  • Notes 
    • Benjamin F. Remington was a Lieutenant in the Civil War, RI 1st Light Artillery, Tompkins Battery. He was originally stationed at Providence, RI, for three months' service, April 1861. His battery was sent to battle, but didn't participate in a full-scale battle, as the confederates vacated camp when the Union troops approached. Remington was in command of the battery on the return trip home. They were disappointed that they didn't have the chance to use their skills.

      This family is in the 1880 Census at Warwick, RI.

      Cause of death: consumption.
