Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, taken 7 Sept 1850 in Reading, Windsor Co., VT, Joseph & Eliza are residing there with their daughters Diane, Cornelia, Adelia, & Deoda.

Joseph married Eliza M. Gear May 1842, Woodstock, Windsor County, VT. Eliza was born 10 Sep 1821, Weybridge, Addison County, VT; died 19 Dec 1858, Hartford, Windsor County, VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Eliza may have been a daughter of George & Priscilla (Lamphire) Gear. (Source; Richard Husband, a descendant)

Notes:

Some genealogies show his year of birth as 1793. Also, apparently it is not certain who his parents were, although family tradition considers Jonathan & Sarah to be his parents.

Jonas married Asenath Remington Abt 1807, VT. Asenath (daughter of Joseph Remington, Jr. and Catherine "Caty" Wright) was born 9 Nov 1782, Hartland, Windsor County, VT; died 29 Mar 1869, Hartland, Windsor County, VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Information on Asenath's family and descendants came from Richard Husband, a descendant: OfoolIshallgomad@aol.com

Her birth is recorded in the Hartland Town Clerk's Office, Book 1:"Asenath Daughter of Joseph Remington by Catherine
his wife was born November the 9 Day 1782, Recorded June the 20th 1783 by Elias Weld Town Clerk." (research by Harry & Cathie Kivler)

Asenath appears to be in the 1850 Federal Census at age 67 living with her son Jonathan 39 at West Windsor, VT. However, Her name is given as Linea (?).

Jonathan married Sarah Francis Abt 1791. Sarah was buried , Sheddsville, Brownsville, VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

On 20 June 1757, Joseph's father was given a certificate from Portsmouth, RI, to live in Richmond, RI. It is my assumption that around that time the family moved from either Portsmouth or from Tiverton to the South County area -- perhaps Richmond, South Kingstown, or Hopkinton -- so that is where Joseph Jr was born. In the early 1760s the family moved back to Tiverton.

A Joseph Remington is in the 1790 Federal Census at Hartland, Windsor Co., VT. There is one free white male over 16 yrs. old, which would be Joseph himself. Also in the household are two free white males under 16, which would be Joseph, Jr. and Simon; and three white females -- presumably Joseph's wife Caty and daughter Asenath; who is the third female?

In the same town in 1790 is listed Simon Simmons, possibly Joseph's brother-in-law.

(above research notes from Richard Husband, a descendant)

Excerpt from Richard Husband's email: "The older Joseph Remington here of Wallingford was a totally different Joseph Remington than the one who married Caty Wright. After Caty died, Joseph married Sarah Kimpton (widow of Isaiah Streeter), and it seems pretty clear he always lived in Hartland from about 1781, when he bought land there, until his death. There are two sets of children and wives going on between the two, anyway, according to town records, that confirm they were different people. Some people confuse the Joseph Remington of Wallingford who married "Loranna" with our Joseph of Hartland, and mix the two Joseph's children up."

Joseph married Catherine "Caty" Wright 10 Apr 1782, Hartland, Windsor County, VT. Catherine was born Abt 1760; died 21 Dec 1798, Hartland, Windsor County, VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I have estimated Catherine's birth year. Her parentage is unknown.
