  • Notes 
    • On the membership roll of The Baptist Church in Exeter, 15 June 1845: William (d 1865) & Mary Remington.

      There is a William Remington listed for Exeter in the 1830 census, and is most likely this William.

      In the 1850 Federal Census, William & Mary Rimmington are living at Bristol, RI, with married daughter Waity Ann Arnold and her family. Another daughter, Betsey, is also in the household.

      In the 1860 Federal Census, William is 72 and Mary is 69. They are living at Exeter, Washington Co., RI. Also in the household are George H. Remington, 16 (c1844), and Albert A. Arnold, 12. They are next door to Joseph R. & Hannah Arnold and family. Hannah may be their daughter-in-law, who had married their son Stephen, who died in 1843. Assuming this is true, George H. Remington may be the son of Stephen & Hannah.

      The death entry at Providence says he died in his 76th year, and identifies him as "son of Hezekiah."

      His gravestone in the Greenwood Cemetery, Coventry, says he "died suddenly."
