Walter Augustus Remington

Notes:

I am making an assumption that the George W. Remington b. 1855 at Providence, RI, s/o Daniel & Caroline, is the same George W. Remington b.c.1855 in the 1880 Federal Census at Providence, RI, the head of the household for this family group. However, the census says George's parents were both born in RI, but Caroline was probably born in MA. (needs more research to confirm)

Also living with the family in 1880 is Almie's sister, Lizzie Chapman, age 14.

George married Almira "Almie" Hibbard Chapman 21 Sep 1876. Almira was born Abt Apr 1854, RI; died 9 Mar 1931, Providence, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I am assuming Almie's maiden name was Chapman, because in 1880 the family has a sister-in-law Lizzie Chapman, 14, living with them at Providence, RI. Almie's name is given as Alma in one of her children's birth records.

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Daniel S. & Caroline E. are living in Providence, Ward 5, with an infant son. In 1860 the family is in Ward 6, Providence, with 4 children.

He is probably the D. S. Remington, Adjutant, RI Vets Assoc. in 1881 and other years.

Daniel S. Remington was in the Civil War, RI 7th Infantry, Battalion CGB. He was First Lieutenant and Captain, and commanded Company C in 1865.

See this excerpt from "History of Providence County, Rhode Island, Vol. I," Ed. Richard M. Bayles, NY: W. W. Preston & Co., 1891, p. 208 ff: "There remained still in the field Companies B, D and G of the re-enlisted veterans of the 4th Rhode Island, and the recruits belonging to the Seventh, whose term of service had not expired. These, by special order of the war department, were formed into a battalion of three companies, to be known as 'Battalion Seventh Rhode Island Volunteers'. This organization was continued until July 13th, 1865, when the battalion was mustered out of service near Alexandria, VA. The men, about 200 in number, returned to Providence under the command of Captain Caleb T. Bowen, with Adjutant George B. Costello and Surgeon C. G. Corey. The other commissioned officers were Captain Daniel S. Remington and Lieutenant A. R. Collins, Company B; Captain Winthrop A. Moore and Lieutenant Merchant Weeden, Company D; Lieutenant C. Goffe, Company G. The battalion reached Providence at 3 o'clock Wednesday morning, July 17th, and was refreshed with a bountiful breakfast, prepared by direction of Captain Crandall."

Daniel married Caroline Elizabeth Yerrington 24 Mar 1850, Providence, RI. Caroline (daughter of James Brown Yerrington and Phebe Boyd) was born 20 Apr 1831, MA; died 15 Sep 1910, Boston, MA; was buried , North Burial Ground, Providence, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Caroline was "of James of Jamestown."

From the records of the First Baptist Church of Providence, RI: Mrs. Caroline E. (Yerrington) Remington Feb. 29, 1844, L (letter?) Nov. 21, 1878, Er (?) Descendant of Chad Brown. W. of Daniel S.

Notes:

BSR's Remington Ancestry Chart has Enoch's date of birth as 1 January 1795. Perhaps that was a baptism? Unfortunately, neither BSR or M. Benns gives any sources notes.

The RI Cemetery Database says 1792. Cause of death is noted as sunstroke.

Enoch married Phebe Short 13 Nov 1814, Barrington, RI. Phebe (daughter of John Short and Betsey Scott) was born 9 Apr 1797, Barrington, RI; died 31 Jul 1870, Providence, RI; was buried , Swan Point Cemetery, Providence, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

BSR gives her date of birth as 17 April 1797. RI Cemetery Database says she died of dropsy.

Notes:

BSR gives the date of marriage as 13 March 1814.

James married Phebe Boyd 1825. Phebe was born Abt 1803. [Group Sheet]
