From web site newenglandancestors.org:
"REMINGTON, William Holdredge, ' Moved from R. I. to Pomeroy, Ohio,' h. REMINGTON, Eliphalet (d. Job Randall of Cranston, R.I. ), ch. William and Patty or Martha (Adams), b. --, 1810 [? in Pawtuxet, R.I. ], P.R.28. Greenfield," MA records (probably from Adams family Bible records). Eliphalet is likely a mistranscription of Elizabeth.
In the 1850 Federal Census, William & Elizabeth are living at Pomeroy, Meigs Co., Ohio, with their five children: P. E., Anne C., Benjamin R., Martha M., & Mary H. William is a merchant.
In 1860 the family is at Salisbury, Meigs Co., OH. The household includes: W. H. Remington, 50 RI, merchant; Elizabeth P., 41 RI; Ansela, 16 OH; Benjamin R., 13 OH; Martha, 11 OH; Mary, 9 OH; & Emer, 7 OH.
They are still living there in 1870, and their young adult children in the household are: Benjamin, Mary, & Emma. William 60 and son Benjamin 24 are dry goods merchants; Elizabeth 57 is keeping house; Mary 19 "helps mother"; and Emma 17 is attending school. (Roll: M593_1242, Page: 165, Image: 331)
In 1880 William & Elizabeth are still at Pomeroy, OH, and are ages 70 & 61. William is a retired merchant. With them is son Benjamin R., 43; it looks as if his occupation is "Hardware & stationery."
As a point of interest, William was likely named after his father William, and also after Deacon William Holdridge/Holdredge, who died at Pawtuxet 5 Dec 1828 in his 86th year.William married Elizabeth Palmer Randall Abt 1835, RI. Elizabeth (daughter of Job Randall and Ann Celia Greene) was born Abt 1816, RI; died Aft 1 Jun 1880, OH. [Group Sheet]

2. P. E. Remington (1.William1) was born Abt 1836, RI. 3. Anne Celia Remington (1.William1) was born 1 Feb 1844, RI; died 11 Feb 1931. Anne married Horace Merrill Horton 1 Jun 1865. Horace was born 27 May 1837, Pomeroy, OH. [Group Sheet]
4. Benjamin R. Remington (1.William1) was born Between 1845 and 1846, OH; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. 5. Martha M. Remington (1.William1) was born Abt 1847, OH. 6. Mary Helen Remington (1.William1) was born Abt 1849, OH. Notes:
The daughter Mary in the 1870 Federal Census is age 19. Perhaps their first daughter Mary died young and another one was born in 1851 (?). Otherwise, there is an age discrepancy of about two years.

7. Emma Remington (1.William1) was born 4 Oct 1852, OH; died 8 Oct 1908. Notes:
I have made an assumption that the Emma Remington who married James Titus is Emma, the daughter of William & Elizabeth. The age and location exactly fit.
Emma married James Nicholas Titus 9 Jun 1874, Pomeroy, Meigs Co., OH. James was born 28 Dec 1841, Rutland, Meigs Co., OH; died 22 Apr 1909, Wichita, Sedgwick Co., KS. [Group Sheet]
