  • Notes 
    • 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.
