married Margaret Haiton on 25 January 1620/1 at Kirk Ella. Their eldest child,
Ruth, was baptized at Kirk Ella on 14 March 1621/2. The Acies evidently moved

Maria [17 January 1624/5], Abigail [13 March 1627/8], Elizabeth [22 March 1632] and John [12 March 1642/3].
Ezekiel Rogers persuaded 20 families from towns near his home church at Rowley, Yorkshire to leave East Riding for the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1638. The families resided within 15 miles of Rowley. Among these families was that of William Acie, Jr., his wife Margaret, and five children. The Rogers Company left England on the John of London for Salem, Massachusetts after the land for their settlement was granted on 13 March 1638. The development of the new town of Rowley, nestled between Ipswich and Newbury, began in April of 1639. The Rowley Church was established on 3 December 1639.
William had a two acre town lot bounded on the north and east by the street. He was made a freeman in 1643 and held several town offices over the years. Acie made his will on 22 April 1689 and it was proved on 30 September 1690. Margaret preceded him in death, having been buried at Rowley on 12 February 1674/5.

Fourth Generation
4. Abigail Acie \ Acey1,3,5–6 (William-3,
William-2, Peter-1) was born in 1627/8 in Cottingham, Yorkshire, England.1–2 She was baptized on 13 Mar
1627/8 in Cottingham, Yorkshire, England.2 She died about 1710 at the age
of 82 in Warwick, Kent Co., Rhode Island.6
Abigail was also known as Abigail Remington.6
Abigail Acie \ Acey and John
Remington were married about 1649 in Rowley, Essex Co., Massachusetts.3 John Remington3–4,6–9, son of John
Remington and Elizabeth [Remington], was born about 1630/1 in Lockington,
Yorkshire, England.4,6,10 He died on 13 Aug 1709 at the
age of 78 in Warwick, Kent Co., Rhode Island.3
John Remington, eldest son of John and Elizabeth, was born about 1630/31. [Boyd
Scott Remington gives his birth as 1633 at Rowley, Yorkshire, England. Beaman
gives his birth as 1625.] John grew up
in Newbury and Rowley. John, Jr. married Abigail Acie at Rowley in 1649. The
Remingtons moved to Andover in 1654 and then to Haverhill in 1661. By about
1664 John had relocated to Jamestown, Rhode Island and to Portsmouth in 1669.
He was listed in a 1652 deed as a carpenter and was paid for teaching school in
1656.
John Remington, John Holmes, and Michael Kelly were named Conservators of the Peace on 28 August 1669. They were ordered to assemble the inhabitants of Conanicut Island [Jamestown] to make plans for the defense of the community against any possible Indian attacks. In a deed dated 2 June 1670, John Remington "of the Island of Quanonagutt [Conanicut] in the colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations" transferred a parcel of land in Rowley to Anthony Crosby. On 31 October 1677, John Remington was among the 48 [or 50] settlers who were granted 5000 acres in East Greenwich. The tract was to be divided into 100 acre lots as a reward for services rendered by those men who rendered service during King Philip's War.
Remington was taxed 6s. 8d. on 6 September 1687 in Rochester [North Kingstown], Rhode Island. Shortly thereafter the family moved to Warwick. On 13 August 1709 he confirmed a deed dated 24 May 1695 in which he had given son Thomas of Warwick a house and town lot at Haverhill containing four acres, two orchards, and 40 acres called "Fishing Rivers." John Remington, Jr. died later that year.
The move to Warwick may have been motivated by an affiliation with the beliefs of Samuel Gorton and his followers. The "Gortonites" were subject to much hostility from neighboring towns and even the Mohegan Indians. A move to Warwick without ties to the Gortonites would have been risky, at best. Two of John Remington's grandsons, Thomas William and Daniel married Gorton women.
Boyer's Ancestral Lines [p. 494] shows a 2nd wife, Martha _________, for John Remington. If this is the case, then the death date for Abigail [Acie] Remington is in error.
