  • Notes 
    • I am making an assumption that this is the same Josiah who is listed in the 1820 & 1830 Federal Census as residing at Tolland, Hampden County, MA. This is likely because his father Anthony is there at the same time; Josiah is listed along with Charles, Anthony, John, & Holden.

      Perhaps he moved to Ohio around the time his father did, c 1833.

      The following note is from Karen Hermann:
      "The land records for Josiah Remington place him in Tolland, MA, in Oct 1833 and in Freedom, OH, in June 1834; since his father Anthony died in Freedom on 31 Nov 1833, according to the Anthony's pension record, I believe Josiah was the one who brought him to Ohio. He stated in an affidavit in 1823 that Josiah was his only means of support."

      Seaman's Protection Certificate #4263, Customs District New London, issued 18 May 1807: Josiah Remington -- birthplace Granville, MA; age 22, complexion dark, height 5'11", little finger of left hand crooked.
