| 301 | A family tree at Rootsweb has this William as William III, s/o William WOOD b 5 May 1717 Rehoboth, Bristol, MA, and Patience WEAVER b 4 Aug 1716, who were married 12 July 1738 in East Greenwich, Kent, R.I. (This needs more research.) The marriage record at Warwick (Arnold's published records) identifies him as son of William. However, Elder Gorton's notes identify him as "son of Mr Samuel." See "Elder John Gorton and the Six Principle Baptist Church of East Greenwich, RI" edited by Cherry Fletcher Bamberg, pub by RI Genealogical Society, 2001, p 233). James Arnold's marriage record: WOOD William, of William, and Ruth Gorton, of Dr. Samuel, both of Warwick, July 5, 1769. | Wood, Willam (I17706)

| 302 | A family tree at Rootsweb says she was born 10 Sep 1891. | Remington, Rhoda Jane (I17616)
|
| 303 | A family tree at Rootsweb says this is Lucy Amanda, born 3 Aug 1880. | Remington, Libby (I17614)
|
| 304 | A family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect has his year of death as 1807. Notes from "Remingtons of Utah" by Ward J. Roylance: Because of Tory activities, in Sept 1777 David Remington was arrested, imprisoned, and later and banished from his hometown of Castleton, VT. His property was confiscated for the use of the state. In Oct 1778 he relocated to Cumberland County, now comprising part of eastern Vermont and western New Hampshire. David & Sybil joined the Society of Shakers around 1787, moving to Canaan and New Lebanon, Columbia Co., NY. | Remington, David (I08077)
|
| 305 | A family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect has the following information on Job: Birth: 1 OCT 1794 in Cranston, RI Death: 5 JUN 1876 in Athens, OH In the Federal Census of 1850, Job & Anne are living at Athens, OH. Son Benjamin P. Randall, age 27 is with them; also a black woman named Betsy, 31; and Joseph 2 mulatto. In the 1860 Federal Census, Job & Ann C. are still at Athens. There are three other individuals living with them; Ann Eliza Stewart 40 (may be Betsy above), Joseph 12 (may be Joseph above), and Kingsly Sunderland 16. Next door is Benjamin P. Randall, his wife Ann, and their two children. In the 1870 Federal Census, Job is a widower, still living at Athens. His son Benjamin, wife and five children, are with him, along with three other individuals, two of whom are probably Ann Eliza (Sweet, Stewart?) and Joseph as above. | Randall, Job (I14076)
|
| 306 | A family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect has this Lydia as dying 17 Oct 1846 in Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT, and buried in Sugar Hill Cemetery in Wallingford. | Remington, Lydia (I07970)
|
| 307 | A family tree online has her name as Ella McKendrick. The marriage record says Alia? Smith | Smith, Alia or Ella (I25931)
|
| 308 | A Francis Tanner is mentioned many times during the 1700s in the land records of Hopkinton and Exeter, RI, at least as early as 1733; one example is below. He also witnessed a number of wills, and appears to have been on the South Kingstown Town Council in 1740. Whether this is all the same individual, I am not sure. There was an earlier Francis Tanner, b c1660. This family needs more research. Francis & Elisabeth Tanner of South Kingstown signed over land to John Tanner, Jr., of RI, on 1 Feb 1757. Also, Francis Tanner is mentioned as "uncle" in the 25 Aug 1743 will of Mary Vilate, of South Kingstown, singlewoman. The will of Francis Tanner, of Hopkinton, was dated 25 Oct 1776. It mentions his wife Elizabeth; sons Josias & Isaac (under 21), the two oldest; William, & Joshua; daughters Amy, Dorcas, & Susannah; and brothers Benjamin & Nathan. For the present, I making an assumption that this is the Francis Tanner who was the father of Joshua who married Elizabeth Sheldon. | Tanner, Francis (I15310)

| 309 | A gedcom I received shows two Catherines born to this family, one in June 1814 and the other in Feb 1816. | Coleman, Catharine (1) (I03495)
|
| 310 | A genealogy at Rootsweb has her date of death as 05 March 1961. | Merrill, Josephine Remington (I10150)
|
| 311 | A genealogy at Rootsweb's Worldconnect has this John Smith as a brother of Jeremiah Smith b c1648. It also has the same surname for both of their wives. | Smith, John (I13908)
|
| 312 | A genealogy in the Special Collections at NE Hist & Gen Soc has their marriage date as 29 May 1836. Was she a second wife? It seems that two of the children were born before then. | Family F04510
|
| 313 | A genealogy of the Usher family says John was born 27 Sep 1723 (source: A Brief Genealogy of the Usher Family of New England, by William Henry Whitmore, at Google Books). | Usher, Rev. John (I02660)
|
| 314 | A girl named Ann Coleman died in Mansfield at age 11, between July and Sep 1882; I have made an assumption that is this Ann, sister of my grandmother. | Coleman, Ann (I00235)
|
| 315 | A great evangelist -- read his bio at Wikipedia. His parents are Morrow Coffey and William Franklin Graham. | Graham, Rev. Dr. William "Billy" Franklin (I24057)
|
| 316 | A handwritten note with a family genealogy says Charles had a twin named Deborah. It may be that this is true, and that the two were named for their maternal grandparents. However, Deborah must have died in infancy. Although I have not found any other evidence of the birth of Deborah, I am including her here on the basis of that note, written by a family member several generations removed. (from materials loaned to me by Dorothy Higson White of the Roger Williams Family Association; original notes written by Virginia Adair, descendant of William Aborn Remington) | Remington, Deborah (I14879)
|
| 317 | A Jeremiah Gifford witnessed deed executed by Stephen Wing on the 2nd day of December, 1700, concerning Stephen's property in Sandwich, MA. If the Jeremiah who witnessed this is the son of Sarah Wing, then he was signing a deed of his grandfather. Jeremiah & Mary settled in Dartmouth, where all of their children were born. Jeremiah left no will, but during his lifetime deeded land to his sons Joseph, William, Jonathan, Isaac, Peleg, Benjamin, Adam, & David. Another son, Gideon, died in 1760, and in his will he mentioned by name sisters Elizabeth, Margaret (Potter), & Sarah (Parks), and a brother John. Jeremiah & Mary had two sets of twins. Note: "Soule descendants have shown a strong genetic trait of twinning." (see "Mayflower Descendants Through Five Generations" Vol. 3 , George Soule, p. 14) | Gifford, Jeremiah (I01750)
|
| 318 | A Jeremiah Rogers was admitted into membership at the First Sabbatarian Church of Hopkinton in 1768. | Rogers, Jeremiah (I24402)
|
| 319 | A Joshua Boomer is listed as selectman for Freetown, MA, in 1754 and 1755. Joshua's will dated 1 Feb 1772, proved 27 Dec 1773 at Taunton, mentions: brother Caleb Boomer, his son Joshua and grandson John Boomer; sister Mary Elsbury; sons and dtrs of my three deceased sisters Marcy Luther, Deborah Mason, Ruth Salisbury; cousins Hannah and Martha Boomer, Ellener Luther and Lydia Deneston, and Mercy Boomer; cousin Patience Boomer dtr of cousin Marcy Boomer; cousin Benjamin Jencks; kinsman Boomer Elsbury. | Boomer, Joshua (I18120)
|
| 320 | A Josiah Nottage constructed the Charles River Bridge between Boston and Cambridge in the 1790s. He also built in 1795 a bridge in Newark, NJ, across the Passaic River. He was considered "the country's premier bridge builder." (source: Google books) Apparently he knew John Hancock: Hancock, John, 1732-1793. A.D.s.; Boston, 15 Feb 1785. 1s.(1p.) Order for rations for Josias Nottage. Acquisition Information: *57JM-34(6) Bequest of Lee M. Friedman, 1957. (Houghton Library, Harvard College Library, Cambridge, MA) "Josias of Katherine Nottage" was baptized and/or accepted into membership at the Church in Brattle Square, Boston, on 13 Feb 1757. (See notes for Katherine) | Nottage, Josias (I23612)
|
| 321 | A Josiah Remington is mentioned several times in the Portsmouth Town Council records. Also, a Josiah Remington is mentioned in the East Greenwich Town Council records, he having gone there from Prudence Island, Portsmouth. I have made an assumption that they are the same individual, and that he is or may be a son of William Remington whose wife Abigail who also went from Prudence Island to East Greenwich. This is purely speculation in piecing together the available evidence. According to the East Greenwich records (source: Cherry Fletcher Bamberg, editor of RI Roots and Gleanings), Josiah testified that he came to East Greenwich from Portsmouth about April 1742. He is identified as "Josiah Remington of Prudence Island." He said he had lived in Portsmouth 10+ years, and made his living doing farm work, primarily as a day laborer. He said there were 11 in his family, which I take to mean two parents and 9 children. From this I guess he might have been born c1695-1700 and married c1720-1725. Could he have been anyone's son other than William's? (such as Joseph Remington b 1654 or his son John b 1680, Jamestown records?) 1730 census of Prudence Island (Par 56): Josias Remington (Josiah) William Remington Granted permit by Portsmouth to live elsewhere - 1743 Josiah Remington to Warwick (Par 91) Above three excerpts from research by Charles Gregory Maytum "Paragraphs on Early Prudence Island"; and Remington family manuscript file. From Portsmouth Town Council records: 17 Aug 1732: Josiah Remington, a member of coroner's Grand Inquest appointed to investigate deaths of Negro and Indian men - possibly drowned by accident off Warwick shore and driven on shore at Prudence Island (Par 59; also Bk 3) 9 May 1743: Josiah Remington of PI given certificate to remove to Warwick and settle there for 4-year term if Town Council there accept him; sd Remington qualified (Bk 3 p 290) From Warwick Town Coucil Records (courtesy of Cherry Fletcher Bamberg): 13 June 1743: Jeremiah Lippitt was ordered to issue a warrant to warn out Josiah Remington and his family. 16 June 1744: Josiah Remington produced a certificate for himself and his family from Portsmouth. The certificate was good for four years. The council refused to accept the certificate with the time restriction but told him that they would accept a standard one. 11 February 1744/5: Josiah Remington and William Wood and their families were in town without settlement and likely to become chargeable. The council ordered that a warrant be issued to "carry" them out of town. 6 April 1747: Josiah Remington of Warwick, deceased "some time since," leaving a small estate in Warwick. The council offered administration first to the unnamed widow and then to the son Peleg Remington who both refused. The clerk was to post notices in Warwick and surrounding towns asking creditors to come forward at the next quarterly meeting. | Remington, Josiah (I20405)

| 328 | A native of England, William Wood came to America scarcely under a century ago accompanied by his wife. They settled in Providence. R. I. When the gold fever caught the country, with its accompanying whirl-wind of prospecting and mining, William Wood, Sr., joined the ranks of the 'forty-niners' and went West to California, where he died shortly after his arrival. (from "History of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations," Biographical; NY: The American Historical Society, Inc., 1920, p. 373f) | Wood, William (I16250)
|
| 329 | A notation in "One Hundred and Sixty Families" by John Osburne Austin, p. 13, suggests that she was b 1703 and that her name was Susanna Lorana Arnold." (Definitely needs more research.) | Arnold, Lorana (I04010)
|
| 330 | A notation in the death record says "insane." | Remington, Olive (I11308)
|
| 331 | A notation in the Mary E. Rice Collection identifies Benjamin's second wife as Catherine Brannigan. This may simply be someone's error in remembering an Irish surname, or perhaps this was her maiden name, and she had been married before she married Benjamin. She may be the Catherine Remington, age 71, widow of Benjamin, who died 21 May 1935 in Providence, RI (Prov 182 at RI State Archives). | McGuire, Catherine (I00362)
|
| 332 | A notation says that William was "non comp" -- meaning mentally incompetent. Boyd Scott Remington's chart shows this son as being born c. 1820, after Allen's second marriage. Possibly he died fairly young and another son was named after him. | Remington, William (I11878)
|
| 333 | A note in the family Bible spells his name as Urbin. Probably this is how it was pronounced. The two young brothers, Urbane & Ambrose, died just two days apart. | Greene, Urbane A. (I18832)
|
| 334 | A note online says that Robert Sterry, a widower, fathered an illegitimate child by Almy. She kept the child and later married. | Potter, Almy (I26776)
|
| 335 | A Pierce genealogy says David was born 14 Jan 1726. According to "The Pierce Project" web site, David is a descendant of Captain Michael Pierce. | Peirce, David (I15199)
|
| 336 | A probate document (found online by Dulcie Stewart) for Joseph Rounds has confirmed my assumption that Andrew C. is truly Charles A. in this family, and that he is the individual who sailed from New Bedford and settled in Fiji 1850-1851. See explanation and details below. An Andrew Rounds went on a whaling voyage in 1847. In the 1850 census at Dartmouth, MA, Andrew is age 19 and a sailor, living with his parents Joseph and Mary. Charles A. Rounds age 14, greenhand, hometown Dartmouth, sailed from New Bedford on the ship Canton on 28 June 1845, headed for the Indian Ocean and due to return in 1847. Charles A. is the same individual as Andrew who was born 1831, son of Joseph and Mary. Andrew is back in the 1850 census as mentioned above but disappears from all records after that. Occupation is given as sailor. By his own sworn testimony Charles Rounds settled in Fiji sometime around 1851; he married there in 1856. DNA shows a match between me and Charles's descendants, and this is the only family I know of that could be the link. Apparently at some point he went by his middle name, Andrew, but for some reason was simply known as Charles in Fiji. It appears that Charles visited Fiji in June 1846 on an early voyage; he was back home in time for a voyage in 1847 and returned home again to be in the 1850 census. It must have been shortly after this that he went on another voyage, returning to Fiji in 1851 to settle there. A note concerning his death on 6 Aug 1883 at Suva says he was Charles Rounds of Taunton, MA. I have checked the censuses for Rounds families in Taunton. In 1840 there were two families who had young boys: Marcus T. Round and Andrew Round. In 1850 these two families were still in Taunton; Marcus's son Charles A. Rounds was born c1833 and he is still in the 1855 MA State census and is listed in the Civil War at age 30, so he cannot be the one who went to Fiji. Andrew Round is Andre Rounds in 1850 and his son is a junior born c1838; he marries in New Bedford in 1859; so those families were eliminated as possibilities. Why did he never use a middle initial in Fiji? Another thought is that he went to live with relatives and that's why he is not in the 1840 census with his siblings. There were several households of their relatives living in both Dartmouth and New Bedford. I did receive his death certificate from Dulcie which lists his children, including a Joseph and Josephine, which is interesting to me as so often family names were used for the children. William, Thomas, and John are also family names, but these can be fairly common. I found a brief reference to Charles in a book at Google Books online; the title is "Native American Whalemen and the World . . ." by Nancy Shoemaker, p 135. It mentions that Charles Rounds of New Bedford was reimbursed the $155 due him from the people of Kadavu. For more information on Charles in Fiji: https://roundsfiji.tribalpages.com/ All of the following notes are from Dulcie Stewart's blog: https://fragmentedidentities.wordpress.com/2009/07/15/a-new-day/ "I then emailed the US National Archives-Northeast Region, Waltham, MA and they were able to provide me with the following information from Crew List complied 1820-1939:" Name: Charles A. Rounds Ship: CANTON Place of birth: Dartmouth, MASS. Place of residence: New Bedford, MASS. Citizen of the US age 14, height 5' 1 Departure date was July 28, 1845 "The Canton arrived in Fiji June 29, 1846 (Robert Langdon, 1984) and in Australia July 20, 1846 (NSW Archives)." "According to John Young (1984) Charles Rounds arrived in Fiji in 1851, his source was the Land Claims Commission 1875-1887." "Charles Rounds was the first Rounds in Fiji. He arrived April 1851 on a whaling vessel from New Bedford, Massachusetts, United States. He married Fanny Pickering, daughter of Charles Pickering and Burekovia Tabuakovei of Burebasaga Village, Rewa." From Dulcie's email: Charles Rounds arrived in Fiji in April 1851 (Fiji Land Claims Rehearing: No. 23 Toga Island, 4th January 1878). He died 6 August 1883 in Suva and was reported by William Henry Bruce to the US Secretary of State that Charles was from Taunton (Consular Despatches, No. 11). However on Charles death certificate (attached), his place of birth given is New Bedford, and on his son's birth certificate (John Round born 2 July 1878) he was listed as being 46 (so born about 1832) and from New Bedford. | Rounds, Charles Andrew (I28784)

| 337 | A query posted on the Manchester mailing list at rootsweb.com gives their marriage date as 18 March 1804, Tiverton, no source noted. | Family F06904
|
| 338 | A Remington genealgy from Valorie Sherman has Lucinda marrying Royal Firman in 1847. However, in the 1850 census she is Lucinda Remington, age 30, living with her parents and aged grandfather. Also in the household are Charles & Mary Firman. Perhaps Charles is Lucinda's husband but the census taker did not write her correct married name? In the same census, Royal Firman is age 29, the Town Clerk, living with the Carpenter family. | Remington, Lucinda (I13220)
|
| 339 | A Remington genealogy from Valorie Sherman gives her name as Jemima. | Remington, Jennie Ann (I15035)
|
| 340 | A Robert Dennis was removed from Quaker fellowship and disowned as a member on 27 Feb 1781 at Portsmouth, because he had entered on board a private vessel of war, contrary to Quaker principles of peace. I am not sure which Robert Dennis that was, but it may be this individual. | Dennis, Robert (I22416)
|
| 341 | A Roxey Remington is listed as living in Harrisville, NY, in the 1895 census. Roxey Remington is also listed in the census as the wife of Hiram Lawrence (in the 1880 census he is divorced). | Remington, Roxy (I22692)
|
| 342 | A Scituate deed records a land transaction between James Tucker and Joseph Remington, both of Warwick, dated 15 Oct 1731. Mr. Tucker sold Mr. Remington land in Scituate on the banks of the Pawtuxet River, bounded by Othniel Gorton's land. Witnesses were Ezekiel Warner and Samuel Barton, and the deed was recorded 3 Jan 1732. Interestingly, Othniel's wife was Mercy Burlingame, aunt to Margaret Burlingame, Joseph Remington's wife. (Scituate Deeds, Births, & Marriages, Vol. 1, p. 48) Presumably the family moved from Warwick to Scituate around this time. On 15 March 1743, Joseph Remington, of Providence, deeded to his son Thomas Remington, of Scituate, and his heirs, a parcel of land in Scituate bounded by the Seven Mile Line, westerly northwesterly and northeasterly of the Pawtuxet River, northeasterly of Edward Potter's land. Joseph's will mentions his wife Margarett; sons Thomas, Joseph, & Lippitt; and daughter Martha Collins. If Stephen and Margaret were actually his children, they must have died before the date of his will. Daughter Margaret may have been the Margaret Remington who married Ebenezer Allin on 21 May 1761 (this needs more research to confirm). From Barbara Chase: "Date of death -- Cranston, RI Town Council Bk 1; p. 170 'Joseph Remington of Cranston . . . yeoman who departed this Life on 22nd Day of September AD 1763 . . . ' His wife Margaret as sole executrix of his LWT was granted letters of administration . . . If you follow the land records you can easily place Joseph & Margaret Remington and most of their children in what is now the southeast corner of Scituate and the southwest corner of Cranston. They are buried there. Their lands were on both sides of Seven Mile Rd. (then portion of the original 17th century Seven Mile Line) that led to records in both towns." | Remington, Joseph I (I02911)
|
| 343 | A Seth Granger is in the 1850 Federal Census at Suffield, CT; but no census image is available to confirm he is this individual, although it is a fair assumption. | Granger, Seth (I09049)
|
| 344 | A slave of Nehemiah Rhodes, named Richard Rhodes, entered the army in 1781 to obtain his freedom. During the Revolution he assisted in the capture of the British General Prescott at Portsmouth. James Arnold's VRs have Nehemiah's year of birth as 1731. RHODES Capt. Nehemiah, at Cranston, suddenly, at an advanced age, Jan. 22, 1801. Death, Providence "Of Nehemiah's Edgewood lands, the three sisters each received a portion of the seventy-eight acre farm bordering Providence River, with Sally receiving the south lot, Anstis the middle lot, and Abby the north lot containing the family homestead. William received a parcel at the corner of Broad Street and Park Avenue, and Anstis another tract immediately west of her brother, bounded by the present corner of Park and Warwick Avenues. In 1853 the heirs of Abby Thornton (the children of her sister Anstis Greene) sold Alien Shaw her share of her father's estate; in 1860, the heirs of Sally Rhodes Remington Greene sold her share to Joseph S. Winsor." (source: findagrave.com) | Rhodes, Captain Nehemiah (I02421)
|
| 345 | A son (deceased) named Henry is not mentioned in Joseph's will. However, the records for Warwick show the death of Henry H. Remington, son of Joseph & Ann, at age 19, unmarried, 29 August 1801. Joseph names his wife as Ann in his will. Whether there was another couple named Joseph & Ann in this time period, I have not yet discovered. In the meantime, I am including Henry in this family group, based on the death record. | Remington, Henry H. (I09727)
|
| 346 | A transcribed birth record I have has his dob as 27 Mar 1883. | Nottage, George L. Jr. (I16080)
|
| 347 | A tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect shows him to be a son of Phineas King & Lowly Smith. (This needs more research to confirm.) In the 1850, 1860, & 1870 Federal Censuses, Henry & Betsey are living at Ellisburg, Jefferson Co., NY. They are with their son Henry A. King and his family. | King, Henry (I22155)
