  1. 2.  Dorcas Remington Descendancy chart to this point (1.Freelove1) was born 28 Feb 1756, Cranston, RI.

  2. 3.  John Remington Descendancy chart to this point (1.Freelove1) was born 29 Jul 1757, Scituate, RI; died 1840, MA.

    Notes:

    This is the record from James N. Arnold's VRs: REMINGTON John, July 29, 1754. It is out of date order among the children. I have not seen the original at Cranston, but maybe it is 1774, which would be the correct order.

    BSR's ancestry chart has the incorrect birth date for this John, with no marriage noted. He says that John was at Argyle, NY, in 1790 and at Litchfield, NY, in 1800. That may be correct. The 1790 census shows a John and a Stephen Remington at Argyle.

    I don't remember my source for this marriage to Mary Green -- probably the DAR Patriot Index (needs more research). However, the death date of 1840 may be incorrect for this John Remington, since the other one (b. 1756, s/o Thomas & Abigail of Warwick) died in 1840. Someone may have confused the two John Remingtons, both born in RI around the same year.

    John — Mary Greene. [Group Sheet]

    Children:
    1. 12. Stephen Remington  Descendancy chart to this point was born Abt 1780, Herkimer or Washington County, NY; died 9 Jul 1849, Pittsburgh, PA; was buried , Allegheny Cemetery, Pittsburgh PA.

  3. 4.  Stephen Remington Descendancy chart to this point (1.Freelove1) was born 17 Sep 1758, Cranston, RI.

    Notes:

    BSR's ancestry chart says that Stephen was at Argyle, NY, in 1790 and at Litchfield, NY, in 1800.


  4. 5.  Freelove Remington Descendancy chart to this point (1.Freelove1) was born 22 Jun 1760.

    Notes:

    Boyd Scott Remington has this Freelove married to David Atwood. However, there may have been another Freelove, born to Thomas & Freelove (Nichols) Remington, in 1765. I have placed David Atwood with that individual, primarily because of the dates in the RI Cemetery Database. See marriage notes for the other Freelove Remington in this family tree.


  5. 6.  Martha Remington Descendancy chart to this point (1.Freelove1) was born 22 Jun 1760.

  8. 9.  Benjamin Remington Descendancy chart to this point (1.Freelove1) was born 2 Nov 1764.

    Notes:

    BSR says Benjamin was at Argyle, NY in 1800.


  9. 10.  Sarah Remington Descendancy chart to this point (1.Freelove1) was born 28 Jul 1769, Cranston, RI.

  10. 11.  Thomas Remington Descendancy chart to this point (1.Freelove1) was born 19 Mar 1776.


Generation: 3

  1. 12.  Stephen Remington Descendancy chart to this point (3.John2, 1.Freelove1) was born Abt 1780, Herkimer or Washington County, NY; died 9 Jul 1849, Pittsburgh, PA; was buried , Allegheny Cemetery, Pittsburgh PA.

    Notes:

    Some genealogies have this Stephen as a son of John b.1770, brother of Eliphalet. However, if this Stephen was really born in 1780, that particular John could not have been his father (needs more research). Also, if he really was born in Ilion, NY, do we know that John & Mary (of RI) were living there?

    The cemetery record states that Stephen was born in Washington County, NY. The family of David Remington was living there around the time of Stephen's birth. Could it be that he is their son, and not a son of John? Unfortunately, Boyd Scott Remington did not cite his sources or explain his reasoning.

    According to descendant Ann Thompson, Stephen bought land in what is now downtown Pittsburgh, PA. This land, the site of Fort Fayette, was being sold by the federal government, so the deed is signed by President James Madison and Secretary of State James Monroe. Later Stephen & Martha sold this land and the house on it to son Zeri for $1.00.

    Stephen married Rebeckah Watson 1804. Rebeckah (daughter of Alexander Watson and Persis Unknown) was born Abt 1782. [Group Sheet]

    Children:
    1. 13. Zeri Watson Remington  Descendancy chart to this point was born 1806, Litchfield, NY; died Abt 1875, Pittsburgh, PA.

    Stephen married Martha Watson 1820, Pittsburgh, PA. Martha (daughter of Alexander Watson and Persis Unknown) was born Abt 1785, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1860. [Group Sheet]



Generation: 4

  1. 13.  Zeri Watson Remington Descendancy chart to this point (12.Stephen3, 3.John2, 1.Freelove1) was born 1806, Litchfield, NY; died Abt 1875, Pittsburgh, PA.

    Notes:

    Note: the ancestral line of Zeri has not yet been proven -- see accompanying notes for his parents, Stephen & Rebeckah, and grandfather, John.

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Zeri & Eliza are living at Pittsburgh, PA, and with them are their three oldest children. Also in the household is Martha Remington, age 65, b. Vermont. This is probably Zeri's stepmother, who is also his aunt. In the 1860 Federal Census the family is living at Boomer, Pottawattamie Co., IA. Martha is still with them, age 75.

    From the Rootsweb message board, surname Remington: Not sure where Zeri was buried but his first two wives are in Allegheny Cemetery in the same lot with Zeri's father, Stephen (from R. Schroder).

    Zeri married Mary McGowan 16 Jul 1833. Mary was buried , Allegheny Cemetery, Pittsburgh, PA. [Group Sheet]

    Zeri married Jane Hart Between 1834 and 1843. Jane was buried , Allegheny Cemetery, Pittsburgh, PA. [Group Sheet]
