Julius K. "John Tasso" Remington

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Julius is 6 months old, living at Wallingford, VT, with his parents John & Laura Remington.

His name appears variously in the census records as Julius K., J.T., and John T. He was probably named after his father, John Julius Remington (who arrears in census records as John J.B., John B., & Julius J.).

I am making an assumption that he is the J.T. Remington who married Kate A. Kelsey on 30 September, year unknown. His age and location of residence agrees with the family information.

In May 1880 Julius T. Remington became a partner in the purchase and establishment of the Pioneer Pulp Mill in Wallingford, VT. Later that year the partnership was dissolved.

In 1880, this couple are living at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. In 1900 and 1910 they are at Bennington, Bennington Co., VT.

According to Pat Boyden's genealogy, John's name is John Tasso Remington, and he was born 22 Dec 1849 at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT.

The 1900 census data says he was born in Dec 1849. This agrees with the 1850 census data.

I found an online newspaper image which has a brief entry about this individual, although it calls him T. J. Remington of Bennington, VT. From The Evening News, Ada, OK, 16 & 20 Feb 1904: "T. J. Remington of Bennington, VT, is the owner of a handkerchief which his greatuncle, Jerameel Doty, carried when the latter was a soldier in the revolution and later in the the war of 1812. It was used at one time by the soldier to bind up his own wounds." According to my data Jorathmiel Doty was his great-grandfather, although I do not have proof of this.

(?In 1850 his name appears to be "Passo." One genealogy has his name as Tasso.)

"The Congregational Church of Ludlow is significant as possibly the only example of an intact authentic Shingle Style church in Vermont. It was constructed in 1891-92, and retains its historic integrity . . . The church was completed in April 1892 at a total cost of $10,918, including furnishings. J.T. Remington of Wallingford, Vermont, was the construction foreman."

Julius married Kathryn "Kate" A. Kelsey 30 Sep 1873, Salisbury, Addison Co., VT. Kathryn was born Sep 1851, VT; died 20 Feb 1934, Brattleboro, Windham Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

According to a genealogy at Rootsweb's Worldconnect, this is John Julius Remington, b.30 Nov 1822 at Wallingford, VT. This differs slightly from his age of 25 in the 1850 census, which suggests he was born c1825. However, he is listed a second time in the 1850 census, and that time his age is 28.

In the 1850 Federal Census, John J. B. Remington and his wife Laura are living at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT, with their son Passo, 7 months old. Also in the household is John's sister, Sylvia, age 18. They are living nearby other family members, such as Rufus, Amos, and their parents Rufus, Sr., & Rebecca.

In 1850, John & Laura Remington are listed a second time in Wallingford: John age 28, Laura age 28, and John 6 months. On this census page they are living near two Edgerton families, probably relatives of Laura. Nearby are Rufus & Rebecca, and Amos and family.

In 1860 they are still at Wallingford. John J. & Laura E. Remington are ages 36 & 38, and have two sons: Julius K, 10, and Oscar E., 4. They are next to Rufus & Rebecca Remington, ages 65 & 63.

John & Laura are at Wallingford in 1870 with their two sons.

In 1880 John B. & Laura Remington are both age 58, still living at Wallingford, VT. In the household is John's mother, Rebecca, age 84, and a daughter-in-law, Ellen Remington, 20 (Oscar's widow).

In 1900 Julius J. Remington is age 74 and still living at Wallingford, VT. He is a widower, and a stone mason.

John married Laura E. Edgerton 20 Mar 1850, Union Church, South Wallingford, VT. Laura (daughter of Jonathan Edgerton and Phoebe Sayles) was born 17 May 1821, Lincoln, VT; died 14 Oct 1895. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

One genealogy has her middle initial as A, and her birthdate as 17 March 1821.

Notes:

Rufus's gravestone give his years as 1792-1866.

The 1830 Federal Census shows Rufus Remington at Rodman, Jefferson Co., NY. The household consists of: 1 male <5, 3 males 5<10, 1 male 10<15, 1 male 30<40, 1 female <5, and 1 female 30<40.

The 1840 Federal Census at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT, lists Rufus Remmington Jr., Truman Remmington, Rufus Remmington, and Jonathan Remmington (age 20-30 OR age 60-70?) these last two listed and probably living next to each other. Is this Jonathan Rufus's son, and if so, who are the older individuals with him?

Amos Gorton, husband of Rhoda Remington, is also listed with the above Remingtons.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Rufus & Rebecca are both listed as age 60, living at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT, near Amos, Rufus Jr., and John J. B. Remington and their families. In the household is Rebecca, age 10. I am assuming she is their youngest.

In the Federal Census of 1860, Rufus & Rebecca, ages 65 & 63, are still at Wallingford. Next to them are John J. Remington and family.

Including Rufus in this family group as a son of Jonathan & Martha needs confirmation. I obtained this connection from Rootsweb's Worldconnect and other genealogies which have been sent to me. Information from subsequent generations was obtained from census data.

The 1850 census at Wallingford lists several other young adult Remingtons who may be children of this family: Octavia 22 (1828), Prudence and Amy 18 (1832), and Thankful 16 (1834).

Rufus married Rebecca Doty Abt 1814. Rebecca (daughter of Jorathmiel Doty and Sarah Look) was born 2 Sep 1796, Rochester, Plymouth Co., MA; died 27 Nov 1889, Wallingford, Rutland, VT; was buried , Doty Cemetery, South Wallingford, VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1870 Federal Census, R. Remington (female age 74) is living at Tinmouth, Rutland Co., VT, with Ezekiel & Filena Hill and their daughter Laura. I am assuming that Filena is Rebecca's daughter.

Pat Boyden's Remington genealogy says Rebecca died 27 Nov 1888. I have not verified her date of death.

War of 1812, Rebecca's pension no. 6521.

Jonathan — Phoebe Sayles. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Jonathan served in the Revolution from MA & VT. He enlisted at Cummington, MA.

His marriage to Martha was obtained from Rootsweb's Worldconnect, so needs verification to determine that it is the same Jonathan Remington. That genealogy lists 11 children for this couple. Other family notes I have seen agree.

I could not find his birth record at Abington, but Lois Remington Smith lists Jonathan with the children of Joshua & Ruth.

However, some genealogies have this Jonathan as a son of Thomas Remington b 1726 and his wife Rachel Stowell.

Also, others show his birthplace as Cummington, Hampshire Co., MA, and his death as c 1840 at Wallingford, VT.

The Federal Census of 1830 at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT lists a Jonathan Rimmington and a Jonathan Rimmington Jr. The household of the former includes 1 male age 70<80, 1 female 50>60; and three other females -- 1-40<50, 1-10<15, & 1-15<20.

In 1833 when he appeared for his pension hearing, he said he had lived in Wallingford for 51 years (since 1782).

The last pension payment was made 12 Sep 1834 (to his wife?).

Jonathan married Martha Sprague Abt 1786. Martha (daughter of Joseph Sprague and Mary Thompson) was born Abt 1765, Danby, Rutland, VT; died Abt Sep 1834. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

According to the gravestone, "Jerahmeel Doty" died at age 93 (from photo on website of Norman Charles Hill). He was in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.

He appears to be age 86 in the 1850 census (Jerathmun Doty).

Jorathmiel — Sarah Look. Sarah was born 1761, Rochester, Plymouth Co., MA; died 6 Aug 1842, Wallingford, VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Sarah died at age 81.
