In the 1850 Federal Census, Benjamin & Mary Remington are living at Middletown, Newport Co., RI. Three other individuals are in the household with them, including Tripheny Peckham, age 89, Mary's mother. Several other Peckham families are living nearby.
"Benny E." is the writer of several letters published in "Lydia's Letters." His letters show him to be a "doting uncle and loving brother," in the words of Pam (Amari) Rich.
Benjamin E. Remington is mentioned several times in the Jamestown Town Records, indexed online at the Jamestown Historical Society. One example is the following:
"Records; handwritten warrant to warn jurors issued to Walter Watson and Borden Watson for jury duty in the Court of Common Pleas to be held in Newport on May 15, 1820 as well as George Knowles and Daniel Weeden for jury duty in the District Court to be held in Newport May 9, 1820 and Benjamin E.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Susannah G. Wilcox is age 50, living at Jamestown, RI, with the family of John W. & Abby H. Potter and their two young children. I think Abby may be Susannah's daughter (see note below).
From Jamestown records: Susanna G. Remington daughter of John & Phebe born July 9, 1798.
Her gravestone identifies her as Susan G. Wilcox, daughter of John & Phebe R. Remington.
Does this birth record refer to her daughter? "REMINGTON Abby Howland, of Sukey, April 30, 1821." (Jamestown births)

"RI Vital Records: New Series" Vol. 6, p. 66, gives his date of birth as 6 Aug 1822. However, the RI Cemetery Database has his mother's year of death as 1820, so one of them must be wrong. He is age 30 in the 1850 Federal Census, so I am using 1820 as the year of birth. In 1850 the family is living at East Greenwich with Cynthia's mother, Lydia Sprague.
