Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Orlando O. Remington was born 1811, NY (son of Zeno Remington and Mary Waity Olmsted); died 25 Jan 1902, Weedsport, Cayuga Co., NY; was buried , Weedsport Rural Cemetery, Cayuga Co., NY.

    Notes:

    In 1860, Orlando and Mary are living at Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY, with four sons in the home -- Darius, Edward, William, and Charles. However, it appears that in 1850 and 1860, Darius is in Allen, Hillsdale, MI, living as a farm laborer, although he is listed with his family in Brutus.

    In 1865, the family is at Brutus: Orlando O. 52, Mary 51, Wm. Henry 20, and Charles T.? 16.

    Findagrave.com has his name as Orlando O., probably middle name Olmstead. This middle initial is also in the 1865 NY State Census.

    Orlando married Mary Blackwell 1832. Mary was born 1812; died 1888; was buried , Weedsport Rural Cemetery, Cayuga Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Zeno Remington was born 1785 (son of Jabez Remington and Penelope Mills); died Bef 1830, NY.

    Notes:

    In the 1820 census, Zeno Remington is head of household in Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY. There are 2 males under 10, 1 male 26-44, 1 female under 10, and one female 25-44. The adults are Zeno and Mary; the two boys are likely Orlando (9) and Philander (2), and the girl could be Mary (not sure of her exact age).

    By 1830 Zeno is not there and assumed to have died. See his wife Mary for notes.

    I have made an assumption that Theodore is a son in this family, based on a few points: 1) he named a son Zeno; 2) his birth year range and location place him here; and 3) Theodore and Philander are both mentioned in a land assessment as grantees Jan 1849.

    Zeno married Mary Waity Olmsted Jan 1810. Mary (daughter of Ambrose Olmsted, Jr. and Mary Palmer) was born Abt 1793; died 1 Nov 1875; was buried , Weedsport Rural Cemetery, Cayuga Co., NY. [Group Sheet]


  2. 3.  Mary Waity Olmsted was born Abt 1793 (daughter of Ambrose Olmsted, Jr. and Mary Palmer); died 1 Nov 1875; was buried , Weedsport Rural Cemetery, Cayuga Co., NY.

    Notes:

    In the 1830 census, Mary Remington is listed as head of household with four children. Researcher Katie Mills gives the name of only one of these children, Orlan. It appears there were two other sons and one daughter. See my notes below:

    In 1850, Mary Remington is age 55, living in Brutus with Philander Remington and family. I am assuming he is her son. Also there is Mary E. Remington, 28, apparently single. I am making an assumption she is a daughter.

    Inscription: "Grandmother" age 82y

  1. 4.  Jabez Remington was born Abt 1750, Norfolk, Litchfield Co., CT (son of Daniel Remington, I and Sarah Winchell); died Between 1800 and 1810, Cayuga Co., NY.

    Notes:

    Please note that I am not positive that Jabez belongs in this family, but time and location in both marriage and census records strongly suggest it. It doesn't seem that he would have been a son of any of Daniel's brothers, although I suppose he could be a son of Samuel if Jabez was born c1755, or son of Stephen. I have searched for confirming data but none seems to be available. I wonder why he did not name a son Daniel, or Stephen or Samuel for that matter. He did name a son Ebenezer, the name of one of Daniel's sons and possibly his closest brother, However, he also named a son Rufus, the name of one of Samuel's sons. So this is inconclusive.

    Compiler Katie Mills thinks that Jabez likely served in the Revolution, although no records have confirmed that.

    Peter Comstock of Norfolk, CT, sold 100 acres in Norfolk to Jabez Remington, 2 Sep 1775. (source: "A Comstock Genealogy, Descendants of William Comstock of New London, CT" p. 53)

    Jabez Remington, of Norfolk, affidavit: " . . . am of the Anne baptis perswasion and do indeavor at all times to attend that worship beleaving in my concience that it is true worship of God." -- witnessed by Elder Joseph Hastings, 12 June 1776 (Norfolk Vital Records 1728-1850).

    "Anabaptists are Christians who believe that baptism is only valid when the candidate confesses his or her faith in Christ and wants to be baptized. This believer's baptism is opposed to baptism of infants, who are not able to make a conscious decision to be baptized." (Wikipedia)

    "The Anabaptists could find no justification for elaborate church bureaucracies. Decisions should be made not by a hierarchical leader but by the entire local assembly. In fact, the Anabaptists were the first to try to practice democracy in the congregation . . . Another central teaching was the separation of church and state. The church, they said, is to be composed of free,

    Jabez married Penelope Mills 27 Apr 1773, Norfolk, Litchfield Co., CT. Penelope (daughter of Joseph Mills, Jr. and Susanna Case) was born 28 May 1755, West Simsbury, Harttford Co., CT; died Mar 1814, Cayuga Co., NY. [Group Sheet]


  2. 5.  Penelope Mills was born 28 May 1755, West Simsbury, Harttford Co., CT (daughter of Joseph Mills, Jr. and Susanna Case); died Mar 1814, Cayuga Co., NY.

    Notes:

    Penelope's parents moved to Norfolk, CT, in 1759. Her stepmother Hannah Remington was reportedly from Suffield. (source: History of the Simon Mills Family, by Katie Mills, p. 59)

    In the 1810 census Penelope appears to be a widow, listed as head of household in Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY. She is listed next to son-in-law Samuel Olds and near son Martin Remington. Also in the same town is David Remington, probably the nephew of Jabez. Penelope's household is as follows: 1 FWM 10-15, 1 FWM 16-25, 1 FWM 26-44, 1 FWF 10-15, 1 FWF 16-25, and 1 FWF 45+.

    Penelope died of consumption at age 59. "She was a professor of religion in the Baptist denomination."

  1. 8.  Daniel Remington, I was born 18 Feb 1705/06, Suffield, Hartford County, CT (son of John Remington, I and Hannah Hale); died Aft 1746.

    Notes:

    Boyd Scott Remington's Remington Ancestry Chart at RIHSL has Daniel's date of birth as 18 Feb 1706.

    The Suffield records show a birth to a son of Daniell & Sarah Remington: Abijah, who died at about 14 months on 8 July, no year given.

    He may be the Daniel Remington of Suffield who later married Mrs. Susannah Bush, widow, in 1770, as her fourth husband.
