• Notes

  Apparently William also sailed the seas. The records at New Bedford have a William S. Remington, age 22 on 24 Sep 1859, described as born in New Bedford, 5'8 1/2" with light skin, light hair, and blue eyes. In 1870, William & Martha are living at Fall River, MA. Their ages are given as 32 & 42. With them are three teenagers, surname Valentine, probably Martha's children from a previous marriage: Jefferson B. 17, Jessie B. 17, & Ella C. 13, all b MA; also Eliza Waterhouse, age 64 Maine, probably Martha's mother. In 1900, William Remington, age 50 (born Feb 1849), is living at New Bedford, MA, with a wife named Minnie J., age 40 (born June 1859). This may be the same William, even though the age is off considerably. In 1910, William S. Remington, age 60, is living at New Bedford, MA, with a "second" wife, Linette (?name illegible?), b MA, parents b in England. The wife may be Minnie, as above. He probably is the William S. Remington, age 70 and widowed, living at New Bedford, MA, in the 1920 Federal Census. It says he was born in MA, and both parents were born in RI. However, the age is off considerably. In the 1900 Federal Census, there is a couple living at VT, which looks like William & Martha, but the birth dates are off: William Remington, b Oct 1834 MA, parents b RI & MA; Martha A. Remington, b Jul 1839 VT, parents b VT. This couple is also in the 1880 census at Craftsbury, Orleans Co., VT, with a daughter named Flora E., age 10; they are living with an older couple named Mulford. In 1910 they are still at Craftsbury, VT. They appear to be William & Martha of New Bedford except for two differences: Martha's birthplace, given in the censuses as VT, but in the marriage record as ME; also, the marriage record has her maiden name as Waterhouse, but in 1880 they are living with the Mulford & Clarisa Eldridg, and Martha is listed as their daughter. (this family needs more research) See notes for Martha.
