Silas married Sarah J. McCabe 25 Nov 1886. Sarah was born 25 Jun 1858, East Arcade, Wyoming Co., NY; died 20 Jan 1919, Hornell, Steuben Co., NY; was buried , St. Ann's Cemetery, Hornell, NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Silas & Louisa ("Lovica") are living at Wheatland, Monroe Co., NY, with their children Sarah 17 & Silas H. 10. Silas, age 44 b. VT, is a manufacturer, and his property is valued at $600. They are living a few doors down from his brother William and family. Next door is Jerusha Allen and her family; I believe she is a sister of William and Silas.

In 1860 the family is still at Wheatland: Silas 52 VT woolen manufacturer, Lovica 53 NY weaver, Sarah E. 27 NY teacher, and Silas H. 19 laborer.

In the Federal Census of 1870, "Sylas" & "Lavina" both aged 63 are still living at Wheatland, NY. With them is Elvira, 21.

Some information on Silas, including his dob, birthplace, marriage, and children, came from a descendant, Thomas Frederick Remington III. This information was compiled by Thomas from a family Bible in the possession of Carolyn Kelly as of 15 August 2003.

Silas married Lovica "Louisa" Hovey 17 Jun 1830. Lovica was born 13 Nov 1806, Lima, Livingston Co., NY; died 24 Apr 1880, Mumford, Monroe Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Her name is written in the censuses as Lovica (twice) and Lovina (once). A family Bible record has her name as Louisa.

Notes:

On 28 Nov 1793, John Kittridge of Chesterfield, MA, was appointed guardian of Silas Remington, aged 17 years, of Suffield, CT. Silas is probably the Silas Remmington in the 1800 census at Rupert, VT, along with his brother Thomas. Both of these brothers had sons named Silas, born in VT.

Vermont Gazette, 10 February 1806; Bennington, Vermont: "Silas Remington of Reupert [sic.], is now confined to Bennington jail, on execution of a judgement in favor of Samuel Dinsmer of Rupert. He is to show cause why petitioner should not be allowed to take the oath prescribed by law for the relief of prisoners."

Federal Census of 1810 lists Silas Remington at Rupert, along with Thomas.

From "STATE OF VERMONT ROSTER OF SOLDIERS IN THE WAR OF 1812-14," prepared and published under the direction of Herbert T. Johnson, 1933, page 351: "Silas Remington, Surgeon's Mate, Rupert, Bennington Co., Vt. Served in Capt. Hopkins' Company, Col. Martindale's Regt. Detached Militia in U.S. service 2 months and 13 days, 1812. Served from June 15, 1814 to June 19, 1815 in Capt. Taylor's Company, 30th Inf. Pension Certificate of widow, Margaret, No. 39717."

Is Betsey the same wife as Margaret? See notes for Betsey.

Silas married Betsey Ross Geer Abt Dec 1793. Betsey (daughter of Elijah Geer and Elizabeth Margaret Ross) was born 7 Sep 1774, NY; died 1863, NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Her surname may have been Greer. Elsewhere her middle name is given as Rose. The name of her mother as Elizabeth Margaret Ross came from Tom Lavery's data at Rootsweb's Worldconnect.

See notes for Silas, in which pension mentions wife as Margaret.

Paul Remington's online genealogy says this couple had only two daughters.

Betsey is said to be of Chesterfield, CT, in "Landmarks of Monroe County, NY" by William F. Peck (1895), Part III, p. 80 - 81.
