• Notes

  In the 1850 Federal Census, Daniel S. & Caroline E. are living in Providence, Ward 5, with an infant son. In 1860 the family is in Ward 6, Providence, with 4 children. He is probably the D. S. Remington, Adjutant, RI Vets Assoc. in 1881 and other years. Daniel S. Remington was in the Civil War, RI 7th Infantry, Battalion CGB. He was First Lieutenant and Captain, and commanded Company C in 1865. See this excerpt from "History of Providence County, Rhode Island, Vol. I," Ed. Richard M. Bayles, NY: W. W. Preston & Co., 1891, p. 208 ff: "There remained still in the field Companies B, D and G of the re-enlisted veterans of the 4th Rhode Island, and the recruits belonging to the Seventh, whose term of service had not expired. These, by special order of the war department, were formed into a battalion of three companies, to be known as 'Battalion Seventh Rhode Island Volunteers'. This organization was continued until July 13th, 1865, when the battalion was mustered out of service near Alexandria, VA. The men, about 200 in number, returned to Providence under the command of Captain Caleb T. Bowen, with Adjutant George B. Costello and Surgeon C. G. Corey. The other commissioned officers were Captain Daniel S. Remington and Lieutenant A. R. Collins, Company B; Captain Winthrop A. Moore and Lieutenant Merchant Weeden, Company D; Lieutenant C. Goffe, Company G. The battalion reached Providence at 3 o'clock Wednesday morning, July 17th, and was refreshed with a bountiful breakfast, prepared by direction of Captain Crandall."
