Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Abigail Remington was born Abt May 1743, Jamestown, RI.

    Notes:

    The marriage entry identifies Abigail as d/o Capt. John dec'd and Abigail. However, I have wondered if she might really be a child of Susannah, John's first wife. She is not named as a granddaughter in the will of David Greene.

    Abigail married George Ebenezer Smith 10 Dec 1769, Jamestown, RI. George (son of Ebenezer Smith, Jr. and Dinah Remington) was born Abt 1740; died Abt 1812, Stephentown, Rensselaer Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

  1. 2.  Dinah Smith Descendancy chart to this point (1.Abigail1) was born 4 Jul 1771, RI; died 15 Feb 1860, Alfred, Allegany Co., NY.

    Notes:

    According to a family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect (source Kenneth Linwood Shaw, III), Dinah Smith married three times, to: a Mr. Solomon, by whom she had a daughter Sarah b1795; Anthony Shaw IV (as his third wife) by whom she had eleven children born in New York State between the years 1798 and 1815; and Uriah Goodrich whom she married in 1832.

    According to notes at this site, Dinah's second husband was the same Anthony Shaw who had married her aunt Susannah Remington. This has been confirmed in an email from Sherry Kosciuch.

    Anthony Shaw's will mentions "his wife's daughter Sarah Solomon"; there is no indication as to whether this is her maiden name or her married name.

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Dinah Goodridge, age 80 RI, is living at Alfred, Allegany Co., NY. She is with the Wescott family. There are several Shaw families nearby.

    Dinah married Anthony Shaw, IV 2 Oct 1797, Rensselaer County, NY. Anthony (son of Anthony Shaw III and Susannah Butts) was born 22 Jan 1748/49, RI; died 7 Aug 1820, Stephentown, Rensselaer Co., NY; was buried , Stephentown, Rensselaer Co., NY. [Group Sheet]
