  1. 1.  Ruth Greene was born Between 1801 and 1802, RI; died 25 Aug 1866, East Greenwich, RI.

    Notes:

    Ruth Remington is still living at East Greenwich in the 1860 Federal Census. With her is Almyra Briggs, age 48.

    For the time being, I am making an assumption that she is a sister of Mahitable Greene, who married Dexter's brother Warren. Mahitable is a daughter of William & Elizabeth Greene. The death entry for Ruth says she is a daughter of William & Elza Greene. Elza may have been an abbreviation for Elizabeth. This Greene family needs more research.

    If Ruth is in fact a daughter of this family, she may have been either a twin to Phebe, or else born in 1802.

    Ruth married Dexter S. Remington Abt 1822. Dexter (son of Benedict Remington and Sarah Unknown) was born Abt 1798, Covenrty, RI; died 17 Jun 1856, RI. [Group Sheet]

  1. 2.  Thomas Henry Remington Descendancy chart to this point (1.Ruth1) was born Between 1823 and 1825, RI; died Aft 1 Jun 1880.

    Notes:

    Although his given age varies greatly in the censuses, Thomas probably was born between 1821 and 1825, because in the 1840 census he is likely the male 15 < 20.

    Thomas Henry is mentioned in the 21 Oct 1843 will of his grandfather, Benedict Remington. He is "Henry" in the 1850 Federal Census, where he age 27 and a mariner, living with his parents and aunt & uncle in East Greenwich, RI.

    In the 1860 Federal Census, Thomas H. & Mary E. Remington are ages 31 & 29, living at Bristol, RI, with their two daughters, Anneta & Ada. Thomas is a seaman.

    In 1870 the family is still at Bristol. Thomas H. is 47, Mary E. is 39, and they have three children: Annetta G., William H., & Harriet N. Thomas's occupation is carpenter.

    In 1880 they are still at Bristol. Thomas H., a ship carpenter, is 55; Mary E. is 48; two of their children are in the household: William & Hattie N.

    Thomas's age is not consistent (est. dob 1823, 1825, 1829); but Mary's is (dob 1831/32).

    Thomas married Mary Mercy Elizabeth Whitford 24 Apr 1851, RI. Mary (daughter of Amos Tillinghast Whitford and Nancy N. Clarke) was born 6 May 1830, Charlestown, RI; died 17 Sep 1898, Bristol, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Children:
    1. 6. Annetta G. Remington  Descendancy chart to this point was born Abt 1854, RI; died Aft 1 Jun 1870.
    2. 7. Ada W. Remington  Descendancy chart to this point was born Abt May 1860, RI; died Bef 1 Jun 1870.
    3. 8. William H. Remington  Descendancy chart to this point was born Abt 1866, RI; died 5 Jan 1890, RI.
    4. 9. Harriet "Hattie" N. Remington  Descendancy chart to this point was born Abt 1869, RI; died Aft 1 Jun 1880.

  2. 3.  Sarah E. Remington Descendancy chart to this point (1.Ruth1) was born 10 Jan 1827, RI; died 3 Feb 1850; was buried , Greenwood Cemetery, Fairview Ave., Coventry, RI.

    Notes:

    Sarah is mentioned in the 21 Oct 1843 will of her grandfather, Benedict Remington.

    Sarah married George B. Babson 10 Dec 1848, East Greenwich, RI. George (son of Isaac Newton Babson and Esther C. Pearce) was born 9 Feb 1826, Warwick, RI; died 7 Jul 1867, Coventry, RI; was buried , Greenwood Cemetery, Fairview Ave., Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]


  3. 4.  Ruth Dexter Remington Descendancy chart to this point (1.Ruth1) was born Abt Jan 1840, East Greenwich, RI; died 8 Sep 1840, East Greenwich, RI.

    Notes:

    I am not sure that Ruth belongs in this family. However, her death record is at East Greenwich, and the only Remington families there listed in the 1840 census are Dexter and his father. His brother Warren is most likely living with his father, but there are no children listed in their household. Dexter's household has a female under age 5, who may have been Ruth.


  4. 5.  Olive Ballou Remington Descendancy chart to this point (1.Ruth1) was born Abt Sep 1842, East Greenwich, RI; died Jul 1843, East Greenwich, RI.

    Notes:

    I am not sure that Olive belongs in this family. However, Dexter's family was living at East Greenwich in the 1840 census, so I am placing Olive here pending further research. The death record says she died at age 10 months.
