  1. 1.  Henry Remington was born Abt Oct 1828, VT (son of Jonathan Remington and Unknown Wife); died 1 Sep 1866.

    Notes:

    I have made an assumption that he is be the Henry Remington in the 1850 and 1860 Federal Censuses at Champion, Jefferson Co., NY. In 1850 he is age 18 NY, a laborer, living with the family of Henry Gear. In 1860 probably the same Henry Remington is still living at Champion, age 31 NY, with a wife named Sylvia C. age 22 NY. They are living with Silas & Sarah Ann Chapin, parents of Sylvia.

    There were several Henry Remingtons in New York State, so it is uncertain which one this is at Champion. However, notes on Jonathan A. Bowhall refer to an uncle Henry Remington of Denmark; this above-mentioned couple were married in Copenhagen.

    Henry married Sylvia C. Chapin 17 Jan 1860, Champion, Jefferson Co., NY. Sylvia (daughter of Silas H. Chapin and Fanny Orvis) was born Abt 1838. [Group Sheet]

  1. 2.  Jonathan Remington was born 1 May 1801, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT (son of Jonathan Remington and Martha Sprague); died Feb 1892, Jefferson Co., NY.

    Notes:

    In the Federal Census of 1830, listings for Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT, show Jonathan Rimmington and Jonathan Rimmington Jr. Jonathan Jr. has three children in the household: 1 female 5<10, 1 female <5, and 1 male <5.

    In the Federal Census of 1840, a Jonathan Remington appears at Wallingford, VT. However, according to Mary Lou Raftery, this Jonathan is at Diana, Lewis Co., NY (not accessible at ancestry.com).

    Information on the 1865 census at Diana, NY, is from Mary Lou Raftery: Jonathan Remington 61 VT, Nathan Remington son-in-law 37 Jeff. NY, Rhoda Remington 34 child VT, Emily J. Walod 19 adopted Jeff. NY, Jonathan A. Bowhall 4 adopted Lewis Co., NY.

    In the 1870 census, Johnathan Remington 66 VT is living at Champion, Jefferson Co., NY. He is with married daughter Phebe C. and her husband Abner Smith and famiy.

    In the Federal Census of 1880, Jonathan Remington is age 78 VT, living with the family of George Collar in Diana, Lewis Co., NY. Jonathan is identified as grandfather. His brother John, age 90 in the census, is also living at Diana, NY.

    Who was his wife? Where is he in the censuses of 1850 and 1860?

    The intersection of NY Rts. 3 & 812 in Diana, Lewis Co., NY, is called "Remington Corners."

    Credit note: The list of Jonathan's children and descendants (except for Phebe Celestia and her family, and the above-mentioned George Collar and his family) came to me from Mary Lou Raftery.

  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.
