The only other Remick I could find in the vicinity of Lincoln County, Maine, in the 1700s was William Remick who married Elizabeth Austin. He was born about 1763. He married in Topsham or Lewiston in 1789, and lived at Wales, Industry and Brunswick. No record of military service can be found.

It is interesting to note that some suggest that William Remick was an Indian:
http://boards.ancestry.com/thread.aspx?mv=flat&m=56&p=surnames.remick
Posts about William Remick being Indian.

http://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/remick/147/
Quite a long post suggesting William being Indian

Perhaps this is why his ancestry is so opaque. That being said, perhaps Lydia Remick is closely related to William Remick. Thus her own murky origins could be explained in the same way. All that being said, I see no evidence that these Remicks are in fact Indians.
