Stephen Smith, Sr.

Stephen married Mary Sabin Abt 1742. Mary was born Abt 1717, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The will of Stephen Smith, Sr., of Warwick, is dated 1 June 1815, codicil dated 13 Feb 1821, and proved 12 July 1824. It mentions his wife Phebe, sons Benjamin, Stephen Jr., & Israel, and daughters Mary Remington, Phebe Smith, Lydia Smith, & Sally Smith.

I have been able to find definite birth dates for only two of the children -- Benjamin & Israel. For Mary, the RI Cemetery Database says 1770, but the supplement to Descendants of Roger Williams says 1776. This needs more research. Consequently, I am not sure which children are of Patience and which are of Phebe.

Stephen married Patience Arnold 26 Dec 1765, Warwick, RI. Patience (daughter of Simeon Arnold and Lydia Greene) was born 4 Dec 1747, Warwick, RI; died 31 Jul 1775; was buried , Arnold-Pawtuxet Burial Ground, Harrison St., Pawtuxet, RI. [Group Sheet]

Stephen married Phebe Unknown Aft 1775. Phebe was born Abt 1745; died 14 Sep 1818; was buried , Arnold-Pawtuxet Burial Ground, Harrison St., Pawtuxet, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Simeon Smith was a Charter Member of the Pawtuxet Rangers (Oct 1774).

He was Master of Providence-based privateer brig, Hope, 1781. (source: Field, Edward; State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations at the End of the Century: A History. Boston, Mason Publishing Co. 1902, Vol II, pp424-430 List of Privateersmen from Providence)

He was a Revolutionary War Pensioner (File # S21492).

Simeon's will was dated 3 February 1836, and proved 27 May 1843 at Cranston, RI. In it he mentions sons Simeon Jr., Nicholas, Moses, Aaron, & Remington. He speaks of his daughters, but not by name. Also mentioned are grandchildren Nathaniel P. Smith, John R. Harris, & Charlotte P. Thomas.

Simeon died at age 97, the oldest resident of Pawtuxet at the time. A veteran of the Revolution, he was loyal to the cause of liberty and took his civic privileges seriously. It was reported that in the last election, he traveled 5 miles to vote.

A death notice was printed in the Brooklyn Eagle, 9 March 1843.

He may have married first to Freelove Fenner, b. 13 July 1743. She married Capt. Simon Smith on 23 March 1766 at Providence, RI. However, that may have been another individual with a similar name born around the same time. He was generally referred to as Capt. Simeon Smith. (Is he the Simeon Smith who also married Freelove Fenner? Probably; but this needs more research; there was another Simeon Smith of Burrillville/Glocester; both were Rev. War pensioners.)

Simeon married Martha Peck 12 Dec 1773, Warwick, RI. Martha (daughter of Elisha Peck and Mary Arnold) was born 24 Aug 1756, Warwick, RI; died 6 Jan 1833, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Mollie — Mr. Atwood. [Group Sheet]

Sally — Mr. Amesbury. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Mary was known as Polly.

From Cranston Land Evidence 7-19, dated 25 Sept 1802: Charles Remington of Cranston, mariner, sold property to James Rhodes, merchant, for $750. The transaction included "one lot of land in Cranston in part called Pawtuxet." It was "bounded westerly on Main St., northerly by land of Remington Sheldon, and southerly on said Sheldon." This was sold "together with dwelling house -- barn & buildings -- was purchased by me of Rhodes Greene in April 1786" (should be 1796 -- note by Mary E. Rice) . . . "I, the said Polly Remington, wife of said Charles Remington, releases dower." (sic) This was signed by Charles Remington & Mary Remington, and witnessed by John A. Aborn & Patience Smith.

Again, on 4 Dec 1805, a Cranston deed includes the following: "I, Mary or Polly Remington, wife of the above named Charles Remington, releases dower." It was signed by Charles and Polly Remington.

From the records of the First Baptist Church of Providence, RI: Mrs. Mary Remington (date of membership or baptism?) Not known Nov. 16, 1806, L (letter?) to Pawtuxet church. W. of Charles.

Notes from the Mary E. Rice Collection, concerning Cranston Land Evidence, deed bk #1 pp. 584 & 585, dated 17 Oct 1825: Mary C. Remington, widow of Charles, deceased late of said Cranston, mariner, and William Henry Aborn of Providence, merchant, and his wife Harriot Angeline Aborn . . . " The content concerned the release of all debts pertaining to the estate of Charles, also a release to Samuel Aborn Condy and wife Maria Frances. (Maria & Harriet were sisters, and daughters of Charles & Mary)

The announcement of her death said she died "after 4 yrs. 6 mos. suffering."

Her gravestone has this saying: [she died] "after 4 years and 6 months of suffering which she endured with calm resignation and solid hope of Heaven."

The 2003 supplement to the book "Descendants of Roger Williams, Waterman and Winsor Lines" has her date of birth as 6 November 1776. Depending on whether she was born in 1770 or 1776, determines which of Stephen's wives was her mother. She did have a granddaughter named Phebe, but whether this is a clue that her mother was Phebe is debatable.

Mary married Charles Remington 1793. Charles (son of Peleg Remington, I and Waite Rhodes) was born 1772; died 8 Jan 1810, Sierre Leone, Africa; was buried , Arnold-Pawtuxet Burial Ground, Harrison St., Pawtuxet, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The first recorded meeting of Masons in Pawtuxet Village was 12 Apr 1805 at the home of Anthony Aborn, Esq. There were seven present. It was decided to establish a Lodge at Pawtuxet. The third meeting was 26 April at Col. Bowen's house, where they drew up a petition for a Lodge. Eight additional people signed, including Peleg Remington & Simeon Smith, Jr.

After Simeon moved to Thomasville, GA, he and his son-in-law, Edward Remington, joined together in establishing a mercantile store (from notes by Mrs. Doris Davies).

Notes:

Remington Smith is the great great grandfather of Chandler Smith Cheek.

Another genealogy has his date of death as 11 May 1874. (see Mary E. Rice Collection)

On 16 Nov 1842, Remington Smith was one of three men who represented the Pawtuxet Baptist Church at a Council of the RI Baptist State Convention, held at the Old Warwick Baptist Meeting House. This meeting considered and approved the establishment of the Shawomet Baptist Church, now located on West Shore Rd., Warwick (sometimes called "Old Warwick").

Notes:

He died at sea on a passage from Providence, RI, to Savannah, GA.

The RI Cemetery Database/ gravestone data has his date of death as 23 Nov 1812.

The Providence Gazette: Date: 1812-12-26; Vol XLVIII, Iss 2557, Page 3:

"PORT OF PROVIDENCE. Cleared. Arrived on Tuesday, sloop Fair Rosamond, Gonsalve, six days from Wilmington (NC), Came passenger Capt. Benjamin Bowen, late master of the brig Defiance, of this port, who states, that on the 15th Of Nov last the brig sailed from New York, bound for Savannah; that nothing material occurred until the 24th when beginning in lat. 33:21 N. and long. 78:39 W. the brig being under short sail, was about 12 at night upset by a violent squall from S.W. The crew and passengers saved themselves by getting on the side of the vessel, except three, who perished in the attempt; at half past 12 A.M. both masts went by the board; that the brig then righted, being full of water; the main mast in going split the deck in such a manner that it was impossible to free her of water; the weather proved boisterous, and the sea making a continual breach over her until the 26th, when one of the passengers diving into the cabin an axe was obtained; they were then enabled to clear the masts and yards from alongside; the brig continued driving about at the mercy of the winds and waves until the 29th, when they were fortunately taken off the wreck by the crew of the schr. Franklin, Capt. Nickenson, of New Bedford, who treated them politely. They arrived off Cape Fear Bar on the 30th, and on the 1st of Dec the wreck was discovered on the Frying Pan Shoal. The weather being moderate, a part of her cargo is saved. The persons drowned were Russell W. Allen, son of Mr. Joseph Allen, of this town; STEPHEN S. REMINGTON, of Pawtuxet; and Jenckes Perkins, of Connecticut. The two latter were found in the cabin after the wreck went on shore, and were interred on Cape Fear in as decent a manner as circumstances would admit."

Notes:

In the 1880 Federal Census, Maria F. Condy is 84 and boarding with Harriet A. Aborn 77 who is "keeping house." The two widows are living at Providence, RI. I am making an assumption that these are two Remington sisters, since marriage records show that Harriet was d/o "Capt. Charles" and Maria was "d/o Charles."

This assumption has since been confirmed by several other sources.

Notes from the Mary E. Rice Collection, concerning Cranston Land Evidence, deed bk #1 pp. 584 & 585, dated 17 Oct 1825: Mary C. Remington, widow of Charles, deceased late of said Cranston, mariner, and William Henry Aborn of Providence, merchant, and his wife Harriot Angeline Aborn . . . " The content of this transaction concerned the release of all debts pertaining to the estate of Charles, also a release to Samuel Aborn Condy and wife Maria Frances. (Maria & Harriet were sisters.)

Maria married Thomas Hollis Condy, Jr. 23 Aug 1815. Thomas (son of Thomas Hollis Condy, Sr. and Mary "Polly" Aborn) was born 9 Aug 1791; died 16 Jul 1821, Savannah, GA. [Group Sheet]

Maria married Samuel Aborn Condy Aft 1821. Samuel (son of Thomas Hollis Condy, Sr. and Mary "Polly" Aborn) was born 27 Oct 1792, Boston, MA; died 3 Sep 1849, Pawtuxet, RI; was buried , Arnold-Pawtuxet Burial Ground, Harrison St., Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Reported in the death notices of the New York Evening Post, 17 Nov 1819: "Savannah, 2nd inst., Charles Remington, 21"

Notes:

In various places her name has been spelled as Annloire, Anneloire, Ann Louisa, and Ann L. The Remington genealogy from Virginia Adair (and given to the Roger Williams Family Association) has Louisa, b1800, marrying George Moore. It also lists another sister named "Samiloire" who supposedly also married George Moore. According to James N. Arnold's transcription of the Cranston records, the two were married on the exact same date, but two years apart. It seems clear to me that this is the same individual, and that there must have been an error in the transcription, perhaps recorded some time afterwards. In the 1860 Federal Census, George & Ann L. Moore are living in Providence, RI. Her age fits "Louisa" in the typed genealogy from Mrs. Adair.

Also, the RI Cemetery Database has her name as Ann Louisa (Remington) Morse, d/o Capt. Charles Remington, and w/o George Morse. Possibly Moore was misread on the gravestone as Morse.

However, their marriage announcement in the Providence Phenix identifies the couple as Ann Louisa Remington & George Morse.

The marriage record says she was "of Charles."

Anne married George Morse 22 Jul 1824, Pawtuxet, Cranston, RI. George was born Abt 1799, MA; died 11 Aug 1872; was buried , Arnold-Pawtuxet Burial Ground, Harrison St., Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1880 Federal Census, Harriet A. Aborn a. 77 is "keeping house," and Maria F. Condy a. 84 is boarding with her. The two widows are living at Providence, RI. I am making an assumption that they are sisters, since marriage records show that Harriet was d/o "Capt. Charles" and Maria was "d/o Charles."

This has since been confirmed by data from other sources.

Notes from the Mary E. Rice Collection, concerning Cranston Land Evidence, deed bk #1 pp. 584 & 585, dated 17 Oct 1825: Mary C.

" The content of this transaction concerned the release of all debts pertaining to the estate of Charles, also a release to Samuel Aborn Condy and wife Maria Frances. (Maria & Harriet were sisters.)

I wonder if Harriet A. and Henry A. were twins? If not, she must have been born early in 1803, or even in 1802.

According to the RI Cemetery Database, the cause of her death was paralysis.

Harriet married William Henry Aborn Abt 30 Jan 1825, Pawtuxet, RI. William was born 1799; died 19 Nov 1872; was buried , Swan Point Cemetery, Providence, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Henry served as a cabinet maker's apprentice under Robert Niles. He later engaged in agricultural pursuits and became a prosperous farmer.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Henry A., 46, & Sally A., 47, are living in Warwick, RI. Their children in the home are: Charles, 24, a clerk; William A., 23, a miner; Horatio A., 21, a machinist; Henry A., 16; Sarah A., 12; and Phebe A., 10.

In the 1870 Federal Census, the family is in Providence, RI. Henry A. is age 66, "Sallie" A. is 66, Sarah A. is 33, and Phebe A. is 29. Also in the household is Marrietta Remington, 14, b.c. 1856 in Georgia. Could she be a daughter of William Aborn Remington from one of his marriages? (needs research) In a deed dated 13 Nov 1853 at Warwick, William A. Remington was said to be "of Marietta in the State of Georgia."

Henry's death record identifies him as "son of Charles."

Notes from the Mary E. Rice Collection, concerning Cranston land evidence, deed 19-435: Henry A. Remington & Sarah Ann Remington of Warwick, RI, sold land to Maria F. Condy of Cranston, RI, wife of Samuel A. Condy. This property had previously been sold to Charles Remington by Ezra Dean. (Maria is a sister of Henry.)

Warwick land evidence, bk. 9 p. 366, in re: Sion Arnold, Henry A. Remington, etc.; this document says that Henry A. Remington is "guardian of persons & Estates of Phebe Remington, Sarah Remington, & Henry Remington infants under the age of 21 years, being heirs of Sion Arnold together with the said Horatio A., Charles, and one William A. Remington . . the said Sally Ann Remington, their mother." It was signed 15 July 1853 by Charles Remington, Henry A. Remington, Sally A. Remington, Horatio A. Remington, & Martha A.

Notes:

The Rhode Island Death Index identifies Alfred F. Remington as a son of Charles & Mary Remington. I have made an assumption that he belongs in this particular family group, because I know of no other couple named Charles & Mary in this time frame. Also, the names of Alfred's children are important clues that reflect the names of his siblings.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Alfred F. & Eliza Remington, ages 45 & 42, are living in Cranston, RI. They have four children: Harriet 19, Charles 12, Albert 4, & Henry E. 2.

In the 1860 Federal Census, Albert F. & Eliza Remington, ages 54 & 51, are still living in Cranston. Three of their children are in the household: Charles 22, Albert F. 16, & Henry A. 12.

In 1870 they are in Ward 9, Providence, RI: Albert F. is 65 and Eliza R. is 60; Henry E. is 22.

By 1880, Albert & Eliza have an empty nest. He is age 74 and an invalid; she is 71. They are living in District 53, Providence, RI.

Albert married Eliza A. Read 1 May 1828, Providence, RI. Eliza (daughter of Peter Read and Margaret Unknown) was born Between 1808 and 1810, MA; died 31 Mar 1884, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

From an email by Chandler Smith Cheek:
I have letters written by Daniel and Sheldon to my great grandfather Chandler Holmes Smith in Madison, Florida. One was sad. Sheldon writes the following about his sister Elizabeth: "When I left you in Jasper (FL), little did I think that I should come back home and find one member of my father's little family missing. (Sheldon's father was Nicholas, Chandler's Uncle and Elizabeth would have been Sheldon's 20-year-old sister). Such however is the case. Elizabeth is dead. She went to Hinesville on a visit, was taken sick and died very suddenly. Poor creature it has been her lot to suffer in this world - but no doubt tonight she is better off than she was in this
world. Elizabeth was a dear girl and had a great many friends. All who knew her, loved her, 'The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.' Although we have lost a dear, kind sister, our loss is her eternal gain. Pa seemed very much affected indeed. I feel sorry for the poor old man. I think he looks thinner and worse than I ever saw him."
