| 6554 | Sidnay & Libby had five children: LeRoy W. b. 22 Oct 1882, Greenwich, NY; md. Blanche Mankin (2 ch b. CA) Fannie b. 11 Nov 1884, d. 30 Mar 1885 Frances b. 3 Jul 1887, d. 26 Feb 1905 Adelbert b. 3 Mar 1889, LaManda, CA; d. 20 Aug 1890, CA Louise b. 6 Sep 1892, Fillmore, CA; md. John Carlyle Reutch (1 child) (info from Lynn Gavette Roberts) | Barber, Sidney (I16752)
|
| 6555 | Sieur Gysbert Updyke was an officer of the Dutch West India Company. He probably came to Long Island from Amsterdam about 1630. In time he owned extensive land areas in and around present-day New York City; Hempstead, Long Island; Cow's Neck; and Coney Island. He held several positions of leadership at Long Island and New Amsterdam, and was also an innkeeper. He made frequent trips to the "Block House" in Narragansett Country, RI. This was Richard Smith's trading post (now known as "Smith's Castle" on Post Road near Wickford). He died after 10 April 1662. Very possibly he came to RI after the surrender of New Amsterdam to the English in 1664, and eventually died here. | Updyke, Gysbert (I07750)
|
| 6556 | Silas is mentioned as being under 21 in the will of his grandfather John Greene, dated 15 Aug 1754.His will mentions his wife and ten children by name (see "Rhode Island Genealogical Register" Vol. 4, #2, pp. 188 & 189) . | Matteson, Silas (I09320)
|
| 6557 | Silas was buried on the 11th. Elder John Gorton preached at his funeral, on Amos 4:12. He was "Captain Silas Cooke, late of Warwick." Silas was sometimes referred to as Silas, Jr. Does that simply mean he was a younger one of two in the area? It his father was Peleg, perhaps he had an uncle named Silas? | Cooke, Silas Jr. (I02929)
|
| 6558 | Simeon Smith was a Charter Member of the Pawtuxet Rangers (Oct 1774). He was Master of Providence-based privateer brig, Hope, 1781. (source: Field, Edward; State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations at the End of the Century: A History. Boston, Mason Publishing Co. 1902, Vol II, pp424-430 List of Privateersmen from Providence) He was a Revolutionary War Pensioner (File # S21492). Simeon's will was dated 3 February 1836, and proved 27 May 1843 at Cranston, RI. In it he mentions sons Simeon Jr., Nicholas, Moses, Aaron, & Remington. He speaks of his daughters, but not by name. Also mentioned are grandchildren Nathaniel P. Smith, John R. Harris, & Charlotte P. Thomas. Simeon died at age 97, the oldest resident of Pawtuxet at the time. A veteran of the Revolution, he was loyal to the cause of liberty and took his civic privileges seriously. It was reported that in the last election, he traveled 5 miles to vote. A death notice was printed in the Brooklyn Eagle, 9 March 1843. He may have married first to Freelove Fenner, b. 13 July 1743. She married Capt. Simon Smith on 23 March 1766 at Providence, RI. However, that may have been another individual with a similar name born around the same time. He was generally referred to as Capt. Simeon Smith. (Is he the Simeon Smith who also married Freelove Fenner? Probably; but this needs more research; there was another Simeon Smith of Burrillville/Glocester; both were Rev. War pensioners.) | Smith, Captain Simeon Sr. (I10590)
|
| 6559 | Simeon was s/o Amos & Hannah. | Reynolds, Simeon (I25511)
|
| 6560 | Since John Hull was a Quaker and Damaris Cary was a Congregationalist, their marriage was performed "out of meeting." The officiant was Capt. Hull's brother Dr. Tiddeman Hull, then Chief Magistrate and Warden of Jamestown. | Family F04338
|
| 6561 | Since there is a considerable space between the children in this family, I suppose there is a possibility that Homer is a son of Joel & Armina's daughter Elvira. | Remington, Homer E. (I18249)
|
| 6562 | Sion's will was dated 22 March 1841 at Coventry, RI. | Arnold, Sion (I11977)
|
| 6563 | Sisson Nichols and wife Marcy of Stephentown, NY, are mentioned in Town Council Records of Exeter, RI, 26 Oct 1793, among the heirs of Anthony Shaw, deceased. | Nichols, Sisson (I29353)
|
| 6564 | SISSON Sarah, wife, of George, died in her 71st year, July 17, 1718; Town Page Detail: Death (Vol. 1 : Pg. 53), Portsmouth, RI. According to the Genealogical Dictionary of RI by John Osborne Austin, Sarah was d/o Thomas Lawton. | Lawton, Sarah (I27211)
|
| 6565 | Sisson was named after his uncle Sisson Nichols who married Marcy Shaw. | Shaw, Sisson Nichols (I29311)
|
| 6566 | SK land evidence dated 12 Jan 1722/3 identifies Ebenezer as "of Prudence Island." In 1724 he was "of Portsmouth" when he was asked by SK to take over the guardianship of his deceased brother Ephraim's children. Ebenezer deeded land to his son Ebenezer Jr. of SK on 4 Sep 1736. This included rights to the following: land, ferry house, staple ware house, wharfs, ferry boat, and freight boat. (also see notes for father Jeremiah) Ebenezer and Abigail signed a deed of sale on 23 Apr 1737, SK; they sold land to John Gardner of SK. I have made an assumption that he is the Ebenezer Smith who was a son of Jeremiah & Mary Smith of Prudence Island. It is clear from land evidence and court records that some members of this family later moved to Kingstown and South Kingstown. Ebenezer is mentioned by his mother Mary in SK land evidence. I have roughly estimated Ebenezer's year of birth. | Smith, Ebenezer Sr. (I05138)

It mentions his wife Mary; sons William, Albert, Harris, Russell, Alfred U. Dec'd, and Thomas Dec'd; daughter Catherine Wightman; grandchildren George and Lucretia, children of Alfred dec'd. Other documents refer to two other daughters: Avis Ann Spink and Catherine Wightman. | Smith, Hon. Benjamin (I00535)

|
| 6583 | Some family trees have Daniel's wife as Mercy Remington. See notes for Daniel's grandfather John. From the book "The Correspondence of the Colonial Governors of Rhode Island, 1723-1775" (Google Books), p 329, "Fones was an enterprising sea captain who represented North Kingstown in the General Assembly. He was sent to Cape Breton with the Connecticut transports, in command of the Rhode Island colony sloop, Tartar, and there distinguished himself by intercepting at Famme Goose Bay a force of 1200 French and Indians, who were advancing from Annapolis to the relief of Louisburg. This was two days before the surrender of the fortress." From the book Mayflower Families Through Five Generations, Vol 3 p 94 (pub 1980 by General Society of Mayflower Descendants, ed Anne Borden Harding): "He m. Mercy ----- perhaps 1743 - 1747. The identity of his wife, the birth place and dates of his children is [sic] not known . . . From 1744 to 1747 he commanded the RI colony sloop Tartar . . . he is referred to as mariner in his will." The will of Capt. Daniel Fones of North Kingstown, dated 8 Apr 1790 and proved 9 Aug 1790, mentions son Daniel dec'd leaving widow Mary; daughters Mary w/o Edward Yorke of East Falmouth, Nova Scotia; Martha w/o Michael Spencer of East Greenwich, and their son Fones Spencer; granddaughter Margaret w/o William Helme; grandchildren -- children of Mary and probably dec'd son Daniel -- Cynthia, Christopher, Constant, Mary, Dutee, and Daniel. | Fones, Captain Daniel (I04978)
|
| 6584 | Some family trees have her maiden name as Maxon; others say it was Harndell. | Unknown, Rebecca (I05502)
|
| 6585 | Some family trees have this Abigail Tripp as the wife of Benjamin Tanner. If so, she must have married him first (?). | Tripp, Abigail (I06627)
|
| 6586 | Some genealogies have 8 children for this couple. | Comstock, Samuel (I28541)
|
| 6587 | Some genealogies have Abigail's husband as Ezekiel. There is quite a lot of confusion concerning these two sisters, Abigail & Elizabeth. Perhaps they both married Ezekiel at some point. Or perhaps they both had sons named Daniel. Or perhaps Abigail really married Ezekiel, and Elizabeth married Elisha. Some online genealogies show Daniel as the probable son of Abigail. However, Ezekiel's will definitely mentions a son named Daniel. Which Daniel had a daughter Abigail who married Hiram Greene (if either)? This is a puzzle that needs more research. | Greene, Abigail (I09301)
|
| 6588 | Some genealogies have as many as 11 children for this couple -- needs more research. Daniel's first wife, name unknown, died before 1 August 1661, when her gravesite was referred to in a land document. | WILCOX, Daniel (I05989)
|
| 6589 | Some genealogies have Elizabeth's twin sister Mary as the one who married John Noble & Jonathan Remington. Were they one and the same person? I am tentatively making them one person, pending more research. Jonathan was her first cousin. | Remington, Elizabeth Mary (I08057)
|
| 6590 | Some genealogies have her as Anne Corey, but there was a much later marriage of a Thomas Allen and Anne Corey. Daniel Gould Allen in his Genealogy of the Allen Family says she is Anne or Annie Cory; on another page he identifies her as Mary Cory (p 91). | Unknown, Ann (I13137)
|
| 6591 | Some genealogies have her maiden name as Cook. Her maiden name is missing from the transcribed records; I have not checked the original. | Unknown, Phebe (I18533)
|
| 6592 | Some genealogies have her maiden name is Fobes. The marriage record says Smith, but she may have been a widow. This needs more research to confirm. | Smith, Phebe (I16390)
|
| 6593 | Some genealogies have her name as Mary Hunt. The Mayflower Society identifies her as Mary West, descendant of Francis West & Susanna Soule. (see notes below) Mary West b. NK 29 June 1711, living there on 16 July 1763. She mar NK 22 Aug 1731 Edmund Austin, a mariner. In 1741 Mary Austin sold land to William Sweet, "it being in full for right of dower in the land of my father . . . West, dec." It is to be noted that the only landowner in NK surnamed West and dying before 1741 leaving undivided land was Francis West. On 17 July 1763 she deeded to son James a house lot. Son James Austin had his birth re-recorded on 17 March 1761 but the last digit could not be read. A record in the DAR files has his birth year as 1739. Other than the marriage records and the incomplete birth record of his son, we have found no other records of Edmund Austin. We have found no probate or distribution of Mary Austin's estate. The burned records [at North Kingstown Town Hall] give only fragments of the record for this family. (notes supplied by Shirley M. Greene) | WEST, Mary (I00509)
|
| 6594 | Some genealogies have her name as Prudence, but the original records and the gravestone say Pruda. | Armington, Pruda (I12777)
|
| 6595 | Some genealogies have his death month as January, while others say April. The gravestone says April; however, since this was his birth month, it could be a mistake. The age at death supports January as the birth month. From the records of the First Baptist Church of Providence, RI: Peleg Remington June 27, 1805, E (experience?) Nov. 16, 1806, L (letter?) To Pawtuxet church. (This may or may not have been this particular Peleg) Peleg may have had a wife named Amy Field between Sally (Unknown) and Mary Tower. Warwick Deaths, Vol. I (at Warwick City Hall) records the death of a John P. Remington on 30 June 1870, age 72, son of Peleg Remington & Amy Field. She may have died in childbirth, after which Peleg married Mary Tower in 1799. I have not been able to discover another Peleg of this time period who could have been the father of John P., but certainly there may have been one (needs more research). There is also a marriage recorded at Providence's West Side Church: Peleg Remington & Phebe Field, of William, 24 May 1795. This, of course, adds to the confusion, suggesting that perhaps a clerk or informant wrote Amy instead of Phebe in the Warwick death record, as the mother of John P. However, it may have been another Peleg who married Phebe Field, as the Providence Phenix reported the death of a Mrs. Phebe Remington in her 46th year, 4 Feb 1822, at Cranston. The RI Cemetery Database has his year of birth as c. 1765; Red MacDougall's online family tree at [redfish@netrevolution.com] and at Rootsweb's Worldconnect shows his date of birth as 22 April 1764 (in Pawtuxet); the Roger Williams book says about 1760. Please read the notes for his four possible (?) wives. This needs further research. It was not unheard of for a man to be married four times. Benjamin Remington of Cowesett had four wives, and his brother Jonathan (my ancestor) had three. No doubt there are many other examples. He may be the Peleg Remington who signed a petition to establish a Masonic Lodge at Pawtuxet, 26 Apr 1805, at Col. Bowen's house. He was probably the Peleg Remington who was a witness in a US Supreme Court case in 1807, Smith v. Carrington: http://supreme.justia.com/us/8/62/case.html | Remington, Captain Peleg II (I04528)
|
| 6596 | Some genealogies have Remember marrying a different Thomas, a son of Daniel & Hannah. That is a possibility, if indeed Daniel had such a son. (Needs more research at Boston) | Stowell, Remember (I07154)
|
| 6597 | Some genealogies have Stephen's father as John. However, James N. Arnold's "Vital Record of RI," Kent County/Warwick marriages, gives Stephen's father as Capt. Edward, of Cranston. He is very possibly the son of Stephen Arnold & Mary Sheldon, found elsewhere on this family tree. (needs more research) | Arnold, Captain Edward (I12154)
|
| 6598 | Some genealogies have this John Greene as a son of John "Quidnessett" Greene, but other more recent researchers strongly dispute that. A closer study of land records indicates that John Jr., the son of John "Quidnessett" Greene, was living in Newport, and may in fact have died earlier than this John, who lived in East Greenwich and then the Harkney Hill section of Coventry. Since the evidence for parentage of this particular John Greene has been called into question, I have not extended our family tree beyond this point. For further information, see the following web site: http://www.hal-pc.org/~wmewrght/green.html William E. Wright is one of may compilers of Greene genealogies. His book and web site provide a comprehensive analysis of other Greene family researchers, which can be evaluated and compared by interested individuals. However, as further research comes to light in the future, descendants may have to yet again change their genealogy data! | GREENE, John (I09285)
|
| 6599 | Some genealogies have this Stephen as a son of John b.1770, brother of Eliphalet. However, if this Stephen was really born in 1780, that particular John could not have been his father (needs more research). Also, if he really was born in Ilion, NY, do we know that John & Mary (of RI) were living there? The cemetery record states that Stephen was born in Washington County, NY. The family of David Remington was living there around the time of Stephen's birth. Could it be that he is their son, and not a son of John? Unfortunately, Boyd Scott Remington did not cite his sources or explain his reasoning. According to descendant Ann Thompson, Stephen bought land in what is now downtown Pittsburgh, PA. This land, the site of Fort Fayette, was being sold by the federal government, so the deed is signed by President James Madison and Secretary of State James Monroe. Later Stephen & Martha sold this land and the house on it to son Zeri for $1.00. | Remington, Stephen (I10094)
|
| 6600 | Some genealogies show his year of birth as 1793. Also, apparently it is not certain who his parents were, although family tradition considers Jonathan & Sarah to be his parents. | Davis, Jonas (I10212)
|
