  1. 2.  Elizabeth Collins Descendancy chart to this point (1.Sarah1) was born 26 Jan 1728/29, Warwick, Kent Co., RI; died Aft 15 Mar 1815.

    Notes:

    She is mentioned in her father's will dated 14 Feb 1757 as daughter Elizabeth Remington.

    I have made an assumption that her husband was Joseph Remington II who had a wife named Elizabeth.

    Elizabeth married Joseph Remington, II Abt 1749. Joseph (son of Joseph Remington, I and Margaret Burlingame) was born 21 Jan 1720/21, Warwick, RI; died 6 Jul 1800, Scituate, RI. [Group Sheet]

    3. 7. Jonathan Remington  Descendancy chart to this point was born Abt 1754; died Aft 1810.

Generation: 3

  1. 5.  Joseph Remington, III Descendancy chart to this point (2.Elizabeth2, 1.Sarah1) 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."

    Joseph married Alcey or Ann Unknown Abt 1777. Alcey was born Abt 1755; died Aft 15 Mar 1815. [Group Sheet]

    Children:
    1. 8. Mary Remington  Descendancy chart to this point was born Abt 1778.

    8. 15. Betsey Remington  Descendancy chart to this point was born Abt 1795.
    9. 16. Sophia Remington  Descendancy chart to this point was born Abt 1798; died 10 Sep 1881; was buried , Russell Smith Lot, Silk Lane, Scituate, RI.
    10. 17. Susanna Remington  Descendancy chart to this point was born Abt 1800; died Aft 1 Jun 1850.

  2. 6.  Sarah Remington Descendancy chart to this point (2.Elizabeth2, 1.Sarah1) was born Abt 1752; died 11 Nov 1820; was buried , Historical Cemetery 83, Seven Mile Rd., Scituate, RI.

    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.

    Sarah — . Unknown [Group Sheet]

    Children:
    1. 18. Elizabeth Remington  Descendancy chart to this point died Aft 8 Jun 1844.
    2. 19. Sarah Remington  Descendancy chart to this point was born 8 Mar 1789; died 18 Sep 1882; was buried , Fall River, MA.

  3. 7.  Jonathan Remington Descendancy chart to this point (2.Elizabeth2, 1.Sarah1) was born Abt 1754; died Aft 1810.

    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.



Generation: 4

  1. 8.  Mary Remington Descendancy chart to this point (5.Joseph3, 2.Elizabeth2, 1.Sarah1) was born Abt 1778.

  2. 9.  Daniel Remington Descendancy chart to this point (5.Joseph3, 2.Elizabeth2, 1.Sarah1) was born Abt 1780.

    Notes:

    The marriage record says Daniel was "of Scituate, son of Joseph," so I am making an assumption that this Daniel and his marriage at Cranston belongs to this family line.

    Daniel married Abigail "Nabby" Knight 7 Mar 1806, Cranston, Providence Co., RI. Abigail (daughter of Barzillai Knight and Eleanor Carpenter) was born Abt 1787; died Aft 1 Jun 1850. [Group Sheet]


  3. 10.  Henry H. Remington Descendancy chart to this point (5.Joseph3, 2.Elizabeth2, 1.Sarah1) was born Abt 1782; died 29 Aug 1801, Warwick, RI.

    Notes:

    A son (deceased) named Henry is not mentioned in Joseph's will. However, the records for Warwick show the death of Henry H. Remington, son of Joseph & Ann, at age 19, unmarried, 29 August 1801. Joseph names his wife as Ann in his will. Whether there was another couple named Joseph & Ann in this time period, I have not yet discovered. In the meantime, I am including Henry in this family group, based on the death record.


  4. 11.  James Remington Descendancy chart to this point (5.Joseph3, 2.Elizabeth2, 1.Sarah1) was born 8 Aug 1786; died 17 May 1829; was buried , Greenwood Cemetery, Fairview Ave., Coventry, RI.

    Notes:

    He is probably the James Remington listed at Scituate, RI, in the Federal Census of 1810.

    James married Isabella Parker 15 Mar 1811, Warwick, RI. Isabella (daughter of Thomas Parker and Susanna Unknown) was born Abt 23 Jul 1790, Scituate, RI; died 15 Aug 1864; was buried , Greenwood Cemetery, Fairview Ave., Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    He lived in Cranston, RI; Grafton, MA; and Rehoboth, MA.

    In the 1830 Federal Census, Jeremiah is at Grafton, Worcester County, MA.

    Jeremiah is not mentioned in his father's will.

    From Rehoboth, MA, Vital Records at newenglandancestors.org:
    1845 REMINGTON Jeremiah, of Joseph and Alcey, buried Fall River, 58y 0m 8d, Sept. 22, 1845 8 2 Death

    An individual named B. Chase has contacted me with additional data differing from mine concerning Jeremiah's parentage, so this may resolve some of the questions which remain (still needs more research).

    Jeremiah married Dorcas Knight Abt 1811. Dorcas (daughter of Barzillai Knight and Eleanor Carpenter) was born 16 May 1791; died 29 Mar 1877; was buried , Oak Grove Cemetery, Fall River, MA. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    MANCHESTER Ruth, wife of Stephen, Sept. 5, 1824 dis to New ch.

    Apparently Ruth received a letter of dismissal from the Coventry church (probably Maple Root) to a new (branch) church.

    Ruth married Stephen Manchester 8 Oct 1820, Cranston, RI. Stephen (son of Joseph Manchester and Mary Arnold) was born 14 Feb 1780; died 19 Feb 1852; was buried , Manchester Cemetery, Washington St., Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]


  7. 14.  Robert Remington Descendancy chart to this point (5.Joseph3, 2.Elizabeth2, 1.Sarah1) was born Abt Dec 1793.

    Notes:

    According to information provided by Barbara Chase, a deed mentioned that Robert would be 21 in Dec 1814. (Scituate Land Ev Bk 12 p 55)


  8. 15.  Betsey Remington Descendancy chart to this point (5.Joseph3, 2.Elizabeth2, 1.Sarah1) was born Abt 1795.

    Notes:

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Susan Remington, 50, is living in Scituate, RI, with Russell & Sophia Smith. I believe that Susan & Sophia are sisters.


  11. 18.  Elizabeth Remington Descendancy chart to this point (6.Sarah3, 2.Elizabeth2, 1.Sarah1) died Aft 8 Jun 1844.

    Notes:

    Elizabeth's will of 8 June 1844 designates her sister Sarah Harris as executrix; Elizabeth was of Cranston, but apparently the will was written and signed at Scituate.
