Notes - Christian Remick, born in 1631, either in England or Holland, made his way to the American colonies, arriving in Maine around 1651 or 1652. Settling in Kittery, he quickly established himself as a vital member of the community. His skills as a planter and surveyor were in high demand in the growing settlement.
In 1655, Christian married Hannah Foster, (note that this is not the daughter of Andrew Foster and Ann Alcock as many family trees show her). At the time of her marriage, it is possible that she was Widow Thompson. Christian and Hannah had a large family, including children named Hannah, Mary, Jacob, Sarah, Isaac, Abraham, Martha, Joshua, Lydia, and another Sarah, all born in Kittery.
Christian's civic engagement was notable. He signed the submission to Massachusetts in 1652, marking Kittery's acknowledgment of Massachusetts' jurisdiction. He served multiple terms as a selectman between 1670 and 1688, a role that involved overseeing town affairs and representing the community's interests. In 1692, he also served as a representative to the General Court of the Province of Massachusetts.
Christian's contributions to Kittery extended beyond governance. He was a landowner, with records showing he received several grants, including a 52-acre plot where he built his homestead. His role as a surveyor was crucial in a time when land management and development were key to the town's growth.
Christian Remick's life in Kittery was that of a respected and integral member of the community. His work, both in his professional capacity and as a town official, played a significant role in the early development of Kittery. He passed away after May 12, 1718, leaving behind a legacy marked by his contributions to the early American colonial life.
