    Notes:

    Captain Tillinghast kept a diary for several years, in which he wrote in detail about the daily weather, and in less detail about his comings and goings, town and church events, and deaths and burials. It provides us a window into the culture of the day. This diary has been edited by Cherry Fletcher Bamberg and published by the RI Genealogical Society.

    At his funeral on 30 July 1787, Elder John Gorton preached on Revelation 22:14.

    In John's sworn testimony in his pension file on 28 June 1820, he says that his wife Mary, aged 62, has been lame for 30 years.

    According to "Isaac Willey of New London, Conn., and his descendants," by Henry Willey, p. 81, Mary Remington died at age 77. This agrees exactly with her birth year as 1763.

    From "Berkshire Co., Mass., Probate Index, 1761 to 1900" page 243: Mary Remington, Adams, Adm., July 15 1840, #6176.

Generation: 3

  1. 10.  Samuel Tibbetts Descendancy chart to this point (6.Rebecca2, 1.Samuel1) was born 16 Aug 1787, Warwick, RI; died 8 Apr 1851, Warwick, RI.

  2. 11.  Daniel Remington Descendancy chart to this point (9.Mary2, 1.Samuel1) was born Abt 1782, RI; died Bef 1851.

    Notes:

    I believe Daniel may have died a very tragic death. From "The History of Cheshire," p. 11:

    "One winter, Daniel Remington, son of Col. Remington, left for Adams on a Saturday morning to replenish his stock of leather. He was the settlement shoemaker as well as the poet. On his return to the hill in the afternoon, he was overtaken by a severe snow storm and lost his way. A search party found him the next morning 'standing erect with his hands tightly clasped to the rails of a rude fence a short distance from his home.' He was frozen to death."

    "He was of a very happy and jovial disposition and was the village poet." (source: "Berkshire Genealogist" Vol. 26 No. 4 Fall 2005, p. 128; reprinted from "The Berkshire Hills" of 1900/01)

    This must have been Daniel, the son of John, who was a shoemaker. "Daniel Remington had thge reputation of making the finest shoe of any one in the country." ("The History of Cheshire" by Raynor and Petticlerc, p 97)

    The 1820 Federal Census lists a Daniel T. Remington and family at Cheshire (6 in household).

    BSR says he was "of Maine." (no source documentation)


  3. 12.  Mary "Polly" Remington Descendancy chart to this point (9.Mary2, 1.Samuel1) was born Abt 1785, RI; died 1870.

    Notes:

    In the Federal Census of 1870, Mary Bradford is a widow aged 86 RI, living at Adams, Berkshire Co., MA. She is with her son-in-law and daughter, Stephen & Emily Whipple.

    Mary married William Bradford 1806. William was born 1786; died 1848. [Group Sheet]

    Children:
    1. 20. Maria L. Bradford  Descendancy chart to this point was born Abt 1808.
    2. 21. Jane A. Bradford  Descendancy chart to this point was born 1815, MA; died 1893.
    3. 22. Emily Bradford  Descendancy chart to this point was born Abt 1818, MA; died Aft 1 Jun 1870.

  4. 13.  John Remington, Jr. Descendancy chart to this point (9.Mary2, 1.Samuel1) was born Abt 1787, MA or RI; died Bef 1851.

    Notes:

    BSR (Boyd Scott Remington, family researcher and compiler) says John was of Lansingburgh, NY, and had children Norman E., John E., & Martha. I have added these names to John's family, and research is ongoing. See notes for the two sons.

    There is a Norman Remington in the census records 1850 - 1870 at Lansingburgh, but there is no indication who his father may have been. I have made an assumption that this Norman is a son of this particular John Remington, as noted by BSR. Later records give Norman's birthplace as Lansingburgh, and his estimated birth year strongly suggests that he belongs to John Remington as shown in the following censuses.

    In the Federal Census of 1810, John Remington Jr. is at Cheshire, Berkshire Co., MA. The household consists of 1 free white male under 10, 1 free white male 26 - 44, and 1 free white female 16 - 25. This looks like a young couple with a young son. John Remington (presumably his father and family) is listed in the same town.

    The Federal Census of 1820 lists John Remington at Troy, Rensselaer Co., NY. I have made an assumption that it is this particular John Remington, for three reasons -- the above-mentioned BSR genealogy chart; the fact that John's uncle, Jonathan, settled at Lansingburgh (adjoining Troy); and evidence from Norman's and John E.'s families that links them to Troy and Lansingburgh. The household in 1820 consists of 1 free white male <10 (b 1811 - 1820), 1 free white male 10 - 15 (b 1805 - 1810), 1 free white male 26 - 44 (b 1776 - 1794), 3 free white females <10 (b 1811 - 1820), 1 free white female 10 - 15 (b 1805 - 1918), and 1 free white female 26 - 44 (b 1776 - 1794). This data suggests that John and his wife may have had 2 sons and 4 daughters.

    Much information on John's son John Edward Remington and his descendants came from Delwin Remington. Other sources are noted.

    John married Unknown Wife Abt 1810. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    According to Rev. Shepherd in "The History of Kirby Underdale," Henry resided at Adams, MA; Burlington, VT; Cleveland, OH; and Huron, OH.

    A genealogy chart at NE Historic Genealogical Society Library lists four children for this couple: Rev. Benjamin Franklin, Julia Ann, Maria Ann, & Fidelia.

    Notes:

    I am making an assumption that the entries for Benjamin Franklin Remington in the church records of the First Baptist Church of North Adams, MA, pertain to this individual. His sister, Abigail, is also listed among the members.

    Benjamin F. Remington Bapt 1819 Died at Peterboro NY Apr 4, 1866 aged 67 yrs.

    Notes:

    John's birthplace as Troy, NY, first came to me from Delwin Remington, a descendant. John's obituary, sent to me by Delwin, mentions John's birthplace as Troy, NY. (See text of obituary below.*)

    Also, an online biographical sketch of Daniel O. Davis, husband of Helen C. Remington, gives Helen's father's birthplace as Troy, NY, and gives some personal history on John. (Oregon Bios Project, submitted by Jeffrey L. Elmer)

    In the Federal Census of 1850, the family is at Livonia, Livingston Co., NY: Jno E. 29 painter, Electa 31, Edward 8, Albro 4, Ellen 1; also Sarah Marshall 18; all b NY.

    In the Federal Census of 1900, John is age 83 wd, living at Columbia, Wasco Co., OR, with married daughter Helen Davis and her family.

    For military service, see the following on Google Books:
    "Report of the adjutant general of the state of Illinois ..., Volume 4" By Illinois. Military and Naval Dept, Joseph W. Vance; p 599: lists John E. Remington, residence Dixon, as quartermaster, 2 Sep 1862, resigned for promotion 24 Nov 1863

    Also at Google Books, "Illinois Artillery Officer's Civil War: The Diary and Letters of John Cheney" by Gordon Armstrong; p 196 refers to the "familiar faces" of Quartermaster John E. Remington and son of Dixon, IL, 75th Illinois Infantry, 23 Nov 1863, encamped near Chattanooga, TN, facing the Rebels. The "son' referred to could be Alson, who was in the 75th regiment as well.

    "US Army Register" by United States Adjutant-General's Office p 65 lists John E. Remington as Assistant Quartermaster, 13 October 1863, birthplace NY, appointed from Illinois.

    "Official register of the United States" by United States Civil Service Commission p 581, lists John E. Remington as postmaster of Ft. Collins, Larimer Co., CO, with a salary of $120.

    An ad in the "American Agriculturist" Volume 32 p 69: "Colonization in Coloradao, Information sent free. Address John E. Remington, Fort Collins, Colorado."

    "Jefferson Davis in Blue: The Life of Sherman's Relentless Warrior" by Nathaniel Cheairs Hughes, Jr., Gordon D. Whitney, p 275, mentions Captain John E. Remington, chief quartermaster, as an "old hand" assisting Jefferson Davis.

    "Journal of the Executive Proceedings of the Senate" Volume 14, Part 1 by United States Congress, p 363, mentions "Brevet Major John E. Remington, assistant quartermaster of Volunteers, for faithful and meritorious services during the war, to date from March 13 1865." Page 421 has an almost identical entry, for Captain John E. Remington.

    "United States Congressional serial set, Issue 3409" p 443 & 444, contains a report by Captain John E. Remington, assistant quartermaster, US Army, 14th Army Corps; written at Goldsborough, NC, on 1 Apr 1865. The report concerns the campaign at Savannah, GA. He is also mentioned as part of staff on p 437 in the report of Major General Jefferson C. Davis.

    Notes:

    According to Rev. Shepherd in "The History of Kirby Underdale," Benjamin's twins were Lillie Mary & Florence Effie. However, they are not with the family in the 1880 census, so may have died young.

    In the Federal Census of 1860, Frank & Mary Remington, ages 34 and 36, are living at New York City. Frank is a Baptist clergyman. Daughter Florence is 4; Mary is 2.

    In the 1870 Federal Census, Frank & Mary Remington and family are at East Cleveland; the children's names appear to be Mary, Grace K., & Henry. In the 1880 Federal Census, Frank & Mary Remington and family are living in District 51, Cleveland, Cuyahoga Co., OH. The children's names appear to be May A., Grace K., & Harry H.

    I am not sure of the exact dates of all the children in this family (needs more research).
