  3. 12.  DeWitt Clinton Remington, Jr. Descendancy chart to this point (9.DeWitt2, 1.John1) was born 30 Apr 1842, Burrilville, RI; died 5 Jan 1908; was buried , Chepachet Cemetery, Putnam Pike, Glocester, RI.

    Notes:

    This family group is in the 1880 Federal Census at Burrillville, Providence, RI (his name is trancsribed at "familysearch.com" as Dant C. Remington). DeWitt's mother-in-law Charlotte Harris is also with them. They are next door to DeWitt's half-brother Clarence, who was soon to die.

  6. 15.  Clarence Sydney Remington Descendancy chart to this point (9.DeWitt2, 1.John1) was born 1 Sep 1852, RI; died 11 Jun 1880, At sea; was buried , Historical Cemetery 26, Burrillville, RI.

    Notes:

    M. Benns has his names as Charles instead of Clarence.

    This couple is in the 1880 Federal Census at Burrillville, Providence, RI, next door to half-brother DeWitt & family. Clarence's occupation is listed as "country store." He must have died shortly after the census was taken.

    According to the RI Cemetery Database, his gravestone says: "Was lost from the steamer Narragansett."

    In the "Pawtuxet Valley Gleaner" 21 Aug 1880: "The body of Clarence S. Remington who was lost from the steamer Narragansett on the night of the disaster, has been washed ashore on Fisher's Island." (from Andrew Boisvert)

    The records of the North Scituate Baptist Church must be somewhat in error. There it says: "Drowned in the Stonington disaster on Long Island Sound 24 July 1870." Either they got the date wrong, or were thinking of a different catastrophe.

    This little family went through so much heartache. In 1880 two of their children died, followed by Clarence, the husband and father, in the steamship disaster. They may have had two other children who died in infancy, as indicated by two nearby gravestones: Roy & Flossie.

    Clarence married Susan "Susie" E. Brooks 28 Jul 1872, RI. Susan was born Abt 1854, RI. [Group Sheet]
