Florence Luella Remington

Notes:

In the 1875 NY State Census she appears to be Elsa L. Remington age 1 y 9 mos (unclear writing), in Auburn, Cayuga Co., NY, with her parents Zeno H. and Martha Remington, and Martha's parents and siblings.

In the 1900 Federal Census, Florence E. "Bodell" 28 (Aug 1871) is a widow living in Auburn with daughter Florence L. 2 (Aug 1897). See notes for daughter Florence.

In 1910 she is Florence Boyd, married to John A Boyd, with daughter Florence L. Bedell age 12, living in Auburn. In 1920 they are living in Cleveland, OH.

In 1940 John A. and Florence L. Boyd are in Philadelphia, PA.

In her mother's obituary of September 1910, Luella is mentioned as daughter Mrs. John Boyd of Auburn.

Florence married Charles E. Bedell 11 Mar 1894, Port Byron, NY. Charles was born 1867; died 27 Dec 1898, Auburn, Cayuga Co., NY; was buried , Fort Hill Cemetery, Auburn, Cayuga Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

1. Florence Laura Bedell was born 18 Aug 1897, Auburn, Cayuga Co., NY; died 22 Jan 1944, Cleveland, Cuyahoga Co., OH; was buried , Riverside Cemetery, Cleveland, OH.

Florence married John A. Boyd 25 Mar 1902, Auburn, Cayuga Co., NY. John (son of George Carlton Boyd and Lillie O. Lent) was born 25 Apr 1877, NY; died 2 Mar 1947, Philadelphia, PA; was buried , Fort Hill Cemetery, Auburn, Cayuga Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Auburn City Directory, 1874, lists Zeno H. Remington as a moulder.

He appears to be Ceno H. Rivington 26 married to Martha D. (Young) 22 in the 1875 NY State Census at Auburn, Cayuga Co., NY. They have a daughter E?? L. Remington 1 yr 9 mos (unclear). I can't find Zeno anytime after that.

Martha has remarried by 1880 -- see notes for her.

Zeno married Martha Delphine Young Abt. 1873, NY. Martha was born 21 Mar 1853, NY; died 12 Sep 1910, Cayuga Co., NY; was buried , Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, Port Byron, NY. [Group Sheet]

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.

In 1850, Theodore 25 and Margaret 23 are at Mentz, Cayuga Co., NY; they have a son Henry age 1. They appear to be living with or next to the family of Jonah and Malinda Campbell.

My thought: Henry born c1849 is Zeno in later records; his middle initial is H; or, Henry died young and Zeno was born the next year and his middle name is Henry. I have come to the conclusion that Zeno was Theodore's father and Henry was Margaret's father.

In 1860, they are at Horseheads, Chemung Co., NY: Theodore 30, Margaret 28, Zeno 10, George 5, John 1.

Theodore Remington age 42 enlisted for Civil War 1863 in Cayuga, NY; mustered out of service 24 Aug 1865.

In 1865 they are at Mentz, Cayuga Co., NY again: Theodore 32, Margaret 29 ?, Zeno 13 ?, George 8, John 6, Mary S. 4. Unclear, difficult to read. If I understand the census numbering correctly, they are in dwelling number 31, which is headed by Henry and Gertrude Bogardus, ages 75 and 74 (although on separate pages).

In 1870 they are at Auburn, Cayuga Co., NY: Theodore 41, Margaret 39, Zeno 18, George 12, John 10; and Gertrude Bogardus 82. I am making an assumption that she is Margaret's mother.

In 1880, Theodore Remington is age 55, a boarder in the family of John D. and Elinor Bogardus in Horseheads, Chemung Co., NY. They must also be related thorugh Margaret.

His estimated year of birth changes so much in these records (1825 x2, 1821, 1829, 1830, 1833), but I am sure he is the same individual.

Theodore married Margaret Bogardus Abt 1849, NY. Margaret (daughter of Henry Bogardus and Gertrude Unknown) was born Abt 1832, NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I have made an assumption that Margaret is etiher a daughter or granddaughter of Henry and Gertrude.

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]

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

Henry — Gertrude Unknown. Gertrude was born 1 Sep 1787; died 12 Mar 1879; was buried , Glen Cemetery, Paxton, Ford Co., IL. [Group Sheet]
