| Notes |
- Notes sent to me by Norman Charles Hill place this Jonathan as a son of Rufus Remington. I also have wondered if Jonathan might be a son of Jonathan b 1801 or of John b 1794, both sons of Jonathan & Martha (Sprague) Remington, as was Rufus.
Information from Mary Lou Rafery placed this Jonathan as a son of John Remington b 1801 and Unknown Wife. Jonathan's birthplace is NY in two of the censuses, but VT in two others. Jonathan's presumed father, Rufus, was living in NY in 1830, but back in VT by 1840, where there is a Jonathan Remington living next to him. However, Jonathan's age in that census does not agree with his age here. (This family needs more research.)
He is probably the Jonathan Remington, age 20 VT, in the 1850 census at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. He is a carpenter, and is listed twice in the census; all were born in VT. Nearby are Octavia Remington 22 VT and Prudence Remington 18 VT (could they be daughters of Truman?). All three are living in different households. How are they related? Was Jonathan born in NY but returned to his parents' former hometown to be a carpenter's apprentice?
In the Federal Census of 1860, Jonathan & Sophia, ages 40 VT & 35 VT, are living at Wallingford, VT. He is a carpenter and joiner. Son Frank is 6 months.
In the Federal Census of 1870, Jno & S. E. Remington, ages 41 NY & 42 VT, are living at Diana, Lewis Co., NY. Son Frank is 10 NY. According to census data, Jonathan and Frank were born in NY.
In the 1880 Federal Census, Jonathan & Sophia Remington are ages 51 NY & 52 VT, living at Diana, Lewis Co., NY. Their son Frank, age 20, is with them.
Two of the censuses give Jonathan's birthplace as NY, two as VT.
