    Also, an earlier deed dated 31 Dec 1742 identifies Lydia as "Lydia Remington, formerly Rhodes, daughter of Peleg Rhoads."

    The following is from the notes of Mary E. Rice, concerning a document in Cranston land evidence: "This proves that Lydia Rhodes was d/o Peleg and she married as first wife Stephen Remington, he married 2nd Mercy Fenner" . . . The deed reads "I, Lidia Remington, & Stephen Remington . . . deed to Christopher Sheldon, of Providence, mariner, the house and lot/land in Pawtuxet where we now dwell, near to the Pawtuxet Bridge." It mentions a bordering lot formerly laid out by Peleg Rhodes, deceased . . .

  2. 6.  Matthew Remington Descendancy chart to this point (3.Lydia2, 1.Peleg1) was born Between 1721 and 1727; died 1784.

    Notes:

    According to the Remington chart by Boyd Scott Remington at RIHSL, this Matthew Remington was Captain of the 1st Cranston Company in 1763. Genealogist Martha A. Benns' book "Remington Family" has this Matthew (who married Martha Randall) as a son of Thomas & Mary (Allen) Remington; a Matthew is named in Thomas's will. However, it seems more likely that the earlier Matthew married Hepsibah Blackington (please see the notes for the other Matthew, who was "of Warwick"). An online genealogy has no parents noted for this one, but has his birth date as 12 September 1724 (source noted is "Descendants of William Randall") -- needs further research.

    He is possibly the Mathew Rimenton listed as a resident of Coventry in the RI 1774 census (1 WM>16, 4 WM<16, 2 WF>16, 2 WF<16); also the Matthew Remmington 16 - 50 A, listed at West Greenwich, RI, in the 1777 RI Military Census.

    The 1774 census data suggests that Matthew may have had four sons (?) born before 1774 in addition to two daughhters.

    If this marriage to Martha Randall is a third marriage for the "other" Matthew, s/o Thomas & Mary (Allen) Remington, then we might conclude that Peleg did not have a brother Matthew (?). Genealogists differ on this. However, a note within parentheses in the genealogy entitled "John Remington of Massachusetts" in the possession of the Roger Williams Family Association (from Mrs. Adair), says that Peleg "and his brother left home when their father married a second time." This is evidence that Peleg did have a brother.

    Matthew married Martha Randall 26 Dec 1755, Providence, RI. Martha (daughter of John Randall and Martha Williams) was born Abt 18 Mar 1724/25; died Between 1808 and 1809. [Group Sheet]

    2. 17. Abigail Remington  Descendancy chart to this point was born Abt 1773.

  3. 7.  Peleg Remington, I Descendancy chart to this point (3.Lydia2, 1.Peleg1) was born 9 May 1736, Warwick, RI; died 9 Jun 1776, At sea; was buried , Historical Cemetery 3, Post Rd., Pawtuxet Village, Warwick, RI.

    Notes:

    "Descendants of Roger Williams" Book I, p. 153 says Peleg was lost at sea in 1776. There is a single gravestone in Pawtuxet Cemetery (WK #3) for him and his wife Waite Remington. This has been photographed for my collection.

    Information from Richard Allen Brownell, Sr.:
    Peleg's specific dates of birth and death were received in an email from Mr. Brownell.
    Peleg Remington was captain of a vessel in the Maritime Service and took the Oath of Allegiance to the Colonies in 1775.

    He is likely one of the two Peleg Remingtons listed for Warwick in the 1774 RI Census.

    A typewritten Remington genealogy given to Mrs. Dorothy White of the Roger Williams Family Association shows Peleg as a son of Stephen Remington & Lydia Rhodes. No specific documentation is provided.

    A note in the papers of the Mary E. Rice Collection, excerpted from a copy of a letter written by Mrs. Rice to Virginia Adair, a descendant of Peleg Remington: "Dear Mrs. Adair, I have found that Peleg Remington is the son of Stephen & (guess what) a Lydia Rhodes. I will continue to check this . . . "

    Peleg married Waite Rhodes 10 Jul 1757, Cranston, RI. Waite (daughter of Charles Rhodes and Deborah Greene) was born 25 Aug 1740, Warwick, RI; died 25 Oct 1810, Pawtuxet, Warwick, RI; was buried , Historical Cemetery 3, Post Rd., Pawtuxet Village, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

  9. 13.  Thomas Arnold Descendancy chart to this point (4.Mary2, 1.Peleg1) was born 1740, Warwick, RI; died Abt Sep 1813, Warwick, RI.

    Notes:

    I don't know whether Thomas belongs to these parents, but I am placing him here temporarily, pending further research. It is very possible that he belongs here, because his daughter named two sons Israel and Arnold; and, he is in the right time frame. However, he isn't mentioned in the will of Israel.

    The book "Descendants of Roger Williams" Book III, Sayles Line, p. 305 & 306, shows the Thomas who married Frances Haynes as a son of William & Phebe (Stafford) Arnold. However, that Thomas seems quite clearly to be the one who married Sarah Pierce and is buried in East Greenwich. His dates are 26 Oct 1740 - 8 May 1821.

    The will of Thomas Arnold, of Warwick, yeoman alias cooper, is dated 15 June 1812 and proved 21 Sep 1813. It mentions wife Frances; sons Josiah, Hanes, Richard, Benedict, and Thomas; daughters Amey Remington, Caty Hathaway, and Nancy Arnold single.

    Thomas married Frances Haynes 1 Jun 1761, Warwick, RI. Frances (daughter of Josiah Haynes and Ann Low) was born 1736. [Group Sheet]

  5. 18.  Thomas Remington Descendancy chart to this point (7.Peleg3, 3.Lydia2, 1.Peleg1) was born 26 Sep 1758; died 15 Feb 1819, Pawtuxet, RI; was buried , Historical Cemetery 3, Post Rd., Pawtuxet Village, Warwick, RI.

    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."

    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:

    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)
