Individual Note:   (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and/or to other sources as noted herein.)
John and Abigail and family were residents of Newport and Kingstown, RI, according to "Representative Men of Old Families of Southeastern MA," V. I, p. 173.

Boyd Scott Remington's ancestry chart has John's date of birth as 12 March 1651.

He became a freeman 30 April 1678.

See notes for his father. Some of the information cited there could pertain to this John Remington.

Note for: Abigail Richmond, BET 1656 AND 1659 - 20 JUL 1744 Index

Will:
     Date:   20 JUL 1744
     Place:   8 Oct 1744 at South Kingstown, RI

Individual Note:   Abigail's parents were "of Haverhill, MA."

She was the widow of John Remington when she married Henry Gardner (see notes for Henry ).

The Rev. Dr. MacSparran in his diary (Sept 30th and Oct 4th 1744) speaks of the death of his wife's grandmother, at the great age of eighty-eight years.

If Abigail was the daughter of Edward's second wife, Abigail, she must have been born after Edward who was born in 1658, son of Amey.

Individual Notes

Note for: Abigail Davis, ABT 1637 - Index

Individual Note: Apparently Abigail was married when very young to Richard Ussell, but this marriage was declared unlawful by the Assembly, because she said her mother and stepfather, John Cowdall, had forced it on her. In 1656 she testified that her own choice was Edward Richmond. (see "Family Notes" at the Knight Memorial Library in Providence, RI)

     Place:   Proved 11 Apr 1763 at South Kingstown, RI

Individual Note:   GARDINER Abigail, wife of William, of Boston Neck, bapt. at her sister Mumford's in Groton, CT, Nov. 2, 1731

The will of Abigail Almy, maiden name Remington, widow of Job Almy and previously widow of William Gardiner, was written 3 Apr 1762, and proved 11 Apr 1763 at South Kingstown, RI. The will was witnessed by Mary Chappell, Robert Stoddard, & Francis Willett. Abigail was the mother of Hannah (Gardiner) MacSparran, wife of Rev. James. (source note: RI Genealogical Register, Vol. 2, No. 3, p. 157)

The will mentions sons John & Sylvester Gardner, daughter Abigail Robinson, and the following grandchildren: Josiah Arnold, Anstis Robinson, Abigail Updike, Abigail Stewart, & Mary Dockray.

The date of 6 Mar 1763 is given for Abigail's death in some genealogies, but according to Jane Fletcher Fiske in "The Abigail Connection," that date of death belongs to another Abigail who married John Carr.

Note for: William Gardner, 1671 - 14 DEC 1732 Index

Will:
     Date:   12 AUG 1732
     Place:   Proved 12 Feb 1732/33

Individual Notes

Note for: Thomas Arnold, 26 OCT 1740 - 8 MAY 1821 Index

Burial:
     Place:   East Greenwich Cemetery, First Ave., East Greenwich, RI

Individual Note:   According to the book "Descendants of Roger Williams" Book III, Sayles Line, p. 305 - 306, this Thomas Arnold married Frances Haynes. However, the date of death in the book does not agree with the RI Cemetery Database, which gives his date of death as 1821; and his wife is Sarah, not Frances.

The only other possibility is that he married Frances first, and that she died in childbirth, in which case the estimated date of birth for their daughter, Anne, must be two or three years off.
