      "In 1863, a Savannah editor thanked Thomasville's Mrs. Charles Remington for sending a 'bountiful supply of pepper and sage for the use of hospitals.' " (Savannah Republican, 12 Sept 1863, quoted in "Thomas County During the Civil War," by William Rogers)

      In the 1875 Rhode Island Census, Ellen P. Remington is age 38, living in Providence, RI. Her three sons are with her: Simeon H. 20, Charles H. 18, & Hamilton S. 15. They are living near Albert F. Remington and his family, and William H. Remington and his family, brothers and sons of Benjamin & Matilda (Spink) Remington.

      In 1880 E. P. Remington is age 42 and living at Quitman, Brooks Co., GA, with her son C.H. (Charles, Jr.), who keeps a hotel there. Her son Hamilton is also with them, and Simeon is nearby in town with his wife. They are next door to Ellen's sister Jane P. Joiner and her family. Jane & Ellen's parents, Hamilton & Jane Sharpe, are also living in town.

      In1900 she is living with son Charles and several other family members at Quitman, GA; by 1910 Charles has (probably) died so she is with son Hamilton and his family at Columbus, Muscogee Co., GA.
