Edward Doty, Jr.

Edward married Hannah Eldridge 11 Dec 1755. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

According to the gravestone, "Jerahmeel Doty" died at age 93 (from photo on website of Norman Charles Hill). He was in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.

He appears to be age 86 in the 1850 census (Jerathmun Doty).

Jorathmiel — Sarah Look. Sarah was born 1761, Rochester, Plymouth Co., MA; died 6 Aug 1842, Wallingford, VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

One Doty genealogy says Huldah was born in 1787.

Huldah married Isaac Remington Abt 2 Dec 1809, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. Isaac (son of Jonathan Remington and Martha Sprague) was born 1 Mar 1787, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1850. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1870 Federal Census, R. Remington (female age 74) is living at Tinmouth, Rutland Co., VT, with Ezekiel & Filena Hill and their daughter Laura. I am assuming that Filena is Rebecca's daughter.

Pat Boyden's Remington genealogy says Rebecca died 27 Nov 1888. I have not verified her date of death.

War of 1812, Rebecca's pension no. 6521.

Rebecca married Rufus Remington Abt 1814. Rufus (son of Jonathan Remington and Martha Sprague) was born Between 11 Mar and 11 Aug 1790, Wallingford, Rutland, VT; died 28 Aug 1866, Wallingford, Rutland, VT; was buried , Doty Cemetery, South Wallingford, VT. [Group Sheet]

In the 1850 Federal Census, Solomon appears to be the individual of that name living at Oswego, Oswego Co., NY. His age is given as 39, which is correct for him. The head of household is Isaac Remington, age 62; both are born VT. Also in the home are the following (not listed in this order): Mary 38, Huldah 27, Joseph 20, Wealthy 11, Truman 8, Irving 3, & Eveline 1.

In the 1860 Federal Census, Solomon Remington and family are living at Clay, Jones Co., IA. His second wife, Fanny, is age 30; four of his children and one of hers by her previous marriage are in the household.

In 1870 Solom Remington, 60, and his wife Fannie, 40, are living at Webster, Webster Co., IA.

In 1880 Solomon & Fannie A. are 69 & 49, still at Webster. Son Erving O., age 31, is with them.

Solomon married Mary Margaret Ostrander 4 Oct 1836. Mary (daughter of Henry G. Ostrander and Hannah Eliza Unknown) was born 2 Aug 1817, NY; died 29 Jul 1854. [Group Sheet]

Solomon married Fanny A. Mandigo 28 May 1855, Bowers Prairie, Jones Co., IA. Fanny was born 1830, Brownsville, Jefferson Co., NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1870. [Group Sheet]

Sarah married Oliver Morgan Abt 1838. Oliver was born Abt 1807, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1870. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Huldah is age 27, living at Oswego, NY, with other family members. I have made an assumption that she is Isaac's daughter, as he is the head of household.

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.)

His name may have been Isaac Nathan.

I have made an assumption that Nathan belongs in this family group, because in the 1850 Federal Census he and Rhoda are living a few doors down from Isaac, Solomon, and other siblings at Oswego, Oswego Co., NY. Nathan is age 27 and Rhoda is 20. They are cousins.

In the 1860 Federal Census, Nathan & Rhoda Remington are living at Diana, Lewis Co., NY. He is 35 VT and she is 26 VT. They have a daughter Emma, age 6 (see note below). They are near Nathan's cousin Amos Remington and family.

In the 1870 Federal Census, Nathan & Rhoda are 47 VT & 39 VT, living at Webster, Hamilton Co., IA. In the household are two young people -- Emma Waldworth, 16, & Jonathan Bowhall, 10. Jonathan is Rhoda's orphaned nephew. Could this be the same Emma that is with them in 1860 (the age is right)? If so, she may be adopted or a foster child.

In 1880, I. N. & Rhody Remington are ages 50 & 45, still living in Webster City, Hamilton Co., IA.

Nathan married Rhoda Remington Bef 1 Jun 1850. Rhoda (daughter of Jonathan Remington and Unknown Wife) was born 1831, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

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 Federal Census of 1840, Rufus Remmington Jr. is living at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Rufus & Pruda are living at Wallingford, Rutland, VT, with their four children. They are near Rufus Sr., Amos, & John J. B. Remington and their families.

Rufus married Pruda Unknown Abt 1839. Pruda was born Abt 1825, VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1850. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Amos & Phebe E. Remington are living at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT, with their two daughters Phebe E. 3 & Rebecca 4 months.

In 1860, 1870, and 1880 the family is at Diana, Lewis Co., NY. In 1870 and 1880 they are next to John & Susanna; John is Amos's presumed uncle. This needs more research ro confirm.

In the Federal Census of 1910, Amos Remington, aged 93 wd, is living at Diana, Lewis Co., NY, with Charles & Julia (Judah) R. Cole and their adopted son.

His middle initial is not given in any of the censuses, but is in the gravestone transcription.

The intersection of NY Rts. 3 & 812 in Diana, Lewis Co., NY, is called "Remington Corners."

Amos married Phebe E. Cole 14 Mar 1847, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. Phebe was born Abt 1826, VT; died 1907; was buried , Harrisville Cemetery, Diana, Lewis Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Pat Boyden's Remington genealogy says David died in 1829 and his gravesite is in the Hill-Roberts Cemetery, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. This needs more research.

According to notes from Norman Charles Hill, David died from burns suffered in a fatal fire.

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:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher, and to other sources as ntoed herein.)

During the Civil War, Edmond was a Sergeant in Company B 27th Regiment, Michigan (infantry), serving under Col. Wait in Capt. Nelson Truckey's Company. When he enlisted as a volunteer in 1862, Edmond was age 38 and a farmer; it was for a three-year enlistment. After being wounded on 3 June 1864 and discharged at VA on 3 March 1865, Edmond returned home to MI and later went to SD with his second wife, Hannah. On 30 Oct 1875, Edmond made a signed and sworn statement concerning his military service, in connection with his pension application. An accompanying form says he lives about 4 miles northwest from Elk Point, Union Co., SD.

When Edmond died in 1882, he was drawing a military pension of $8 per month.

In a deposition which was part of the pension process for Edmond's widow, Hannah, Oliver D. Bishop stated that he became acquainted with Edmond & Jemima at the village of C___ City of Marquette, MI. In the summer of 1859 Edmond & Jemimah moved to the township of Chocolay. In the fall of 1860 Jemima M. Remington became sick and continued to become more feeble. She died 29 Mar 1861; Oliver was at her funeral and burial. Less than four months later, Edmond married his second wife, Hannah Welch, at Oliver Bishop's home. (statement signed by Oliver D. Bishop and dated 13 or 14 Aug 1894 Minneapolis, MN)

In another deposition, dated 4 Feb 1897, Warren Fisk, farmer of Elk Point, Union Co,m SD, stated that he knew Edmond (Edward) Remington well. "When we came out here we both located on the prairie about a mile apart and were just as intimate as neighbors could be. He bought meat in my shop the night before he killed himself with strychnine, in the summer of 1883. When he died he had about 110 acres of land, 1/4 mile from the Wisconsin ]Missouri ?] River, just south of this town [Elk Point]. The widow Hannah never has derived an income from the land . . . she went to Oklahoma to live and now her son Thomas works the place but pays her nothing. About 30 acres is under cultivation. She is a good, honest, industrious woman."

The notes in the following two paragraphs are from a descendant, Shirley Herbert: "His military records state he was born in Wallingford . . . , but with no reference to his mother or father . . . He married Jemima and was one of the first settlers in Marquette . . . Edward's wife died and he and his son-in-law, Jerome, enlisted in the 27th Michigan. They saw many battles and they were both injured. Upon returning home, Edward married again, a Hannah Welsh; had more children, and moved his family to Elk Point, SD . . . where he died [in 1882] . . .

"Edmund enlisted on August 15, 1862. He signed the volunteer enlistment papers as Edmond R. Remington. The Certificate of Disability for Discharge states: '. . . and find him incapable of performing duties of a soldier because of gunshot wound of left leg by minnie ball received June 3rd, 1864 at Battle of Bethesda Church. Injured thru tibia and fractured fibula causing lameness to a degree that incapacitates him for service in the field or Veteran Reserve Corps. Disability 3/4." s/ Wm Ingalls, Surgeon.' Edmond was discharged the 3rd of March, 1865 at camp [in VA]. He and his son-in-law, had been in a military hospital for almost a year."

Research notes from Norman Charles Hill state that Edward R. Remington, s/o Rufus & Rebecca, married Margaret and was in Cherry Creek, MI, in 1862. (My note -- perhaps Jemima's middle name was Margaret?)

Note from Shirley Herbert: Cherry Creek is in Marquette Township, just outside the City of Marquette. Edmond's son-in-law, Jerome N. White, had a house there, so maybe Edmond did too.

My notes:

Edmond's military papers describe him as 5'9" (or 5'6"), weighing about 150 - 156 lbs., having blue eyes and dark hair, and either dark or fair complected (depending on the particular year; two say dark and one says fair).

I am not absolutely sure that Edmond belongs in this family group. However, a descendant, Mary Currie, has posted data at Rootsweb showing that he may belong here. This is reasonably supported by his place of birth, estimated year of birth, birthplaces of parents, and naming a son Julius, as shown in census data noted below. The 1820 Federal Census lists Rufus Remington at Wallingford, VT; also there are Jonathan, Joseph, Jesse, & John Remington.

In the 1850 Federal Census, "Edward" & Jemima are living at Marquette, Marquette Co., MI. Their daughter "Adalade" is age 5. Also in the household are Abner & Milton Mitchell, ages 24 & 22 WI, laborers.

In 1860 he is Edmund R. Remington, age 35 VT, living with his family at Chocolay, Marquette Co., MI. Jemima M. is 39 VT, and the children are as follows: Adelaide L. 14 VT, Albert 3 MI, & Julius 1 MI.

Historical documents in the Marquette County Historical Society list the names of the individuals who organized the new township of Chocolay on 10 Feb 1860. E. R. Remington is one of the founders. He is also listed as Moderator and Highway Commissioner.

In 1870 he is Edmond Remington, age 45 VT, still living at Chocolay, MI. He has a wife named Hannah, age 34, b Ireland. They have four children in the home: Albert 14, Julius 11, Thomas 8, & Grace 4. I am not sure whether the two youngest children belong to the first wife or the second; however, see note below on Thomas, which suggests that Thomas & Grace may belong to Hannah.

In the 1880 Federal Census, he appears to be the Edward R. Remington, age 55, mining for gold, living at Upper Sand Creek Gulch, Laramie, WY. It says his parents were born VT/RI. His son Thomas, age 17, is with him; the census says Thomas's mother was born in Scotland. Undoubtedly this is the same family as the above.

Also in 1880, Edmond's wife Hannah and daughter Grace are living in Civil Bend, Union, Dakota Territory. Edmund's name is listed on the last census sheet for the town.

Publication: The Washington Times; Publication Date: 08-NOV-03; Article Excerpt
Byline: Paul Herbert, SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES

"As one enters Marquette, Mich., along U.S. Route 41, there is a monument with the following inscription to the Civil War veterans from Michigan's Upper Peninsula: 'Ever in the realms of glory, Shall shine your starry all...fame; Angels have heard your story, God knows your names.'

"The angels may know the stories of all the Marquette veterans of the 27th Michigan, or Lake Superior Regiment, but I only know about two of them, who were my ancestors. Jerome White was a 21-year-old farmer when he signed up with his 38-year-old father-in-law, Edmond Remington, in August 1862. Jerome was born in Peru in Clinton County, N.Y., and Ed was born in Wallingford, Vt.

"The news of the attack on Fort Sumter, which had started the Civil War 18 months earlier, reached Jerome, Ed and the other residents of Marquette 'by the overland mail, the dog mail that came up from Green Bay, but the first authentic news was brought a little later when the first boats came in,' a history of the period records.

" 'Five steamers arrived in Marquette together. Then there was excitement. Business was practically suspended. Banks did nothing, storekeepers did nothing. Everybody talked of war and was anxious to have it prosecuted to the most vigorous extent. Political parties made no difference. Everybody was filled with patriotism.'

"It took two years and more than 1,000 miles for Jerome White and Edmond Remington to go from the wilderness of Michigan's Upper Peninsula to the Wilderness battlefield of Virginia..."

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Sylvia Remington is age 18 and living with her older brother John and his wife Laura and their son Passo, age 7 months. They are at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT, near their parents Rufus & Rebecca, as well as other family members.

In 1860 she is Sylvia A. Brockway, age 28 NY, living at Weston, Windsor Co., VT. She is a housekeeper in the home of William Foster. she has two daughters: Rebecca J. 3, & Laura E. 1. Also in the household is Martin Rose, 18, a farm laborer.

In the 1880 Federal Census, Sylvia A. Sprague, age 49, is a sister-in-law living with Ezekiel & Philena Hill at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT.

See note for Noah Solon Crowley.

The following is from a posting on the Remington message board at genealogy.com: "Sylvia Remington, daughter of Rufus Remington and Rebecca, lived in Tinmouth, VT. She married Jerry Doty, then Lorenzo Brockway, then Noah Solon Crowley. She is listed as mother to Leulla Brockway who married a Harvey." (by Fritzi Hardy)

Sylvia married Jerry G. Doty 2 Mar 1847, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Sylvia married Lorenzo Brockway Between 1850 and 1856. [Group Sheet]

Sylvia married Noah S. Crowley Aft 1 Jun 1860. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Pat Boyden's Remington genealogy has Philena's date of birth as Sept 1826.

Philena married Ezekiel Hill Abt 1850. Ezekiel (son of William Hill and Amy Ross) was born 15 Mar 1825, VT; died 1 Nov 1898; was buried , New Mechanicsville Cemetery, Mt. Holly, Rutland Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Notes sent to me by Norman Charles Hill place this Jonathan as a son of Rufus Remington. I also have wondered if Jonathan might be a son of Jonathan b 1801 or of John b 1794, both sons of Jonathan & Martha (Sprague) Remington, as was Rufus.

Information from Mary Lou Rafery placed this Jonathan as a son of John Remington b 1801 and Unknown Wife. Jonathan's birthplace is NY in two of the censuses, but VT in two others. Jonathan's presumed father, Rufus, was living in NY in 1830, but back in VT by 1840, where there is a Jonathan Remington living next to him. However, Jonathan's age in that census does not agree with his age here. (This family needs more research.)

He is probably the Jonathan Remington, age 20 VT, in the 1850 census at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. He is a carpenter, and is listed twice in the census; all were born in VT. Nearby are Octavia Remington 22 VT and Prudence Remington 18 VT (could they be daughters of Truman?). All three are living in different households. How are they related? Was Jonathan born in NY but returned to his parents' former hometown to be a carpenter's apprentice?

In the Federal Census of 1860, Jonathan & Sophia, ages 40 VT & 35 VT, are living at Wallingford, VT. He is a carpenter and joiner. Son Frank is 6 months.

In the Federal Census of 1870, Jno & S. E. Remington, ages 41 NY & 42 VT, are living at Diana, Lewis Co., NY. Son Frank is 10 NY. According to census data, Jonathan and Frank were born in NY.

In the 1880 Federal Census, Jonathan & Sophia Remington are ages 51 NY & 52 VT, living at Diana, Lewis Co., NY. Their son Frank, age 20, is with them.

Two of the censuses give Jonathan's birthplace as NY, two as VT.

Jonathan married Sophia E. Cook 16 Oct 1851, VT. Sophia was born Abt 1829, VT; died 1888, NY; was buried , Harrisville Cemetery, Diana, Lewis Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

Rebecca married Gallusha Sprague 10 Jul 1858, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. Gallusha (son of Manassah Sprague and Laura Taft) was born Between 1823 and 1825, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]
