1. Louise Blanche Merrill was born 5 Aug 1917, Portland, ME; was buried , Cousins Island Cemetery, Yarmouth, ME.

William married Etta Blanche Remington 17 Jan 1891, Pawtucket, RI. Etta (daughter of William Penn Remington and Julia Ann Merrill) was born 29 Apr 1872, Manchester, NH. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

According to Michael Edward Remington's genealogy, Blanche E. Remington was born 29 Apr 1873. However, she is age 8 in the 1880 Federal Census, which makes 1872 a possible birth year. Since Alice's birth year is given as 1873 in the 1900 Federal Census, I have changed Blanche's to 1872 (pending further research).

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.)

In the 1880 Federal Census, William P. & Julia Remington are living at Pawtucket, Providence Co., RI. They have four children: Etta B. 8, Alice M. 6, William L. 3, & Arthur E. 2.

In the 1900 Federal Census, the family is still living in Pawtucket, RI, at 44 Newberry St. William is 53, Julia is 47, Alice is 26, William is 24, and Arthur is 22. Their birth months and years are given, also.

In the 1910 Federal Census, William P., Julia A., and the two sons and daughters-in-law, as well as three grandchildren, are living together at Manchester, Hillsborough Co., NH.

In 1930 the family is at Manchester, NH, as follows (all surname Remington): Noris 51 RI, Laverna 42 MA, Walter 24 NH, Harold 22 NH, William J. 4 and 3/12 NH (says son but he is their grandson), Penn 82 MA (father), and Julia 82 MA (mother).

Ancestry.com's Pawtucket City Directories 1890-1892 lists the following: "William P. Remington, S. B. Havens & Co.'s, driver, house 20 Elm." This is undoubtedly William Penn Remington (see his occupation in the 1880 census). His employer was S. B. Havens & Co., Restaurant, Caterers and Confectioners, 176 Main Street. This was "the largest catering, confectionery and restaurant business in Pawtucket" [RI].

William married Julia Ann Merrill 1871. Julia (daughter of Stillman J. Merrill and Sophronia Harriman) was born 26 Feb 1853, Goffstown, NH; died 27 Sep 1932, NH. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Michael Edward Remington's genealogy has her birth year as 1854; the 1900 census says 1853.

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes on William & Emily Remington and/or their descendants, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.)

In the 1850 Federal Census, William & Emily are living at Blackstone, Worcester Co., MA. They have one son, William P., 3.

In the 1860 Federal census, William & Emily are ages 44 & 43, living at Burrillville, Providence Co., RI. With them are William J. (P?) Remington 13, and Walter S. Remington, 1.

In the 1870 Federal Census, William & Emily are ages 54 & 53, still living at Burrillville. William P. is 23 and Walter S. is 11. They are next door to Eddy & Emily Keach. Possibly Eddy is a brother of Emily Remington. This needs more research.

Some additional information on the children of William & Emily and their future generations was kindly provided by Michael Edward Remington, a descendant, as footnoted hereafter.

William married Emily Keach 22 Feb 1838. Emily (daughter of Asahel Keach and Betsey Unknown) was born Abt 1817, RI; died 3 Mar 1875, RI. [Group Sheet]
