with Jonathan Remington formerly of
Warwick in said State of Rhode Island but
at the time of her said marriage he resided
at Lansingburgh in the State of New York
that the said Jonathan was a soldier of the
Revolution, that he enlisted & served in a
Rhode Island Regiment of State Troops, a Regiment of Artillery commanded by Col Robert Elliott in the years 1778 & 1779 she believes in
the capacity of a Non [illegible] officer
but is not certain, Nor does she remember
the name of the Captain but thinks it
might have been Haynes or Sawyer,
he served about two years - and
she further declares that her said husband
the said Jonathan departed this life on the
31st day of May AD 1808, that she then
lived a widow about three years when
she married Edward Greene in the year
1811, and declares that she lived with the said Edward as his wife until he departed this
life in the year 1824 and since the death of said Edward she has lived a widow.

I Seth Burke of Warwick in the county of Kent and state of Rhode Island in the eighty sixth year of my age do testify and say that I was formerly well acquainted with John Remington and Jonathan Remington formerly of said Warwick during the war of the revolution. They were brothers and neighbors to me and I have a distinct recollection that they were both soldiers in the revolution.

In my twenty second year I went to sea in a vessel of which said John Remington w as mater and I remember hearing him speak of being in captain Garzia's company if artillery.

I recollect of hearing him tell a story about a British frigate or Sloop of war coming near where he was stationed and captain Garzia with his guns and company went towards the shore covering themselves with the haystack and fired upon the ship according to my best recollection Jonathan Remington was in the same company the said Jonathan afterward married a potter of cranston

I Marcy Aborn of Pawtuxet Cranston in the county of Providence and the state of Rhode Island on oath do testify and say

That I am now in the 82nd (eighty second) of my age and was born in the village of Pawtuxet.  I have a distinct recollection that during the war of the revolution a great many troops were stationed in that village.  Among the troops stationed here there as a part of a regiment of artillery to which John Remington and Jonathan Remington two brothers belonged.  John was a lieutenant and Jonathan was a sergeant 

I do not remember the name of the captain.  I recalled of hearing the came of captain Carlisle and also of captain Garzia - mentioned - and according to the best of my recollection colonel Elliott was their colonel.

The reason why I recollect John and Jonathan Remington being here with the troops is that they were in the habit of visiting the home of grand mother where I used to often see them and they used to talk to me.
Page 10

I was their a child about 10 years of age between 9 and 10.  My grand-mothers husband was their uncle.

And I further testify the said Jonathan Reminfom afterwards married to the widow Potter.  After his death she married a Mr. Greene.  Edward Greene and is now his widow and living in the town of Cranston in this state.

I cannot remember how long the said artillery were stationed here but was sometime.

I have in my possession an authentic copy made in 1792 of the names of the officers and soldiers who served in said brigade from [crossed out March 16] December 16 1776 to March 1780 which was made from the master rolls of said brigade by order of the legislature in 1785 to ascertain the amount of [depreciation?] of wages due to them. - 

On this list I find the name of Jonathan Remington in Col Elliotts regiment with the sum of [footsie] 39.8.11 [check over the 8, curve over the 11] (131 dol 49 ct) attached to it.

The lost does not specify the time of service but from the amount I think he must have served from June 1777 to March 1779.

I had no personal knowledge of said Remington during the time of service.

Sir
I herewith enclose further evidence in the claim
of Sarah Greene formerly widow of Jonathan Remington for a pension which I pray may be filed with the the evidence forwarded with the claimants Supplemental declaration, John Williams whose affidavit I now enclose served with "Sergeant Remington" & he thinks his Christian name was Jonathan and stationed at Pawtuxet, in Capt Carliles company
Samuel Snow Capt Lieutenant. This witness
is now probally, the only soldier now living in
R Island, who belonged to Elliotts regiment
of Artillery, This testimony confirms & corroborates the evidence of Marcy above of Pawtuxet, who was well acquainted with Jonathan & John Remington
(brothers) both stationed there at same time, Altho perhaps in different companies - She frequently saw them at her grandfathers, who was their Uncle and the amount of depreciation found due him $39.8.11 Shews that he must have served from June 77 to March 79 as testified by William Wilkinson and if so under two enlistments, and as I observed in my letter, sent a short time since with supplemental declaration & further proof (to which I refer again) he must have served one under left Carlile & the other in Capt Garzias, as testified by Randall Carder & Seth Burke. These wold not have been
Page 27

so much depreciation found due him under
one enlistment, and the archives of this
State show these enlistments to have taken
place in the manner I have stated in above
letter
In few cases, I will venture to say, has
Revolutionary service in more amply
found, or the identity of claimants
husband with the soldier whose is
on the Rolls, than in this case.
I do expect therefore, her claim will be
allowed without further delay
[illegible]

Providence April 23d 1851
Sir
In answer to your letter of the 7 inst, with
respect to the claim of Sarah Greene formerly
the widow of Jonathan Remington, for a
pension I herewith enclose a supplemental
declaration & further evidence. You observe
or rather I infer from your letter that his
name is not on the roll of Capt Garzias
Company in Elliotts regiment of Artillery -
I would enquire if you have the company
rolls of that regiment from December 16, 1776
to March 16 1780 This regiment as shown by
the archives of this State, was first raised
for fifteen months from Dec 16/76 to March
16/78 & then raised a second time for
12 months ending March 16 1779 & then
a third time from March 16/79 to
March 16/80 - Under each enlistment
these were different arrangements of the
Officers and the rank & file in the several
companies were wholly different under
each enlistment. Unless therefore you have
the company rolls under each enlistment,
your rolls are by no means conclusive.
It was often the case in this as well as
the other regiments of the R I Brigade
Page 29

raised at the same time, that the men who
served one enlistment under one Captain
served the next in a different company & 
under another Captain. This part is shown in 
a great many cases on file in your
office - Whether you have the Company rolls 
complete under all the enlistments
I do not know but unless you have they are
not conclusive. That Jonathan
Remington served in Col Elliotts regiment
there can be no earthly doubt. That this
same man was Sarah Greens former
husband there can be as little doubt, if
identity can be shown by disintested and
reputable witnesses, and I would respectfully
if this womans claim is to be denied
because after a lapse of sixty years she
cannot remember her husbands Captain,
The companies belonging to Elliotts regiment
were stationed at different places Capt
Garzias Company was stationed at "old
Warwick" and Capt Carliles, at Pawtuxet
My belief is Jonathan Remington served
in both under different enlistments
and my belief is grounded upon the testimony
of the witnesses I refer particularly to the
affidavits of Mercy Aborn Seth Back & 
Randall Carder. The affidavit of
William Wilkinson was not taken to
Page 30

prove identity but to shew from the old
Roll in his possession the time Jonathan
Remington, whose name is on it, must have
served. This he has done and the other
witnesses prove identity
The "negative" Certificate of the Secretary of this State I sent at your request. I have known
the fact for fifteen years part, that there
were no rolls of the rank & file of this
regiment in his office. The only correct
roll is that in the hands of the Wilkinson & 
from the amount of depreciation, Mr
Wilkinson has shown the length of Remingtons
service.
I will add another reason why I believe Jonathan Remington was in Capt Carliles Co. His brother was appointed a Liunt in that Co in March 1778 and it is but reasonable to suppose that Jonathan would like to be in same Company, John was also appointed a Lieut under first enlistment
in Capts Westcotts Co as appears from the Archives
But in whatever Company Jonathan served it is
morally certain he served in Elliotts
regiment I have therefore a reasonable expectation that that this widows claim may be allowed
I am respectfully

Providence Dec 17th 1850
Sir
I received yours of 16 inst supporting the
claim of Sarah Greene formerly widow of
Jonathan Remington a soldier of Col Elliotts
regiment in the war of the Revolution-
As you directed I applied to the Secretary
State & his certificate is herewith enclosed
There appears to be no Roll of that regiment
on file in his office. This regiment served
3 years & 3 months under these several
enlistments & it is probable the men served
under different officers in each enlistment
Jonathan Remington might have served in
Capt Garzas Company under another enlistment than that shown in the Pension office, But whether he served in that company or in another it is certain he served in that regiment
The witness Wm Wilkinson testifies his name
is on a very old & correct Roll in his hands &
from the amount of depreciation must
have served from June 1777 to March
1779. & his identity is conclusively proved
by the testimony of Mercy Aborn, who
know him & his brother John perfectly
well when that regiment was stationed
Page 32

at Patuxet or a part of it, that she used
frequently to see them at her Grandfathers
who was their uncle & that John was
Liut & Jonathan a Sergeant, & that
Jonathan was the former husband of Sarah
Greene. His identity is also proved by
other testimony. It is possible the claimant
might have mistaken the name of the
Captain, but it is impossible to doubt, it appears to me, her husbands service in that regiment.
Nor was the claimant her supportive that her 
husband did serve in Garsias Co. It is possible
he served in Capt Thomas Carliles Co, as
that company, also belonging to Elliotts regiment was stationed at Patuxet at that time-
Local history informs us that the whole of this
regiment was never stationed at one place
at the same time. Some portion was stationed
at Patuxet, some at Warwick neck & 
some at East Greenwich - But the
Remingtons were in that [illegible] stationed
at Patuxet.
Hoping the testimony will be satisfactory
I am
very Respectfully

County of Providence

On the 21st day of April AD 1851 personally appeared before the undersigned a justice of the peace in said county .  Sarah Greenewho makes this supplemental declaration in order to obtain a pension for the services of her for-mer husband the late Jonathan Remington in Col Elliott's regiment of artillery of Rhode Island troops during the war of the revolu-tion. She declares and says that she did not intend, in her first declaration to assert positively that her said husband served in capt garzia's company. Nor can she assert with certainty in whos company he served, after a lapse of nearly sixty years since her marriage.

But she does assert that her said husband did serve in col Elliott's regi-ment & his service is identified by the tes-timony as the service of her husband the said Jonathan.  There are some circumstan-ces however which might lead her to be-lieve ger said husband served in capt Carlile's company, as that company was stationed at Pawtuxet during the time her husband was there & belonged to the artillery and again she has been informed her hus-
Page 44

bands brother John Remington was a lieutenant in capt carlile's company & it may be her husband was in the same company or ^else in capt wescott's company in which said John Remington was a lieutenant at another time.

Be that as it may she asserts her husband's service was in said regiment of artillery & she has specified the names of the offi-cers according to the best of her recollection & belief & the claims the pension which is justly her due.

I Randall Carder of Warwick County of Kent State of Rhode Island aged 79 and upwards do testify and say that I was well acquainted with Jonathan Remington, the former husband of Sarah Green who now resides in Cranston near the village of Pawtuxet.  I also knew his brother John Remington.

I have a distinct recollection when I was a boy seven or eight years old that said Jonathan and John where in ^the military service of the Rhode Island state troops.  

I used to see them both when they where in service.  I have a recollection that captain [Garsee's? ] company of artillery was stationed at old warwick and my impression is  that they both belong to that company.  John wasan office my impression that this was the year seventeen hundred and seventy nine.

I think so from the circumstances that I was about eight years old.  I also recollect that the next year after the capture of Burgoyne a [fusage?] master came to my father and took a stack of hay and I remember he said he rode a horse which he said belonged to Burgoyne's army.

I recollect he said he wanted it for the horses of pawtuxet where the troops where stationed and where a part of col elliots regiment was stationed and where col jacksons regiment was also stationed.

I do not remember capt [struck our carlyle] Thomas Carlyle but it is probable his company was stationed there at the same time as a part of col elliots regiment

It is my impression that Jonathan and John Remington Brothers where in service a considerable time after the war when I was grown up I used to trade with the said Jonathan he was then in Providence, and
from Providence I believe he removed up into New York State
