Frank C. Remington

Notes:

In the 1860 Federal Census, George is age 10 and living with his grandparents in Meriden, New Haven Co., CT. In 1880 he appears to be the George Remington living in Meriden next to Henry E. Remington, most likely his uncle. The census data says his father was born in RI and his mother in CT.

The 1860 Federal Census shows George living with both Hiram Remington and Oliver & Vincy. So, either there are two Georges about the same age, or -- the same George was counted twice in the census.

George married Marietta "Etta" Hall 15 Aug 1872, Wallingford, New Haven Co., CT. Marietta was born Abt 1848, CT; died Aft 1 Jun 1900. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the Federal Census of 1860, the family is at New Haven, CT: Hiram 37, Harriett 34, Geo H. 10, Julia R. 8, Chas D. 3, and Infant (F) 1 mo.

In the Federal Census of 1870, Hiram, Harriet, and four of their children are living at Meridan, New Haven Co., CT.

There is a question as to the actual parentage of Hiram, as he was born over three years before the date of his parents' marriage, when Oliver would have been 15 years old. Kay Larsen suggests that Hiram may have been a son of a relative of Vincy's, or possibly an illegitimate child of Vincy, or even of Oliver & Vincy. The town register lists Oliver and Vincy as the parents of Hiram; however, this does not preclude that he may have been adopted.

Hiram married Harriet Roberts 2 Aug 1847, Meriden, New Haven Co., CT. Harriet (daughter of Asa Roberts and Patience Penfield) was born Abt Aug 1826, Middletown, Middlesex Co., CT; died 29 Sep 1891, Meriden, New Haven Co., CT; was buried , New Highland Cemetery, Middletown, CT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Oliver 42, and Vincy 49, are living with five of their children at Meriden, New Haven Co., CT. In 1860 they are still there, with four children in the household.

In the 1880 Federal Census, Oliver & his wife Olive are at Meriden, New Haven CT. He is a farm laborer and she is keeping house.

From Kay Larsen, a descendant of Oliver & Vincy: "Oliver and his second wife, Almira, resided for a time in Branford, New Haven Co., CT, and he was still living there when he divorced Almira. At the time of the divorce, she was living in Meriden and apparently remained there until the end of her life. Oliver, at some point, returned to Meriden as he was living there when he married his third wife, Olive, and he shows up in the city directories until the time of his death."

Oliver married Vincy Morse 14 Sep 1826, Meriden, New Haven Co., CT. Vincy (daughter of Jonathan Morse and Thankful Blakeslee) was born 18 Sep 1801, CT or NY; died 20 Feb 1863, CT; was buried , East Cemetery, Meriden, CT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Vincy was of Wallingford, CT, at the time of her marriage. Her surname is sometimes written as Moss, although the spelling on both the marriage record and the tombstone is Morse. It has been supposed that she is a descendant of John Moss, one of the original founders of the New Haven Colony. However, is has not been confirmed. Her death certificate names Cairo, NY, as her birthplace. (source: Kay Larson, a descendant; contact info may be available on request)

The 1860 Federal Census has NY as her state of birth.

Notes:

Oliver and Vincy were married by Rev. Samuel Miller, her uncle by marriage.

Asa — Patience Penfield. Patience died 1842. [Group Sheet]
