Captain Charles Rhodes

Notes:

The Genealogy of Zachariah Rhodes has Charles's birth date as 29 April 1719. It also says he was a sea captain, and when he retired from the sea he became a Baptist minister.

Charles married Deborah Greene 31 Jan 1738/39, Warwick, RI. Deborah (daughter of Peter Greene and Keziah Davis) was born 4 Feb 1720/21, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I have estimated the birth years of some of the children, based on their dates of marriage.

Waite married Peleg Remington, I 10 Jul 1757, Cranston, RI. Peleg (son of Stephen Remington and Lydia Rhodes) was born 9 May 1736, Warwick, RI; died 9 Jun 1776, At sea; was buried , Historical Cemetery 3, Post Rd., Pawtuxet Village, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Peter was a lieutenant in the US Navy during the Revolution. He, along with his brother Charles, administered his father's estate.

Peter married Esther Hester Arnold 22 Mar 1761, Warwick, RI. Esther (daughter of Simeon Arnold and Lydia Greene) was born 23 Oct 1740, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Charles was 1st Lieutenant of the Pawtuxet Rangers in 1783. He and his brother Peter were administrators of their father's estate.

Notes:

Death notice in the Columbian Centinel of 20 Feb 1819: "Capt. Thomas Remmington, d. in Pawtuxet, aged 61."

RI American, death notice: "Capt. Thomas Remington, d. at Pawtuxet in 61st yr., 15 Feb 1819, a nautical commander, Masonic honors."

According to a local historian, Ginny Leslie, Thomas Remington lived in a house now at 100 Post Rd. in Pawtuxet Village. Elsewhere it has been stated that he lived at 47 Post Rd., but Ms. Leslie states that this is incorrect.

From an email from Ms. Leslie, dated 20 Jan 2010, concerning "a certain house (100 Post Road) . . . According to land evidence records, this is the Thomas Remington House. He bought the land from Malachi and Peter Rhodes. Many years ago, Hazel Kennedy, a local historian, claimed that the house at 47 Post Road was the Thomas Remington house dating from around 1740 but this is NOT TRUE. That is the Peleg Rhodes House and dates to about 1800 (it is obviously a federal house, not a colonial one). Thomas Remington never owned the house and it appears Peleg Rhodes lived there until his death, which was after TR's death in 1819. Unfortunately, people continue to identify this house as Thomas Remington's."

Thomas married Ruth Burlingame 7 Dec 1783, Cranston, RI. Ruth (daughter of Peter Burlingame) was born Abt 15 May 1759; died 15 Aug 1810; was buried , Historical Cemetery 3, Post Rd., Pawtuxet Village, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Nancy married Loudon Lippitt 8 Apr 1781, Cranston, RI. Loudon (son of Christopher Lippitt and Catherine Holden) was born 17 Apr 1756, Cranston, RI; died 18 Aug 1841, Crawford, PA; was buried , Rundell Cemetery, Spring Twp., Crawford Co., PA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Did she later marry Olney Wood?

Her name is sometimes written as Roxana.

Roseanna married Abel Bennett 12 Nov 1782. (son of Samuel Bennett and Margaret Potter) [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Some genealogies have his death month as January, while others say April. The gravestone says April; however, since this was his birth month, it could be a mistake. The age at death supports January as the birth month.

From the records of the First Baptist Church of Providence, RI: Peleg Remington June 27, 1805, E (experience?) Nov. 16, 1806, L (letter?) To Pawtuxet church. (This may or may not have been this particular Peleg)

Peleg may have had a wife named Amy Field between Sally (Unknown) and Mary Tower. Warwick Deaths, Vol. I (at Warwick City Hall) records the death of a John P. Remington on 30 June 1870, age 72, son of Peleg Remington & Amy Field. She may have died in childbirth, after which Peleg married Mary Tower in 1799. I have not been able to discover another Peleg of this time period who could have been the father of John P., but certainly there may have been one (needs more research).

There is also a marriage recorded at Providence's West Side Church: Peleg Remington & Phebe Field, of William, 24 May 1795. This, of course, adds to the confusion, suggesting that perhaps a clerk or informant wrote Amy instead of Phebe in the Warwick death record, as the mother of John P. However, it may have been another Peleg who married Phebe Field, as the Providence Phenix reported the death of a Mrs. Phebe Remington in her 46th year, 4 Feb 1822, at Cranston.

The RI Cemetery Database has his year of birth as c. 1765; Red MacDougall's online family tree at [redfish@netrevolution.com] and at Rootsweb's Worldconnect shows his date of birth as 22 April 1764 (in Pawtuxet); the Roger Williams book says about 1760.

Please read the notes for his four possible (?) wives. This needs further research.

It was not unheard of for a man to be married four times. Benjamin Remington of Cowesett had four wives, and his brother Jonathan (my ancestor) had three. No doubt there are many other examples.

He may be the Peleg Remington who signed a petition to establish a Masonic Lodge at Pawtuxet, 26 Apr 1805, at Col. Bowen's house.

He was probably the Peleg Remington who was a witness in a US Supreme Court case in 1807, Smith v. Carrington:
http://supreme.justia.com/us/8/62/case.html

Peleg married Sally Unknown Abt 1786. Sally was born Jan 1764; died 16 Feb 1792; was buried , Cemetery 79, Holliman Potter Lot, Cranston, RI. [Group Sheet]

Peleg married Lydia Rhodes Abt 1793. Lydia (daughter of Peter Rhodes and Esther Hester Arnold) was born 27 Jul 1765; died Abt 1794. [Group Sheet]

Peleg married Phebe Field 24 May 1795, Providence, RI. Phebe (daughter of William Field, I and Freelove Unknown) was born Abt 1775; died Abt 1798. [Group Sheet]

Peleg married Mary Tower 9 Sep 1799. Mary (daughter of Ichabod Tower and Mary Pullen) was born 22 Oct 1775; died 25 Apr 1872, Pawtuxet, RI; was buried , Historical Cemetery 3, Post Rd., Pawtuxet Village, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Phebe married Benjamin Hunt, Jr. 28 Jul 1783, Cranston, RI. (son of Benjamin Hunt, Sr. and Abijah Hunt) [Group Sheet]

Notes:

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.

On a tombstone erected in memory of Capt. Charles Remington and his two sons is the following inscription: "Tho locked in deathly embrace on foreign shores, and pitying strangers closed their eyes. To mourn their sad and early loss is ours. While fair in Memories page, thy virtues rise. The dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live. To Captain Charles Remington and his two sons Stephen and Charles. John 5-25."

According to descendant Virginia Adair, now deceased, late of Altanta, GA, Charles was named after his grandfather Charles Rhodes. A letter from her states that family tradition "always listed" Charles as a son of Peleg. Also, she refers to some notes of Charles W. Farnham, RI genealogist of past decades, who listed Charles among the children of Peleg & Waite -- but no source noted. There is also reference to a twin named Deborah -- but I have no other information on her. Mrs. Adair also said she had two property deeds recording land transaction between Charles and his brother Peleg, although their relationship is not stated in the documents.

Charles is mentioned as a son of Peleg in an article on Henry Adolphus Remington, Jr., published in "Club and Professional Life in Rhode Island" dated 1895. A copy of this was given to me by Mrs. Dorothy White of the Roger Williams Family Association. The copy has a notation on the front: R. I. Coll. H32?24, R5, C42, v. 21, no. 21 (difficult to read these numbers and letters).

The book "History of Washington and Kent Counties," p. 1296, says Charles Remington came from England, and that he died in 1812. I believe it is incorrect in this information. While interesting and informative reading, the book does have numerous errors.

From a letter to my grandmother from Lalla Remington West, Charles's great-granddaughter: "Captain charles Remington was a sea captain and had his own sailing vessel, and made trips to Africa and China -- went around South America to get to China. He died on one of his trips to Africa and is buried in Sierra Leone, Africa . . . His father Peleg R also died at sea as he was a sea captain, too."

Charles married Mary "Polly" C. Smith 1793. Mary (daughter of Stephen Smith, Jr. and Patience Arnold) was born 6 Nov 1770; died 6 Nov 1842; was buried , Arnold-Pawtuxet Burial Ground, Harrison St., Pawtuxet, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

A handwritten note with a family genealogy says Charles had a twin named Deborah. It may be that this is true, and that the two were named for their maternal grandparents. However, Deborah must have died in infancy. Although I have not found any other evidence of the birth of Deborah, I am including her here on the basis of that note, written by a family member several generations removed. (from materials loaned to me by Dorothy Higson White of the Roger Williams Family Association; original notes written by Virginia Adair, descendant of William Aborn Remington)

Notes:

Benjamin was one of the oldest nautical commanders in Rhode Island at the time of his death. Ay one time he had been captured on a privateer, and was kept prisoner on the "Old Jersey" for nine months.

His death was due to drowning, off Pawtuxet, in Narragansett Bay.

Benjamin — Phebe Burlingame. Phebe was born 20 Jan 1771; died 15 Feb 1857; was buried , Arnold-Pawtuxet Burial Ground, Harrison St., Pawtuxet, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The Rhodes genealogy at RIHSL says that Lydia married a Mr. Remington and had a son Peleg. Her husband was very likely Peleg Remington (but needs more research to confirm). This marriage fits nicely between the death of his first wife and his following marriage.

I am also making an assumption that Lydia died in childbirth or shortly afterward. I have not found any death record or gravestone transcription for her.

Lydia married Peleg Remington, II Abt 1793. Peleg (son of Peleg Remington, I and Waite Rhodes) was born 22 Apr 1764; died Between 17 Jan and Apr 1838, Pawtuxet, RI; was buried , Historical Cemetery 3, Post Rd., Pawtuxet Village, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Arnold — Susannah Hunt. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Peter B. Remington and his brother Peleg were mill operators in Scituate, RI from about 1814/15. The mill manufactured cotton yarn.

I have made an assumption that his middle intial B stands for Burlingame, and that he was named after his maternal grandfather.

Peter married Mary Unknown Abt 1811. Mary was born Abt 1795; died Aft 1 Jun 1850. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Peleg C. Remington and his brother Peter B. were mill operators in Scituate, RI, from about 1814/15 and following. The mill manufactured cotton yarn.

The 1830 Federal Census lists Peleg C. Remington and family living at Scituate, Providence Co., RI.

In the Federal Census of 1850, the family is at Providence, Ward 6, RI: Peleg C. 61, Delany 57, Esther B. 27, Delaney B. 23, Irene G. 21, & Mariah C. 16 (all b RI except Esther b MA). Peleg is a machinist.

In the 1860 Federal Census, Peleg C. & Delaney B. Remington are ages 71 & 66, living in Ward 6, Providence, RI. With them are Ester B., 36, and Irena J., 26. Next door are George & Delaney (Remington) Randall and family.

In the 1870 Federal Census, Peleg is age 82, Delanie is age 77, and Esther is age 46. They are still living at Providence, RI.

There is a large monument in the Pawtuxet Cemetery which has Peleg's name and dates on it. There is also a masonic symbol on it. This monument has been photographed.

Peleg married Delanie Brown Abt 1811. Delanie (daughter of Obadiah Brown and Esther Wood) was born Abt Jul 1793, MA; died 20 Dec 1876; was buried , Pawtuxet Burial Yard, Post Rd., Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

He may have been the Thomas Remington who built the Remington Mill at Rockland Village, Scituate, RI, in 1831. This mill manufactured cotton cloth until the Civil War.

The RI Cemetery Database shows the graves of Thomas, Clarissa, and their son as located in both the Pawtuxet Cemetery in Warwick, and the Pocasset Cemetery in Cranston.

This couple had at least three children who died in infancy: Henry P., b. 1852; and two other babies, one b. 1848 and the other b. 1853.

In the 1860 Federal Census, Thomas P. Remington is age 63, living at Scituate, RI, with Dennis H. Arnold & family. Also in the household are Harriet Remington 13, and Mary Remington 10. I have made an assumption that they are Thomas's daughters.

Thomas married Clarissa Williams Abt 1840. Clarissa was born 2 Jan 1818; died 7 Aug 1853; was buried , Pocasset Cemetery, Cranston, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Her middle name was probably Burlingame.

Notes:

Notes from a descendant, Kim Hoover: "John received his medical diploma in Cooperstown. Then John moved his family to Winnebago County, Illinois. His wife died soon after, and he married again. I'm descended from his second wife. Both of John's wives' first names
were Almira, and both were from New York. John named one of his sons Loudon, and Loudon fought in the Civil War. John had four sons; none of them married or had children that we know of. Two drowned as young boys, the other two died in their 20s."

In the 1850 Federal Census, John W. Lippitt 53 and his second wife Almira 41 are living at Shirland, Winnebago Co., IL. With them are their children Phebe A. 6, John 5, Charles L. 3, and Elbert S. 1. Also in the home are Sabin Warner 14 and Maria Warner 12.

I have estimated John's birth year as 1796.

John married Almira Unknown Abt 1823. Almira was born 1804, NY; died 2 Jun 1841, Winnebago Co., IL. [Group Sheet]

John married Almira Yarrington Abt 1843, Illinois. Almira was born Abt 1809, Chautauqua Co., NY; died 7 Apr 1865, Shirland, Winnebago Co., IL. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The following information has been provided by a descendant, Richard Allen Brownell, Sr.:

Daniel Lippitt's family on the 1850 Spring Township, Crawford Co., PA census shows the following: Family #64=Daniel Lippitt 53 m. born 1797 in Rhode Island, Catherine 48 born 1802 in Vermont, Jane 21 born 1829 in NY, Ann M. 18 born 1832 in NY, William 13 born 1837 in NY, Isaac B. 11 born 1839 in NY. Note: William and Isaac similar names to Catherine Burch's family in Otsego. The next family #65=Lorenzo Lippitt 26 born 1824 in NY, Mary (Ross) Lippitt 21born 1829 in PA, Martha L. Lippitt 2 born 1848 in PA, Louise 4/12 born 1849 in PA.

Daniel married Catherine Burch 27 Sep 1821, Otsego Co., NY. Catherine was born 13 May 1802, VT; died 23 Oct 1875, NH. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The following information is provided by Richard Allen Brownell, Sr.:
I believe that Moses Lippitt is the son of Loudon Lippitt. Moses was born Dec. 8, 1802, Ref: Necrology list of old well-known residents and active businessmen, Otsego Co., US Gen. Web. This fits in with the census data. We now know that Loudon Lippitt had 4 children, not 3, and have identified Moses Lippitt as his probable son.

Nancy married James Price 5 Nov 1801, Warwick, RI. James died , Hocking Co., OH. [Group Sheet]

Peleg married Margaret Bennett 19 May 1808, Warwick, Kent Co., RI. (daughter of David Bennett) [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Important note -- after tentatively placing John P. Remington in this family group, I came across additional information suggesting that he may not belong to this particular Peleg. Warwick records show the death of a John P. Remington on 30 June 1870, age 72, son of Peleg & Amy (Field) Remington. But was it this Peleg, or another one?

A descendant, Gail Gardiner, has supplied information that the Warwick records are incorrect in the name of Peleg's wife and John's mother; according to Gail, she was Amy Fifield, d/o Rev. Moses Fifield. If true, it is highly unlikely that she could have been confused with Phebe Field, as I had previously speculated. (The 1825 will of Freelove Field, wife of William and mother of Phebe, mentions two grandchildren -- Mary & John Remington. Based on that will, plus the marriage record of Phebe Field and Peleg Remington, and John's death record which mentions a father Peleg, I tentatively placed John P. here as that son John, pending further evidence.) This family definitely needs more research. In the meantime, I am leaving John P. Remington and his descendants here until I find which Peleg he belongs to.

According to "The History of Warwick" by Oliver Payson Fuller, p. 199, Rev. Moses Fifield was born 19 Dec 1790 in Unity, NH, and died 19 April 1859. So his daughter could not have been born before 1810 or so. Was there a previous generation that Gail was referring to?

John's will mentions his wife Sarah C., their children, and four grandchildren.

In the Federal Census of 1850, the family is living at Warwick: John P. Remington 51, Sarah C. 39, Ellen M. 15, Amy A. 13, Adaline R. 10, and Florine F. 4.

John married Sarah Cordelia Murray Abt 1830. Sarah (daughter of Anthony Murray and Sally Unknown) was born 12 Aug 1811; died 3 Jan 1876, Warwick, RI; was buried , Howard-Remington Lot, Main Ave., Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Sally married Stephen P. Irwin 19 Jul 1819, Pawtuxet, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Some information on the names of Samuel's wife and children was first obtained from "The Remington Family," compiled by Martha A. Benns, and from Patricia L. Stormo's online data at Rootsweb. I supplemented these sources with some dates from the RI Cemetery Database, census data, and further research.

In the 1850 Federal Census, this family is living at Cranston, RI: Samuel G. (T) 44, Rebecca W. 42, Rebecca P. 13, Samuel T. 8, Peleg R. 6, and Mary 75 (Samuel's mother).

In 1880 they are still at Cranston, in Pawtuxet Village. Samuel & Rebecca are 75 & 72; with them are Peleg & Emma.

From the Providence Journal, Monday AM, 11 Oct 1880: "In Pawtuxet on the 10th inst., Captain Samuel T. Remington, in the 75th year of his age. Funeral at the church on Wednesday, 13th inst., at 1 o'clock. Relatives and friends invited."

Samuel married Rebecca W. Potter 9 Oct 1828. Rebecca (daughter of William Anson Potter and Sarah Unknown) was born 13 Jan 1808; died 3 Mar 1887, RI; was buried , Historical Cemetery 3, Post Rd., Pawtuxet Village, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Mary married Washington A. J. Wilkinson 24 Jan 1833. Washington (son of Simeon Wilkinson and Elizabeth Jenks) was born 7 Oct 1804, RI; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Waitey married George William Brown 1832, Pawtuxet, RI. George was born 7 Jul 1809, Dighton, MA; died 16 Feb 1864, New York, NY. [Group Sheet]

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. 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.)

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. Remington (w/o Horatio).

Henry married Sarah "Sally" Ann Arnold 22 Dec 1825, Coventry, RI. Sarah (daughter of Sion Arnold and Phebe Arnold) was born 5 Oct 1803, Scituate, RI; died 22 Feb 1893, Providence, RI; was buried , Pocasset Cemetery, Cranston, RI. [Group Sheet]

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.
