| 7001 | The marriage record says she was of Providence. The RI Cemetery Database has her dates as follows: c1768 - 30 March 1829. Near her grave are the graves of four young children of Jonathan & Mary Ann A. Remington. This particular Jonathan lived in Smithfield, RI, in 1850, then migrated to Illinois by 1860. | Earl, Elizabeth (I02829)
|
| 7002 | The marriage record says that they were married by John Fisk, Justice of the Peace. | Family F01070
|
| 7003 | The marriage record says that Thomas was of Newport and Mary was of Coventry. | Family F01810
|
| 7004 | The marriage record to Tubal Wakefield at Marlborough, MA, identifies her parents as Jeremiah & Sally Vose. She was age 65; it was her third marriage. | Vose, Sally (I26184)
|
| 7005 | The marriage record with Barbara identifies him as son of Capt. William, of Providence. The marriage record with Lydia identifies him as son of William. I have made an assumption that these two marriages belong to this William. | Potter, William (I26788)
|
| 7006 | The marriage record, in Bristol Marriages Vol. 4 p. 62, names the bride as Miss Elisabeth M. Diman. However, I think she was a widow. | Family F04623
|
| 7007 | The marriage records calls her Eliza. She is mentioned as a sister who married Jonathan Remington, in the will of her brother John Rice, dated 31 Oct 1863 and proved 12 June 1865, Warwick. | Rice, Ardeliza "Eliza" (I02823)
|
| 7008 | The marriage records gives her name as Elmira L. Manchester. | Manchester, Almira L. (I12241)
|
| 7009 | The marriage reference says her name was "Eliphalet Randall, d. of Job, of Cranston." (newenglandancestors.org) I think it likely that her name was Elizabeth, and was misread in the transcription. A family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect has her name as Elizabeth Palmer Randall, so I have added her middle name as Palmer, pending verification. Her great-grandmother was Bethiah (Palmer) Randall (see notes for her). "Elizabeth P. Randall" is mentioned by name as a granddaughter in the 5 Jan 1835 will of Patience Randall of Cranston, RI. The will also mentions a son named Job. (RI Genealogical Register, Vol. 10, p. 52, Cranston Wills) | Randall, Elizabeth Palmer (I13691)
|
| 7010 | The marriage registration in East Greenwich vital records says the officiant was Giles Peirce, Justice. However, whoever recorded it may have made an error, since the marriage is in Elder Gorton's personal journal, where the entry states that he married them. The date in East Greenwich VRs is 23 Aug 1759. Unfortunately this marriage was not a success. "In April 1771 Freelove Remington petitioned for divorce from Thomas Remington, 'late of Warwick, mariner.' She told how he changed after marriage: ' . . . the fatal Knot being Ti'd the Smilling Affability of the Lover and Friend was converted into the Stern Severity of a Tyrant' and he treated her with 'implacable Fury' (Kent County Superior Court, April 1771, Judicial Archives at Pawtucket, RI). She alleged that he abandoned her in Jan. 1765 and ever after lived in adultery. The petition was granted" (quoted from "Elder John Gorton and the Six-Principle Baptist Church of East Greenwich, RI" by Cherry Fletcher Bamberg, p. 208). | Family F01790
|
| 7011 | The marriage was announced in several newspapers -- the Providence Journal, the American, & the Patriot -- according to James N. Arnold's Vital Record of RI. | Family F05559
|
| 7012 | The marriage was announced in The Hartford times of 27 Dec 1830. I have made an assumption that it pertains to this particular Anne Remington. | Family F10840
|
| 7013 | The marriage was recorded in Worcester, MA, but the place of marriage is given as Providence, RI. They were married by Archibald McCord, clergyman. | Family F10470
|
| 7014 | The May 1746/47 will of Nicholas mentions wife Elizabeth; 4 sons: Hugh, Joseph, Thomas, & Nicholas; 5 daughters: Mary Allen, Elizabeth Tripp, Mercy Shreve, Rebeckah Willcocks, & Margret Taber; granddaughter Sarah Pope. The will was proved at Tiverton 7 Sep 1747. the will says he was "of Dartmouth." | Mosher, Nicholas (I22410)
|
| 7015 | The minister who married Simeon & Rebecca was also one of our ancestors. | Family F04834
|
| 7016 | The Monroe Book says George died at sea on a passage from Havana to Charleston, SC, on 29 Dec 1820. However, if he had a son born about 1824, that date cannot be possible. The "RI Genealogical Register" gives the date of death as 8 Dec 1824 (no location or cause noted). The family name is spelled Munro on Martha's gravestone. | Munroe, George (I12427)
|
| 7017 | The Monroe Book, by Joan S. Guilford, Ph. d., has some information on Jeremiah and his family. However, it is both incomplete and incorrect in some crucial points. In fact, I have learned, through viewing Jeremiah's death and marriage records at Bristol, that his parents are David & Abbie, not George & Martha, as the book says. I have made an assumption that the Bristol record are correct. In the 1850 Federal Census, Jeremiah W. & Elizabeth Munro are living at Bristol, RI, with their daughter Laura, age 9, and Benjamin & Mary M. Wyatt. This Elizabeth is his second wife. In the 1860 Federal Census, Jeremiah W. & Elizabeth M. Munro are living at Bristol, RI, with their three daughters: Laura A. 16, Mary E. 9, and Julia F. 6. In the 1870 Federal Census, Jeremiah W. Munro is 52 and his wife Lydia B. is 34, living at Bristol, RI. In the household are two of Jeremiah's daughters, Mary E., 18, and Julia F., 16. Lydia is Jeremiah's third wife. Jeremiah's wives: Bristol records list the death of Elizabeth Munro, wife of Jeremiah, at age 29 on 5 Dec 1845. This was presumably Jeremiah's first wife and also the mother of our ancestor Laura. Laura's death record identifies her mother as Elizabeth Barrington (or Parrington?). The RI State Archives has the name on her death record as Barrington. There was a Barrington family in the Portsmouth records during the 1700s, but I have not figured out whether Elizabeth belongs to that family. This needs more research. Elizabeth (Wyatt) Diman was a widow when she married Jeremiah. I have assumed she was a Wyatt because her (presumed) parents are living with Jeremiah & Elizabeth in the 1850 census. She may have first married James Diman, who died 2 Feb 1845. Jeremiah married again in 1867, to Lydia Crump. According to the marriage record, it was Jeremiah's third marriage. This was the same year his daughter Laura was married, and at the same church. However, this marriage ended in divorce, as one was granted 10 April 1876. Jeremiah W. was the plaintiff, and Lydia B. was the defendant. It would seem that Jeremiah married yet another time, because the wife he names as heir in his will, dated 10 Jan 1878, is Mary M. Munroe. To her he gives all household furniture and stores, as well as real estate, remaining after the payment of debts. In the will he also mentions three additional heirs, should his wife die: two daughters, Julia F. Munroe and Mary Elizabeth Gravlin; and one grandson, Frank P. Chafee (he is my great-grandfather); in case all of these should die, he names Frank's brother Samuel as heir. A copy of this will is recorded in the Bristol Probate Will Book No. 6, p. 275f. Also, related documents are in Book 5, p. 149. Jeremiah died of scarletina at his home on Bourne St. in Bristol. | MUNROE, Jeremiah William (I11872)
|
| 7018 | The name and birthdate of Elizabeth came from the database of Vicki Michael at Rootsweb's Worldconnect. | GREENE, Elizabeth (I04292)
|
| 7019 | The name and dates for this child came from two family trees at Rootsweb's Worldconnect; the source cited was Ward J. Roylance's "Remingtons of Utah." | Remington, Ernest Badger (I10153)
|
| 7020 | The name appears to be spelled Ellyza in the Warwick birth record. Is it Eliezar, Elisha, or some other variation? | Collins, Eliezar Jr. (I20529)
|
| 7021 | The name George T. B. Chafee first came to my attention in a copy of an old letter of Great Uncle Frank's which he sent to his mother, Mary Elizabeth Chafee (nee Andrews), my great-grandmother. In this letter he lists our Chafee ancestors, but without any documentation or details, save that he says this person's son invented a propeller boat which used to sail from Connecticut to New York City. This ties in somewhat with the information I found in the Bristol town records, which identify his occupation as sea captain, and his place of death as Middletown, CT. (Bristol Vol. #5, p. 139) According to Frank's letter, the son George Austin (brother of my great-great-grandfather, Samuel Russel Chafee) was a restaurant and hotel man in Middletown, CT. He had a son Charles Austin and a daughter Grace. Around 1870 he built a propeller ship that ran between Portland, CT (across the river from Middletown, CT) and New York City. The ship was named after him: The George Austin Chafee. (Need to check out all these details!) George T. B.'s name came to me also from an Austin family genealogist (Bonnie Austin Bigolin of Green River, WY), in an e-mail replying to my query through their web site. They have his name in their database as having been married to Harriet N. Austin, and she listed his children for me, one of whom is my gr-great-grandfather, Samuel Russel Chafee. The name Austin has since been passed down in our family in the form of the middle name of his son George and of my grandma's brother Charles, and the first name of one of Charles's sons, among others. Also, it appears that the name Harriet has also been passed down, being the name of one of George and Harriet's daughters, the name of a granddaughter ("Hattie" who married DeWitt Bolster), and the name of a great-granddaughter -- my grandma's sister Hattie, a name which I presume was also Harriet in this generation. She died very young. My parents have her old rocking chair. Since acquiring the above information, I have viewed and copied George and Harriet's marriage record at Bristol Town Hall, as well as other family records of birth, marriage, and death. I also have photographed their gravestone(s) at Bristol's North Burial Ground. In addition to the above sources of information, I have transcripts from the following census records which show the various Chafee families: 1850, 1860, and 1870 for Bristol, RI; 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, and 1920 for Middletown, CT. "The Chaffee Genealogy" by William H. Chaffee, published in 1909, says that Mr. George T. B. Chafee "served as a sutler in the Union Army during the Civil War. He was a mechanic and restaurant keeper. He had a light complexion, blue eyes, a jovial disposition, and was five feet, four inches in height. In 1883 he lived in Middletown [CT], where he died of pneumonia at the age of seventy-five in the home of his son, Stephen B. Chafee. He was buried in the family lot in Bristol." In the front of my grandmother's old Bible there is this notation, written in her handwriting: "Lest I forget, I must write down the Chafee family motto -- 'As we journey through life, let us live by the way.' It is above the large fireplace in the Chafee Hotel in Middletown Conn. made in the masonry." | CHAFEE, George Tew Barker (I00167)
|
| 7022 | The name is passed down in the family and is spelled variously as Peregrine, Peregreene, Perigreen, Pedegreen, Pedigreen(e), Peddegreene, Perrygreen, and Petegren. Pedigreene Tripp, son of son Pedigreene, is mentioned as a grandson in the 18 Dec 1779 will of Job Tripp of Exeter, RI. He would have been age 10 at the time. | Tripp, Pedigreen (I27325)
|
| 7023 | The name is passed down in the family and is spelled variously as Peregrine, Peregreene, Perigreen, Pedegreen, Pedigreen(e), Peddegreene, Perrygreen, and Petegren. | Underwood, Perigrine (I27316)
|
| 7024 | The name is sometimes spelled Grizzle. I have read that's it is a variation of Griselda: "Griselda is Anglicized as Grisell or Grizell." Apparently the name is of German origin and means "grey battle." Her name in the transcription of the birth record is "Grizagaim." Child of Josiah and Hope; surname also spelled Merehoe and Merrehoo in the records. | MERRIHEW, Grissell (I28350)
|
| 7025 | The name of Abigail's second husband came from Barbara Chase. On Boyd Scott Remington's chart, Christopher Ralph Colvin is also identified as husband of Alta Mary Remington. He may be the same individual. Could "Alta Mary Remington" really be Abigail (Knight) Remington? This needs more resarch. | Knight, Abigail "Nabby" (I09928)
|
| 7026 | The name of Ann Celia Greene as wife of Job was obtained from a family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect. I have not yet verified this. However, in the censuses she is Ann C. Randall. Also, both of her children named a daughter Ann C. or Anne Celia. Could she be this individual? Cecelia Ann Celia Greene was born on 18 Mar 1789 in Cranston, Providence, RI, d/o John Coddington Greene and Anna Chapman (source: http://www.comnett.net/~benjamin/geneology/pafg11.htm#688) Elsewhere her dob is given as 17 June 1798 (no documentation noted). | Greene, Ann Celia (I24094)
|
| 7027 | The name of Catherine's spouse came from Rootsweb's Worldconnect -- needs verification. | Hull, Catherine (I11167)
|
| 7028 | The name of Content Greenman's father is identified in "Ancestral roots of certain American colonists who came to America" p 16, available at Google Books. She died at age 30. | Greenman, Content (I02793)
|
| 7029 | The name of Ella's husband was given to me by Ann Bowler in the Remington Family History Report. In the 1900 Federal Census the family name is given as Easley. The family is living at Rusco, Buffalo Co., NE: Charles P. 28, Rosa E. 25, Elmer L. 4, & Arthur L. 2. According to the census data, Charles & Rosa have been married 7 years. They are living next to James & Lucinda Easley, apparently Charles's parents; and the family of Nathan Easley, probably Charles's brother. in the 1910 Federal Census, the family is living at Loup, Buffalo Co., NE. There are four children in the household: Elmer E. 13, Arthur V. 12, Florence 5, & Susie A. 3. In 1920 the family is living at Cox, Lincoln Co., NE. The two daughters are still at home. By 1930 Charles has remarried to Clara M. and is living at Hayes, Reno Co., KS. There are two stepchildren in the home, surname Snowberger. | Essley, Charles P. (I22012)
|
| 7030 | The name of Justus's first wife came from a posting by Valorie Sherman on the Remington Message Board at genealogy.com, in reply to a query. | Davis, Orinda Calpurnia (I18252)
|
| 7031 | The name on Helen's birth record is Ellen. | Berry, Helen Eliza (I00070)
|
| 7032 | The name on her gravestone and in her own will is Abby, but she is called Abigail in her husband's will. Her will, dated 25 Mar 1850, mentions her deceased husband and many other relatives. | Hull, Abigail "Abby" (I04840)
|
| 7033 | The name on his will appears to be Hordall. | Horndell, John (I02347)
|
| 7034 | The name on the chart from Bodil is written: Jens Christensen (Brahe). I do not know if the name Brahe is on any of the original documents. Jens was "presented at Vistoft Church" on 27 Feb 1825. | Christensen, Jens Brahe (I06676)
|
| 7035 | The name Rebecca Scranton as the name of Thomas's wife was found on a Pierce family website: http://members.aol.com/Pierce476/Richard4.html#046 | Scranton, Rebecca (I09114)
|
| 7036 | The name Valentine was used in the Wightman family for quite a while. This one was named after his uncle. As late as the 1850 Federal Census, there was a Valentine Whitman 59 living at Warwick. Rev. Valentine Wightman was Pastor of the Baptist Church at Groton, CT, which was organized in 1705. It is said that for over 35 years it was the only Baptist church in CT. | Wightman, Rev. Valentine (I07738)
|
| 7037 | The names and dates for Gardner's children came from Rootsweb's Worldconnect, Patricia Stormo's database; also, some of the same information, plus some additional data, came from Jane A. Hardin's Remington Genealogy. In 1850, the family lived in Ohio. In the 1860 Federal Census, the family is in Decatur, Green Co., WI. At the time his father's will was probated in 1862, Gardner lived at Albany, Green Co., WI. In the 1870 Federal Census, Gardner & Sarah and their family are living at Fairview, Jones Co., IA. Children still in the household are Rodney, Viola, John, Jane, & Anne. According to the death report in the newspaper, Gardner died of paralysis. His gravestone reads "Gone to Jesus." | Remington, Gardner Jr. (I09416)
|
| 7038 | The names and dates for Hannah's two marriages come from a handwritten note in the book "Record of the Bailey Family." | Bailey, Hannah (I00884)
|
| 7039 | The names and dates for Samuel's children as I received them in a gedcom seem to be too close -- they are probably baptisms. If so, they may be correct; but I have taken the liberty of changing them so they will make sense. Still, I am not absolutely certain that these children are all in this family group, as no sources were noted. Also, they may have had two older children, John & Sarah. The list as I received it included a son John, b. March 1778, and Sarah's date of birth was given as July 1778. Also, Samuel and a second William were born too close. There were two Johns, two Williams, and two Samuels. | COLEMAN, Samuel (I03496)
|
| 7040 | The names of "Jonathan and Phebe Rementon" appear in the early membership records of the First Baptist Church in Cheshire. Gravestone inscription from the old burying ground, Cheshire, MA: Sacred to the memory of Mrs. Phebe Remington, wife of Col. Jonathan Remington, who departed this life June 8th, 1795, in the 37th year of her age. (source: Berkshire Book, by its Historical and Scientific Society, Vol. 1, Part 2, p. 88 at The Athenaeum, Pittsfield, MA) I was unsuccessful in my one attempt to locate the little cemetery where Phebe is buried. However, according to Eileen Nuttall, spokesperson for the Cheshire Historical Commission, and herself a descendant of one of the early settlers, a survey of the cemetery in 1913 recorded the gravestone as still standing and still legible: "Mrs. Phebe Remington, wife of Col. Jonathan, d. 8 June 1795, age 36." The early vital records were destroyed in a fire, so if there were marriage and death records for my ancestors there, they no longer exist. All I have is the record in the old family Bible, which lists the children of Jonathan and Phebe, but no maiden name for Phebe. I have wondered if she might be Phebe Tibbetts -- just a guess. But Phebe was a popular and fairly common name at that time, so she could have been from any number of families in RI or western MA. | UNKNOWN, Phebe (I02403)
|
| 7041 | The names of Charles & Josephine were found in the RI Death Index, with the record of Kate's death. | Offutt, Charles (I12741)
|
| 7042 | The names of Elizabeth's parents came from a descendant, Juliann Georgia West Benson. | Fisher, Elizabeth "Betsey" (I08983)
|
| 7043 | The names of Hannah's parents are noted in her death entry at Warwick City Hall. The RI Cemetery Database has her birth year as 1808. | Bennett, Hannah (I02961)
|
| 7044 | The names of Henry's children came from "Family Notes," an unpublished manuscript at the Knight Library in Providence. In the 1880 Federal Census at Providence, Henry & Mary are with Gracie & Charles, next door to "Grandpa & Grandma Remington." In the Federal Census of 1900, Henry S. & Mary C. Remington, ages 50 & 51, are living at Hartford, Hartford Co., CT. With them are two sons, Charley H. 24, & Harold K. 14. Also, there are 7 boarders listed at their residence. Henry's cause of death: apoplexy. | Remington, Henry Sheldon (I04157)
|
| 7045 | The names of John & Mary, and their marriage date, are missing form the partially burned records at North Kingstown, However, their fathers names are readable in the record. | Family F06790
|
| 7046 | The names of Joseph's parents and his wives Margaret & Hannah came from a web site: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~greenefamily/noelcheno/pafg2186.h tm#56780 This needs more research to confirm. | Greene, Joseph (I22080)
|
| 7047 | The names of Reuben's children came from a Remington genealogy by Pat Boyden. | Remington, Reuben (I11310)
|
| 7048 | The names of Samantha's parents were given to me by Ray Moot. | Denman, Samantha Maria (I19210)
|
| 7049 | The names of Samuel & Mary are found in the death record of their daughter Mary Remington, in the RI Death Index. | Tillinghast, Samuel (I04115)
|
| 7050 | The names of Sarah's parents came from a Carr genealogy book (1947), and were emailed to me by "Sue" | RICHMOND, Sarah (I01240)
|
