John Julius B. Remington

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:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Julius is 6 months old, living at Wallingford, VT, with his parents John & Laura Remington.

His name appears variously in the census records as Julius K., J.T., and John T. He was probably named after his father, John Julius Remington (who arrears in census records as John J.B., John B., & Julius J.).

I am making an assumption that he is the J.T. Remington who married Kate A. Kelsey on 30 September, year unknown. His age and location of residence agrees with the family information.

In May 1880 Julius T. Remington became a partner in the purchase and establishment of the Pioneer Pulp Mill in Wallingford, VT. Later that year the partnership was dissolved.

In 1880, this couple are living at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. In 1900 and 1910 they are at Bennington, Bennington Co., VT.

According to Pat Boyden's genealogy, John's name is John Tasso Remington, and he was born 22 Dec 1849 at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT.

The 1900 census data says he was born in Dec 1849. This agrees with the 1850 census data.

I found an online newspaper image which has a brief entry about this individual, although it calls him T. J. Remington of Bennington, VT. From The Evening News, Ada, OK, 16 & 20 Feb 1904: "T. J. Remington of Bennington, VT, is the owner of a handkerchief which his greatuncle, Jerameel Doty, carried when the latter was a soldier in the revolution and later in the the war of 1812. It was used at one time by the soldier to bind up his own wounds." According to my data Jorathmiel Doty was his great-grandfather, although I do not have proof of this.

(?In 1850 his name appears to be "Passo." One genealogy has his name as Tasso.)

"The Congregational Church of Ludlow is significant as possibly the only example of an intact authentic Shingle Style church in Vermont. It was constructed in 1891-92, and retains its historic integrity . . . The church was completed in April 1892 at a total cost of $10,918, including furnishings. J.T. Remington of Wallingford, Vermont, was the construction foreman."

Julius married Kathryn "Kate" A. Kelsey 30 Sep 1873, Salisbury, Addison Co., VT. Kathryn was born Sep 1851, VT; died 20 Feb 1934, Brattleboro, Windham Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

There is a discrepancy in the dates I have been given. One genealogy says Oscar drowned in Otter Creek 28 Apr 1878. However, another says he was married 29 Dec 1878. Obviously, at least one of these is incorrect.

Oscar married Ellen "Nell" Bushey 29 Dec 1878, Salisbury, Addison Co., VT. Ellen was born Jun 1860, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1900. [Group Sheet]
