  1. 2.  David Southwick Descendancy chart to this point (1.Ruth1) was born 27 Sep 1743, Mendon, MA; died 19 May 1746, Mendon, MA.

    Notes:

    David was born the 27th of 9th month 1743, but I think all the family births were recorded at one time, after the calendar switch to Gregorian. So, the 9th month would be September with the new calendar.


  2. 3.  Elisabeth Southwick Descendancy chart to this point (1.Ruth1) was born 29 Mar 1746.

    Notes:

    The family births were recorded all at one time after the change to the Gregorian calendar, so I am assuming the 3rd month means March.

    Notes:

    (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.)
    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. The household consists of: John Remington 48 MA (works in cotton mill), Frances 39 GA (his wife), John Remington 17 ME (son - clerk in grocery store), William Remington 21 MA (works in cotton mill-- not sure who he is), James Bostwick 18 MA (brother-in-law, works in cotton mill), Ella Bostwick 49 (boarder), and Mary Heard 39 GA (boarder).

    In 1900 John Remington is 68 and living in Ward 6, Columbus, Muscogee Co., GA. Frances is age 49, but probably it should read 59. Also, it says they have been married 17 years, but that does not seem right either. They are with his son John and family.

    Notes:

    In the 1850 Federal Census, James & Lucy are living at Northbridge, Worcester Co., MA. I don't see that their son is with them, so perhaps he died young.

    In 1870 James C. & Lucy are still there, and James is a saloon keeper. In the household are two young women, Minnie Graves 18 NY & Louisa Rockwood 24 MA.

    James's birth is recorded at Northbridge, but was at Mendon.

    James married Lucy Munyon Prentice 7 May 1840, Milbury, MA. Lucy (daughter of Ezra Munyon and Sarah Knapp) was born Between 1818 and 1821, VT; died 3 Sep 1897. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    In 1850, William Remington is age 22, working as a machinist at Northbridge, MA.

    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. He married a woman named Julia Ann Johnson of Arkansas. They had at least two children, Mary Frances Remington (wife of Alexander Mills) and John Remington."
