Six years later the son, Horatio A., left home to learn the machinist's trade. After working at his trade for about 17 years, he in 1866 became junior partner with S.

This marriage is not in the RI Marriage Index, so possibly they were married in another state.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Henry A., 46, & Sally A., 47, are living in Warwick, RI. Their children in the home are: Charles, 24, a clerk; William A., 23, a miner; Horatio A., 21, a machinist; Henry A., 16; Sarah A., 12; and Phebe A., 10.

(needs research) In a deed dated 13 Nov 1853 at Warwick, William A. Remington was said to be "of Marietta in the State of Georgia."

Henry's death record identifies him as "son of Charles."
