• Notes

  (If you use any part of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher.) I think Christopher may have been named after Christopher Hall, father of Patience (Hall) Matteson, his assumed maternal grandmother. In the 1850 Federal Census, Christopher is age 12 and living in West Greenwich with the Benoni Matteson family, which includes Alice (Barber) Matteson, and their daughters Phebe, Eunice, & Dorcas. Christopher's father Sheffield is also in the 1850 census at West Greenwich, age 37, living with Sarah Whitford, William N. Whitford, William's two sons, and other individuals who may or may not be related. There is also a Cyrus W. Remington, age 10, living with the Burrill Matteson family. Is he a brother of Christopher? Possibly Sheffield had been widowed and needed help caring for his children. In the 1870 Federal Census, Christopher & Almira are living in Ward 6, Providence, RI, with their children Cyrus & Esther. In the 1880 Federal Census, Christopher and family are living at Johnston, RI. They have three children: Cyrus H. 16, Esther W. 13, & Marie L. B. 3. Apparently they had gone to NY for a while, because according to census data Esther was born there. In the 1885 RI State Census, Christopher H. and his brother Cyrus W. are both living in Johnston; both are carpenters and their birthplace is given as Coventry. In 1900 the family is at Providence: Christopher Remington 64 (b June 1835 RI; carpenter; md 28 yrs), Almira S. 67 (b Dec 1832 RI; 2 of 4 children still living), Maria L. Hopkins 23 (dtr; b Dec 1876 RI; md 9 yrs; 3 of 5 children still living), May L. Hopkins 8 (b May 1892 RI), Pansy A. Hopkins 6 (b Feb 1894 MA), and Christopher E. Hopkins 2 (b July 1897 MA). In 1920 Chris Remington is age 82, living in Providence with Maria Hopkins 43, Burton Hopkins 12, and Charles & May Nickolajewk 32 & 27. Maria is his daughter and May is his granddaughter. All were born in RI except Charles in Poland. For some reason, Christopher is identified as John Remington in the birth record of his daughter Maria L. B. Remington. However, his wife is Almira S. in the birth record, as in the censuses.
