    Notes 
    • This marriage or marriage intention is listed in Elder James Wilson's Marriages, but the newspaper report says the minister was Rev. Mr. Shurtleff. There is also a discrepancy in the dates, as "Family Notes" by James N. Arnold has the date as 15 September, rather than 4 September.

      The marriage intention was published on 20 & 27 Aug 1826 and also on 3 Sep 1826. At that time Edward was of Providence and Mary was of Pawtuxet.

      A descendant, Martha Adams (Remington) (Davies) Bower, has the marriage date as 4 Sep 1826.

      The cemetery information at usgwenwebarchives.net has the marriage date as 4 Sep 1826.

  • Notes 
    • (If you use any portion of these notes, please give source credit to Lois Sorensen, Remington family researcher and compiler, and to other sources as noted herein.)

      Some information on Frank's family came from Chandler Smith Cheek and Linda Poast.

      In the 1850 Federal Census, Francis & Ann are a young married couple with a four-month-old baby, Mary, living with his parents and siblings at Thomasville, GA. In 1860 F. H. Remington is age 32 (b. RI) and his wife Ann is 30 (b. GA); their children are Mary, 7; S., 4; and F., 1. They are in Thomas County, GA. In 1870 they are still at Thomasville, with five of their children. It appears that the first Mary may have died young, and later another daughter was also named Mary. In 1880 Frank & Ann are still at Thomasville, and with them are Willie D., 17, & Gertrude, 18. Also in the household are daughter Mary E. Walthour and her son Frank R., 6.

      Notes from Chandler: In 1855, F. H. Remington was made Worthy Master of the Thomasville Masonic Lodge. In 1858 he was elected Clerk and Treasurer of the Thomasville City Council/ Aldermen.
