    Notes:

    The births of Penelope and Sarah are not recorded in Jamestown records. However, the will of David Greene, Abigail's father, mentions by name his daughter Abigail Remington, as well as two granddaughters, both under 18: Penelope and Sarah Remington. The will is dated 21 Jul 1759; therefore, these two of Abigail's daughters must have been born in 1741 or later. His will does not mention the other children of Abigail.

Generation: 4

  1. 16.  Benjamin Greene Descendancy chart to this point (6.Sarah3, 2.Sarah2, 1.Moses1)

  2. 17.  Abigail Remington Descendancy chart to this point (9.Abigail3, 2.Sarah2, 1.Moses1) was born Abt May 1743, Jamestown, RI.

    Notes:

    The marriage entry identifies Abigail as d/o Capt. John dec'd and Abigail. However, I have wondered if she might really be a child of Susannah, John's first wife. She is not named as a granddaughter in the will of David Greene.

    Abigail married George Ebenezer Smith 10 Dec 1769, Jamestown, RI. George (son of Ebenezer Smith, Jr. and Dinah Remington) was born Abt 1740; died Abt 1812, Stephentown, Rensselaer Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

    Children:
    1. 25. Dinah Smith  Descendancy chart to this point was born 4 Jul 1771, RI; died 15 Feb 1860, Alfred, Allegany Co., NY.

  3. 18.  John Remington Descendancy chart to this point (9.Abigail3, 2.Sarah2, 1.Moses1) was born 6 Jan 1744/45, Jamestown, RI; died 15 May 1807, Newport, RI; was buried , Common Burial Ground, Newport, RI.

    Notes:

    I am not absolutely sure that this date of death, or this spouse and children, belong to John Remington, son of John & Susanna. However, the family group was from Newport, which is just a short boat ride across the water from Jamestown, home of John & Susanna and their Remington forebears. Also, the names of at least three of the children (Benjamin, Abigail, Peter) reflect the names of the children and Remington forebears of John & Susanna. Lastly, the dates for both John & Sarah from the RI Cemetery database seem to coincide with the date of birth we have for John, and the marriage date of 1772.

    Newenglandancestors.org, Jamestown Vital Records, has his date of birth as 6 Jan 1746.

    John married Sarah Hopkins 30 Dec 1772, Newport, RI. Sarah was born Abt 1752; died 26 May 1792, Newport, RI; was buried , Common Burial Ground, Newport, RI. [Group Sheet]

  4. 19.  Penelope Remington Descendancy chart to this point (9.Abigail3, 2.Sarah2, 1.Moses1) was born Abt 1747.

    Notes:

    Penelope Remington is named as a granddaughter in the 1759 will of her grandfather David Greene.

    Penelope married Clark Albro 8 Sep 1768, Jamestown, Newport Co., RI. Clark (son of John Albro and Freelove Gardner) was born Abt 27 Jun 1745; died Abt Sep 1799, Newport, RI. [Group Sheet]

    1. 30. Freelove Gardner Albro  Descendancy chart to this point was born 1774; died 17 Feb 1850.
    2. 31. Penelope Albro  Descendancy chart to this point was born Abt 1781; died Abt 3 Oct 1827, Warwick, Kent Co., RI.

  5. 20.  Susannah Remington Descendancy chart to this point (9.Abigail3, 2.Sarah2, 1.Moses1) was born 17 May 1749, Jamestown, Newport Co., RI; died 22 Jan 1797, Stephentown, Rensselaer Co, NY; was buried , Stephentown, Rensselaer Co., NY.

    Notes:

    See birth in James N. Arnold's "Vital Record of RI"; I am guessing that it belongs to this family group, and that she may have been named after her father's first wife who died. However, I have not yet been able to resolve all the different John Remingtons with wives named Abigail & Susannah.

    Susannah married Anthony Shaw, IV 13 Oct 1771, Newport, RI. Anthony (son of Anthony Shaw III and Susannah Butts) was born 22 Jan 1748/49, RI; died 7 Aug 1820, Stephentown, Rensselaer Co., NY; was buried , Stephentown, Rensselaer Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

  7. 22.  Sarah Remington Descendancy chart to this point (9.Abigail3, 2.Sarah2, 1.Moses1) was born Abt 1753; died Aft 21 Jul 1759.

    Notes:

    I am not absolutely sure of Sarah's birth date. She is mentioned as a granddaughter in the will of David Greene, father of Abigail, dated 21 Jul 1759. Sarah & Penelope are described as under 18. However, Sarah born in 1741 is thought to be the daughter of Susannah, not Abigail. For this reason, it has been uncertain whether there may have been two couples named John & Abigail in Jamestown during this time period, both having daughters named Penelope & Sarah.
