  • Notes 
    • Joanna was "of Cranston, RI." In a letter handwritten by her brother Benjamin, he mentions that she was the wife of Caleb Remington of Johnston, and says that she died there at home in 1876. Her sons John & Andrew, and her daughter Joanna, continued to live in the family home throughout their adult lives.

      In the 1860 Federal Census, Joanna Remington is age 60 and living at Johnston, RI. With her are the following family members: John 38, Andrew R. 36, Caleb 34, Benjamin L. 32, Christopher W. 29, Joanna 24, & William 60. I think this last individual is William Warner Remington, son of John & Sally (Paine) Remington, and thus a nephew of Joanna's husband.

      However, four of these sons are listed in CA in the 1860 census at Little York, Nevada Co. See notes for them.

      In the 1870 Federal Census, Joanna Remington is age 70 and living at Johnston, RI. In the household are several of her children, three grandchildren, and a daughter-in-law.

      According to Joanna's gravestone, she died at age 76 years, 6 months, 28 days.
