Azariah B. Remington

Notes:

I have made an assumption that Azariah is the son of Joel & Armina, because he has a son named Joel, and also because he is living in the same town as Joel in 1870 & 1880. Also, in 1870, Homer E. Remington, age 18, is living with Azariah and family; and in 1860 Homer is with Joel & Armina. Therefore, it is a reasonable assumption (needs research to confirm).

In 1860, A. B. Remington is age 24, a clerk, living with the family of Ira Sayles at Richmond, Chittenden Co., VT.

In 1870, A. B. Remington is age 34, married to Martha M., age 27, and living at Waterbury, Washington Co., VT. They have a son Joel D., 11 months. Also in the household is Homer E. Remington, age 18, probably brother of Azariah.

In 1880 Azariah B. Remington is 44 and his wife Martha M. Remington is 38; their son Joel D. Remington is 11. They are still at Waterbury.

Azariah's (assumed) father Joel and family are living at Waterbury in 1850, 1860, 1870, & 1880.

Azariah — Martha M. Unknown. Martha was born Between 1842 and 1843, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

1. Joel D. Remington was born Abt Jul 1869, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1880.

Notes:

I have placed Joel in this family group based on a Remington genealgoy report from Pat Boyden.

Joel and his family are living at Waterbury, Washington Co., VT., in the 1850, 1860, 1870, & 1880 Federal Censuses.

In 1850 Joel & "Almira" are ages 31 & 32, and have a daughter Elvira, age 11. Also in the household are (presumed) in-laws Lyman & Sarah Hall, ages 67 & 65.

In 1860 Joel & Armina are 42 & 43, and have a son Homer E., age 7.

In 1870 Joel & Armina M. are 52 & 53, and it is noted that Armina is an invalid. Also in the household are Lyman & Sarah Hall, ages 86 & 82.

In 1880 Joel has remarried and has a wife named Rhoda. A stepdaughter, Minnie Rand, age 15, is with them.

One genealogy says he died 25 March 1891 at age 73.

Joel — Armina M. Hall. Armina (daughter of Lyman Hall and Sarah Unknown) was born Between 1817 and 1818, Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT; died 1872, Waterbury, Washington Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

He may be the Jeremiah Remington listed in the 1810 Federal Census at Huntington, Chittenden, VT: 1 FWM<10, 1 FWM 26-44, 1 FWF 26-44; total 3. If correct, this means he must have had a young son at this time.

In the 1830 Federal Census, Jeremiah is age 40 - 50, and his wife is in the same age bracket. In their household are two males 15 - 20 and one male 20 - 30, as well as two females 5 - 10 and two females 15 - 20. If these young people are all his children, he had at least three sons and four daughters. They are living at Huntington, Chittenden, VT. They are still there in 1850, when Jeremiah is age 66 and Mary is 72. Lucinda Remington, age 30, and Joshua Remington, age 90, are in the home, as well as Charles Firman, 30, and Mary Firman, 68.

Gretchen Paulsen has confirmed that Jeremiah died in 1852, as noted on his gravestone.

Janet Muff sent me images of the will and probate documents of Jeremiah Griffiths. As it is unclear when he died, she suggests that it's a possibility that Jeremiah Remington was the biological son of Jeremiah Griffiths. However, this needs more research to confirm.

Jeremiah married Mary Ross Abt 1809. Mary (daughter of Ezekiel Ross and Elizabeth Rounds) was born Abt 1777, RI; died 3 Apr 1853, Huntington, Chittenden, VT; was buried , Huntington Center Cemetery, Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Mary Remington is age 72 in the 1850 Federal Census.

Gretchen Paulsen has provided information from Mary's gravestone that says she died 3 Apr 1853 at age 76.

Lyman — Sarah Unknown. Sarah was born Between 1785 and 1788, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1870. [Group Sheet]

The list of Joshua's children and their birth dates is given quite differently in different sources. I have not personally confirmed the list which I have on this tree, but have used various sources to compile the family group. See my notes for the individual children and their families, which I have researched.

According to his affadavit, Joshua may have been born in Hingham c1760, but the birth was recorded in Abington. Lois Remington Smith mentions his baptism record at Hingham on 14 Sept 1760, but birth record at Abington dated 1 Nov 1760. Gretchen Paulsen has provided information that he was born 9 Sep 1760, and his gravestone inscription reads "died 1855 age 95 years."

Joshua Remington, Jr. was a soldier in the Revolutionary War (VT) and was "present at the Battle of Bennington. He was in Captain Nathan Harwood's company, Colonel John Dickinson's regiment, the roll of which was sworn to in Chesterfield, New Hampshire. He was also in Captain Joseph Clapp's company, and Colonel Israel Chapin's regiment (Third Massachusetts) in the fall of 1779 and marched to reinforce the northern army. He settled in Wallingford, Vermont, in 1780, and saw further service there in a Vermont regiment . . . Joshua and Uriah were both in Captain Stafford's company, colonel Ebenezer Allen's regiment of Vermont militia in October, 1780, June, 1781, and again in 1780 in Captain Orange Train's company, Colonel Lee's regiment; also in Captain John Sprague's company, Colonel Gideon Warren's regiment, 1780-81." (source: "New England Families" Vol. I, Genealogies and Memorials, p. 381)

Joshua was placed on the pension roll of Chittendon County, VT, in 1832 for service as a private in the MA militia.

According to Boyd Scott Remington's ancestry chart, Joshua was baptised on 14 Sept 1760. He later lived in Wallingford, and died in Huntington, VT. Elsewhere I have seen that he may have been born 1 Nov 1760 (no source documentation). However, "New England Families," Vol. I, p. 381, says he was born in Nov 1759.

According to "Genealogical and Family History of Western New York" by William Richard Cutter, p. 978, Joshua moved to Rutland County, VT . . . He lived at Wallington."

In the 1790 Federal Census, a Joshua Remington is living at Danby, Rutland, VT. Besides Joshua, the household includes three white males under 16 and six free white females. Most likely the sons are Samuel, Jeremiah, & another unknown son before that time.

He is likely the Joshua Remington listed in the 1810 Federal Census at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT: 1 FWM<10, 1 FWM 10-15, 1 FWM 45+, 1 FWF 10-15, 1 FWF 16 - 25, 1 FWF 45+; total 6.

He may have lived for a while at Hinesburg, VT, where he bought real estate on 19 Sept 1818, and sold it to his son 28 Aug 1819, returning to Wallingford or Huntington. (source: "New England Families" Vol. I, Genealogies and Memorials, p. 381)

In the 1850 Federal Census, Joshua is age 90, living with his son Jeremiah and family at Huntington, Chittenden, VT.

Joshua Remington is a DAR Patriot.

Joshua married Eunice Unknown Abt 1782. Eunice was born 1758; died 26 Jul 1834, Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT; was buried , Center Cemetery, Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Eunice was the widow of Jeremiah Griffiths. It has been speculated that her maiden name may have been Burr.

Pat Boyden's genealogy report has Eunice's dates as follows: 26 July 1758 - 26 July 1831 (this needs more research).

Ezekiel — Elizabeth Rounds. [Group Sheet]
