I am not sure which is his first name. In the 1860 census he is Rufus, but in the 1870 census he is Edmund. It appears to be the same family group in every other way.

In 1880 he is Rufus E. Remington, and his wife is Ruth C (?). They have three children and are living with Rufus's parents, Allen & Susan Remington, At Ellisburgh, Jefferson Co., NY.

In the Federal Census of 1 June 1900, Rufus E. & Ruth are at Sandy Creek, Oswego Co., NY. They have two daughters, Dora 20 & Kate 7.

In the Federal Census of 1 Jan 1920, Rufus & Ruth Remington are living on North Ridge Road in Sandy Creek, Oswego Co., NY. Their widowed daughter-in-law Leona and family are also in Sandy Creek.

In 1920 he is still at Sandy Creek, a widower age 79, listed as father-in-law living with Ward E. & Kate R. Crandall and their two sons.

Rufus married Ruth Pierce Abt 1875. Ruth was born Aug 1855, Richland, NY; died Aft 1 Jan 1920. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Allen's second wife was Alma (Unknown). Allen and his brother Thomas settled at Ellisburgh, Jefferson Co., NY.

In both the 1860 and the 1870 Federal Census, Allen & Susan are living at Ellisburgh with their children Edmund & Mary. However, in 1860 their son is listed as Rufus (same estimated year of birth).

In the Federal Census of 1880, Allen & Susan are living at Ellisburgh, NY. With them are son Earl, and son Rufus and family.

Allen married Susan M. Shoecraft Abt 1850, NY. Susan was born 28 Dec 1829, Boylston, Oswego Co., New York; died 16 Aug 1886, NY; was buried , Maplewood Cemetery, Mannsville, NY. [Group Sheet]

In the 1840 Federal Census, Johnathan Remington and family are listed at Lorraine, Jefferson Co., NY.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Jonathan & Dinah are living at Lorraine, Jefferson, NY. With them are son Thomas & daughter-in-law Ladorsa. Also there is Dinah Hall, but it is unclear who she is, particularly because her age is unclear. She may be a granddaughter or a niece. They are living near brother Noel Remington and family, and also near son Edmund and family .

In the 1860 Federal Census, J. Remington is 75 RI and his wife Dinah is 75 MA. They are still at Lorraine, Jefferson Co., NY. With them is Thomas 32 NY and his wife (Laury?) and their presumed daughter Mary 8 NY. They are near H. Remington 36 NY and his wife Nancy 32 NY and their son age 7 NY. This is probably the family of Noel's son Hiram.

From Town of Lorraine, Jefferson Co., NY, website: - "Settlement in the Town of Lorraine began in Nov 1802 . . . In 1804 the William and Isaac Lanfear, Asa and Aaron Brown, and Jonathan Remington families arrived. The first town meeting was held on 5 May 1805 at the house of John Alger in Lorraine village."

Jonathan married Dinah Hall Abt 1804. Dinah (daughter of George Hall and Rachel Briggs) was born 30 Mar 1785, Hancock, Berkshire Co., MA; died 1873, NY; was buried , NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Her name is written as Dinah on the 1850 Federal Census, but Diana in the town history (Child's Gazetteer of Jefferson County). In the 1870 Federal Census, Dinah is age 85, living with her son Thomas and family in Ellisburgh, Jefferson Co., NY.

Excerpted from Descendants of William Hall of Newport and Portsmouth, RI:
"Dinah HALL (3/30/1785, Hancock, MA-2/1871 Lorraine, NY) m. Jonathan REMINGTON (1/5/1784-5/2/1861). Dinah Hall married Jonathan Remington, the Jefferson County NY Journal called the Remington family, "A family of good old New England stock." The couple left Hancock, MA for the newly opened settlement in New York State called the Black River Wilderness territory. They were among the earliest settlers in early 1800, when the forest supplied the raw material and the axe was their principal tool! The couple chose the fertile land in the hill country for their homestead called Highland Farm. Jonathan was a prosperous farmer and Dinah was an expert at weaving along with knitting, her favorite was adding intricate patterns to the linen she had made. Jonathan was a volunteer in the War of 1812 along with his brother Noel and Dinah's brother, Thomas Hall. The couple lived out their long lives on Highland Farm in Lorraine, New York, having raised their 7 children to adult hood. The farm remained in the family for 4 generations, until it was sold in 1915."
