I have made an assumption that Orange is a son of Justus, based on the following census information.
In the 1850 Federal Census, Orange is age 10 and living at Bolton, Warren Co., NY, with Susanna Davis, age 73, and other members of the Davis family. I think the two Davis wives nearby are his aunts, Esther & Ann (Remington) Davis. Also there is Mary Remington, age 14, who I am assuming is Orange's sister.
In 1860 Orange is age 20, living with Justus B. Remington and family at Schroon, Essex Co., NY. Also there is Joshua Remington, presumably Orange's grandfather.
In 1870 Orange is 29 and married to Sarah, age 33. They have a son, Henry F., age 3, and are still living at Schroon, near Justus & Eliza.
In 1880 they are still at Schroon. Orange is 45, and his wife, called Jane, is 41. They have three children: Henry 13, Cora 7, & Mary 10 (adopted).
In 1900 Orange & Sarah J. Remington are living at 22 Morton St., Glens Falls, NY. The census gives their birth dates as Jul 1856 & May 1850, but those are undoubtedly incorrect.
In 1910 Orange & Sarah Remington are ages 70 & 72, living at 14 Morton St., Glens Falls, Warren Co., NY. They are living with married son Henry and his wife Anna and their three children: Orange, Sarah, & Bertha. According to the census data, Orange & Sarah have had four children, one of whom is still living.
In 1920 Orange & Sarah J. are ages 79 & 82. They are still living at 14 Morton St. Also in the household are their son Henry 52 , his wife Anna 42, and their daughter Bertha 19; also their married daughter Sarah Allen and her husband Herbert, and their two young children.
According to the data in some censuses, both of Orange's parents were born in NY. However, the 1920 census says they were born in VT.
In the 1930 Federal Census, Orange is listed as "Orin." He is widowed, age 89, and living with son Henry and daughter-in-law Anna on Wilmot Street, Glens Falls (Queensbury), Warren Co., NY.
From a posting by Valorie Sherman, Remington Message Board at genealogy.com: "Orange, a Civil War veteran, enlisted in 1862; was living with his grandmother Susannah Rounds Davis on 1855 census, Bolton, Warren, New York."
The following obituary is courtesy of Valorie Sherman:
The Glens Falls Post Star , 11 Apr 1932
"Orange Remington, 91, a Civil War veteran, died Saturday morning at the home of his son; Henry Remington, 18 Wilmot Street. Besides the son mentioned, Mr. Remington is survived by two grandchildren, Mrs. Bernard Oddy, and Mrs. Herbert Allen, and 13 great grandchildren.
"Mr. Remington served for three years in the Civil War, and was a member of the E. M. Wing post, 147, G. A. R., having the distinction of being the oldest living member at the time of his death. He enlisted as a Private on August 11, 1862, at the age of 22, and was assigned to Company D, 118th Regiment, New York Infantry, receiving his discharge on May 29, 1865, at Richmond, Va.
"Funeral services will be conducted at 1 o'clock this afternoon at the home by the Rev. A. J. Allen, pastor of the Wesleyan Methodist Church. Burial will be in the Leggett Cemetery, Chestertown."
