| 2651 | I believe Henry must have had three wives. Two are mentioned in his will, but there must have been an earlier wife who was the mother of his childen. His will names his wife Martha, then later his wife Sarah, as well as three sons and three daughters, one of whom is referred to as deceased. Why doesn't he also mention his son Henry, who had probably died by then? He does name his grandson Anthony, who I am assuming is the Anthony, son of Henry Jr., who married Abigail Remington. So, it appears that three years after her mother's remarriage, Abigail married the grandson of her stepfather. | Olin, Henry Sr. (I01550)
|
| 2652 | I believe Horace was actually buried in the Bay of Honduras, although there is a memorial stone in the family plot. | Armington, Horace Ward (I12713)
|
| 2653 | I believe she must be the Mary Aborn that testified at the Revolutionary War pension hearing for Jonathan Remington, our ancestor. At that time, 1850, she said she was age 82 and living in Pawtuxet. She mentioned that her grandmother's husband was the uncle of Jonathan & John Remington. She would have been referring to Mercy (Sheldon) (Fenner) Remington, wife of Stephen Remington; Stephen was their uncle. (see full text below) In the 1850 Federal Census, Marcy Aborn is age 81, living at Cranston, RI. "I, Marcy Aborn of Pawtuxet, Cranston, in the County of Providence and State of Rhode Island, on oath do testify and say that I am now in the 82nd (Eighty Second) year of my age -- and was born in the village of Pawtuxet. I have a distinct recollection that during the war of the Revolution a great many troops were stationed in that village. Among the troops stationed here there was a part of a regiment of Artillery to which John Remington and Jonathan Remington, two brothers, belonged. John was a Lieutenant and Jonathan was a Sergeant. I do not remember the name of the Captain -- I recollect of hearing the name of Captain Carlisle -- and also of Captain Garzia -- mentioned -- and according to the best of my recollection, Colonel Elliott was their Colonel. "The reason why I recollect John and Jonathan Remington being here with the troops is that they were in the habit of visiting at the house of my grandmother where I used to often see them and they used to talk to me. I was then a child about 10 years of age -- between 9 and 10. My Grandmother's husband was their uncle. "And I further testify that the said Jonathan Remington afterwards married the Widow Potter. After his death she married a Mr. Greene -- Edward Greene -- and is now his widow and living in the town of Cranston in this State. "I cannot remember how long the said artillery were stationed here, but it was some time. Marcy Aborn "The State of Rhode Island & Providence Plantations, Providence County, Sc. (?) In Cranston in Said County this Twentieth Day of August A.D. 1850 personally appeared Marcy Aborn and made oath that the facts & statements contained in the foregoing affidavit signed by her in my presence are true. And I further certify that she is a respectable person and a credible witness. Before me, Edwin Metcalf, Justice of the Peace." | Rhodes, Marcy Mercy (I07797)
|
| 2654 | I believe Sylvia is sister of Mary Edmunds who married Joseph Martin Remington. I think they are daughters of Joseph and Susanna Edmunds. I am going to make an educated guess that they are in this family group, based on census data from 1840 showing a free white female age 15-19 and and other age 20-29. The youngest girl age 10-14 would be Martha, with them in 1850. In 1880, Sylvia Remington gives MA as birthplace of both parents. In that census, she is a widow keeping house age 54; son Joseph E. is age 34, farmer at home. In 1900, Sylvia is age 74: son Joseph E. is head of the household, single and age 54; her four young adult Sheldon grandchildren are in the home; their mother died under suspicious circumstances and their father was incarcerated and killed himself. In the DETROIT SOCIETY FOR GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH MAGAZINE (date unknown), on p. 88 the following appears: "PRIVATE CEMETERY ON JOSEPH REMINGTON FARM, east and north of Sennett, in Brutus township, Cayuga County, New York. EDMUNDS, Joseph d. Feb. 6, 1859; ae. 78 yrs, 10 mos, 14 d; Susanna, wife of Joseph Edmunds, d. Apr. 11, 1867, ae 84 yrs 4 mos 22 d (dau. of Ezra and Esther (Avery) Chapman of Great Barrington and Windsor, Mass.); William C., d. Aug. 25, 1852, ae, 24 yrs 10 mos 5 d; Cyrus, son of Joseph & Susanna, d Oct 2, 1828, ae 18 yrs 2 mos 25 d; Elvira, dau. of Joseph & Susanna, d Dec. 21, 1822, ae. 19 yrs 8 mos 21 d; Joseph, son of Joseph & Susanna, d. July 18, 1822, ae. 2 yrs 3 mos 11 d (copied October 1936 by Clarence L. Beavis)." This farm may have belonged to Joseph E., son of Philander and Sylvia. Sylvia is living with son Joseph, farmer, in 1880 and 1900. | Edmunds, Sylvia (I28255)
|
| 2655 | I believe that David was probably born in Portsmouth, RI, because that is where the family lived during his early childhood. They may have moved to Tiverton in 1750, but later moved back to Portsmouth -- at least, they had to obtain permission from Portsmouth Town Council to move to Richmond in 1757. The 1774 Census of Rhode Island lists David Remington living in Richmond. This census was taken in May. David's household consists of five indiduals: 1 white male above 16, 3 white males under 16, and 1 white female above 16. These sons would have been Benjamin, Gardner, & David; Sarah had not yet been born. The RI 1777 Military Census lists a David Remington age 16-50 A (able) in Richmond, but notes "res. Tivertown." This would make sense that it is this David, because he was brought up in Tiverton. David enlisted five times from April 1776 to Sept 1780, for a total of about two and a half years, with RI companies. Battles he engaged in were: White Plains, Trenton, and Sullivan's Expedition at RI. A David Remington is listed as a Sergeant in the list "Pay abstract of Capt. Dyer's Company for the month of September 1776." At some point -- possibly after the war -- David & Mary and family settled at Greenwich, NY. He is listed as a resident of Easton in 1789. In 1804 David Remington was overseer of the roads in District 12 of Greenwich, NY (see p 339 History of Washington Co., NY at Google Books). This could be David Sr. or David Jr. | Remington, David Sr. (I04028)
|
| 2656 | I believe that Penelope must have died young, because there was another Penelope born to John and his second wife Abigail in 1740 or later. See notes for the other Penelope. | Remington, Penelope (I04179)
|
| 2657 | I believe this is Amanda's death information from the RI Cemetery Database: PARKER AMANDA V 1812 - 4 SEP 1901 PW001 (Mineral Springs Cemetery) It seems that Amanda must have left her first husband Allen in NY State and returned to her home state, where she remarried to Thomas W. Parker and had a son with him (this needs more research to confirm the particulars). In the Federal Census of 1850, she is Amanda V. Wightman 33 RI, living with Allen and family at Bolivar, Allegany Co., NY. In the Federal Census of 1880, she appears to be Amanda Parker 59 RI, wife of Thomas W. Parker 48 CT, living at Lincoln, Providence Co., RI. In the Federal Census of 1900, she is Amanda Parker 88 MA, mother, living with son Samuel Wightman and family at Pawtucket, Providence Co., RI. The cemetery data shows that she died the following year. | Unknown, Amanda V. (I23435)
|
| 2658 | I believe this is the correct family in the 1880 Federal Census, Ashley, Uintah, UT: Jerome 36 MI, Lydia 29 UT, Mary 10 UT, Rodney 8 UT, Joseph 5 UT, and Marian 1 UT. They are next door to Porter & Harriett Merrell. | Merrell, Silas Jerome (I10155)
|
| 2659 | I believe this is the Richard Carder who signed the Portsmouth Compact in 1638. Some sources show his name as Richard, and others as Richmond. In the Warwick marriage records of his children, his name is given as Richard. | CARDER, Richard (I02944)
|
| 2660 | I believe this is Thomas's death information from the RI Cemetery Database: PARKER THOMAS W 1831 - 7 DEC 1890 PW001 (Mineral Springs Cemetery) In the Federal Census of 1880, Thomas W. & Amanda Parker, ages 48 & 59, are living at Lincoln, Providence Co., RI. They have a son Sidney 21 RI. I don't know for sure if Sidney is Amanda's biological son, but it a fair assumption. Amanda was older than Thomas, and it seems that in this census, her age is much younger than she really is, 68. I have estimated the year of marriage based on Sidney's age. | Parker, Thomas W. (I23436)
|
| 2661 | I believe this poem, found in the family Bible, was written by Rev. Battey's half-uncle, Charles James Battey: Elder Nicholas Battey The man who loved his God, And loved his work as well, Was ever faithful to his call Of winning souls from hell. He traveled far, he traveled wide, His Savior to obey; He's left a mark in every track For those who lose their way. He first was called from nature's dark To light's eternal day, He next was called to take a part In what the scriptures say. He sung and prayed And talked and prevailed, And most of life has tried to teach A sinner to repent. It was in his youth he sought the Lord, When he had the promise of a great reward, He sought and found the precious pearl, Which did his after life control. He's traveled o'er his land of birth And many other miles of earth To serve his master's call, But now has gone and left them all. He's lived the life, he's died the death, His Savior did command; And thus he sleeps beneath the sod, Awaiting orders from his God. He's run his race, His work is done, He is with the Father And the Son. The time has past, his life is gone To ne'er on earth return, But still will live in that great day, The resurrection morn. Good bye, husband, good bye, brother, Good bye, nephew, but not forever, We'll follow on the way you've trod, And meet you round the throne of God. C. J. B. | Battey, Rev. Nicholas (I18828)
|
| 2662 | I can not locate Paul in the 1930 census. However, the SSDI has a Paul Remington b 13 Jul 1903, who died Dec 1981 in Redwood City, CA; but I don't know if this is the same Paul Remington. | Remington, Paul (I15772)
|
| 2663 | I cannot find Benjamin's dates in the RI Cemetery Database, but there are two infants who died young, who may have been his sons. They are both named Benjamin, and both are buried in the cemetery where his father Hon. Benjamin is buried. | Tibbetts, Benjamin W. (I11123)
|
| 2664 | I cannot locate John in any census earlier than 1840. In the Federal Census of 1840, John Remington is listed at Pitcairn, St. Lawrence Co., NY. The household consists of: 1 male <5, 1 male 10<15, 1 male 15<20, 1 male 40<50, 2 females <5, 1 female 5<10, 2 females 15<20, and 1 female 40<50. In the 1850 Federal Census, John & Susan Remington, ages 53 & 48, are still living at Pitcairn, Saint Lawrence, NY. With them are: Melissa 10 and Roxy 7. In the 1860 Federal Census, he appears to be the John Remington age 64 VT, living at Diana, Lewis Co., NY. His wife Susana is 59. Nearby are the families of Amos Remington and Nathan Remington who are first cousins to each other. I have made an assumption that he is their uncle, based on his age and place of birth. In 1870 they are still at Diana, NY, ages 75 & 69. In 1880, they are probably John & Susan Remington at Diana, NY, ages 90 & 78. His (presumed) brother Jonathan is also in the same town, age 78. The intersection of NY Rts. 3 & 812 in Diana, Lewis Co., NY, is called "Remington Corners." The following notes are from Mary Lou Raftery: "The original member of the Remington family in the Remington Corners area, John, father of Henry Remington, built a log house back of the Cassisy home." John applied for pension benefits from the War of 1812. The application states that he was born 7 Nov 1790 in Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. Date of application is 15 Sep 1879; he was 89 yrs old. John listed the locations where he had lived since his discharge from the service on 18 Sep 1814 as follows: Mt. Holly, VT; 12 yrs; 1814 - 1826 [Rutland Co.] Champion, Jefferson Co., NY; 6 months; 1826 Denmark, Lewis Co., NY; 8 yrs; 1826 - 1832 Pitcairn, St. Lawrence Co., NY; 14 yrs; 1832 - 1846 [see 1850 census notes above] Diana, Lewis Co., NY; 32 yrs; 1846 - 1878 In the application John said he was poor and that his children could no longer care for him and his wife, who are now aged and dependent on the town, which allows him and his wife only $1 per person each week. His physical appearance is described as 5' 2 1/2" tall, blue eyes, dark complexion and black hair. Among the 36 people who signed the petition are: two Graves individuals, J. Remington, B. Collar, Smith, 3 Carley individuals, Orville Austin, A. Remington, and others. The petition was denied because they could find no record of John's service. | Remington, John (I16744)
|
| 2665 | I could not find any death record for Olive at Coventry, so I am not sure of the exact location of her death. Her grave is alongside her husband at Plainland Cemetery in Coventry. | Wright, Olive Branch (I21310)
|
| 2666 | I do not know what became of Huldah Remington. She may have died before the 1850 census, which would explain why her husband and sons are scattered in different households in West Greenwich. However, the RI Death Index has a Huldah Remington listed, who died on 9 Oct 1865, at the age of 48. I can't find her in either the 1850 or 1860 census -- so who is she? The age would be right for this Huldah. Unfortunately, the RI Death Index does not identify her parents. | Macomber, Huldah (I11105)
|
| 2667 | I do not know whether Rualmy was born of William's first marriage, to Ruhamy Coffin, or if she was a child of the second marriage, to Mary. Often when a spouse died, a subsequent child of the appropriate sex born of the next marriage was named after the deceased spouse. Thus, it is difficult to tell when Rualmy (Coffin) Remington was born, as I can not find dates for her. It would seem that she was born either around Feb. 1787, when her father's first wife died (assuming she may have died in childbirth), or else in 1794 or after, based on the dates of birth for siblings William James and Mary. | Tilley, Rualmy Coffin (I09848)
|
| 2668 | I don't find any record of Elizabeth's death, but she must have died between 1870 and 1880 because the children are living with relatives in 1880. | Davis, Elizabeth (I14458)
|
| 2669 | I don't find John in any of the census records, so if in fact he belongs in this family, he must have died young. | Remington, John (I08994)
|
| 2670 | I don't know for sure if this Joseph belongs in this family group, but the birth record identifies him as Joseph Remington, of Thomas. I have checked the family groups of the other families in Warwick, as well as the 1790 census for each of them, and Joseph fits best here. An inventory of the estate of Joseph Remington of Warwick is listed in the probate records, viewable at ancestry.com, 13 Apr 1835; Thomas Holden, his guardian. | Remington, Joseph (I25384)
|
| 2671 | I don't know if he had any surviving children by his first wife, who died in England. His will, dated 26 April 1711, mentions his wife Mary; sons Roger, Peter, Thomas, & John; and "all my daughters" -- although he only names Marcy & Alice. He also mentions sons-in-law Thomas Arnold & Amos Stafford. It is not clear whether all these children are by his wife Mary. Therefore, I have estimated the birth years of some of the children. | Burlingame, Roger (I04457)
|
| 2672 | I don't know if the following refers to this Enoch Lewis or to his father Enoch. It comes from "History of the Episcopal Church in Narragansett, RI" p 515, posted on a family tree at ancestry.com and likely available elsewhere. Littleneck Beach in South Kingstown was a one-mile race course for horses, notably the Narragansett Pacers, a prized RI breed now extinct. A silver tankard was the prize. According to a story by I. P. Hazard, Enoch Lewis, a neighbor, said "he had been to Virginia as one of the riding boys, to return a similar visit of the Virginians to this section, in a contest of the turf; and that such visits were common with the racing sportsmen of Narragansett and Virginia, when he was a boy. Like the old English country gentlemen from whom they were descended, they were a horse-racing, fox-hunting, feasting generation." According to Wikipedia, George Washington owned and raced a Narragansett Pacer. | Lewis, Enoch (I28001)
|
| 2673 | I don't know if this date of death is correct -- but if so, Lucy lived a very long life! | Remington, Lucy (I08266)
|
| 2674 | I don't know what became of Mary Weaver and her son, Weaver. Probably they both died young. | Weaver, Mary (I01253)
|
| 2675 | I don't know whether any of Edward's children were by his first wife. I am listing them all under Amey. Edward was a memberof the First Baptist Church in America, Providence, RI. | Fenner, Edward (I14524)
|
| 2676 | I don't know whether Henry belongs in this family group. However, I am placing him here pending further research, since he is age 15 in the 1860 Federal Census at West Greenwich, RI, in the same town as Cyrus, 19, and George, 17. | Remington, Henry C. (I15467)
|
| 2677 | I don't know whether or not Roby remarried, as I can't find any record of her burial in the cemetery database. | Straight, Roby W. (I02974)
|
| 2678 | I don't know whether the marriage of Anne & Peleg belongs to this family group, but I making an assumption here, that "Anne Remington of Warwick" is a daughter of Daniel & Anne Remington. Apparently the birth of their son Thomas was never recorded in Warwick records, so perhaps this also was the case with Anne. (Needs further research.) | Remington, Anne (I05562)
|
| 2679 | I don't know whether Thomas belongs to these parents, but I am placing him here temporarily, pending further research. It is very possible that he belongs here, because his daughter named two sons Israel and Arnold; and, he is in the right time frame. However, he isn't mentioned in the will of Israel. The book "Descendants of Roger Williams" Book III, Sayles Line, p. 305 & 306, shows the Thomas who married Frances Haynes as a son of William & Phebe (Stafford) Arnold. However, that Thomas seems quite clearly to be the one who married Sarah Pierce and is buried in East Greenwich. His dates are 26 Oct 1740 - 8 May 1821. The will of Thomas Arnold, of Warwick, yeoman alias cooper, is dated 15 June 1812 and proved 21 Sep 1813. It mentions wife Frances; sons Josiah, Hanes, Richard, Benedict, and Thomas; daughters Amey Remington, Caty Hathaway, and Nancy Arnold single. | Arnold, Thomas (I06366)
|
| 2680 | I don't know why Carey is not listed with the family in the 1910 census. He is there in 1920. | Remington, Carey V. (I23021)
|
| 2681 | I don't think they were ever married, although they had a child together -- according to Jeremiah's death record. | Family F09869
|
| 2682 | I first met Warren online as I stumbled on his web site looking for Coggeshall ancestors. Noticing that his site had beautiful pictures of nature scenes and pages on biological science, giving credit to the Creator, I emailed him and thanked him for such a nice web site. Not knowing where each other lived or what the other's full name was, through the course of emails I discovered that he and his wife Jean have lived in California for many years, and attend church near where my cousin lives. They had previously lived in the Buttonwoods section of Warwick, RI, near where I had grown up; furthermore, his middle name was Remington, after his mother's maiden name, and he had grown up in Johnston, where I now live! There were so many coincidences, and that was before I learned that his sister Bev owned the dairy which used to deliver milk to our home when we were children, and that a brother-in-law of his sister went to school with my dad in Johnston and Providence! According to my "kinship report" on Family Tree Maker, Warren is related to me as follows: 7th cousin once removed; 7th cousin twice removed; 8th cousin twice removed; and 9th cousin once removed. We got together with Warren a couple of times when he was here in RI; in 2006, Rich & I visited Warren at his home in Tustin, CA. I last heard from him in 2009. | Howard, Warren Remington (I06349)
|
| 2683 | I found a marriage index listing her marriage to John Wesley Morrison on 9 Feb 1896. | Remington, Lucy Frances (I28446)
|
| 2684 | I found Fowler's date of death online in a posting at GenForum. This needs more research to confirm. | Whitford, Fowler (I02067)
|
| 2685 | I found Frances as Thomas's wife online but this has not been verified. She is supposedly a d/o William Congdon and Anne Gifford. | Congdon, Frances (I25918)
|
| 2686 | I found Hattie's maiden name on a family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect (John Anderson's). | Howell, Hattie (I23009)
|
| 2687 | I found her date of birth in a transcription at the RI Historical Library: Family Bible Records, Vol. 4, p. 41. I am making the assumption that it pertains to this Mary who married Thomas. | Rice, Mary (I02122)
|
| 2688 | I found Joan's name as Henry's wife on several online trees. This needs more research to confirm. | JAMES, Joan (I28373)
|
| 2689 | I found Julia's maiden name in Nellie's death record. | Burns, Julia E. (I25170)
|
| 2690 | I found Lillian's maiden name on Frank's marriage record of 1915. It appears to be Tudo or Tuds. | Tudo, Lillian M. (I20438)

| 2691 | I found Lucy's surname in the death record of daughter Hannah Mead. | Thorne, Lucy (I08886)

| 2695 | I found Susan's parents and ancestry in a DAR Lineage Book, 1896; she is #16226. | Smith, Susan A. (I29536)
|
| 2696 | I found this record at Virginia Marriages to 1800, Ancestry.com: Holland, Thomas & Selby, Elizabeth, 12 Jan 1799 Virginia Accomack County Could this couple be the parents of Maria? A Maria Frances Holland was born/christened in Baltimore, MD, in 1797, d/o John Holland and Charity Barney (ancestry.com). However, a Barney genealogy says this couple were John Holland Barney and his wife Charity Barney (maiden name Stiles). It appears to be well documented. Also, in the 1820 Federal Census, there are two Holland families in Accomack County, VA: John W. Holland: free white males 1<10, 1 16<26; free white females 1 10<16, 1 16<26, 1 45+; 2 male slaves & 1 female slave; 2 persons involved in agriculture William Holland: free white males 1<10, 1 10>16, 1 45+; free white females 2<10, 1 10<16, 1 45+; 7 males slaves & 1 female slave; 8 persons involved in agriculture Either of these two households could include our ancestor Maria Holland. From Miles Files: Maria Holland F, b. circa 1800 Maria was born circa 1800 at Accomack Co, VA. She married John Berry, son of John Berry (Hickman) and Mary Pettitt, on 9 October 1822 at Worcester Co, MD. They were shown only as John Berry and Maria Holland.

| 2697 | I had the privilege of meeting Bev (Howard) Winsor in June 2002, when her brother Warren was visiting from California. We all got together at Chelo's in Smithfield to meet each other and discuss our family connections, of which there are many. It turns out that my dad Norman went to school with Bev's brother-in-law, Ralph Winsor. For years the Winsor family ran S. B. Winsor Dairy, and now Bev is the "senior executive." When I was a child our family had milk delivered a couple of times a week by that dairy. We have both Coggeshall and Remington connections way back in our ancestry. But the most satisfying part of meeting them was fellowship in the Lord, as we have a shared faith in Jesus Christ. | Howard, Beverly M. (I06350)
|
| 2698 | I have a copy of her DAR application, and a copy of her online obituary from ProJo.com. Barbara was always good at keeping in touch. She has been my inspiration to work on the family tree and finally to join DAR. Her gravestone has been photographed. | Remington, Barbara Louise (I00260)

| 2699 | I have a copy of her DAR application. | Chase, Alice Lenora (I00146)
|
| 2700 | I have a copy of his birth certificate from Warwick, RI (Warwick Births, 1850 - 1882, Vol. 2, p. 5); a copy of his official marriage record from the RI State Offices in Providence, as well as the original page from the Town of Coventry marriage record book, p. 89; and his death certificate from Cranston, RI. The 1880 census lists John A. Remington as age 12 at that time. I have a copy of the page from the census showing his family. We have a nice portrait of John Allen dressed in his best suit, with a boutonnierre pinned to his right lapel. Perhaps it was a graduation picture, or even a wedding picture, as he was married quite young the first time -- not yet nineteen. His brown hair is neatly parted in the center and combed with a slight wave to either side. He has light eyes, like his father's, and fine regular features in an oval face. I definitely see a bit of his looks in our family, especially my uncles and my dad's cousins. We never knew much about my Great-grandfather Remington; things were left unsaid. His first wife died young of consumption, after only 1 1/2 years of marriage, which must have brought him much grief. Perhaps he took up drinking to cope with the sorrow, and then couldn't get away from it, even after marrying Angeretta, with whom he had two fine sons. For some reason they separated. He died so young, only 28 years old, of some form of cancer, according to the death certificate. I guess the whole story will never be known, so we've left it in God's hands. | REMINGTON, John Allen (I00106)
