Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Captain Peleg Remington, II 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.

    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:

    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]

    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.

    Notes:

    Mary is named as the wife of John Browning in her father's will. However, the gravestone data from the RI Cemetery Database names her as Mary J. Williams, w/o Frank A..

    In the 1880 Federal Census at Warwick, RI, there is a Mary J. Browning, age 28 b. RI, a widowed dressmaker, living with her two sons: John L. 7 and William H. 4. Also with them are Alma W. Browning, widowed mother-in-law, and two other individuals: Irving Howard 19 RI, and William Potter 16 RI.

    This is probably Mary, daughter of John & Sarah.

    Notes:

    In the 1880 Federal Census, this couple is at Cranston, RI, with a mother-in-law, Abby Burrows, age 60.

    In 1920, Samuel T. Remington is age 78, a widower, and is living at the State Hospital for Mental Diseases in Cranston, RI.

    Samuel married Emily Collins 21 Feb 1869, RI. Emily (daughter of Abby Unknown) was born 10 May 1833, RI; died 1 Sep 1887; was buried , Arnold-Pawtuxet Burial Yard, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]


  11. 19.  Peleg Rhodes Remington Descendancy chart to this point (6.Samuel2, 1.Peleg1) was born 28 Jun 1844; died 6 Feb 1900, RI.

    Notes:

    In the 1880 Federal Census, Peleg R. Remington is age 37 and single, living with his parents and sister in Cranston, RI.

    He may be the Peleg Remington, age 30, b RI, a lodger/clerk in store, living at San Francisco, CA, in the 1880 Federal Census. However, Peleg R. Remington, age 37, is listed with his parents in 1880, living at Cranston, RI; so, unless he had gone to CA and was counted/listed twice, the one in CA must be a different one (?). There are no other Peleg Remingtons listed in later censuses, that I could find.
