Marion Cordelia Remington

Marion — Walter Matthew Hammond. Walter was born 1895. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1870 Federal Census, Lyman is age 13 WI, living at Vasa, Goodhue Co., MN, with the family of Lorenzo Leavitt. His brother Arthur (probably Orthus), 20 WI, is also there.

In 1880 Lyman is age 23, living at Chicago, Cook Co., IL, with his mother Clara, age 54.

In the 1900 Federal Census, Lyman is married to Minnie and living on Ashland Street in Chicago. Their ages are given as 42 and 29. According to the census data, they have been married four years. They have two young children, Elmer 3 and Marion 1. Clara Remington 74, Lyman's mother, is with them.

In 1910 Lyman and Minnie, ages 53 and 39, are still in Chicago. They now have two more children, Evelyn & Eugene. The family is living on South Claremont Avenue. They also have a lodger with them.

In 1920 L.A. Remington is 62 and Minnie is 49. They are on Warren Avenue in Chicago. There are now five children in the household. I wonder why Eugene's name is given as W. R. or W. L. The household consists of: L.A. 62 WI, Minnie 49 IL, E.B. 22 IL, M. 20 IL, Clara 17 IL, W. L. (or W. R. ) 11 IL, & Lucile 8 IL.

Lyman married Minnie Nitschke Abt 1896. Minnie was born Jan 1871, IL; died Aft 1 Apr 1930, IL. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Minnie's maiden name was given to me by a descendant, Barbara Smith.

In the 1930 Federal Census, Minnie Remington is a widow age 59, living in Chicago. According to the census data, her father was born in WI and her mother in Norway. With Minnie are two of her children, Eugene 22 and Mildred 20.

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, the family is living at Hebron, Jefferson Co., WI: George M. 30 NY, Clarrissa 24 NY, Cordelia 6 WI, Martha 3 WI, & Orthos 1 WI.

I can't locate George in the census records after 1850. In 1860 there is a George Remington, mechanic (?), b c 1815, boarding at a hotel in Franklin, Delaware Co., NY. In 1870 there is a George Remington, blind, b c 1825, in an institution in Rome, Oneida Co., NY. Also in 1870 there is a couple, George 39 and Clarrissa 30, living at Ashland, Newaygo Co., MI; however, the ages are way off, if it is indeed this couple; but no children are with them.

In putting together these family members, I have made an assumption that Clarrissa Remington, age 24, in the 1850 Federal Census, is the same individual as Clara Remington, age 54, in the 1880 Federal Census, when she and son Lyman are living in Chicago, IL.

George married Clarissa Gardiner Abt 1843. Clarissa was born Abt Oct 1825, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1900. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I have made an assumption that Clarrissa Remington, age 24, in the 1850 Federal Census, is the same individual as Clara Remington, age 54, in the 1880 Federal Census.

In 1880, Clara and her son Lyman are living at Chicago, Cook Co., IL.

In 1900 she is living with Lyman, now married to Minnie, still in Chicago. According to the census data, her parents were born in WI/IL.

Notes:

In the 1820 Federal Census, the three brothers -- Thomas, Silas, & Alva -- are listed at Henrietta, Monroe Co., NY.

Silas went to Wisconsin in the 1840s.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Silas & Margaret Remington are living at Genesee, Waukesha Co., WI. There are four children in the household: B. 25, Orthos 22, M. 20, & A. 18 (the last two are females).

I have made an assumption that M. is Marcelia, based on her age.

His gravestone data says he was born at Rutland, VT.

Silas married Mary Parker 15 Jun 1815. Mary was born May 1793; died 15 Jun 1823; was buried , Riverview Cemetery, Henrietta, NY. [Group Sheet]
