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.)

I am making an assumption that this John Remington belongs in this family group, solely based on the names and dates of his children. (But note: this needs further research. At the present time I can not see any other family in which he would fit.)

Some of John's descendants -- as far as can be determined -- are buried in the Blackstone Cemetery, Blackstone, MA. A stone there refers to John Remington 1680 - 1745. But if this John who married Mary is the son of John b1680, why do the names of his children reflect the ancestry of Gershom & Clemence?

BSR says he moved from Jamestown in 1756.

This note may pertain to this John Remington: Newport Mercury 30 Oct 1915, historical note from 31 Jul 1769 - "John Remington carries on shoe making for Elizabeth Mumford, wido, in New Lane."

BSR has his date of death as 06 December 1809.

John married Mary Unknown Abt 1748, Jamestown, RI. Mary was born Abt 9 Apr 1725; died 30 Mar 1808, Newport, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The birth record at Jamestown identifies him as son of John & Mary Remington.

I am not positive that his marriage and data belongs to this Jonathan, but I am making an assumption, subject to further research. The will abstract is in the RI Genealogical Register, Vol. 7, No. 1. It identifies him as a mariner of Newport, and mentions his wife by name. No other family members are mentioned.

This must be correct because the Family Bible Record of Clemence (Remington) Cornell has this as his date of death. (Bible record courtesy of David Gips) However, her birth date for Jonathan is 10 Feb 1749, which differs from the town records.

Jonathan married Sarah Unknown Abt 1775. Sarah was born Abt 1752; died 11 Dec 1815, Newport, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The birth record at Jamestown identifies her as daughter of John & Mary Remington.

BSR says that on 22 Sept 1777, Dinah was granted permission by the Council of War to proceed in a flag of truce to the island of Jamestown, under direction of Col. Dyer.

Notes:

The birth record at Jamestown identifies her as daughter of John & Mary Remington.

I am not positive that this is the Catharine/Catherine Remington who married Elisha Tew, but based on approximate age and location it seems a reasonable assumption.

See "The History of the Descendants of Elder John Strong," Volume 2, by Benjamin Woodbridge Dwight, p. 1397 (Google Books).

Catherine — Elisha Tew. Elisha (son of William Tew and Jane Carr) was born Abt 1755. [Group Sheet]

Benedict was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. According to BSR, he lived in Newport and Smithfield, RI.

His place of birth, Jamestown, was obtained from the death record of his son John. His marriage record in 1780 identifies him as being of Smithfield, and son of John & Mary, of Jamestown.

In the Federal Census of 1800, "Benedic Remmington" is listed in the 2nd Parish at Mendon, Worcester Co., MA.

RI American of 21 Dec 1819, death notice: "Remington, Benedict, at Pawtuxet, in 64th yr." (Did he die at Mendon, MA, or Pawtuxet, RI? I think he probably died in Mendon, MA, and that the newspaper was in error -- needs more research to confirm.)

The Battey Family Papers give his date of death as 9 Dec 1819.

Benedict married Ruth Southwick 5 Oct 1780, Smithfield, RI. Ruth (daughter of Daniel Southwick, III and Ruth Mussey) was born 20 Mar 1755, Mendon, MA; died 10 Jun 1813, Mendon, MA. [Group Sheet]

His middle name was probably Hull.

Tiddeman Remington witnessed the will of Joseph Mitchell, 11 May 1784 at Newport.

Although in the past I was not sure that Tiddeman belonged in this family group, Clemence (Remington) Cornell's family Bible record places Tiddeman in this family, along with his 7 siblings.

I first placed him here because of a number of factors. First of all, his Rev. War pension file states his date and location of birth, and they could place him here in this family. The file also has a reference to a John Remington of Jamestown, RI, although the relationship is not stated. Furthermore, the names of some of his children suggest a relationship to Gershom & Clemence Remington, parents of John. His own name suggests a relationship to Tiddeman Hull. There were at least three individuals with that name, and I believe all were descended from John Hull, Sr. & Alice Tiddeman. Perhaps his mother's maiden name was Hull, or even Tiddeman. There was a Mary Hull at Jamestown of the correct age to be his mother; she was a daughter of Tiddeman Hull b.1682. Lastly, Tiddeman H. Remington lived for a time in Mendon, MA, and Benedict Remington (who I suppose was his brother) also did. (This family needs more research.)

Tiddeman H. Remington enlisted in RI as a Private in the Revolution. (Pvt. RI PNSR)

His pension file is difficult to read. From what I can decipher, as of 1831/32 Tiddeman was "of Newport"; Sept 1832 he was of Mendon, MA, when he appeared in court at Newport; he went to MA as of 4 Mar 1838; had also lived in Brooklyn, MA, for 3 years. His truthfulness was sworn to by John Remington and Ebenezer Carr of Jamestown, RI.

Tiddeman was brought up in Jamestown, and moved to MA in 1822. In the 1830 Federal Census, Tiddeman is residing at Mendon, Worcester County, MA. It was there that he applied for a Revolutionary War Pension on 14 Sep 1832. The DAR Patriot Index says he died in 1843 in MA; the Mendon, MA, records say he died in 1842, no specific date, and that he was a Pensioner: "Tideman Remington died of Old age ____ 1842 Aged 88 years Husbandman & a pentioner."

From David Gips: "There is a death citation for Tiddeman Remington in the Massachusetts Spy (Worcester) 1 Mar 1843: 'In Mendon (Blackstone village) Feb 16th Mr. Tideman (sic) Remington, a Revolutionary pensioner, formerly of Jamestown, RI 83.' "

Tiddeman married Elizabeth Sheffield Abt 1786. Elizabeth was born Abt 1765; died 16 Aug 1838, Mendon, MA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I obtained Clemence's date of birth from her family Bible record, now at Hanover College Libray in PA.

The marriage of Clemence Remington & Clarke Cornell took place at Newport, which is close to Jamestown, where this family lived. BSR says John died at Newport.

Gershom Remington died 15 July 1790
Clarke Cornell died 25 July 1800 aged 37
John Cornell died 28 July 1791 aged 1 month 28 days (so he was born in June)
John Cornell died 14 Aug 1795 aged 1 month 7 days (which would make him born in July but the birth record clearly reads June)
Clarke Cornell died 23 Aug 1797 aged 1 day and 7 hours (which makes no sense given his birth date)
Jonathan Paston Cornell died 11 Aug 1800 aged 5 months
All of this is in the same handwriting (presumably Clemence's) and at the end in another handwriting
Clemence Cornell died 12 Jan 1838 aged 71 years 8 months and 26 days
There was no mention of any marriages.

Clemence married Clarke Cornell 10 Jul 1787, Newport, RI. Clarke was born 22 Aug 1763, Portsmouth, RI; died 25 Jul 1800. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

They may be the John & Sarah Remington, ages 28 & 27, living at Augusta, Kennebec Co., ME, in 1860.

In the 1870 Federal Census, John & Sarah are both aged 38 and are living at Waltham, Middlesex Co., MA. They have two sons: John, 8, and Ernest, 5, both born in Maine. Also with them is Mary Remington, 45 MA, probably John's sister.

By 1880 John is living at Nances, Muscogee Co., GA. He has another wife, so probably Sarah has died.

Is he the William B. Remington who married Martha E. Thompson in RI on 19 Nov 1863? (She was b c1827, d 10 Aug 1873 RIDI) But see information below, from A. B. Gerard.

The Northbridge, MA, VRs transcribed at NEGS web site have his dob as 3 Sep 1827. However, this seems too close to his sister Elizabeth -- unless one of their dates is incorrect. Or, they may have been twins born three months apart -- a possibility .

From A. B. Gerard on Remington message board at ancestry: "Benedict Remington and Mary Cathcart's son, William Benedict Remington, ended up in Kansas. There are military records of his enlistment from Whitinsville, Northbridge, MA. He served at a few forts in Texas that protected the Overland Mail Route and then upon discharge moved to Kansas in the late 1850s. He died there sometime before 1880.
