Cora E. Remington

Notes:

According to her marriage record at Northbridge, MA, Cora was adopted by James M. & Sarah Remington. I am making an assumption that her adoptive parents were James Mussey & Sarah Kendrick Remington, because of the location.

However, I can't find her in the censuses with them.

Cora married Harry E. Lucas 17 May 1882, Worcester, MA. Harry was born Abt 1859, Dublin, NH. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the Federal Census of 1860, J. M. Remington and his wife Sarah are both age 48 RI/MA, living at Northbridge, Worcester Co., MA. With them is Mary Hendrick 77 MA, presumably Sarah's mother. James is a carpenter.

In 1870, James & Sarah Remington, both 58, are still at Northbridge. In the household is Josephine, age 18, born in Ohio.

In the 1880 Federal Census, James M. & Sarah Remington, both age 68, are at Northbridge, Worcester Co., MA. With them is niece Ida E. Remington, age 19.

James's birth is recorded at Northbridge, but he may have been born in RI.

James married Sarah Kendrick 14 Jun 1836, Northbridge, MA. Sarah was born 22 Feb 1812, MA; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Benedict was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. According to BSR, he lived in Newport and Smithfield, RI.

His place of birth, Jamestown, was obtained from the death record of his son John. His marriage record in 1780 identifies him as being of Smithfield, and son of John & Mary, of Jamestown.

In the Federal Census of 1800, "Benedic Remmington" is listed in the 2nd Parish at Mendon, Worcester Co., MA.

RI American of 21 Dec 1819, death notice: "Remington, Benedict, at Pawtuxet, in 64th yr." (Did he die at Mendon, MA, or Pawtuxet, RI? I think he probably died in Mendon, MA, and that the newspaper was in error -- needs more research to confirm.)

The Battey Family Papers give his date of death as 9 Dec 1819.

Benedict married Ruth Southwick 5 Oct 1780, Smithfield, RI. Ruth (daughter of Daniel Southwick, III and Ruth Mussey) was born 20 Mar 1755, Mendon, MA; died 10 Jun 1813, Mendon, MA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

From Arnold's VRs: "REMINGTON Benedict, of Smithfield, son of John and Mary, of Jamestown, and Ruth Southwick, Jr., of Daniel and Ruth, of Mendon, 5d 10m 1780."

James — Huldah Unknown. [Group Sheet]
