John Remington

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.)

John was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Boyd Scott Remington's ancestry chart has his year of death as 1847. I have not verified the date of death, but the National Archives would have the date of his last pension payment. The Frederick C. King Papers at Newport Historical Society in Newport, RI, give John's date of death as c14 Nov 1847.

The DAR Patriot Index has his date of death as 11 Nov 1849; according to Frederick C. King, researcher (see above note), this is in error (see his Remington family manuscript at Newport Historical Society).

BSR's chart lists two more children for John: Edward & Samuel (but no dates, no sources, and no other evidence). BSR's chart is known to have numerous errors.

In the Jamestown Town Records, there are many references to a John Remington of this time period being a Representative from Jamestown to the General Assembly, member of the Town Council, Overseer of the Poor, Town Sergeant, Town and Council Clerk, Tax Collector, and Warden of the Peace. Brief descriptions and dates for these records are indexed online through the Jamestown Historical Society.

In the Federal Census of 1840, John Remington was a Revolutionary War Pensioner, age 79, residing at Jamestown with George Weeden.

In a letter dated 4 Nov 1838 written by his son Benjamin E. Remington, John is mentioned: "father is smart for an old man as can be expected." He would have been age 77. (source: "Lydia's Letters, 10 More" compiled by Margie Brown and Virginia Remington Rich)

The following is excerpted from his son John's Revolutionary War Pension File, transcribed and provided by descendant Pam Amari: "He in the month of November 1777 belonged to a company of militia in the town of Pomfret, in the county of Windham and state of Connecticut . . . was drafted from said company of militia for term of two months and was marched to New London under Captain Evans of said company . . . After having served out the term of two months for which he was drafted he was discharged and returned home. Again in the month of May 1778 he was drafted from said company's militia for two months and was marched to New London where he was stationed as before in the public service to guard said town from attacks of the enemy. He was in this draft under the command of Captain Evans . . . Again in the summer of 1779 and he thinks in August he was drafted from said company of militia for the term of two months [and as before went] to New London under Captain Evans of said company where he was in the public service . . . At another time, but before or after this last aforementioned service there was a general alarm and the whole of the brigade of militia was ordered out to repel the attack and the marching for New London under the command of General McClaminen who then commanded the brigade of militia, to which your declarant belonged. When after they had marched about ten miles towards New London, received counter orders and we were ordered and we were marched back and discharged at this time all of the officers of our company were ordered out as were also all of the soldiers of said company of militia, to which your declarant belonged . . . And the said Remington [remembers] that he truly and faithfully served his county in the war of the revolution in the months for the full time, aforesaid, making in all between six and seven months he does not recollect any continental or militia regiments except as afore stated. And he further declares that he was born in said Jamestown on the 21st day of October 1761 when he continued to reside with his father until his said father was compelled to leave the state of Conanicut in the month of September 1775 in consignment ? of the continued attacks of the enemys armed vessels in Narragansett Bay under the command of notorious Wallace. He then with his father's family removed to South Kingston on the west side of the bay. His father's house was burned by said Wallace in the month of November following about two months after removal as aforesaid. He lived in South Kingston till March 1776 when he removed with his father to the town of Estes in said state of Rhode Island and then rented till 1777 when he removed with his father's family to said Pomfret in the state of Connecticut where he lived when he was called into service. As aforesaid in March 1780 after the army has evacuated the neighboring island of Rhode Island in Narragansett Bay. He removed back with his father's family to the ruins of the estate in the island of Conanicut which conform the 3rd town of Jamestown where he has ever since lived . . . "

This gives us an idea of how and where the family had to relocate during the war.

John married Phebe R. Carr 27 Nov 1783, Jamestown, Newport Co., RI. Phebe (daughter of James Carr and Sarah Tew) was born Between 10 and 14 Nov 1760, Jamestown, Newport Co., RI; died 7 Feb 1831, Jamestown, Newport Co., RI; was buried , Town Cemetery, Jamestown, RI. [Group Sheet]

Sarah married George Armstrong, Jr. 21 Feb 1805, Jamestown, RI. George was born 26 Feb 1785; died 11 Oct 1876; was buried , Town Cemetery, Jamestown, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Oliver M. Remington married Sarah and moved from Tiverton, RI, to Ohio about 1813/14, among the first settlers to live in New Castle, Coshocton County, OH. He was a school teacher, and later moved to Holmes County, c.1820/21. His brother Peter also moved to Ohio.

In the 1850 Federal Census, the family is at Richland, Holmes, OH. Oliver is 62, Sarah is 57; sons John, Thomas, & Lyman are in the household.

"One of the earliest schools in the township, in all probability the first, was held in the cabin that had been occupied by Isaac Butler, in the western part of the township. The children of the Butlers, Darlings and others attended here. In 1814 or 1815, it was taught by Oliver Remington, from Rhode Island, a well educated, intelligent man. He was a brother-in-law to Squire Humphrey, of New Castle township, and remained here only two or three years, removing to Hotmes county." (http://www.heritagepursuit.com/Coshocton/cofile4.htm)

Oliver married Sarah Sally Humphrey 8 Dec 1811, Tiverton, RI. Sarah (daughter of William Humphrey, Sr. and Lydia Munroe) was born 25 Dec 1792, Tiverton, Newport Co., RI; died 20 Oct 1863, Holmes County, Ohio; was buried , Remington Family Cemetery, Holmes Co., OH. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Peter moved westward and first settled in New Castle, Ohio. "He taught one term of school, and had mathematical ability" (source: Remington manuscript).

I have discovered what I believe to be his family in the 1850 census, so I am placing them here based on my assumption and data from various censuses which supports this assumption. See notes for Susanna.

Further research has confirmed that this indeed is Peter's family, based on DAR membership #750866.

Peter married Susanna L. Ames 27 Mar 1817. Susanna was born 7 Oct 1796, PA; died 1880, Bridgeton, Parke Co., IN. [Group Sheet]

In the 1850 Federal Census, Benjamin & Mary Remington are living at Middletown, Newport Co., RI. Three other individuals are in the household with them, including Tripheny Peckham, age 89, Mary's mother. Several other Peckham families are living nearby.

"Benny E." is the writer of several letters published in "Lydia's Letters." His letters show him to be a "doting uncle and loving brother," in the words of Pam (Amari) Rich.

Benjamin E. Remington is mentioned several times in the Jamestown Town Records, indexed online at the Jamestown Historical Society. One example is the following:

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Susannah G. Wilcox is age 50, living at Jamestown, RI, with the family of John W. & Abby H. Potter and their two young children. I think Abby may be Susannah's daughter (see note below).

From Jamestown records: Susanna G. Remington daughter of John & Phebe born July 9, 1798.

Her gravestone identifies her as Susan G. Wilcox, daughter of John & Phebe R. Remington.

Does this birth record refer to her daughter? "REMINGTON Abby Howland, of Sukey, April 30, 1821." (Jamestown births)

Baptism: "REMINGTON Abby Howland, bapt. by pouring Oct. 11, 1835" (Communicant, Westerly)

Also, this entry: "REMINGTON Abby, April 13, 1836" (Confirmation, Westerly)

From Ray Moot:
"J. W. REMINGTON, an enterprising business man of Garden City, Missouri is a native of Indiana. He was born in Park (sic) County, Indiana in 1860 son of Elisha and Samantha Denman Remington, the latter a native of Parke County. Elisha Remington was born near Coshocton, Ohio. To Elisha and Samantha Denman Remington 8 children were born: Mrs. Ruth A. Gilkerson, Garden City, Missouri; Isaac, Park County; JW subject of this review; Mrs. Laura Crooks, Topeka, Kansas; Fred, Park County; and two babes died in infancy. By a second marriage of Elisha Remington to Mary Cahill, two children were born: Mrs. Lydia Green and Benjamin Remington. Both live in Parke County. J. W. Remington received his education in the common schools of Indiana but when a youth of 19 came to Cass County, Missouri in 1879. Mr. Remington located in Camp Branch Township where he engaged in farming. In 1883 JW Remington and Rosa E. Crooks, daughter of Rev J. M. and Sarah Thompson Crooks were united in marriage. Rev. JM Crooke (sic) is one of the brave, old pioneers of Cass County. He located 3 miles west of the present site of Garden City in Camp Branch Township and here Sarah Thompson Crooks was called away in 1884. Rev. Crooks resides in Topeka, Kansas. Mr. and Mrs. Remington are the parents of 3 living children: C. C. resident of Garden City, Missouri and mail carrier on RR 2, succeeding his father; C. F. jeweler of Garden City Missouri and Geneva, wife of A. L. Spry of Garden City. Until 1902, Mr. Remington continued his agricultural pursuits in Camp Branch. At that time he was appointed mail carrier on RR 2, out of Garden City. Since 1910 he has been engaged in Garden City in the grain, feed and ice business. In 1911 Mr. Remington was elected assessor for Index Township, a position of trust which he was very ably filled for the past six years, his term expiring in March 1917. At the present writing Mr. Remington is also the tax collector for Garden City. Mr. and Ms. Remington have made their home in Garden City for 14 years. The present site of this city was but a short time ago fields of waving wheat. Mr. Remington has threshed wheat in those fields many times drank water from a well located upon the lot now owned by himself. He has a fund of interesting reminiscences of those days gone by. Dozens of trips he made hauling coal from Rich Hill, the trip requiring two days and a night. He recalls that one night the men had encamped on Deer Creek. A sheet, thrown over the tongue of the wagon was their only cover. IN the early morning they were awakened by a feeling of bitter cold. 4" snow had fallen during the night. JW Remington is a man of courtly manners and splendid mental attainments. During their residence in the county he and Mrs. Remington have gained the respect and esteem of all, making countless friends. JW Remington has been true to every trust reposed in him. Public-spirited and noble hearted he is a power for good in his community."
