| 6601 | Some genealogies show that Mary was the wife of Eber Shearman. However, genealogist Alden G. Beaman wrote that he had found no evidence that Eber's wife was Mary Wilcox (see RI Genealogical Register, Vol. 2, No. 2, p. 91), who probably would have been too old to be the mother of Eber's younger children. So, it may have been a different Mary, or perhaps he was married to two Marys. | Wilcox, Mary (I01904)
|
| 6602 | Some genealogies show that the wife of Eber Shearman was Mary Wilcox, b. 1639. However, genealogist Alden G. Beaman wrote that he had found no evidence that Eber's wife was Mary Wilcox (see RI Genealogical Register, Vol. 2, No. 2, p. 91), who probably would have been too old to be the mother of Eber's younger children. So, it may have been a different Mary, or perhaps he was married to two Marys. | Unknown, Mary (I12582)
|
| 6603 | Some genealogies show this Robert as a son of Robert & Sarah Westgate of Warwick. However, there is a Warwick will for a Robert Westgate, Jr., who died Jan/Feb 1749/50. That individual is more likely to have have been the son of Robert & Sarah. Robert & Patience had the following children named in his will and/or the will of his mother-in-law, Hannah Carr: Avis (m. 26 June 1745 William Smith b. 21 Feb 1715), Patience (m. Peleg Arnold), Sarah (m. Benjamin Watson), Hannah (m. James Aborn), & Mary. The executor of his will was son-in-law Peleg Arnold. | Westgate, Robert (I02204)
|
| 6604 | Some information on James & Mary and their descendants came from Genealogical Dictionary of RI, by John Osborne Austin. It has been speculated that James may be a son of Thomas Rogers, Mayflower Pilgrim. James Rogers was admitted freeman at Newport 7 Sep 1640, and was elected Sgt of the General Assembly 15 Mar 1643. He continued in this position until 1664. James was the Solicitor General in 1657. | Rogers, James (I24350)
|
| 6605 | Some information on James's children was found here: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/SWEET/2000-06/0962376001 and: http://newsarch.rootsweb.com/th/read/SHERMAN/2001-01/0980126451 James carried on the art of bonesetting, passed down from his father and grandfather. | Sweet, Dr. James (I12580)

| 6606 | Some information on Jerusha and her husband Oliver Allen came in an email from Wilfred Vasile, dated 28 Mar 2012. He references LeRoy (NY) Historical Society records, "Seymour Genealogy" p 89. See notes for Jerusha. | Allen, Oliver Sr. (I25943)
|
| 6607 | Some information on Jerusha and her husband Oliver Allen came in an email from Wilfred Vasile, dated 28 Mar 2012. He references LeRoy (NY) Historical Society records, "Seymour Genealogy" p 89. Additional information came from the 1850 census, where she is living next to Silas Remington; also from "Wheatland, Monroe County, New York: a brief sketch of its history" by George Engs Slocum, page 97 (Google Books online). With the census and the information from the book about Monroe County, I was able to determine that Jerusha is a sister of Silas and William. In the Federal Census of 1850, Jerusha Allen is age 49 VT, living at Wheatland, Monroe Co., NY. With her are daughter Elizabeth 25 NY, and son Oliver 26 NY, along with his wife Catharine 24 NY and their daughter Frances C. 1 NY. They are living/listed next to Silas Remington and family. I am assuming that Jerusha (Remington) Allen is his sister, based on the above-mentioned historical book, along with her age and birthplace as given in the census. In the Federal Census of 1860, she is J. H. Allen 60 VT (a domestic), living with her son Oliver and his family, at Wheatland, NY. Jerusha's middle initial is given as H in at least one census, and in the above-mentioned book by Slocum. Her middle name is given as Hopkins in "Landmarks of Monroe County, NY" by William F. Peck (1895), Part III, p. 80 - 81. | Remington, Jerusha Hopkins (I25942)
|
| 6608 | Some information on Pardon Lake and his family has come from the web site of a descendant, Steven Borden (www.stephenborden.com). This excellent site includes photos of gravestones, as well as a link to images of Revolutionary War pension files. | Lake, Pardon (I20109)
|
| 6609 | Some information on Sarah and her daughter Sarah came from Remington descendant Barbara Chase. Sarah died in her 68th year. A Sarah Remington of Cranston, singlewoman, filed a will dated 9 Jan 1803, proved 25 Nov 1820. In it she mentions her father Joseph Remington, deceased, and her brother Joseph Remington. Her two daughters were Elizabeth & Sarah Remington. Boyd Scott Remington's chart shows this Sarah's death as 11 Nov 1820, Cranston, RI, but he includes the above data in the family group of Joseph & Innocent Remington, my ancestors. Information from Barbara Chase has shown otherwise. Additional evidence is the RI Cemetery Database, which shows Sarah Remington c.1752 - 11 Nov 1820, buried in Scituate #83. | Remington, Sarah (I19544)
|
| 6610 | Some information on the names of Samuel's wife and children was first obtained from "The Remington Family," compiled by Martha A. Benns, and from Patricia L. Stormo's online data at Rootsweb. I supplemented these sources with some dates from the RI Cemetery Database, census data, and further research. In the 1850 Federal Census, this family is living at Cranston, RI: Samuel G. (T) 44, Rebecca W. 42, Rebecca P. 13, Samuel T. 8, Peleg R. 6, and Mary 75 (Samuel's mother). In 1880 they are still at Cranston, in Pawtuxet Village. Samuel & Rebecca are 75 & 72; with them are Peleg & Emma. From the Providence Journal, Monday AM, 11 Oct 1880: "In Pawtuxet on the 10th inst., Captain Samuel T. Remington, in the 75th year of his age. Funeral at the church on Wednesday, 13th inst., at 1 o'clock. Relatives and friends invited." | Remington, Captain Samuel Tower (I04531)
|
| 6611 | Some information on the Whitford family can be found in Beaman's Vital Records, Vol. 7, Washington County, pp. 408 - 414. This includes the marriage record of Nicholas and Susannah, as well as the births of several of their children. The 1774 census shows Nicholas with 4 males over 16, 3 under 16, 3 females over 16, and 1 under 16, living in West Greenwich. The 1777 military census shows Nicholas of West Greenwich as 16-50 and able to bear arms. The 1782 census shows Nicholas Whitford of West Greenwich with 1 male over 50, 2 males and 2 females 22-49, 1 boy and 1 girl 16-21, and 2 boys under 16. (While there is a possibility that some or all of these records were for another Nicholas Whitford, most likely they pertain to this particular Nicholas.) See his will dated 29 Oct 1785, proved last Mon Aug 1790, West Greenwich pp. 348-350. I have made an assumption that Nicholas died in West Greenwich. In 1769 Nicholas Whitford bought from Thomas Comstock some property on Weaver Hill Road in West Greenwich. This became the Whitford farm and stayed in the family until 1866. Nicholas passed on the farm to his son Levi, and from him it went to Levi's sons Ezekiel & Nicholas. Ezekiel bought the rights from his brother Nicholas in 1814. In 1866 James A. Whitford, grandson of Ezekiel, sold the farm to Rhodes Greene & Ephraim B. Harrington; in 1884 Greene & Harrington sold it to Burrill Andrews. Along the way sections of it were sold to other individuals. In 1886 Andrews sold his portion, consisting of 70 acres and the house, to George W. Fish. Thereafter it stayed in the Fish family until 1979 when it was sold to John Searle. The house is still standing and occupied; the family grave plot is adjoining. (source: historical collections at the Louttit Library, 274 Victory Highway, West Greenwich, RI) In recent years, descendant Ray Whitford and family of North Attleboro, MA, spent much time and effort cleaning up this family burial plot. | WHITFORD, Nicholas (I00739)
|
| 6612 | Some information on this family was provided by Ann Bowler in her Remington Family History Report, with some data from both Reta Remington Stephenson and Judith Rae Remington. | Cohen, Albert Alfred (I13405)
|
| 6613 | Some of the children may be biological children of Experience, not Susannah. (Needs more research.) It has not been proven that she was Experience Tarbox, but John's will mentions his wife Experience by name. | Tarbox, Experience (I07251)
|
| 6614 | Some online genealogies have her surname as Otter, but the Utter family has roots at Westerly among its earliest settlers. This is why I have given her maiden name as Utter. "Otter" may be an English translation of Dutch or German. See the book "Some of the Descendants of Nicholas Utter of Westerly, RI." I have made an assumption that her birthplace was Westerly, where she was married. From an email by Donald Clink: Utter is Swedish for "Otter". Some of early American records refer to this family as Otter. The Utters beginning with Nicholas Utter abt. 1630-1722 are an old Rhode Island family with Nicholas a Swedish soldier recruit settling first in New Sweden (present state of Delaware) and from at least the 1670's onward he and his family are in Newport, Kingstown and Westerly. He died in 1722 and was apparently buried in Stonington, Connecticut near the Rhode Island border. Donald Clink | Utter, Hannah (I06370)
|
| 6615 | Some online genealogies have his name as Seth Simmons. However, he probably was named after his uncle Simon Simmons, mentioned as a son in the 1750 will of William Simmons (Simmans) of Little Compton. In the Federal census of 1790, a Simon Simmons is living at Hartland, Winsor Co., VT. Also listed there is a Joseph Simmons. In the same town is listed Joseph Remington, brother of Abigail. Joseph Remington became a Revolutionary War Pensioner; one of his sons was named Simon Simeon Remington, probably named after this uncle. In the Federal Census of 1800, Simon Simmons is still listed at Hartland, VT. He is probably Simon Simmons b c 1740 s/o Ichabod Simmons and Experience Pierce (see alden.org website and Rootsweb's Worldconnect). The following notes are from "Elizabeth Alden Pabodie and Descendants"" William Simmons (Mercy Pabodic, Eliz. Alden ). Born in Duxbury, MA Sept. 24, 1672, and died 1765 in Little Compton, RI; married in 1696, probably in Little Compton, Abigail Church, daughter of Joseph Church (Richard) and Mary (Tucker) Church. She was born 1680, probably in Hingham, MA and died in Little Compton, RI, "July 4, 1720, in the 40th year of her age " on gravestone in old cemetery. Next to her grave is the base of a large stone, which probably marks the grave of her husband. Wm Simmons made his will, 8 March, 1750. Recorded Sept 28, 1765. He gives to beloved son Wm, whom he appoints executor, " my new dwelling house, and the westerly end of my orchard, so far as the fence stands. He to pay to Sarah Simmons, daughter of his brother Ichabod, when she come of age ... To son Joseph Simmons . . he to pay to Simon Simmons, son of his brother Ichabod when he comes of age .... To son John he to pay to Baley Simmons, son of his brother Ichabod when he comes of age .... To son Benjamin Simmons ... he to pay to Abigail Simmons, daughter of his brother Ichabod, when she arrives at the age of 18. To son Peleg . . . To daughters, Mercy Bennett, Lydia Tillinghast, Abigail Palmer, Rebecca Bagger, and Mary Simmons, each 5s. as they had already received their part." The will was witnessed by Nathaniel Scarle, John Searle, and Comfort Searle. The following notes are from the Pane-Joyce Genealogy online: "William Simmons. Born on 24 Sep 1672 in Duxbury, MA. William died in Little Compton, RI, on 8 Jan 1765; he was 92. Buried on 11 Jan 1765 in Little Compton, RI. Occupation: Yeoman. "William joined the movement from [Duxbury] which was largely instrumental in the settlement of Little Compton, then in Massachusetts, now a part of Rhode Island. "William Simmans of Little Compton, yeoman, dated 8 Mar 1750, proved 31 Aug 1765, mentions sons William Simmans, Joseph Simmans, John Simmans, Simon Simmans, Benjamin Simmans, and Peleg Simmans; daughters Marcy Bennit, Lydia Tillinghast, Abigail Palmer, Rebeckah Bagger, and Mary Simmans; granddaughter Mary Simmans daughter of son William; brother Ichabod Simmans; Baley Simmans son of brother Ichabod Simmans and Sarah Simmans and Abigail Simmans both under 18 daughters of brother Ichabod. Witnesses Nath^ll Searls, John Searls, and Constant Searls. [This abstract omits Simon s/o Ichabod.] "On 1 Oct 1696 when William was 24, he married Abigail Church, daughter of Joseph Church (ca 1638-5 Mar 1710/1) & Mary Tucker (ca 1640-21 Mar 1710), in Duxbury, MA. Born on 1 Jun 1680 in Hingham, MA.281 Abigail died in Little Compton, MA (now RI), on 4 Jul 1720; she was 40. Buried on 6 Jul 1720 in Little Compton, MA (now RI)." From the same genealogy, one of William & Abigail's sons was: Ichabod Simmons, b. 6 Jun 1715, d. 1 Jan 1750, m. Experience Pearce (b. 5 Jul 1718 at Bristol); he died before his father so is not mentioned in the above-cited will. | Simmons, Simon (I07779)
|
| 6616 | Some online genealogies list a son Shadrach for John & Mercy (needs more research). | Remington, John II (I08196)
|
| 6617 | Some researchers have doubted the existance of either Ephraim or Experience. It has been written that the child born 5 Feb 1648/9 was Ephraim, and that there was no Experience. However, since learning that she was the wife of Nathaniell Chaffey, some say the baby's name should have been recorded or interpreted as Experience, not Ephraim. Others assert that the reason for the confusion is that they were twins. | Bliss, Ephraim (I00689)
|
| 6618 | Some sources have his name as Ephraim. | Bowen, Stephen (I05875)
|
| 6619 | Some sources show his year of birth as 1766. In the 1790 Federal Census, the family is in South Kingstown, Washington County, RI. In the 1810 Federal census, the family is in Tolland, Hampshire Country, MA. Also in town is Josiah Remington, possibly Holden's brother or Anthony's son. In the 1820 Federal Census, they are still in Tolland, MA, along with Anthony, Josiah, Charles, & John Remington. In the 1830 Federal Census, they are in Tyringham, Berkshire County, MA. | Remington, Holden (I05288)
|
| 6620 | Some time after the divorce in 1805, Almy Remington settled in Manlius, NY, probably at least by 1827, when some of the family names appear on a church membership list. (see notes for her son Israel Remignton). | Arnold, Almy (I06365)
|
| 6621 | Sometime after marrying his second wife, possibly around 1731 Caleb moved, with his family, from Jamestown to West Greenwich, RI. There he bought 282 & 1/2 acres of land on what was afterward to be called Carr's Pond, on the East Greenwich-West Greenwich border. | CARR, Caleb (I01306)
|
| 6622 | Sometime between 1890 and 1892, James & Maggie moved to Washington state. James went off on the Alaskan Gold Rush around the turn of the century and never returned. | Root, James A. (I07370)

| 6628 | Soren worked in several different places, as Katrine later remembered. At one time he was a fireman in a boiler room in Sofie Amaliegaard (old Hornslet). He also worked in a candy factory, as did his son, Peter. But Soren felt it wasn't a healthy place to work! He was also a miller, and bought the Ormslev Molle in 1902. | Sorensen, Soren (I00807)

| 6632 | South Kansas Tribune, Wednesday, April 17, 1895: Death of Col. Remington -- In the death of George L. Remington at the age of 67 years, which occurred April 12th, our city loses one of her very best citizens. A gentleman of high Christian character, who was always cheerful and helpful, and it was always his pleasure to do duty whatever that was. He served his country faithfully in the great civil war, enlisting early in 1861, he was elected Captain of the Twenty-first New York volunteers and served at the front until in 1864 when ill health compelled his resignation. The following year he was married to his now bereaved wife. He engaged in the wholesale tobacco business in Buffalo, New York, and subsequently was elected register of deeds in that county. Later with his family he removed to Saginaw, Mich., where he was in the lumber trade until 1882, when he located in this city. For a time he was engaged in the cattle business, but in 1885 connected himself with the First National Bank of this place, and has served a bookkeeper, vice-president, and for five years has been its cashier. As a business man he was honest, prompt, and always reliable, and his associates always found him a man of excellent judgment and of unswerying fidelity. He has served the city as Member of the Board of Education and for years he has been its president, and none have proved more faithful, or to have a more unflagging interest in the educational affairs of the city. In religion he was of the Presbyterian faith, and he honored the professions he made, by a life void of offense. He was superintendent of its Sabbath school, a leading official member, and often when the pastor would be absence Col. Remington was called on to officiate, and to read a sermon, and in the last general assembly of the church he was selected to represent the Neosho Presbytery as its lay delegate. He was gifted in oratory and has often been called on as a public speaker, and always did credit to himself and his subject. In his fraternal relations he was a member of McPherson Post No. 4, G. A. R.; of the Modern Woodmen, and of the several Masonic fraternities, having passed the chairs with honor. The funeral on Sunday, was at his home; and was in charge of the Knights of Templar, attended by the Master Masons and the Modern Woodmen. Sermon by his pastor, the Rev. G. W. Bean, assisted by Chaplain Rev. J. W. Wright.

| 6643 | Stacy Waterman is mentioned as a son in the 1820 will of Betsey Gorton. He is also mentioned in the will of Sarah (Latham) Knight 4 Feb 1832. Sarah's will also mentions by name his three daughters: Ann Eliza, Amey G., and Mary. Stacy was an auctioneer in Johnston, RI. He held many civic positions in town between 1814 and 1839. In 1839 he moved to Conklin, NY, where he bought land that year but lost if to foreclosure in 1842. The family is back in Cranston, RI, by the 1850 census.

| 6650 | Stephen and his family appear to be in the 1830 Federal Census at Huntington, Chittenden, VT. Besides Stephen, the household includes one male age 15 - 20, one male age 10 - 15, and another male age 5 - 10; also, two females age 10 - 15, as well as his wife, age 30 - 40. Therefore, it appears that Stephen & Rhoda had at least three sons and two daughters. A family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect has his date of birth as 7 Sep 1792. However, if Stephen belongs in this family group and if his brother is Joseph born 15 Nov 1792, at least one of those dates must be incorrect -- unless they were twins born two months apart. This family needs more research. See note for Melissa, possible daughter. | Remington, Stephen (I13226)
