Oliver M. Remington married Sarah and moved from Tiverton, RI, to Ohio about 1813/14, among the first settlers to live in New Castle, Coshocton County, OH. He was a school teacher, and later moved to Holmes County, c.1820/21. His brother Peter also moved to Ohio.

In the 1850 Federal Census, the family is at Richland, Holmes, OH. Oliver is 62, Sarah is 57; sons John, Thomas, & Lyman are in the household.

"One of the earliest schools in the township, in all probability the first, was held in the cabin that had been occupied by Isaac Butler, in the western part of the township. The children of the Butlers, Darlings and others attended here. In 1814 or 1815, it was taught by Oliver Remington, from Rhode Island, a well educated, intelligent man. He was a brother-in-law to Squire Humphrey, of New Castle township, and remained here only two or three years, removing to Hotmes county." (http://www.heritagepursuit.com/Coshocton/cofile4.htm)

Oliver married Sarah Sally Humphrey 8 Dec 1811, Tiverton, RI. Sarah (daughter of William Humphrey, Sr. and Lydia Munroe) was born 25 Dec 1792, Tiverton, Newport Co., RI; died 20 Oct 1863, Holmes County, Ohio; was buried , Remington Family Cemetery, Holmes Co., OH. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Peter moved westward and first settled in New Castle, Ohio. "He taught one term of school, and had mathematical ability" (source: Remington manuscript).

I have discovered what I believe to be his family in the 1850 census, so I am placing them here based on my assumption and data from various censuses which supports this assumption. See notes for Susanna.

Further research has confirmed that this indeed is Peter's family, based on DAR membership #750866.

Peter married Susanna L. Ames 27 Mar 1817. Susanna was born 7 Oct 1796, PA; died 1880, Bridgeton, Parke Co., IN. [Group Sheet]

"Benny E." is the writer of several letters published in "Lydia's Letters." His letters show him to be a "doting uncle and loving brother," in the words of Pam (Amari) Rich.

Benjamin E. Remington is mentioned several times in the Jamestown Town Records, indexed online at the Jamestown Historical Society. One example is the following:

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Susannah G. Wilcox is age 50, living at Jamestown, RI, with the family of John W. & Abby H. Potter and their two young children. I think Abby may be Susannah's daughter (see note below).

Her gravestone identifies her as Susan G. Wilcox, daughter of John & Phebe R. Remington.

Does this birth record refer to her daughter? "REMINGTON Abby Howland, of Sukey, April 30, 1821." (Jamestown births)

Baptism: "REMINGTON Abby Howland, bapt. by pouring Oct. 11, 1835" (Communicant, Westerly)

Also, this entry: "REMINGTON Abby, April 13, 1836" (Confirmation, Westerly)
