  • Notes 
    • Please note that Orange is placed here as a son of Stephen & Thankful solely on the basis of location, that is, living next to or near other family members in the censuses. To date I have not personally found records to indicate he belongs here, other than the general time frame and location of birth. There is some discrepancy concerning his birthdate. Pat Boyden's genealogy lists Orange as a son of Joseph Remington & Loranna Griffiths. (This family needs more research.)

      A descendant, Linda Lee Schell, says there is (somewhere) a family Bible which indicates that Orange's mother was named Catherine. Could Thankful have died and Stephen married a second wife named Catherine? This is a possibility.

      In the Federal Census of 1850, Orange & Mary D. Remington, ages 44 NY & 32 NY, are living at Dayton, Cattaraugus Co., NY. They have four children: Hepsabah 13 MI, William W. 10 NY, Garret 8, & George W. 5 NY. They are listed next to Hiram & Alzada Remington.

      In the Federal Census of 1860 the family is still at Dayton: Orange 49 VT, Mary D. 42 NY, William W. 20 NY, Garret P. 18 NY, & George W. 15 NY.

      In the Federal Census of 1870, Orange & Mary are ages 59 VT & 52 NY. With them is son George, who is married to Alice, and their infant daughter Carrie. They are next to Garret Remington and his wife; they in turn are next to Wallace Remington and family. Nearby is Hiram Remington and family.

      A history of Dayton, NY, has his date of birth as 2 June 1810, Wallingford, VT.

      From FindaGrave.com: "Arrived in Cattaraugus Co. in 1832 where he cleared a farm in the south part of the Town of Dayton."
