  Father	Gershom Remington,   b. 3 Dec 1690, Jamestown, RI ,   d. Aft 1736  (Age > 47 years)
  Mother	Clemence Battey,   b. 4 Jul 1695, Jamestown, RI ,   d. Aft Dec 1733  (Age > 39 years)
  Married	13 Feb 1712/13	Jamestown, RI   [2]
  Notes	BSR says Gershom married Catherine Clemence on 13 Feb 1713, Jamestown (no source noted). However, in some documents she is referred to as Clemence. Jamestown records identify their children as "of Gershom & Clemens" or Clemence. I have made an assumption that she is Clemence Battey, based on their dates of birth and the given names Clemence & Dinah, found in both the Battey and Remington families.

• Notes

  (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.) I am making an assumption that this John Remington belongs in this family group, solely based on the names and dates of his children. (But note: this needs further research. At the present time I can not see any other family in which he would fit.) Some of John's descendants -- as far as can be determined -- are buried in the Blackstone Cemetery, Blackstone, MA. A stone there refers to John Remington 1680 - 1745. But if this John who married Mary is the son of John b1680, why do the names of his children reflect the ancestry of Gershom & Clemence? BSR says he moved from Jamestown in 1756. This note may pertain to this John Remington: Newport Mercury 30 Oct 1915, historical note from 31 Jul 1769 - "John Remington carries on shoe making for Elizabeth Mumford, wido, in New Lane." BSR has his date of death as 06 December 1809.
