From "BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES, Town of Genesee":
JOHN REMINGTON, retired farmer; born in Rupert, Vt., in 1805; he left his native state when 13 years of age, and located in western New York; when the Erie Canal was building, he helped dig stumps and do grading, in what is now the heart of the city of Rochester, being one of a few living men engaged in this work. He married Miss Lucinda Marble, of Casenovia, Oneida Co., N. Y., they coming to Genesee and settling on a wild farm in 1842; began a poor man and disposed of a small stock of cloth and leather as best he might, to settlers as poor as himself; Mr. and Mrs. Remington kept open house for travelers in early days, and mainly a night their floor would be covered with the prostrate forms of sleeping frontiersmen. In his house the first Methodist Episcopal sermon was preached, by the Rev. Mr. Moulthrop, in the fall of 1842, the first prayer meeting having been held there that summer; Mr. Remington was also a pioneer merchant, and relates that he met with business reverses, his store having been broken into and robbed one night, about thirty years ago, by a band of (supposed) Mormons. In 1859 he built, and placed his son in charge of a warehouse and store in North Prairie; sold out his business here, and in 1870, sold his farm; built, and for three years lived in, a new house in Genesee village; removed again to a farm, which he exchanged with Thomas Sugden, thus obtaining the building where he now lives.

Notes:

Thomas and his family must have lived in Vermont for a while, because his son Silas was born at Rupert, VT, in 1792, according to Boyd Scott Remington's chart. Also, the 1860 census shows Thomas's birthplace as VT. The 1790 census lists Thomas Remington at Rupert (indexed at Ancestry.com as Bennington); the 1800 census shows Thomas & Silas "Remmington" at Rupert. They are the only Remington families there at the time. My assumption is that the Silas on the census is Thomas's brother, b. 1776.

The following notes are from "Reunion of Descendants of Alvah Remington, 1797-1888" at Online Collections at BYU:

Thomas & Olive moved to Rupert, VT, in 1787. Thomas was Selectman, Captain of the Militia, and a prominent resident of Rupert for twenty-five years.

Thomas married Olive Nelson 13 Mar 1788, Suffield, Hartford Co., CT. Olive (daughter of William Nelson and Mary Carpenter) was born 30 May 1767, Lyme, NH; died 15 Apr 1844, NY; was buried , Riverview Cemetery, Henrietta, NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Boyd Scott Remington's Remington Ancestry Chart at RIHSL has Daniel's date of birth as 18 Feb 1706.

The Suffield records show a birth to a son of Daniell & Sarah Remington: Abijah, who died at about 14 months on 8 July, no year given.

He may be the Daniel Remington of Suffield who later married Mrs. Susannah Bush, widow, in 1770, as her fourth husband.

Daniel married Sarah Winchell 7 Jan 1730/31, Suffield, Hartford County, CT. Sarah (daughter of Jonathan Winchell and Sarah Hovey) was born 14 Oct 1711; died Aft 1747. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I am assuming that the Stephen in the DAR Patriot Index, married to Sarah Barbow, is this same Stephen. He is the only one I have found thus far for this time and place.

BSRs chart says he was born 3 Jan.

Stephen married Sarah Barlow Abt 26 Apr 1735. Sarah (daughter of James Barlow and Mary Harmon) was born 14 Jan 1716/17, Suffield, Hartford County, CT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Her maiden was Barlow or Barbow.
