Generation: 3

  1. 4.  Dennis H. Remington was born Between 1831 and 1835, Rutland Co., VT (son of Truman Remington and Jane Bell); died Aug 1895, Chetopa, Labette Co., KS.

    Notes:

    In the 1870 Federal Census, his name is written as David or Daniel Remington (with a middle initial -- possibly H or G?). They are at Hackberry, Labette Co., KS. In 1870 they have two sons, Warren 4, and B. F. Butler 2. It is rather faint and difficult to read.

    In the 1880 Federal Census, the family is still at Hackberry. The name is unclear -- Dennis? David? Daniel? They have three sons: Warren 14, Butler 12, and Blucher 12. Jane Cassford, "mother," age 70 Canada, is with them. It appears that Jane could be the mother of Prudence, because Jane was born in Canada, and the birthplace of Prudence's mother is given as Canada in the census data.

    In both 1870 and 1880, Dennis's birthplace is given as VT. Prudence and all three boys were born in IL.

    Prudence and Dennis may have been cousins.

    Dennis H. Remington was listed as from Hampshire, IL, in the 8th Reg't Illinois during the Civil War.

    The 1860 Federal Census has a Dennis Remington of the correct age living at Oberlin, Ohio, but he is married to Matilda and has two children, Ida 2 and Azael (?) 4. This Matilda appears to be a single mother living at a boarding house in 1870. There is also a Matilda Remington of the same age, a housewife, listed at a lunatic asylum in Ohio.

    Dennis married Prudence Bell Abt 1865. Prudence (daughter of Henry Gale Bell and Charlotte DeWitt) was born Feb 1846, IL; died Nov 1900, Chetopa, Labette Co., KS. [Group Sheet]


  2. 5.  Prudence Bell was born Feb 1846, IL (daughter of Henry Gale Bell and Charlotte DeWitt); died Nov 1900, Chetopa, Labette Co., KS.

    Notes:

    Prudence Bell as the wife of Dennis Remington came from Sandy Zagarella in a posting at Rootsweb's Remington mailing list/message board. (quote from Sandy: "I have the marriage cert. for Dennis Remington and Prudence and her last name is Bell.")

    In the Federal Census of 1900, Prudence Remington is age 54 and a widow, living at Hackberry, Labette Co., KS. Her three sons and their families are with her and/or next door.

    Children:
    1. Warren William Remington was born Apr 1866, IL; died Aft 15 Apr 1910; was buried , Lake Creek Cemetery, Bartlett, Labette Co., KS.
    2. B. F. Butler Remington was born Oct 1867, IL; died 7 Mar 1927, Chetopa, Labette Co., KS; was buried , Lake Creek Cemetery, Bartlett, Labette Co., KS.
    3. 2. Blucher Remington was born 17 Nov 1869, Chetopa, Labette Co., KS; died 29 Oct 1936, Chetopa, Labette Co., KS; was buried , Lake Creek Cemetery, Bartlett, Labette Co., KS.


Generation: 4

  1. 8.  Truman Remington was born 28 Feb 1808, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT (son of Jonathan Remington and Martha Sprague); died 13 Feb 1859.

    Notes:

    It appears in the 1830 census that Truman Remington is married and has three daughters under age five. The family is living at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT.

    In 1840 the family is still at Wallingford. He is listed near Amos Gorton, Rufus Remington, and Jonathan Remington. It appears that there are three sons and two daughters in the household.

    Octavia Remington 22 VT and Prudence Remington 18 VT, living at Wallingford, VT, in the 1850 census, could possibly be Truman's daughters.

    Truman married Jane Bell 1828, Rutland Co., VT. Jane (daughter of Ralph Randolph Wheelock Bell and Desire Reynolds) was born Abt 1810, NY or Canada; died Aft 1 Jun 1870. [Group Sheet]


  2. 9.  Jane Bell was born Abt 1810, NY or Canada (daughter of Ralph Randolph Wheelock Bell and Desire Reynolds); died Aft 1 Jun 1870.

    Notes:

    In the Federal Census of 1880, Jane Cassford, 70, is listed as "mother" in the household of Dennis (David/Daniel?) & Prudence Remington, at Hackberry, Labette Co., KS.

    Children:
    1. 4. Dennis H. Remington was born Between 1831 and 1835, Rutland Co., VT; died Aug 1895, Chetopa, Labette Co., KS.
    2. Horace Remington was born 1840, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT; died Aug 1862, Washington, DC; was buried , Washington, DC.

  3. 10.  Henry Gale Bell was born Abt 1808, NY (son of Ralph Randolph Wheelock Bell and Desire Reynolds); died Aft 1 Jun 1880.

    Notes:

    In the Federal Census of 1860, Henry J. & "Sharlott" Bell are living at Hampshire, Kane Co., IL, with their seven children. Prudence is 18.

    I have made an assumption that this is the family of Prudence Bell who married Dennis H. Remington. The age and state of birth agree.

    Henry — Charlotte DeWitt. Charlotte was born Abt 1816, MI or Canada; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]


  4. 11.  Charlotte DeWitt was born Abt 1816, MI or Canada; died Aft 1 Jun 1880.
