    Notes:

    In the 1850 Federal Census, William is age 22, living with his mother and others at Warren, Bristol Co., RI. In the 1880 Federal Census, it may be this couple, William A. & Maria L.

    Yes, it must be. In the 1870 Federal Census, at Davenport, Scott Co., Iowa, this household is listed: William Remington 40 MA, Maria Remington 38 MA, Henry Remington 14 RI, Maria Remington 3 IA, Charles Talbot 20 RI, Harriet Remmington 65 MA, & Mary Coleman 20 Ireland.

    William and his brother John may have married sisters, as both wives have the surname Cole.

  1. 2.  Henry Wady Remington Descendancy chart to this point (1.William1) was born 19 May 1856, Providence, RI; died 23 Jan 1942, Seekonk, MA.

    Notes:

    In the 1870 Federal Census, Henry is age 14 and living with his family at Davenport, Iowa. In the 1880 Federal Census, Henry W. Remington age 24 is living in Chicago, working as a store clerk, and boarding with John & Emma Shields. His parents are living at Geneseo, IL. In 1920 Henry W. Remington age 64 is living in Bristol, RI, with his wife Anna B. age 60, In 1930 he is age 74 and in New Port Richey, Pasco County, FL, with his wife Agatha T. age 55.

    Could he have married first to Ida E. Newell, in 1877 (see RI Marriage Index)? Or, that may have been a different Henry W. Remington who married her.

    Henry married Anna Burr Watson 6 Dec 1883, RI. Anna (daughter of John Gifarde Watson and Mary Abby Spooner) was born Abt 1860, MA; died Between 1920 and 1930. [Group Sheet]

    Henry married Agatha T. Unknown Bef 1 Jun 1930. Agatha was born Abt 1875; died Aft 1 Jun 1930. [Group Sheet]


  2. 3.  William G. Remington Descendancy chart to this point (1.William1) was born Abt 1862; died 1 Oct 1863, RI.

    Notes:

    I have made an assumption that this child, whose death at the age of one year is recorded in the RI Death Index, belongs in this family group. It says he is a son of William & Maria.


  3. 4.  Maria Remington Descendancy chart to this point (1.William1) was born Abt 1867, Iowa.
