2151	Henry is mentioned as a grandson, son of George deceased, in the will of Immanuel Northup. I am making an assumption that he is the Henry listed in the RI Cemetery Database with the following dates: 1750 - 1826, buried Elm Grove Cemetery, NK (needs more research to confirm).	Northup, Henry (I13935)
2152	Henry is mentioned in the will of his grandfather, David Remington. In the 1850 Federal Census, Henry is age 11, living with his father James and stepmother (also aunt) Jane, along with three siblings -- Sarah, Anna, & James -- and his grandfather David Remington (Jr.), aged 78. They are in Greenwich, Washington Co., NY. In the 1870 Federal Census, Henry C. Newbury and his wife Emma are still in Greenwich, NY. They have four children: Edith, Edward, Mary, & Amy. There is no indication as to whether Emma is James's first or second wife. Since there is a gap in the children's ages, one might wonder if there was an earlier wife. In 1870, this family is living nearby Noah & Catherine Remington. Henry & Noah are both great-grandsons of David Remington, Sr.	Newbury, Henry C. (I13756)
2153	Henry Olin of Warwick married Charity Vaughn of NK on 1 Sept 1754.	Family F04411
2154	Henry probably married second to Mary ( ____ ) Webb at Warwick, 1 Aug 1725. In this ceremony, Mary was wearing "only a shift," signifying that this was a "shift marriage" in which the woman's new spouse was protected from debts of her previous marriage because he could be held responsible only for what she held on her person.	Unknown, Mary (I28850)
2155	Henry Remington Congdon is mentioned in the will of his grandfather, Henry Remington.	Congdon, Henry Remington (I02231)
2156	Henry served as a cabinet maker's apprentice under Robert Niles. He later engaged in agricultural pursuits and became a prosperous farmer. In the 1850 Federal Census, Henry A., 46, & Sally A., 47, are living in Warwick, RI. Their children in the home are: Charles, 24, a clerk; William A., 23, a miner; Horatio A., 21, a machinist; Henry A., 16; Sarah A., 12; and Phebe A., 10. In the 1870 Federal Census, the family is in Providence, RI. Henry A. is age 66, "Sallie" A. is 66, Sarah A. is 33, and Phebe A. is 29. Also in the household is Marrietta Remington, 14, b.c. 1856 in Georgia. Could she be a daughter of William Aborn Remington from one of his marriages? (needs research) In a deed dated 13 Nov 1853 at Warwick, William A. Remington was said to be "of Marietta in the State of Georgia." Henry's death record identifies him as "son of Charles." Notes from the Mary E. Rice Collection, concerning Cranston land evidence, deed 19-435: Henry A. Remington & Sarah Ann Remington of Warwick, RI, sold land to Maria F. Condy of Cranston, RI, wife of Samuel A. Condy. This property had previously been sold to Charles Remington by Ezra Dean. (Maria is a sister of Henry.) Warwick land evidence, bk. 9 p. 366, in re: Sion Arnold, Henry A. Remington, etc.; this document says that Henry A. Remington is "guardian of persons & Estates of Phebe Remington, Sarah Remington, & Henry Remington infants under the age of 21 years, being heirs of Sion Arnold together with the said Horatio A., Charles, and one William A. Remington . . the said Sally Ann Remington, their mother." It was signed 15 July 1853 by Charles Remington, Henry A. Remington, Sally A. Remington, Horatio A. Remington, & Martha A. Remington (w/o Horatio).	Remington, Henry Adolphus (I11975)
2157	Henry Tibbetts was a surgeon in the US Navy, and died at sea on the "Nathaniel Greene" (see Adelos Gorton's "The Life and Times of Samuel Gorton," Philadelphia, 1907).	Tibbetts, Henry (I02040)
2158	Henry Tibbetts, Junior is on a list of taxes under Gov. Andros, dated 6 Sept 1687, assessing estates of the Towne of Rochester in the King's Province. According to "The History of East Greenwich, Rhode Island, 1677-1960, With Related Genealogy," by Martha R. McPartland (East Greenwich Free Library Assoc., 1960), Henry was born about 1640, was living in Kingstown in 1663, and died in 1713. He came to East Greenwich between 1690 and 1708 and built a home on Frenchtown Road. The Henry Tibbitts House, built before 1708, was given to John, son of Henry, in his will. This house is still in East Greenwich, at 1786 Frenchtown Road, and is owned and lived in by descendants of Henry, John Gifford Tibbitts and his son, Gifford C. Tibbitts. Some very old family furnishing are in the house, such as a maple desk originally owned by Esther Whitford Tibbitts. Austin's book on early RI families has Henry's date of death as 27 Dec 1702.	TIBBETTS, Henry (I02048)
2159	Henry was a brother of James Reynolds, who married his wife's sister Mary.	Reynolds, Henry (I03818)
2160	Henry was a prominent lawyer in New York City, and an authority on bankruptcy law. In the 1880 Federal Census, his name appears to be Harry H. Remington.	Remington, Henry Harold (I08771)
2161	Henry was a widower when Ruth married him.	Brown, Ruth (I02056)
2162	Henry was crowned king in Dec 1154 at Westminster. He was 21. He was King of England, and also ruled the whole western coastal region of France. He is the king who did penance at the tomb of Thomas a Becket, accepting responsibility for his murder at Centerbury Cathedral. Although Henry was a powerful king, the latter years of his reign were plagued by numerous revolts of his sons, egged on by their mother, Eleanor. Eleanor and Henry were third cousins through their common ancestor Ermengarde of Anjou (wife to Robert I, Duke of Burgundy and Geoffrey, Count of G	PLANTAGENET, Henry II (I19855)
2163	Henry was in Scrooby, England; in 1608 went to Amsterdam and spent a year there; moved to Leyden; and was at Plymouth, MA, in 1624. He was among the early settlers of Duxbury, where he held many leadership postiions. Purchased land in Dartmouth, Freetown, and Swansea. Will dated 28 Nov 1670 mentions wife, Joseph, John, Zoeth, Sarah, Elizabeth, Mary, Abigail, and Samuel; probated 8 Mar 1671. Source: "Genealogical and Personal Memoirs Relating to the Families of the State of Massachusetts." Also see "A Brief Genealogical History of Arthur, Henry and John Howland and Their Descendants." Henry was a brother of John Howland who came on the Mayflower. He became a Quaker and was fined by leaders of Plymouth. See: http://www.pilgrimjohnhowlandsociety.org/john_howland_john_elizabeth_howla nd.shtml The following is excerpted from an article titled "Pilgrim Village Families Sketch: Henry Howland" by Robert Charles Anderson" "Henry Howland was the son of Henry Howland and Margaret (?) of Fen Stanton, one of six children. His older brother Humphrey was a member of the Drapers	HOWLAND, Henry (I24811)
2164	Henry was Vice President of a bank in Pawtucket, according to a letter from Lalla Remington West sent to my grandmother in 1943.	Jackson, Henry C. (I22324)
2165	Henry's birth record was reported to Coventry by his married sister Grace I. Williams. It is printed between the other birth records for that year and appears to have been added much later. His birthplace is given as Maple Root, and his middle name is given as Welcome.	Tourgee, Henry Welcome (I17003)
2166	Henry's first wife had no children. The following information is from William E. Wright's book, "Ancestors and Descendants of William Browning Greene and Mary Hoxsie Lewis with Allied Families" : After the death of John Remington, husband of Abigail (Richmond), Henry supported Abigail and her children. He worked her farm with his slaves and eventually bought it from her daughters. Abigail gave him three sons. On 27 March 1694 he was charged by Abigail with being the father of her two sons (at that time), and the court ordered him to indemnify Kings Towne for any charge. Henry & Abigail went on to have two more children. On 25 Oct 1732, Henry Gardner made his will; it was proved 5 March 1744 at South Kingstown, RI. It names Abigail as his wife, and sons Henry, Ephraim, and William.	Gardner, Henry (I03999)
2167	Henry's occupation was wheelwright.	STRAIGHT, Henry (I04268)
2168	Henry's son Job is mentioned in the will of Henry's father, dated 16 Nov 1775.	Harrington, Job (I12285)
2169	Henry's will at Warwick was dated 30 Dec 1764, proved 28 Jan 1765 or 2 Feb 1765. He mentions sons Henry, Charles, and Waterman, and daughter Phebe. In November 1764, both Charles and Elizabeth Tibbetts died. It is not clear whether these were Henry's children or grandchildren. Henry himself died not long after they did. Capt. Samuel Tillinghast of Warwick recorded these deaths in his diary. The entry for 17 Jan 1765 reads, "Last night died Henry Tibbits, Who has been Long Ill with Many disorders. This is the third out of this Famely in about two months." Editor Cherry Fletcher Bamberg tells us that "John Gorton preached at the funerals of Charles and Elizabeth Tibbits on 16 Nov. 1764 and then at Henry Tibbits' funeral on 18 Jan. 1765." According to "John Gorton's Papers," Elder Gorton's text at Henry's funeral was Isaiah 55:3. Cherry Fletcher Bamberg's book entitled "Elder John Gorton and the Six-Principle Baptist Church of East Greenwich, Rhode Island" says that Henry was the second son of his father Henry. It reports that he joined the Six-Principle Church of East Greenwich on 19 August 1754, and records that he contributed to repair the meetinghouse in 1763. Henry was under 21 in 1708 when he was mentioned in his grandfather's will (NK 5:139 - 142). Some records say that he died 17 Jan 1765, but Capt. Samuel Tillinghast's Diary says the 16th.	TIBBETTS, Henry (I02036)
2170	Henry's will mantions his wife Lucy Ann; his daughters Margaret Arnold Remington, Sarah Holden Remington, & Mary Ann Remington; sons Henry Clay Remington & Thomas Remington; grandsons Henry Remington Congdon & John Remington Congdon. According to the book "History of Warwick," Henry was a Judge of the Supreme Court from 1801 to 1808, and a fluent, energetic debater. He also served in the Revolutionary War as a Private in the Pawtuxet Rangers, 1781 (see "Rev. War -- Burial Place & Service of RI Patriots" at the Knight Library in Providence). On 20 September 1800, a meeting of the Warwick Town Council was specially convened. Those present were Benjamin Arnold, Henry Remington, Jonathan Ellis?, and Squire Millard. Henry Remington was appointed to inspect the stage "that runs from East Greenwich to Providence through Warwick." He was "empowered to stop said stage and to examine said stage"; and the stageman was to be directed not to land any passenger or baggage in Warwick without his permission. The penalty was $100. James Rhodes was appointed to likewise inspect the stage at the Village of Pawtuxet. (record found at RI Historical Society Library, Manuscript Room) BSR includes another son named John Pearce Remington, b. c. 1787, who had a daughter Elizabeth. (? no documentation given ?) From the booklet "The Walking Tour of Historic Apponaug Village," published by the Warwick Economic Development Department, and originally produced in pamphlet form by The Warwick Museum in 1989 -- concerning the Henry Remington House (ca. 1800/01, with later alterations), 3376 Post Road: "This gable-roofed, center-chimney Federal dwelling with pedimented fanlight doorway was remodeled during the Victorian era when the sash was replaced and a bay window added on the south side. It is used as a storehouse for the building at the rear, which was once a favorite haunt of quahoggers and rough & tumble seamen, but is now a family restaurant. The house was built by Henry Remington, a Revolutionary War soldier and judge of the Rhode Island Supreme Court. This area became known as 'Judge's Row,' and was once the most significant part of the Village." This is now The Remington House Inn, a very nice restaurant.	Remington, Hon. Henry (I02847)
2171	Henry's will mentions by name his wife Lucy and 11 children.	Tibbetts, Henry (I07133)
2172	Her birth (no date) is recorded in Newton, MA, VRs.	Jackson, Lucy Remington (I16159)
2173	Her birth date may have been 16 Dec 1821. Information on her dates and second husband were found in Alden G. Beaman's "Washington County, RI Births From Death Records" (CrD 5-152).	Austin, Sally Russel (I00492)
2174	Her birth is recorded at East Greenwich, but a note says she was born at Portsmouth.	Sweet, Lydia (I25875)
2175	Her birth is recorded at East Greenwich, but a note says she was born at Portsmouth.	Sweet, Almy (I25874)
2176	Her birth record gives her name as Regina, but in the 1910 census she is Louise E. Remington. In the birth record in Boston, someone may have mistakenly entered her mother's name rather than Louise; there is a correction stamp over the name but no correction entered there.	Remington, Louise E. (I28869)
2177	Her birth record names her parents as Benjamin Elsbra and Hannah Butts Elsbra. Sarah died of consumption at age 22.	Elsbree, Sarah (I00630)
2178	Her birth record states: "Susannah Whitford the first Daughter of the aforesaid Carmi Whitford by barbary his wife was born the 28th of June AD 1788." I have a photocopy of this, and one of her will which was copied into the West Greenwich town record book. Her date of death is recorded in the Comstock-Remington-Tibbitts-Battey-Whitford family Bible. It says she died at age 82 y 5 m 10 d.	Whitford, Susannah (I01250)
2179	Her birth was registered as Florry Coleman 4/1884 at Mansfield RD Ref 7b 96; she married William Bowler 4/1941 at Mansfield RD Ref 7b 213. In the 1901 census, Florrie is age 16, a shop assistant, and is living at 1 Caxton Terrace, Mansfield, with her cousin John Slack and his wife Mary, ages 41 and 40. Also there is a niece, Ethel Bostock, likewise a shop assistant. (In 1891, John & Mary Slack are both age 30 and living at 28 Union St., Mansfield; niece Ethel Bostwick is with them, age 6.) John Slack, Florrie's cousin, must have been born c1860/61. The 1891 census has her name as Clara (?). This is the address that my aunts wrote to in the early-to-mid 1900s: 1 Terrace Rd., Caxton Terrace, Mansfield, Nottingham, England	Coleman, Florence (I00109)
2180	Her birthplace is given as Old Warwick, which would be Conimicut or Warwick Neck today. The name in the RI Cemetery Database is given as Gertrude A. Carpenter. In the 1920 Federal Census, George W. Carpenter, age 49, and H. A. Gertrude Carpenter, age 55, are living in West Greenwich, RI. She was previously divorced when she married George.	Remington, Hannah Adeline Gertrude (I00351)
2181	Her church membership was transferred by letter to Calvary Church, Westerly, in Oct. 1871. When first married, she was "of Fall River, MA."	Mowry, Mary E. (I02963)
2182	Her date of birth is given as Oct 1835 in the 1900 census, but that must be incorrect as she was probably not married at age 14. The 1900 census data says that Catharine has had 8 children 6 of whom still are living.	Seaman, Catharine Huchins (I25946)
2183	Her date of birth may be 15 Feb 1845. This birth date for Eliza E. Remington is recorded at Northbridge, MA, no parents named.	Brown, Eliza Lizzie (I14720)
2184	Her date of birth was given as 1683, but that doesn't seem accurate, so I have changed it to 1693 with the thought that it might have been a typo or misread.	Williston, Anna (I03693)
2185	Her death announcement was in The Daily Mercury, New Bedford, on Monday 3 Jan 1848: "Died, in Dartmouth, the 1st, Mrs. Alice Remington, the widow of the late Thomas Remington, formerly of Tiverton, RI, aged 72. Funeral this afternoon at 2 o'clock from No. 59 Grinnell Street. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend." A similar announcement was in the New Bedford Mercury (not the daily), Friday, 7 Jan 1848: "In Dartmouth, the 1st, Mrs. Alice, widow of the late Thomas Remington, formerly of Tiverton, RI, aged 72." According to the New Bedford death record, Alice died of consumption at age 70 y 10 m. She may have died at the home of her daughter Mary Rounds.	GRINNELL, Alice "Elce" (I05155)
2186	Her death certificate states that the names of her parents are unknown.	Unknown, Louisa (I19573)
2187	Her death notice identifies her as daughter of the late Daniel & Betsey Remington, and sister of Mrs. C. B. Trowbridge, at whose home the funeral was held. The cause of death: "organic disease of the heart."	Remington, Catherine "Kate" (I10969)
2188	Her death record identifies her as d/o Cynthia Manchester.	Manchester, Betsey (I18893)
2189	Her death record identifies her as Sarah Cordelia Remington, widow, and daughter of Anthony & Sally Murray.	Murray, Sarah Cordelia (I10891)
2190	Her death was reported in both the Providence Journal and the Rhode Island American. Said to have died in her 67th year, she was identified as the widow of Josiah, and daughter of Thomas Remington. Could she possibly have been the Elizabeth Remington who married Isaac Johnson at Warwick on 28 Oct 1784?	Remington, Elizabeth (I04502)
2191	Her death was reported in the Newport Mercury of 24 Sep 1774.	Clarke, Amey (I27572)
2192	Her father may have been a Thomas Remington, but this has not been confirmed, although it is suggested on at least one family tree online. She may have been a daughter of Jonathan & Lorana (Arnold) Remington, or Matthew & Rachel (Easterbrooks) Remington. Unfortunately, many of the records were lost as a result of British aggression at Newport and other communities. If she was actually from Prudence Island, Priscilla may have been a daughter of Thomas & Amy, or William & Freelove, or William & Abigail, or Josiah and Jane. These names are found in various town records as living on Prudence Island during the 1700s. Most likely she is related to my ancestor Joseph Remington, who was married to Innocent (Lake) Taylor at Portsmouth in 1744.	Remington, Priscilla (I14971)
2193	Her father may have been William Pettitt.	PETTIT, Mary (I22477)
2194	Her father's will dated 18 Sept 1665 names her as Hanna Briggs; John Briggs of Portsmouth, husband of Hanna Briggs, acknowledged receipt of her father's legacies on 6 Jan 1682.	Fisher, Hannah (I07229)
2195	Her father's will dated January 1836, proved August 1837, mentions his daughter Lydia Arnold, widow of Olney Rice Arnold, and gives her real estate in Dudley, Worcester County, MA, and the household goods that were her mother's, Nancy Remington dec'd. Whether he meant that Nancy was her biological mother is not certain.	Remington, Lydia (I02826)
2196	Her father's will gives her name as Rebeckah. The book "Records of the Bailey Family" gives her date of birth as 27 Jan 1700.	STRAIGHT, Rebecka (I00373)
2197	Her grave is in WG #21. Her father is named as Thomas in the marriage entry. Sally was born in either Coventry or West Greenwich.	Remington, Sally Ann (I01956)
2198	Her gravesone includes the following poem: "Comely as Rachel, fruitful as Leah, Prudent as Abigail, with Martha's care; Wise like Mary she chose that better part, True faith in Christ, and had a Lydia's heart."	Rogers, Elizabeth (I09852)
2199	Her gravestone and parentage are available at findagrave.com	Eddy, Abby F. (I26427)
2200	Her gravestone at Pawtuxet has been photographed.	Remington, Mary Jerauld (I04580)
