2951	I have roughly estimated the birth year of Benjamin.	Sheldon, Reverend Benjamin (I10948)
2952	I have roughly estimated the birth year of some of the children.	Booth, Caleb (I13471)
2953	I have roughly estimated the birth year of this Edward. (This family needs more research.)	Manchester, Edward (I03122)
2954	I have roughly estimated the birth year of Williston.	Remington, Williston (I23042)
2955	I have roughly estimated the birth years of Daniel & Lydia's children.	BRIGGS, Daniel (I07230)
2956	I have roughly estimated the birth years of some of Henry's children. See notes for Henry's father Ezekiel; in 1827 Ezekiel, Henry, Chancy, and Charles were living at Pittsfield, Lorain Co, OH. In the 1850 Federal Census, Henry & Matilda are living at Amherst, Lorain Co., OH, with children Benedict & Lydia, and Henry's father Ezekiel. In the Federal Census of 1860, Henry & Matilda are still at Amherst, OH, living next to son Bliss and family. In the 1880 Federal Census, Henry & Matilda are living with grandson Frank and family in Amherst, OH. A great-grandson named Omar Remington, age 3, is in the household, but I don't think he belongs to Frank & Lillian, because there isn't room for another child between Earnest & Cora.	Remington, Henry (I08450)
2957	I have roughly estimated the birth years of some of James & Mary's children.	Rogers, James (I24332)
2958	I have roughly estimated the birth years of the 10 children. The following notes are from the family tree of Barry Beverage at Rootsweb's Worldconnect: [John was a] Scottish prisoner captured at the Battle of Worcester; transported to the colonies on the "John and Sarah," 1651/2. Arrived in Boston in February, 1652. All 10 children named in "Articles of Agreement," dated 1 Feb. 1692/3, between Sarah Munro, relict of John Munroe, and her 6 older children. (Information supplied by Roger Joslyn of NEHGS.) According to "The Scots In Unity" the prisoners on the "John and Sarah" were captured at the Battle of Worcester. There are four Munroes listed as prisoners aboard the "John and Sarah": Robert, John, Hugh; the first name of the fourth is too torn to read, but believed to be William. John accompanied Constant Southworth on January 28, 1674, as one of the witnesses to the land deed between Southworth and the Indian Squaw Sachem Awashunks for the land at Sakonnet (Little Compton). By 1688/9, John had moved to Bristol, RI which was founded in 1680 on the land (Mt. Hope) which had been King Philip's territory before the war. The following info is summarized and edited from notes accompanying the family tree of Debbie Allen at Rootsweb's Worldconnect, which cites as the source "The Monroe Book" by Dr. Joan Guilford: John is the same as the "John Monrow" who came on the John & Sarah of London 12 May 1652 along with three other "Monrow" passengers listed as Robert, Hugh & "_____." This latter passenger, whose first name was obliterated in the record, has been demonstrated clearly by testimony as being William, who stated that he came in 1652. All were shipped as prisoners of war and consigned to Thomas Kemble to whom they were indentured. They all arrived at Boston and nothing futher was heard of John until he appeared on a record in Rhode Island in Oct of 1669.	MUNROE, John (I17495)
2959	I have roughly estimated the birth years of William and his wife.	Battey, William Sr. (I08736)
2960	I have roughly estimated their year of marriage.	Family F10798
2961	I have roughly estimated Thomas's year of birth.	Hall, Thomas (I01982)
2962	I have roughly estimated Thomas's year of birth. The RI Genealogical REgister Vol. 19 pp. 275 & 278 give different years for his date of birth: 1707/08 and 1708/09. I have not viewed any original records or documents.	KINNECUTT, Thomas Sr. (I17489)
2963	I have seen a copy of the marriage certificate.	Family F06982
2964	I have seen her name as either Catherine or Ella.	Remington, Catherine Ella (I08661)
2965	I have speculated that the following information in the Portsmouth land records could refer to this John: John Remington late of Warwick, labourer, was a resident of Prudence Island by 3 or 30 June 1744 when he bought land from Ebenezer Allin yeoman of PI. JR paid 400 pounds for 20 acres abutted as follows: S on land of John Allin, E on the Bay or Saltwater, W & N on land of sd Ebenezer Allin the grantor. Witnessed by Daniel Pearce Jun & William Remington. No wives mentioned. (Po Land Ev Bk 4 p 359) Could he be the John Remington of Warwick who had a wife named Freelove? He died in 1745.	Remington, John (I20406)
2966	I have speculated that the following information in the Warwick land records could refer to these individuals (courtesy of Cherry Fletcher Bamberg): 11 March 1744/5: Mrs. Freelove Remington, widow of John Remington, late of Warwick, deceased, exhibited an inventory of her husband's estate. The clerk was instructed to give her a letter of administration. [Her administration bond on file in WK] 1 February 1745/46 at the home of Lt. John Low: Freelove Remington, having given bond, presented an inventory of John Remington's estate and received a letter of administration.	Unknown, Freelove (I22852)
2967	I have two copies of their marriage certificate, one from Aarhus and one from Aabyhoj.	Family F00196
2968	I have two daughters named Mary in this family, so I need to find out if one Mary married two husbands.	Wightman, Captain John (I05816)
2969	I have two different copies of his birth certificate, one a card issued at Coventry, RI, and the other a paper from the RI Dept. of Health. I am told he was born on a Tuesday. My dad Norman was born on the family farm off Knotty Oak Rd. in Coventry, RI. We have some pictures of the farm (see Remington section of the photo gallery, "Remington brothers together," at our web site). Tragically, the two-family farmhouse burned down when my dad was six years old. After this, his family moved into a shanty and stayed there for a while. Quoted below are some reminiscences from my dad Norman about his grandmother Angeretta (Whitford) Remington, about the big farmhouse, and about the fire there. They always believed the fire was set. The adjoining farm belonged to my dad's uncle, John Francis (we called him Uncle Fran), who kept cows there even when I was a child in the 1950s. We used to go blueberrying there, and I was afraid of being confronted face-to-face by a cow, which did actually happen once! In very recent years that property has passed out of our family, and part of it is now a new plat. One of the streets is Remington Farm Drive. On an old map, I've seen that another Remington may have owned that land adjacent to my great uncle. About the farmhouse: "There were two front doors. The first one as one approached from the road led into a long hall way extending the width of the main section of the house. At the end was the door opening into the ell kitchen. Doors on the left were to my Grandmother's bedroom (used whenever she was with us) and to a downstairs bedroom. At a right angle to that was the door to the cellar stairs. The stairway to the upstairs rooms began near the door to the kitchen. From the right side of the hall were doors to the parlor (as it was called in those days) and the dining room. "Grandma's bedroom windows were between the front doors. The second one was Aunt Velna's front door, which opened into a small entry, from which a door to the left led into her parlor. "My grandmother [Angeretta] was a practical nurse, attending women about to give birth and for some time afterwards. Confinements lasted several days at that time. Between work opportunities she would be on the farm, sleeping in her room in our house, where the furnishings were hers. So my earliest memories are that she was with us from time to time. When she was there she was a great help to my mother. Later on she also worked as a housekeeper/cook. When I was in the second grade she kept house for a Mrs. Maynard (or Menard), who was legally blind. This was on Boston Street, Anthony, which is off the main street directly opposite the big mill. "The fire destroyed the house December 27, 1924. It was discovered some time before daybreak, when my mother thought my father was trying to waken her. Later, she always said she thought it was an angel. Anyway, she smelled smoke, and woke my father. Our collie dog, Major, usually was in the kitchen overnight (no doubt, during cold weather), and he pushed open the door to the hall, again no doubt because of flames and heat. All of us were out of the house, and in my father's truck, in the big meadow across the driveway from the house, while it was still dark." Dad enlisted at Providence, RI, on 29 Aug 1942, as a Private in the US Army. He was a resident of Providence, married, an insurance clerk with 2 years of college; height 74 inches and weight 158 lbs.	REMINGTON, Norman Chester (I00002)
2970	I have very happy memories of my grandmother, which is one reason why I named my older daughter after her. We would often visit her on Heath Avenue in Warwick. Once I even got to spend the night with her. The next day we walked a couple of miles to the shopping center across from Aldrich Junior High. I wanted to buy some doll clothes, but she said, "I can make those for you, Dear." And she did -- beautiful ones, for our baby dolls and grown-up dolls. She did lovely embroidery, too, which she gave as gifts in the form of pillows, table and bed linens, and framed pictures. In later years, when she moved to Ashland, MA, we would usually ride up to see her on Sunday afternoons. After I learned to drive, one summer day I borrowed my dad's car and drove up there with my cousin Barbara, and we took her to the seashore for lunch. Another time I rolled her hair up for her. In the early 1970s, Rich and I would drop in on her, and get her talking about the old days. Once she got started, the stories followed one after another. She'd get out the photographs, laugh about this or that event, and often give her opinion in no uncertain terms. More than once she said she had married too young, on her 18th birthday. But I'm glad she did, because my dad was born a little over a year later, the first of six sons. What a life! I'm sure her marriage, and her whole life, had its ups and downs. At one point their farmhouse burned down, and the family had to move into a little shanty for a while. My grandparents certainly set an example of hard work and determination for generations to follow. While I never met my grandfather, I know he was proud of his children and grandchildren. My grandmother was very much a part of our family, and I only wish she had lived to be a part of the lives of my children, too. I have copies of Laura's birth, marriage, and death certificates, plus a copy of the page from the 1900 Census at Bristol which shows her family when Laura was one year old. Also, her gravestone has been photographed. The birth record at Bristol says she is the second child born to Frank & Mary Chafee.	CHAFEE, Laura Russel (I00005)
2971	I have very roughly estimated the birth years of James & Elizabeth's children. From land evidence: James Rogers Sr. of Ex yeoman and Elizabeth Rogers his wife for L100 to my son James Rogers Jr. of Ex 20 A land in Ex bounded in part on land of John Rogers; dtd 10 Aug 1743, Exeter. The will of James Rogers of South Kingstown was dated 12 Sep 1755 and proved 11 Nov 1755. It mentions his wife Elizabeth, and the following children: John, James, Joseph, Samuel, Robert, Stephen, Harper, and Susannah. (Thomas ??) I have not seen the original will.	Rogers, James (I24359)
2972	I have viewed the original marriage entry in the North Kingstown Archives. Samuel W. Austin, age 34 Lucy T. Willcox, age 24 married Jan/Feb 2, 1864 (can't discern which month, but has to be one or the other) If the ages are correct, this means Samuel was most likely born in 1829, assuming his birthday was later in the year than his marriage.	Family F00227
2973	I have wondered if she may have been a single mom, possibly the mother of "Thomas Remington, of Prudence," who was b c1735/36 and living in Coventry, RI, in the 1790 Federal Ccensus. This is only speculation in an attempt to explain this notation on the census, as well as explain Thomas's mystery parentage. If someone else knows who his parents are, I would like to know also.	Remington, Prudence (I02921)
2974	I haven't figured out yet who Almy's parents were.	Remington, Almy (I16675)
2975	I obtained Clara's maiden name from the birth record of son Fowler.	Trask, Clara Adeline (I16113)
2976	I obtained Clemence's date of birth from her family Bible record, now at Hanover College Libray in PA. The marriage of Clemence Remington & Clarke Cornell took place at Newport, which is close to Jamestown, where this family lived. BSR says John died at Newport. "Family Record Taken from the Bible of Cemence (sic) Cornell late of Newport Deceased" (Hanover College Library Quaker Collection, PA): Births: John Remington born in Jamestown 7 Feb 1724 Mary Remington born 9 Apr 1725 Jonathan Remington born 10 Feb 1749 Dinah Remington born 10 May 1751 Catharine Remington born 8 May 1754 Benedict Remington born 20 Apr 1756 Mary Remington born 26 Apr 1758 Tiddeman Remington born 9 Feb 1760 Gershom Remington born 28 Feb 1762 Clemence Remington born 16 Apr 1766 Clarke Cornell 22 Aug 1763 Benjamin C. Cornell born 19 Apr 1788 John Cornell born 1 June 1791 (could be 1 Jan, there is an ink blot on the page) John Cornell born 7 June 1795 Clarke Cornell born 22 June 1797 Jonathan Paston (?) Cornell born 11 Mar 1800 Deaths: John Remington died 15 Nov 1809 aged 83 Mary Remington died 30 Mar 1808 aged 83 Jonathan Remington died July 1787 Gershom Remington died 15 July 1790 Clarke Cornell died 25 July 1800 aged 37 John Cornell died 28 July 1791 aged 1 month 28 days (so he was born in June) John Cornell died 14 Aug 1795 aged 1 month 7 days (which would make him born in July but the birth record clearly reads June) Clarke Cornell died 23 Aug 1797 aged 1 day and 7 hours (which makes no sense given his birth date) Jonathan Paston Cornell died 11 Aug 1800 aged 5 months All of this is in the same handwriting (presumably Clemence's) and at the end in another handwriting Clemence Cornell died 12 Jan 1838 aged 71 years 8 months and 26 days There was no mention of any marriages.	Remington, Clemence (I17547)
2977	I obtained her maiden name from the RI Historical Cemetery Commission website.	Svedelius, Jane (I21671)
2978	I obtained Nancy's maiden name from the 1930 census, where two of her sisters are listed as living in the household.	Lindsey, Nancy (I22126)
2979	I obtained Polly's maiden name from Cyndee's family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect (needs more research to confirm.) In the Federal Census of 1900, Polly Remington is a widow age 57 NY, living at Comstock, Douglas Co., OR. She is with married daughter Minnie Stewart and her family. Also in the household is Minnie's mother-in-law Eliza J. Stewart, and Polly's daughter Eva R. Remington 15 OR. They are listed next to Ira Remington and family. In 1910 Polly Remington is living with married daughter Eva Cooley and family at Pass Creek, Douglas Co., OR.	Kelley, Polly Ann (I23945)
2980	I obtained the marriage information from the divorce record. I found Mary's maiden name on the marriage record of son William John Remington. The reason for the divorce was extreme cruelty.	Family F08403
2981	I suspect she may have been Lucy Almy Manchester, named after her paternal grandmother. Is she the Lucy A. Manchester, age 29, housekeeper living at Warwick in the 1870 census, with Charles Grey?	Manchester, Lucy A. (I00918)
2982	I think he and his wife are the John & Sarah Potter whose graves are in the Hopkins-Potter Lot in Foster, RI.	Potter, John (I26817)
2983	I think she is most likely the Wealthy A. Remington, 19, living with her grandparents and aunt Sarah Ham and family in 1880.	Remington, Wealthy A. (I19478)
2984	I think the census takers may not have known how to spell his name. In 1850 it looks like Raslin, and in 1880 is looks like Ransleer. I believe this is the same individual, probably named Rensselaer. In 1880, Ransleer & Amelia Remington, ages 32 & 29, are living at St. Albans, Franklin Co., VT. They have a daughter Cora, age 5.	Remington, Raslin Rensleer (I18207)
2985	I think the Ellery Manchester who married Abby King is NOT the son of John & Nancy. However, I am still researching this family. This entry in the RI Cemetery Database has Ellery dying in 1841: MANCHESTER, Ellery 1802c - 1 May 1841 PV001. If this is accurate, he can not be the one who married Abby, because they are in the 1850 & 1860 censuses. The year of birth for Abby's husband seems to be c1807 or 1808, from the census data. If he is not the son of this couple, whose son is he? (This needs more research.)	Manchester, Ellery (I18043)
2986	I think the following data pertains to this particular Henry Brightman, our ancestor (My mom Edna's ancestral line): Henry Brightman of Freetown, MA, was a Sergeant in Capt. Joseph Durfee's co; in this position he served three months, from 9 Apr to 9 Jul 1778. He was also a Captain in Col. Livingston's regiment, serving one month, 2 Jun to Jul 2 1779 at Freetown and RI. Henry was also Captain, 10th co., 2nd Bristol Co., MA, regiment. He is on a list of officers of MA Militia; was commissioned 10 Aug 1779. Henry also served in Col. John Hathaway's regiment; he entered the service 1 Aug 1780 and was discharged 7 Aug 1780, serving 6 days on an alarm at RI. He also served in Col. James Dean's regiment, serving 6 days from 8 Mar to 14 Mar 1781.	BRIGHTMAN, Henry (I18671)
2987	I think this graveastone information pertains to this particular Jeremiah Clarke.	Clarke, Jeremiah II (I27865)
2988	I think this is the "Cousin Johnnie" we have photos of from the 1940s. Two are military photos. One family tree at ancestry says he died in 2005 at Chiltern, Buckinghamshire, England. I found three individuals with the same name in the records; one died in 2002 and the other two died in 2005. I will need to confirm that this John actually is one who died in 2005.	Coleman, John J. (I28346)
2989	I think this is the correct date and location for my ancestors' marriage. The names, general location, and time frame seem correct.	Family F00056
2990	I think this marriage for "Lydia Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas & Elizabeth," belongs in this family group, as it is the only couple of this time period that seems to match with her. I am making that assumption pending further research. Lydia is probably the daughter of Betsey, sister of our ancestor Maplet Remington. The RI Cemetery Database has her year of death as 1884.	Remington, Lydia Elizabeth (I07101)
2991	I think this marriage record pertains to this William, but this needs more research to confirm: BATTEY William, and Rebecca Sayer; m. by Rev. Gardiner Thurston, March 17, 1778. I believe it is accurate because several of the names of William & Rebecca's children reflect the parentage of William Battey III: Phebe (Remington) his mother, Jane (his mother), Stephen (Remington) his maternal great-grandfather. I don't yet have an accurate birth year for William; I have given it a rough estimate based on the year of his parents' marriage.	Battey, William III (I11826)
2992	I was born on a Tuesday. My son Paul was born on my birthday in 1979. He was my best birthday present ever!	REMINGTON, Lois Edna (I00001)
2993	I was not sure if William belonged in this family group, but Nancy Olejniczak provided information that confirmed it as fact, including date of death and name of father in the death record. Email message dated 20 Oct 2017 from Nancy Olejniczak: "In your tree there is a William Remington, suspected son of Stephen Remington. I just located a Michigan Death record for him on Family Search which gives his father's name as Stephen Remington." One family tree has his name as William T. Remington, born 21 Aug 1821, Onondaga Co., NY. The death record at Hersey, Osceola, MI says he died in NY, a widower age 71. In the Federal Census of 1850, William & Caroline, ages 29 & 24, are living at Geddes, Onondaga Co., NY. They have three young children. In the same town are Stephen & Jane Remington. In the Federal Census of 1860, William is at Camillus, Onondaga Co., NY. His wife is named Elizabeth -- not Caroline -- but she is still from PA and with approximately the same birth year as Caroline in the previous census. Perhaps she goes by both names. Or, she could be a second wife. Their ages are given as 37 & 37. They have six children. In 1870 they are at Lysander, Onondaga Co., NY. William is 52 and Elizabeth is 48. There are two children in the household, Francis 17 and George M. 7.	Remington, William (I22715)
2994	I'm told that she was born on a Thursday.	Remington, Elizabeth Ann (I00051)
2995	Ichabod & Bathsheba are living at New Bedford in the 1850 & 1860 Federal Censuses. In 1850 they are next door to their daughter and son-in-law, Mary & Joseph Remington, and their family. In 1860 they are living with Mary, who has been widowed.	Coggeshall, Ichabod (I15501)
2996	Ichabod & Elizabeth Sheffield moved from Portsmouth to South Kingstown before 1700. "South Kingstown was set off and incorporated as a separate town in February, 1722. No regular town meeting was held, however, until 1723. This meeting was held at the house of Ichabod Sheffield, probably in January, 1723. John Watson was chosen moderator and Robert Hannah was chosen clerk. John Watson and John Babcock were chosen representatives. The second meeting was held March 4th, 1723. Job Babcock, John Watson, Ichabod Sheffield, William Gardiner, Jonathan Turner and Isaac Sheldon were chosen councilmen; Peleg Mumford, Joseph Mumford and Benjamin Reynolds, constables; Ichabod Sheffield, town treasurer; Solomon Carpenter, town sargent. On June 10th, 1723, it was voted that a town house should not be built. On November 20th, 1723, Stephen Hazard and John Watson were chosen representatives to sit in the general assembly at Newport. The meeting was held at the house of Ichabod Sheffield." (source: History of Washington and Kent Counties, Rhode Island, by J. R. Cole W.W.Preston & Co., New York, 1889; Chapter XIII, Town of South Kingstown, p. 481)	Sheffield, Ichabod Jr. (I01811)
2997	Ichabod & Sarah moved to Madison Co., NY.	Manchester, Ichabod (I19492)
2998	Ida & Arthur were baptized the same day.	Remington, Ida Louisa (I14207)
2999	Ida is age 14 in the 1880 Federal Census, living with her mother and two half-brothers at Belgrade, Nicollet Co., MN. In the MN 1905, US 1910 and 1920 censuses, Ida is living with her half-brother Edwin Farrar, still at Belgrade, MN. In the 1930 Federal Census, Ida is 63 and sill living at Belgrade, MN. In 1940, Ida Abbey is age 72, a lodger, living in San Buenaventura, Ventura Co., CA, with Lillian Schutt and family, I have a photo of her taken in June 1935.	Abbey, Ida Maria (I00083)
3000	Ida is age 19 in the 1880 Federal Census, living at Northbridge, MA, with her uncle & aunt James & Sarah. GREEN, IDA E (REMINGTON) 1860 - 18 JUN 1950 NS007	Remington, Ida E. (I10746)
