Notes:

In the 1870 Federal Census, George & Caroline Remington, ages 27 & 28, are living at Delmar, Tioga Co., PA, where George is a Baptist minister. They have a son, Virgil, 1 year old.

In the 1880 Federal Census, George & Caroline are both age 38. The family is now living at Trout Creek, Tompkins, Delaware Co., NY. They have three children: L. Virgil 11 PA, William 9 PA, & Aron (Avon?) 3 NY.

I have made an assumption that George Remington, the Baptist minister who married Caroline, is the same as George, son of William, and also that this is probably the same George W. Remington who was the 5th pastor of the Hancock Baptist Church, Hancock, Delaware Co., NY. Because of the names William & Virgil for his sons, and because of his age and state of birth, as well as location of pastorate, it is a reasonable assumption that he is the son of William & Caroline.

In the 1900 Federal Census, George W. & Caroline Remington are living at Winchester, Litchfield Co., CT. His occupation is given as "Minister." According to census data, they have been married 34 years and have had four children. They are still in the same town in the 1910 census.

George married Caroline A. Campbell 8 Mar 1866, Oneonta, Otsego Co., NY. Caroline was born Abt 1842, NY; died Aft 15 Apr 1910. [Group Sheet]
