| 2101 | He was a son of Joseph Matteson, probably elsewhere on this family tree . . . I need to research and consolidate the Matteson data. | Matteson, Benjamin (I11464)
|
| 2102 | He was a surgeon in the English army. He was in India with the army and contracted yellow fever and died. He was Catherine's first husband, and the father of Catherine Smith, who married John Andrews and became the mother of William Andrews, who married Eliza Jane Edwards. Dr. Smith's wife, Catherine, went on to marry again -- a man named Finnegan (first name not known). There were some children by that marriage. When Catherine married this Finnegan, she had 17 silk dresses -- but she didn't have them long, for Finnegan was an awful drinker. | SMITH, Dr. Joseph (I00447)
|
| 2103 | He was active in the Central Congregational Church, being superintendant of the Sunday School, and also involved with the Pleasant Street Mission. He was particularly interested in the conversion of young men. Remington Hall, the auditorium annex to the YMCA building at Fall River, was a gift of Mrs. Remington, in his memory. On one occasion he spoke to the students at Colby College, ME, on the subject of temperance (not drinking alcoholic beverages). "Mr. Remington was practical and sincere in his advocacy of temperance, and he abandoned smoking because it impaired his influence. He viewed with great alarm the growth of imtemperance among young men, and was earnest in advocating total abstinence . . . Mr. Remington was outspoken in his condemnation of the indifference of the wealthy toward the demands of religion and intemperance . . . " "Mr. Remington was a man who had faith in and unfailing kindness for people. He believed in men. He counted them worthwhile, and therefore he felt it a thing worth doing to give time, money, counsel, and strength for their moral, physical, and mental welfare . . ." "At his death, one newspaper said that 'no citizen of Fall River stood higher in the estimation of the people than Mr. Remington.' " (above info and quotes from "Representative Men of Old Families of Southeastern MA," V. I, p. 173). The building which currently houses the Fall River Historical Society was the Remington family home for eight years. Notes from the web site of the Society: "The Historical Society is housed in a granite mansion, built in 1843 in the Greek Revival style for Andrew Robeson, Jr., a prominent businessman. A one-time station on the Underground Railroad, the house was to change hands several times over the next quarter century. In 1870, the building was purchased by Robert Knight Remington, a wealthy Fall River industrialist, who had the entire structure dismantled and moved three-quarters of a mile north to its present location on Rock Street. Enlarged and redesigned in the then-fashionable French Second Empire style, the structure was to serve as home to the Remington family for the next eight years. Due to the prominence of Mrs. Remington's social position and the family's elegant style of living, the residence quickly became the scene of a number of glittering social affairs. Of particular note was the October 10, 1877, wedding reception for the Remington's daughter, Harriet, and George Henry Hills, to which 500 privileged guests were invited, chosen from the over 2000 invited to the ceremony. In order to accommodate their guests, the family had erected a 20-foot by 50-foot pavilion off the circular dining room, only to have it dismantled the following day. Covered extensively by the press, it was noted that 'the array of beautiful dresses was probably never equaled in this city' and that 'the display of diamonds was extensive.' " The following is from [http://ccbit.cs.umass.edu/lizzie/images/documents/L0041F03.html], 492 BRISTOL COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS: "The Merchants Manufacturing Company was organized October 24, 1866, and the factory built on the lot owned by the heirs of the N. B. Borden estate and by adjoining parties. It was through William H. Jennings that the enterprise was put through, he securing the capital of $800,000 in two days. The capital now is $1,500,000. The directors of the company consisted of James Henry, William H. Jennings, Augustus Chace, L. L. Barnard, Robert S. Gibbs, Charles H. Dean, Crawford E. Lindsey, Robert K. Remington, Lafayette Nichols; and James Henry was chosen president and William H. Jennings treasurer. The first cloth was turned out from the new mill in February, 1868, the structure being of granite and five stories in height. This building was enlarged in 1871, its total length then being 397 feet." | Remington, Robert Knight (I05237)
|
| 2104 | He was admitted freeman 1 May 1718, at Newport, RI. Valentine Sweet of Rochester, RI [old name of North Kingstown] "with the consent of Eliner Sweet my wife" sold land in "Pettiquamscut purchase" to Samuel Boon, 30 Oct 1704. (Source: RIGR Vol 6 No 1 p 50) Valentine & Ellener Sweet sold land in Kingstowne to Samuel Wickham 15 Jan 1710/11, 9th year of Ann Queen.

(Source: RIGR Vol 4 No 3 p 233) Valentine Sweet and wife El_____ of Kingstown sold land to Benjamin Baker on 15 Sep 1712. (Source: RIGR Vol 8 No 2 p 180) Valentine Sweet's will was recorded at Newport 4 Jan 1725/26; now it is too faint to read. (Source: RIGR Vol 5 No 4 p 345) | Sweet, Valentine (I01923)
|
| 2105 | He was born 18th of the 7th month 1684. I don't know if the individual who recorded this date in the Battey family papers used the old dating system (Julian) or the new (Gregorian); so it is either July or September. According to the Battey family papers, there were 9 children born to this couple. | Mussey, James (I17538)
|
| 2106 | He was born at Balm of Gilead Corner in Coventry, RI. His parents and siblings went to Clarksville, PA, in the 1830s. Samuel and family remained in WEst Greenwich near Carr's Pond. (source: RI Genealogical Register Vol 8 No 1 pp 10 & 11) | Kettelle, Samuel S. (I07518)
|
| 2107 | He was born on Easter Day. | Remington, James Scott (I00134)
|
| 2108 | He was known as "Long Einar." He belonged to the "Inter-Mission," a church which is not the state church of Denmark. | Sorensen, Einar (I00870)
|
| 2109 | He was known as "Richard the Fearless." From Wikipedia: "Richard either introduced feudalism into Normandy or he greatly expanded it. By the end of his reign, most important Norman landholders held their lands in feudal tenure.: | NORMANDY, Richard I of (I28067)
|
| 2110 | He was known as "Uncle Jim." My dad says Jim and his wife divorced. In 1900, the family is living in Pawtucket: James 36, Margaret 43, Charles 14, and Nora E. 13. James and Margaret have been married 15 years, and he is a motorman. In 1910, the family is living in Central Falls. | Andrews, James E. (I00172)
|
| 2111 | He was known as "William Longsword" and "Count of Rouen." He reigned 925-942. From Wikipedia: "Longsword had no children with his wife Luitgarde. He fathered his son, Richard the Fearless, with Sprota, who was a Breton captive and his concubine. Richard, then aged 10, succeeded him as Duke of Normandy in December 942." | NORMANDY, William I Longsword of (I28068)
|
| 2112 | He was lame. He signed his name on a deed as "Highdidah." | Butts, Idido (I07682)
|
| 2113 | He was lost at sea. | Bailey, Caleb (I00377)
|
| 2114 | He was not quite 43 when he died. His gravestone has been photographed, in Historical Cemetery #21 off Weaver Hill Rd. in West Greenwich. | Whitford, Nicholas II (I01975)
|
| 2115 | He was of North Scituate. The name is also spelled Herendeen and/or Herenton. | Harrington, Mr. (I14584)
|
| 2116 | He was of Warwick on 6 July 1776 (The Tillinghasts in America, First Four Generations, p 107, Wayne G. Tillinghast, 2006, Ri Genealogical Society). | Potter, William (I26790)
|
| 2117 | He was one of "The Original Proprietors of Providence," along with Roger Williams, Richard Waterman, and others. | OLNEY, Thomas (I02107)
|
| 2118 | He was ordained 16 June 1757. His will, dated 14 Jan 1782 and proved 13 June 1785, freed most if not all of their family's slaves. At his funeral, Elder John Gorton preached on 2 Timothy 4:7 & 8. "HOLDEN Elder Charles, at Warwick, aged 89 years, 7 months, 15 days; funeral text Timothy 11, ch. v. 7-8; was ordained an elder at 62 years of age and had baptised 62 persons as appears from the church records; Jan. 20, 1785 Providence" obit (b. c 5 June 1695) "HOLDEN Elder Charles, at Warwick, aged 98 years, 7 months, 15 days; Jan. 20, 1785 Providence" obit (b. c 5 June 1686) Since his first wife was born c 1689 and his second wife was born c 1687, the second age given above (98) may be the correct one (but needs verification). However, the RI Cemetery Database has the following entry: HOLDEN CHARLES, ELDER 1696c - 20 JAN 1785 WK115. This suggests that the age on his gravestone is 89. | Holden, Captain Charles Jr. (I03861)
|
| 2119 | He was presented at Draby Church on 18 December 1796. | Michelsen, Rasmus (I00816)
|
| 2120 | He was probably named after his uncle, Nicholas Johnson. In the 1910 Federal Census, Nicholas & Sarah, ages 60 & 50, are living at Blackstone, Worcester Co., MA. They have six children in the household: John 21, Sarah S. 18, Rose 16, Thomas 14, William 12, Vincent P. 7. In the 1920 Federal Census, Nicholas J. Remington is age 69 and widowed, living with his son John and family on Terrace St., Keene, Cheshire Co., NH. | Remington, Nicholas J. (I02428)
|
| 2121 | He was probably Oliver or Jonathan Hull. | Hull, Oliver (I11049)
|
| 2122 | He was probably s/o Ebenezer & Sarah Claflin b 27 Aug 1777 at Hopkinton, MA. His daughter Nancy's death record gives his birthplace as Hopkinton. The death record gives John's parents as Ebeneza & Sarah. | Claflin, John (I25583)
|
| 2123 | He was probably the Joseph Nichols whose will was dated 13 Oct 1757, proved 15 Nov 1757, at East Greenwich. The will mentions his wife Freelove Nichols, and two daughters, Freelove Nichols and Hannah Hill. | Nichols, Joseph (I04766)
|
| 2124 | He was probably the Robert Dennis who was Town Clerk of Portsmouth in the mid-1700s. He recorded the ear mark of my ancestor Joseph Remington's creatures, 18 June 1754. The will of Robert Dennis of Portsmouth, dated 24 June 1799 and proved 16 Apr 1811, mentions wife Hannah; sons Gideon, Robert, Jonathan, George, Moses, and Thomas; and dtrs Hannah Hall & Mary Sisson. | Dennis, Robert (I17530)
|
| 2125 | He was probably the son of John Wood and Charity Millard. | Wood, Seth (I24971)
|
| 2126 | He was referred to as Thomas Greene "of the Stone Castle." He purchased from his brother-in-law James Sweet a stone house at "Old Warwick," built in the early days of the settlement. It was the only stone house south of Providence on the mainland. On March 16 & 17 1675/76, Indians burned every house in Warwick except this stone house, where Thomas, along with his wife, six children, and some friends and neighbors, stayed safely. | Greene, Thomas (I01729)
|
| 2127 | He was Secretary of Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1658. In the fall of that year he extended an invitation to his wife's uncle, Dr. John Greene of Warwick, RI, to visit the colony, even though Dr. Greene had been persona non grata there in years past. The doctor intended to make the visit in the spring, but unfortunately he died before that time, in January of 1659. | Rawson, Edward (I03785)
|
| 2128 | He was William, of John, of Portsmouth. | Borden, William (I15019)
|
| 2129 | He witnessed the will of Job Knight on 12 January 1794 at Cranston, RI. Barzillai is mentioned in his father Richard Knight's will, dated 9 June 1776 at Cranston, and also in his uncle (probably great-uncle) Joseph Waterman's will, dated 21 May 1805 at Cranston. | Knight, Col. Barzillai (I09929)
|
| 2130 | Helen and her second husband settled in Chicago, IL. | Remington, Helen E. (I09647)
|
| 2131 | Helen and Mary E. were twins, but Mary died before age 2. Both Helen and her younger sister Mary Ann (Minnie) died of consumption, according to the death entries at Warwick City Hall. In the 1870 Federal Census, she is listed as Ellen Remington, age 25, an invalid. | Remington, Helen M. (I05381)
|
| 2132 | Helen is a descendant of John Alden & Priscilla Mullins. | Southworth, Helen Marr (I15276)
|
| 2133 | Henery Sprague is on the 1830 Federal Census at New Shoreham; his household includes one male 20-30 and one female 20-30. My conclusion is that he was married by then but their first child had not yet been born. In the 1850 census the family is at New Shoreham, as follows: Henry 44, Frances 36, Eldridge 20, Almina (?) 14, Joshua 13, Aaron 12, Alzador 11, Henry N. 4, & Euphene 2. In 1860 they are still at New Shoreham. The household is as follows: Henry 54; Fanny 51; Joshua 23; Aaron 21; Almira Mitchell 25; Henry Sprague, Jr. 16; Phebe A. 13; three Mitchell daughters ages 6, 3, & 1 (Alwaday L. ?, Cornelia, & Fanny F.); John F. Dodge 87; Henry Dodge 40; Nelson Dodge 42; and Joseph O. Mitchell 40. In the 1870 Federal Census, Henry & Fannie Sprague, ages 58 & 54, are living at Old Lyme, New London Co., CT. With them are two of their children: Ann 28 & Henry 24. Also in the household is their married daughter and her family, Almira & Joseph Mitchell and two of their children, Thaddeus & Fanny F. They are still at Old Lyme in the 1880 census, living with son Aaron and his wife Olive and their children. Next door is son Henry Jr. and his family. | Sprague, Henry (I21333)
|
| 2134 | Henry & Abigail are mentioned in the Exeter Town Council Records dated 2 Aug 1746, when they were paid for boarding Samuel & Abel Tanner out of the estate of Benjamin Tanner (see RI Genealogical Register, Vol. 5, No. 1, p. 78). He may be the same Henry Greene who married Margaret Rathbone in 1724 on Block Island (see elsewhere on this family tree). If so, Humility at least would have been her child. I am not sure about the others -- needs more research. | Greene, Henry (I06033)
|
| 2135 | Henry & Annie apparently are newlyweds in the 1880 Federal Census at Providence, RI. In the 1920 Federal Census, Henry L. Remington is age 61, living in Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz Co., CA. His (second) wife Martha is 48, and their two daughters are 16 & 14. In the 1930 Federal Census, Henry L. Remington is age 72, and still is living at Santa Cruz, CA. His wife Martha B. Remington is age 58, and daughter Phoebe H. is 26. Mother and daughter are both nurses. Henry's son, Henry Jr., is also living in Santa Cruz, CA, in the 1920 census. He is married to Etta. | Remington, Henry L. (I04803)
|
| 2136 | Henry & Elizabeth lived at East Greenwich. On 12 Oct 1724 he sold 50 acres in East Greenwich to Henry Gardiner of South Kingstown (Austin's Genealogical Dictionary of RI, p. 98). According to the Hill manuscript at NK Library, Henry was living in NK in 1680 and 1687; he also lived in Warwick and EG. | HILL, Henry (I05932)
|
| 2137 | Henry & Elizabeth were married by Thomas Aldrich, Justice. | Family F02328
|
| 2138 | Henry & Hannah were married by Robert Hall, Justice. In the marriage entry, Henry is identified as "of George," and Hannah as "of John." I am making an assumption that Henry belongs in this family group. | Family F02320
|
| 2139 | Henry & Mary had about nine children. | Stanton, Henry (I11026)
|
| 2140 | Henry & Mary were both of Freetown at the time of their marriage. | Family F07106
|
| 2141 | Henry & Phebe were married by Elder Manassah Martin. | Family F00737
|
| 2142 | Henry & Sarah had about 14 children. | Smith, Henry (I09176)
|
| 2143 | Henry & Sarah were married by Samuel Hopkins, Justice. | Family F01791
|
| 2144 | Henry and family moved from Portsmouth to East Greenwich sometime around 1678. There he held several civic positions -- town constable, deputy to the RI General Assembly, and member of a grand jury. His land, which previously had been awarded to Henry Brightman, was located on the south side of Middle Rd., near where it meets Carrs Pond Rd. For more details on Henry and his family, see: Patricia R. Reed, "Henry Straight of Portsmouth and East Greenwich, RI, and His Family" in "Rhode Island Roots" Vol 40 No 3 pp 115ff | STRAIGHT, Henry (I04268)
|
| 2145 | Henry and his brother George moved to Nebraska about 1879, along with their mother Elizabeth. Later, they both moved to southern California, about 1920. (source: Lois Remington Smith) In the 1880 Federal Census, George & Henry are farmers in Indianola, Red Willow, NE. Their mother Elizabeth, a widow age 56, is living there with them. Los Angeles Times - Sep 21, 1950 - "RETIRED RANCHER DIES - ARCADIA, Sept. 20 - Henry C. Remington, 92, a retired livestock rancher, a resident here for 22 years, died today at his home. He leaves his widow Lillian, and three daughters, Miss Bernice Remington and Mrs. Mildred L. Mirchand of Arcadia, and Mrs. Edna A. Bogle of Monrovia." In the 1920 Federal Census, Henry C. & Lillian Remington, ages 61 & 50, are living at Fort Collins, Larimer Co., CO. In the household are two of their daughters, Bernice, 19, & Mildred, 11. In the 1930 Federal Census, Henry C. & Lillian E. Remington, ages 71 & 61, are living at Pasadena, Los Angeles Co., CA. With them is daughter Bernice, 29, who is single. According to census data, Henry was married at age 29 and Lillian at age 18. Lillian's parents were born in PA & CT; Henry's parents were both born in MA. From "Berkshire Co., Mass., Probate Index, 1761 to 1900" page 243: Henry C. Remington, Savoy, Gdn. m., July 26 1865, #9956. | Remington, Henry Clinton (I11345)
|
| 2146 | Henry and Sally had 8 children born in the Remington homestead at Pawtuxet, built by Charles, son of Peleg. | Family F04663
|
| 2147 | Henry deeded land to his sons on several occasions, the last known transaction being dated 31 Oct 1728 (The Amercian Genealogist Vol 52 p 20). | Sweet, Henry (I26644)
|
| 2148 | Henry first appears in records at Portsmouth on 21 December 1667. | STRAIGHT, Henry (I04268)
|
| 2149 | Henry Hazard, born c1779-1787 So. Kingstown, RI, or CT; Henry died at Newport, death recorded at New Bedford, 28 Mar 1868. From census records, it apears he is probably father of Harriet Hazard who married Freeman Shearman, Emeline Hazard who married John Rounds, and James Hazard -- all three of whom were married at Dartmouth around the time Maria was married there. Henry was a seaman. In his later years, census records show he was living in New Bedford with John & Emeline, and in one census, with them was Charles Sherman, son of Harriet and Freeman (who went west as a miner). James Hazard is next to or with them, also. In the 1830 census at Dartmouth, Henry Hazzard is the only Hazard family there, and the household is as follows: FWM: 2 5-9, 1 15-19, 1 20-29, 1 50-59; FWF: 2<5, 1 5-9, 1 10-14, 1 15-19, 1 40-49. In the federal census of 1850, the household at New Bedford is as follows: Henry Hazard 70 RI farmer, George W. Hazard 37 RI laborer, Maria Rounds 31 CT, George W. Rounds 15 MA sailor, Emeline Rounds 27 CT, John Rounds 39 MA sailor. In 1860, the household at New Bedford is as follows: John Rounds 43 MA Master Mariner, Emeline Rounds 38 MA, John Rounds Jr. 19 MA Seaman, Henry Hazzard 73 CT Laborer, George W. Hazzard 45 CT Blind, Charles Sherman 14 MA. Henry's death record says he died at age 89. | Hazard, Henry (I28806)
|
| 2150 | Henry is a grandson of Thomas, the original settler of this surname. The spelling varies in the records. I have roughly estimated Henry's birth year. Henry's brother Abraham and family were brutally killed by Indians. | Josslyn, Henry (I26685)
