| Notes |
- I believe Sylvia is sister of Mary Edmunds who married Joseph Martin Remington. I think they are daughters of Joseph and Susanna Edmunds. I am going to make an educated guess that they are in this family group, based on census data from 1840 showing a free white female age 15-19 and and other age 20-29. The youngest girl age 10-14 would be Martha, with them in 1850.
In 1880, Sylvia Remington gives MA as birthplace of both parents. In that census, she is a widow keeping house age 54; son Joseph E. is age 34, farmer at home.
In 1900, Sylvia is age 74: son Joseph E. is head of the household, single and age 54; her four young adult Sheldon grandchildren are in the home; their mother died under suspicious circumstances and their father was incarcerated and killed himself.
In the DETROIT SOCIETY FOR GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH MAGAZINE (date unknown), on p. 88 the following appears: "PRIVATE CEMETERY ON JOSEPH REMINGTON FARM, east and north of Sennett, in Brutus township, Cayuga County, New York.
EDMUNDS, Joseph d. Feb. 6, 1859; ae. 78 yrs, 10 mos, 14 d;
Susanna, wife of Joseph Edmunds, d. Apr. 11, 1867, ae 84 yrs 4 mos 22 d (dau. of Ezra and Esther (Avery) Chapman of Great Barrington and Windsor, Mass.);
William C., d. Aug. 25, 1852, ae, 24 yrs 10 mos 5 d;
Cyrus, son of Joseph & Susanna, d Oct 2, 1828, ae 18 yrs 2 mos 25 d;
Elvira, dau. of Joseph & Susanna, d Dec. 21, 1822, ae. 19 yrs 8 mos 21 d;
Joseph, son of Joseph & Susanna, d. July 18, 1822, ae. 2 yrs 3 mos 11 d
(copied October 1936 by Clarence L. Beavis)."
This farm may have belonged to Joseph E., son of Philander and Sylvia. Sylvia is living with son Joseph, farmer, in 1880 and 1900.
