12. Marcy Mercy Rhodes (7.Malachi3, 2.Malachi2, 1.Dorothy1) was born 30 Mar 1769; died 26 Mar 1855. Notes:
I believe she must be the Mary Aborn that testified at the Revolutionary War pension hearing for Jonathan Remington, our ancestor. At that time, 1850, she said she was age 82 and living in Pawtuxet. She mentioned that her grandmother's husband was the uncle of Jonathan & John Remington. She would have been referring to Mercy (Sheldon) (Fenner) Remington, wife of Stephen Remington; Stephen was their uncle. (see full text below)
In the 1850 Federal Census, Marcy Aborn is age 81, living at Cranston, RI.
"I, Marcy Aborn of Pawtuxet, Cranston, in the County of Providence and State of Rhode Island, on oath do testify and say that I am now in the 82nd (Eighty Second) year of my age -- and was born in the village of Pawtuxet. I have a distinct recollection that during the war of the Revolution a great many troops were stationed in that village. Among the troops stationed here there was a part of a regiment of Artillery to which John Remington and Jonathan Remington, two brothers, belonged. John was a Lieutenant and Jonathan was a Sergeant. I do not remember the name of the Captain -- I recollect of hearing the name of Captain Carlisle -- and also of Captain Garzia -- mentioned -- and according to the best of my recollection, Colonel Elliott was their Colonel.
"The reason why I recollect John and Jonathan Remington being here with the troops is that they were in the habit of visiting at the house of my grandmother where I used to often see them and they used to talk to me. I was then a child about 10 years of age -- between 9 and 10. My Grandmother's husband was their uncle.
"And I further testify that the said Jonathan Remington afterwards married the Widow Potter. After his death she married a Mr. Greene -- Edward Greene -- and is now his widow and living in the town of Cranston in this State.
"I cannot remember how long the said artillery were stationed here, but it was some time. Marcy Aborn
"The State of Rhode Island & Providence Plantations, Providence County, Sc. (?) In Cranston in Said County this Twentieth Day of August A.D. 1850 personally appeared Marcy Aborn and made oath that the facts & statements contained in the foregoing affidavit signed by her in my presence are true. And I further certify that she is a respectable person and a credible witness. Before me, Edwin Metcalf, Justice of the Peace."Marcy — Joseph Aborn.
