Laura E. Brockway

Laura — Mr. Harvey. [Group Sheet]

Lorenzo married Sylvia A. Remington Between 1850 and 1856. Sylvia (daughter of Rufus Remington and Rebecca Doty) was born Abt 1827, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Sylvia Remington is age 18 and living with her older brother John and his wife Laura and their son Passo, age 7 months. They are at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT, near their parents Rufus & Rebecca, as well as other family members.

In 1860 she is Sylvia A. Brockway, age 28 NY, living at Weston, Windsor Co., VT. She is a housekeeper in the home of William Foster. she has two daughters: Rebecca J. 3, & Laura E. 1. Also in the household is Martin Rose, 18, a farm laborer.

In the 1880 Federal Census, Sylvia A. Sprague, age 49, is a sister-in-law living with Ezekiel & Philena Hill at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT.

See note for Noah Solon Crowley.

The following is from a posting on the Remington message board at genealogy.com: "Sylvia Remington, daughter of Rufus Remington and Rebecca, lived in Tinmouth, VT. She married Jerry Doty, then Lorenzo Brockway, then Noah Solon Crowley. She is listed as mother to Leulla Brockway who married a Harvey." (by Fritzi Hardy)

Notes:

Rufus's gravestone give his years as 1792-1866.

The 1830 Federal Census shows Rufus Remington at Rodman, Jefferson Co., NY. The household consists of: 1 male <5, 3 males 5<10, 1 male 10<15, 1 male 30<40, 1 female <5, and 1 female 30<40.

The 1840 Federal Census at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT, lists Rufus Remmington Jr., Truman Remmington, Rufus Remmington, and Jonathan Remmington (age 20-30 OR age 60-70?) these last two listed and probably living next to each other. Is this Jonathan Rufus's son, and if so, who are the older individuals with him?

Amos Gorton, husband of Rhoda Remington, is also listed with the above Remingtons.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Rufus & Rebecca are both listed as age 60, living at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT, near Amos, Rufus Jr., and John J. B. Remington and their families. In the household is Rebecca, age 10. I am assuming she is their youngest.

In the Federal Census of 1860, Rufus & Rebecca, ages 65 & 63, are still at Wallingford. Next to them are John J. Remington and family.

Including Rufus in this family group as a son of Jonathan & Martha needs confirmation. I obtained this connection from Rootsweb's Worldconnect and other genealogies which have been sent to me. Information from subsequent generations was obtained from census data.

The 1850 census at Wallingford lists several other young adult Remingtons who may be children of this family: Octavia 22 (1828), Prudence and Amy 18 (1832), and Thankful 16 (1834).

Rufus married Rebecca Doty Abt 1814. Rebecca (daughter of Jorathmiel Doty and Sarah Look) was born 2 Sep 1796, Rochester, Plymouth Co., MA; died 27 Nov 1889, Wallingford, Rutland, VT; was buried , Doty Cemetery, South Wallingford, VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1870 Federal Census, R. Remington (female age 74) is living at Tinmouth, Rutland Co., VT, with Ezekiel & Filena Hill and their daughter Laura. I am assuming that Filena is Rebecca's daughter.

Pat Boyden's Remington genealogy says Rebecca died 27 Nov 1888. I have not verified her date of death.

War of 1812, Rebecca's pension no. 6521.

Notes:

Jonathan served in the Revolution from MA & VT. He enlisted at Cummington, MA.

His marriage to Martha was obtained from Rootsweb's Worldconnect, so needs verification to determine that it is the same Jonathan Remington. That genealogy lists 11 children for this couple. Other family notes I have seen agree.

I could not find his birth record at Abington, but Lois Remington Smith lists Jonathan with the children of Joshua & Ruth.

However, some genealogies have this Jonathan as a son of Thomas Remington b 1726 and his wife Rachel Stowell.

Also, others show his birthplace as Cummington, Hampshire Co., MA, and his death as c 1840 at Wallingford, VT.

The Federal Census of 1830 at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT lists a Jonathan Rimmington and a Jonathan Rimmington Jr. The household of the former includes 1 male age 70<80, 1 female 50>60; and three other females -- 1-40<50, 1-10<15, & 1-15<20.

In 1833 when he appeared for his pension hearing, he said he had lived in Wallingford for 51 years (since 1782).

The last pension payment was made 12 Sep 1834 (to his wife?).

Jonathan married Martha Sprague Abt 1786. Martha (daughter of Joseph Sprague and Mary Thompson) was born Abt 1765, Danby, Rutland, VT; died Abt Sep 1834. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

According to the gravestone, "Jerahmeel Doty" died at age 93 (from photo on website of Norman Charles Hill). He was in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.

He appears to be age 86 in the 1850 census (Jerathmun Doty).

Jorathmiel — Sarah Look. Sarah was born 1761, Rochester, Plymouth Co., MA; died 6 Aug 1842, Wallingford, VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Sarah died at age 81.
