I have made an assumption that Orange is a son of Justus, based on the following census information.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Orange is age 10 and living at Bolton, Warren Co., NY, with Susanna Davis, age 73, and other members of the Davis family. I think the two Davis wives nearby are his aunts, Esther & Ann (Remington) Davis. Also there is Mary Remington, age 14, who I am assuming is Orange's sister.

In 1860 Orange is age 20, living with Justus B. Remington and family at Schroon, Essex Co., NY. Also there is Joshua Remington, presumably Orange's grandfather.

In 1870 Orange is 29 and married to Sarah, age 33. They have a son, Henry F., age 3, and are still living at Schroon, near Justus & Eliza.

In 1880 they are still at Schroon. Orange is 45, and his wife, called Jane, is 41. They have three children: Henry 13, Cora 7, & Mary 10 (adopted).

In 1900 Orange & Sarah J. Remington are living at 22 Morton St., Glens Falls, NY. The census gives their birth dates as Jul 1856 & May 1850, but those are undoubtedly incorrect.

In 1910 Orange & Sarah Remington are ages 70 & 72, living at 14 Morton St., Glens Falls, Warren Co., NY. They are living with married son Henry and his wife Anna and their three children: Orange, Sarah, & Bertha. According to the census data, Orange & Sarah have had four children, one of whom is still living.

In 1920 Orange & Sarah J. are ages 79 & 82. They are still living at 14 Morton St. Also in the household are their son Henry 52 , his wife Anna 42, and their daughter Bertha 19; also their married daughter Sarah Allen and her husband Herbert, and their two young children.

According to the data in some censuses, both of Orange's parents were born in NY. However, the 1920 census says they were born in VT.

In the 1930 Federal Census, Orange is listed as "Orin." He is widowed, age 89, and living with son Henry and daughter-in-law Anna on Wilmot Street, Glens Falls (Queensbury), Warren Co., NY.

From a posting by Valorie Sherman, Remington Message Board at genealogy.com: "Orange, a Civil War veteran, enlisted in 1862; was living with his grandmother Susannah Rounds Davis on 1855 census, Bolton, Warren, New York."

The following obituary is courtesy of Valorie Sherman:

The Glens Falls Post Star , 11 Apr 1932

"Orange Remington, 91, a Civil War veteran, died Saturday morning at the home of his son; Henry Remington, 18 Wilmot Street. Besides the son mentioned, Mr. Remington is survived by two grandchildren, Mrs. Bernard Oddy, and Mrs. Herbert Allen, and 13 great grandchildren.

"Mr. Remington served for three years in the Civil War, and was a member of the E. M. Wing post, 147, G. A. R., having the distinction of being the oldest living member at the time of his death. He enlisted as a Private on August 11, 1862, at the age of 22, and was assigned to Company D, 118th Regiment, New York Infantry, receiving his discharge on May 29, 1865, at Richmond, Va.

"Funeral services will be conducted at 1 o'clock this afternoon at the home by the Rev. A. J. Allen, pastor of the Wesleyan Methodist Church. Burial will be in the Leggett Cemetery, Chestertown."

Orange married Sarah Jane Brown 1863. Sarah was born 17 Oct 1834; died 4 Dec 1920, Glens Falls, Warren Co., NY; was buried , Leggett Cemetery, Chester, NY. [Group Sheet]

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 Orinda Calpurnia Davis Abt 1836, VT. Orinda (daughter of Luther Davis and Susanna Rounds) was born 1818, Hinesburgh, Huntington Co., VT; died 26 Dec 1842, Bolton, Warren Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

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.
