In the 1860 Federal Census, C. H. Remington is age 3, living with his parents and brothers at Thomas, GA.

In 1870 Charles Remington is age 13, living with his two brothers at Valdosta, Lowndes Co., GA, in the home of William & Frances Sharp, next door to his maternal grandparents.

In 1875 he is living in Providence, RI, with his mother and two brothers, near Albert F. Remington & William H. Remington and their families.

In 1880 C. H. Remington is age 24, and living in Quitman, Brooks Co., GA. He is a hotel keeper. With him are his mother and his brother, H. S. Also in town is his brother Simeon and his wife.

In the 1900 Federal Census, Charles H. Remington is age 43 GA, still living at Quitman, Brooks Co., GA. His wife is Sallie F. Remington, 36 VA. They have two children: Henry T. 18, & Charles H. 7, both b GA. Also in the household are Ellen P. Remington, widow 65 GA -- Charles's mother; and two nephews: Charles A. Remington 19 GA, & Simeon S. Remington 17 GA. I am making an assumption that these two young men are sons of Charles's brother Simeon. This is a reasonable assumption because Simeon was married and living in Quitman in 1880.

Charles's middle name as Henry came from a letter written by Lottie Remington (wife of Hinton) dated 5 Dec 1971.

According to handwritten notes sent to me by Dorothy Remington Cuthbert, Charles was born in 1815.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Charles H. Remington, age 28, b. RI, is living at Thomas, GA. This would place his birth year as c1822. His profession is given as Artist.

Also listed in this census as living in Thomas, GA, are the following Remingtons: Edward, 34 RI, who I believe to be Charles's first cousin; Edward's wife Mary (Smith), 46 RI; Francis, 23, their son; Ann, 18 GA, Francis's wife (her age is about three years off); their infant daughter Mary, 4 months; and lastly Edward 9, and Mary 13, children of Edward & Mary (Smith) Remington, and thus siblings of Francis. (see Georgia Genweb site for this 1850 census data)

In 1860 Charles is age 40, which would place his birth year as c1820. The 1860 Federal Census at Thomas, GA, lists Ch. H. Remington, 40 RI, artist; Ellen P. Remington, 22 GA; S. A. Remington, 4 GA; C. H. Remington, 3 GA; H. S. Remington, 6/12 GA; and A. F. Remington, 17 RI. I believe A. F. is Albert F. Remington, Charles's nephew, son of Benjamin. (Charles's wife and sons are living near Albert and his family in a later census -- 1875 -- in Providence, RI.)

I am guessing that Ch. H. Remington may have died before the 1870 census, when his sons are living with relatives of his wife Ellen.

From "Ante-bellum Thomas County 1825 - 1861" by William Warren Rogers, Chapter II, Town Life, pp. 14, 15, & 20: "The general economic trend in Thomas County was favorable, and Thomasville shared in the prosperity of the 1850s. Circumstances were so promising that Charles H. Remington, Jared Everett, and Freeman W. Johnson received a charter for the Thomasville Loan and Building Association in February, 1854 . . . Charles H. Remington was a man of several interests. He operated a gallery, painted signs, sold and hung wall paper, and opened a photographic studio in the 1850s. Not satisfied, he soon branched off into the insurance business and joined Isaiah Dekle in opening a furniture store." (this county history was originally published as Florida State University Studies, Number 39, Tallahasee, 1963)

Remington's Photographic Gallery was opposite the Post Office in Thomasville.

Found on web site [http://www.daguerreotype.com/]:
Remington, Charles H. - Believed to be the only professional daguerreotypist on the judicial bench in the U.S., Judge Charles H. Remington was active in Thomaston, Ga. from 1854 to 1856. Elsewhere the location was noted as Thomasville, Ga. (Information corrected to November, 1997;

Charles married Ellen Perry Sharpe 29 Jan 1854, GA. Ellen (daughter of Hamilton Wynn Sharpe and Jane Perry) was born Between 1836 and 1838, GA; died 1923. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

According to the 1860 census, she would have been born c1838. (see notes for her husband Charles)

"In 1863, a Savannah editor thanked Thomasville's Mrs. Charles Remington for sending a 'bountiful supply of pepper and sage for the use of hospitals.' " (Savannah Republican, 12 Sept 1863, quoted in "Thomas County During the Civil War," by William Rogers)

In the 1875 Rhode Island Census, Ellen P. Remington is age 38, living in Providence, RI. Her three sons are with her: Simeon H. 20, Charles H. 18, & Hamilton S. 15. They are living near Albert F. Remington and his family, and William H. Remington and his family, brothers and sons of Benjamin & Matilda (Spink) Remington.

In 1880 E. P. Remington is age 42 and living at Quitman, Brooks Co., GA, with her son C.H. (Charles, Jr.), who keeps a hotel there. Her son Hamilton is also with them, and Simeon is nearby in town with his wife. They are next door to Ellen's sister Jane P. Joiner and her family. Jane & Ellen's parents, Hamilton & Jane Sharpe, are also living in town.

In1900 she is living with son Charles and several other family members at Quitman, GA; by 1910 Charles has (probably) died so she is with son Hamilton and his family at Columbus, Muscogee Co., GA.
