    In 1860 the family is at Providence Ward 4: Richard T. Remington 37, Sophia 36, Isabella 14, John R. 13, Nicholas J. 10, Sarah J. 8, and Richard W. 2.

    At Scituate Town Hall, in the book "1810-1882 Births, Deaths, & Marriages, Etc." there is an entry for the marriage between Mr. Richard T. Remington and Mrs. Lucinda M. Haynes, 12 Jan 1868, by W. H. Bowen, Clergyman." This is Richard's second marriage; he was about 45 at the time. Lucinda was probably a widow, and Haynes/Haines was her married name.

Generation: 4

  1. 8.  Edward Scott Rhodes Remington was born Apr 1799, RI (son of Jonathan REMINGTON and Sarah Rhodes); died Aft May 1860.

    Notes:

    See will of Sally Greene of Cranston, widow, dated 14 Dec 1836, proved 4 Nov 1854, pg. 76. In it she mentions by name her son and two grandchildren. So this "Sally" must have been the Sarah who was married to Jonathan Remington.

    In the Federal Census of 1850, Edward & Julia Remington, ages 52 & 38, are living at Providence, RI.

    On 20 July 1822 his wife Phebe H. Remington petitioned the Town Council concerning her husband who was deranged, asking that his uncle William N. Rhodes be "appointed guardian over the property of her unfortunate husband."

    Official probate documents show that as of 22 July 1822 Edward S. R. Remington residing in Cranston was delirious and incapable of managing his own affairs, so William N. Rhodes, Esq., of North Providence was appointed guardian of his proprrty and finances. However, on 14 Apr 1827, William N. Rhodes resigned his guardianship and said Edward may be restored to all rights and privileges of a freeman.

    On 12 Nov 1857, Edward submitted a written statement to the Probate Court of Cranston, concerning a woman who had come to them with a complaint that Edward had not paid her board for the past three or four weeks. He explained that he thought he had been married to the aforesaid woman in a lawful manner, but to his disappointment, her mother-in-law from South Boston came to visit them in July; she informed Edward that the woman's lawful husband lived with her in South Boston "which astonished me very much you must suppose."

    On 28 Nov 1857, his son Richard T. Remington reported to the Probate Court of Cranston that his father was in want of discretion and incapable of managing his affairs and thereby liable to bring himself and family to want. He prays that someone be appointed guardian of Edward's person and estate.

    On 21 Dec 1857, Edward S. R. Remington, "now boarding in Providence," sent a note of remonstrance against a petition of the Cranston Town Council.

    In April 1858, his son Richard T. Remington signed a statement that Edward S. R. Remington of Cranston "is an unsuitable person to manage his affairs with discretion," prays said court to appoint a guardian of the estate according to law.

    Subsequently, on 15 May 1828, seven individuals signed a petition to the Town Council concerning Edward S. R. Remington, residing near Pawtuxet with his family; they said he was "incompetent to manage his domestic business, or any other lawful duty" and requested that a discreet person be appointed to take care of his person and property as soon as convenient. A similar note is signed by 13 of his "friends" (no date).

    On 29 May 1858, three men of Cranston were appointed to take an inventory of Edward's estate, to be delivered to Daniel A. Smith, guardian of the estate of the ward. On 27 Aug 1858 his real estate was valued at $2200.

    The court documents state that his property is the farm that was the homestead of his mother, Sally Greene, late of Cranston, deceased; bordered by land of Arthur and Anstice Greene, Brown & Ives, Salt River, and a road leading from Pawtuxet Village to the City of Providence. In May 1860 a document was signed allowing the sale of Edward's property to pay off his debts; this was signed by Richard, Sarah, & Edward.

    He is likely the Edward Remington age 66 farmer born Cranston, living in Providence in the 1865 RI State Census.

    Edward married Phebe Hunt Cole 17 Oct 1819, Pawtuxet, Warwick, RI. Phebe was born Abt 1800; died 29 Jan 1828; was buried , Rhodes-Greene Lot, Bluff Ave., Cranston, RI. [Group Sheet]
