Seneca Remington, Sr.

Notes:

The 1800 Federal Census lists Josiah & Sinecer Rimmington at Cambridge, Washington Co., NY.

The 1810 Federal Census for Cambridge, Washington Co., NY, has three Remington families or heads of families: Jabez, Josiah, & Severa.

In the 1830 Federal Census, both Seneca and Seneca, Jr., are residing at Hinsdale, Berkshire County, MA. In 1850 Seneca & Mary are living at Compton, Kane Co., IL, with son (I assume) Philetus and his family. Also in the household are Huldah and Mary Remington, 45 and 47. These may be adult daughters of Seneca, and sisters of Philetus.

The family had ties to PA, because the two youngest daughters seem to have lived in PA for at least part of their marriages.

Seneca married Mary "Polly" Sargeant 26 Nov 1794, West Springfield, MA. Mary was born Abt 1772, MA; died Aft 1 Jun 1850. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1830 Federal Census, both Seneca and Seneca, Jr., are residing at Hinsdale, Berkshire County, MA. Sometime after this, the family must have moved to PA, where his son was born in 1843. He & Hannah are living with their son's family in Kansas in 1880.

Seneca — Hannah Bicknell. Hannah was born 2 Feb 1803, MA; died 29 Apr 1881, KS; was buried , Clay County, KS. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

This date of birth for Huldah agrees with census data. Huldah Remington is age 45 in the 1850 Census at Compton, Kane Co., IL; age 65 in 1870 at Clay Center, Clay Co., KS; and age 74 in 1880 at Five Creeks, Clay Co., KS. At all three times sisters Mary and Huldah are living with or near Philetus and family.

Elizabeth married Edmond Dexter Leonard Abt 22 Oct 1829, Hinsdale, MA. Edmond was born 29 Dec 1804. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Philetus & Betsey are living with his parents, Seneca & Hannah, at Compton, Kane Co., Illinois. In the household with them are their five oldest children, and two women: Huldah Remington, 45, and Mary Remington, 47. These are probably sisters of Philetus. In the 1870 Federal Census, Philetus & Betsey are living at Clay Center, Clay Co., KS. In the household are Howard, Henry, & Emily. They are next door to Mary, age 67, and Hulda, age 65. In 1880, Philetus & Betsy are in Five Creeks, Clay Co., KS, with their children Howard & Emma L., and niece Susan Harkness. Next door are Mary, 77, and Huldah, 74.

Philetus married Betsey B. Unknown Abt 1836. Betsey was born Abt 1811, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Naomi — David Smith. David was born 29 Jul 1807; died 7 Apr 1903; was buried , Big Pond Cemetery, Springfield, Bradford Co., PA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I have made an assumption that the Jane Remington who married Charles Watson is the Jane Remington in this family group. There are three reasons that support this assumption: her age in subsequent censuses agrees with her date of birth; she and Charles are living in Illinois, as are her parents; and she has a son named Philetus, which is also the name of one of her brothers.

Jane married Charles Watson Abt 1838. Charles (son of John Watson and Sophronia Rose) was born 1 Oct 1814, PA; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1880 Federal Census, H. Remington and his wife Jane are living in Union, Clay, KS, with their two teenaged sons. A brother and his family, as well as his parents, are also living in town.

John married Jane Sargeant 14 Sep 1853, Turner Junction, Illinois. Jane was born 16 Feb 1833, OH; died 9 Jan 1915. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1880 Federal Census at Union, Clay County, KS, this family is as follows: J. N. Remington 37, Adelade 32, their 7 children -- apparently including two sets of twins, and the Remington grandparents, Seneca & Hannah. The census data at FamilySearch says Viola was a son, but I have made an assumption that she was a daughter.

James — Frances Adelaide Kellogg. Frances was born Abt 1848, OH. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Notes:

In the Federal Census of 1900, Howard & Anna and their three children are living at Exeter, Clay Co., KS. Howard is a farmer. According to census data, they have been married 14 years; Howard's parents were born in MA/OH, which agrees with my findings.

In the 1920 Federal Census, Howard & Anna are still at Exeter. Two of their children are with them: William and Gladys.

In the Federal Census of 1920, Howard & Annie are still at Exeter.

Howard married Anna Unknown Abt 1886. Anna was born Feb 1865, OH; died Aft 1 Jan 1920. [Group Sheet]
