| 3004 | If indeed Israel is the son of Jacob and Abigail, he was born a twin to Amos. | Haskell, Israel (I28425)
|
| 3005 | If indeed it is this Harriet who married Gates T. Embury (or Emery), her middle initials are E. C., according to the marriage record. Gates is in NH without her in the 1860 census, so I have assumed she died. | Remington, Harriett (I07998)
|
| 3006 | If she is the Mrs. Phebe Remington who died in Cranston 4 Feb 1822, then she can not be the wife of this Peleg, because he was married to Mary Tower during this time. I have found a marriage reference for Peleg Remington to Phebe Field, daughter of William. In the 19 Dec 1825 will of Freelove Field (widow of William), she mentions two grandchildren: John & Mary Remington. However, what complicates this is that in the death records at Warwick, the entry for the death of John P. Remington says he was son of Peleg Remington & Amy Field. Is it possible that the informant at John's death got the name wrong? Are they two names for the same woman? Or, did Peleg marry two sisters? While this is certainly possible, I already have found three other wives for him, and it seems difficult to fit two additional wives into his life. One does nicely, between his other three marriages. (A Benjamin Remington, brother of my ancestor Jonathan, had four wives. Jonathan had three, before he died at age 50. In an era of widespread tuberculosis and frequent death in childbirth, this was not unusual.) I have estimated Phebe's year of birth based on her parents' ages and the birth years of her siblings. I have also made an assumption that she died around the time of the birth of her second child. However, this may be incorrect. Perhaps Phebe married a different Peleg Remington, s/o "Unknown" Remington. The Providence Phenix reported the death of a Mrs. Phebe Remington in her 46th year, at Cranston, 4 Feb 1822. In any case, I am placing Phebe here with this Peleg for the time being, pending further research. Also, her two children mentioned in their grandmother's will are here, although the son John may not be John P. Remington of Warwick, whose family is also placed here. | Field, Phebe (I10869)

| 3008 | If you use any of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and/or other sources as noted. From the Early Records of the Town of Portsmouth, RI: At a meeting of the town council 16 June 1651 -- "Robert Denis is received inhabitant amongst us and hath given his ingagement." (How old did a man have to be in order to be received as an inhabitant of a community in colonial RI? Would it have been 21, or as young as 18?) Also from the above source, on 25 Aug 1656 -- Robert Dennis, planter, purchased 20 acres in Portsmouth, RI, from Job Hawkins of Boston and his mother Jane. No one knows when this particular Robert Dennis was born. I initially assumed he may have been born c1640, based on his wife Sarah's birth year as 1645; but if he did buy land in 1656, I think he probably would have been at least 21 years of age by then, which would make his birth year no later than 1635. I am not sure if there was a strict age requirement for land purchases; there probably was, but there are exceptions to every rule, especially in a time when one's exact age was not always known. For details on this land purchase, see The Early Records of the Town of Portsmouth p 326, at Google Books and elsewhere. If he was at least 21 in 1651 when he was accepted as an inhibitant, that would place his year of birth as 1630 or earlier. So, based on the entry from 1651 and on the land purchase in 1656, I am tentatively estimating his birth year as 1630 (or before 1630), subject to further research. He may have been a son of Thomas Dennis who came to Boston in 1630 with Gov. Winthrop's fleet. Unfortunately, no complete list of passengers exists, so we don't know if other Dennis families came then. Research shows that Robert Dennis of Portsmouth is likely related somehow to the family of the aforementioned Thomas Dennis of Boston, later of Woodbridge, NJ; and to the family of Robert Dennis of Yarmouth, MA, who moved to Woodbridge, NJ, around 1668 and died there in 1674/75. That Robert named his children in the distribution of his lands and goods, but did not mention a son named Robert. For this reason, it seems more likely that Robert Dennis of Portsmouth may be a son of Thomas. We do find the name Thomas passed down to several of his descendants. On 9 July 1672 he deeded land in Portsmouth for use as a Quaker burial ground. This was prior to his marriage to Sarah. Sarah Howland's family were Quakers, subject to criticism and punishment in Massachusetts; so I speculate that Robert and Sarah decided to locate in RI territory because of the freedom of religion here. They were married during a Quaker meeting; see marriage notes. On 19 Apr 1680 at a town meeting at Portsmouth, Robert Dennis and two others were chosen to serve on the Grand Inquest. John Osborne Austin says that on 25 May 1691 he bought land in Monmouth, NJ, from Jedediah & Elizabeth Allen of Shrewsbury, NJ. The will of Robert Dennis of Portsmouth, dated 11 May 1691, proved 2 July 1691, mentions wife Sarah; sons Robert (eldest), Joseph, and John, all under 21; daughters Mary and Sarah; and brother-in-law Jedediah Allen. Land in Monmouth, NJ, went to eldest son Robert. He was probably buried in Portsmouth but the location of burial is not known. His age at death was not given. See notes for his wife Sarah. Misc. notes from Otis M. Humphrey and John Osborne Austin, my notes added in brackets: On 25 Aug 1656 a Robert Dennis, planter, purchased 20 acres in Portsmouth from Job and Jane Hawkins of Boston [but if this Robert was born c1640-45, he could not be the same individual who purchased land in 1656 -- too young; so maybe he was born earlier as noted above]. Austin omits a birth year. Robert Dennis was "admitted a freeman there" [where, Portsmouth? probably but not stated] in 1671 (source: Descendants of Robert Dennis of Portsmouth, RI by Otis M. Humphrey, NE Historic and Genealogical Register Vol 49 p 441; also John Osborne Austin's Genealogical Dictionary of RI p 65). [But the above source says he was admitted as an inhabitant in 1651.] Humphrey suggests that Robert might be related to Thomas Dennis, early settler of New Jersey. Jedidiah Allen was a judge in New Jersey, was also Robert Dennis's brother-in-law (they married two sisters); and Thomas Dennis's son Samuel served as a judge with Judge Allen [no source proof given that Samuel is s/o Thomas]. Robert was a member of Rhode Island's legislative House of Deputies 1673 - 1684. Robert Dennis of Yarmouth, MA, was also involved in land affairs in Woodbridge, NJ. There has been speculation that Robert Dennis of Portsmouth is a son of Robert Dennis of Yarmouth, but this suggestion is dismissed by Humphrey (above source, but no reasons given). Humphrey also says that Robert Dennis of Portsmouth was likely married in middle age; I don't know how he arrived at this thought -- but if so, could he not be the same individual as Robert Dennis of Yarmouth, who perhaps remarried and relocated from Yarmouth, MA, to Portsmouth, RI, after his first wife died? History of Yarmouth info online says Robert died there in 1669 but again, no source or reference given. Maybe he just disappeared from the records there -- that is my guess, as he appears in Woodbridge, NJ, around late 1668 and remains there up until 1674/75, when it may be assumed he died. There is much contradictory information on the identities of various Robert Dennises, but it seems clear to me that both Robert Dennis of Yarmouth, MA, and Robert Dennis of Portsmouth, RI, must have been at least fairly closely related as they both had family connections and land transactions in Woodbridge, NJ, and Newton, NJ. One article titled "Dennisania" by Charles E. Stickney appears to be well-researched BUT has this Robert Dennis purchasing land at age 11 -- not likely. So, beware of online articles and family trees. | DENNIS, Robert (I22375)

| 3009 | If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to all other sources as noted herein: Edmund Tiddeman/Teddeman was in the British Navy. He was also a Quaker. After July 1670, when the Friends' Horseleydown Meetinghouse in London was demolished by order of the king of England in council, private meetings were held in the home of Edmund Tiddeman until a meetinghouse could be rebuilt. In 1672 Capt. Tiddeman traveled with William Penn; he was in prison in 1683; c1684 he purchased over 700 acres in Burlington, NJ, probably intending to move there -- which he never did. This land eventually was passed down to his grandson, Joseph Hull, son of Allice (Tiddeman) Hull. (source: "The Hull Family in America" by Charles H. Weygant, Hull Family Association, 1913, p. 262) | Tiddeman, Edmund (I17091)

| 3010 | If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to all other sources as noted herein: John Hull was a son of Tristram Hull, a Quaker from Barnstable, MA; Tristram was a son of Rev. Joseph Hull, an Oxford-educated Anglican minister who had immigrated to Massachusetts, moved to Maine, back to England, and finally to New Hampshire. John Hull was a sea captain who made frequent trips between New England and London, England. On one of his voyages he met and married Alice Tiddeman, daughter of Edmund, who was in the British Navy. After their marriage in 1684, John & Alice lived in London for a little over two years. In 1687 they came to New England and settled on Conanicut Island (Jamestown), RI. He was Deputy from Jamestown to the RI General Assembly in 1698, 1703, 1706-7, and 1709. In 1712 he was Head Warden. (source: Genealogies of RI Families, Vol. II, p. 355) "Capt. John & Alice Tiddeman Hull remained in London for about two years after their marriage. Then they removed to Newport, RI, bringing with them a certificate from the monthly [Quaker] meeting at Horseleydown, dated 27th of 2nd month 1687, certifying that while resident there 'they behaved themselves in their lives and conversations as becometh friends of the Blessed Truth' . . . Capt. Hull purchased a plantation of 370 acres on the north end of Connonicut Island, in Narragansett Bay, and there built a mansion which eventually became their permanent home. This mansion was burned by the British in the winter of 1775-6, but was rebuilt and is still occupied by his descendants, and is known as the Old Hull Place." (source: "The Hull Family in America" by Charles H. Weygant, Hull Family Associaton, 1913, p. 262) Here is my summary/adaptation of a famous Rhode Island story: Captain John Hull's merchant ship traded between Newport, RI, and London, England. He was a Quaker who settled on Conanicut Island (Jamestown, RI) but also spent a fair amount of time in London in between voyages across the Atlantic. He took on as an apprentice a boy from England named Charles Wager, whose father, a British naval officer, had died when Charles was an infant. The child's mother Prudence remarried to a London merchant and Quaker named Alexander Parker, and in the course of time asked Captain Hull, who was probably a friend of the family, to take the boy into his care and teaching. So, young Charles Wager traveled with Hull, who became not only his captain and teacher of seafaring, but also a father figure for him. Charles was like one of the family when home with the Hulls at Jamestown. As time went on, Wager became an excellent seaman and probably became first mate on Hull's ship. England was at war against France starting in 1689, and during that conflict Hull happened to be sailing his ship in the English Channel and was surprised to see a French privateer heading their way. Captain Hull knew the French ship was faster and well-armed; besides, his Quaker religion would not have allowed him to fight anyway. With mixed feelings he asked Charles Wager to take the helm and went below to his captain's quarters -- perhaps not wanting to see the shameful moment of having his ship offically taken over by the enemy -- and perhaps to pray -- who knows? After pacing back and forth for a time, he could not stand the suspense and went back up to the deck, where at that very moment he saw the French privateer approaching them, about to cross their bow, its crew lined up jubilantly on deck signaling Hull's ship to surrender. Captain Hull, seeing the opportunity, said to Wager, "Charles, if thee turns the helm a little more to starboard thee will run that ship down." Wager quickly did exactly that, and the privateer, being caught in a vulnerable position, was struck midship and sank to the bottom. Hull turned his ship around and returned to the site in an attempt to save some of the crew, but apparently in the rough seas they had all drowned, for no one was to be seen. Upon docking in England the tale was told, and there followed much rejoicing, since that privateer had caused many losses to English shipping. Hull was offered a captaincy in the Royal Navy, but he declined because of his Quaker convictions. However, he did put in a word for Charles Wager, and asked that he receive some recognition instead of himself. Consequently, Charles Wager was given a midshipman's berth in the British Navy, later rising to become Admiral, First Commissioner of the Admiralty, and Privy Councilor. Around 1695 he visited Newport, RI, as Admiral in command of a British squadron, at which time he introduced to his men as his captain. It is said that every year for Hull's birthday the captain received a cask of wine from Wager. Charles Wager's stellar career was duly honored when he was knighted in December 1709. He was born c1664 - 1666, son of Charles & Prudence (Goodson) Wager, and died 24 May 1743. Sir Charles Wager was granted the ultimate posthumous honor of being buried in Westminster Abbey, where a monument commemorates his achievements. For many years Wager was a popular given name for boys born to families of South County, in memory of the boy who was raised by Captain John Hull. Examples on this family tree are Wager Hull and Wager Remington, both born to Jamestown families. John Hull was a son of Tristram Hull of Barnstable, MA, and a grandson of Rev. Joseph Hull, who sailed for New England from Weymouth, Dorsetshire, England, in 1635. John married Alice Tiddeman in England; a witness to their marriage was Prudence Wager, mother of the child who would someday become a hero, thanks to Captain Hull.

| 3011 | If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to all other sources as noted herein: The following notes are adapted from "Genealogies of RI Families," Vol. II, Some Notes on Eighteenth Century Block Island, pp. 354 & 355: Rev. Joseph Hull was born in Crewkerne, County Somerset, England, to Thomas & Joanna (Peson) Hull. On 22 May 1612 he started at St. Mary's, Oxford, as a 17-year-old. After graduation from Oxford he was teacher and curate at Colyton, County Devon, and later rector of Northleigh, Exeter, from 1621 to 1632. As an Episcopalian with moderate Puritan views, he decided to emigrate to New England, where he came with his family in 1635. He was admitted a Freeman of Massachusetts Bay in 1635, and became a minister at Weymouth, MA. Because of his Episcopalian leanings, in 1639 he moved to the more tolerant Plymouth Colony, but left there and moved to Sir Ferdinando Gorges, ME. He preached at York, ME, for several years, but finally returned to England, leaving his family in Maine. From 1652 to 1662 he was a minister in Cornwall, England; he then returned to New England and preached at Durham, NH, where he died in 1665. Several of his sons became Quakers, including Hopewell and Samuel, who settled in New Jersey, and Tristram, who returned to Yarmouth and Barnstable, MA. There Tristram was a prominant citizen and a sea captain. By his wife Blanche he had several children, including John who became Captain John Hull of Jamestown, RI, a well-known sea captain in his own right. According to Charles H. Weygant, writing in "The Hull Family in America," (Hull Family Association, 1913), Rev. Joseph Hull came in March 1635 with his second wife, 7 children, and three servants, along with about 90 other people. When he relocated to Plymouth Colony he founded the present town of Barnstable, MA. | Hull, Reverend Joseph (I11154)

| 3015 | Important note -- after tentatively placing John P. Remington in this family group, I came across additional information suggesting that he may not belong to this particular Peleg. Warwick records show the death of a John P. Remington on 30 June 1870, age 72, son of Peleg & Amy (Field) Remington. But was it this Peleg, or another one? A descendant, Gail Gardiner, has supplied information that the Warwick records are incorrect in the name of Peleg's wife and John's mother; according to Gail, she was Amy Fifield, d/o Rev. Moses Fifield. If true, it is highly unlikely that she could have been confused with Phebe Field, as I had previously speculated. (The 1825 will of Freelove Field, wife of William and mother of Phebe, mentions two grandchildren -- Mary & John Remington. Based on that will, plus the marriage record of Phebe Field and Peleg Remington, and John's death record which mentions a father Peleg, I tentatively placed John P. here as that son John, pending further evidence.) This family definitely needs more research. In the meantime, I am leaving John P. Remington and his descendants here until I find which Peleg he belongs to. According to "The History of Warwick" by Oliver Payson Fuller, p. 199, Rev. Moses Fifield was born 19 Dec 1790 in Unity, NH, and died 19 April 1859. So his daughter could not have been born before 1810 or so. Was there a previous generation that Gail was referring to? John's will mentions his wife Sarah C., their children, and four grandchildren. In the Federal Census of 1850, the family is living at Warwick: John P. Remington 51, Sarah C. 39, Ellen M. 15, Amy A. 13, Adaline R. 10, and Florine F. 4. | Remington, John P. (I10890)

| 3016 | Important note: I am not sure that this is the Reuben Remington who married Elizabeth and is listed in the censuses cited below. However, I am placing the family information here as a tentative possibility, subject to change if information becomes available on a different but concurrent Reuben Remington. In the Federal Census of 1830, a Reubin Remington is listed at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. The household consists of: 2 males <5, 1 male 30<40, 1 female 5<10, & 1 female 30<40. He is listed next to Benjamin Remington age 50<60 (who is he?). In the Federal Census of 1840, Reuben Remington is listed as living at Dickinson, Franklin Co., NY. The household consists of: 1 male <5, 2 males 10<15, 1 male 40<50, 1 female <5, 2 females 5<10, & 1 female 40<50. In the Federal Census of 1850, a Reuben Remington 51 (England) is listed as living at Diana, Lewis Co., NY. His wife is Elizabeth 52 (England). Their children are: Harriett 14 NY, Harvey 11 NY, & Michael 8 NY. They are living near other Remingtons in the town. In the Federal Census of 1860, Reuben 61 VT & Elizabeth 60 MA are living at Dickinson, Franklin Co., NY. One son, Harley E. 20 NY, is living with them. Several family trees at Rootsweb's Worldconnect have Elizabeth's maiden name as Kelly or Kelley. A tree by "Cyndee" lists a son Reuben for this couple, born 19 Apr 1827 in Rutland, VT. Another tree by Jacqueline Ann Richardson includes a daughter Lucetta, born 26 Sep 1824 in Danby, Rutland Co.,VT. Robert Pero's tree includes a son Obadiah born 2 Sep 1829. I have included these three children in the family group (needs more research to confirm). | Remington, Reuben (I22699)

| 3017 | In 1635 Stukeley and his family accompanied the family of William Arnold to New England. Stukeley came from England to Salem, MA, where he was a freeman in 1636; his name is given in the records as "Stuky Wesket." He joined the Baptists and was banished from Massachusetts. He soon joined Roger Williams in Providence, RI, where he was one of the grantees in Roger Williams's deed of 8 Oct 1638. He signed the Providence agreement in 1640. He was also one of the founding members of the First Baptist Church in America. Stukeley later located with Samuell Gorton's group at Warwick, where records show he lived on 5 June 1648. He was Commissioner 1651-1653, and in 1655 and 1660. He was Assistant in 1653, and Deputy for Warwick in 1671. During King Philip's War he left Warwick and went to Portsmouth for safety. There he made his will on 12 Jan 1676/77, and died the same day. Some information on Stukeley Westcott and his family can be found on Family Tree Maker CD#180, RI Genealogies. Also, see informative article at Wikipedia. | WESTCOTT, Stukeley (I03303)

| 3018 | In 1658, Christopher was made a freeman of Portsmouth. In 1667 he was one of many who finalized the purchase of lands in Monmouth, NJ. He lived in Monmouth for awhile, but returned to RI to live by or before 1678. On 5 Mar 1680, Christopher and seven others bought Pocasset (Tiverton) lands from the Governor. By this time Christopher had become a political leader in RI. He was highly esteemed by his townsmen and on 27 Feb 1690 he was elected Governor of RI, but he refused to serve for reasons satisfactory to the Assembly. However, in that year he did serve as assistant to the Governor. During this year he was also deputy to the General Assembly. In 1692 he was made captain of the militia. In 1693 he was appointed agent to England, and on 24 Aug 1693 he represented RI in a petition to Queen Mary. In October 1696, he was reimbursed for his expenses. Source for above info is "Tom Almy's page": www.almy.us/ Christopher's will mentions his wife Elizabeth; sons William, Christopher, & Job (in age order); and daughters Elizabeth (w/o John Leonard), Sarah (dec'd, formerly w/o Richard Cadman & Jonathan Merihoo), & Rebekah Townsend (dec'd) | ALMY, Christopher (I01732)

| 3019 | In 1677 he was one of 48 who, along with his brother John, received a grant from the colony of 5,000 acres in East Greenwich, "in consideration of their services in King Philip's War." In 1686 he was Deputy (member) to the Upper House of the RI Legislature, and was captain of the military company, a position he held to the time of his death. His will names his children, their spouses, and his grandchildren. It contains details such as bequeathing his spectacles to his son Benjamin, and his "biggest silver spoon" to his grandson Benjamin Greene. | GORTON, Captain Benjamin (I02852)

| 3022 | In 1702 Samuel Greene purchased from Jeremiah Westcott the fulling mill at Apponaug. The following three paragraphs are excerpted from the web site of the City of Warwick, RI, and is entitled "Warwick's Villages & Historic Places," by Don D'Amato: The Greenes in Apponaug Most historians mark the beginning of the village of Apponaug with the building of the fulling mill by John Micarter on Kekamewit Brook, near Apponaug Cove, in 1696. This was a well-taken point for after that the area began to attract the attention of many of the younger sons of the early settlers. In 1697, Micarter sold the mill to Jeremiah Westcott who in turn sold it to Samuel Greene in 1702. John Greene, Surgeon The acquisition of the property by Samuel Greene was a significant event in the village's history as it was through the leadership of the Greene family that Apponaug developed during the 18th and early 19th centuries. This family was that of John Greene, Surgeon, who along with Samuel Gorton and Randall Holden founded Warwick in 1642. In many ways, the history of Warwick, and that of Rhode Island, mirrors the history of the Greene family. As there were many sons and grandsons of John the Surgeon, the names John, James, Samuel, and Thomas Greene appear often in generation after generation. Major John Greene The Samuel Greene who purchased the mill in 1702 was the son of Major John Greene and Ann Almy. Major Greene, one of the most powerful and important figures in early Rhode Island history, was the son of Surgeon John Greene and Joanne Tatersall.

| 3023 | In 1710 Samuel purchased 20 acres of land in Wickford from Lodowick Updike. (source: The History of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations; New York: American Historical Society, 1920; p. 203; at Heritage Quest) "(I) Samuel Aborn, the progenitor, is first of record in Wickford, R. I., in the year 1710, when he purchased of Lodowick Updike twenty acres of land. He settled in Wickford, where he followed the calling of shipwright. He became the owner of considerable property, and rose to prominence in the affairs of the town. He married Susanna ---- , and they were the parents of three sons. Susanna Aborn died after 1753. Among the descendants of Samuel and Susanna Aborn have been many leaders in Rhode Island life. "(II) Captain Joseph Aborn, son of Samuel and Susanna Aborn, was born in 1722, and was a resident of Wickford, R. I., and later of Pawtuxet, in which latter town he was the first of the family to settle. He was a master mariner, and followed the sea during the greater part of his life. Captain Joseph Aborn married Elizabeth Scranton, born in 1723, and died in 1799, and is buried in Greene Cemetery, in Pawtuxet." It seems to me that there are several Samuel Aborns, and their identity has not yet been sorted out. | Aborn, Samuel (I22884)

| 3025 | In 1769 when he wrote his will, Randall was a "yeoman, of Warwick, late residing in Cranston." Children named in his will are: Job, William, Fones, Randall, Nathan, James, Caleb, Daniel, Thomas, Robe (Arnold), Mary (Thurber), Phebe, & Elnathan. He also mentions Charles, William, & George Higginbotham, sons of his (second) wife's first marriage. I have estimated some of the birth years of Randall's children. | Rice, Captain Randall Sr. (I06111)

| 3027 | In 1830 the family is at Barkhamsted, Litchfield, Connecticut\; there are 8 children in the household. He and first wife Nancy had at least 5 daughters, two of whom died young, born in CT: Urania 1817-1819, Esther 1818, Nancy 1820-1821, Nancy 1822, and Urania 1825. Other Allen children listed in the 1850 census in Williamsfield, OH, are Joel 23, Lorinda 21, Pharis 19, and Wilbur, 17. From this I assume Nancy must have died sometime after 1832/1833. In 1850, the census lists Mary Shepard as age 10. It appears Guilford and Ann must have had twins, Emory and Emma, both age 3. The death record says he died in Williamsfield at age 88y 7m 5d, and was born in CT; occupation a farmer. | Allen, Guilford (I29108)

| 3032 | In 1850 and 1860, John is married to Sarah and living in Savannah GA. They have two sons, George & William. In 1880 they are in Macon, GA; their two sons are with them, as well as a daughter-in-law and two grandchildren: William H., George P., Lucine, Cecile, and George P. Named after his father, his name honors great American Patriot John Jay (see notes for his father, John Jay Cornell). | Cornell, John J. (I27539)
|
| 3033 | In 1850 and 1860, Philander and family are at Brutus, Cauyga Co., NY. In 1860, Susanna Edmunds, age 77 MA, is with them. I am making an assumption she is Philander's mother-in-law. See notes for his wife Sylvia. In 1870, the household is at Brutus as follows: Phylonder, Sylvia, Joseph, and Eva M. Remington: Anna Lenard 13 domestic. In the 1874 NY State Census, Filander and Sylvia are still at Brutus; with them is John Remington 16, son. However, I think he is actually their nephew -- unless they have adopted a treenage boy since 1870. I haven't been able to locate nephew John's parents in this census, so perhaps he is living with Philander and Sylvia. | Remington, Philander (I28253)

He is with his sister Fidelia Forth and her children. Gilbert's occupation in 1870 is "peddling apple trees." In 1880 Gilbert is married to "Electy" and still living at Farmington. They have three children. Gilbert is a farmer. They are living near Gilbert's sister Fidelia, now married to John A. Young. More can be found on this family in: History of La Crosse County, Wisconsin By Consul Willshire Butterfield, Western Historical Company; p. 850 (available on Google Books). From Theresa Congdon's posting on the Congdon Message Board at genealogy.com: ". . . there is a copy of the registration of marriage for Gilbert Congdon and (Electa) Jane Alexander. The marriage took place in Arcadia, Trempealeau County, Wisconsin. Gilbert Congdon's father was John Congdon and his mother was Phoeby (sic) Congdon . . . The marriage took place on July 23, 1873. The registration of marriage is in Volume 1 of Marriages on page 22 according to the Register of Deeds for Trempealeau County, Wisconsin. "Electa Jane Alexander Congdon was Gilbert Congdon's second wife according to the pension papers. His first wife's maiden name was: Maggie Haight. Gilbert Congdon died on December 18, 1891. After the Civil War he resided in Canada and Steventown, LaCrosse County, Wisconsin. He had applied for a pension previously. Upon his death, his wife E.

In 1880, Leon & Eliza Allison are living in District 48 in Providence. Clara Allison, age 32, is in the household. Probably she is Leon's daughter from a previous marriage.
