    Notes:

    In the Federal Census of 1880, Albert and his wife appear to be living at Hornby, Steuben, NY.

    Notes:

    I have placed Betsey as this particular Joseph's wife, and these children as his children, based on his date of birth and his age in the various censuses; also, the location of their parents' birth in the 1880 census agrees. Therefore, I have made an assumption that this family belongs to this Joseph born 21 Dec 1798.

    In the 1850 Federal Census, the family is living at Kingsbury, Washington Co., NY:
    Joseph Remington 52 VT farmer
    Betsey 43 VT
    Gilbert 23 VT
    Robert 20 VT
    Albert 16 VT
    Allen 11 VT

    In the 1860 Federal Census, the family is living at Hartford, Washington Co., NY:
    Joseph Remington 61 VT farmer
    Betsey 53 VT
    Robert 30 VT
    Albert 26 VT
    Allen 21 VT
    Ann 22 NY (possibly Albert's wife?)

    In the 1870 Federal Census, the family is living at Fort Ann, Washington Co., NY:
    Joseph Remington 71 VT farmer
    Betsey 63 VT
    Gilbert 43 VT
    Robert 40 VT

    In the 1880 Federal Census, they are living at South Bay, Washington Co., NY:

    Robert 50 VT (VT/VT) (born without use of his limbs)

    Joseph married Betsey Edgerton Abt 1826, VT. Betsey (daughter of Robert Douglas Edgerton and Anna Bull) was born 21 Jan 1807, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1880, Washington Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

    This Joseph Remington is probably the one listed in the 1810 Federal Census at Wallingford, Rutland, VT: 1 FWM<10, 1 FWM 10-15, 1 FWM 26-44, 3 FWF<10, 1 FWF 26-44; total 7. Also, Stephen & Joshua Remington (likely his brothers) are listed in the same town.

    In the 1850 Federal Census, this Joseph appears to be the Joseph Remington, age 84 b. MA, living at Chester, Warren, NY, with Wiliam Remington, 30 b. VT, and Almira 35, b. PA and their daughter Laura A. 8, b. NY. They are next door to Jeremiah 44 & Polly 45 Remington, and their two (presumed) daughters, Sylvia & Mary.

    This Joseph has often been confused with Joseph Remington of Windsor, VT, our closer relative, who, by his own affidavit, was born (about) 13 June 1757 at Hopkinton, RI.

    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]
