| 4851 | It has been suggested that this Freelove may have been Freelove Tillinghast. However, Wayne G. Tillinghast in his book "The Tillinghasts in America" disputes that, offering evidence that William's wife could not have been Freelove Tillinghast -- at least not the daughter of Joseph Tillinghast. See page 150, where he notes that William & Freelove Allen were admitted to membership in the Second Baptist Church at Newport on 4 March 1729. She also is identified as Freelove Tillinghast in the RI Genealogical Register Vol. 6 No. 4 p. 241, "Descendants of John Maccoone." The compiler of this article did not note his source, which may have been DeVere Allen's work on the Allens of Prudence Island. | Unknown, Freelove (I20305)
|
| 4852 | It has not been confirmed that Mary's surname was Hawes. | Hawes, Mary (I05778)
|
| 4853 | It has not been proven that John Henry's father was William. There is some speculation that his name was Samuel, and that John Henry had a brother named Samuel. | Wilcox, John Henry (I09107)
|
| 4854 | It has not been proven that John's wife was Elizabeth Gardiner, although it is known that she was Elizabeth. | Gardiner, Elizabeth (I07462)
|
| 4855 | It is believed that Nicholas lived in Portsmouth, West Greenwich, and North Kingstown, RI. He was reportedly a weaver by occupation. His name is found in several legal documents: On 13 March 1683 he received a legacy of a loom from Orpheus Pomeroy of Portsmouth. On 21 January 1697 he bought land in East Greenwich from David Shippee for 6 pounds. On 29 November 1703 he sold a house and 30 acres of land in East Greenwich to William Underwood for 15 pounds (witnessed by John and Elizabeth Pearse and John Heath, Vol. 3 p. 96). On 3 February 1709/10 he was granted a "quarter right" in the vacant lands of Narragansett, apportioned by the 13 original proprietors as per Act of the RI Assembly (Narra. Hist. Reg., Vol.3, p. 3); this land comprised the present town of West Greenwich. On 14 August 1721 he and his wife, Mary, mortgaged 25 1/2 acres and a house, for 30 pounds. On 12 March 1733 he deeded his son Pasco 20 acres. On 7 November 1733 the mortgage of 1721 was discharged. In his will, dated 3 December 1743, proved 28 March 1748 W. G., Nicholas mentions: his eldest son, Pasco, second son Robert, son David, youngest son Ezekiel, eldest daughter Catherine Peckham, and daughters Dinah Weaver, Mary Greene, Ruth Summers, grandsons Jonathan Hill and Thomas Jackwaise, and great-grandson Henry Jackwaise son of granddaughter Elizabeth Jackwaise. (for additional info see Carl Stone's notes [Dutton family] at Rootsweb's Worldconnect) | WHITFORD, Nicholas (I01266)
|
| 4856 | It is believed that Robert and his descendants were a branch of the Northamptonshire family of Greene. | GREENE, Robert (I03754)
|
| 4857 | It is believed that Samuel came to RI from Salem, MA. He may have been a son of Samuel Aborn and Susannah Trask, who were married in Dec 1663 in Salem, MA. The Pawtuxet site says Samuel Aborn came to Pawtuxet from Swansea, MA, around 1722. Another Samuel Aborn is said to have lived at Wickford. | Aborn, Samuel (I07806)
|
| 4858 | It is believed that she was a sister of John Acres, who in a New Shoreham deed called John Rathbone his "loving brother." (source: Genealogies of RI Families, Vol 2, p 327) I am wondering if she could have been a d/o William Acie and Margaret Haiton (see elsewhere on this family tree). | ACRES, Margaret (I05504)
|
| 4859 | It is believed that Zachariah died at age 36 while fighting the Mohawks in the Canada Expedition. He left a wife, but no known children. | Soule, Zachariah (I16966)
|
| 4860 | It is difficult to read her name in the 1930 census. | Remington, Nannie B. (I15433)
|
| 4861 | It is difficult to read her name in the census. | Remington, Lula (I15270)
|
| 4862 | It is known that Nicholas's wife was Mary. It is believed she was Mary Carr because some of the male given names of Nicholas's sons and grandsons are names found among male relatives of Mary Carr, possibly indicating that they were named after these relatives. Alden Beaman says she was Mary Casey, born ca. 1674. If she was Mary Carr, born about 1676-1678, her parents may have been Caleb and Phillip/Phillis Carr, and her paternal grandparents were Robert and Elizabeth Carr. These are our ancestors through the Carr/Kerr line. | CARR, Mary (I01267)
|
| 4863 | It is likely, but not certain, that she was Margaret Carter. | CARTER, Margaret (I03155)
|
| 4864 | It is not absolutely certain that Daniel Remington was her second husband. The book "New England Marriages Prior to 1700" by Clarence Almon Torrey shows the marriage to [Daniel ?] Remington. | Sanford, Elizabeth (I07571)
|
| 4865 | It is not certain that her name was Mary Stanton. It is possible that Mary was a descendant of, or relative of, Robert Stanton, our ancestor through the Tibbetts line (Henry Tibbetts was married to Sarah Stanton). Some online genealogies show Pasco's wife as a daughter of Robert & Avis, but I have not seen any documentation of this. | STANTON, Mary (I01283)
|
| 4866 | It is not know just when and how George Gardner came to America. He first appeared at Portsmouth, RI, in 1638. He was admitted as an inhabitant of Aquidneck (the island on which Newport is situated) in October of 1639, and was made a freeman of Newport on 17 Dec 1639. On 17 Mar 1641/42 he was chosen Constable & Senior Sergeant of Newport. Shortly after this, George began a close relationship with Herodias (Long) Hicks, wife of John Hicks of MA, RI, and later of Long Island, NY. George & Herodias eventually lived together in a common law marriage, while John Hicks divorced Herodias and moved to Long Island, where he remarried. George & Herodias lived together for over 20 years and had at least seven children together: Benoni, Henry, George William, Nicholas, Dorcas, & Rebecca. However, the couple separated in 1665. Around this time a man named John Porter separated from his wife Margaret, and not long afterwards he married Herodias. George then married Lydia, daughter of Robert Ballou of Portsmouth, RI, and Boston, MA. George & Lydia had five children: Joseph, Robert, Mary, Lydia, & Peregrine. After George's death c.1677, Lydia remarried to William Hawkins of Providence, and had four children with him. | Gardner, George (I04000)
|
| 4867 | It is not known exactly which William Rhodes married Elizabeth Fenner. However, it most likely was NOT the one b. 26 Aug 1725, as shown in some genealogies. See "Supplement to Descendants of Roger Williams, Book I, Waterman Line," Additions & Corrections, p. 3, pub. 2003, compiled by Dorothy Higson White. | Rhodes, William (I14702)
|
| 4868 | It is not known for sure that John's wife was Mary Havens. However, the will of William Havens mentions a daughter Mary Cook; and John is known to have had a wife Mary who was mother of his daughter Phebe (Allen) b 1677. (see The New England Histocial and Genealogical Society Vol 128 p 152 by Jane Fletcher Fiske). | Cooke, John (I27490)
|
| 4869 | It is not known whether Elkanah was born in England or America. There are references to an Elkanah Johnson elsewhere, but if that was the same individual as this, that fact is unclear. An Elkanah Johnson was summoned to the Plymouth Court on 1 June 1669; an Elkena Johnson served on a jury at Newport in May 1674. The earliest reference to Elkanah in the west bay area of RI is a 1705 East Greenwich land record identifying him as "Elkany Johnson of East Greenwich." In February 1726/27, "Alkanah" Johnson contributed to the building of the meetinghouse for the Six Principle Baptist Church of East Greenwich. (Source for the above information: Linda L. Mathew in "A Line of Descent from Elkanah Johnson of Coventry . . ." in RI Roots Magazine, Vol. 29, No. 3, p. 113 - 115) Linda Mathews also suggests that Elkanah may have come to East Greenwich from Newport, as did Elisha Johnson, who bought land at East Greenwich 14 August 1715. The similar names of some of their children may indicate that they were related. | JOHNSON, Elkanah (I01406)
|
| 4870 | It is possible that Hester was born in Leyden, Holland, before April 1621. However, it is more likely that she was born at least nine months after her mother had been reunited with her father in Plymouth, MA. A lengthy discussion of this is found in the book "Mayflower Families Through Five Generations" Vol. 12, Francis Cooke. | Cooke, Hester (I17237)
|
| 4871 | It is possible that Jonathan & Phebe were married in RI, or in Cheshire or Adams, MA. The vital records of Cheshire were destroyed in a fire, and there are no early records of Adams, except the Cooke Collection at the Pittsfield Athenaeum. | Family F00899
|
| 4872 | It is possible that Mary, age 1 in the 1851 census, is a daughter of Ellen Greaves, living with Samuel & Mary and family. However, according to the census data, baby Mary is a daughter of Samuel & Mary. | Coleman, Mary (I06526)
|
| 4873 | It is reported that William went west, and his fate is unknown. He is mentioned in the Jan 1836 will of his father Benjamin, but not in the Oct 1863 will of his uncle John Rice. | Remington, William (I04137)
|
| 4874 | It is said that James was the first settler of Coles Hill in Plymouth. An article sent to me by Cynthia Ferguson tells how James was elected a freeman of Plymouth Colony in 1634 and was granted a license to operate a public house, or tavern. In 1637 he was fined for violations, including selling liquor to the Indians, selling liquor on Sundays, and watering down the drinks. In 1640 the colony rescinded his license and then he was fined for selling without a license. It was restored in 1645. | Cole, James (I26717)
|
| 4875 | It is said that Thomas and his wife settled in Swansea, MA. However, apparently his daughters married North Kingstown men. One genealogy says Thomas was born in Jan 1668; this needs more research to confirm. ALLIN THOMAS 1669c - 11 AUG 1719 BA006 | Allen, Thomas (I09588)
|
| 4876 | It is uncertain whether any of Joseph's children were by his second wife, Amy. There is a difference in data concerning when his first wife, Wait, died. | Kinnicutt, Amey (I13581)
|
| 4877 | It is unclear from the various records whether he was actually John or Jacob. The death announcement says Jacob, but that may be incorrect. | Bentley, John Jacob (I13965)
|
| 4878 | It is unclear whether Abijah had two wives, one named Mary Waterman and another named "Patty," or whether this is one and the same individual. Mary Waterman, his first wife, was a sister of Amey Waterman who married Abijah's brother William. I think it is very likely that "Patty" was Mary. | Waterman, Mary Patty (I07785)
|
| 4879 | It seems from his will of 2 Oct 1624 that he had a brother named William, of Bitswell, England. The text of his will is at findagrave.com; search for Christopher Allmy d 1624. | ALLMEY, Christopher (I28375)
|
| 4880 | It seems unclear which Wickes was Maplet's husband. He has been variously identified as William, Samuel, and Benjamin. (Genealogist Martha A. Benns says he was William; genealogist Gordon L. Remington says he was Benjamin, first cousin of Maplet. James N. Arnold's "Vital Record of RI" transcribes the Warwick records as "Maplet Wickes, widow of William." However, the official records have been known to contain clerical errors.) If he was indeed first cousin to Maplet, I assume he was a son of Sarah (Gorton) Wickes. | Wickes, William Samuel or Benjamin (I02923)
|
| 4881 | It would sometimes made her mad when people would write her middle name as Cathleen or Katherine. (source: grandson William D. Adkins; Special Collections at HISGEN) In the 1850 Federal Census, Mary is living in Memphis, TN, with her parents and sister. In the 1860 Federal Census, Mary C. Remington, age 19 MO, is living with her uncle W. C. Remington and family at Lee, Platte Co., MO. | Remington, Mary Catheen (I19910)

| 4883 | Jabez Greene, in partnership with Thomas Hill, built a dam that powered a sawmill, gristmill, and forge. | Greene, Jabez (I03823)
|
| 4884 | Jack was a master carpenter. | Remington, John "Jack" Paul Sr. (I15853)
|
| 4885 | Jacob may have been named after his mother's father, Jacques. | Cooke, Jacob (I05984)
|
| 4886 | Jacques & Jeanne Mahieu were Walloon refugees who went to Holland from the area of Armentiers, near Lille, France. | MAHIEU, Jacques (I17279)
|
| 4887 | Jael & Thomas were twins. Jael married Enoch Hunt, her first cousin. They had a son Enoch b. 5 June 1757. | Sabin, Jael (I10048)
|
| 4888 | James & Mary had a daughter Maplet and two sons -- names unknown. | Hawkins, James (I10053)
|
| 4889 | James and his wife (or wives) had seventeen children. One online genealogy says he was born c1655, at or near Dartmouth, MA. He supposedly married Elizabeth c1681, and had three children: James, Lydia, & Abel. He may have married second to Elizabeth Hammond, 17 Apr 1695 ar Swansea, MA. He is probably related to the other Franklin families of Swansea, but no precise connection has been found. | Franklin, James (I06633)
|
| 4890 | James and his wife Mary were baptized 5 April 1846 at the Baptist Church of East Greenwich, RI. The Reverend C. C. Wheeler was the pastor there from Nov. 1845 to Nov. 1847. In the 1850 Federal Census, James D. is written as Isaac D. Remington. Perhaps the census taker misread his own handwriting. The family is living at East Greenwich, RI, along with Mary Mowry, 72, probably Mary Remington's mother. In 1860 the family is still at East Greenwich: James D., 49; Mary E., 51; Malissa, 25; Alonzo, 22; & Louisa, 22. Louisa is probably Alonzo's wife. | Remington, James DeWolf (I02962)

| 4891 | James and his wife Mercy Tefft were first cousins. | Rogers, James (I24436)
|
| 4892 | James attended East Greenwich Academy, then Brown University, where he was valedictorian in 1862. His oration, which was on the "Scholar's Relations to Humanity," was delivered in the uniform of a captain of infantry beneath the traditional scholastic gown. In September 1862, he was mustered into the army as captain of Company H, 7th Regiment, RI Infantry. He was wounded at the Battle of Fredericksburg, VA, on 13 December 1862, sustaining a hit from a musket ball which shattered his lower jaw. It was a compound fracture in which the bone was "badly shattered and imperfectly united." After a period of recuperation at a hospital in New Haven, CT, he was officially discharged due to disability on 2 May 1863. Having returned to Rhode Island in April 1863, he was elected to the RI House of Representatives from Warwick, but soon resigned this political position to return to military service with a group known as the Invalid Corps, renamed Veterans Reserve Corps. He accepted a captain's commission and served in several different units, including one which guarded rebel prisoners at Camp Chemung in Elmira, NY, from November 1864 to June 1865. While stationed at Elmira, James studied law in his spare time, and was appointed to serve as Judge Advocate of a General Court Martial in Albany, NY, from May to December 1865. He was later assigned to serve from January 1866 to November 1868 as an officer in Virginia for the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands. In this agency his job was to help people transition from wartime to a peacetime economy, and to assist and protect newly freed African-Americans. The organization established schools and distributed food, clothing, and firewood to the needy. James also used his legal expertise to aid individuals in the courts. During his convalescence at New Haven, CT, James had met a young woman named Ellen "Nellie" F. Howard, with whom he established a lasting friendship and carried on a correspondence. They were married in Brooklyn, NY, in 1868. Shortly after this he entered into law practice in Portsmouth, VA. In 1872 they moved to Brooklyn, where he practiced law in New York City for the remainder of his life. His business focused on tax, patent, and real estate law. James H. Remington was one of the earliest members of the NY State Bar Association, and president of the US Law Association from 1881 to 1899. In the 1870 Federal Census, James H. Remington is age 31, b RI, a lawyer, living in a hotel at Portsmouth, VA. His wife's name is not listed, although she may very well have been living there with him. In the 1880 Federal Census, James & Ellen are living in Brooklyn with their two children, as well as Ellen's mother and brother. James H. Remington was Paymaster of the Kentish Guards c1860 (source: Acts and Resolves of the General Assembly of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations Passed at the May Session, 1858). The additional following information on James H. Remington is found in a biographical sketch in "The Seventh Regiment of RI Volunteers in the Civil War, 1862 - 1865," by William P. Hopkins; Providence, RI: Snow & Farmham Printers, 1903; Personal Sketches, pp. 352 - 354: "Captain James Henry Remington, son of Benjamin F., was born at Warwick, R.I., Nov. 9, 1838, on the old homestead, which, up to 1892, at least, had been in the Remington family since it was purchased from the Narragansett Indians. The father was a member of the Rhode Island legislature . . . "Dec. 30, 1865, General Hooker, by order of the secretary of war, appointed Captain Remington judge advocate of the court of inquiry convened at Rochester, N.Y., to investigate certain charges against Col. E. G. Marshall, a graduate of West Point, attached to the Fifth United States Infantry, who had previously distinguished himself as the commander of the Thirteenth New York Volunteers. The case was hotly contested for several weeks, but resulted in the exoneration of the colonel. In this famous trial he clearly exhibited the ability, learning, and tact that afterward distinguished him at the bar. Subsequently he served at Winchester, Wytheville, and Norfolk, Va., as military commissioner, assisting in the reconstruction of the state and gaining the respect of all parties for his firmness and impartiality. He resigned in September, 1868, having been commissioned major by brevet for gallantry and good conduct to date, from March 13, 1865, and henceforth devoted his attention exclusively to the law. "Dec. 8, 1868, Mr. Remington was admitted to the bar at Norfolk, and immediately commenced practice in the courts of Virginia. Pending reconstruction he was appointed by General Canby, who commanded the first military district of Virginia, attorney for Norfolk, Princess Anne, Nansemond, South Hampton, and Isle of Wight counties. So satisfactorily did he discharge his duties that when the state had become reconstructed, he was at once elected by the people attorney for Norfolk County and the City of Portsmouth. When the organization of the Grand Army of the Republic commenced he became one of its leaders, and it was largely through his personal influence that the Department of Virginia was established. In December, 1870, he was appointed its commander by Gen. John A. Logan, then commander-in-chief of the order, but previously had been chosen commander of the Farragut Post at Portsmouth . . . "Mr. Remington was a member of the Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, and for many years a warm friend and admirer of Henry Ward Beecher . . . He was also a supporter of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences." From website of Greenwood Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY: REMINGTON JAMES H. Burial date 1899-02-11 Lot 26526 Section139 | Remington, James Henry (I04153)
|
| 4893 | James C. Remington applied for seaman's insurance on 20 June 1856. At that time he was said to be age 16, born in New Bedford, 5', and with light complexion, brown hair, and grey eyes. Remington, James C.; New Bedford 1878; Vol 301 p 115 - Death; the record identifies his parents as Joseph and Mary W. He died at age 37 of Dropsey, occupation Mariner. | Remington, James C. (I06497)
|
| 4894 | James Clarke was pastor of Newport's Second Baptist church from 1700 to 1736. | Clarke, Rev. James (I02791)
|
| 4895 | James died at the age of one year and four months. The RI Death Index identifies him as a son of Cyrus & Susan. However, the date there is 21 July 1887. According to the cemetery records at Pocassett, James was first buried in North Providence, but reinterred at Pocasset on 22 Jan 1913, along with his sister, Annie. | Remington, James Arthur (I14417)
|
| 4896 | James died with the whole crew on the brig "Eliza." | Holden, James Wolf (I03880)
