Margaret Greenfield

Notes:

Margaret Bly was probably a widow when she married Allen. I have estimated her birth year. She was "of Berlin, NY."

The names of her children, surname Bly, were obtained from the estate documents of Allen Remington. Apparently there were some concerns over the distribution of assets, and a plea was entered on their behalf.

Before Margaret married Allen Remington, she gave birth to an illegitimate son named Benjamin, born 2 Oct 1803. After Allen and Margaret married, Benjamin was brought up in the household with the other children and took the surname Remington, as Allen was the only father he ever knew. He later moved with half-brother Daniel Bly to NY State; Benjamin married Sarah Jane Burger; their son Jeremiah Berger Remington was a notable figure in KS.

Margaret — Daniel Bly, Sr.. [Group Sheet]

Margaret married Allen Remington, I Abt 1809. Allen (son of Jonathan Remington and Prudence "Pruda" Unknown) was born 30 Dec 1759, Portsmouth, RI; died 14 Nov 1820, Hancock, Berkshire Co., MA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

After his parents died, Almeron and his brother Lenardo may have gone to New York with their older half-brother, Jonathan and family.

In the 1850 Federal Census, "Almerin" & Eliza are living at Ellisburgh, Jefferson Co., NY, with their young son Walter. In the same town are other Remington relatives, including Jonathan & Dinah, Noel & Nancy, and some of their children.

Notes:

One descendant has the birth date of Lenardo James Remington as 2 June 1814 at Hancock, MA (note: email from M. Lynn Breyfogle).

After his parents died, Lenardo James was probably raised by his half-brother Jonathan, who emigrated to NY State.

I have not found the family in the 1850 census. They are incorrectly indexed by Ancestry in the 1860 & 1870 census transcriptions.

In the 1860 Federal Census, James L. & Elisabeth Remington, ages 46 & 37, are living at Macon, Lenawee Co., MI. They have seven children: Sarah 20, Ann 16, Lorane 14, Mariah 8, Ransom R. 6, Clara 4, & Ellen 4. Also in the household is Lyster Wheeler, 15, a farm laborer.

In the 1880 Federal Census, Lenardo J. Remington is age 65, and Elizabeth A. is 57. They are still living at Macon, Lenawee Co., MI, with Lorain, 33, and Ransom R., 26.

Notes:

In the 1880 Federal Census, William is age 19, single, and a farm laborer living with the George Howell family at Macon, Lenawee Co., MI.

He must have been married shortly after this, because in the 1900 census, I believe he is the William Remington living in MT, whose data says he has been married 20 years. In the 1900 Federal Census, a William & Alfonsene Remington, ages 39 & 44, both b MI, are living at Madison Co., MT. They have one son, "Larnardo," age 17. William is a farmer.
