  1. 1.  Jonathan Remington was born Abt 1829, NY or VT (son of Rufus Remington and Rebecca Doty); died 1903, NY; was buried , Harrisville Cemetery, Diana, Lewis Co., NY.

    Notes:

    Notes sent to me by Norman Charles Hill place this Jonathan as a son of Rufus Remington. I also have wondered if Jonathan might be a son of Jonathan b 1801 or of John b 1794, both sons of Jonathan & Martha (Sprague) Remington, as was Rufus.

    Information from Mary Lou Rafery placed this Jonathan as a son of John Remington b 1801 and Unknown Wife. Jonathan's birthplace is NY in two of the censuses, but VT in two others. Jonathan's presumed father, Rufus, was living in NY in 1830, but back in VT by 1840, where there is a Jonathan Remington living next to him. However, Jonathan's age in that census does not agree with his age here. (This family needs more research.)

    He is probably the Jonathan Remington, age 20 VT, in the 1850 census at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. He is a carpenter, and is listed twice in the census; all were born in VT. Nearby are Octavia Remington 22 VT and Prudence Remington 18 VT (could they be daughters of Truman?). All three are living in different households. How are they related? Was Jonathan born in NY but returned to his parents' former hometown to be a carpenter's apprentice?

    In the Federal Census of 1860, Jonathan & Sophia, ages 40 VT & 35 VT, are living at Wallingford, VT. He is a carpenter and joiner. Son Frank is 6 months.

    In the Federal Census of 1870, Jno & S. E. Remington, ages 41 NY & 42 VT, are living at Diana, Lewis Co., NY. Son Frank is 10 NY. According to census data, Jonathan and Frank were born in NY.

    In the 1880 Federal Census, Jonathan & Sophia Remington are ages 51 NY & 52 VT, living at Diana, Lewis Co., NY. Their son Frank, age 20, is with them.

    Two of the censuses give Jonathan's birthplace as NY, two as VT.

    Jonathan married Sophia E. Cook 16 Oct 1851, VT. Sophia was born Abt 1829, VT; died 1888, NY; was buried , Harrisville Cemetery, Diana, Lewis Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

    Children:
    1. Frank Remington was born Abt Jan 1860, VT; died 18 Nov 1924, Newton Falls, NY; was buried , Harrisville Cemetery, Diana, Lewis Co., NY.

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Rufus Remington was born Between 11 Mar and 11 Aug 1790, Wallingford, Rutland, VT (son of Jonathan Remington and Martha Sprague); died 28 Aug 1866, Wallingford, Rutland, VT; was buried , Doty Cemetery, South Wallingford, VT.

    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.

Generation: 3

  1. 4.  Jonathan Remington was born 1 Sep 1761, Abington, Plymouth Co., MA (son of Joshua (2) Remington, II and Ruth Clay); died 19 Apr 1833.

    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).

    Notes:

    (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein. Some of the information on this family came from Lois Remington Smith in "A Remington Family History.")

    Joshua Remington, Sr. was a soldier in the Revolutionary War.

    The family moved from Abington, MA, to Cummington, MA, sometime between 1772 and 1776. Joshua's three lots in northwest Cummington are in the area known as Remington's Hill (also called Bryant Mt., after the poet William Cullen Bryant who was born in Cummington).

    In 1780 there was a controversy concerning Joshua Remington in the local church, in which his name appears in the church records quite a bit. Among other accusations was that he was causing schisms in the church by his charges against the pastor.

    Joshua and family are in the 1800 census, but not the 1810. His son Benjamin was appointed Administrator of Joshua's estate on 15 Oct 1811 (Probate records of Northampton, Hampshire Co., MA).

    Lois Remington Smith has noted his date of death as Sep 1811.

    Joshua married Ruth Clay Abt 1754. Ruth was born Abt 1734; died Aft 1800. [Group Sheet]
