3. Linda Remington
4. Elizabeth Remington
5. Vicki Remington

Notes:

In the 1880 Federal Census his name appears as Harrold R. Wolfendole, and his mother as N. P. Wolfendole, age 23, married. Both are living with her parents, Jeremiah & Hannah Remington. His father may have left or died while he was very young and so he later took his mother's maiden name, Remington. Or, he may have been raised by his grandparents (needs more research).

In the 1930 Federal Census, Harold's family is living at 34 County Rd. in Barrington, RI.

Cause of death: cerebral thrombosis.

Harold married Matilda Pearl Ridgeway Between 1916 and 1917. Matilda (daughter of Thomas Ridgeway and Margaret Lewis) was born 2 Jan 1888, Providence, RI; died 19 Mar 1978, Newport, RI; was buried , Swan Point Cemetery, Providence, RI. [Group Sheet]

Cause of death: coronary.

James married Nellie P. Remington 9 Mar 1876, RI. Nellie (daughter of Jeremiah Short Remington and Hannah Maria Palmer) was born 6 May 1857, Providence, RI; died 3 Apr 1942; was buried , Swan Point Cemetery, Providence, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Nellie is in the 1880 Federal Census as N. R. Wolfendale with her infant son Harold, living in Providence, RI, with her parents.

Nellie P. Remington married Lewis N. Fidler, on 8 Feb 1887. As her maiden name was used for this second marriage, I am not sure whether she was divorced, or whether her first husband died.

The RI Cemetery Database has her date of birth as 22 April 1857. However, the Providence City Records have it recorded as 6 May 1857.

Thomas — Margaret Lewis. [Group Sheet]

The RI Cemetery Database gives Jeremiah's date of birth as 6 Feb 1827, and notes the cause of death as "malignant growth of throat."
