7555	Valentine's grandfather Edward had been burned at the stake in England for his faith, so Valentine came here for religious freedom, as many RI families did. When he came to America, Valentine initially settled in Providence, where his first child was born in 1653. The area called Quidnessett was defined in 1659 by agreement with Indian sachem Kachanaquant; its boundaries were the Potomomut River (now Hunt's River) on the north, the Indian road or Pequot Path (now Post Road) on the west, Richard Smith's land (Wickford area) on the south, and Narragansett Bay on the east, totalling about 6x3 miles. In 1660 the Atherton Company, a group of land speculators from MA Bay Colony and CT, was ordered by the Assembly to open up the Quidnessett tract to purchase by private individuals. Valentine Wightman procured an area of 100-plus acres bordering the bay. This land soon became the property of his brother George, and was handed down intact through 6 generations and known for over 200 years as the Wightman homestead in Quidnessett. George later acquired more land, totalling about 2000 acres. For a fascinating history of the Wightman family, see: http://www.concentric.net/~Ssbray/wightman.htm	Wightman, Valentine (I07746)
7556	Valentine's will mentions his wife Mercy and his seven brothers.	Sweet, Valentine (I01922)
7557	Very possibly he is the Henry Remington, age 72 (b c1778 MA), in the 1850 Federal Census, living at Allenstown, Merrimack Co., New Hampshire, with a wife named Elizabeth, age 64. There are two (probable) daughters living with them: Charlotte, 20, and Emeline A., 17, in addition to four other individuals. Familysearch.org shows Henry's parents as John Remington and Elizabeth Hartshorn. Possibly he was a son of John Jr., b 1755.	Remington, Henry (I08024)
7558	Vesta was a daughter of Alvin A. Hostetler and his wife Sarah Ellen Shutt.	Hostetler, Vesta (I20609)
7559	Vincy was of Wallingford, CT, at the time of her marriage. Her surname is sometimes written as Moss, although the spelling on both the marriage record and the tombstone is Morse. It has been supposed that she is a descendant of John Moss, one of the original founders of the New Haven Colony. However, is has not been confirmed. Her death certificate names Cairo, NY, as her birthplace. (source: Kay Larson, a descendant; contact info may be available on request) The 1860 Federal Census has NY as her state of birth.	Morse, Vincy (I11133)
7560	Violate (Vilate) is mentioned in the wills of her mother Patience (Greene) Andrew and grandmother Rebeckah (Cahoone) Greene. Her own will, dated 15 March 1830 at Coventry, RI, mentions her three sons and four daughters.	Andrew, Violate (I12172)
7561	Virgilious D. Remington appears to be living in McDonough Co., Illinois, in the 1850 Federal Census. In 1860 V.D. & Caroline Remington are at Hillsboro, Washington Co., OR. They have four children born in various states: Illinois, California, & Oregon. In 1870, the family is at Abiqua Precinct, Marion Co., Oregon: V.D. & Caroline, and (apparently) their four children. Son Dewitt Remington is also with them. In 1880 Virgilius D. & Clarinda D. Remington are living in Idaho Territory, with their son James. Also in the household are Elmer & Jerome. They are next door to son Comfort Remington and his wife.	Remington, Virgilious Doud (I12921)
7562	Virginia lived in Atlanta, GA, and passed away in 2003. Family information had been sent to Dorothy White, genealogist for the association.	Source (S012837)
7563	Virginia may have been Lula's daughter by her first marriage.	Nottage, Virginia E. (I28721)
7564	VITAL RECORDS OF MIDDLEFIELD, MA TO THE YEAR 1850.	Source (S013777)
7565	VOSE JEREMIAH 1766c - 11 MAY 1851 CU009 I don't know for sure that Jeremiah is Amariah's brother. This needs more research to confirm. Read notes for Amariah. He enlisted in the Rev War at Wrentham, MA. He is listed as a soldier in the MA Line, pay due 1 Jan 1784 (4th Regiment, under Col. Michael Jackson). Jeremiah Force was a Rev War Pensioner (file #7236). His pay began 22 Apr 1818 at Cumberland, RI. In 1820, Jeremiah was age 55 and wife Sally was 42. The names and ages of his children are listed in his file -- except his one son, age 17, is not named. Among Revolutionary War veterans who attended a July 4th (1831) celebration at Providence, RI, Jeremiah Force, age 66, from Smithfield, RI, is listed (at Google Books). In the Federal Census of 1850, Jeremiah & Sally Vose, ages 86 & 72, are at Cumberland, RI.	Vose, Jeremiah (I26182)
7566	VOSE SALLY 1778c - 26 FEB 1863 CU009 In Jeremiah's Rev War pension file, her maiden name looks like Butler -- but it is difficult to read. Jeremiah's wife Sally stated their date and place of marriage, and it was recorded by the clerk like this: "The magistrate who married them spelt his name Vose, as it sometimes is, and often has been, pronounced -- but his name is spelled Force." Sally signed her statement as Sally Fose (?) -- unclear. As of 17 Dec 1855, Sally was a resident of Marlborough, MA. In the Federal Census of 1860, Sally Vose (spelled Bose) is living at Marlborough with her married daughter Emeline Allen, and Emeline's husband, William C. Allen.	Butler, Sally (I26183)
7567	Waite's brother William married the sister of Waite's husband, Abraham Sheldon (Mary Sheldon).	Rhodes, Waite (I07805)
7568	Waity & her husband lived at Lorraine, NY, according to Boyd Scott Remington's chart.	Remington, Waity (I09607)
7569	Waity was daughter of John, of Peleg.	Spencer, Waite (I15124)
7570	WAKEFIELD SUSAN (VOSE) 1799c - 13 APR 1882 CU009 The only Susan Wakefield I can find in the censuses is at Augusta, Kennebec Co., ME, married to John Wakefield. In 1870 they are at Clinton, Kennebec Co., ME. There's a notation on the census that says she is blind. In 1880 she appears to be a the widow age 86 in Hopkington, MA, living with Clara Wakefield, 12. The age and birthplace (Maine) are correct. It could be that after her husband died, she had to move in with someone else to help her. MA death records show that she died at Worcester, of dementia. It doesn't name her parents, but gives her birthplace as Cumberland. Apparently, whoever was the informant at the time of her death did not know where she was born or the names of her parents. They did remember she had lived in Cumberland. I have made an assumption that the Susana mentioned as a daughter in Jeremiah's pension file is Susan (Vose) Wakefield whose grave is in the same cemetery. The age and location agree.	Vose, Susana (I26186)
7571	WALKER Peleg, Esq., at Foster, suddenly, May 19, 1822	Walker, Peleg (I26786)
7572	Walker's first wife was Mercy Remington, who died at age 24. She is mentioned as deceased in her father's will, dated 21 November 1807. Walker's second wife was Marcy (Unknown). The book "The Armington Family in America" does not mention Walker's son Joseph (mentioned in the will of Enoch Remington), or Walker's second wife, Marcy, who is buried with him.	Armington, Captain Walker (I05147)
7573	WALLACE D. POWERS 1915 - 2003 Wallace David Powers, 88, of Fountain, CO, died peacefully Thursday, May 15, 2003. He was born March 31, 1915 in Brownington, VT, the son of the late Philo and Rilla (Hanson) Powers. He grew up on a dairy farm in Brownington, VT, and often talked about making maple syrup on the family farm all by himself, using a horse and sleigh to transport the sap to the sugar house. His Dad was road commissioner in Brownington for 24 years, and he often spoke about the work horses they had. Mr. Powers retired from Bulova Watch Company in Providence, RI in 1977. He was a boiler room operator for over 20 years, and often spoke of the Salem and Dexter Street plants. He is preceded in death by his sisters, Phoebe Hardie and Leona Turcotte. He leaves three children, Joyce L. (Kirk) House of Bath, NY, David C. Powers of Barrington, RI, and Avis (Ray) Vencill of Fountain, CO; three grandchildren, Joshua House, Eric House and Nathan Thornley. He enjoyed traveling, music (especially old Lawrence Welk shows), and good conversation. He was a wonderful, hard working father, and will be greatly missed by his loved ones. No viewing or services are planned. A private ceremony will be held with immediate family members. His remains will be buried in Highland Memorial Park, Johnston, RI.	Powers, Wallace David (I00074)
7574	Walter became Governor of RI, and was one of the original proprietors of the Monmouth Patent, NJ.	Clarke, Walter (I02785)
7575	Walter died at age 6 of of scrofula (a variety of skin disease; in particular, a form of tuberculosis, affecting the lymph nodes of the neck).	Remington, Walter S. (I18359)
7576	Walter H. B. Remington was mayor of New Bedford, MA, from 1922 to 1924. He is related to me four ways: 5th cousin 3x removed; 5th cousin 4x removed; 6th cousin 4x removed; and 7th cousin 3x removed.	Remington, Walter Holden Browning (I06426)
7577	Wanda Harbert [WandaHarbert@charter.net]	Source (S013615)
7578	Wanda Harbert's genealogy has the date of marriage as 25 Jan 1773.	Family F03182
7579	Wanton's two wives were sister, daughters of Deacon Philip Gray. In the 1850 Federal Census, the family is at Tiverton, RI: Wanton Manchester 73 farmer, Almy Manchester 63, Oliver P. Seabury 35 miner (husband of Elizabeth), Harriet O. Manchester 25, Susan A. Manchester 23, Mary J. Manchester 20, George ? Manchester 65, Mumford Lawton 37 laborer, and Elizabeth Seabury 33. Next door are Jared and Nancy Reid; Jared is the Congregational Minister and Nancy is a daughter of Cornelius Seabury. Next to them are Franklin and Emily Seabury and their two young children; Emily is another daughter of Wanton & Almy Manchester; Franklin is a brother to Nancy Reid.	Manchester, Wanton (I03142)
7580	Wardwell Greene and his second wife Mary may have been the Wardwell & Mary Greene who were members of the Maple Root Baptist Church in Coventry, RI, around 1782.	Greene, Wardwell (I09263)
7581	Warwick Births 1850 - 1882, p. 110. In the 1900 Federal Census, James & Sarah are living at North Kingstown, RI, with Sarah's mother, Alvira Sweet. Other Sweet relatives are with them and next door. In the 1910 Federal Census, James D. & Sarah J. Remington, ages 40 and 44, are living in Providence, RI, on Killingly St. In the home is a stepson, William C. Bennett, age 24. According to his obituary, James D. Remington died at age 60 at the State Infirmary after a long illness. It says he was born in Old Warwick and was a resident of East Greenwich for many years. He resided at Potowomut for a number of years and was employed by Charles E. Sweet delivering ice. The obit identifies his parents as Benjamin F. and Adeline Manchester Remington, and his wife as Sarah J. Remington. His funeral was conducted by Rev. Arthur C. Lambourne of Frenchtown Baptist Church.	Remington, James DeWolf (I00353)
7582	Warwick Births 1850 - 1882, p. 135; East Greenwich Deaths Vol. 5 p. 8. The entry says he died at Wine St., East Greenwich, of pneumonia following influenza.	Remington, Joseph Ellery (I00354)
7583	Warwick Births 1850 - 1882, p. 151.	Remington, Charles Abner (I00355)
7584	Warwick Births 1850 - 1882, Vol. 1, p. 20, gives her date of birth as 22 January 1857. It says she was born in Old Warwick, and that her parents were born in Tiverton. In the Federal Census of 1860, she probably is the Amelia Remington age 13 living at Warwick, RI (Old Warwick Post Office), as a domestic servant in the household of William Warner, age 69. However, Amelia M. Remington age 13 is also listed with her family at Old Warwick in that census. Information from one family member says she married John T. Buzzell. Other notes say she married Pealy Basset. In the Federal Census of 1 June 1900, Amelia Buzzell is age 42 and living in Providence with her brother Benjamin and his family.	Remington, Amelia M. (I00347)
7585	Warwick Births 1850 - 1882, Vol. 1, p. 57; the birthplace is given as Warwick Neck. In the Federal Census of 1 June 1900, Benjamin & Kate are living on Atwood Street in Providence, RI. With them is daughter Addie, 12, and Amelia Buzzell, Ben's sister, age 42. In the 1920 Federal Census, Benjamin & Catherine Remington, ages 58 & 50, are living at 103 Atwood St., Providence, RI. With them is Earl W., age 4 y 3 mos. His last name is given as Remington, but I believe he is actually Earl W. Shaw, Benjamin's orphaned grandson. Census data shows that Earl's parents were both born in RI. According to the death record, Benjamin F. Remington died 3 Apr 1924 at 103 Atwood St., Providence, aged 61 years.	Remington, Benjamin Franklin (I00350)
7586	Warwick Vital Records record the marriage of a Mary Remington to William Backer, 28 July 1724. The bride may have been this Mary.	Remington, Mary (I02920)
7587	Was he a sister of Mercy Matteson, b c 1705?	Matteson, Joseph (I01940)
7588	Was her middle name Gifford? Or Gertrude? In the marriage records of her children, Emeline is called Emeline Rounds twice and Emeline Manchester once. The death record identifies her parents as Jeremy & Mary Manchester.	Manchester, Emeline G. (I00915)
7589	Was his wife Freelove? Or perhaps his second wife? There was a John Remington of Warwick who died c1745, whose wife Freelove was appointed executrix of his estate on 1 Feb 1745. I have speculated that the following two excerpts from the Warwick land records could refer to this John (courtesy of Cherry Fletcher Bamberg): 11 March 1744/5: Mrs. Freelove Remington, widow of John Remington, late of Warwick, deceased, exhibited an inventory of her husband's estate. The clerk was instructed to give her a letter of administration. [Her administration bond on file in WK] 1 February 1745 at the home of Lt. John Low: Freelove Remington, having given bond, presented an inventory of John Remington's estate and received a letter of administration. In the Blackstone Cemetery in Blackstone, MA, there is a memorial stone which reads: "In memory of John Remington 1680 - 1745 who gave this land to his descendants for a perpetual burial ground" (which I have since come to find out is a mistake). I have made an assumption that this refers to John Remington, b 1680 at Jamestown, RI, son of Joseph according to the Jamestown records. Also near the memorial stone is a smaller stone with the initials J. R. on it. Perhaps this indicates that he was buried there -- but not certain. It could have been another individual with the same initials -- such as his father Joseph, or someone else. There are several other Remington gravestones there (Gershom, John, etc.), as well as other extended family members who married into the Remingtons. However, I haven't yet determined their exact connection back to John b 1680, other than what I have on this family tree. It might help if we knew who his wife was. The Jamestown records are somewhat confusing, but it may be possible to piece together most of the family correctly. We shall see (ongoing research). I have looked at the History of Worcester County and the History of Blackstone, both in the reference section of the Blackstone Library. Neither of them mentions Remingtons, that I could see.	Remington, John (I02895)
7590	Was his wife Virginia, whose grave is in Coventry Historical Cemetery 109?	Remington, William H. (I05365)
7591	Was she Elizabeth Bowler-Coleman, b.c.1849 and d. 23 June 1927 age 78 (buried in Sutton-in-Ashfield Cemetery)?	Henstock, Elizabeth (I06654)
7592	Was there really a Silas in this family, or should this be Sylvia?	Remington, Silas (I19994)
7593	Was this a first marriage for her? FONES Martha, and Daniel ------; m. by George Thomas, Justice of Peace; recorded ----. --, 1768, North Kingstown.	Fones, Martha (I21727)
7594	Washington Court of Common Pleas, 6 January 1735/36: Thomas Havens, s/o Thomas Havens, of North Kingstown husbandman pla vs Benjamin Northup, Jr., s/o Henry Northup, of North Kingstown yeoman def. If correct, this entry is evidence that Henry had a son named Benjamin, who probably would have been at least age 21 in 1736. However, no son named Benjamin is mentioned in what remains of Henry's will.	Northup, Benjamin (I13927)
7595	Washington Remington was one of triplets, all of whom lived to be age 72 or over. In the 1870 Federal Census, Washington & Hannah are living in Smithfield, RI, with his parents. There are three children in the household: Mary E., Susan W., & Ida E. In the 1880 Federal Census, Washington & Hannah are living at North Smithfield, RI, with 2 daughters, a son-in-law, and one grandchild.	Remington, Washington (I05592)
7596	Waterman & Mercy were married by Elder John Gorton of the Six Principle Baptist Church, where they also were members.	Family F00731
7597	WATERMAN Mary, widow of Stephen, at Scituate, in 80th year; buried at family burial ground, in Cranston. Sermon by Rev. Mr. Cornell, Sept. 17, 1810	Brown, Mercy (I26623)
7598	WATERMAN Nathaniel, at Scituate, in 95th year, Feb. 3, 1790 WATERMAN Nathaniel, at Scituate, in 95th year, many years a member of the Baptist Church, Feb. 3, 1790	Waterman, Nathaniel (I26597)
7599	Waterman Tibbitts and his wife Mercy Waterman were first cousins, both descendents of Roger Williams through his daughter Mercy, who married Resolved Waterman, whose son John Waterman married Anne Olney. Waterman's mother -- Phebe, and Mercy's father -- John, were siblings, children of John and Anne. Waterman & Mercy joined the Six-Principle Baptist Church of East Greenwich together on 16 October 1783. According to author Cherry Fletcher Bamberg, this was 20 years after he contributed money to repair the meetinghouse, and 18 years after being married by Elder Gorton. At 12 o'clock on Christmas Day 1783, there was a church meeting held at "Brother Waterman Tibbitts." Other church meetings were noted as taking place there, also. Later, on 31 April 1787, they were given letters of recommendation to Elder Thomas Manchester's church in Coventry on 31 April 1787. Waterman became clerk of this assembly, the Maple Root Baptist Church, in 1790. According to Bamberg's notes in the book "Elder John Gorton and the Six-Principle Baptist Church of East Greenwich, Rhode Island," he was born 13 April 1741 in Warwick, RI, by his own sworn testimony. He was a lifelong resident of Warwick. His Revolutionary War service consisted of short enlistments in various alarm companies spanning two years. Town records at Warwick in 1779 listed for Waterman Tibbetts: 93 acres of land used for hay, corn, apples, wood, pasteurage, a house, barn, cider house, corn crib, and a variety of farm animals. The 1798 Direct Tax recorded a two-story home, 40' x 24', on two acres about two miles from Apponaug. The family burial plot was originally located up on the hill where Tollgate High School is now, so I imagine his farm was in that area, probably bordering Bald Hill Road.	TIBBETTS, Waterman (I02019)
7600	Watson Carvosso Squire was manager of the Remington Arms Company from 1866 to 1879, when they moved to Seattle. He was governor of Washington Territory 1884-1887, and afterwards United States Senator from Washington for two terms. (source: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyherkim/obits9.html)	Squire, Col. Watson Carvosso (I08665)
