Notes - Thomas and his family must have lived in Vermont for a while, because his son Silas was born at Rupert, VT, in 1792, according to Boyd Scott Remington's chart. Also, the 1860 census shows Thomas's birthplace as VT. The 1790 census lists Thomas Remington at Rupert (indexed at Ancestry.com as Bennington); the 1800 census shows Thomas & Silas "Remmington" at Rupert. They are the only Remington families there at the time. My assumption is that the Silas on the census is Thomas's brother, b. 1776.
The following notes are from "Reunion of Descendants of Alvah Remington, 1797-1888" at Online Collections at BYU:
Thomas & Olive moved to Rupert, VT, in 1787. Thomas was Selectman, Captain of the Militia, and a prominent resident of Rupert for twenty-five years.
