According to the RI Cemetery Database (complete data), Louisa P. Remington was born 27 Dec 1849. However, if Louisa (Potter) Remington died 7 March 1849, she cannot be her mother. Although Martha Benns includes her in this family, there is a discrepancy in these dates. Benns may have been confused by the month of death. The gravestone inscription gives Louisa's dob as 27 Feb 1849, which is more reasonable.
The 1850 Federal Census shows a Louisa T. Remington, age 1 year, living in a Cranston household with Orra 60, Juliett 30, & Matilda Potter 30, and Cynthia Mathewson 39. Probably they were caring for the child because her mother had died.
On the other hand, Louisa P. Remington, age 1, is with John Remington and his (second) wife Amy and family, living at Scituate, RI in 1850. Is this the same child listed twice, or two different individuals? I tend to think it is the same one, and that she was being cared for by relatives at the time of the census, perhaps while John's new wife "settled in."
Louisa Remington is mentioned in the will of her aunt, Susan (Remington) Place, dated 27 Oct 1855.
