    Notes:

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Aaron and his family are living in Savoy, Berkshire, MA. With them is his elderly father, Benjamin. Brother James is next door with his family. Also nearby in the same town is (probable) brother Benjamin and his family. Another neighboring family is that of Amos Deming, possibly related to Laura.

    Aaron was appointed guardian for the orphaned children of his brother Reuben.

    Aaron and his two eldest sons served as deacons at the Baptist Church in Savoy. His brother-in-law, Deacon Amos Deming, served as pastor for 14 years (for more information on this family group, see "A Remington Family History" compiled by Lois Remington Smith).

    According to the death record, Deacon Aaron Remington died at age 63 of typhoid fever. His father died later that year at age 94. Their death records are on the same page of the Savoy, MA, death book.

    Notes:

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Benjamin is age 88 and living with his son Aaron and family in Savoy, Berkshire, MA. Next door is his son James and family. (Probable) son Benjamin and his family are nearby, too.

    According to Boyd Scott Remington's chart, Ben's parents lived in Cummington, MA. That is why I think his wife is Sarah Seamans, based on the marriage data. Otherwise, she married a different Benj. Remington.

    The death record at Savoy, MA, says Mr. Benjamin Remington died of old age at 94y 4m 9d.

    Benjamin married Sarah "Sally" Seamans 14 Feb 1793, Adams, MA. Sarah (daughter of Aaron Seamans and Lillis Unknown) was born 25 Feb 1766, Rehoboth, MA; died 29 Dec 1827. [Group Sheet]

    Sarah may have been born in Rehoboth, MA (?). At the time of her marriage, she was of Adams, MA.

    The marriage intention spells her maiden name as Symonds.

    Notes:

    The marriage intention was dated 29 Nov 1792. The original marriage is at Adams, but it was also recorded at Cummington, MA.

    Notes:

    (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein. Some of the information on this family came from Lois Remington Smith in "A Remington Family History.")

    Joshua Remington, Sr. was a soldier in the Revolutionary War.

    The family moved from Abington, MA, to Cummington, MA, sometime between 1772 and 1776. Joshua's three lots in northwest Cummington are in the area known as Remington's Hill (also called Bryant Mt., after the poet William Cullen Bryant who was born in Cummington).

    In 1780 there was a controversy concerning Joshua Remington in the local church, in which his name appears in the church records quite a bit. Among other accusations was that he was causing schisms in the church by his charges against the pastor.

    Joshua and family are in the 1800 census, but not the 1810. His son Benjamin was appointed Administrator of Joshua's estate on 15 Oct 1811 (Probate records of Northampton, Hampshire Co., MA).

    Lois Remington Smith has noted his date of death as Sep 1811.
