William R. Stringer

William — Florence Unknown. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the Federal Census of 1 June 1900, William F. & Julia E. Stringer, ages 34 & 36, are living at Franklin, Delaware Co., NY. Their son William R. is 1 year old.

In the Federal Census of 15 Apr 1910, William F. & Julia Stringer, ages 43 & 41, are still living at Franklin, Delaware Co., NY. Their son William R., age 12, is with them. According to the census data, William & Julia have been married for 14 years,

In the Federal Census of 1 Jan 1920, William & Julia Stringer, ages 53 & 57, are still living at Franklin, Delaware Co., NY.

In the 1930 census, William & Julia, ages 63 and 65, are living in Windsor, Broome Co., NY. He owns a dairy farm.

William married Julia A. Remington Abt 1896. Julia (daughter of Clark Remington and Elizabeth Carley) was born Abt Nov 1859, NY; died Aft 1 Jan 1920. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

She may be the Julia Remington who married George F. Wolcott on 31 Dec 1879 at Meredith or Downsville, NY. The age and location would match. In the 1880 Federal Census, George & Julia Wolcott, ages 26 & 21, are living at Meredith, Delaware Co., NY.

She married William Stringer about 1898.

Julia's age fluctuates in the later censuses, possibly because William was younger than she. According to the 1900 census, she was born in Nov 1863. However, she was born before the 1860 census.

Notes:

I am not sure that Clark belongs in this family, but I am placing him here based on census data for Samuel's family, as well as similarity of family names and general proximity of residence in the censuses. However, this needs more research to confirm.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Clark & Elizabeth are living at Otego, Otsego Co., NY; this is right next to Delaware County. Clark & Elizabeth have two children: Martin 3 & Mahitable 1.

In the 1860, 1870, & 1880 censuses, the family is living at Sidney, Delaware Co., NY. Several other Remingtons are also living in Delaware County, so this is one reason that I have placed Clark in the family with these Remingtons, who are all related. Also, from the census data for Samuel Remington, it seems that Samuel and his wife had a son during the time period of Clark's birth, so I have assumed that Clark is that son, most likely the oldest of the siblings. This needs more research to confirm. (see notes for Samuel)

Clark married Elizabeth Carley Abt 1846. Elizabeth (daughter of Jonathan Carley) was born 18 Jul 1823, East Sidney, Delaware Co., NY; died 27 Jul 1899, NY; was buried , Glenwood Cemetery, Delaware Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Elizabeth's maiden name as Farley was given to me by a descendant, Randall Fritz: Elizabeth was born July 18,1823 in East Sidney NY and died July 27, 1899 in Deposit , NY (I believe). She was 75 y 4 m 12 d old.

Another descendant, Armanda, has corrected the above and says that Elizabeth's maiden name was Carley, and her father was Jonathan.

Notes:

Boyd Scott Remington's chart places a Samuel in the family group of Joshua & Eunice Remington, but I question whether he belongs there. According to the "Oliver M. Remington Bible Records" (National DAR Records; referenced in "A Remington Family History" by Lois Remington Smith, p. C-2), Uriah & Sally Remington had a son named Samuel, so it seems more likely that these dates belong to that family. Consequently, I am assigning these dates to this particular Samuel. (My research at the Delaware Co., NY, web site and in census data seems to confirm this.)

The 1810 Federal Census at Delaware Co., NY, lists him as Samuel Ramington.

In the 1820 Federal Census at Meredith, Delaware Co., NY, Samuel Remington's household consists of: 3 males<10, 1 male 26 - 45 (Samuel), 2 females<10, 2 females 10-16, and 1 female 26-45 (wife). This data suggests that at that time they had two daughters (names?) born c 1805-1810, and two more daughters (probably Nancy & Lucinda) and three sons born c 1810-1820 (possibly Clark, Seba, & Wiliam).

In the 1830 census, Samuel is still at Meredith. His household consists of: 1 male<5, 1 male 5<10, 2 males 15<20, 1 male 20<30, 1 male 40<50, 1 female<5, 1 female 5<10, 1 female 10<15, 1 female 20<30, 1 female 40<50, and 1 female 60<70. This suggests that the family had a son and a daughter born c 1825-1830, a son and a daughter born c 1820-1825, one daughter born c 1815-1820, two sons born c 1810-1815, one son and one daughter born c 1800-1810, in addition to Samuel and his wife (40-50), and one older woman (60-70) who may have been a mother or mother-in-law. It seems likely that the household of 1830 included Samuel's married son Seba and his wife and their young children.

In the 1840 census, Samuel and Seba Remington are both listed as heads of households, probably living next to each other. Samuel's household consists of: 2 males 15-20 (Nelson and Martin?), 1 male 20-30 (possibly George, about 20 - 25), 1 male 30-40 (possibly William, about 27), 1 male 60-70 (Samuel), 1 female 10-15 (probably Delia), 1 female 15-20 (?), 2 females 20-30 (Lucinda and ?), and 1 female 50-60 (his wife).

In the 1850 Federal Census, Samuel Remington (surname illegible), age 79 VT, is living at Meredith, Delaware Co., NY. In the household with him are Marcus 66 CT (female), and Delia 21 NY. Also, in the same dwelling but different family group are Linus & Nancy Bronson, ages 36? & 33?. Nancy is probably Samuel's daughter. They are all living next to William & Caroline Remington and family, and on the other side of William are Seba & Delia (should be Julia?) Remington and family.

"Records of the Supervisors of the County of Delaware October 5th, 1813" transcribed by Linda Ogborn, includes notations of payments made to the town account by Daniel Remington and Samuel Remington. (source: Delaware Co., NY, historical web site)

"Sam Remington" had a mill -- probably a flour mill -- in Delaware County in the 1820s. The 1850 census shows his occupation as miller.

Samuel married Lois Wattles Abt 1805. Lois was born Abt 1786, CT; died 1865, Delaware Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1860 Federal Census, Lois Remington, age 74 CT, is living with her (presumed) son William and his family at Meredith, Delaware Co., NY.

In 1850 her name is given as Marcus (female), age 66 CT. Perhaps the census taker was hard of hearing. The family surname is poorly scribbled, also.
