In the 1870 Federal Census, Mary Smith, age 35, is living with her parents Richard & Jane H. Remington, at Hudson, Columbia Co., NY. She has three sons: Alexander, Herbert, & Frank Smith.

I am not absolutely sure that Mary's husband was John D. Smith, but he was the only Smith with a wife named Mary of the correct age and location in the 1860 census.

Mary married John D. Smith Bef 1 Jun 1860. John was born Abt 1830, NY. [Group Sheet]

In the 1850 census, Wager Remington is age 10 NY and living with his parents and siblings at Hudson, Columbia Co., NY.

In the 1860 census, Wager H. Remington is age 20 NY and living/boarding as a farm laborer in Butler, Wayne Co., NY. Also in the same household is George Remington, 22, whom I believe is probably his cousin.

In the 1870 census W. H. Remington is age 30 NY and living at Omaha, Douglas Co., NE. He is a bookkeeper and is married to Kate, age 20 NY.

In 1880 Wager & Kate are still at Omaha, NE. They are ages 40 & 29; Wager is still a bookkeeper.

Edgar Remington of Savannah, NY, was in the Civil War. He was commissioned a Sergeant on 31 Jul 1862 in the 111th Infantry Co. B. Edgar was wounded in the Battle of the Wilderness and therefore was absent due to wounds at the date of general discharge, 4 June 1865. His brother Wager H. and cousin George H. were wounded in the same battle. (Source: Clark, Lewis H.; Military History of Wayne County, NY; Sodus, NY: Hulett & Gaylord, 1863 & 1883, pp 130 List of Soldiers, Savannah.)

He may be the Edgar Remington age 39 living at Chicago, IL, in the 1880 Federal Census.

In the Federal Census of 1900, Richard M. Remington is age 50 and his wife Elizabeth F. is age 48. They are living at Omaha, Douglas Co., NE. This is also the city where Richard's brother Wager H. Remington was living in the 1870 & 1880 censuses. In 1900 Richard & Elizabeth have one son, Arthur (age 18? illegible). Also in the household are Anna M. Mosier, 66, mother-in-law; and Ella R. Mosier, 32, sister-in-law.

Richard married Elizabeth F. Mosher Abt 1882. Elizabeth (daughter of Anna M. Unknown) was born Mar 1852, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1900. [Group Sheet]

In 1870 Arthur is age 17, living with his parents and working as a store clerk in Hudson, Columbia Co., NY.

In 1880 he may be the Arthur Remington age 27 living at Omaha, NE, working as a store clerk and living in a rooming house. However, the census gives his birthplace as Iowa. There are other Remington relatives there (Wager H. Remington and his wife), so I suspect he may be this Arthur.

In 1910 there is an Arthur Remington living at Yorkshire, Cattaraugus Co., NY.
