  • Notes 
    • In the 1850 Federal Census, Caleb 37, Abby Jane 33, & Susan 1 are in Johnston, RI. Living with them is Elizabeth Hudson 52. In the 1880 Federal Census, Caleb & Abbie J. Remington are still residing in Johnston, RI. Their ages are given as 69 and 64.

      He is identified as Caleb B. Remington in a division of his father's land, 12 April 1823, at Johnston, RI. Perhaps his middle name was Bussey, his maternal grandmother's maiden name.

      Boyd Scott Remington's chart shows 3 wives for Caleb: Sarah Latham, Abigail Luther, and Abby Jane Unknown. However, the dates on the chart differ from these dates, which are from the RI Cemetery Database. Abby Jane is buried in the same cemetery as this Caleb. I don't know where Sarah is buried, I think Abby Jane is really Abigail Luther, as a witness on the probate records for Caleb is Addison Luther.

      BSRs chart has Caleb's dates as follows: 5 Jan 1811 - 5 Apr 1890. The RI Cemetery Database has his date of death as 30 April 1889, while the RI Death Index says 5 April 1890, son of John & Sarah.
