    His middle name was probably Hull.

    Tiddeman Remington witnessed the will of Joseph Mitchell, 11 May 1784 at Newport.

    Although in the past I was not sure that Tiddeman belonged in this family group, Clemence (Remington) Cornell's family Bible record places Tiddeman in this family, along with his 7 siblings.

    I first placed him here because of a number of factors. First of all, his Rev. War pension file states his date and location of birth, and they could place him here in this family. The file also has a reference to a John Remington of Jamestown, RI, although the relationship is not stated. Furthermore, the names of some of his children suggest a relationship to Gershom & Clemence Remington, parents of John. His own name suggests a relationship to Tiddeman Hull. There were at least three individuals with that name, and I believe all were descended from John Hull, Sr. & Alice Tiddeman. Perhaps his mother's maiden name was Hull, or even Tiddeman. There was a Mary Hull at Jamestown of the correct age to be his mother; she was a daughter of Tiddeman Hull b.1682. Lastly, Tiddeman H. Remington lived for a time in Mendon, MA, and Benedict Remington (who I suppose was his brother) also did. (This family needs more research.)

    Tiddeman H. Remington enlisted in RI as a Private in the Revolution. (Pvt. RI PNSR)

    His pension file is difficult to read. From what I can decipher, as of 1831/32 Tiddeman was "of Newport"; Sept 1832 he was of Mendon, MA, when he appeared in court at Newport; he went to MA as of 4 Mar 1838; had also lived in Brooklyn, MA, for 3 years. His truthfulness was sworn to by John Remington and Ebenezer Carr of Jamestown, RI.

    Tiddeman was brought up in Jamestown, and moved to MA in 1822. In the 1830 Federal Census, Tiddeman is residing at Mendon, Worcester County, MA. It was there that he applied for a Revolutionary War Pension on 14 Sep 1832. The DAR Patriot Index says he died in 1843 in MA; the Mendon, MA, records say he died in 1842, no specific date, and that he was a Pensioner: "Tideman Remington died of Old age ____ 1842 Aged 88 years Husbandman & a pentioner."

    From David Gips: "There is a death citation for Tiddeman Remington in the Massachusetts Spy (Worcester) 1 Mar 1843: 'In Mendon (Blackstone village) Feb 16th Mr. Tideman (sic) Remington, a Revolutionary pensioner, formerly of Jamestown, RI 83.' "

    Tiddeman married Elizabeth Sheffield Abt 1786. Elizabeth was born Abt 1765; died 16 Aug 1838, Mendon, MA. [Group Sheet]

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  John Remington was born 7 Feb 1723/24, Jamestown, Newport Co., RI (son of Gershom Remington and Clemence Battey); died 15 Nov 1809, Newport, RI.

    Notes:

    (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.)

    I am making an assumption that this John Remington belongs in this family group, solely based on the names and dates of his children. (But note: this needs further research. At the present time I can not see any other family in which he would fit.)

    Some of John's descendants -- as far as can be determined -- are buried in the Blackstone Cemetery, Blackstone, MA. A stone there refers to John Remington 1680 - 1745. But if this John who married Mary is the son of John b1680, why do the names of his children reflect the ancestry of Gershom & Clemence?

    BSR says he moved from Jamestown in 1756.

    This note may pertain to this John Remington: Newport Mercury 30 Oct 1915, historical note from 31 Jul 1769 - "John Remington carries on shoe making for Elizabeth Mumford, wido, in New Lane."

    BSR has his date of death as 06 December 1809.

    John married Mary Unknown Abt 1748, Jamestown, RI. Mary was born Abt 9 Apr 1725; died 30 Mar 1808, Newport, RI. [Group Sheet]


  2. 3.  Mary Unknown was born Abt 9 Apr 1725; died 30 Mar 1808, Newport, RI.

    Notes:

    (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.)

    I think it likely that she was the daughter of Tiddeman Hull b. 1690. He had a daughter Mary born 28 July 1720. (This needs more research to confirm.) A Battey manuscript suggests that Mary may have been a daughter of William & Jane Battey.

    Children:
    1. Jonathan Remington was born 10 Jul 1749, Jamestown, Newport Co., RI; died Jul 1787.

  1. 4.  Gershom Remington was born 3 Dec 1690, Jamestown, RI (son of Stephen Remington and Penelope Parker); died Aft 1736.

    (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.)
    The original birth record at Jamestown reads: "Gershum Remmenton sun of Stephen & Pennelipy 3 December 1690."

    Land records show Gershom Remington signing transactions with his wife, Clemence, on 31 Dec 1733. Some genealogists have her name as Catherine. Was Catherine a second wife; or, perhaps simply the name was misread (?).

    In 1735 Gershom was Ensign of the Militia for Jamestown, and later was promoted to Lieutenant on the resignation of William Battey; again he served in this position in 1736.

    Was there another daughter named Aase or Acie? Here is this listing from the RI Cemetery Database:

    REMINGTON AASE 1722c - 29 NOV 1744 JM002

    Gershom married Clemence Battey 13 Feb 1712/13, Jamestown, RI. Clemence (daughter of Samson Battey and Dinah Havens) was born 4 Jul 1695, Jamestown, RI; died Aft Dec 1733. [Group Sheet]


  2. 5.  Clemence Battey was born 4 Jul 1695, Jamestown, RI (daughter of Samson Battey and Dinah Havens); died Aft Dec 1733.

    Notes:

    (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.)
    According to the Jamestown birth record, Clemence was the 4th daughter of Samson & Dinah Battey. As the wife of Gershom Remington, her name has been given as both Clemence and Catherine. I am making an assumption that Gershom's wife was Clemence Battey, whose birth was recorded in the official Jamestown Proprietors Records, Vol. 1, p. 1. The Jamestown birth record has the name as "Clemence Batty." It seems obvious to me that this is the Clemence who married Gershom Remington, especially since they named a daughter Dinah, and Clemence Battey's mother was named Dinah. I have no further proof of her identity, other than this concurrence of data: names, time, and location.

    Notes:

    BSR says Gershom married Catherine Clemence on 13 Feb 1713, Jamestown (no source noted). However, in some documents she is referred to as Clemence. Jamestown records identify their children as "of Gershom & Clemens" or Clemence. I have made an assumption that she is Clemence Battey, based on their dates of birth and the given names Clemence & Dinah, found in both the Battey and Remington families.

    Children:
    1. Benedict Remington was born 5 Feb 1714/15, Jamestown, RI; died 22 Nov 1744; was buried , Town Cemetery, Jamestown, RI.
    2. Dinah Remington was born Between 17 Aug 1716 and 1717, Jamestown, RI.
    3. Abigail Remington was born 14 Aug 1718.
    4. Phebe Remington was born Abt 1720, Jamestown, RI.
    5. 2. John Remington was born 7 Feb 1723/24, Jamestown, Newport Co., RI; died 15 Nov 1809, Newport, RI.
    6. Mary Remington was born Abt 1725; died Aft 6 Nov 1773.
    7. Stephen Remington was born Abt 1730.
    8. Gershom Remington, Jr. was born Abt 1740; died Abt Dec 1792, Jamestown, RI.

  1. 8.  Stephen Remington was born Between 1659 and 1666, MA or RI (son of John REMINGTON, II and Abigail ACIE); died 19 Feb 1738/39, Jamestown, RI; was buried , Historical Cemetery 6, Jamestown, RI.

    Notes:

    (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.)
    The RI Cemetery Database lists the grave of a Capt. Stephen Remington in the Friends' Cemetery on Eldrid Ave. in Jamestown. It says he lived from c. 1661 to 19 Feb 1739. Is this the same individual? Probably. However, his brother Daniel was born in Oct 1661, so that makes it less likely that Stephen was born that year, unless he was a twin.

    The old records at the town hall in Jamestown, "Proprietors Records, Vol. I, 1672 - 1859," contain clerks' notes on the town meetings over the years. Many of these proprietors' meetings, convened quarterly (at least), were held at "Stephen Remmentun's house." For example, on the following dates the meetings were at his house: 18th day of 1698, 19 July 1698, 18 July 1699, 17 Oct 1699, 16 July 1700, 15 Oct 1700, 20th of May 1701, 15 July 1701, 21 Oct 1701, and possibly others. Meeting notes also show that Stephen was listed as present and a member of the Town Council in May 1702 (unclear date?) and 20th day of 5th month 1703 (this would have been 20 July).

    On 15 March 1697/98, Stephen Rementon was chosen Grand Juryman. Stephen Remmgtun was chosen one of the foremen of the Town Council on 20 April 1703, along with Joseph Morey, John Hull, and John Weeden.

    The notes for 20 July 1697 record that "Stephen Reminton is licensed to keep a house of Entertainment for Strangers & Town dwellers for one whole year." Besides telling a lot about this individual, these various notes mentioned above show the many creative spellings of the name, and also provide clues as to how it was pronounced.

    On 27 Oct 1708, Jahleel Brenton, as executor of the will of William Brenton, deceased, filed an appeal with the RI General Assembly against Stephen Remington. At issue were 256 acres on Jamestown. The decision was in favor of the appellant, allowing him to redeem the mortgage of this land. However, Stephen appealed to The Crown and -- although the wording is somewhat obtuse -- was favored by the outcome. An official royal document (probably the original) is on file in the RI Historical Society Library manuscript archives, giving the details of the royal decree: "at Court of Kensington 31 July 1710 . . . Present, The Queen's Most Excellent Majesty and six others named . . . the petition and appeal of Stephen Remington in the Colony of Rhode Island & Providence Plantations, from a Decree given against him at a General Assembly in the Colony in Oct. 1708 in favor of Jahleel Brenton & it appearing that the proceedings in the applicant's cause hath been erroneous & that the Court had no jurisdiction therein. Her majesty with the advice of the Privy Council is pleased to order as it is hereby ordered that the government . . . of the Colony take notice & govern themselves herein as to them shall respectively appertain."

    Angela Cosby's data indicates that Stephen was born in 1659 at Rowley, Essex, MA. She is a descendant. Other info from Angela: 1688, Grand Jury; 15 July 1695 elected Ensign and subsequently was Captain.

    Boyd Scott Remington's ancestry chart says Stephen became a freeman in 1696, and was a Captain in the Jamestown militia.

    Alden G. Beaman gives his year of birth as c. 1666, and says he administered his estate 2 March 1738. He and his family lived in Jamestown, RI, according to "Representative Men of Old Families of Southeastern MA," V. I, p. 173.

    More information on Stephen and his family can be found in John O. Austin's "The Genealogical Dictionary of Rhode Island."

    Stephen married Penelope Parker Abt 1685. Penelope (daughter of Peter Parker and Sarah Cooke) was born 1666, England or Shrewsbury, NJ; died Aft 1740, Jamestown, RI; was buried , Historical Cemetery 6, Jamestown, RI. [Group Sheet]


  2. 9.  Penelope Parker was born 1666, England or Shrewsbury, NJ (daughter of Peter Parker and Sarah Cooke); died Aft 1740, Jamestown, RI; was buried , Historical Cemetery 6, Jamestown, RI.

    Notes:

    (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.)
    The will of Thomas Cook, dated 6 Feb 1674 at Portsmouth, mentions a Penellope Parker under age 18, daughter of Peter & Sarah (prob. Cook) Parker. She would have been born after 1656. Also, an estate settlement of Peter Parker, d. 3 Oct 1727 Westerly, mentions a daughter Penelope.
