- Paraphrased from Warwick land evidence, July 21, 1760:
The 34th year of the reign of George II, Peleg Remington yeoman of Warwick, to Stephen Wilcox yeoman of Warwick, two acres of land in Scituate set off on the south side of Peleg's land, bounded on the west by land of Isaac Tripp, north by land belonging to Jane Remington, east by the highway, south by Stephen Wilcox's land, 100 pounds 10 shillings 4 p. Anstice Remington, wife of Peleg, released and quitclaim her right of dowry and power of thirds on the land in Scituate, deed signed 21 July 1760. Recorded at Warwick 30 Dec 1767.
I am assuming that this Peleg is one of the two Peleg Remingtons listed for Warwick in the 1774 RI Census. If so, he probably had at least one daughter (b. aft. 1758) and three sons (one b. bef. 1758 and two b. aft. 1758). Some time ago I discovered (at the Warwick Historical Society) a reprint of a newspaper article referring to a Peleg Remington who inherited the estate of Capt. Thomas Remington, slave trader of Pawtuxet. This increases the number of Pelegs and Thomases to sort out.
From Warwick Land Evidence, 20 June 1772:
"I, Oliver Arnold of East Greenwich, inn holder, am bound and obliged to Peleg Remington of Warwick, laborer, for L20."
Conditions of above obligation -- aforementioned Peleg Remington -- both this day made a deed of sale of a certain house and lot of aforementioned Oliver Arnold. Deed to the place at death (?) of Jean Remington mother of aforementioned Peleg Remington, sd. premises in Warwick.
Aforesaid Peleg Remington pay unto aforesaid Oliver Arnold money with interest due thereon at death of above Jean Remington.

The following notes are from East Greenwich Town Council Records, courtesy of Cherry Fletcher Bamberg, also published in "Gleanings" Apr 2008 by RIGS:
30 Dec 1749 -- A summons was issued to Nansey Remington, wife of Peleg Remington of Warwick, to appear and explain her presence in the town.
21 Jan 1749/50 -- Nansey Remington of Warwick, wife of Peleg Remington, was ordered to leave town before the next council meeting or bring security for abode.

Does the above refer to this Peleg? Are Nancy and Anstice the same person? Probably -- Nancy was usually a nickname for Ann and its variations.
Is he the same Peleg Remington, of Warwick, RI, who served in Capt Wall's Company in 1757 during the French & Indian War? Possibly.
There are two Peleg Remingtons listed for Warwick in the 1774 RI Census.

From Warwick Town Council Records (courtesy of Cherry Fletcher Bamberg):
6 April 1747: Josiah Remington of Warwick, deceased "some time since," leaving a small estate in Warwick. The council offered administration first to the unnamed widow and then to the son Peleg Remington who both refused. The clerk was to post notices in Warwick and surrounding towns asking creditors to come forward at the next quarterly meeting.
13 October 1764: Capt. Silas Cook submitted his bill for sundries delivered to Peleg Remington's wife by order of the overseer of the poor. Approved.
(Was this bill referring to this particular Peleg, husband of Anstice? If so, she was still alive as of this date.)
