Notes - Nelson's occupation was a miller, so he most likely took over his father's business, the flour mill.
Both Nelson and his son Harvey served in the Civil War.
In the Federal Census of 1850, Nelson 26, Mary H. 30, & Harvey B. Remington 1, are living at Colesville, Broome Co., NY. They are next to a family named Wykoff.
In 1860 the family is at Franklin, Delaware Co., NY. Nelson & Mary are ages 38 & 40. They have two children, Harvey B. 11 & Julia E. 8 (all b NY). Also in the same town are Seba Remington (presumably Nelson's brother) and his wife Julia.
In the 1870 Federal Census, Nelson apparently has remarried to Lucretia, and they are living at Franklin; with them is son Harvey 21. Nelson is 49 and Lucretia is 32.
In the 1880 Federal Census, Nelson Remington is age 58 NY, living with son Harvey & family at Hamden, Delaware Co., NY. Census data shows his parents as being born in Eng. & CT, but perhaps he said his father was born somewhere in "New England."
