    Notes:

    Some information on Jerusha and her husband Oliver Allen came in an email from Wilfred Vasile, dated 28 Mar 2012. He references LeRoy (NY) Historical Society records, "Seymour Genealogy" p 89.

    See notes for Jerusha.

    Oliver married Jerusha Hopkins Remington 5 Dec 1822. Jerusha (daughter of Silas Remington, Sr. and Betsey Ross Geer) was born Abt 1801, VT; died 30 Dec 1878; was buried , Machpelah Cemetery, LeRoy, Genesee Co., NY. [Group Sheet]


  2. 7.  Jerusha Hopkins RemingtonJerusha Hopkins Remington was born Abt 1801, VT (daughter of Silas Remington, Sr. and Betsey Ross Geer); died 30 Dec 1878; was buried , Machpelah Cemetery, LeRoy, Genesee Co., NY.

    Notes:

    Some information on Jerusha and her husband Oliver Allen came in an email from Wilfred Vasile, dated 28 Mar 2012. He references LeRoy (NY) Historical Society records, "Seymour Genealogy" p 89. Additional information came from the 1850 census, where she is living next to Silas Remington; also from "Wheatland, Monroe County, New York: a brief sketch of its history" by George Engs Slocum, page 97 (Google Books online). With the census and the information from the book about Monroe County, I was able to determine that Jerusha is a sister of Silas and William.

    In the Federal Census of 1850, Jerusha Allen is age 49 VT, living at Wheatland, Monroe Co., NY. With her are daughter Elizabeth 25 NY, and son Oliver 26 NY, along with his wife Catharine 24 NY and their daughter Frances C. 1 NY. They are living/listed next to Silas Remington and family. I am assuming that Jerusha (Remington) Allen is his sister, based on the above-mentioned historical book, along with her age and birthplace as given in the census.

    In the Federal Census of 1860, she is J. H. Allen 60 VT (a domestic), living with her son Oliver and his family, at Wheatland, NY.

    Jerusha's middle initial is given as H in at least one census, and in the above-mentioned book by Slocum. Her middle name is given as Hopkins in "Landmarks of Monroe County, NY" by William F. Peck (1895), Part III, p. 80 - 81.

    Children:
    1. Oliver Allen, Jr. was born Sep 1823, Mumford, Monroe Co., NY; died 1903.
    2. 3. Elizabeth Allen was born 31 Dec 1825; died 7 Feb 1910; was buried , Machpelah Cemetery, LeRoy, Genesee Co., NY.

    Children:
    1. 6. Oliver Allen, Sr. was born 4 Jan 1798, Pittsfield, MA; died 10 Nov 1848; was buried , Machpelah Cemetery, LeRoy, Genesee Co., NY.

  3. 14.  Silas Remington, Sr. was born 25 Feb 1776, Suffield, Hartford, CT (son of Thomas Remington and Mary Remington); died 29 Jun 1818, Canandaigua, Ontario Co., NY; was buried , Hunn Memorial Cemetery, Canandaigua, NY.

    Notes:

    On 28 Nov 1793, John Kittridge of Chesterfield, MA, was appointed guardian of Silas Remington, aged 17 years, of Suffield, CT. Silas is probably the Silas Remmington in the 1800 census at Rupert, VT, along with his brother Thomas. Both of these brothers had sons named Silas, born in VT.

    Vermont Gazette, 10 February 1806; Bennington, Vermont: "Silas Remington of Reupert [sic.], is now confined to Bennington jail, on execution of a judgement in favor of Samuel Dinsmer of Rupert. He is to show cause why petitioner should not be allowed to take the oath prescribed by law for the relief of prisoners."

    Federal Census of 1810 lists Silas Remington at Rupert, along with Thomas.

    From "STATE OF VERMONT ROSTER OF SOLDIERS IN THE WAR OF 1812-14," prepared and published under the direction of Herbert T. Johnson, 1933, page 351: "Silas Remington, Surgeon's Mate, Rupert, Bennington Co., Vt. Served in Capt. Hopkins' Company, Col. Martindale's Regt. Detached Militia in U.S. service 2 months and 13 days, 1812. Served from June 15, 1814 to June 19, 1815 in Capt. Taylor's Company, 30th Inf. Pension Certificate of widow, Margaret, No. 39717."

    Is Betsey the same wife as Margaret? See notes for Betsey.

    Silas married Betsey Ross Geer Abt Dec 1793. Betsey (daughter of Elijah Geer and Elizabeth Margaret Ross) was born 7 Sep 1774, NY; died 1863, NY. [Group Sheet]


  4. 15.  Betsey Ross Geer was born 7 Sep 1774, NY (daughter of Elijah Geer and Elizabeth Margaret Ross); died 1863, NY.

    Notes:

    Her surname may have been Greer. Elsewhere her middle name is given as Rose. The name of her mother as Elizabeth Margaret Ross came from Tom Lavery's data at Rootsweb's Worldconnect.

    See notes for Silas, in which pension mentions wife as Margaret.

    Paul Remington's online genealogy says this couple had only two daughters.

    Betsey is said to be of Chesterfield, CT, in "Landmarks of Monroe County, NY" by William F. Peck (1895), Part III, p. 80 - 81.
