  • Notes 
    • Some information on the names of Samuel's wife and children was first obtained from "The Remington Family," compiled by Martha A. Benns, and from Patricia L. Stormo's online data at Rootsweb. I supplemented these sources with some dates from the RI Cemetery Database, census data, and further research.

      In the 1850 Federal Census, this family is living at Cranston, RI: Samuel G. (T) 44, Rebecca W. 42, Rebecca P. 13, Samuel T. 8, Peleg R. 6, and Mary 75 (Samuel's mother).

      In 1880 they are still at Cranston, in Pawtuxet Village. Samuel & Rebecca are 75 & 72; with them are Peleg & Emma.

      From the Providence Journal, Monday AM, 11 Oct 1880: "In Pawtuxet on the 10th inst., Captain Samuel T. Remington, in the 75th year of his age. Funeral at the church on Wednesday, 13th inst., at 1 o'clock. Relatives and friends invited."
