28 June 1820 states that Joseph lives in the town of Alfred, NY, in Allegany Co. At that time he stated that he was a farmer, that he had no real estate, and that his wife of fifty years of age was very infirm. He himself is subject to rheumatism. He names his six children as follows: Daniel 18, Potter 14, John 10, Loasie 16, Charlotte 12, & Fanny 6. There is also reference to a note due him in the amount of 8.25 from Thomas Remington; no relationship is specified, but this could be his father.

    According to information provided by descendant Carol Burford:

    Joseph served for 7 years in the Revolutionary War, including Saratoga. He came as a pioneer to Allegany County, NY.

    1810 census: Plymouth, Chenango Co., NY

    Notes:

    Anthony served in the Revolutionary War. His pension claim is #W4791, viewable at NARA on microfilm. I have viewed this file twice. It says he lived in Warwick, RI, where he enlisted in August 1776. He served as a marine (mariner) in Captain Duvall's company, on board the ship Providence, under Captain Abraham Whipple. He later served under Captain Rice until 1781. (see further notes below on military service)

    In August 1818 Anthony was residing in Tolland, Hampden County, MA. He appears there in the 1820 & 1830 Federal Censuses. In the fall of 1833 he moved to Ohio, where his daughter Fanny and her husband William P. Barnes had located. In the 1830 census, an Anthony Remington is at Howland, Trumbull Co., OH. Might he have been visiting at that time? His son Virgilius is at Fowler, OH, that year.

    The file notes that Anthony died "8-10-30 Nov 1833 in Freedom, Portage County, Ohio." It also states that he was married to Hannah sometime in the winter of 1781/82, probably March, in Westerly, RI. Her year of birth is given as 1762, but no surname is noted; she died 1 Aug 1842 at Fowler, Trumbull County, Ohio.

    According to the pension file, in 1820 he stated the names of his children as: Mercy 22, Joseph W. 17, Anthony Rice 13, Lyman I. or J. 6, and Emeline M 3. I do not know where all of his children were born -- RI or MA.

    A copy of a Bible record has the following: Rhoda 8 Oct 1782; Josiah 22 Sept 1784; Fannah, Fanny, or Frances 17 Aug 1786, m. 1809 to Wm. P. Barnes, b. in Granville (Tolland), MA; Charles 27 June 1788; Huldah 21 Feb 1791; Hannah 29 Jan 1793; Sally 4 Dec 1796; Mercy 28 Jul 1798; Lyman 28 Mar 1800; Virgilious 6 June 1805; Anthony Rice 7 Nov 1807.

    Anthony & Hannah (Otter) Remington moved to Fowler, Ohio, to live with daughter Fannie Barnes, where Anthony died one week after arriving (Nov 11, 1833).

    The following note is from Karen Hermann:
    "The land records for Josiah Remington place him in Tolland, MA, in Oct 1833 and in Freedom, OH, in June 1834; since his father Anthony died in Freedom on 31 Nov 1833, according to the Anthony's pension record, I believe Josiah was the one who brought him to Ohio. He stated in an affidavit in 1823 that Josiah was his only means of support."

    Here is an interesting web site done by one of his descendants: http://www.scuttlebuttsmallchow.com/prov.html

    From another site:
    "Anthony Remington, from Warwick, Rhode Island: Enlisted as a Marine in late August 1776 aboard the frigate Providence, which laid in Providence Harbor at the time, under Capt. Duval, Captain of Marines; and John Channing, 1st Lt of Marines. Term of enlistment: 12 months. Providence was commanded by Commodore Abraham Whipple. Honorably discharged twelve months later while the "Providence" lay in Providence River. Discharge signed by Commodore Abraham Whipple. After leaving the Marine Corps, his health impaired, Remington served every year in the local militia (Pawtuxet Rangers, of which he was a founding member) until 1781, and also as a coast watcher for the Navy. He endured ill health and poverty for the rest of his life, alleviated in part by pensions awarded for his military service. Remington's great-great-great grandson, Alpheus Appenheimer, served with the Marines in France in 1918. His great-great-great-great-great grandson, Mitchell B. Young, served with the Marines in Vietnam."

  17. 41.  Joseph Remington, III Descendancy chart to this point (20.Elizabeth3, 5.Sarah2, 1.Elizabeth1) was born Abt 1750; died Bef 20 Feb 1813.

    Notes:

    He is referred to as Joseph Remington, Jr., in some of the Scituate town records.

    I have estimated the birth years of several of Joseph's children. His will mentions his wife, Ann, and the following children: Daniel, Robert (under 21), Mary, Ruth, Sophia, Susanna, & Betsey (last three under 18). Executors were sons James & Jeremiah.

    Many genealogies show Joseph Lippitt Remington as husband of Alice and father of these children. However, information provided by Barbara Chase has shown this to be erroneous. A deed found in Scituate Land Evidence Bk 11 p 473, dated 20 Feb 1813, mentions Elizabeth Remington, widow of Joseph Sr.; Alice Remington widow of Joseph Jr.; and James Remington of Scituate and his wife Isabel. This transaction involved the sale of land to Ebenezer, Stephen, & Abraham Burlingame.

    He is very possibly the Joseph Remington mentioned in the following list:

    An Historical Sketch of The Town of Scituate, R.I.; Part 4: "Scituate was not invaded, but she was called upon, and responded nobly to the call, to march her troops to the port. The British, on Sunday, Dec. 8, 1776, landed and took possession of Rhode Island, and remained there until Oct. 25, 1779, during which time the inhabitants were greatly oppressed. In a list of Capt. Knight's company, April 2, 1775, the day after the Lexington battle, are found the following names: Joseph Knight, captain; Samuel Wilbor, Benjamin Wood, Isaac Horton, John Hill, Nathan Walker, James Parker, John Bennet, jr., Jeremiah Almy, Joseph Remington, Nathan Ralfe, John I. Kilton, Jonathan Knight, jr., Joseph Briggs, David Knight, Joseph Collins, William Taylor John Manchester, Edward Bennett, Thomas Parker, John Edwards, jr., Simeon Wilbor, Isaiah Austin, Samuel Eldridge, Christopher Knight, Samuel Hopkins, Benajah Bosworth, Obadiah Rolfe, Ezekiel Wood, Caleb Fisk, doctor, Jolin Phillips, Constant Graves, Stukely Thornton, James Andrews, jr., Christopher Collins, Joseph Bennet, Thomas Knight, Peleg Colvin, Eleazor Westcott, Caleb Steere, Collins Roberts, Daniel Fisk, William Knight, Nathan Franklin, Uriah Franklin, jr., Ephriam Edwards, Stephen Edwards, Francis Fuller, jr., Benjamin Whitmore, William Stafford, Daniel Angell, Furmer Tanner -- fifty-two in all."

    Notes:

    Some information on Sarah and her daughter Sarah came from Remington descendant Barbara Chase.

    Sarah died in her 68th year.

    A Sarah Remington of Cranston, singlewoman, filed a will dated 9 Jan 1803, proved 25 Nov 1820. In it she mentions her father Joseph Remington, deceased, and her brother Joseph Remington. Her two daughters were Elizabeth & Sarah Remington.

    Boyd Scott Remington's chart shows this Sarah's death as 11 Nov 1820, Cranston, RI, but he includes the above data in the family group of Joseph & Innocent Remington, my ancestors. Information from Barbara Chase has shown otherwise.

    Additional evidence is the RI Cemetery Database, which shows Sarah Remington c.1752 - 11 Nov 1820, buried in Scituate #83.

    Notes:

    Jonathan's name as a son in this family was suggested by Barbara Chase, since land evidence and census records show that a Jonathan Remington was living in Scituate near Joseph Remington. However, those references may be for the Jonathan who married Mary Havens; he was a son of Thomas Remington of Scituate. Thomas was older brother to Joseph.
