I have made an assumption that William belongs in this family group, for two reasons: he is living in the same geographical area as Wager's sister Penelope and Wager's assumed son Richard M. Remington; also, his first two children appear to be named after his parents.

Update: the death record gives his father's name as Wagar Remington.

His middle initial is given as both L and M in different censuses; I have used M because it is in two censuses. He was probably named after William Martin, father of Mary Martin who married Wager Hull and Gershom Remington.

In the 1850 Federal Census, William L. & Antoinette Remington, ages 40 & 41, are living at Rose, Wayne Co., NY. They have seven children in the home: Wager G. 16, Susan 14, George !2, Wm. M. 10, Chas A. 6, Silas K. 4, & Anna 2.

In the 1860 Federal Census, the family is at Savannah, Wayne Co., NY: William 50, Ann J. 51, Charles 16, Silas R. 14, Anna 12, & Hannah C. 10. William's (assumed) brother, Richard, is also living at Savannah with his family in 1860. Both of these families have a son named Wager; these two cousins are working in Butler, Wayne Co., NY, along with George, another of William's sons.

In the 1870 Federal Census, William M. Remington is 60 and his wife "Agmett" is 61. With them are Anna 21 & Hannah 17. They are living at Boston, Ionia Co., MI. Next door is son Silas and his wife Emma.

In the 1880 Federal Census, Wm. M. Remington and his wife Ann J. Remington are ages 69 & 70. They are living at Boston, Ionia Co., MI. Next door is son Silas K. Remington and his wife and family. (see notes for Silas)

William married Ann J. Unknown Abt 1833. Ann was born Between 1809 and 1810, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Her name may have been Angenett or Ann Jeanette. In the various censuses it is written as: Antoinette, Ann J., & Amgett.

Wager was named after his mother's first husband, Wager Hull. Quite a few boys from Jamestown were named Wager, after Sir Charles Wager, an apprentice to Captain John Hull of Jamestown. Charles Wager later became an officer in the British Royal Navy and was knighted as Sir Charles Wager. His grave is in Westminster Abbey, London, England.

I have made an assumption that some of the Remingtons from Columbia County, NY, belong to this Wager and his supposed wife Susannah. My reasons are two: his sister Penelope settled there and is there in the 1850 census; and, the name Wager Remington is found in two NY families in 1850/1860. Wager is a name from Jamestown, as noted above.

His wife's name was obtained from Rootsweb's Worldconnect. From later census data it appears that a grandson of Wager & Susannah also married a Mosier (Richard M. Remington, Jr, md Elizabeth F. Mosier).

I have made a reasonable assumption that Richard M. Remington, living at Hudson, NY, in the 1850 census, is Wager's son. It seems clear that he was named after his grandfather, Richard Mosher/Mosier. Richard Remington and his wife Jane have a son named Wager H. Remington, undoubtedly named after Wager Hull, as was Richard's father

There is another Remington family, William & Antoinette (or Angenett), who have a son named Wager. It appears that these families are very likely related, simply because two sons from the two families are living/boarding together as farm laborers in the 1860 census. Consequently, I have included William as a son in this family group.

Mary's name was found at Rootsweb's Worldconnect.

Charles married Susannah Mosher Abt 1807. Susannah (daughter of Richard Mosher and Phebe Husted) was born Abt 1785; died , NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Susannah's name as wife of Wager Hull Remington came from Rootsweb's Worldconnect (it says she is d/o Richard Mosher & Phebe Husted); this marriage has not been verified.
