• Notes

  In the 1850 Federal Census, Aaron and his family are living in Savoy, Berkshire, MA. With them is his elderly father, Benjamin. Brother James is next door with his family. Also nearby in the same town is (probable) brother Benjamin and his family. Another neighboring family is that of Amos Deming, possibly related to Laura. Aaron was appointed guardian for the orphaned children of his brother Reuben. Aaron and his two eldest sons served as deacons at the Baptist Church in Savoy. His brother-in-law, Deacon Amos Deming, served as pastor for 14 years (for more information on this family group, see "A Remington Family History" compiled by Lois Remington Smith). According to the death record, Deacon Aaron Remington died at age 63 of typhoid fever. His father died later that year at age 94. Their death records are on the same page of the Savoy, MA, death book. Cemetery info from find-a-grave: The location is described as "1/10 of a Mile North of Route 116" and "Walled up plot on Simon Le Marre's Farm (c. 1946) in the South East Corner of the town"
