1. Clemence Remington was born 16 Apr 1766, Jamestown, Newport Co., RI; died 12 Jan 1838. Notes:
I obtained Clemence's date of birth from her family Bible record, now at Hanover College Libray in PA.
The marriage of Clemence Remington & Clarke Cornell took place at Newport, which is close to Jamestown, where this family lived. BSR says John died at Newport.
