• Notes

  In the 1860 Federal Census, Austin & Elizabeth are at Savoy, Berkshire Co., MA. Their two sons are there, as well as an orphaned cousin, David T. Remington. Austin's mother, Laura Remington, is next door. In June 1858 Austin became a member of the Savoy Baptist Church; in 1859 he became a deacon and the church treasurer. In 1861 he became ill and asked to be relieved of his duties. Austin died two years later of consumption (see Lois Remington Smith's manuscript, "Moses Stanford, Minuteman" for more information on this family). Austin & Elizabeth had an infant son who died 18 Mar 1855 ("A Remington Family History" by Lois Remington Smith, p. E-2).
