  • Notes 
    • In the 1870 Federal Census, Henry Remington is 20 and living at home in Smithfield, RI, with his widowed father, Jefferson, and two sisters, Anna & Ellen. In 1880 Henry W. Remington is 30, divorced, and living in North Smithfield, RI, with his father Jeff and sister Anna W., 28. Could he have married Ida E. Newell in 1877, and been divorced by 1880? (see RI Marriage Index)

      In the 1920 Federal Census, Henry W. Remington & Emmaroy A. Remington are living in Manhattan, NY. He is 70 and she is 64. Two adult sons are in the home: Henry Waterman Remington, 34, and Harold J. Remington, 32.

      If the census data is correct, Henry was married sometime after the 1870 census, and divorced before the 1880 census. He may then have married someone born in NY before he married Emmaroy, because the 1920 census data shows that the mother of his two sons was born in NY. Therefore, Emmaroy may not be their mother.

      In 1930, Henry Remington is 80 years old, widowed, and still living in Manhattan, NY. With him are his two sons. Henry Jr. is married to Amy, and has three young daughters. Apparently he died not long after this census.
