Joshua (2) Remington, II

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein. Some of the information on this family came from Lois Remington Smith in "A Remington Family History.")

Joshua Remington, Sr. was a soldier in the Revolutionary War.

The family moved from Abington, MA, to Cummington, MA, sometime between 1772 and 1776. Joshua's three lots in northwest Cummington are in the area known as Remington's Hill (also called Bryant Mt., after the poet William Cullen Bryant who was born in Cummington).

In 1780 there was a controversy concerning Joshua Remington in the local church, in which his name appears in the church records quite a bit. Among other accusations was that he was causing schisms in the church by his charges against the pastor.

Joshua and family are in the 1800 census, but not the 1810. His son Benjamin was appointed Administrator of Joshua's estate on 15 Oct 1811 (Probate records of Northampton, Hampshire Co., MA).

Lois Remington Smith has noted his date of death as Sep 1811.

Joshua married Ruth Clay Abt 1754. Ruth was born Abt 1734; died Aft 1800. [Group Sheet]

Ruth married Jesse Graves Between 16 Feb 1780 and 1790, Cummington, MA. Jesse (son of Joshua Graves and Rhoda Bronson) was born 30 Jan 1755, CT; died 12 Oct 1820, Salisbury, Addison Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

It may be that there was no Silas in this family, and that the name should be Sylvia, while another daughter was Sally.

Uriah was in the Revolution (MA & VT). He "enlisted in 1775 in a Bridgewater, Massachusetts, company, and was also a veteran at the time they went to Vermont. Joshua and Uriah were both in Captain Stafford's company, colonel Ebenezer Allen's regiment of Vermont militia in October, 1780, June, 1781, and again in 1780 in Captain Orange Train's company, Colonel Lee's regiment; also in Captain John Sprague's company, Colonel Gideon Warren's regiment, 1780-81." (source: "New England Families" Vol. I, Genealogies and Memorials, p. 381)

Also, he fought in War of 1812.

According to the "Oliver M. Remington Bible Records" (National DAR Records; referenced in "A Remington Family History" by Lois Remington Smith, p. C-2), Uriah & Sallie Remington moved from Rutland, VT, to Croton, NY, now called Tredwell, Delaware Co., NY, on 15 Feb 1789 (or perhaps that is the date he bought land there; possibly the whole family did not move until 1790 or 1791). His military record says he was 5' 10" tall and of a light complexion.

The Federal Census of 1790 lists Uri Remington living at Tinmouth, Rutland Co., VT; seven persons are in the household.

The Federal Census of 1810 lists him as Uriah Ramington in Delaware Co., NY

I have roughly estimated the birth years of four of his children. Some information on this family came from Lois Remington Smith in "A Remington Family History, 1687-1962"; San Jose, CA; 1963, Appendix C.

His gravestone inscription reads: "Beneath this stone death's prisoner lies, The stone shall move the prisoner rise, When Jesus with almighty word, Calls his dead saints to meet their Lord."

From "Biographical Review" of Delaware County, NY, web site: [Uriah] "served as a Revolutionary soldier for seven years. His constant companion during that time was his pet dog, who, displaying wonderful sagacity, more than once saved his life. At one station on the frontier the sentinels were almost nightly killed while on duty, but the perpetrators of the crime could not be discovered. It soon became difficult to obtain a sentinel from the ranks; but Mr. Remington volunteered for the duty, and, accompanied by his faithful dog, began his solitary walk. Soon the dog began to bark and dig at the roots of a dead tree; and, accordingly, Mr. Remington fired at what appeared to be a black ball among the branches. Down fell the body of the Indian who had waited in ambush to take the life of the man whose victim he himself proved to be. At another time, when on guard, Mr. Reminton saw what he supposed to be a wild hog, but, disliking to needlessly alarm the camp, refrained from firing for a time. At length his dog again became frantic; and, noticing the peculiar gait of the supposed hog, he fired, and, hastening to the spot, discovered that he had killed an Indian, who was cleverly disguised that he might attack the sentinels. At the close of the war Mr. Remington settled in West Meredith, where he engaged extensively in farming and lumbering, and also operated a saw and grist mill, in all of which industries he was eminently successful." [http://www.dcnyhistory.org/books/breview9.html]

"Uriah Remington, Franklin, Delaware County, NY, on May 24, 1798, purchased from Clark Lawrance, Franklin, Delaware County, NY, land in the town of Franklin, Whitesborough Patent, part of lot 15, beginning at the westerly line of John Bristol, 100 acres. Witnesses John Bristol and Daniel Bristol. Recorded October 19, 1802. Pages 305-306." [http://www.dcnyhistory.org/deedsbookA.html]

Uriah married Sally Camfield Abt 1782. Sally was born 1764; died 12 Feb 1841; was buried , West Meredith Cemetery, County Route 14, Meredith, Delaware Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.)

The list of Joshua's children and their birth dates is given quite differently in different sources. I have not personally confirmed the list which I have on this tree, but have used various sources to compile the family group. See my notes for the individual children and their families, which I have researched.

According to his affadavit, Joshua may have been born in Hingham c1760, but the birth was recorded in Abington. Lois Remington Smith mentions his baptism record at Hingham on 14 Sept 1760, but birth record at Abington dated 1 Nov 1760. Gretchen Paulsen has provided information that he was born 9 Sep 1760, and his gravestone inscription reads "died 1855 age 95 years."

Joshua Remington, Jr. was a soldier in the Revolutionary War (VT) and was "present at the Battle of Bennington. He was in Captain Nathan Harwood's company, Colonel John Dickinson's regiment, the roll of which was sworn to in Chesterfield, New Hampshire. He was also in Captain Joseph Clapp's company, and Colonel Israel Chapin's regiment (Third Massachusetts) in the fall of 1779 and marched to reinforce the northern army. He settled in Wallingford, Vermont, in 1780, and saw further service there in a Vermont regiment . . . Joshua and Uriah were both in Captain Stafford's company, colonel Ebenezer Allen's regiment of Vermont militia in October, 1780, June, 1781, and again in 1780 in Captain Orange Train's company, Colonel Lee's regiment; also in Captain John Sprague's company, Colonel Gideon Warren's regiment, 1780-81." (source: "New England Families" Vol. I, Genealogies and Memorials, p. 381)

Joshua was placed on the pension roll of Chittendon County, VT, in 1832 for service as a private in the MA militia.

According to Boyd Scott Remington's ancestry chart, Joshua was baptised on 14 Sept 1760. He later lived in Wallingford, and died in Huntington, VT. Elsewhere I have seen that he may have been born 1 Nov 1760 (no source documentation). However, "New England Families," Vol. I, p. 381, says he was born in Nov 1759.

According to "Genealogical and Family History of Western New York" by William Richard Cutter, p. 978, Joshua moved to Rutland County, VT . . . He lived at Wallington."

In the 1790 Federal Census, a Joshua Remington is living at Danby, Rutland, VT. Besides Joshua, the household includes three white males under 16 and six free white females. Most likely the sons are Samuel, Jeremiah, & another unknown son before that time.

He is likely the Joshua Remington listed in the 1810 Federal Census at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT: 1 FWM<10, 1 FWM 10-15, 1 FWM 45+, 1 FWF 10-15, 1 FWF 16 - 25, 1 FWF 45+; total 6.

He may have lived for a while at Hinesburg, VT, where he bought real estate on 19 Sept 1818, and sold it to his son 28 Aug 1819, returning to Wallingford or Huntington. (source: "New England Families" Vol. I, Genealogies and Memorials, p. 381)

In the 1850 Federal Census, Joshua is age 90, living with his son Jeremiah and family at Huntington, Chittenden, VT.

Joshua Remington is a DAR Patriot.

Joshua married Eunice Unknown Abt 1782. Eunice was born 1758; died 26 Jul 1834, Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT; was buried , Center Cemetery, Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Jonathan served in the Revolution from MA & VT. He enlisted at Cummington, MA.

His marriage to Martha was obtained from Rootsweb's Worldconnect, so needs verification to determine that it is the same Jonathan Remington. That genealogy lists 11 children for this couple. Other family notes I have seen agree.

I could not find his birth record at Abington, but Lois Remington Smith lists Jonathan with the children of Joshua & Ruth.

However, some genealogies have this Jonathan as a son of Thomas Remington b 1726 and his wife Rachel Stowell.

Also, others show his birthplace as Cummington, Hampshire Co., MA, and his death as c 1840 at Wallingford, VT.

The Federal Census of 1830 at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT lists a Jonathan Rimmington and a Jonathan Rimmington Jr. The household of the former includes 1 male age 70<80, 1 female 50>60; and three other females -- 1-40<50, 1-10<15, & 1-15<20.

In 1833 when he appeared for his pension hearing, he said he had lived in Wallingford for 51 years (since 1782).

The last pension payment was made 12 Sep 1834 (to his wife?).

Jonathan married Martha Sprague Abt 1786. Martha (daughter of Joseph Sprague and Mary Thompson) was born Abt 1765, Danby, Rutland, VT; died Abt Sep 1834. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

According to the Remington genealogy compiled by Lois Remington Smith, Daniel served in the Revolution in both MA & VT.

The four children included in this family group are placed here by information from Pat Boyden, a Remington descendent. I have verified Heman, but not the other three.

He is probably the Daniel Remington (looks like David but unclear) age 86 VT, a pauper, living at Starksboro, Addison Co., VT, with Benjamin & Nancy Johns in the 1850 Federal Census.

Daniel married Hannah Unknown Bef 1800. Hannah was born Abt 1774; died Bef 1 Jun 1850. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Benjamin is age 88 and living with his son Aaron and family in Savoy, Berkshire, MA. Next door is his son James and family. (Probable) son Benjamin and his family are nearby, too.

According to Boyd Scott Remington's chart, Ben's parents lived in Cummington, MA. That is why I think his wife is Sarah Seamans, based on the marriage data. Otherwise, she married a different Benj. Remington.

The death record at Savoy, MA, says Mr. Benjamin Remington died of old age at 94y 4m 9d.

Benjamin married Sarah "Sally" Seamans 14 Feb 1793, Adams, MA. Sarah (daughter of Aaron Seamans and Lillis Unknown) was born 25 Feb 1766, Rehoboth, MA; died 29 Dec 1827. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.)

This Joseph Remington is probably the one listed in the 1810 Federal Census at Wallingford, Rutland, VT: 1 FWM<10, 1 FWM 10-15, 1 FWM 26-44, 3 FWF<10, 1 FWF 26-44; total 7. Also, Stephen & Joshua Remington (likely his brothers) are listed in the same town.

In the 1850 Federal Census, this Joseph appears to be the Joseph Remington, age 84 b. MA, living at Chester, Warren, NY, with Wiliam Remington, 30 b. VT, and Almira 35, b. PA and their daughter Laura A. 8, b. NY. They are next door to Jeremiah 44 & Polly 45 Remington, and their two (presumed) daughters, Sylvia & Mary.

This Joseph has often been confused with Joseph Remington of Windsor, VT, our closer relative, who, by his own affidavit, was born (about) 13 June 1757 at Hopkinton, RI.

Joseph married Loranna Griffiths Abt 1795. Loranna (daughter of Jeremiah Griffiths and Eunice Unknown) was born Abt 1779, VT; died Bef 1 Jun 1850. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

"Stephen, son of Joshua, baptized 4 July 1772" (Abington, MA VRs). The name of Joshua's wife is not mentioned in this record. From the notation in the records, it may have been customary to name only the father in the baptismal record.

Stephen's name is listed with this family on a chart drawn up by Lois Remington Smith of San Jose, CA. His name and birth date also appear on an online genealogy by Ann M. Mcallister.

I have made an assumption that this is the Stephen Remington who married Thankful Hill and that their children belong here on this family tree. This is based largely on birth places and locations of subsequent generations of assumed cousins.

Researcher Pat Boyden has come to the same conclusion; quote: "Speculation is that Stephen and his brother Joseph B. Remington went to Rutland, VT. He named a son Orange born 1801 and Joseph B. named a son Orange B. in 1810."

He is likely the Stephen Remington listed in the Federal Census of 1810 at Wallingford, Rutland, VT: 2 FWM<10, 2 FWM 10-15, 1 FWM 26-44, 4 FWF<10, 2 FWF 16-25, 1 FWF 25-44; total 12. Also, Joseph & Joshua Remington, likely his brothers, are listed in the same town.

This family needs more research to confirm that Thankful Hill belongs here, as well as this couple's descendants.

In summary, concerning Stephen Remington who married Thankful Hill: I am not sure of the identity of this Stephen's parents, but placing the marriage here with this particular Stephen (see baptismal note above) is one theory. Here is some additional info: Joshua & Ruth's son Uriah lived in Rutland Co., VT before moving to Delaware Co., NY; their son Joshua died in Chittenden Co., VT, but Joshua's children were born in Rutland Co., VT; son Joseph went to Warren Co., NY; son Jonathan married a girl from Rutland Co., VT, and had children there. These may be important clues relating to Stephen (who is said to have been born c 1770 in Rutland, VT). In other words, while the births of the children were recorded at Abington, MA, there is clearly a connection with Rutland, VT. Alternatively, Stephen (who married Thankful) could be a son of Thomas Remington & Rachel Stowell; two of their sons migrated to VT. However, I think their son Stephen was probably born in MA, too. But he also would be of the correct time frame. The name Ruth among the children of Stephen & Thankful may be a clue, although certainly not proof, that he belongs to Joshua & Ruth.

"Stephen Remington was born about 1770 in Rutland, VT and died about 1830 Town of Camillus, Onondaga County, NY on the place now owned by Henry Dow. Buried in Belle Isle Cemetary. Stephen married Thankful Hill about 1790, possibly born in Rutland, died in 1816 when youngest son was born." (source: John Anderson, posting at Remington message board, Rootsweb.com)

Stephen Remington is on the list of insolvent debtors at Camillus, Onondaga Co., NY, in 1818.

Stephen married Thankful Hill Abt 1790. Thankful was born Abt 1772; died Between 1815 and 1821. [Group Sheet]

Mary married Samuel Miner 7 Jun 1802, Cummington, MA. Samuel was born 1767; died 11 Dec 1848, Windsor, MA. [Group Sheet]

Polly married Joseph Smith 12 May 1811. Joseph died 12 Feb 1869. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Boyd Scott Remington's chart places a Samuel in the family group of Joshua & Eunice Remington, but I question whether he belongs there. According to the "Oliver M. Remington Bible Records" (National DAR Records; referenced in "A Remington Family History" by Lois Remington Smith, p. C-2), Uriah & Sally Remington had a son named Samuel, so it seems more likely that these dates belong to that family. Consequently, I am assigning these dates to this particular Samuel. (My research at the Delaware Co., NY, web site and in census data seems to confirm this.)

The 1810 Federal Census at Delaware Co., NY, lists him as Samuel Ramington.

In the 1820 Federal Census at Meredith, Delaware Co., NY, Samuel Remington's household consists of: 3 males<10, 1 male 26 - 45 (Samuel), 2 females<10, 2 females 10-16, and 1 female 26-45 (wife). This data suggests that at that time they had two daughters (names?) born c 1805-1810, and two more daughters (probably Nancy & Lucinda) and three sons born c 1810-1820 (possibly Clark, Seba, & Wiliam).

In the 1830 census, Samuel is still at Meredith. His household consists of: 1 male<5, 1 male 5<10, 2 males 15<20, 1 male 20<30, 1 male 40<50, 1 female<5, 1 female 5<10, 1 female 10<15, 1 female 20<30, 1 female 40<50, and 1 female 60<70. This suggests that the family had a son and a daughter born c 1825-1830, a son and a daughter born c 1820-1825, one daughter born c 1815-1820, two sons born c 1810-1815, one son and one daughter born c 1800-1810, in addition to Samuel and his wife (40-50), and one older woman (60-70) who may have been a mother or mother-in-law. It seems likely that the household of 1830 included Samuel's married son Seba and his wife and their young children.

In the 1840 census, Samuel and Seba Remington are both listed as heads of households, probably living next to each other. Samuel's household consists of: 2 males 15-20 (Nelson and Martin?), 1 male 20-30 (possibly George, about 20 - 25), 1 male 30-40 (possibly William, about 27), 1 male 60-70 (Samuel), 1 female 10-15 (probably Delia), 1 female 15-20 (?), 2 females 20-30 (Lucinda and ?), and 1 female 50-60 (his wife).

In the 1850 Federal Census, Samuel Remington (surname illegible), age 79 VT, is living at Meredith, Delaware Co., NY. In the household with him are Marcus 66 CT (female), and Delia 21 NY. Also, in the same dwelling but different family group are Linus & Nancy Bronson, ages 36? & 33?. Nancy is probably Samuel's daughter. They are all living next to William & Caroline Remington and family, and on the other side of William are Seba & Delia (should be Julia?) Remington and family.

"Records of the Supervisors of the County of Delaware October 5th, 1813" transcribed by Linda Ogborn, includes notations of payments made to the town account by Daniel Remington and Samuel Remington. (source: Delaware Co., NY, historical web site)

"Sam Remington" had a mill -- probably a flour mill -- in Delaware County in the 1820s. The 1850 census shows his occupation as miller.

Samuel married Lois Wattles Abt 1805. Lois was born Abt 1786, CT; died 1865, Delaware Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Daniel & Nancy, ages 65 & 55, are living at Franklin, Delaware Co., NY. With them are four of their chidlren: Wilson 26, Maria 19, Ann E. 17, & Harriett 15.

In 1860 Daniel is age 75, still living in Franklin and apparently widowed. With him is son Wilson, married to Betsey and with an infant son; also daughter Maria is in the household. In addition, Sally N. Rich, age 60 is listed last. Is she Daniel's wife listed with her maiden name, or is she a sister-in-law?

The 1850 census has Daniel's birthplace as NY, but the 1860 says VT, which I think is correct.

The following information was found on the Delaware County, NY, web site:

At an annual meeting held in school District No 16 in Franklin, NY, on the evening of 6 of Oct 1834, among the officers elected for the ensuing year was Daniel Remington.

In 1853/54 Daniel Remington paid $25 toward the construction of a Baptist church in East Franklin, NY.

Daniel died at age 80 of inflammation of the lungs.

Daniel married Nancy Rich Abt 1813. Nancy was born Abt 1795, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1850. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Was there really a Silas in this family, or should this be Sylvia?

Notes:

I have a question as to whether this should be Sally and Silas is really Sylvia; in other words, possibly there was no Silas in this family and someone misread the name.

According to the 1880 census listing of Sylvia's son Daniel, she was born in VT.

Sylvia married James Valentine Abt 1807. James was born Abt 1784, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1850. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

According to the 1880 census listing of her son, Patty was born in NY.

Patty married Elisha Boyd 1818, Delaware Co., NY. Elisha (son of William Boyd and Margery Taylor) was born 1795, Cambridge, MA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.)

He may be the Jeremiah Remington listed in the 1810 Federal Census at Huntington, Chittenden, VT: 1 FWM<10, 1 FWM 26-44, 1 FWF 26-44; total 3. If correct, this means he must have had a young son at this time.

In the 1830 Federal Census, Jeremiah is age 40 - 50, and his wife is in the same age bracket. In their household are two males 15 - 20 and one male 20 - 30, as well as two females 5 - 10 and two females 15 - 20. If these young people are all his children, he had at least three sons and four daughters. They are living at Huntington, Chittenden, VT. They are still there in 1850, when Jeremiah is age 66 and Mary is 72. Lucinda Remington, age 30, and Joshua Remington, age 90, are in the home, as well as Charles Firman, 30, and Mary Firman, 68.

Gretchen Paulsen has confirmed that Jeremiah died in 1852, as noted on his gravestone.

Janet Muff sent me images of the will and probate documents of Jeremiah Griffiths. As it is unclear when he died, she suggests that it's a possibility that Jeremiah Remington was the biological son of Jeremiah Griffiths. However, this needs more research to confirm.

Jeremiah married Mary Ross Abt 1809. Mary (daughter of Ezekiel Ross and Elizabeth Rounds) was born Abt 1777, RI; died 3 Apr 1853, Huntington, Chittenden, VT; was buried , Huntington Center Cemetery, Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Eunice married Jesse Ross 1801, Danby, Rutland Co., VT. Jesse was born 1781, New Providence, Windsor Co., MA; died 5 Aug 1863, Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT; was buried , Huntington Center Cemetery, Huntington, VT. [Group Sheet]

Mandana married Eleazer Ross 1811, VT. Eleazer was born 21 Jul 1788, VT; died 26 May 1832, Huntington Chittenden Co., VT; was buried , Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.)

In the 1850 Federal Census, Joshua Remington, Jr., appears to be age 54 and living in Danby, Rutland, VT. His wife is not there, so apparently she has passed away. In the household are son Hosea, and Hulda, assumed to be Hosea's wife, and their two young children.

In the 1860 Federal Census, Joshua Remington is age 70 and living at Schroon, Essex Co., NY, with his son Justus and family.

In 1870, Joshua is age 80 and living with son Ziba and family at Horicon, Warren Co., NY.

One local history says he was born about 1790. It also states that he lived at Wallingford and Hinesburg, VT, and in later years at Huntington. (source: "New England Families" Vol. I, Genealogies and Memorials, p. 381)

The name of Joshua's wife, as well as a list of some of his children, came from "New England Families" Vol. I, Genealogies and Memorials, p. 381. Also, her name, and birth/death dates for Polly & Joshua, are found in the book "Descendants of Roger Williams" Book III, Sayles Line, p. 203. This source says Joshua was born c1790 at Wall, VT.

"History of Worcester Co., MA" p 98 says he married Diadama (source: Google Books). Rootsweb's Worldconnect has a family tree showing Joshua's second wife as Diademia Clark, date of marriage 1 June 1835.

Joshua married Polly Sayles Abt 1812. Polly (daughter of Ezekiel Sayles, Jr. and Martha Ross) was born 5 Mar 1790, Wallingford, Rutland, VT; died 25 May 1834, Hinesburg, Chittenden, VT; was buried , Newell Stokes, Starksboro, Addison Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Stephen and his family appear to be in the 1830 Federal Census at Huntington, Chittenden, VT. Besides Stephen, the household includes one male age 15 - 20, one male age 10 - 15, and another male age 5 - 10; also, two females age 10 - 15, as well as his wife, age 30 - 40. Therefore, it appears that Stephen & Rhoda had at least three sons and two daughters.

A family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect has his date of birth as 7 Sep 1792. However, if Stephen belongs in this family group and if his brother is Joseph born 15 Nov 1792, at least one of those dates must be incorrect -- unless they were twins born two months apart. This family needs more research.

See note for Melissa, possible daughter.

Stephen married Rhoda Perkins Abt 1813. Rhoda (daughter of James Perkins and Bridget Corley Doud) was born Abt 5 Apr 1789, Huntington, Chittenden, VT; died 6 Dec 1872, Huntington, Chittenden, VT; was buried , Huntington Center Cemetery, Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I have made an assumption that this Joseph belongs in this family, based on a manuscript at New England Historic Genealogical Society which is referenced on Rootsweb's Worldconnect; this family tree also references Valerie George as a source. I have not yet studied this manuscript personally (Book of Ross by Ernest E. Fewkes), nor have I contacted Valerie George for confirmation. This family needs more research.

In the 1850 Federal Census, the family is living in Ashford, Cattaraugus County, NY:
Joseph Remington, 58, male, farmer, b. VT
Amanda, 55, female, b. CT
Bela C., 22, male, carpenter/joiner, b. NY
Melinda, 21, female, b. NY
Joseph, 17, male, b. NY
Persis, 15, female, b. NY
Aurora, 28, female, b. NY
Samuel Canfield, 22, male, b. NY

In the 1860 Federal Census, the family is still at Ashford:
Joseph Rimmington 67 VT, farmer
Amanda 64 VT
Amora 38 NY
Riley Williams 28 NY
Persis W. 24 NY
Ida 3 mos. NY

Son Bela and family are living next to Joseph and family.

Joseph Remington was Justice of the Peace at Ashford in 1841 and 1845.

Joseph married Amanda Sackett 9 Mar 1817, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. Amanda (daughter of Aaron Sackett and Phoebe Hart) was born Abt 17 Aug 1795, Litchfield, Litchfield Co., CT; died 28 Jan 1871, Ashford, Cattaraugus Co., NY; was buried , Riceville Cemetery, Cattaraugus Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Jesse & Patty are living at Starksborough, Addison Co., VT. They have three children in the household: Eunice, Loyal, & Joel. I think the two older children are biological children of Joel, Patty's first husband and brother of her second. They are near to Sydnia (?) & Lorinda Sayles and family, possibly related to Patty. This household includes Polly Sayles, 80 RI.

In 1860, Jesse & Martha are still at Starksborough, with son Joel, 15.

One online genealogy has his date of death as 8 March 1875 at Huntington, VT. I have not been able to find him in the 1870 census.

Jesse married Clara "Clarissa" Eddy 1819, VT. Clara was born Abt 1800; died Bef 1840. [Group Sheet]

Jesse married Martha "Patty" Sayles Abt 1840. Martha (daughter of Ezekiel Sayles, Jr. and Martha Ross) was born 10 Aug 1801, VT; died 24 Mar 1868, VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

A family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect has this Lydia as dying 17 Oct 1846 in Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT, and buried in Sugar Hill Cemetery in Wallingford.

Lydia married Reuben Smith 17 Nov 1817. Reuben (son of Abraham Smith) was born 17 Aug 1790, Surry, Cheshire Co., NH; died 6 May 1866, NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Joel appears to be in the 1830 Federal Census at Huntington, Chittenden, VT, with a wife and young daughter, age 5 - 10. He is living in the same town as his brothers Jeremiah and Stephen.

Another genealogy has his date of death as 28 Dec 1832.

One family tree has a daughter Emily born in 1826, but there is only one daughter found in the 1830 census.

Joel married Martha "Patty" Sayles Abt 1824. Martha (daughter of Ezekiel Sayles, Jr. and Martha Ross) was born 10 Aug 1801, VT; died 24 Mar 1868, VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Isaac is age 62, living at Oswego, Oswego Co., NY. With him is son Solomon and his family, as well as Huldah & Joseph, probably two more of his children. Living two doors down are Nathan & Rhoda Remington; I am making an assumption that Nathan is another son in this family.

Pat Boyden's genealogy has Isaac's date of death as 11 Nov 1860. However, I have not been able to locate him anywhere in the 1860 census. (This needs more research to confirm.)

Isaac & Huldah also may have had two additional daughters, named Sarah & Betsy (per notes sent by Charles Norman Hill).

Follow-up to above note: I have found a couple in the 1850 census, named Oliver & Sarah Morgan. From her daughter Brintha's gravestone inscription, I know that Sarah's maiden name is Remington. Therefore, I am including Sarah as a daughter in this family group (needs further research to confirm).

Isaac married Huldah Doty Abt 2 Dec 1809, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. Huldah (daughter of Jorathmiel Doty and Sarah Look) was born Abt 15 Apr 1789, Rochester, Plymouth Co., MA; died 1849, South Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Rufus's gravestone give his years as 1792-1866.

The 1830 Federal Census shows Rufus Remington at Rodman, Jefferson Co., NY. The household consists of: 1 male <5, 3 males 5<10, 1 male 10<15, 1 male 30<40, 1 female <5, and 1 female 30<40.

The 1840 Federal Census at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT, lists Rufus Remmington Jr., Truman Remmington, Rufus Remmington, and Jonathan Remmington (age 20-30 OR age 60-70?) these last two listed and probably living next to each other. Is this Jonathan Rufus's son, and if so, who are the older individuals with him?

Amos Gorton, husband of Rhoda Remington, is also listed with the above Remingtons.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Rufus & Rebecca are both listed as age 60, living at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT, near Amos, Rufus Jr., and John J. B. Remington and their families. In the household is Rebecca, age 10. I am assuming she is their youngest.

In the Federal Census of 1860, Rufus & Rebecca, ages 65 & 63, are still at Wallingford. Next to them are John J. Remington and family.

Including Rufus in this family group as a son of Jonathan & Martha needs confirmation. I obtained this connection from Rootsweb's Worldconnect and other genealogies which have been sent to me. Information from subsequent generations was obtained from census data.

The 1850 census at Wallingford lists several other young adult Remingtons who may be children of this family: Octavia 22 (1828), Prudence and Amy 18 (1832), and Thankful 16 (1834).

Alma — J. Southard. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I cannot locate John in any census earlier than 1840.

In the Federal Census of 1840, John Remington is listed at Pitcairn, St. Lawrence Co., NY. The household consists of: 1 male <5, 1 male 10<15, 1 male 15<20, 1 male 40<50, 2 females <5, 1 female 5<10, 2 females 15<20, and 1 female 40<50.

In the 1850 Federal Census, John & Susan Remington, ages 53 & 48, are still living at Pitcairn, Saint Lawrence, NY. With them are: Melissa 10 and Roxy 7.

In the 1860 Federal Census, he appears to be the John Remington age 64 VT, living at Diana, Lewis Co., NY. His wife Susana is 59. Nearby are the families of Amos Remington and Nathan Remington who are first cousins to each other. I have made an assumption that he is their uncle, based on his age and place of birth.

In 1870 they are still at Diana, NY, ages 75 & 69.

In 1880, they are probably John & Susan Remington at Diana, NY, ages 90 & 78. His (presumed) brother Jonathan is also in the same town, age 78.

The intersection of NY Rts. 3 & 812 in Diana, Lewis Co., NY, is called "Remington Corners."

The following notes are from Mary Lou Raftery:

"The original member of the Remington family in the Remington Corners area, John, father of Henry Remington, built a log house back of the Cassisy home."

John applied for pension benefits from the War of 1812. The application states that he was born 7 Nov 1790 in Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. Date of application is 15 Sep 1879; he was 89 yrs old. John listed the locations where he had lived since his discharge from the service on 18 Sep 1814 as follows:
Mt. Holly, VT; 12 yrs; 1814 - 1826 [Rutland Co.]
Champion, Jefferson Co., NY; 6 months; 1826
Denmark, Lewis Co., NY; 8 yrs; 1826 - 1832
Pitcairn, St. Lawrence Co., NY; 14 yrs; 1832 - 1846 [see 1850 census notes above]
Diana, Lewis Co., NY; 32 yrs; 1846 - 1878

In the application John said he was poor and that his children could no longer care for him and his wife, who are now aged and dependent on the town, which allows him and his wife only $1 per person each week.

His physical appearance is described as 5' 2 1/2" tall, blue eyes, dark complexion and black hair.

Among the 36 people who signed the petition are: two Graves individuals, J. Remington, B. Collar, Smith, 3 Carley individuals, Orville Austin, A. Remington, and others.

The petition was denied because they could find no record of John's service.

John — Susanna Sprague. Susanna was born Abt 1801, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1880, Diana, Lewis Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Rhoda — Amos Gorton. Amos (son of Benjamin Gorton and Avis Hulett) was born 20 May 1777, Warwick, RI; died Aft 1 Jun 1840. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Information on Phebe's marriage was obtained from a descendant, Toni (Clark) Thompson. I have made an assumption that this married belongs to this particular Phebe Remington, based on all available evidence: her age in the census records, place of marriage, and state of birth.

A family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect has her date of death as follows: 21 MAY 1863 in La Crosse Co., WI (source: Wagoner Tree).

Phebe married John B. Congdon 9 Mar 1819, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. John (son of Joseph Congdon and Hannah Brown) was born Abt 1802, VT; died 1888, Onalaska, La Crosse Co., WI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the Federal Census of 1830, listings for Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT, show Jonathan Rimmington and Jonathan Rimmington Jr. Jonathan Jr. has three children in the household: 1 female 5<10, 1 female <5, and 1 male <5.

In the Federal Census of 1840, a Jonathan Remington appears at Wallingford, VT. However, according to Mary Lou Raftery, this Jonathan is at Diana, Lewis Co., NY (not accessible at ancestry.com).

Information on the 1865 census at Diana, NY, is from Mary Lou Raftery: Jonathan Remington 61 VT, Nathan Remington son-in-law 37 Jeff. NY, Rhoda Remington 34 child VT, Emily J. Walod 19 adopted Jeff. NY, Jonathan A. Bowhall 4 adopted Lewis Co., NY.

In the 1870 census, Johnathan Remington 66 VT is living at Champion, Jefferson Co., NY. He is with married daughter Phebe C. and her husband Abner Smith and famiy.

In the Federal Census of 1880, Jonathan Remington is age 78 VT, living with the family of George Collar in Diana, Lewis Co., NY. Jonathan is identified as grandfather. His brother John, age 90 in the census, is also living at Diana, NY.

Who was his wife? Where is he in the censuses of 1850 and 1860?

The intersection of NY Rts. 3 & 812 in Diana, Lewis Co., NY, is called "Remington Corners."

Credit note: The list of Jonathan's children and descendants (except for Phebe Celestia and her family, and the above-mentioned George Collar and his family) came to me from Mary Lou Raftery.

Jonathan married Unknown Wife Abt 1822, VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Nathan Remington is age 45, and living at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT, in the household of Alfred & Rebecca Hill or Hull. A notation on the census says he is insane.

The following quote is courtesy of Mary Lou Raftery, and excerpted from "People of Wallingford" by Birney C. Batcheller, Stephen Daye Press, Brattleboro, VT; p 207: "For many years the town of Wallingford provided for paupers by auctioning them off to the lowest bidder at the annual town meeting. There was one town charge named Nathan Remington. About 1840, Alfred Hull said he would take Nathan for the work he could do. So Nathan went to the Hull home for one year and remained there until he died in 1885. He was a strong, perfectly healthy man who had a strange mental twist, said to have been caused by being jilted by the girl of his choice. He was a good worker, especially good in caring for the oxen, pigs, and poultry. He was trustworthy and had an excellent memory. He was a familiar figure on the streets and called by name by most of the residents for very many years. In the Hull home his meals were served at a small table by a window in one corner of the big kitchen. The chair placed there was his place to sit. He could read and used to read the Herald aloud to Nancy McLaughlin, who did not know the alphabet, but was an excellent worker in the Hull kitchen for nearly twenty years. Whenever Nathan came to a word he could not pronounce he always said 'sunthin' or nother' and read on. He survived Mr. Hull by ten years and Mrs. Hull by four months but was cared for in the home. His funeral was held in the Hull home and he was buried at the south end of the Hull lot according to a promise given him by Mrs. Hull. A good-sized marble headstone was put at his grave, bearing his name, date of death, and probably age, 80 years."

An administrator's settlement of Nathan's will names known family members (including nephews) as follows: John Remington, Amos Remington, Jonathan Remington, Sylvia Perkins, Benjamin Gorton, Clarinda Warner, & Jane Conger; possibly two living brothers, John Remington & Jonathan Remington. (source: scan sent by Mary Lou Raftery)

Notes:

It appears in the 1830 census that Truman Remington is married and has three daughters under age five. The family is living at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT.

In 1840 the family is still at Wallingford. He is listed near Amos Gorton, Rufus Remington, and Jonathan Remington. It appears that there are three sons and two daughters in the household.

Octavia Remington 22 VT and Prudence Remington 18 VT, living at Wallingford, VT, in the 1850 census, could possibly be Truman's daughters.

Truman married Jane Bell 1828, Rutland Co., VT. Jane (daughter of Ralph Randolph Wheelock Bell and Desire Reynolds) was born Abt 1810, NY or Canada; died Aft 1 Jun 1870. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.)

Note: I have not yet verified that Daniel belongs to Daniel & Hannah; this needs more research.

In the 1840 Federal Census, Daniel Remington is living at Addison Co., VT. The household consists of 1 male 40 - 50, 1 male 10 - 15, 1 female 40 - 50, and 1 female 5 - 10. This looks like the correct family.

In the 1850 Federal Census, "David" & Mary Remington are ages 64 & 43, living at Leicester, Addison Co., VT. Their daughter Abbey, 21, is with them. Next door is son Adoniram and his family.

In 1860, D. & Clarasa Remington, ages 58 & 49, are at Leicester, VT.

In 1870, "David" & Clara Remington, ages 69 & 53, are satill at Leiester, VT.

In 1880 David (or Daniel -- can't tell which) & Clarissa Remington are ages 80 and 64, still at Leicester, Addison Co., VT. The census says David was born in CT, but that is probably an error. With them is son Adoniram J. Remington, 52.

Daniel married Mercy Mary Titus 24 Aug 1825, Salisbury, Addison Co., VT. Mercy was born 1797, VT; died 22 Oct 1858, Leicester, Addison Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Daniel married Clarissa Unknown Between Oct 1858 and Jun 1860, VT. Clarissa was born Between 1811 and 1817; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.)

In the 1850 Federal Census, Herman & Elvira Remington, ages 45 & 38, are living at Starksboro, Addison Co., VT. They have a daughter Sylvina, age 11. Also with them is Hannah Remington, 73. They are living next door to Heman's widowed sister Laury Hill and family, and near Heman's sister Ruth Ross and family.

In 1860 Heman & "Susan" Remington, both aged 45, are at Starksboro. Their daughter is married, and she and her husband, Monteville Ross, are living with them.

In 1870 Heman & Alvira, ages 65 & 59, are at Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT. The Ross family is still with them, including two grandchildren, Ada & Butler.

Heman — Elvira Rollins. Elvira was born Between 1811 and 1812, VT; died 2 Nov 1886, Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT; was buried , Maplewood Cemetery, Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Ruth — Stephen Ross. Stephen was born Abt 1805, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Laura married Ziba Hill Abt 1830. Ziba was born 1801, VT; died 27 Apr 1850, Starksboro, Addison Co., VT; was buried , Huntington Center Cemetery, Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Somewhere I believe I found Sarah in the 1850 census, but now I can not find her again. Will keep trying.

Sarah married Phineas Spurr 23 Dec 1829, Stephentown, NY. Phineas (son of Lemuel Spurr and Abigail Unknown) was born 26 Jan 1779; died 15 Jul 1838, Pittsfield, MA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Aaron and his family are living in Savoy, Berkshire, MA. With them is his elderly father, Benjamin. Brother James is next door with his family. Also nearby in the same town is (probable) brother Benjamin and his family. Another neighboring family is that of Amos Deming, possibly related to Laura.

Aaron was appointed guardian for the orphaned children of his brother Reuben.

Aaron and his two eldest sons served as deacons at the Baptist Church in Savoy. His brother-in-law, Deacon Amos Deming, served as pastor for 14 years (for more information on this family group, see "A Remington Family History" compiled by Lois Remington Smith).

According to the death record, Deacon Aaron Remington died at age 63 of typhoid fever. His father died later that year at age 94. Their death records are on the same page of the Savoy, MA, death book.

Cemetery info from find-a-grave:
The location is described as "1/10 of a Mile North of Route 116" and "Walled up plot on Simon Le Marre's Farm (c. 1946) in the South East Corner of the town"

Aaron married Laura Deming 26 Oct 1817, Savoy, MA. Laura (daughter of John Deming and Elizabeth Wells) was born 7 Oct 1794, Wethersfield, CT; died 26 Apr 1867, Charlemont, MA; was buried , Deming Cemetery, Savoy, MA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

A notation in the death record says "insane."

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.)

He may be the Benjamin Remington, Jr., of Savoy who on 16 Apr 1836 had his name legally changed to Benjamin Franklin Remington. (I believe this is correct because he is named as Benj F. in his son Henry's marriage record.) It should be noted that John Remington of nearby North Adams, MA, also had a son named Benjamin Franklin Remington b1799.

This Ben, Jr., may also be the Benjamin Franklin Remington who served the Baptist church in Savoy, as well as several others in Franklin County, as a Baptist minister from 1820 to 1855 (see p. 17 of the Remington genealogy compiled by Lois Remington Smith).

For the present time, I am making an assumption that the census data for Benjamin & Lydia Remington, living in Savoy, MA, in the 1850 and 1860 censuses pertains to this particular Benjamin. In 1850 it appears that this family is living near Aaron & James Remington and their families, and their father Benjamin. It makes sense that this is their brother. The dates match, also.

In 1850 Benjamin Remington is 50 and Lydia is 48. They have four children: Andrew 18, Ellen 16, Emma 13, & Franklin 10. I think their ages may not be precise, based on other evidence.

In 1860 Benjamin F. Remington is 60 and Lydia is 57. Son Franklin B. is with them, age 15; as well as Martha J. Cowen, 34, tailoress.

Note: Other than the four children found in the 1850 census, the names and dates for these children came from Pat Boyden's Remington genealogy, and have not as yet been verified by me.

Benjamin married Lydia Rice 21 Apr 1822, Savoy, Berkshire, MA. Lydia (daughter of Daniel Rice and Sarah Brown) was born 8 Jun 1803, Conway, Franklin Co., MA; died Aft 1 Jun 1860. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The names of Reuben's children came from a Remington genealogy by Pat Boyden.

Reuben married Sarah Sholes 12 Oct 1825, Worthington, MA. Sarah was born Abt 1804; died 21 Feb 1853, Plainfield, Hampshire Co., MA; was buried , Hilltop Cemetery, Plainfield, MA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, James and family are living in Savoy, Berkshire, MA. Next door is his father Benjamin, age 88, and brother Aaron and family.

James married Rosamond Bird Abt Oct 1831, Savoy, Berkshire Co., MA. Rosamond was born Abt 1813, MA; died Aft 1 Jun 1870. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The marriage record in 1863 says it is his second marriage, and Sarah's third. His parents are given as Benj. Remington and Sarah Simonds. I have made an assumption that he belongs to these parents, based on the similarity of names and the location.

I have not been able to find Phidellio in any of the other censuses.

Phidellio married Sarah Weatherbee 11 Jan 1863, West Boylston, Worcester Co., MA. Sarah was born Abt 1802, Stow, Middlesex Co., MA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I am making an assumption that Silvia is the daughter of Joseph Remington of Wallingford, VT, because she was born in Wallingford. (needs further research)

Notes:

I have placed Betsey as this particular Joseph's wife, and these children as his children, based on his date of birth and his age in the various censuses; also, the location of their parents' birth in the 1880 census agrees. Therefore, I have made an assumption that this family belongs to this Joseph born 21 Dec 1798.

In the 1850 Federal Census, the family is living at Kingsbury, Washington Co., NY:
Joseph Remington 52 VT farmer
Betsey 43 VT
Gilbert 23 VT
Robert 20 VT
Albert 16 VT
Allen 11 VT

In the 1860 Federal Census, the family is living at Hartford, Washington Co., NY:
Joseph Remington 61 VT farmer
Betsey 53 VT
Robert 30 VT
Albert 26 VT
Allen 21 VT
Ann 22 NY (possibly Albert's wife?)

In the 1870 Federal Census, the family is living at Fort Ann, Washington Co., NY:
Joseph Remington 71 VT farmer
Betsey 63 VT
Gilbert 43 VT
Robert 40 VT

In the 1880 Federal Census, they are living at South Bay, Washington Co., NY:
Joseph Remington 81 VT (MA/VT) farmer
Betsey 73 VT (CT/VT)
Robert 50 VT (VT/VT) (born without use of his limbs)

Joseph married Betsey Edgerton Abt 1826, VT. Betsey (daughter of Robert Douglas Edgerton and Anna Bull) was born 21 Jan 1807, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1880, Washington Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Jeremiah, 44, and Polly, 45 (his second wife?), are living in Chester, Warren, NY, with daughters Sylvia 18 & Mary 6. They are near Jeremiah's brother William and his family, and their father, Joseph.

In the Federal Census of 1870, Jeremiah & Polly are ages 64 & 65, living at Chester, Warren Co., NY.

In 1880, Jerry & Polly Remington, ages 74 & 75, are still living at Chester, Warren Co., NY. Jerry is a shoemaker.

In his daughter Fanny's marriage record at Lowell, MA, he is called Jereboam.

Jeremiah married Harriett Thayer Abt 1821. Harriett died Between 1832 and 1843. [Group Sheet]

Jeremiah married Polly Unknown Abt 1843. Polly was born Abt 1805, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.)

I am making an assumption that William is a son of Joseph, because he & Almira are living with Joseph in the 1850 Federal Census at Chester, Warren Co., NY (needs more research). They are next door to (presumed) brother Jeremiah and family.

In 1870 there is a William Remington, age 52, living at Queensbury, Warren Co., NY, with wife Charlotte, 36, and three children. It says he was born in NY. This may be a second marriage for this particular William, although the occupation has changed from farmer to lawyer. (needs more research)

William married Almira B. Unknown Abt 1841. Almira was born 1817, PA; died 23 May 1852, NY; was buried , West Church Cemetery, Chestertown, Warren Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Important note: I am not sure that this is the Reuben Remington who married Elizabeth and is listed in the censuses cited below. However, I am placing the family information here as a tentative possibility, subject to change if information becomes available on a different but concurrent Reuben Remington.

In the Federal Census of 1830, a Reubin Remington is listed at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. The household consists of: 2 males <5, 1 male 30<40, 1 female 5<10, & 1 female 30<40. He is listed next to Benjamin Remington age 50<60 (who is he?).

In the Federal Census of 1840, Reuben Remington is listed as living at Dickinson, Franklin Co., NY. The household consists of: 1 male <5, 2 males 10<15, 1 male 40<50, 1 female <5, 2 females 5<10, & 1 female 40<50.

In the Federal Census of 1850, a Reuben Remington 51 (England) is listed as living at Diana, Lewis Co., NY. His wife is Elizabeth 52 (England). Their children are: Harriett 14 NY, Harvey 11 NY, & Michael 8 NY. They are living near other Remingtons in the town.

In the Federal Census of 1860, Reuben 61 VT & Elizabeth 60 MA are living at Dickinson, Franklin Co., NY. One son, Harley E. 20 NY, is living with them.

Several family trees at Rootsweb's Worldconnect have Elizabeth's maiden name as Kelly or Kelley. A tree by "Cyndee" lists a son Reuben for this couple, born 19 Apr 1827 in Rutland, VT. Another tree by Jacqueline Ann Richardson includes a daughter Lucetta, born 26 Sep 1824 in Danby, Rutland Co.,VT. Robert Pero's tree includes a son Obadiah born 2 Sep 1829. I have included these three children in the family group (needs more research to confirm).

Reuben married Elizabeth Kelley Abt 1822. Elizabeth was born Between 1798 and 1800, MA; died Aft 1 Jun 1860, NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the Federal Census of 1850, Ransom & Matilda Remington, ages 52 VT & 49 MA, are living at Dayton, Cattaraugus Co., NY. They have seven children in the household: Silas 18, Laura 15, Adaline 13, Emerson 11, Emery 8, Olive 8, & Alzada 5.

In the Federal Census of 1860, Ransom & Matilda Remington, ages 63 & 60, are still living at Dayton. Four children are in the household: Emmerson 21, Emma J. 18, Alzada 15, and Eri 12. (Eri is named in Ransom's will, but I believe he is a grandson, based on the obituary for Arvilla, wife of Charles -- unless there were two individuals named Eri born around the same year)

In the Federal Census of 1870, Ransom & Matilda Remington, ages 73 VT & 65 MA, are still living at Dayton, Cattaraugus Co., NY. They are next to Silas & Arvilla Remington and family.

In the Federal Census of 1880, Ransom Remington is age 86 VT (VT/VT), still living at Dayton, Cattaraugus Co., NY. He is living with son-in-law David Comstock and family.

Ransom's will, made in 1881, says he was 86 years old at that time. If true, he was born c 1795. (source: D. Rockwell, a descendant)

Nancy Olejniczak sent me a copy of a "Petition for Proof of Will, to the Surrogate of the County of Cattaraugus." This document refers to Ransom's will dated 3 Oct 1881. This will appointed as Executors Francis E. Haines and Emery Jane Comstock. The document lists all the heirs and next of kin of Ransom, along with their places of residence. Listed are: Lewis Remington, Hiram Remington, Arminal (?) Bunstow, Emerson Remington, Adaline Rockwell, Olive Robinson, Emory Jane Comstock, Silas Remington, Alzada Comstock, Eri Remington, Silas Remington, and Laura S. Chattuck. Also listed are numerous grandchildren. [My note -- these last three are grandchildren -- children of son Charles who died bef. 1855)

From findagrave.com (needs more research to be confirmed):
"There is no stone for Ransom. Cemetery records show that he owned a plot of eight graves but do not indicate who was buried there. The only stones in the area are for his wife Matilda and son Emerson. Lacking other proof, it is assumed that Ransom was buried here next to his wife. Ransom came to Dayton in the early 1830s from Marcellus, Onondaga Co., NY. His brother Orange arrived at about the same time and they might have traveled together."

Ransom married Matilda Eddy Abt 1818, VT. Matilda was born Abt 1800, MA; died 13 Dec 1873, NY; was buried , Markhams Cemetery, Dayton, Cattaraugus Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Thankful married Henry Winchell Abt 1826, NY. Henry was born 1 Apr 1805, VT; died 19 Dec 1889, Camillus, Onondaga Co., VT; was buried , Belle Isle Cemetery, Camillus, Onondaga Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

One genealogy says Stephen died in 1828, but he appears to be in the 1850 census with his wife Jane, living at Geddes, Onondaga Co., NY. They are both age 40, he born VT and she NY. Living with them is Mary Nobler 18 NY.

In the same town is William Remington and family, Stephen's brother.

In the Federal Census of 1860, Stephen & Jane, both 49, are still at Geddes.

In the Federal Census of 1870, Stephen & Jane, both 63, are still at Geddes.

In the Federal Census of 1880, Stephen Remington is a widower age 72, a boarder and a farmer living at Mondovi, Buffalo Co., WI. The census says he was born in VT and both parents were born in VT.

Stephen married Jane Unknown Bef 1850. Jane was born 2 Aug 1808; died 25 Nov 1872, Camillus, Onondaga Co., NY; was buried , Belle Isle Cemetery, Camillus, Onondaga Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Harriet married Josiah Phillips Abt 1827. Josiah was born 27 Jul 1806; died 21 Jan 1854; was buried , Belle Isle Cemetery, Camillus, Onondaga Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

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."

Orange married Mary D. Mayo 1 Nov 1835. Mary was born 5 Sep 1817, NY; died 1905, Markham, NY; was buried , Markham Cemetery, Dayton, Cattaraugus Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Meriba — John Zufelt Hudson. John was born 28 Nov 1808; died 24 Mar 1850, Van Buren, Onondaga Co., NY; was buried , Belle Isle Cemetery, Camillus, Onondaga Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I was not sure if William belonged in this family group, but Nancy Olejniczak provided information that confirmed it as fact, including date of death and name of father in the death record. Email message dated 20 Oct 2017 from Nancy Olejniczak: "In your tree there is a William Remington, suspected son of Stephen Remington. I just located a Michigan Death record for him on Family Search which gives his father's name as Stephen Remington."

One family tree has his name as William T. Remington, born 21 Aug 1821, Onondaga Co., NY.

The death record at Hersey, Osceola, MI says he died in NY, a widower age 71.

In the Federal Census of 1850, William & Caroline, ages 29 & 24, are living at Geddes, Onondaga Co., NY. They have three young children. In the same town are Stephen & Jane Remington.

In the Federal Census of 1860, William is at Camillus, Onondaga Co., NY. His wife is named Elizabeth -- not Caroline -- but she is still from PA and with approximately the same birth year as Caroline in the previous census. Perhaps she goes by both names. Or, she could be a second wife. Their ages are given as 37 & 37. They have six children.

In 1870 they are at Lysander, Onondaga Co., NY. William is 52 and Elizabeth is 48. There are two children in the household, Francis 17 and George M. 7.

William married Caroline Elizabeth Stocker Abt 1843, NY. Caroline (daughter of Benjamin Stocker) was born Abt 1826, PA; died 11 Apr 1888. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I am not sure that Clark belongs in this family, but I am placing him here based on census data for Samuel's family, as well as similarity of family names and general proximity of residence in the censuses. However, this needs more research to confirm.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Clark & Elizabeth are living at Otego, Otsego Co., NY; this is right next to Delaware County. Clark & Elizabeth have two children: Martin 3 & Mahitable 1.

In the 1860, 1870, & 1880 censuses, the family is living at Sidney, Delaware Co., NY. Several other Remingtons are also living in Delaware County, so this is one reason that I have placed Clark in the family with these Remingtons, who are all related. Also, from the census data for Samuel Remington, it seems that Samuel and his wife had a son during the time period of Clark's birth, so I have assumed that Clark is that son, most likely the oldest of the siblings. This needs more research to confirm. (see notes for Samuel)

Clark married Elizabeth Carley Abt 1846. Elizabeth (daughter of Jonathan Carley) was born 18 Jul 1823, East Sidney, Delaware Co., NY; died 27 Jul 1899, NY; was buried , Glenwood Cemetery, Delaware Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Seba & Delia (should be Julia?) Remington, ages 38 & 37, are living at Meredith, Delaware Co., NY. They are next to William & Caroline Remington, and also next to or near Samuel Remington, and their families. Seba has two children: Virgil 14 & Jane 10.

In the 1860 Federal Census, Seba & Julia are both age 44, living at Franklin, Delaware Co., NY. They are next to Herman Brownson 32 & Mary H. Brownson 31 and their family; and also next to Tracy Rich 42 & Esther Rich 35 and their family.

Seba married Julia Ann Brownson 2 Oct 1834, West Meredith, Delaware Co., NY. Julia (daughter of Elisha Brownson and Mary Hill) was born 10 Nov 1813, Meredith, Deleware Co., NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1870. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

William Remington was a trustee of the Franklin & Meredith school district in 1855 (source: Delaware Co., NY, historical web site).

William died of typhoid fever (source: Delaware Co., NY, historical web site).

In the 1850 Federal Census, William & Caroline Remington are ages 37 & 36, living at Meredith, Delaware Co., NY. with them are three children, George 8, Adeline 6, & Delia 3; also Delia E. Borns age 19. They are living with or next to William's parents and his brother Seba and family. They are also near Martin Remington, 26 NY, who is living with Harry & Lucinda Bell; Lucinda is William's sister.

On 11 June 1855 the family is at Meredith: William 42, Caroline 40, George 12, Adaline 11, Adelia 8, Samuel (father) 74, Lois (mother) 72, and Sally Ricks (servant) 52.

In the 1860 Federal Census, William & Caroline, ages 47 & 46, are still living at Meredith, Delaware Co., NY. With them are their three children, George 18, Adaline 16, & Adelia 13. Also in the household is Lois Remington, age 74 CT, presumably William's mother.

William — Caroline Unknown. Caroline was born Abt 1814, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1870. [Group Sheet]

Nancy married Linus Brownson 1 Jul 1841, Delaware County, NY. Linus (son of Elisha Brownson and Mary Hill) was born 3 May 1820, Meredith, Delaware Co., NY; died 27 Sep 1900, Turner, Marion Co., OR. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Lucinda's & Harvey's marriage record has been transcribed on the Delaware Co., NY, web site. It says they were both of West Meredith, and were married by Rev. E. Westcott. When I found this record, I was sure Lucinda was a granddaughter of Uriah Remington, but not sure who among Uriah's sons was her father, although Samuel was the most likely possibility due to my observations in death and census records. However, this was confirmed when I found one family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect, belonging to Bobbe Long.

Lucinda married Harvey Edmond Bell 16 Sep 1840, Delaware County, NY. Harvey (son of Edmond Bell and Sarah Brown) was born 20 Jan 1821, West Meredith, Delaware Co., NY; died 11 Dec 1892. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Nelson's occupation was a miller, so he most likely took over his father's business, the flour mill.

Both Nelson and his son Harvey served in the Civil War.

In the Federal Census of 1850, Nelson 26, Mary H. 30, & Harvey B. Remington 1, are living at Colesville, Broome Co., NY. They are next to a family named Wykoff.

In 1860 the family is at Franklin, Delaware Co., NY. Nelson & Mary are ages 38 & 40. They have two children, Harvey B. 11 & Julia E. 8 (all b NY). Also in the same town are Seba Remington (presumably Nelson's brother) and his wife Julia.

In the 1870 Federal Census, Nelson apparently has remarried to Lucretia, and they are living at Franklin; with them is son Harvey 21. Nelson is 49 and Lucretia is 32.

In the 1880 Federal Census, Nelson Remington is age 58 NY, living with son Harvey & family at Hamden, Delaware Co., NY. Census data shows his parents as being born in Eng. & CT, but perhaps he said his father was born somewhere in "New England."

Nelson married Mary H. Spoor 11 Sep 1845, West Meredith, Delaware Co., NY. Mary was born Abt Feb 1820, NY; died 8 Aug 1860, Croton, Delaware Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Nelson married Lucretia B. Stewart 1861. Lucretia (daughter of William Stewart and Harriet Brownson) was born 21 Jan 1837, Delaware County, NY; died 21 Sep 1877. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Martin Remington is age 26 NY, living with Harry & Lucinda Bell at Meredith, Delaware Co., NY. Presumably Lucinda is Martin's older sister.

In 1860, he appears to be the Martin Remington, age 34 and a farmer, living at Tompkins, Delaware Co., NY, with Joseph & Delia Rogers, both age 32. I have made an assumption that Delia Rogers is Martin's sister.

In the 1870 Federal Census, Martin Remington is age 45, living at Tompkins, NY, with his wife Phoebe, 23, and son Eldridge, 2.

In 1880 the family is living at Deposit, Delaware Co., NY: Martin 55, Phebe 33, Hattie 8, & Everett 4.

Martin — Phoebe Unknown. Phoebe was born Abt 1847, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Delia — Joseph Rogers. Joseph was born Abt 1828, NY. [Group Sheet]

Emeline married Levi Cook 3 May 1836, Franklin, Delaware Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

George may have been handicapped or retarded in some way. He is single and living in Franklin, Delaware Co., NY, in the 1860 and 1870 censuses. Later he is listed among the residents of the Utica Asylum (1877) and Willard Asylum (1878 - 1885), as George (R. or B.) Remington of Franklin, NY. I have wondered if he might belong in Samuel's family, based on census data and family names; but he is placed in this family group in Lois Remington Smith's genealogy, so I am placing him here likewise.

Notes:

In the 1860 Federal Census, Orren and his wife and son are living at Fitchville, Huron Co., OH.

Orren — Avrioma Unknown. Avrioma was born Abt 1827, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1860. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In 1860 & 1870, Wilson & Betsey are living at Franklin, Delaware Co., NY. They have two sons, Berkeley & Tracy. In 1860 they are living with Daniel Remington, Wilson's father. In both 1860 & 1870, Sally Rich, ages 60/74 b CT, is living with them. Also in 1870, Julia Remington 55 NY, is either with them or next door, along with two members of the Zabrisky family, Mary 30 & Lizzie 7. Julia appears to be the widow of Seba Remington; Seba is Wilson's first cousin -- if this family tree data is correct.

In 1880 the family is still at Franklin, NY: Wilson 55, Betsy 47, Birkly R. 20, & Tracy E. 18. Also in the household is Sally Rich, 82, aunt.

Wilson married Betsey Hine 8 Nov 1854. Betsey (daughter of Riley Hine) was born 7 Jul 1832, Meredith, Delaware Co., NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1900. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Is this his marriage?

Mary TILLINGHAST +Cyrus LYMAN d: in Norwalk, Huron, Ohio m: February 11, 1824
dtr. Mary Elizabeth LYMAN b: in Norwalk, Huron, Ohio +Milton REMINGTON

Probably not -- because in the 1850 census there is a Milton Remington, age 33 NY, living at Norwalk, OH.

In the same census there is a Milton Remington, 26 NY, married to Susan and living at Venice, Cayuga Co., NY. They have an infant son Abner. Perhaps this family group belongs to Daniel & Nancy.

Notes:

I have made an assumption that the Miss Remington who married Rev. L. W. Jackson, is Maria. Her age and place of residence at marriage match. In the censuses, her name is given as N. Maria Jackson. Perhaps her first name was Nancy, after her mother's name, but she was customarily called Maria.

Maria — L. W. Jackson. L. was born 1830, Franklin, Delaware Co., NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Ann married Ira M. Ogden 1851. Ira was born Abt 1832, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Sally — Alonzo Mallery. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Uriah Valentine is age 38, living at Delhi, Delaware Co., NY. His wife Eliza is 29, and they have three children: Silvia J. 5, Louisa A. 3, & Lewis H. 1; all born NY. Also in the household are James Valentine, 66, Uriah's father; Tabitha 32, Henry 21, & Hanston 14.

Uriah's middle name was probably Remington.

Uriah married Eliza Hess Abt 1842. Eliza was born 1820; died 1857. [Group Sheet]

Uriah married Margaret E. Drummond Between 1857 and 1858. Margaret (daughter of David Drummond and Margaret Shaw) was born 1838, West Delhi, NY; died 8 Dec 1909, Franklin, Delaware Co., NY; was buried 11 Dec 1909, West Delhi Cemetery, Sutherland Rd., West Delhi, NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

He probably was named after his grandmother's maiden name, Camfield or Canfield.

Canfield married Martha Neff 6 Oct 1839. Martha was born Abt 1813, Butternuts, Otsego Co., NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Marilda married Jonathan Dike Bef 1 Jun 1850. Jonathan was born Abt 1809, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

According to Boyd Scott Remington, Mahala lived in Huntington until 1858.

"History of Worcester Co., MA," p 98, gives her dob as 16 Feb 1812. (source: Google Books)

Mahala married Amos Hale Gorton 20 Aug 1830, Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT. Amos (son of Amos Gorton and Avis Warner) was born 6 Feb 1803, VT; died 9 Sep 1889, Essex, VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.)

In the 1850 Federal Census, Philemon and his family are living next door to Rhoda Remington and the Mix family, at Huntington, Chittenden, VT. Mrs. Joshua Mix is the former Sophronia Remington, Philemon's first cousin. In the census Philemon appears to be age 31 and his wife Adeline is 38. Three children are in the household: Mitchell, Annette, & Anaurilla (?).

In the 1860 census, the family is at Huntington: Philemon 46, Adeline 48, Mitchell 21, Annette 19, & Ann 17.

In 1870 Philemon & Adeline are still at Huntington, with their daughter "Ansarilla" (?).

I have placed Philemon in this family group because Pat Boyden's genealogy lists him as a son of Jeremiah & Mary (Ross) Remington (needs more research to confirm).

Philemon married Adaline Fitch Abt 1838, VT. Adaline (daughter of Fred Fitch and Nancy Unknown) was born 7 Sep 1812, VT; died 22 Sep 1885, Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT; was buried , Maplewood Cemetery, Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I have placed Joel in this family group based on a Remington genealgoy report from Pat Boyden.

Joel and his family are living at Waterbury, Washington Co., VT., in the 1850, 1860, 1870, & 1880 Federal Censuses.

In 1850 Joel & "Almira" are ages 31 & 32, and have a daughter Elvira, age 11. Also in the household are (presumed) in-laws Lyman & Sarah Hall, ages 67 & 65.

In 1860 Joel & Armina are 42 & 43, and have a son Homer E., age 7.

In 1870 Joel & Armina M. are 52 & 53, and it is noted that Armina is an invalid. Also in the household are Lyman & Sarah Hall, ages 86 & 82.

In 1880 Joel has remarried and has a wife named Rhoda. A stepdaughter, Minnie Rand, age 15, is with them.

One genealogy says he died 25 March 1891 at age 73.

Joel — Armina M. Hall. Armina (daughter of Lyman Hall and Sarah Unknown) was born Between 1817 and 1818, Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT; died 1872, Waterbury, Washington Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Joel married Rhoda Wilson Stowell 11 Dec 1872, Waterbury, Washington Co., VT. Rhoda (daughter of Duren Stowell and Asenath Baxter) was born 16 Dec 1829, VT; died 9 Jan 1903, Burlington, Rutland Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

A Remington genealgy from Valorie Sherman has Lucinda marrying Royal Firman in 1847. However, in the 1850 census she is Lucinda Remington, age 30, living with her parents and aged grandfather. Also in the household are Charles & Mary Firman. Perhaps Charles is Lucinda's husband but the census taker did not write her correct married name? In the same census, Royal Firman is age 29, the Town Clerk, living with the Carpenter family.

Notes:

The book "History of Worcester Co., MA" p 98 says Lurenda, a d/o Jeremiah & mMary, was born in 1835; but that would make her mother about 58 when Lurenda was born. She may have been born earlier (1825?), or may have been someone else's daughter (?).

Joshua married Almeda Ambler 12 Nov 1844, VT. Almeda was born 10 Jan 1823, VT; died 2 May 1902. [Group Sheet]

Lydia married Amos Rollins 1836, VT. Amos (son of Jonathan Rollins and Lucy Ring) was born 25 Aug 1806, Corinth, Orange Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

DAR files have her date of death as 12 June 1865.

Mandana married Rufus Davis 1 Dec 1833, Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT. Rufus (son of Luther Davis and Susanna Rounds) was born 25 Aug 1811, Monkton, Addison Co., VT; died 23 Jan 1895, Horicon, Warren Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Anne married Ransom Davis 14 Sep 1835, Hinesburgh, Chittenden Co., VT. Ransom (son of Luther Davis and Susanna Rounds) was born 22 Sep 1814, Hinesburgh, Chittenden Co., VT; died 23 May 1906, Bolton Landing, Warren Co., NY; was buried , New Vermont Road Cemetery, Bolton, Warren Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.)

In the 1860 Federal Census, Justus B. & Eliza A. Remington, ages 44 & 32, are living at Schroon, Essex Co., NY. They have two sons: Charley 4, and Justus B. 1 month. Also in the household are Joshua Remington, 70 (assumed to be father of Justus), Helen Davis 8 (probably a niece), and Orange Remington, 20. They are living next to brother Zeba (Ziba) Remington and family, and also Henry Remington and family.

In 1870 J. & Eliza A. Remington, ages 53 & 41, are still living at at Schroon, NY. They have two children: Clarissa 14, & Justice Jr., 10. I believe Clarissa should be Charles, their son. Also with them is Hellen Davis, 18. The family is living near Orange & Sarah Remington.

In 1880 Justus & Eliza are ages 63 & 61, and are still at Schroon, NY. Son Justus Jr., age 20, is still with them. They are next to Charley & Cora Remington and two dwellings away from Orange & Jane Remington and family.

I think Orange may be a son of Justus from a first marriage. (This has since been confirmed by Valorie Sherman.) In 1850, there is a Mary Remington, age 14 VT, and Orange Remington, age 10 NY, living with the Davis family at Bolton, Warren Co., NY. Justus's two sisters were living there, both having married a Davis.

Justus married Orinda Calpurnia Davis Abt 1836, VT. Orinda (daughter of Luther Davis and Susanna Rounds) was born 1818, Hinesburgh, Huntington Co., VT; died 26 Dec 1842, Bolton, Warren Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Justus married Eliza Ann Bentley Abt 1855. Eliza was born Nov 1828, VT; died 31 Dec 1923, Johnsburg, Warren Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

In the 1850 Federal Census, Hosea & Huldah are living in Danby, Rutland, VT, with their two children Caroline & Daniel. Also there is Hosea's (assumed) father, Joshua Remington, Jr.

In 1860 "Hosa & Hulda" Remington, ages 40 and 36, are living at Horicon, Warren Co., NY. With them are the following children: Caroline 17, Daniel 12, Cornelius 7, Flora 5, & Herbert 1. All were born in VT except Flora & Herbert were born in NY.

In the 1870 Federal Census, Hosea 50 and Ruth 33 (Rimington) are living at Hague, Warren Co., NY. With them is Stella, age 8.

In 1880, Hosea is age 60, living at Hague, Warren Co., NY. His wife is Mary, age 57, b NY (parents b NY/MA). Daughter Stella Remington is 18 and working in a hotel (parents b VT/VT). From this data I assume Mary is Hosea's third wife.

In the 1900 Federal Census, Hosea is a widower, age 81, living at Chestertown, Warren Co., NY, with his married daughter Stella and family.

According to Pat Boyden's Remington genealogy report, Hosea died 16 May 1911 at Horicon, Warren Co., NY.

Pat's genealogy has his second wife as Ruth.

Hosea married Hulda Croft Abt 1842, VT. Hulda was born 17 Sep 1823, VT; died 18 Jun 1867, Horicon, Warren Co., NY; was buried , North Brant Lake Cemetery, Brant Lake, Horicon, Warren Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Hosea married Ruth Unknown Bef 1 Jun 1870. Ruth was born Abt 1833, NY; died 21 Feb 1874, NY. [Group Sheet]

Hosea married Mary Unknown Bef 1 Jun 1880. Mary was born Abt 1823; died Between Jun 1880 and 1900. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the Federal Census of 1850, he appears to be the Henry Remington age 27 VT, a farmer, living at Danby, Rutland Co., VT; he is living with the Southworth family; they are listed near the household of Henry's father Joshua and other family members.

In the Federal Census of 1860, Henry & Fidelia F. Remington, ages 35 & 22, are living at Schroon, Essex Co., NY. They have two children. The family is next to Justus B. Remington and his family, and near Ziba Remington and family.

Henry — Fidelia F. Unknown. Fidelia was born Abt 1838, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Mary married Thomas Bentley 1847, NY. Thomas was born Abt Mar 1824, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1900. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1870 Federal Census, Milo & Mary are living at Bennington, Bennington Co., VT. They have six children in the household: Alonzo 20, Allma (Allina?) 19, Leonard 17, Frank 14, Katy 12, & Mary 9.

In 1880 the family is still at Bennington. Milo G. is 52, Mary M. is 51, and the children are as follows: Lura A. 29, Frank A. 25 (carriage painter), Katy L. 23 (school teacher), Mary L. 19, & Georgie 10; also boarding with them is George Rice, 23, a blacksmith.

In the 1896-97 directory of Bennington, VT, M. G. Remington is listed as a manufacturer of Remington's peddlars' carts, wagons, sleighs, carriage painting and general jobbing, home at 114 Jefferson Ave.

Milo married Mary M. Colvin 17 Aug 1848, Danby, VT. Mary (daughter of Anthony Colvin and Lurance Scott) was born 12 Nov 1829, Danby, VT; died 28 Oct 1907, Bennington, VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.)

Ziba was brought up in Vermont, but as a teenager or young adult went to New York State for employment, finally settling in Horicon, Warren County, where he engaged in farming and lumbering businesses. (info source: "New England Families" Vol. I, Genealogies and Memorials, p. 381)

If these dates are all correct for this family, Ziba would have been born when his mother was 53. While this is possible, it must be acknowledged that Ziba may have been born several years earlier, or even that he may have had another mother -- possibly a single mother in the family.

In the 1860 Federal Census, Ziba & Mary Remington,ages 26 & 22, are living at Schroon, Essex Co., NY. They have a 1-year-old son, Worden.

In 1870, the family is at Horicon, Warren Co., NY. Ziba & Mary, ages 37 & 33, have four children: Worden, Sidney, Eddie, & Fred. Joshua Remington, his presumed father, is living with them at age 80.

In 1880, Ziba & Mary are still at Horicon and have five children: Worden, Edward, Frederick, Jennie, & Burdette.

In 1900, Ziba, aged 67, and his sister-in-law Eliza A. Remington, aged 71, both widowed, are living at Horicon, NY. They are next door to Ziba's son Burdett (Burr) and family.

In the 1910 Federal Census, Ziba Remington is age 76, still living at Horicon, NY. With him is his widowed sister-in-law, Eliza A. (Bentley) Remington, age 81, and nephew Jetta (Justus Jr.?) Remington, 49.

Ziba married Mary Ross 27 Aug 1857, Bolton, NY. Mary (daughter of Myron Ross and Nora Unknown) was born 27 Apr 1837, Bolton, NY; died 1 Jul 1899, Horicon, Warren Co., NY; was buried , Brant Lake Cemetery, Warren Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Campbell is age 36 and Polly is age 42. They are living at Huntington, Chittenden, VT, with children Stephen, Emerson, Francis, Jane, & Lodeemy. In 1870 Campbell & Polly are at Calais, Washington Co., VT. A child, Willie E. Remington, age 9, is with them. Is he a son or grandson?

In 1870 they are next door to Oscar & Jane White. I am making an assumption that Jane is the former Jane Remington, daughter of Campbell & Polly (the age fits her year of birth).

Pat Boyden's genealogy has Campbell's date of birth as 3 Aug 1813. I have not verified which year is correct.

Campbell married Polly Rollins 9 Sep 1832, VT. Polly (daughter of Jonathan Rollins and Lucy Ring) was born 23 Sep 1808, Corinth, Orange Co., VT; died 16 Mar 1884, Calais, Washington Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Please note that I am not postive that Melissa belongs in this family group. However, based on 1830 census data and location of her marriage and burial (Huntington, VT) -- as per "bmbloeb" (Bronwen Loeb) on the Remington Message Board at ancestry.com -- it is a reasonable assumption that she belongs in this family. Alternatively, she could be a daughter of Jeremiah.

Melissa married Heman Dike 1834. Heman was born Abt 1811, VT; died 1877. [Group Sheet]

Sophronia married Joshua Johnson Mix 8 Sep 1841, Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT. Joshua was born 1817, Danby, Rutland, VT; died 14 Jul 1902, VT. [Group Sheet]

In the 1850 Federal Census, Orange & Lucy Remington, ages 25 & 24, are living at Jericho, Chittenden Co., VT, with John & Nancy Thompson, Lucy's parents. Also there is Orange's nephew, Stephen Remington, age 15; I am assuming he is Campbell's son.

In the 1860 Federal Census, Orange 36 & Lucy 36 are living at Morristown, Lamoille Co., VT. In the household are their young daughter Mary 4, and their two mothers, Rhoda Remington & Nancy Thompson, both aged 71; also Lorenzo Dike, 25, who I believe is Orange's nephew, son of Melissa (Remington) Dike/Dyke.

From the date and location, I presume that Orange died in the Civil War.

Orange married Lucy Hall Thompson 21 Mar 1850, Jericho, Chittenden Co., `VT. Lucy (daughter of John Thompson and Nancy Ware) was born 5 Jan 1826, Jericho, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I am making an assumption that she died at Ashford, where she was living in 1880.

Patty married Thomas Stevens 20 Aug 1838. Thomas was born 17 Aug 1810, MA; died 2 Dec 1882, Ashford, Cattaraugus County, NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Copeland & Sarah Remington are ages 25 & 26, living at Ashford, Cattaraugus Co., NY. They have three children. Near them are parents Joseph & Amanda Remington and family, including Samuel Canfield, 22.

In 1860 they are still at Ashford: Copeland 35, Sally 35, Martha A. 13, James S. 12, Mercy M. 10, Enos S. 8, Joseph A. 6, Charles C. 6 months; and William Black 34 VA, farmer laborer.

In 1870 the family is still at Ashford; Copeland's wife is now Mary E., age 32; three of the children are still with them: Enos S. 18, Joseph A. 16, and Elmer E. 8.

In 1880 C. & Mary E. Remington are at Carlston, Freeborn Co., MN. Two other individuals are with them including Eliza Stone, 56, an aunt.

Copeland married Sarah "Sally" Canfield 23 Oct 1845, Colden, Erie Co., NY. Sarah (daughter of Asher Canfield and Rhoby Whipple) was born 24 Jul 1823, Cooperstown, Otsego Co., NY; died 30 Sep 1865, East Ashford, Cattaraugus Co., NY; was buried , Maple Grove Cemetery, Machias, NY. [Group Sheet]

Copeland married Mary E. Unknown Aft Sep 1865. Mary was born Abt 1838, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

This family group is in the 1860 and 1880 Federal Census at Ashford, Cattaraugus Co., NY. Bela was Justice of the Peace at Ashford in 1868.

In 1860 and 1870, there is a son Arthur living with Bela & Silphina, but in 1880 he is married; with Arthur at that time are Joseph & Loraette Remington, listed as his parents. So, I am assuming Arthur is Bela's nephew, a son of Joseph and a possible first wife.

From census data, it appears that his brother Joseph and sister Patty are also residing at Ashford.

In the Federal Census of June 1900, Bela & "Claphine" are still living at Ashford. Daughter Clare, age 26, is with them.

Bela married Silphina H. Bowen Abt 1854, NY. Silphina was born Aug 1827, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1900, NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

One webpage has Melinda's dob as 18 Dec 1829 (Descendants of John Sackett).

Melinda married Andress B. Canfield Jun 1850. Andress was born 17 Feb 1826, NY; died 21 Jan 1905, Ashford, Cattaraugus Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Eunice and her husband Richard were likely first cousins. I am not certain that Eunice is a child of Joseph & Amanda (Sackett) Remington. However, her maiden name is Remington, and she is buried in the same cemetery as Joseph & Amanda and other family members. Based on her naming of a daughter Lydia Amanda, I feel she does belong as a daughter of Joseph & Amanda, sho also had a daughter named Lydia A. Eunice's mother-in-law is Melinda Sackett, sister of her (assumed) mother.

One webpage has Eunice's birthdate as 20 Apr 1831 (Descendants of John Sackett).

Eunice married Richard C. Williams Bef 1 Jun 1850, NY. Richard (son of Albert Williams and Malinda Sackett) was born 6 Jun 1826, Yorkshire, NY; died 7 Feb 1910, Ashford, Cattaraugus Co., NY; was buried , Riceville Cemetery, Cattaraugus Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I am making an assumption that the Joseph and family in the 1860 and 1880 Federal Censuses at Ashford, NY is this individual and his family. Also in the same town are his brothers Copeland and Bela Remington and sister Patty Stevens. (There is the possibility that it may be another Joseph, since it is such a common name.)

In 1860 Joseph is 27, Laretta is 19, and their daughter Nellie is 4 months.

In 1880 they are living with married son Arthur and are identified as his parents; however, in the censuses of 1860 and 1870, Arthur is living with Bela & Silphina Remington and appears to be their son.

Joseph — Loraette Unknown. Loraette was born Abt 1841, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 census she is Persis Remington, 15; in the 1860 census she is Persis W. Williams, 24. According to a posting on the Rootsweb Remington message board (22 Aug 2008), her middle name is Uretta. In the 1870 census, her name appears as Persis U. or V. Williams; in 1880 and 1900 she is listed as Perseus U. The 1880 census data says both of her parents were born in RI, but I don't think that is correct.

Persis married Riley Williams Between 1855 and 1857, NY. Riley was born Abt Feb 1830, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1900. [Group Sheet]

Alsina — William Davidson Smith. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

According to the 1850 census, Eunice was blind.

In 1850, Loyal is age 19, a laborer living in Starksborough, Addison Co., VT. He is also listed again in the same town with his parents and siblings as age 18 (my assumption that this is the same individual). In 1860 he is married to Sarah, and they are living in Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT. In 1870 they are at Williston, Chittenden Co., VT; their children Orvis 9, & Martha 8, are in the home. In 1880 they are living in Westford, Chittenden Co., VT. Their children are Orvis 19, Martha 11, & Fred 4.

In the 1900 Federal Census, Loyal Remington is age 69 and widowed, living at Essex, Chittenden Co., VT, with his son Orvis and family. In 1910 he is still there, age 81.

Loyal was in the Civil War, enlisting at Essex, VT, as a Private in the Vermont 2nd Infantry, 1861 - 1862.

Loyal married Sarah A. Nichols 10 Feb 1859, Essex, Chittenden Co., VT. Sarah was born Between 1834 and 1835, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

In the 1850 Federal Census, Solomon appears to be the individual of that name living at Oswego, Oswego Co., NY. His age is given as 39, which is correct for him. The head of household is Isaac Remington, age 62; both are born VT. Also in the home are the following (not listed in this order): Mary 38, Huldah 27, Joseph 20, Wealthy 11, Truman 8, Irving 3, & Eveline 1.

In the 1860 Federal Census, Solomon Remington and family are living at Clay, Jones Co., IA. His second wife, Fanny, is age 30; four of his children and one of hers by her previous marriage are in the household.

In 1870 Solom Remington, 60, and his wife Fannie, 40, are living at Webster, Webster Co., IA.

In 1880 Solomon & Fannie A. are 69 & 49, still at Webster. Son Erving O., age 31, is with them.

Solomon married Mary Margaret Ostrander 4 Oct 1836. Mary (daughter of Henry G. Ostrander and Hannah Eliza Unknown) was born 2 Aug 1817, NY; died 29 Jul 1854. [Group Sheet]

Solomon married Fanny A. Mandigo 28 May 1855, Bowers Prairie, Jones Co., IA. Fanny was born 1830, Brownsville, Jefferson Co., NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1870. [Group Sheet]

Sarah married Oliver Morgan Abt 1838. Oliver was born Abt 1807, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1870. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Huldah is age 27, living at Oswego, NY, with other family members. I have made an assumption that she is Isaac's daughter, as he is the head of household.

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.)

His name may have been Isaac Nathan.

I have made an assumption that Nathan belongs in this family group, because in the 1850 Federal Census he and Rhoda are living a few doors down from Isaac, Solomon, and other siblings at Oswego, Oswego Co., NY. Nathan is age 27 and Rhoda is 20. They are cousins.

In the 1860 Federal Census, Nathan & Rhoda Remington are living at Diana, Lewis Co., NY. He is 35 VT and she is 26 VT. They have a daughter Emma, age 6 (see note below). They are near Nathan's cousin Amos Remington and family.

In the 1870 Federal Census, Nathan & Rhoda are 47 VT & 39 VT, living at Webster, Hamilton Co., IA. In the household are two young people -- Emma Waldworth, 16, & Jonathan Bowhall, 10. Jonathan is Rhoda's orphaned nephew. Could this be the same Emma that is with them in 1860 (the age is right)? If so, she may be adopted or a foster child.

In 1880, I. N. & Rhody Remington are ages 50 & 45, still living in Webster City, Hamilton Co., IA.

Nathan married Rhoda Remington Bef 1 Jun 1850. Rhoda (daughter of Jonathan Remington and Unknown Wife) was born 1831, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Joseph is age 20, living with his father and brother's family at Oswego, NY.

He is probably the Joseph Remington, age 46 VT, married to Phoebe age 31 NY, and living at Forestville, Door Co., WI. They have a daughter Amy, age 1 WI.

In the 1880 Federal Census, he is probably the Joseph Remington, age 49, living at Jamestown, Stutsman Co., Dakota Territory. The census data says his father was born VT and his mother MA, which would also be correct for this Joseph. It says he himself was born VT. He is married to Phoebe, age 43 NY, and has three children: Emma 11, Georgie 6 (has the measles), & Izara 1; children b WI.

Joseph is still there, age 69, in the 1900 Federal Census (now it is North Dakota). His date of birth as given as Oct 1829, which is correct). However, it says his mother was born in England. His wife Phebe is age 60, but now it says she was born in Canada. It also says she has had 12 children, 3 of whom are still living. They have been married 40 years. Daughter Amy (Emma?) is with them, with two of her daughters, born in MI. The family is living on First Avenue North.

Joseph's date and place of death were found on a family tree at Ancestry.com. I have not verified them. He is in the 1900 census, so he died after that.

Joseph married Phebe Greeney Abt 1860. Phebe was born May 1840; died 1910. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the Federal Census of 1840, Rufus Remmington Jr. is living at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Rufus & Pruda are living at Wallingford, Rutland, VT, with their four children. They are near Rufus Sr., Amos, & John J. B. Remington and their families.

Rufus married Pruda Unknown Abt 1839. Pruda was born Abt 1825, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1850. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Amos & Phebe E. Remington are living at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT, with their two daughters Phebe E. 3 & Rebecca 4 months.

In 1860, 1870, and 1880 the family is at Diana, Lewis Co., NY. In 1870 and 1880 they are next to John & Susanna; John is Amos's presumed uncle. This needs more research ro confirm.

In the Federal Census of 1910, Amos Remington, aged 93 wd, is living at Diana, Lewis Co., NY, with Charles & Julia (Judah) R. Cole and their adopted son.

His middle initial is not given in any of the censuses, but is in the gravestone transcription.

The intersection of NY Rts. 3 & 812 in Diana, Lewis Co., NY, is called "Remington Corners."

Amos married Phebe E. Cole 14 Mar 1847, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. Phebe was born Abt 1826, VT; died 1907; was buried , Harrisville Cemetery, Diana, Lewis Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Pat Boyden's Remington genealogy says David died in 1829 and his gravesite is in the Hill-Roberts Cemetery, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. This needs more research.

According to notes from Norman Charles Hill, David died from burns suffered in a fatal fire.

Notes:

According to a genealogy at Rootsweb's Worldconnect, this is John Julius Remington, b.30 Nov 1822 at Wallingford, VT. This differs slightly from his age of 25 in the 1850 census, which suggests he was born c1825. However, he is listed a second time in the 1850 census, and that time his age is 28.

In the 1850 Federal Census, John J. B. Remington and his wife Laura are living at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT, with their son Passo, 7 months old. Also in the household is John's sister, Sylvia, age 18. They are living nearby other family members, such as Rufus, Amos, and their parents Rufus, Sr., & Rebecca.

In 1850, John & Laura Remington are listed a second time in Wallingford: John age 28, Laura age 28, and John 6 months. On this census page they are living near two Edgerton families, probably relatives of Laura. Nearby are Rufus & Rebecca, and Amos and family.

In 1860 they are still at Wallingford. John J. & Laura E. Remington are ages 36 & 38, and have two sons: Julius K, 10, and Oscar E., 4. They are next to Rufus & Rebecca Remington, ages 65 & 63.

John & Laura are at Wallingford in 1870 with their two sons.

In 1880 John B. & Laura Remington are both age 58, still living at Wallingford, VT. In the household is John's mother, Rebecca, age 84, and a daughter-in-law, Ellen Remington, 20 (Oscar's widow).

In 1900 Julius J. Remington is age 74 and still living at Wallingford, VT. He is a widower, and a stone mason.

John married Laura E. Edgerton 20 Mar 1850, Union Church, South Wallingford, VT. Laura (daughter of Jonathan Edgerton and Phoebe Sayles) was born 17 May 1821, Lincoln, VT; died 14 Oct 1895. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher, and to other sources as ntoed herein.)

During the Civil War, Edmond was a Sergeant in Company B 27th Regiment, Michigan (infantry), serving under Col. Wait in Capt. Nelson Truckey's Company. When he enlisted as a volunteer in 1862, Edmond was age 38 and a farmer; it was for a three-year enlistment. After being wounded on 3 June 1864 and discharged at VA on 3 March 1865, Edmond returned home to MI and later went to SD with his second wife, Hannah. On 30 Oct 1875, Edmond made a signed and sworn statement concerning his military service, in connection with his pension application. An accompanying form says he lives about 4 miles northwest from Elk Point, Union Co., SD.

When Edmond died in 1882, he was drawing a military pension of $8 per month.

In a deposition which was part of the pension process for Edmond's widow, Hannah, Oliver D. Bishop stated that he became acquainted with Edmond & Jemima at the village of C___ City of Marquette, MI. In the summer of 1859 Edmond & Jemimah moved to the township of Chocolay. In the fall of 1860 Jemima M. Remington became sick and continued to become more feeble. She died 29 Mar 1861; Oliver was at her funeral and burial. Less than four months later, Edmond married his second wife, Hannah Welch, at Oliver Bishop's home. (statement signed by Oliver D. Bishop and dated 13 or 14 Aug 1894 Minneapolis, MN)

In another deposition, dated 4 Feb 1897, Warren Fisk, farmer of Elk Point, Union Co,m SD, stated that he knew Edmond (Edward) Remington well. "When we came out here we both located on the prairie about a mile apart and were just as intimate as neighbors could be. He bought meat in my shop the night before he killed himself with strychnine, in the summer of 1883. When he died he had about 110 acres of land, 1/4 mile from the Wisconsin ]Missouri ?] River, just south of this town [Elk Point]. The widow Hannah never has derived an income from the land . . . she went to Oklahoma to live and now her son Thomas works the place but pays her nothing. About 30 acres is under cultivation. She is a good, honest, industrious woman."

The notes in the following two paragraphs are from a descendant, Shirley Herbert: "His military records state he was born in Wallingford . . . , but with no reference to his mother or father . . . He married Jemima and was one of the first settlers in Marquette . . . Edward's wife died and he and his son-in-law, Jerome, enlisted in the 27th Michigan. They saw many battles and they were both injured. Upon returning home, Edward married again, a Hannah Welsh; had more children, and moved his family to Elk Point, SD . . . where he died [in 1882] . . .

"Edmund enlisted on August 15, 1862. He signed the volunteer enlistment papers as Edmond R. Remington. The Certificate of Disability for Discharge states: '. . . and find him incapable of performing duties of a soldier because of gunshot wound of left leg by minnie ball received June 3rd, 1864 at Battle of Bethesda Church. Injured thru tibia and fractured fibula causing lameness to a degree that incapacitates him for service in the field or Veteran Reserve Corps. Disability 3/4." s/ Wm Ingalls, Surgeon.' Edmond was discharged the 3rd of March, 1865 at camp [in VA]. He and his son-in-law, had been in a military hospital for almost a year."

Research notes from Norman Charles Hill state that Edward R. Remington, s/o Rufus & Rebecca, married Margaret and was in Cherry Creek, MI, in 1862. (My note -- perhaps Jemima's middle name was Margaret?)

Note from Shirley Herbert: Cherry Creek is in Marquette Township, just outside the City of Marquette. Edmond's son-in-law, Jerome N. White, had a house there, so maybe Edmond did too.

My notes:

Edmond's military papers describe him as 5'9" (or 5'6"), weighing about 150 - 156 lbs., having blue eyes and dark hair, and either dark or fair complected (depending on the particular year; two say dark and one says fair).

I am not absolutely sure that Edmond belongs in this family group. However, a descendant, Mary Currie, has posted data at Rootsweb showing that he may belong here. This is reasonably supported by his place of birth, estimated year of birth, birthplaces of parents, and naming a son Julius, as shown in census data noted below. The 1820 Federal Census lists Rufus Remington at Wallingford, VT; also there are Jonathan, Joseph, Jesse, & John Remington.

In the 1850 Federal Census, "Edward" & Jemima are living at Marquette, Marquette Co., MI. Their daughter "Adalade" is age 5. Also in the household are Abner & Milton Mitchell, ages 24 & 22 WI, laborers.

In 1860 he is Edmund R. Remington, age 35 VT, living with his family at Chocolay, Marquette Co., MI. Jemima M. is 39 VT, and the children are as follows: Adelaide L. 14 VT, Albert 3 MI, & Julius 1 MI.

Historical documents in the Marquette County Historical Society list the names of the individuals who organized the new township of Chocolay on 10 Feb 1860. E. R. Remington is one of the founders. He is also listed as Moderator and Highway Commissioner.

In 1870 he is Edmond Remington, age 45 VT, still living at Chocolay, MI. He has a wife named Hannah, age 34, b Ireland. They have four children in the home: Albert 14, Julius 11, Thomas 8, & Grace 4. I am not sure whether the two youngest children belong to the first wife or the second; however, see note below on Thomas, which suggests that Thomas & Grace may belong to Hannah.

In the 1880 Federal Census, he appears to be the Edward R. Remington, age 55, mining for gold, living at Upper Sand Creek Gulch, Laramie, WY. It says his parents were born VT/RI. His son Thomas, age 17, is with him; the census says Thomas's mother was born in Scotland. Undoubtedly this is the same family as the above.

Also in 1880, Edmond's wife Hannah and daughter Grace are living in Civil Bend, Union, Dakota Territory. Edmund's name is listed on the last census sheet for the town.

Publication: The Washington Times; Publication Date: 08-NOV-03; Article Excerpt
Byline: Paul Herbert, SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES

"As one enters Marquette, Mich., along U.S. Route 41, there is a monument with the following inscription to the Civil War veterans from Michigan's Upper Peninsula: 'Ever in the realms of glory, Shall shine your starry all...fame; Angels have heard your story, God knows your names.'

"The angels may know the stories of all the Marquette veterans of the 27th Michigan, or Lake Superior Regiment, but I only know about two of them, who were my ancestors. Jerome White was a 21-year-old farmer when he signed up with his 38-year-old father-in-law, Edmond Remington, in August 1862. Jerome was born in Peru in Clinton County, N.Y., and Ed was born in Wallingford, Vt.

"The news of the attack on Fort Sumter, which had started the Civil War 18 months earlier, reached Jerome, Ed and the other residents of Marquette 'by the overland mail, the dog mail that came up from Green Bay, but the first authentic news was brought a little later when the first boats came in,' a history of the period records.

" 'Five steamers arrived in Marquette together. Then there was excitement. Business was practically suspended. Banks did nothing, storekeepers did nothing. Everybody talked of war and was anxious to have it prosecuted to the most vigorous extent. Political parties made no difference. Everybody was filled with patriotism.'

"It took two years and more than 1,000 miles for Jerome White and Edmond Remington to go from the wilderness of Michigan's Upper Peninsula to the Wilderness battlefield of Virginia..."

In the 1850 Federal Census, Sylvia Remington is age 18 and living with her older brother John and his wife Laura and their son Passo, age 7 months. They are at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT, near their parents Rufus & Rebecca, as well as other family members.

In 1860 she is Sylvia A. Brockway, age 28 NY, living at Weston, Windsor Co., VT. She is a housekeeper in the home of William Foster. she has two daughters: Rebecca J. 3, & Laura E. 1. Also in the household is Martin Rose, 18, a farm laborer.

In the 1880 Federal Census, Sylvia A. Sprague, age 49, is a sister-in-law living with Ezekiel & Philena Hill at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT.

See note for Noah Solon Crowley.

The following is from a posting on the Remington message board at genealogy.com: "Sylvia Remington, daughter of Rufus Remington and Rebecca, lived in Tinmouth, VT. She married Jerry Doty, then Lorenzo Brockway, then Noah Solon Crowley. She is listed as mother to Leulla Brockway who married a Harvey." (by Fritzi Hardy)

Philena married Ezekiel Hill Abt 1850. Ezekiel (son of William Hill and Amy Ross) was born 15 Mar 1825, VT; died 1 Nov 1898; was buried , New Mechanicsville Cemetery, Mt. Holly, Rutland Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Notes sent to me by Norman Charles Hill place this Jonathan as a son of Rufus Remington. I also have wondered if Jonathan might be a son of Jonathan b 1801 or of John b 1794, both sons of Jonathan & Martha (Sprague) Remington, as was Rufus.

Information from Mary Lou Rafery placed this Jonathan as a son of John Remington b 1801 and Unknown Wife. Jonathan's birthplace is NY in two of the censuses, but VT in two others. Jonathan's presumed father, Rufus, was living in NY in 1830, but back in VT by 1840, where there is a Jonathan Remington living next to him. However, Jonathan's age in that census does not agree with his age here. (This family needs more research.)

He is probably the Jonathan Remington, age 20 VT, in the 1850 census at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. He is a carpenter, and is listed twice in the census; all were born in VT. Nearby are Octavia Remington 22 VT and Prudence Remington 18 VT (could they be daughters of Truman?). All three are living in different households. How are they related? Was Jonathan born in NY but returned to his parents' former hometown to be a carpenter's apprentice?

In the Federal Census of 1860, Jonathan & Sophia, ages 40 VT & 35 VT, are living at Wallingford, VT. He is a carpenter and joiner. Son Frank is 6 months.

In the Federal Census of 1870, Jno & S. E. Remington, ages 41 NY & 42 VT, are living at Diana, Lewis Co., NY. Son Frank is 10 NY. According to census data, Jonathan and Frank were born in NY.

In the 1880 Federal Census, Jonathan & Sophia Remington are ages 51 NY & 52 VT, living at Diana, Lewis Co., NY. Their son Frank, age 20, is with them.

Two of the censuses give Jonathan's birthplace as NY, two as VT.

Jonathan married Sophia E. Cook 16 Oct 1851, VT. Sophia was born Abt 1829, VT; died 1888, NY; was buried , Harrisville Cemetery, Diana, Lewis Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Rebecca married Gallusha Sprague 10 Jul 1858, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. Gallusha (son of Manassah Sprague and Laura Taft) was born Between 1823 and 1825, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the Federal Census of 1850, Lucius and Mary Remington, ages 27 & 19, are living at Diana, Lewis Co., NY. They have a daughter Philinda, 1. Also with them is Sedate Remington, 15, sister of Lucius. They are living near other Remington family members.

In the 1861 Census of Canada, Lucius Remington is age 34 VT, living at Harwich, Kent, Ontario. His name is written as Lucuss. With him are his wife Mary 30 NY, and the following children: Philinda 11 WC, Charles 6 WC, & Angeline 1 WC. Religion is Methodist.

In the 1871 Census of Canada, the Remington family is still at Harwich: Lusius 49 United States, Mary E. 33 United States, Charles 14 United States, John 6 Ontario, & Gertrude 4 Ontario. Religion is Episcopal Methodist.

In the 1881 Census of Canada, the family is still at Harwich: Lucius 59 Vermont, Mary 52 New York, Charles 26 New York, John 16 Ontario, & Malissa 14 Ontario. Their religion is still given as Methodist.

In the 1901 Census of Canada, Lucious & Mary E. Remington, ages 82 & 73, are at Ridgetown, Elgin, Ontario. This gives his dob as 27 Jan 1819; Mary's dob 15 May 1827.

Lucius married Mary E. Unknown Abt 1848. Mary was born 15 May 1827, NY; died Aft 31 Mar 1901. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Her name is sometimes spelled Rozzella, Rozila, or Rosella. The gravestone transcription spells it Rozila.

Notes:

He may be the Henry Remington in the 1850 and 1860 Federal Censuses at Champion, Jefferson Co., NY. In 1850 he is age 18 NY, a laborer, living with the family of Henry Gear. In 1860 probably the same Henry Remington is still living at Champion, age 31 NY, with a (presumed) wife named Sylvia C. age 22 NY. They are living with Silas & Sarah Ann Chapin, possibly parents of Sylvia. There were several Henry Remingtons in New York State, so it is uncertain which one this is at Champion.

In the Federal Census of 1870, H. and Mandana Remington, ages 38 NY and 42 NY, are living at Diana, Lewis Co., NY. They have two daughters, Eliza 2 and Clara 8 months.

In the Federal Census of 1880, Henry and Mendina (?) Remington are ages 47 NY and 52 NY. They are still living at Diana, NY. Eliza is 12 and Clara is 10. They are near Amos and family, who I believe to be his cousin.

In the Federal Census of 1900, Henry and his wife M (?) are still at Diana, NY. Lizzie is with them, age 32.

In the Federal Census of 1910, Henry & Mandana are both 81, still living at Diana, NY. According to census data, they have been married 42 years; Mandana has had three children of whom one is still living.

Henry's gravestone says he was born in 1829, but the 1900 census gives his date of birth as Feb 1831.

According to Mary Lou Raftery, Henry had a first marriage to Dolly Austin b 10 May 1834 NY; and a third marriage was to Cordelia Tyler, on 19 May 1911.

Henry married Mandana Blanchard 17 Mar 1867. Mandana was born Abt Jun 1828, NY; died 4 Jun 1910, NY; was buried , Harrisville Cemetery, Diana, Lewis Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Henry married Cordelia Tyler 9 May 1911, Antwerp, Jefferson Co., NY. Cordelia was born Abt 1843, Diana, Lewis Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In 1850, Gilbert is a shoemaker, as is his father.

In the 1870 Federal Census, Gilbert is age 47 and living at Farmington, La Crosse Co., Wi. He is with his sister Fidelia Forth and her children. Gilbert's occupation in 1870 is "peddling apple trees."

In 1880 Gilbert is married to "Electy" and still living at Farmington. They have three children. Gilbert is a farmer. They are living near Gilbert's sister Fidelia, now married to John A. Young.

More can be found on this family in: History of La Crosse County, Wisconsin By Consul Willshire Butterfield, Western Historical Company; p. 850 (available on Google Books).

From Theresa Congdon's posting on the Congdon Message Board at genealogy.com:
". . . there is a copy of the registration of marriage for Gilbert Congdon and (Electa) Jane Alexander. The marriage took place in Arcadia, Trempealeau County, Wisconsin. Gilbert Congdon's father was John Congdon and his mother was Phoeby (sic) Congdon . . . The marriage took place on July 23, 1873. The registration of marriage is in Volume 1 of Marriages on page 22 according to the Register of Deeds for Trempealeau County, Wisconsin.

"Electa Jane Alexander Congdon was Gilbert Congdon's second wife according to the pension papers. His first wife's maiden name was: Maggie Haight. Gilbert Congdon died on December 18, 1891. After the Civil War he resided in Canada and Steventown, LaCrosse County, Wisconsin. He had applied for a pension previously. Upon his death, his wife E. Jane Congdon was applying for increased pension benefits.

"Gilbert Congdon served in the War of the Rebellion in Company "B", 2nd Wisconsin Calvary, volunteers."

Gilbert married Electa Jane Alexander 23 Jul 1873, Arcadia, Trempealeau County, W. Electa was born Jul 1841, OH; died Aft 18 Dec 1891. [Group Sheet]

Adeline — A. M. Hill. [Group Sheet]

Esther married Emory Moss Stanford 26 Aug 1853, Lewis Valley, La Crosse Co., WI. Emory was born 21 Jan 1832, Atwater, Portage Co., OH; died 12 Jan 1913, La Crosse Co., WI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1870 and 1880 Federal Censuses, Fidelia is living at Farmington, La Crosse Co., WI. In 1870 she is Fidelia Forth, with four children ages 3 to 11; in 1880 she is Lucy F. Young, married to John Young.

Lucy married Mr. Forth Bef 1860. [Group Sheet]

Lucy married John Adam Young Bef 1 Jun 1880. John was born 1824, Saxony, Germany. [Group Sheet]

Emily married Albert L. Fuller Between 19 Apr and 21 May 1853, La Crosse Co., WI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Information on Elizabeth/Betsey as a daughter of Jonathan came ot me from Mary Lou Raftery. A possibility remains that Elizabeth (Betsey) is daughter of Reuben & Elizabeth Remington, however, as she and her husband are living next to/with them in the 1850 census (see notes for her husband). This needs more research.

Elizabeth married Samuel Porter Graves 11 Sep 1842, Diana, Lewis Co., NY. Samuel was born Abt 1823, Mount Holly, Rutland Co., VT; died 1903. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I have made an assumption that he is be the Henry Remington in the 1850 and 1860 Federal Censuses at Champion, Jefferson Co., NY. In 1850 he is age 18 NY, a laborer, living with the family of Henry Gear. In 1860 probably the same Henry Remington is still living at Champion, age 31 NY, with a wife named Sylvia C. age 22 NY. They are living with Silas & Sarah Ann Chapin, parents of Sylvia.

There were several Henry Remingtons in New York State, so it is uncertain which one this is at Champion. However, notes on Jonathan A. Bowhall refer to an uncle Henry Remington of Denmark; this above-mentioned couple were married in Copenhagen.

Henry married Sylvia C. Chapin 17 Jan 1860, Champion, Jefferson Co., NY. Sylvia (daughter of Silas H. Chapin and Fanny Orvis) was born Abt 1838. [Group Sheet]

Rhoda married Nathan Remington Bef 1 Jun 1850. Nathan (son of Isaac Remington and Huldah Doty) was born Abt 1825, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

By 1880 it appears that Abner has died because the 1880 Federal Census lists Celesta Smith 43 NY and son Charles 13 NY living with married daughter Belinda Collar 24 NY (wife of George) in Diana, Lewis Co., NY. Johnathan Remington 78 VT is also with them, so this is a three-generation household.

Phebe married Abner Smith Abt 1853. Abner was born Between 1823 and 1831, NY; died Between 1870 and 1880. [Group Sheet]

Almira married Silas Bowhall Abt 1859. Silas was born 1833, Jefferson Co., NY; died 30 Sep 1864, Diana, Lewis Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1870 Federal Census, his name is written as David or Daniel Remington (with a middle initial -- possibly H or G?). They are at Hackberry, Labette Co., KS. In 1870 they have two sons, Warren 4, and B. F. Butler 2. It is rather faint and difficult to read.

In the 1880 Federal Census, the family is still at Hackberry. The name is unclear -- Dennis? David? Daniel? They have three sons: Warren 14, Butler 12, and Blucher 12. Jane Cassford, "mother," age 70 Canada, is with them. It appears that Jane could be the mother of Prudence, because Jane was born in Canada, and the birthplace of Prudence's mother is given as Canada in the census data.

In both 1870 and 1880, Dennis's birthplace is given as VT. Prudence and all three boys were born in IL.

Prudence and Dennis may have been cousins.

Dennis H. Remington was listed as from Hampshire, IL, in the 8th Reg't Illinois during the Civil War.

The 1860 Federal Census has a Dennis Remington of the correct age living at Oberlin, Ohio, but he is married to Matilda and has two children, Ida 2 and Azael (?) 4. This Matilda appears to be a single mother living at a boarding house in 1870. There is also a Matilda Remington of the same age, a housewife, listed at a lunatic asylum in Ohio.

Dennis married Prudence Bell Abt 1865. Prudence (daughter of Henry Gale Bell and Charlotte DeWitt) was born Feb 1846, IL; died Nov 1900, Chetopa, Labette Co., KS. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Aaron and family are at Plainfield, Hampshire, MA.

He was named for his father, but in the family was known by his middle name, Newton. The family lived on a farm near the border of Plainfield where it adjoins Savoy. Aaron Newton was a deacon, and his gravestone is thus inscribed (for more information on this family, see "A Remington Family History" compiled by Lois Remington Smith).

Aaron died of stomach cancer.

Aaron married Julia Ann Williams 11 May 1842, Ashfield, MA. Julia was born 7 Apr 1822, MA; died 14 May 1903; was buried , Deming Cemetery, Savoy, Berkshire Co., MA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1860 Federal Census, Austin & Elizabeth are at Savoy, Berkshire Co., MA. Their two sons are there, as well as an orphaned cousin, David T. Remington. Austin's mother, Laura Remington, is next door.

In June 1858 Austin became a member of the Savoy Baptist Church; in 1859 he became a deacon and the church treasurer. In 1861 he became ill and asked to be relieved of his duties. Austin died two years later of consumption (see Lois Remington Smith's manuscript, "Moses Stanford, Minuteman" for more information on this family).

Austin & Elizabeth had an infant son who died 18 Mar 1855 ("A Remington Family History" by Lois Remington Smith, p. E-2).

Notes:

In the 1880 Federal Census, Orrin & Mattie are living in Brooklyn, Kings, NY, with sons Frederick & William, and mother-in-law Julia A. Allis.

In the 1900 census, Orrin and family are living on Prospect St. in Ridgewood, Bergen Co., NJ. Julia Allis, Martha's mother, age 81, is also with them.

In 1910 Orrin D. Remington is a boarder in Huntington, Hampshire Co., MA. His wife and children are still living at Ridgewood, Bergen Co., NJ.

In 1920 Orin D. Remington is age 85, married, living at Blandford, Hampden, MA. His family is not with him.

According to Lois Remington Smith in "The Remington Family" p. 39, Orrin enlisted in the Civil War at Dedham on 17 Sep 1861, and was discharged at Boston on 7 Nov 1864. The family moved from Brooklyn, NY, to Ridgewood, NJ, about 1890.

Orrin married Martha "Mattie" Octavia Allis 20 Jun 1867, Conway, MA. Martha (daughter of Thomas L. Allis and Julia A. Hollis) was born 8 Jan 1849, Conway, MA; died 5 Feb 1937, NJ. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

According to Lois Remington Smith in "The Remington Family" p. 41, Harry served in the Civil War and was imprisoned at Andersonville, from which he escaped 27 Sep 1864, possibly as some inmates were being moved. He arrived home c 1 Nov 1864.

Henry — Eliza Simpson. Eliza was born Abt 1840. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In 1870 he may be the H. W. Remington, age 44 MA, blacksmith, living at Austin, Lander Co., NV, with A. Remington, 41 MA, apparently his wife. However, they are living next door to the family of W. J. Remington, age 30, also a blacksmith, born in NY. These families need more research.

In the 1860 census there are G. Remington & H. Remington, both males born MA, living at Carson City, NV.

Henry married Philena R. Godfrey 1 Apr 1846, Amherst, MA. Philena (daughter of William B. Godfrey and Anne Unknown) was born Abt 1827. [Group Sheet]

Sylvia — Charles C. Brown. [Group Sheet]

Martha — Elery Cowing. [Group Sheet]

George — Diantha S. Arms. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I am not positive, but I think he is the A. J. Remington, age 35 b MA, living at Clark, WA, in the 1870 Federal Census; and also the Andrew J. Remington, age 46 b MA, living in Clark, WA, in the 1880 Federal Census. I cannot locate him in the 1860 census, so perhaps he was on the move. The names of his two children may be clues to his family of origin. In any case, I am including this marriage and the children here, pending further research to confirm.

According to Lois Remington Smith in "The Remington Family" p. D-2, Andrew's wife Ellen died at Vancouver, WA; so this seems to confirm the above information.

Andrew — Mary T. Eaton. [Group Sheet]

Andrew married Ellen Unknown Abt 1863. Ellen was born Between 6 Feb 1839 and 1843, New York, NY; died 29 Mar 1890, Vancouver, WA. [Group Sheet]

Lydia — Lyman Randall Black. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Is she the Ellen E. Sanderson age 56 widow living in Boston in 1900?

Or, possibly she is Ellen R. Sanderson age 58, widow, living at Whately, Franklin Co., MA. However, according to the census that woman has had no children (??).

Eliza married Sanford R. Sanderson 16 Sep 1857, Deerfield, MA. Sanford was born Abt 1834, Hatfield, MA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Emma "Addie" was married three times; to: Henry W. Leonard, Henry A. Cole, and a Mr. Cook. (see "A Remington Family History" by Lois Remington Smith, p. D-2a.)

Notes:

Franklin B. Remington's date of birth is recorded at Deerfield, but he was probably born at Savoy. He appears to be the Franklin Remington living with his family at Savoy in 1850 & 1860.

Franklin — Abbie Plummer. Abbie (daughter of Richard Plummer and Abigail Tibbets) was born 8 Nov 1845, Biddeford, ME; died 10 Jul 1907, Westborough, MA; was buried , Brookside Cemetery, South Deerfield, MA. [Group Sheet]

Albert married Ann Eliza Unknown Bef 1 Jun 1860. Ann was born Abt 1838, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

If indeed it is this Harriet who married Gates T. Embury (or Emery), her middle initials are E. C., according to the marriage record.

Gates is in NH without her in the 1860 census, so I have assumed she died.

Harriett married Gates T. Embury 11 May 1845, Haverhill, MA. Gates was born Abt 1822, NH; died Aft 1 Jun 1860. [Group Sheet]
