Joseph Remington

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 1880 census her name is written as Emma.

In the 1900 Federal Census, Amy (Emma?) is living with her parents at Jamestown, Stutsman Co., North Dakota. She has two daughters: Adeline A. & Celia T. (some letters are difficult to read).
