  1. 1.  David G. Remington was born Abt Dec 1812, Tiverton, Newport Co., RI; died 26 Apr 1849, New Bedford, Bristol County, MA; was buried , Rural Cemetery, New Bedford, MA.

    Notes:

    Online whaling crew lists show David Remington, able seaman, going on a voyage 20 June 1842, ship Hibernia. Also listed twice is David G. Remington, on ship Persia 19 July 1843, a seaman; and on ship Golconda 23 Oct 1844, a cooper. In addition, microfilm lists show David, b. Tiverton, going out three times between 1829 and 1836. Is David G. "our" David? Most likely - and it looks as if he took a break to get married and conceive at least one child (marriage July 1839, child born Dec 1842).

    The death record says he died at age 35, and gives his birthplace as Tiverton. The original death record (image online at newenglandancestors.org) does not name his parents. However, a microfilm record at New Bedford Public Library names his parents as David G. & Angeline Remington. That must be incorrect because clearly those are the names of him and his wife, as far as can be determined. It was probably a clerk's error, or informant's error. They were married in 1839, had one child, and then he died of consumption in 1849.

    Other supporting evidence -- David Remington is listed for New Bedford in the 1840 census, with one male 20-30 and one female 20-30. He is not there in the 1850 census, but his wife and child are there -- Angeline & Mary C. Remington -- ages 29 and 7, living with H.(?) & Harriet Butler, along with an infant named John Sonchoe (?).

    Further evidence is that David is buried in the same family plot in New Bedford as Alice (Grinnell) Remington and other family members.

    There is a remote chance that there were two David Remingtons the same age who were New Bedford whalers at the same time -- but I will check further to eliminate that as a possibility. (So far no evidence of that.)

    David married Angeline Slocum 11 Jul 1839, New Bedford, MA. Angeline (daughter of Waldo Slocum and Rhoby Smith) was born 15 Aug 1820, Dartmouth, MA; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]
