  • Notes 
    • From web site newenglandancestors.org:
      "REMINGTON, William Holdredge, ' Moved from R. I. to Pomeroy, Ohio,' h. REMINGTON, Eliphalet (d. Job Randall of Cranston, R.I. ), ch. William and Patty or Martha (Adams), b. --, 1810 [? in Pawtuxet, R.I. ], P.R.28. Greenfield," MA records (probably from Adams family Bible records). Eliphalet is likely a mistranscription of Elizabeth.

      In the 1850 Federal Census, William & Elizabeth are living at Pomeroy, Meigs Co., Ohio, with their five children: P. E., Anne C., Benjamin R., Martha M., & Mary H. William is a merchant.

      In 1860 the family is at Salisbury, Meigs Co., OH. The household includes: W. H. Remington, 50 RI, merchant; Elizabeth P., 41 RI; Ansela, 16 OH; Benjamin R., 13 OH; Martha, 11 OH; Mary, 9 OH; & Emer, 7 OH.

      They are still living there in 1870, and their young adult children in the household are: Benjamin, Mary, & Emma. William 60 and son Benjamin 24 are dry goods merchants; Elizabeth 57 is keeping house; Mary 19 "helps mother"; and Emma 17 is attending school. (Roll: M593_1242, Page: 165, Image: 331)

      In 1880 William & Elizabeth are still at Pomeroy, OH, and are ages 70 & 61. William is a retired merchant. With them is son Benjamin R., 43; it looks as if his occupation is "Hardware & stationery."

      As a point of interest, William was likely named after his father William, and also after Deacon William Holdridge/Holdredge, who died at Pawtuxet 5 Dec 1828 in his 86th year.
