Stacy Waterman Remington

Notes:

At the time of his marriage in 1832, Stacy was "of Providence."

Stacey W. Remington is in the Providence City Directory of 1836/37 as a cigar maker, 155 High St.

Stacy W. Remington witnessed the Warwick will of Desire Burton, singlewoman, formerly of Cranston, on 1 Sept 1853. The two other witnesses were Joshua A. Johnson and Joseph G. Johnson. These were both brothers-in-law to Stacy.

In 1850, 1860, & 1870 the family is living at Cranston, RI. In the 1850 Federal Census, Stacy's father-in-law, Freeborn Johnson, age 78, is living with them. Also in the household is Catherine B. Smith, age 18.

In 1870, although the census was to be as of June 1st, the census was taken on July 11th, shortly after Joseph had gotten married on June 16th. The Hart family is living next door, and Joseph & Josephine are each shown in his/her own parents' home, although Josephine is called Josephine Remington.

In the 1880 Federal Census, Stacy is aged 70, widowed, a retired farmer, living with grandson Frank A. Fry and family at 31 Broad St., Providence, RI.

The identity of Stacy's parents, noted in his death record (although not in the RI Death Index), was provided by Linda Mathew, who has researched the Johnsons extensively. According to census data, both of Stacy's parents were born in Rhode Island, so apparently they or their parents migrated to New York State, where Stacy was born. Interestingly, in the 1880 Federal Census, Stacy is living on Broad St., not far from Benjamin W. Remington. However, Ben was born in RI. Is there a close family relationship between these two, or is it just coincidence?

I was able to link him to our family tree through the marriage of his daughter Caroline, and more recently through his wife's family, the Johnsons. I am sure there are other links, also -- such as through the Burlingames.

Stacy's will is dated 19 May 1884. His son-in-law Thomas H. Rhodes is named as Trustee of the estate.

I have not been able to determine why he was named Stacy Waterman Remington, or if there is a family connection to Stacy Waterman born 22 Feb 1791.

Stacy married Ruth Johnson Abt Nov 1832, Providence, RI. Ruth (daughter of Freeborn Johnson and Martha Allen) was born 22 Jul 1809, West Greenwich, RI; died 28 Apr 1871, Cranston, RI; was buried , Locust Grove Cemetery, Providence, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1920 Federal Census, Caroline A. Rhodes is a widow aged 78, living with her son Arthur and daughter-in-law Leila at 2127 Broad St. in Cranston, RI.

Caroline married Thomas Henry Rhodes 1 Jan 1862, RI. Thomas (son of Peleg Rhodes and Mary Smith Chapman) was born 19 Feb 1835, Pawtuxet, RI; died 7 May 1898, Cranston, RI; was buried , Arnold-Pawtuxet Burial Ground, Harrison St., Pawtuxet, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

She is Ellen in 1850 & 1860, but Nellie in 1870. However, she seems to be Martha H. (Remington) Fry in 1880, when she is married, has a daughter, and her father Stacy is living with them. For Stacy, the census says his relationship to the head of household is grandfather, but that is not likely, because Martha's husband "Frank" was born c1841, and Stacy is in the age range to be his father or father-in-law.

Martha married Frederick "Frank" Augustus Fry 8 Jun 1871, RI. Frederick was born Oct 1841, Tariffville, CT; died 12 Apr 1906, Bristol, RI; was buried , Locust Grove Cemetery, Elmwood Ave., Providence, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In 1870, although the census was to be as of June 1st, the census was taken on July 11th, shortly after Joseph had gotten married on June 16th. The Hart family is living next door in Cranston, RI, and Joseph & Josephine are each shown in his/her own parents' home, although Josephine is called Josephine Remington.

Joseph & Josephine's family, including their six children, is in the 1880 Federal Census at Cranston, RI, on the east side of Broad St. The youngest son has not yet been named. I believe this must be Lawrence.

Joseph F. Remington and his son E. T. Remington are living in Warwick, RI, in 1910.

From "Death Notices" at RI Historical Society Library: Joseph F. Remington, 66th yr., 5 Aug 1913, at Pawtuxet.

He may have been named for Dr. Joseph Warren Fearing, an esteemed physician for 32 years in Providence. I don't know if there was any family connection.

Joseph married Josephine Celia Hart 16 Jun 1870, Providence, RI. Josephine (daughter of Edwin Hart and Lusealy "Celia" Gorton) was born 1 Feb 1846, Cranston, RI; died 9 Jul 1915; was buried , Arnold-Pawtuxet Burial Ground, Harrison St., Pawtuxet, RI. [Group Sheet]

Fred married Ida F. Greene 10 Nov 1893, RI. Ida (daughter of Samuel R. Greene and Caroline Scott) was born 9 Aug 1869; died 10 Feb 1907; was buried , Pawtuxet Highland Cemetery, Harrison Ave., Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1920 & 1930 Federal Censuses, Lindsay W. & Amy Remington are living at 26 Harrison Ave., Warwick, RI. In 1920, their two daughters are with them.

Lindsay married Amy Baker 26 Jun 1894, RI. Amy was born May 1870, England; died 13 Dec 1949, Warwick, RI; was buried , Arnold-Pawtuxet Burial Ground, Harrison Ave., Pawtuxet, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1920 Federal Census, Edgar T. Remington is age 45, single, and living with his sister Bertha's family in Warwick, RI. He is still with them in 1930 at age 55.

Ada married Charles B. Byrne 7 Jan 1900, RI. Charles was born 1873; died 1946; was buried , Elmgrove Cemetery, North Kingstown, RI. [Group Sheet]

Her gravestone says she was born in 1877.

Bertha married Charles H. Golden 20 Oct 1908, RI. Charles was born 1873, NY; died 1956; was buried , Arnold-Pawtuxet Burial Ground, Harrison St., Pawtuxet, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1920 Federal Census, Lawrence is 39 and Lillian is 49. They are living at Providence, RI. In the household is a cousin, Lydia Williams, age 66; also two lodgers, Lydia (N?ille) & Elsie Thomas.

In 1930 Lawrence is age 49, and a boarder at the home of Ellery & Ethel Crumb, 90 Church Ave., Warwick, RI. His marital status says S for single, but I think it should say Wd for widowed.

Lawrence married Lillian M. Mason 9 Dec 1905, RI. Lillian was born 1870, MA; died 1922; was buried , Arnold-Pawtuxet Burial Ground, Harrison St., Pawtuxet, RI. [Group Sheet]
