I have estimated the birth years of some of the children. Russell is not found in most of the genealogies, but is in a family Bible record. Also, it is said that Charles had a twin named Deborah -- she must have died in infancy. I have no further information on either Russell or Deborah.

Notes - Death notice in the Columbian Centinel of 20 Feb 1819: "Capt. Thomas Remmington, d. in Pawtuxet, aged 61."
RI American, death notice: "Capt. Thomas Remington, d. at Pawtuxet in 61st yr., 15 Feb 1819, a nautical commander, Masonic honors."
According to a local historian, Ginny Leslie, Thomas Remington lived in a house now at 100 Post Rd. in Pawtuxet Village. Elsewhere it has been stated that he lived at 47 Post Rd., but Ms. Leslie states that this is incorrect.
From an email from Ms. Leslie, dated 20 Jan 2010, concerning "a certain house (100 Post Road) . . . According to land evidence records, this is the Thomas Remington House. He bought the land from Malachi and Peter Rhodes. Many years ago, Hazel Kennedy, a local historian, claimed that the house at 47 Post Road was the Thomas Remington house dating from around 1740 but this is NOT TRUE. That is the Peleg Rhodes House and dates to about 1800 (it is obviously a federal house, not a colonial one). Thomas Remington never owned the house and it appears Peleg Rhodes lived there until his death, which was after TR's death in 1819. Unfortunately, people continue to identify this house as Thomas Remington's."
