Forest D. Remington

Notes:

On this family tree I have made an assumption that Forest is a son of Claude Remington.

In the Federal Census of 1930, Forest D. Remington, age 8, is living with his grandparents, John W. & Anna Millington. Claud Remington, 43, is living nearby. Could Forest be his son? Very possibly.

From the Social Security Death Index: Forest Remington b 19 Jul 1921 d Jun 1984 last known address Chestertown, Warren, New York

Notes:

In 1910 he is Claud Remington, age 24, in Marine School at Beaufort, SC.

In 1920 he may be Claude H. Remington, 33, living at Long Lake, Hamilton Co., NY. He is married to Luena or Lutha M., age 33 (name unclear). Her maiden name may have been Millington. In the same town is Lee M. Remington and family, probably Claud's brother.

In 1920 he is living at Johnsburg, Warren Co., NY. Nearby is a Forest D. Remington, age 8, living with his grandparents, John W. & Anna Millington. Could this be his son? Very possibly.

Claude — Luena Millington. Luena was born Abt 1887; died Aft 1920. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In 1880, Charley & Cora Remington, ages 24 & 18, are at Schroon, Essex Co., NY. They have a daughter, Bessie (?), one month old.

In the Federal Census of 1900, the family is living at Horicon, Warren Co., NY: Charles 42, Cordie 31, Claud 14, Lee 12, Bertha 8, & Helene 5.

In the Federal Census of 1910, he is Charles D. Remington, age 53, living at Chestertown, Warren, NY. His wife, Cordie M., is and two daughters, Bertha P. 19 & Helene 15.

One would think that Cora and Cordie are the same wife. However, their ages differ so much in the censuses. Also, the 1900 census says Charles & Cordie have been married 15 years, which would be 1885. Lastly, the 1910 census says this is Charles's second marriage and Cordie's first; they have been married 25 years, and she has had four children.

Charles married Corda May "Cordie" Willis Abt 1884, NY. Corda was born Dec 1868, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The birth record of Bland has her name as Corda Wills.

The marriage record of Lee has her name as Cordie Willis.

In the 1860 Federal Census, Justus B. & Eliza A. Remington, ages 44 & 32, are living at Schroon, Essex Co., NY. They have two sons: Charley 4, and Justus B. 1 month. Also in the household are Joshua Remington, 70 (assumed to be father of Justus), Helen Davis 8 (probably a niece), and Orange Remington, 20. They are living next to brother Zeba (Ziba) Remington and family, and also Henry Remington and family.

In 1870 J. & Eliza A. Remington, ages 53 & 41, are still living at at Schroon, NY. They have two children: Clarissa 14, & Justice Jr., 10. I believe Clarissa should be Charles, their son. Also with them is Hellen Davis, 18. The family is living near Orange & Sarah Remington.

In 1880 Justus & Eliza are ages 63 & 61, and are still at Schroon, NY. Son Justus Jr., age 20, is still with them. They are next to Charley & Cora Remington and two dwellings away from Orange & Jane Remington and family.

I think Orange may be a son of Justus from a first marriage. (This has since been confirmed by Valorie Sherman.) In 1850, there is a Mary Remington, age 14 VT, and Orange Remington, age 10 NY, living with the Davis family at Bolton, Warren Co., NY. Justus's two sisters were living there, both having married a Davis.

Justus married Eliza Ann Bentley Abt 1855. Eliza was born Nov 1828, VT; died 31 Dec 1923, Johnsburg, Warren Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1910 Federal Census, Eliza A. Remington is age 81 and widowed, living at Horicon, Warren Co., NY, with her widowed brother-in-law Ziba Remington and (probably son) Jetta (Justus?) Remington, age 49.
