Roby Warner

Notes:

Roby's parents were "of Cranston."

Roby married Caleb Remington, Sr. Abt 1776. Caleb (son of Joshua Remington and Elizabeth King) was born 16 Sep 1747, Johnston, RI; died Between Feb and Sep 1836, Johnston, RI; was buried , Historical Cemetery 27, Remington Lot, Central Ave., Johnston, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

He may be the John Remington listed in the 1800 Federal Census at Johnston, RI. If so, I cannot account for the individuals in the household, as there appears to be an extra girl (3 under 10) and a boy age 10 - 15.

He appears to be the John Remington living in Gloucester, Providence Co., RI, in the 1810 census: 1 male under 10 (William), 1 male 16-25 (?), 1 male 26-44 (John), 3 females under 10 (Susan, Sarah, Harriet), 2 females 10-15 (Lydia, Phebe), and 1 female 26-44 (wife Sarah). He is listed next to Caleb Remington.

John married Sarah "Sally" Paine 28 Aug 1796, Johnston, RI. Sarah (daughter of Joseph Paine and Prudence Bussey) was born 19 Jun 1775; died 28 Aug 1830; was buried , Historical Cemetery 27, Johnston, RI. [Group Sheet]

Waity married Reuben Mathewson 16 Apr 1800. Reuben was born 1776; died 9 Jun 1842; was buried , Capt. Reuben Mathewson Lot, Hist. Cem. 33, Simmonsville Ave., Johnston, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The RI Cemetery Database has his middle initial as H, and his year of birth as c1789. Boyd Scott Remington has the middle initial as M, and the year of birth as 1779.

Notes:

According to Caleb's gravestone, he died in his 66th year on 4 Oct 1849. However, he is age 66 in the June 1850 Federal Census.

In the 1850 Census, the Remmington household is as follows: Caleb 66 RI Machinist, Joannah L. 50 RI, John 27 RI Machine Printery (?), Andrew 25 RI (same occupation), Caleb 24 RI Laborer, Benjamin 22 RI Laborer, Christopher 17 RI Laborer, Joannah 14 RI, Joseph R. Mathewson 14 RI (probably Caleb's grand-nephew), Abraham Bennette 33 RI Farmer, and Zilpha Bennette 22 RI.

I am wondering if his marriage to Joanna was a second marriage for Caleb. I have found a William Remington born c 1808 in Foster, RI, to Caleb & Vesta Remington. He is living in Sturbridge, MA, with his family in 1850 - 1880, and died there in 1880. The death record names his parents. Since Caleb's brother William died in 1807, he may have named a son after him. Perhaps Vesta died and Caleb remarried (?).

Although I am not positive that this refers to this Caleb, the 1810 census lists the household of Caleb Remington 2nd living in Gloucester, Providence Co., RI, as follows: 2 males under 10, 1 male 26-44 (Caleb), 2 females under 10, 2 females 10-15, and 1 female 26-44. If this is indeed a first marriage, possibly to Vesta, they may have had at least 2 daughters and two sons born between 1800 and 1810. The two older girls could be other relatives (?).

The 1810 census at Glocester also lists Caleb, here as Caleb Remington Jr., with household as follows: 1 free white male 16-18, 1 free white male 16-26 including family heads, 1 free white male 26-45, and 1 free white male 45+; and 1 free white female 16-26. This seems to show that Caleb has a young wife, as his wife in 1810 was age 26-44. Assuming this is the same Caleb as in 1810, where are the daughters? Is there one son, or two, still in the household?

Adeline was born in Oct 1820, presumably after this census was taken, dated Aug.

In 1830 Caleb Remington Jr. is listed at Johnston: 2 males under 5 (Benjamin & Caleb), 2 males 5-10 (John & Andrew), 1 male 30-40 (possible a nephew, Caleb B. or William W.), 1 male 40-50 (Caleb), 1 male 80-90 (father Caleb Sr.), 1 female 5-10 (Adeline), and 1 female 30-40 (wife Joanna). They are listed next to widowed sister Sarah Remington as head of her household; see notes for her.

Caleb married Joanna LeValley 25 Nov 1819, Johnston, Providence Co., RI. Joanna (daughter of Caleb LeValley and Alice Fenner) was born Abt 8 Oct 1799; died 6 May 1876, Johnston, RI; was buried , Caleb Remington Lot, Historical Cemetery 32, Scituate Ave., Johnston, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I have estimated the birth years for William & Amy.

William married Amey Mathewson 18 Feb 1802, Johnston, RI. Amey was born Abt 1785. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

According to newspaper reports, she died in her 21st year.

Roby married Isaac Harris 25 Feb 1816, Johnston, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Information on Amy's descendants came from Myrna Snyder DiCesare, a decendant of Amy & George.

Amy married George T. Chillson 22 Apr 1810. George was born 1785, RI; died 1874; was buried , Warren Center Cemetery, Warren Township, Bradford Co., PA. [Group Sheet]

Elizabeth married Joseph Waterman Knight Abt 25 Feb 1816, Johnston, RI. Joseph (son of Barzillai Knight and Eleanor Carpenter) was born Abt 1797; died 1865; was buried , North Burial Ground, Providence, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Stephen Remington and his wife Sarah are age 50; son Orville is 9, and daughter Mary is 5. They are living in Ward 4, Providence, RI. In the 1870 Federal Census, Stephen W. Remington is age 71, and Sarah R. is 70. They are living in Ward 7, Providence, RI. Their son Orville, age 29, is with them. Thus, Stephen's date of death in the RI Death Index can't be correct (8 May 1863). Therefore, I am changing it to 1873.

He is probably the Stephen W. Remington who is in the Providence City Directory of 1836/7 as a cooper.

Stephen married Sarah Raphael Randall 15 Apr 1821, Johnston, RI. Sarah (daughter of George W. Randall and Betsey W. Keene) was born 21 Jan 1800, Johnston, RI; died 20 Dec 1880, Taunton, Bristol County, MA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1880 Federal Census, Lydia is a widow, age 83, living in Cranston, RI, with her three sons and other family members.

Lydia married Jeremiah Knight Bef 12 Apr 1823. Jeremiah (son of William Knight and Lydia Smith) was born 8 Jun 1796, Cranston, Providence Co., RI; died 18 Aug 1835; was buried , Historical Cemetery 42, Cranston, RI. [Group Sheet]

Phebe married Alpheus Blanchard 29 Mar 1821. Alpheus was born 12 Jul 1798; died 1 Sep 1856. [Group Sheet]

Susan married Samuel Kent Bef 12 Apr 1823. Samuel was born 1797; died 1870. [Group Sheet]

Sarah married Olney Hendrick Aft 12 Apr 1823. Olney was born Abt 1801; died 14 Apr 1863. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

He may be the William Remington, age 41, living in Johnston, RI, in the 1850 Federal Census, with the Blanchard family.

in 1860 he appears to be the William Remington, age 60, living in Johnston with Joanna Remington and children.

In 1870 he is 63 and living at Johnston with William & Phebe Kent. William is his nephew, son of Susan Briggs Remington Kent.

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Caleb 37, Abby Jane 33, & Susan 1 are in Johnston, RI. Living with them is Elizabeth Hudson 52. In the 1880 Federal Census, Caleb & Abbie J. Remington are still residing in Johnston, RI. Their ages are given as 69 and 64.

He is identified as Caleb B. Remington in a division of his father's land, 12 April 1823, at Johnston, RI. Perhaps his middle name was Bussey, his maternal grandmother's maiden name.

Boyd Scott Remington's chart shows 3 wives for Caleb: Sarah Latham, Abigail Luther, and Abby Jane Unknown. However, the dates on the chart differ from these dates, which are from the RI Cemetery Database. Abby Jane is buried in the same cemetery as this Caleb. I don't know where Sarah is buried, I think Abby Jane is really Abigail Luther, as a witness on the probate records for Caleb is Addison Luther.

BSRs chart has Caleb's dates as follows: 5 Jan 1811 - 5 Apr 1890. The RI Cemetery Database has his date of death as 30 April 1889, while the RI Death Index says 5 April 1890, son of John & Sarah.

Caleb married Sarah A. Latham Abt 1835. [Group Sheet]

Caleb married Abby Jane Luther Abt 1850. Abby (daughter of Calvin Luther and Anna Colgrove) was born Between 1816 and 1823, RI; died Between 24 Oct 1902 and 31 Oct 1906; was buried , Pocasset Cemetery, Cranston, RI. [Group Sheet]

Waity — Nathan Davol. Nathan (son of Ezra Davol and Nancy Reade) was born 1811; died 1900. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1860 Federal Census, John P. Remington is age 40 and living in Johnston with Benjamin B. Carpenter & family. Son John B. Remington, age 12, is also in the household.

The RI Cemetery Database shows his year of death as 1871.

John — Anstice M. Whitford. Anstice was born 5 May 1820; died 15 Nov 1852; was buried , Pocasset Cemetery, Cranston, RI. [Group Sheet]

WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 23, 1839, AGRlCULTURAL, From the Providence Journal:

CATTLE SHOW
The annual Fair and Cattle Show of the Rhode Island Society for the Encouragement of Domestic Industry, was held at Pawtuxet, on Wednesday, the 9th inst. The attendance was very large, and the exhibition was, upon the whole, although deficient in some particulars, the most interesting held in a number of years . . .

For Agricultural Experiments and Vegetable Products, there was no legitimate competition. The show bill required a full and minute account of the manner of raising the crops, of preparing the soil, and the expense of cultivation . . . The pumpkins, squashes, beets, &,c. were of enormous dimensions.

The following is a list of the premiums awarded :

Agricultural Evperiments, Vegetable Crops, Grain,

To David Phillips, .3d, Clayville, R. I. for specimens of cocoons

Samuel Slociim, Pawtuxet, for one cabbage

Mr Barnes, Providence, for cellery

Reuben Mathewson, Johnston, for 4 squashes and 1 beet

Adeline's gravestone reads, "Gone but not forgotten."

Adeline married Phillip J. Rounds 28 Mar 1850. Phillip was born 1824, RI; died 21 Aug 1864. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1880 Federal Census, John is 58, single, and living in Johnston, RI with his single siblings Andrew & Joanna. John's gravestone says he died "aged 71 years & 19 days, Gone Home."

In the 1860 Federal Census, listed at Little York, Nevada Co., CA, are the following: J. C. Remington 38 RI, Caleb Remington 34 MA, B. L. Remington 32 MA, and C. W. Remington 26 RI. These are most likely the four brothers in this family. They are miners.

Notes:

In the 1870s A. H. Remington owned a house on Scituate Ave., Johnston, RI. He is 51 and single in the 1880 Federal Census at Johnston, RI. Living with him are his single siblings John 58 and Joanna 44.

Andrew H. Remington was a Justice of the Peace at Johnston, RI. (source: Acts and Resolves of the General Assembly of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations Passed at the May Session, 1858)

Notes:

He may be the Caleb Remington who sailed on the Bark Floyd, from Providence, R. I., 6 March 1849, headed for California.

In the 1860 Federal Census, listed at Little York, Nevada Co., CA, are the following: J. C. Remington 38 RI, Caleb Remington 34 MA, B. L. Remington 32 MA, and C. W. Remington 26 RI. These are most likely the four brothers in this family. They are miners.

Unfortunately, I did not note the source for his date of death. There is a Caleb Remington age 50 in the 1870 census, living in Johnston; works at farming. Could this be the same individual?

Notes:

In the 1860 Federal Census, listed at Little York, Nevada Co., CA, are the following: J. C. Remington 38 RI, Caleb Remington 34 MA, B. L. Remington 32 MA, and C. W. Remington 26 RI. These are most likely the four brothers in this family. They are miners.

In the 1870 Federal Census, Benjamin & Sarah are living with his mother and family at Johnston, Providence Co., RI. They have three children, but from their ages, it appears that they are from his first wife.

From Roger Remington:
"We were only aware of two brothers that came to California to mine. They were in an area up in the hills north east of Sacramento. N. Of interstate 80 near Colfax, CA.
There is still a Remington Hill Rd. near one of their claims. We know that Ben 1 came down to our area, but didn't know of the route of the other.
I found 'some' reference to the Remington mining moving into Nevada. There is a bit of confusion when you look at it, because their claims were in Nevada COUNTY, CA.
But they may have relocated into Nevada STATE. My uncle (Robert Remington, 2nd son of Ben III) has long since passed, but he did most of the research on this end, so far.

Benjamin married Mary Elizabeth Fisher 12 Jan 1862. [Group Sheet]

Benjamin married Sarah Elizabeth Hearn 1 Jan 1865, Nevada Co., CA. Sarah was born Abt 1833, England; died 18 Aug 1914; was buried , Union Memorial Cemetery, Manteca CA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Possibly Christopher's middle name was Warner, his paternal grandmother's maiden name, or Westcott, his maternal great-grandmother's name. According to his gravestone, Christopher died "aged 46 years 6 months 28 days, Beloved, Lamented, Blest."

In the 1860 Federal Census, listed at Little York, Nevada Co., CA, are the following: J. C. Remington 38 RI, Caleb Remington 34 MA, B. L. Remington 32 MA, and C. W. Remington 26 RI. These are mostly likely the four brothers in this family. They are miners.

Notes:

In the 1880 Federal Census, Joanna is 44, single, and keeping house for her two single brothers, John & Andrew.

I assume she was Joanna LeValley Remington, named after her mother.

Elizabeth married Dodge Sweet Payne 31 Jan 1854. Dodge was born Abt 1831, NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I have made an assumption that Roby's middle initial A, which appears in the 1850 census, stands for Ann. Her aunt was Roby Ann Remington.

Roby married Charles Moies Abt 1835. Charles was born Abt 1810, MA; died Aft 1 Jun 1850. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Notes:

In 1880, Orville is 40, single, and a photographer living in Providence, RI, in the household of William Price.

He may be the Orville M. Remington who died 3 Mar 1894 at age 56. I am using this date of death for him as I have not found any other Orville Remington. (needs more research to confirm)

"In 1874 James E. Hanrahan began the publication of the Providence Evening Chronicle, but it survived only a short time. In the same year the Sunday Dispatch was started by P. D. & E. Jones; they were succeeded by P. D. Jones alone, and he by W. B. W. Hallett. Soon afterwards C. C. Corbett and Orville Remington became the owners, and the Dispatch Publishing Company was formed. During the year 1890 the establishment passed to ownership of E. A. Corbett, who still continues it as a weekly." (from "The Printer and the Press", by H. P.
