  1. 1.  Peleg Remington was born Aft 1727; died Aft 1774.

    Notes:

    I am adding Peleg to this family group based on an entry in "The Rhode Island 1777 Military Census" transcribed by Mildred M. Chamberlain, p. 120 (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1985). It says he is a son of Daniel, age 16 - 50 A, and a prisoner. Why was he a prisoner? This needs more research.

    If he were a son of Daniel Jr., I think it would specify that, since both Daniel (60+) and Daniel Jr. (16 - 50 U) are listed also. I have no record of any marriage for Daniel Jr., so possibly he was physically or mentally hadicapped and never married (?).

    Is he the same Peleg Remington, of Warwick, RI, who served in Capt Wall's Company in 1757 during the French & Indian War? Possibly.

    There are two Peleg Remingtons listed for Warwick in the 1774 RI Census.

    One Peleg Remington of Warwick had a wife named Nansey in 1750. Could it be this Peleg? I am not sure. For the present I have placed Nancy as the wife of another Peleg probably around the same age.
