  • Notes 
    • In 1863, William W. & Hannah were "of Pawtucket," as noted when the death of their daughter Mary was recorded at Warwick.

      In the 1850 & 1860 Federal Censuses at Warwick, Kent, RI, William is with his second wife Susan and three daughters.

      At age 63 in the 1880 Federal Census, William was working in a cotton mill, while Susan was keeping house, still at Warwick, RI.

      He is probably the W. W. Remington who served as a deacon in the Phenix Baptist Church, Warwick, RI (now in West Warwick).
