      This is an estimate of John's date of birth. I have placed him in this family group primarily on the basis of the names of his children, which clearly seem to reflect Penelope Parker and her parents. I have found a birth record for neither John nor his presumed sister Hannah, but in her case the marriage record identifies her parents.

      I am not absolutely sure that Susannah & Abigail were two wives of the same John Remington, but it is a reasonable assumption based on the Jamestown records, which admittedly are confusing at points.

      Boyd Scott Remington's ancestry chart lists another child, Peleg, in this family group; but that may just be a guess, as Peleg is not in the vital records. BSR gives no date of birth for Peleg, but as his marriage was in 1772, he could possibly fit into this family group. Unfortunately, BSR notes no sources.
