Christian Remick- The First Three Generations in America

Generation No. 1

1. CHRISTIAN¹ REMICK was born Abt. 1631 in ?, and died Aft. May 12, 1718 in Kittery, York, Maine. He married HANNAH Abt. 1655 in Kittery, York, Maine.

Notes for CHRISTIAN REMICK:
       Christian Remick's approximate date of birth arrived at from the following record:
              4 Jan 1698-99, "The Deposition of Christian Remich aged 67 years of thereabouts Testifieth.... that he well knew Dennis Downing now Deceased Lived on the farm....which his son Joshua Downing now Posseseth and that...Dennis Downing Possessed it in year fifty one...he being a near neighbor to said Downing...." [York Deeds, 4:f.151.]
       Christian's first grant of land occurred in 1651, and before 17 July 1661, when he had 20 acres granted him by Kittery, he had received 52 acres on which he built his homestead. His name appears on a list of freemen of Kittery, 16 Nov 1652, and when Kittery acknowledged herself under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, 18 May 1653, one of the signers was "Christian Remech". His signature again appears on a Kittery reminstrance dated 20 Dec 1652, and on a Maine petition, date unknown, but probably about 1669.
       Christian served as selectman of Kittery from 1670 to 1673, in 1676, and in 1688. He was one of a special committee appointed to instruct Kittery's Deputy to the General Court of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay in 1673, and the Representative to the General Court of the Province of Massachusetts in 1692.
       The last mention of Christian Remick alive was in a deposition dated 12 May 1718.

Notes for HANNAH:
Hannah may have been a widow (Thompson) at the time of her marriage to Christian, and may have been born a Foster.
