| 102 | "Peter Tilden Brown kept a grocery store and carried on farming near Congdon's Mills in West Greenwich. He was elected a member of the so-called Dorr Legislature from West Greenwich in 1842. He favored the extension of the right of suffrage in Rhode Island as advocated by Mr. Dorr." (source: "John Browne, Gentleman, of Plymouth" by George Tilden Brown) Peter and Roxellana had two other children who died young: Charles b1838, and George W. b1840 In the Federal Census of 1850, the family is at West Greenwich, RI | Brown, Peter Tilden (I24979)

| 109 | "RI Vital Records: New Series" Vol. 6, p. 66, gives his date of birth as 6 Aug 1822. However, the RI Cemetery Database has his mother's year of death as 1820, so one of them must be wrong. He is age 30 in the 1850 Federal Census, so I am using 1820 as the year of birth. In 1850 the family is living at East Greenwich with Cynthia's mother, Lydia Sprague. John Remington Congdon is mentioned in the will of his grandfather, Henry Remington. | Congdon, John Remington (I03047)

| 114 | "Shea's first public singing was in the choir of his father's church. He credited his mother, Maude, for encouraging him to sing as a boy. Shea never planned on a career in music, and in his 20s he headed to New York where he worked at the Mutual of New York insurance offices. It was there he landed his big musical break, singing on "the amateur portion" of comic Fred Allen's weekly NBC radio show. 'It was in (NBC) studio 8H,' he said, the same space used today for NBC-TV's Saturday Night Live. 'Radio was big,' Shea said. 'I did my song, and I got a pretty good low note. I got second prize. First prize went to a yodeler. He was so nervous in the green room, he was smoking two cigarettes at a time.' That led to more singing opportunities. At age 23 he composed the music to one of his best known solos, 'I'd Rather Have Jesus.' Eventually, he found radio with broadcast preachers. He moved on to Chicago, announcing and singing on WMBI-AM, operated by the Moody Bible Institute. After joining with Graham, the men quickly went to work. He accompanied Graham in 1947 and his first crusade at the old armory in Charlotte, N.C. As Graham traveled the country and globe, so did Shea, who became a familiar presence alongside the minister on stage, radio and television. Traveling with Graham was a remarkable life, he said. 'I've been to Japan about three times, Australia four or five times. It was marvelous. I could bring my wife and two children.' " (from USA Today 18 Apr 2013) | Shea, George Beverly (I26303)

| 115 | "Stephen, son of Joshua, baptized 4 July 1772" (Abington, MA VRs). The name of Joshua's wife is not mentioned in this record. From the notation in the records, it may have been customary to name only the father in the baptismal record. Stephen's name is listed with this family on a chart drawn up by Lois Remington Smith of San Jose, CA. His name and birth date also appear on an online genealogy by Ann M. Mcallister. I have made an assumption that this is the Stephen Remington who married Thankful Hill and that their children belong here on this family tree. This is based largely on birth places and locations of subsequent generations of assumed cousins. Researcher Pat Boyden has come to the same conclusion; quote: "Speculation is that Stephen and his brother Joseph B. Remington went to Rutland, VT. He named a son Orange born 1801 and Joseph B. named a son Orange B. in 1810." He is likely the Stephen Remington listed in the Federal Census of 1810 at Wallingford, Rutland, VT: 2 FWM<10, 2 FWM 10-15, 1 FWM 26-44, 4 FWF<10, 2 FWF 16-25, 1 FWF 25-44; total 12. Also, Joseph & Joshua Remington, likely his brothers, are listed in the same town. This family needs more research to confirm that Thankful Hill belongs here, as well as this couple's descendants. In summary, concerning Stephen Remington who married Thankful Hill: I am not sure of the identity of this Stephen's parents, but placing the marriage here with this particular Stephen (see baptismal note above) is one theory. Here is some additional info: Joshua & Ruth's son Uriah lived in Rutland Co., VT before moving to Delaware Co., NY; their son Joshua died in Chittenden Co., VT, but Joshua's children were born in Rutland Co., VT; son Joseph went to Warren Co., NY; son Jonathan married a girl from Rutland Co., VT, and had children there. These may be important clues relating to Stephen (who is said to have been born c 1770 in Rutland, VT). In other words, while the births of the children were recorded at Abington, MA, there is clearly a connection with Rutland, VT. Alternatively, Stephen (who married Thankful) could be a son of Thomas Remington & Rachel Stowell; two of their sons migrated to VT. However, I think their son Stephen was probably born in MA, too. But he also would be of the correct time frame. The name Ruth among the children of Stephen & Thankful may be a clue, although certainly not proof, that he belongs to Joshua & Ruth. "Stephen Remington was born about 1770 in Rutland, VT and died about 1830 Town of Camillus, Onondaga County, NY on the place now owned by Henry Dow. Buried in Belle Isle Cemetary. Stephen married Thankful Hill about 1790, possibly born in Rutland, died in 1816 when youngest son was born." (source: John Anderson, posting at Remington message board, Rootsweb.com) Stephen Remington is on the list of insolvent debtors at Camillus, Onondaga Co., NY, in 1818. | Remington, Stephen (I11305)
|
| 116 | "The Armington Family in America" shows the same date of birth for both Ardelia & Caroline. However, there is no age and no birth year on Caroline's gravestone, so I am not sure whether they were really twins. If not, perhaps Caroline was born closer to 1820/21, where is a slight gap in the years of children being born. | Armington, Caroline Bethiah (I12724)
|
| 117 | "The Chaffee Genealogy" says Joseph died 15 August 1817 at Rehoboth, MA. According to "The Armington Family in America," Joseph & Esther lived and raised their family at Kettle Point on the east shore of the Providence River in that part of Rehoboth which was afterwards included in the town of Seekonk and is now the town of East Providence. Joseph belonged to a company of provincial troops under the leadership of Captain Peck of Barrington. Joseph enlisted as an orderly sergeant but performed the duties of ensign. In 1755 they were encamped at Crown Point on Lake George, when a great earthquake struck. Captain Peck lived on a farm which afterwards was owned by Enoch Remington, maternal grandfather of Asa W. Armington. "Joseph Armenton" also was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. | Armington, Joseph II (I05676)

|
| 126 | "The Luther Genealogy" p. 188 says Hepsibah died 30 Jan 1732 at age 13 months; however, it also mentions that a Chase genealogy says that Noah Chase married Hepsibah Luther. It is possible that there was another Hepsibah born to the family after the first one died. | Luther, Hepsibah (I19699)

|
| 129 | "The Luther Genealogy" says that Ephraim was killed in the French and Indian War. The 1800 Federal Census has a listing for Ephraim Elsbree in Freetown, Bristol Co., MA. This may a relative who was named for our ancestor. The household consists of 1 male >45, 1 female <10, 1 female 10<16, and 1 female 16<26. It looks as if this Ephraim's wife is not there. | ELSBREE, Ephraim Jr. (I18648)

| 131 | "The year of 1651, one Arthur Hathaway was reported as owning in lot 26 in Puncka-teest, now Tiverton. In 1643 a resident of Marshfield of the same name was capable of bearing arms, and was at town meeting at Plymouth in 1646. The Colonial Records state that Arthur Hathaway had a share in lands in that part of Plymouth called Kingston. The records do not settle the question of whether these individuals were one person. Elisha C. Leonard thought they were, while some investigators assert that there were two Arthurs, father and son . . . But so far as known, all who resided within the limits of Old Dartmouth before 1800, were descendants of Arthur Hathaway. By marriage he was connected with important families of Plymouth Colony." "The name was applied to this region in a tax levy as early as 1632, although the town of Dartmouth was not constituted until 1664. But as early as 1660 Arthur Hathaway and “Segeant” Shaw were residing here, because an order was given to Captain Willet to collect their taxes. In 1656 Hathaway was a member of the grand jury, but probably not from an unincorporated place like Cushena. He did not leave Plymouth until after Feb. 28, 1655, and so must have taken up his abode at Dartmouth between 1655 and 1660." "During the first twenty years after the town was established, Arthur Hathaway was eight terms selectman . . . The official career of Arthur Hathaway ends abruptly in 1684 and with the exception of two deeds and a will, he disappears from all recorded history. Twelve years later in 1696 he decided to divide his lands. He owned on the east side of the Acushnet River, north of Dahl’s corner. The south half he gave to his son, Jonathan, and the north to his son Thomas. The deeds were executed later and were not recorded until several years later, which would indicate that he was not ready to complete the transfer when it was first arranged. This was his farm where he lived . . . These deeds are executed by his written signature. Nothing further appears concerning Arthur Hathaway until the probate of his will, which was dated February, 1709-10, and presented to the court February, 1710-11. It was executed by his mark. The witnesses were John Cannon Jr., Isaac Howland and Jonathan Delano. It states that he “was very weak of body but of perfect mind and memory.” He gave to his wife Sarah the income of certain estate and a legacy of five shilling to each of his children: Thomas, Jonathan, Mary Hammond, Lydia Sisson, and Hannah Cadman. His real estate consisting of a half share of land in Dartmouth, he devised to his son John, whom he selected as executor. The sudden termination of his business and official career presents a curious problem that defies explanation. His name does not appear even as a witness to any will or deed during that long period. His death probably took place within a month before the probate of his will." According to the will of Arthur Hathaway he left three sons and three daughters. John - Married (1) Joanna Pope, daughter of Thomas and Sarah Jenney Pope, 1732; (2) Patience. Thomas - Married Hepzibeth, daughter of Nathaniel and Mary Starbuck, of Nantucket, 1748. Jonathan - Married Susannah Pope, daughter of Captain Seth Pope. Mary - Married Samuel Hammond, son of Benjamin Hammond. Lydia - Married James Sisson, son of Richard Sisson. Hannah - Married George Cadman, son of William Cadman.

No goats were listed on the inventory, but Smith had claimed payment for 100 goats slaughtered to feed the militia which gathered at Cocumscussoc and returned there after the Great Swamp Fight during King Philip's War. Smith granted freedom to three adult slaves in his will and directed that a slave couple's five children be freed after 30 years of service." (source: "The Rhode Island Atlas" by Marion I.

| 142 | (All of the following notes are from Rootsweb genealogy of Raymond T. Wing.) "Stephen . . . was three years old in 1624 when his mother embarked from England with him and his older sister Deborah for Holland. Stephen, like his brothers, spent the first years of his life at Flushing and at The Hague, and came to New England with his mother when nine years old." "He married Osheah Dilingham sometime in the Fall of 1646 being at that time twenty-five years of age. Then followed an event possible only under the strict code of morals . . . of the Pilgrims . . . young Stephen was before the Plymouth Court, March 2, 1647, and fined because of the fact that a child was born to his wife at an unseasonable time after their marriage. The Court records the 'the said Wing coming into the face of the Court, freely acknowledging, he was according to order of the Court fined and discharged.' Governor Bradford signed the record." "Stephen Wing, son of the Rev. John and Deborah Wing, settled in Sandwich in 1637 . . . He was a member of the first Friends Meeting in America, established at Spring Hill in 1658, and suffered a great persecution at the hands of the Plymouth Government in the cause of Religious Liberty. He died in 1710 and is buried at Spring Hill." "He was probably one of the last, if not the very last, of the original settlers of Sandwich [Plymouth Colony] to survive. He lived 63 years in Sandwich after the date of the first settlement in 1637." Stephen died at age 88. "Stephen committed 'my body to Decent Buruall at our friends Burieng place att Spring Hill until when God shall please to call me Hence.' Unquestionably he lies there among the unmarked graves."

| 145 | (If you use any part of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher.) I think Christopher may have been named after Christopher Hall, father of Patience (Hall) Matteson, his assumed maternal grandmother. In the 1850 Federal Census, Christopher is age 12 and living in West Greenwich with the Benoni Matteson family, which includes Alice (Barber) Matteson, and their daughters Phebe, Eunice, & Dorcas. Christopher's father Sheffield is also in the 1850 census at West Greenwich, age 37, living with Sarah Whitford, William N. Whitford, William's two sons, and other individuals who may or may not be related. There is also a Cyrus W. Remington, age 10, living with the Burrill Matteson family. Is he a brother of Christopher? Possibly Sheffield had been widowed and needed help caring for his children. In the 1870 Federal Census, Christopher & Almira are living in Ward 6, Providence, RI, with their children Cyrus & Esther. In the 1880 Federal Census, Christopher and family are living at Johnston, RI. They have three children: Cyrus H. 16, Esther W. 13, & Marie L. B. 3. Apparently they had gone to NY for a while, because according to census data Esther was born there. In the 1885 RI State Census, Christopher H. and his brother Cyrus W. are both living in Johnston; both are carpenters and their birthplace is given as Coventry. In 1900 the family is at Providence: Christopher Remington 64 (b June 1835 RI; carpenter; md 28 yrs), Almira S. 67 (b Dec 1832 RI; 2 of 4 children still living), Maria L. Hopkins 23 (dtr; b Dec 1876 RI; md 9 yrs; 3 of 5 children still living), May L. Hopkins 8 (b May 1892 RI), Pansy A. Hopkins 6 (b Feb 1894 MA), and Christopher E. Hopkins 2 (b July 1897 MA). In 1920 Chris Remington is age 82, living in Providence with Maria Hopkins 43, Burton Hopkins 12, and Charles & May Nickolajewk 32 & 27. Maria is his daughter and May is his granddaughter. All were born in RI except Charles in Poland. For some reason, Christopher is identified as John Remington in the birth record of his daughter Maria L. B. Remington. However, his wife is Almira S. in the birth record, as in the censuses. | Remington, Christopher H. (I11106)

| 146 | (If you use any portion of these notes on Daniel Remington and/or his descendants, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.) In the 1870 Federal Census, Daniel is 84, a farmer, and Sarah is 88. They are living in Smithfield, RI. In the household is son Washington, 53, his wife Hannah, 51, and three of their children. | Remington, Daniel (I05556)

| 147 | (If you use any portion of these notes on John & Hannah Remington and /or their descendants, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to any other sources as noted herein.) John's death record at Blackstone, MA, names his parents as Benedict and Ruth Remington. In the 1830 Federal Census, John was residing at Mendon, Worcester County, MA. In the 1850 Federal Census, the family is at Blackstone, Worcester Co., MA. In the household are John 56, Hannah 57, Ann C. 33, Ruth 30, Eunice S. 26, Mary C. 23, & John Jr. 18. All of the children were born in MA, as was their father. Also living there is Horace Parmenter, 27 CT. Is he a relative? In 1860 they are still at Blackstone. The family group consists of the following: John 67, Hannah 68, Mary 34, Mason DeWitt (Mason D. White) 45, Sarah (his wife) 32, and their three young children -- Lizzie 5, Mason W. 2, & Evaline 6 mos. | Remington, John Sr. (I08739)

| 148 | (If you use any portion of these notes on William & Emily Remington and/or their descendants, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.) In the 1850 Federal Census, William & Emily are living at Blackstone, Worcester Co., MA. They have one son, William P., 3. In the 1860 Federal census, William & Emily are ages 44 & 43, living at Burrillville, Providence Co., RI. With them are William J. (P?) Remington 13, and Walter S. Remington, 1. In the 1870 Federal Census, William & Emily are ages 54 & 53, still living at Burrillville. William P. is 23 and Walter S. is 11. They are next door to Eddy & Emily Keach. Possibly Eddy is a brother of Emily Remington. This needs more research. Some additional information on the children of William & Emily and their future generations was kindly provided by Michael Edward Remington, a descendant, as footnoted hereafter. | Remington, William (I08743)

| 149 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher, and to other sources as noted herein.) In 1860, Louisa Remington, age 22, is living with the family at East Greenwich. Probably Louisa is actually Emily Louise, also known as Emma -- three names for one wife. Alonzo G. Remington was a member of the Six-Principal Baptist Church of East Greenwich on 3 June 1858. This is probably the same individual. However, the 1870 Federal Census at Hillsdale, MI, shows an Alonzo Remington, age 31, with wife Emma, 30, and daughter Louisa, 8 -- all born in RI. Could this be this family? Probably. Living with them are three other individuals born in RI: Chauncey Knapp, John Hopkins, & William Bragg. The men are in carpentry and brickmaking. Yes, it is very likely the same family. They are back in East Greenwich, RI, in the 1880 census, except that daughter Louisa is now son Louis, age 18, who is bookkeeping in a cotton mill. Alonzo is a house carpenter and Emily is a dress maker. In January 1859, the RI General Assembly voted to incorporate The Third General Six Principle Baptist Church of East Greenwich.

"It is no use, dear," Remington told his wife a few hours before the end. "I'am tired of it all. I just want to rest." Despite the efforts of several surgeons and the pleading of his wife and brothers, Franklin and Ellphalet, who arrived from New York this morning, Remington persisted to the last in declaring that he wanted to die. "You will all be better off without me," he assertained. "It's strange I have lived so long. I must have a strong constitution." The remains will be taken to the old family home at Ilion, New York for interment. | Remington, Carver (I08675)
