• Notes

  Please note that I am not sure that Peleg belongs to these parents. I am including him here based on certain evidence including census, location, and age. See notes for Susan Briggs. In the 1820 Federal Census, Peleg is listed at Warwick: 2 FWM <10, 1 FWM >45, 1 FWF <10, 3 FWF 10-15, 1 FWF 26-44. This suggests that Peleg and Susan had 4 daughters and 2 sons. In the 1850 Federal Census, Susan Remington is living at Warwick, listed next to -- or possibly with -- Thomas & Almira Remington. This suggests a family relationship. Thomas was s/o Russell Remington. I have made a working assumption that Susan Remington is Thomas's aunt by marriage to his uncle Peleg. There may be another son of Peleg and Susan in this family: William H. Remington who married Sarah F. Hazard at Warwick 25 July 1849. (needs more research to confirm -- yes, this has been confirmed) Peleg's will was dated Nov 1847, proved 14 Feb 1848 at Warwick. It mentions wife Susan and daughter Phebe Ann Arnold. DAR records show Susan Briggs as Peleg's second wife. I don't know that this is accurate. The DAR file shows "Nancy" as his first wife. I believe there was an earlier Peleg Remington who had a wife named Nancy/Anstice. The two could have been confused by researchers, but then again there could have been two Pelegs with wives named Nancy. However, another thought is that this Peleg's first wife could have been Lydia Rhodes, Phebe Field, or Amy Fifield. I have four possible wives for Peleg Remington II, but that could certainly be incorrect. See notes for Peleg Remington II b 1764. DAR records show this Peleg as b c1757/58, but the RI Cemetery Database has c1775.
