  1. 1.  Sylvia Edmunds was born Nov 1825 (daughter of Joseph Edmunds and Susanna Chapman); died 1908; was buried , Old Sennett Cemetery, Cayuga Co., NY.

    Notes:

    I believe Sylvia is sister of Mary Edmunds who married Joseph Martin Remington. I think they are daughters of Joseph and Susanna Edmunds. I am going to make an educated guess that they are in this family group, based on census data from 1840 showing a free white female age 15-19 and and other age 20-29. The youngest girl age 10-14 would be Martha, with them in 1850.

    In 1880, Sylvia Remington gives MA as birthplace of both parents. In that census, she is a widow keeping house age 54; son Joseph E. is age 34, farmer at home.

    In 1900, Sylvia is age 74: son Joseph E. is head of the household, single and age 54; her four young adult Sheldon grandchildren are in the home; their mother died under suspicious circumstances and their father was incarcerated and killed himself.

    In the DETROIT SOCIETY FOR GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH MAGAZINE (date unknown), on p. 88 the following appears: "PRIVATE CEMETERY ON JOSEPH REMINGTON FARM, east and north of Sennett, in Brutus township, Cayuga County, New York.
    EDMUNDS, Joseph d. Feb. 6, 1859; ae. 78 yrs, 10 mos, 14 d;
    Susanna, wife of Joseph Edmunds, d. Apr. 11, 1867, ae 84 yrs 4 mos 22 d (dau. of Ezra and Esther (Avery) Chapman of Great Barrington and Windsor, Mass.);
    William C., d. Aug. 25, 1852, ae, 24 yrs 10 mos 5 d;
    Cyrus, son of Joseph & Susanna, d Oct 2, 1828, ae 18 yrs 2 mos 25 d;
    Elvira, dau. of Joseph & Susanna, d Dec. 21, 1822, ae. 19 yrs 8 mos 21 d;
    Joseph, son of Joseph & Susanna, d. July 18, 1822, ae. 2 yrs 3 mos 11 d
    (copied October 1936 by Clarence L. Beavis)."

    This farm may have belonged to Joseph E., son of Philander and Sylvia. Sylvia is living with son Joseph, farmer, in 1880 and 1900.

    Sylvia married Philander Remington Abt 1844. Philander (son of Zeno Remington and Mary Waity Olmsted) was born 1818, NY; died 1879; was buried , Old Sennett Cemetery, Cayuga Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

    Children:
    1. Joseph E. Remington was born Dec 1845; died 1918.
    2. Eva M. Remington was born Abt 1853; died 30 Apr 1896; was buried , Weedsport Rural Cemetery, Cayuga Co., NY.

  1. 2.  Joseph Edmunds was born 23 Mar 1780, Cheshire, Berkshire Co., MA (son of Edward Edmunds and Isabel Stafford); died 6 Feb 1859, Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY; was buried , Joseph Remington Farm, Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY.

    Notes:

    This family is from MA, but appears in the 1820 census in Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY.

    In 1840, the household of J. Edmunds at Brutus is as follows: free white males 2 age 10-14, 1 age 15-19, 1 age 20-29, and 1 age 60-69; free white females 1 age 10-14, 1 age 15-19, 1 age 20-29, and 1 age 50-59.

    Two of the youngest children would be William and Martha; the two other young females must be Mary and Sylvia; and of course the adults are the parents.

    I don't know who the other three boys are -- they could be unknown children, grandchildren, hired help, or foster children.

    In 1850, the household is as follows: Joseph Edmunds 70 MA, Susanna 67 MA, William 22 NY, Martha 20 NY; also Erastus Griswold 19, and Martha Cresson (?) 14.

    In the DETROIT SOCIETY FOR GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH MAGAZINE (date unknown), on p. 88 the following appears: "PRIVATE CEMETERY ON JOSEPH REMINGTON FARM, east and north of Sennett, in Brutus township, Cayuga County, New York.
    EDMUNDS, Joseph d. Feb. 6, 1859; ae. 78 yrs, 10 mos, 14 d;

    From Ed Voorhees at Rootsweb's Worldconnect:
    In the Boston Transcript for 19 Mar 1928 (available in the Dallas, TX, Public Library on microcard, "Boston Transcript, 1906-1941" the following is reported: EDMUNDS, CHAPMAN, STAFFORD. Joseph Edmunds, Quaker, Cheshire Mass., born March 22, 1780, died Feb. 6, 1859, married Susie or Susanna Chapman, Presbyterian, born Nov. 19, 1782, died April 11, 1867; she may have been born in Great Barrington, Mass. Joseph was son of Edward Edmunds and Isabel Stafford, Records say that Isabel's father was officer in the Revolution.

    Joseph married Susanna Chapman 25 Mar 1802, Great Barrington, MA. Susanna (daughter of Ezra Chapman and Esther Avery) was born Abt Nov 1783; died 11 Apr 1867, Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY; was buried , Joseph Remington Farm, Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY. [Group Sheet]


  2. 3.  Susanna Chapman was born Abt Nov 1783 (daughter of Ezra Chapman and Esther Avery); died 11 Apr 1867, Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY; was buried , Joseph Remington Farm, Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY.

    Notes:

    In 1860, Susanna Edmunds is age 77, living with Philander and Sylvia Remington. I am assuming Sylvia is her daughter.
