Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.)

In 1850, Loyal is age 19, a laborer living in Starksborough, Addison Co., VT. He is also listed again in the same town with his parents and siblings as age 18 (my assumption that this is the same individual). In 1860 he is married to Sarah, and they are living in Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT. In 1870 they are at Williston, Chittenden Co., VT; their children Orvis 9, & Martha 8, are in the home. In 1880 they are living in Westford, Chittenden Co., VT. Their children are Orvis 19, Martha 11, & Fred 4.

In the 1900 Federal Census, Loyal Remington is age 69 and widowed, living at Essex, Chittenden Co., VT, with his son Orvis and family. In 1910 he is still there, age 81.

Loyal was in the Civil War, enlisting at Essex, VT, as a Private in the Vermont 2nd Infantry, 1861 - 1862.

Loyal married Sarah A. Nichols 10 Feb 1859, Essex, Chittenden Co., VT. Sarah was born Between 1834 and 1835, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

1. Orvis J. Remington was born Sep 1860, VT; died Aft 1 Jan 1920.
2. Martha (1) Remington was born Abt 1862, VT.
3. Martha (2) Remington was born Abt 1869, VT.
4. Fred J. Remington was born Abt 1876, VT.

Notes:

Joel appears to be in the 1830 Federal Census at Huntington, Chittenden, VT, with a wife and young daughter, age 5 - 10. He is living in the same town as his brothers Jeremiah and Stephen.

Another genealogy has his date of death as 28 Dec 1832.

One family tree has a daughter Emily born in 1826, but there is only one daughter found in the 1830 census.

Joel married Martha "Patty" Sayles Abt 1824. Martha (daughter of Ezekiel Sayles, Jr. and Martha Ross) was born 10 Aug 1801, VT; died 24 Mar 1868, VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census she is Patty Remington; in 1860 she is Martha Remington. Patty was the common nickname for Martha years ago.

The list of Joshua's children and their birth dates is given quite differently in different sources. I have not personally confirmed the list which I have on this tree, but have used various sources to compile the family group. See my notes for the individual children and their families, which I have researched.

According to his affadavit, Joshua may have been born in Hingham c1760, but the birth was recorded in Abington. Lois Remington Smith mentions his baptism record at Hingham on 14 Sept 1760, but birth record at Abington dated 1 Nov 1760. Gretchen Paulsen has provided information that he was born 9 Sep 1760, and his gravestone inscription reads "died 1855 age 95 years."

Joshua Remington, Jr. was a soldier in the Revolutionary War (VT) and was "present at the Battle of Bennington. He was in Captain Nathan Harwood's company, Colonel John Dickinson's regiment, the roll of which was sworn to in Chesterfield, New Hampshire. He was also in Captain Joseph Clapp's company, and Colonel Israel Chapin's regiment (Third Massachusetts) in the fall of 1779 and marched to reinforce the northern army. He settled in Wallingford, Vermont, in 1780, and saw further service there in a Vermont regiment . . . Joshua and Uriah were both in Captain Stafford's company, colonel Ebenezer Allen's regiment of Vermont militia in October, 1780, June, 1781, and again in 1780 in Captain Orange Train's company, Colonel Lee's regiment; also in Captain John Sprague's company, Colonel Gideon Warren's regiment, 1780-81." (source: "New England Families" Vol. I, Genealogies and Memorials, p. 381)

Joshua was placed on the pension roll of Chittendon County, VT, in 1832 for service as a private in the MA militia.

According to Boyd Scott Remington's ancestry chart, Joshua was baptised on 14 Sept 1760. He later lived in Wallingford, and died in Huntington, VT. Elsewhere I have seen that he may have been born 1 Nov 1760 (no source documentation). However, "New England Families," Vol. I, p. 381, says he was born in Nov 1759.

According to "Genealogical and Family History of Western New York" by William Richard Cutter, p. 978, Joshua moved to Rutland County, VT . . . He lived at Wallington."

In the 1790 Federal Census, a Joshua Remington is living at Danby, Rutland, VT. Besides Joshua, the household includes three white males under 16 and six free white females. Most likely the sons are Samuel, Jeremiah, & another unknown son before that time.

He is likely the Joshua Remington listed in the 1810 Federal Census at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT: 1 FWM<10, 1 FWM 10-15, 1 FWM 45+, 1 FWF 10-15, 1 FWF 16 - 25, 1 FWF 45+; total 6.

He may have lived for a while at Hinesburg, VT, where he bought real estate on 19 Sept 1818, and sold it to his son 28 Aug 1819, returning to Wallingford or Huntington. (source: "New England Families" Vol. I, Genealogies and Memorials, p. 381)

In the 1850 Federal Census, Joshua is age 90, living with his son Jeremiah and family at Huntington, Chittenden, VT.

Joshua Remington is a DAR Patriot.

Joshua married Eunice Unknown Abt 1782. Eunice was born 1758; died 26 Jul 1834, Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT; was buried , Center Cemetery, Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Eunice was the widow of Jeremiah Griffiths. It has been speculated that her maiden name may have been Burr.

Pat Boyden's genealogy report has Eunice's dates as follows: 26 July 1758 - 26 July 1831 (this needs more research).

Notes:

According to the book "Descendants of Roger Williams" Book III, Sayles Line, p. 203, "Ezekiel was known to have had a farm in Wallingford, Rutland County, VT, by 1810."

Ezekiel & Martha had 12 children, including a set of twins. (see above book for details)

Ezekiel married Martha Ross Abt 7 Mar 1779, Glocester, RI. Martha (daughter of Joseph Ross) was born Abt 1762. [Group Sheet]

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein. Some of the information on this family came from Lois Remington Smith in "A Remington Family History.")

Joshua Remington, Sr. was a soldier in the Revolutionary War.

The family moved from Abington, MA, to Cummington, MA, sometime between 1772 and 1776. Joshua's three lots in northwest Cummington are in the area known as Remington's Hill (also called Bryant Mt., after the poet William Cullen Bryant who was born in Cummington).

In 1780 there was a controversy concerning Joshua Remington in the local church, in which his name appears in the church records quite a bit. Among other accusations was that he was causing schisms in the church by his charges against the pastor.

Joshua and family are in the 1800 census, but not the 1810. His son Benjamin was appointed Administrator of Joshua's estate on 15 Oct 1811 (Probate records of Northampton, Hampshire Co., MA).

Lois Remington Smith has noted his date of death as Sep 1811.

Joshua married Ruth Clay Abt 1754. Ruth was born Abt 1734; died Aft 1800. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Ruth's surname may have been Clay, Clap, Cary, or Clary.

Ezekiel married Anne Unknown Bef Sep 1753. [Group Sheet]
