  1. 1.  Dennis H. Remington was born Between 1831 and 1835, Rutland Co., VT (son of Truman Remington and Jane Bell); died Aug 1895, Chetopa, Labette Co., KS.

    Notes:

    In the 1870 Federal Census, his name is written as David or Daniel Remington (with a middle initial -- possibly H or G?). They are at Hackberry, Labette Co., KS. In 1870 they have two sons, Warren 4, and B. F. Butler 2. It is rather faint and difficult to read.

    In the 1880 Federal Census, the family is still at Hackberry. The name is unclear -- Dennis? David? Daniel? They have three sons: Warren 14, Butler 12, and Blucher 12. Jane Cassford, "mother," age 70 Canada, is with them. It appears that Jane could be the mother of Prudence, because Jane was born in Canada, and the birthplace of Prudence's mother is given as Canada in the census data.

    In both 1870 and 1880, Dennis's birthplace is given as VT. Prudence and all three boys were born in IL.

    Prudence and Dennis may have been cousins.

    Dennis H. Remington was listed as from Hampshire, IL, in the 8th Reg't Illinois during the Civil War.

    The 1860 Federal Census has a Dennis Remington of the correct age living at Oberlin, Ohio, but he is married to Matilda and has two children, Ida 2 and Azael (?) 4. This Matilda appears to be a single mother living at a boarding house in 1870. There is also a Matilda Remington of the same age, a housewife, listed at a lunatic asylum in Ohio.

    Dennis married Prudence Bell Abt 1865. Prudence (daughter of Henry Gale Bell and Charlotte DeWitt) was born Feb 1846, IL; died Nov 1900, Chetopa, Labette Co., KS. [Group Sheet]

    Children:
    1. Warren William Remington was born Apr 1866, IL; died Aft 15 Apr 1910; was buried , Lake Creek Cemetery, Bartlett, Labette Co., KS.
    2. B. F. Butler Remington was born Oct 1867, IL; died 7 Mar 1927, Chetopa, Labette Co., KS; was buried , Lake Creek Cemetery, Bartlett, Labette Co., KS.
    3. Blucher Remington was born 17 Nov 1869, Chetopa, Labette Co., KS; died 29 Oct 1936, Chetopa, Labette Co., KS; was buried , Lake Creek Cemetery, Bartlett, Labette Co., KS.

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Truman Remington was born 28 Feb 1808, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT (son of Jonathan Remington and Martha Sprague); died 13 Feb 1859.

    Notes:

    It appears in the 1830 census that Truman Remington is married and has three daughters under age five. The family is living at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT.

    In 1840 the family is still at Wallingford. He is listed near Amos Gorton, Rufus Remington, and Jonathan Remington. It appears that there are three sons and two daughters in the household.

    Octavia Remington 22 VT and Prudence Remington 18 VT, living at Wallingford, VT, in the 1850 census, could possibly be Truman's daughters.

    Truman married Jane Bell 1828, Rutland Co., VT. Jane (daughter of Ralph Randolph Wheelock Bell and Desire Reynolds) was born Abt 1810, NY or Canada; died Aft 1 Jun 1870. [Group Sheet]


  2. 3.  Jane Bell was born Abt 1810, NY or Canada (daughter of Ralph Randolph Wheelock Bell and Desire Reynolds); died Aft 1 Jun 1870.

  1. 4.  Jonathan Remington was born 1 Sep 1761, Abington, Plymouth Co., MA (son of Joshua (2) Remington, II and Ruth Clay); died 19 Apr 1833.

    Notes:

    Jonathan served in the Revolution from MA & VT. He enlisted at Cummington, MA.

    His marriage to Martha was obtained from Rootsweb's Worldconnect, so needs verification to determine that it is the same Jonathan Remington. That genealogy lists 11 children for this couple. Other family notes I have seen agree.

    I could not find his birth record at Abington, but Lois Remington Smith lists Jonathan with the children of Joshua & Ruth.

    However, some genealogies have this Jonathan as a son of Thomas Remington b 1726 and his wife Rachel Stowell.

    Also, others show his birthplace as Cummington, Hampshire Co., MA, and his death as c 1840 at Wallingford, VT.

    The Federal Census of 1830 at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT lists a Jonathan Rimmington and a Jonathan Rimmington Jr. The household of the former includes 1 male age 70<80, 1 female 50>60; and three other females -- 1-40<50, 1-10<15, & 1-15<20.

    In 1833 when he appeared for his pension hearing, he said he had lived in Wallingford for 51 years (since 1782).

    The last pension payment was made 12 Sep 1834 (to his wife?).

    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]
