  Mother	Freelove Nichols,   b. 7 Aug 1740,   d. Aft Apr 1771  (Age > 31 years)
  Married	16 Aug 1759	East Greenwich, RI
  Notes	The marriage registration in East Greenwich vital records says the officiant was Giles Peirce, Justice. However, whoever recorded it may have made an error, since the marriage is in Elder Gorton's personal journal, where the entry states that he married them. The date in East Greenwich VRs is 23 Aug 1759. Unfortunately this marriage was not a success. "In April 1771 Freelove Remington petitioned for divorce from Thomas Remington, 'late of Warwick, mariner.' She told how he changed after marriage: ' . . . the fatal Knot being Ti'd the Smilling Affability of the Lover and Friend was converted into the Stern Severity of a Tyrant' and he treated her with 'implacable Fury' (Kent County Superior Court, April 1771, Judicial Archives at Pawtucket, RI). She alleged that he abandoned her in Jan. 1765 and ever after lived in adultery. The petition was granted" (quoted from "Elder John Gorton and the Six-Principle Baptist Church of East Greenwich, RI" by Cherry Fletcher Bamberg, p. 208).
