  • Notes 
    • (If you use any portion of these notes, please give source credit to Lois Sorensen, Remington family researcher and compiler, and to other sources as noted herein.)

      On 29 Oct 1836, Mary Remington appeared at the Court of Common Pleas, Providence County, to testify concerning her husband's military service. On that date Mary was a resident of Cranston, and was a widow age 78.

      According to the Revolutionary War Pension File, this couple had three children still living in March 1837: Charles, Daniel, & William. Based on that information, I have included those names in this family group, and have pieced together data as best as I can to determine who these individuals were. This family is still in ongoing research; it is possible that there were additional children.

      The RI Death Index identifies the parents of Charles Remington as Thomas & Mary. I am not absolutely sure that his parents were the Thomas Remington, Jr., & Mary Wood who were married in Warwick in 1778, but it seems to be a reasonable assumption, based on Thomas's pension file which mentions a son Charles, the location, and the time frame. So, for the time being, until research shows otherwise, I am including Mary's maiden name as Wood (see marriage record and the same date in the pension file), and am entering their marriage data as such, with this particular Charles as a son.

      The marriage record at Warwick identifes Mary Wood as daughter of William.

      She may have been a sister of Olney Wood who married Rosanna Remington. Both Olney and Mary were children of a William Wood.

      In the 1830 census, Sally Ann Wood, widow of Olney Wood, and two William Woods are living near Thomas & Patience Remington and family.
