In the 1860 Federal Census, Justus B. & Eliza A. Remington, ages 44 & 32, are living at Schroon, Essex Co., NY. They have two sons: Charley 4, and Justus B. 1 month. Also in the household are Joshua Remington, 70 (assumed to be father of Justus), Helen Davis 8 (probably a niece), and Orange Remington, 20. They are living next to brother Zeba (Ziba) Remington and family, and also Henry Remington and family.

In 1870 J. & Eliza A. Remington, ages 53 & 41, are still living at at Schroon, NY. They have two children: Clarissa 14, & Justice Jr., 10. I believe Clarissa should be Charles, their son. Also with them is Hellen Davis, 18. The family is living near Orange & Sarah Remington.

In 1880 Justus & Eliza are ages 63 & 61, and are still at Schroon, NY. Son Justus Jr., age 20, is still with them. They are next to Charley & Cora Remington and two dwellings away from Orange & Jane Remington and family.

I think Orange may be a son of Justus from a first marriage. (This has since been confirmed by Valorie Sherman.) In 1850, there is a Mary Remington, age 14 VT, and Orange Remington, age 10 NY, living with the Davis family at Bolton, Warren Co., NY. Justus's two sisters were living there, both having married a Davis.

Justus married Eliza Ann Bentley Abt 1855. Eliza was born Nov 1828, VT; died 31 Dec 1923, Johnsburg, Warren Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1910 Federal Census, Eliza A. Remington is age 81 and widowed, living at Horicon, Warren Co., NY, with her widowed brother-in-law Ziba Remington and (probably son) Jetta (Justus?) Remington, age 49.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Joshua Remington, Jr., appears to be age 54 and living in Danby, Rutland, VT. His wife is not there, so apparently she has passed away. In the household are son Hosea, and Hulda, assumed to be Hosea's wife, and their two young children.

In the 1860 Federal Census, Joshua Remington is age 70 and living at Schroon, Essex Co., NY, with his son Justus and family.

In 1870, Joshua is age 80 and living with son Ziba and family at Horicon, Warren Co., NY.

One local history says he was born about 1790. It also states that he lived at Wallingford and Hinesburg, VT, and in later years at Huntington. (source: "New England Families" Vol. I, Genealogies and Memorials, p. 381)

The name of Joshua's wife, as well as a list of some of his children, came from "New England Families" Vol. I, Genealogies and Memorials, p. 381. Also, her name, and birth/death dates for Polly & Joshua, are found in the book "Descendants of Roger Williams" Book III, Sayles Line, p. 203. This source says Joshua was born c1790 at Wall, VT.

"History of Worcester Co., MA" p 98 says he married Diadama (source: Google Books). Rootsweb's Worldconnect has a family tree showing Joshua's second wife as Diademia Clark, date of marriage 1 June 1835.

Joshua married Polly Sayles Abt 1812. Polly (daughter of Ezekiel Sayles, Jr. and Martha Ross) was born 5 Mar 1790, Wallingford, Rutland, VT; died 25 May 1834, Hinesburg, Chittenden, VT; was buried , Newell Stokes, Starksboro, Addison Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The book "Descendants of Roger Williams" Book III, Sayles Line, p. 203, says Polly died at Starksboro, VT.

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]

Notes:

Martha was d/o Joseph.

Notes:

The book "Descendants of Roger Williams" Book III, Sayles Line, p. 203, gives the marriage date as 7 Nov 1779.
