Notes:

In the 1860 Federal Census, D. J. & Mary Remington are ages 27 & 31, living at Lorraine, Jefferson Co., NY. They have two children, Cecil(e) 2 and Clayton 1. Daniel's mother Huldah, age 59, is nearby, living with the Hitchcocks (Daniel's sister Phebe and family).

In the 1870 Federal Census, Daniel & Mary Ann are living at Lorraine, Jefferson Co., NY, with their children Cecil(e), Clarence, & Armence. They are next door to the Hitchcock family. Mrs. Hitchcock (Ann/Elizabeth) is Daniel's sister. Their mother Huldah is also with the Hitchcocks.

In the 1880 Federal Census, Daniel J. & Margarett Remington are still living in Lorraine, Jefferson, NY, with their daughter Minnie M. age 16. They are nearby other family members, such as uncle "Orsmus," nephew Byron Hitchcock, and mother Huldah Remington. There are other Remingtons in town who may not be related -- other than very distantly (Hiram & Levi).

Could Margaret be a second wife, or just another name for Mary, or even the census taker's mistake?

Daniel married Mary Ann "Margaret" Young 3 Jan 1857. Mary (daughter of David Young and Catherine Rice) was born 22 Feb 1829, Pamelia, NY; died 23 Mar 1910. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1870 Federal census she is called Mary Ann; 1880 Federal Census she is called Margaret. In the town history she is called Mary.

Notes:

There is a Clark Hall age 26 living at Lorrain, NY, in 1850. I feel that his name must have some connection to Clark H. Remington. Perhaps they share a common ancestor.

In 1840 he is C. H. Remington, living near Jonathan Remington at Lorraine.

C. H. Remington and family are at Lorraine, Jefferson Co., NY, in 1840. Also there is Johnathan Remington.

Clark married Hulda Hall Abt 1824, NY. Hulda (daughter of Daniel Hall) was born Between 1801 and 1803, Herkimer, NY; died 19 Jun 1882, Lorraine, Jefferson, Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Huldah was "of Daniel, of Scriba, NY." In the 1850 Federal Census, she is living at Lorraine, Jefferson Co., NY, with her four youngest children. In the 1880 Federal Census, she is age 77, apparently living alone in Lorrraine (District 130), Jefferson Co., NY. Several other Remington families are nearby. According to the census data, she was born in NY but both of her parents were born in RI.

In the 1860 census, Huldah is age 59. With her is daughter Phebe Hitchcock and her family.

In 1880 she is still at Lorraine, NY. She is age 77 and living near by other Remingtons.

In the 1840 Federal Census, Johnathan Remington and family are listed at Lorraine, Jefferson Co., NY.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Jonathan & Dinah are living at Lorraine, Jefferson, NY. With them are son Thomas & daughter-in-law Ladorsa. Also there is Dinah Hall, but it is unclear who she is, particularly because her age is unclear. She may be a granddaughter or a niece. They are living near brother Noel Remington and family, and also near son Edmund and family .

In the 1860 Federal Census, J. Remington is 75 RI and his wife Dinah is 75 MA. They are still at Lorraine, Jefferson Co., NY. With them is Thomas 32 NY and his wife (Laury?) and their presumed daughter Mary 8 NY. They are near H. Remington 36 NY and his wife Nancy 32 NY and their son age 7 NY. This is probably the family of Noel's son Hiram.

From Town of Lorraine, Jefferson Co., NY, website: - "Settlement in the Town of Lorraine began in Nov 1802 . . . In 1804 the William and Isaac Lanfear, Asa and Aaron Brown, and Jonathan Remington families arrived. The first town meeting was held on 5 May 1805 at the house of John Alger in Lorraine village."

Jonathan married Dinah Hall Abt 1804. Dinah (daughter of George Hall and Rachel Briggs) was born 30 Mar 1785, Hancock, Berkshire Co., MA; died 1873, NY; was buried , NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Her name is written as Dinah on the 1850 Federal Census, but Diana in the town history (Child's Gazetteer of Jefferson County). In the 1870 Federal Census, Dinah is age 85, living with her son Thomas and family in Ellisburgh, Jefferson Co., NY.

Excerpted from Descendants of William Hall of Newport and Portsmouth, RI:
"Dinah HALL (3/30/1785, Hancock, MA-2/1871 Lorraine, NY) m. Jonathan REMINGTON (1/5/1784-5/2/1861). Dinah Hall married Jonathan Remington, the Jefferson County NY Journal called the Remington family, "A family of good old New England stock." The couple left Hancock, MA for the newly opened settlement in New York State called the Black River Wilderness territory. They were among the earliest settlers in early 1800, when the forest supplied the raw material and the axe was their principal tool! The couple chose the fertile land in the hill country for their homestead called Highland Farm. Jonathan was a prosperous farmer and Dinah was an expert at weaving along with knitting, her favorite was adding intricate patterns to the linen she had made. Jonathan was a volunteer in the War of 1812 along with his brother Noel and Dinah's brother, Thomas Hall. The couple lived out their long lives on Highland Farm in Lorraine, New York, having raised their 7 children to adult hood. The farm remained in the family for 4 generations, until it was sold in 1915."
