In the 1850 census, Wager Remington is age 10 NY and living with his parents and siblings at Hudson, Columbia Co., NY.
In the 1860 census, Wager H. Remington is age 20 NY and living/boarding as a farm laborer in Butler, Wayne Co., NY. Also in the same household is George Remington, 22, whom I believe is probably his cousin.
In the 1870 census W. H. Remington is age 30 NY and living at Omaha, Douglas Co., NE. He is a bookkeeper and is married to Kate, age 20 NY.
In 1880 Wager & Kate are still at Omaha, NE. They are ages 40 & 29; Wager is still a bookkeeper.
