Thomas Remington, Jr.

Notes:

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

I have tentatively determined this Thomas Remington's parentage from his Revolutionary War pension file, in which his sister Mary Bennett gives a sworn testimony. I have made an assumption that his sister Mary Bennett, is the same Mary as the daughter of Thomas & Mary (Collins) Remington.

It is possible that Mary (Remington) Bennett and her brother Thomas, Jr., were children of a different Thomas Remington; however, given their ages and locality, this family is the most likely. No other Thomas Remington of record has proved to be a possibility, although there were other Thomas Remingtons born in Rhode Island of whom nothing else is known.

According to his pension file data at the National Archives in Waltham (George Sermuksnis, Archives Technician), Thomas was residing at Providence when he received his pension. He lived in Warwick during the the Revolutionary War.

Please note that some online genealogies have shown Mary Wood as a second wife for the Thomas Remington, Jr., who is the son of Thomas & Abigail (Eldred) Remington, of Cowesett, Warwick, RI. However, that is incorrect, as that Thomas has a different date of death: 6 Aug 1817. His grave is in Coventry, RI. Also, there is no William or Charles among their known children.

From "Genealogical Abstracts of Revolutionary War Pension Files," Vol. III: N - Z, abstracted by Virgil D. White, The National Historical Publishing Co., Waynesboro, TN, 1992, p. 2849, summary of his pension file:

"REMINGTON Thomas, Mary, RI Line, W13847, sol was a son of Thomas Remington & he m Mary daughter or [sic] William Wood on 7 Jun 1778 at Warwick RI, sol d 19 Jan 1831, wid appl 29 Octg [sic] 1836 at Cranston RI & she d there 29 Mar 1837 & the bal due wid at her death was paid to the following children; Charles, Daniel & William Remington her only surviving children."

Although Thomas was a Revolutionary War Veteran and his wife Mary received his pension, it is not known where either of them is buried.

The Federal Census of 1790 lists 4 Thomas Remingtons in Warwick. I am assuming that one of these is this particular Thomas, likely the one designated as Thomas Remington, Jr. and living near another Thomas Remington. The household shows 5 free white males under age 16, 1 free white male 16 and over, and 3 free white females. This suggests that there may have been 5 sons and 2 daughters in the family at that time.

"Cousin Thomas Remington Jr. of Coventry" is named as executor in the 1805 will of Thomas Collins of Foster, yeoman, who died about Mar 1818 when the will was proved.

There may have been a son named Henry. The 1810 census shows a Charles Remington and a Henry Remington listed next to each other. Both Charles and William included the name Henry among their children.

The inventory of the estate of Thomas Remington was taken between June and August 1831. Charles Remington was the Administrator, appraisers were Christopher Spencer, Edmund Burke, and George Carder. The image of the inventory, totalling $91.11, is viewable at ancestry.com. Two of the individuals listed as having claims are William and Joseph Remington.

Thomas married Mary Wood 7 Jun 1778, Warwick, RI. Mary (daughter of William Wood) was born Abt 1758; died 29 Mar 1837, Cranston, Providence Co., RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

It is possible that he had a first wife named Alice, with whom he lived in NY State. See notes for Stacy Waterman Remington on this family tree.

He is probably the Charles Remington listed in the 1820 Federal Census at Warwick, RI. In addition to Charles & Betsey, who are both 26 - 45, the household includes one male 10 - 15, two males under 10, two females 10 - 15, and two females under 10. If these are all his children, there are three sons and four daughters.

There is some discrepancy about the dates of birth and death for Charles. "Providence, RI Deaths 1851 - 1879" Vol. 3, p. 488, has the following information: Remington, Charles, s. of Thomas, 87 yrs., Mar 14 1857 (10:9). This would place his birth year as c1770. It also provides the key information that his father was a Thomas Remington -- one of the many. The RI Death Index identifies his parents as Thomas & Mary. On the same page in the book "Providence, RI Deaths" is the following entry: Elizabeth, wid. of Charles, 81 yrs., Mar 28 1866 (11:199). This Charles & this Elizabeth are husband and wife, as demonstrated by the following cemetery and census data.

The RI Cemetery Database has this information, differing slightly from the above: Charles Remington, 25 Oct 1776 - 13 Mar 1856; and Betsey (Stafford) Remington, c1785 - 28 Mar 1866.

REMINGTON, CHARLES 1776 - 13 MAR 1856 CR026
REMINGTON, BETSEY (STAFFORD) 1785c - 28 MAR 1866 CR026

Charles's death is also recorded at Cranston, RI, as 14 March 1857 (Bk 3, p12).

Their graves are both in the John Stafford Lot on Pontiac Ave., Cranston. Clearly these are the same individuals listed in the book "Providence, RI Deaths." However, notice that the year of Charles's birth, and the date of death, are different.

In the Federal Census of 1850, Charles is 74, a farmer, and Betsey is 67. They are at Cranston, RI.

On 15 March 1857, Benjamin W. Remington, along with William & Betsey S. Randall, petitioned the Cranston Probate Court, "holden at the Inn of Lyman Barney," concerning Charles & Betsey Remington, Benjamin's parents. I am guessing that Betsey was very likely his sister -- perhaps born Betsey Stafford Remington (needs more research to confirm). Benjamin, William, & Betsey "respectfully represent that Charles Remington and Betsey Remington, wife of said Charles, are incompetent to manage their estates and affairs, and your petitioners are afraid they will squander their property and render themselves chargeable, and [request] that your Honorable body will appoint some suitable person guardian."

I suspect Charles may be a son of Thomas Remington, Jr. and Mary Wood, who were married 7 June 1778 at Warwick, RI. The RI Death Index identifies his parents as Thomas & Mary, which agrees with my theory (although both of these are common names). If so, he may have been born in 1778 or after; or, he may be a son of a previous marriage for this Thomas. In the 1850 Federal Census at Cranston, RI, Charles is 74 and Betsey is 67. This would place his year of birth as c1776, which agrees with the cemetery data. But perhaps he didn't know exactly what year he was born, or didn't keep exact count over the years, as so often happens with records through the decades. If his birth date was calculated based on his age at death, it may not be correct.

Although I have found no birth records for them, there are several reasons why I have placed Charles and William in this family group. First of all, according to the death record at Warwick City Hall, and the RI Death Index, William was a son of Thomas (no mother is mentioned); Charles is known to be son of a Thomas & Mary. Secondly, they were born around the same time, and lived in the same area (Warwick/Cranston/Pawtuxet Village). Thirdly, Charles & Betsey had a son named Benjamin W. Remington, who had sons named Albert F. and William H. Benjamin's son Albert F. is found living at Thomas, GA, in the 1860 Federal Census, in the household of Charles H. & Ellen Remington and family. Also in Thomas, GA, at that time are Edward Remington and his extended family. Edward is a son of William, of Thomas. In 1875, the wife (or widow) of Charles H. Remington, Ellen, is living at Providence, RI, next to/with Albert F. and William H., the sons of Benjamin W. There is clearly a close family relationship here. The most reasonable explanation is that Charles & William were brothers, and that the Remington individuals living together in Thomas, GA, and in Providence, RI, were cousins. Additional evidence is the repetition of the same names in both families.

I have also wondered if this Charles Remington may have married first to Alice, and had a son named Stacy Waterman Remington b 21 Oct 1809 (see notes elsewhere on this tree for that family). One similarity is the middle name Warren among the children/grandchildren.

If any new information comes to light, it will be added to this family tree.

Charles married Elizabeth "Betsey" Stafford Abt 1811. Elizabeth (daughter of John Stafford and Mary Arnold) was born Between 1782 and 1785; died 28 Mar 1866; was buried , John Stafford Lot, Pontiac Ave., Cranston, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

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

William's will dated 31 May 1852 mentions his (second) wife Avis and sons Henry A., Edward, & William H.

The death record at Warwick City Hall reads: "William Remington, son of Thomas; trader, d. 23 June 1852 age 73." (Note: James N. Arnold's published transcription of this record is incorrect; I have viewed the original twice for verification) The RI Death Index agrees with the original.

I do not have absolute proof of the identity of William's parents, but the available evidence points to this Thomas and Mary. It is known that his father is Thomas. The most likely possibility is Thomas Remington, Jr., who married Mary Wood, d/o William, at Warwick on 7 June 1778, by Elder Charles Holden. (Consequently, I am tentatively placing him in this family; research is ongoing to confirm.)

William is mentioned as a son in Thomas Remington's Revolutionary War Pension File # W13847.

Research throughout Rhode Island has shown that there is no record of any other William, son of Thomas.

William owned a house which is now known as the Remington House, at 71 Remington Street in Pawtuxet, Warwick, RI. This house was at one time rented to the Pawtuxet school district for use as a school. An old receipt shows that William was paid $3 per month, for a total of $12, covering the period from 9 Dec 1833 to 8 Apr 1834. Most likely, ownership of the house was passed down to son Henry after William's death, since Henry is indicated as owner on an 1855 map. (source: "Pawtuxet Schools" by Henry A. L. Brown, an article in "The Bridge" Fall 2005 Vol. 31 No. 2, p. 10 -- A Newsletter of the Pawtuxet Village Association)

The plaque on the front of the William Remington house has the date 1728. Does this mean the house was built that year? Also, who built the house -- a Remington ancestor or someone else? This needs more research. (I have photographed this house; image available upon request.)

From RI Cemetery Database:
REMINGTON WILLIAM 1779c - 23 JUN 1852 WK001

Cemetery notes:
Historical Cemetery # WK001, Lakewood Burial Ground, Warwick, RI / Location: 75 ft west of IRVING RD at TEL pole # 4 / 24 burials with 5 inscriptions from 1822 to 1862 / 100 ft x 200 ft in poor condition no enclosure; sign missing / Tax Assessors Map #: Plat #: 289, Lot #: 551 / James N. Arnold visited this lot 10 Aug 1891; Vol 4 Pg 87 "At Lakewood on the north side of the Greenwich Rd. and west of the Warwick branch Road, in plain sight of both, a burial yard showing neglect, both fence and yard." In 1994 this burial ground was almost totally destroyed and most of the stones were missing. This cemetery has been recorded and checked.

William married Martha "Pattey" Adams 12 Apr 1804, Warwick, Kent Co., RI. Martha (daughter of Andrew Adams and Molly Morse) was born 4 Jan 1784, Northbridge, MA; died 11 Jun 1822, Pawtuxet Village, Warwick, RI; was buried , Lakewood Burial Ground, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

William married Avis Unknown Aft 1822. Avis was born Abt 1792; died Between 18 and 27 Feb 1858, Warwick, RI; was buried , Lakewood Burial Ground, Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I don't know for sure if this Joseph belongs in this family group, but the birth record identifies him as Joseph Remington, of Thomas. I have checked the family groups of the other families in Warwick, as well as the 1790 census for each of them, and Joseph fits best here.

An inventory of the estate of Joseph Remington of Warwick is listed in the probate records, viewable at ancestry.com, 13 Apr 1835; Thomas Holden, his guardian.

Notes:

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

Daniel was "of Warwick." However, I don't see him listed in the 1820 census in RI. Could they have moved away and then back to RI before son Ben was born?

He may be the Daniel Remington, age 62, RI, laborer, living at Providence, RI, in the 1850 Federal Census. Daniel is living with Maria Waterman and three Allen family members.

I can't find any gravestone records for Daniel or Alice, or any death records. Perhaps Daniel died between 1850 and 1853, when the RI Death Index began.

Daniel married Alice Stephens 21 Sep 1806, Warwick, RI. Alice was born Abt 1788; died Aft 1822. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the Federal Census of 1830, Thomas Remington is listed as living in Warwick, RI. In that census, there are three individuals named Thomas Remington in Warwick. However, I have made an assumption that his one is the individual listed with other families of the surnames Hill, Wood, and Browning, who I also am assuming are his relatives.

Some of the individuals listed on the same census page with Thomas are: Christopher Hill, William Wood, another William Wood, Sally Ann Wood, John Browning, Stephen Browning, and Benjamin Hill.

For this reason, I have made an additional assumption that this particular Thomas Remington is a son of Thomas Remington and Mary Wood (daughter of William Wood).

The household data in the 1830 census agrees with the known family information for Thomas, as it indicates one free white male age 30 - 40, one free white female age 30 - 40, one free white female under age 5, and one free white female age 5 - 10.

Please note that the above assumptions assumptions are supported by census and cemetery evidence, as well as family relationships confirmed by marriages. However, no birth record exists for Thomas, to prove the identity of his parents.

Thomas had a son named Charles, who may have been named after his (assumed) brother Charles.

I believe that Thomas is not mentioned in his father's Revolutionary War pension records because he was deceased when the final payment was made to his mother, Mary Remington, who died in 1837.

Thomas married Patience P. Hill Abt 1823. Patience (daughter of Christopher Hill and Mary Whipple) was born Abt 1797; died 2 May 1842; was buried , Historic Cemetery WK114, Tollgate Rd., Warwick, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I am not positive that Mary belongs in this family. However, based on family names, dates, locations, and connections, I think there's a good chance she belongs here, and that she was named after her maternal grandmother, Mary Arnold.

However, this needs more research to confirm.

She may be a half-sister or full sister to Stacy Waterman Remington, son of Charles & Alice Remington. See notes for Mary's husband Joseph.

Mary and her husband Joseph named their oldest son Charles.

Mary died at age 87y.

Mary — Joseph Gardiner Johnson. Joseph (son of Freeborn Johnson and Martha Allen) was born 1817, West Greenwich, RI; died 25 Mar 1881, Cranston, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

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

I have made an assumption that Betsey S. Randall, wife of William Randall, is the daughter of Charles & Betsey (Stafford) Remington. The main evidence for this is the document signed by her, her husband, and Benjamin W. Remington. This appeal to the Cranston Probate Court concerning the estate of Charles & Betsey, suggests that there is a family relationship among these individuals. Also, her name is additional evidence that she is Betsey's daughter; probably her middle name is Stafford. Lastly, her son is Charles H. Randall, probably named after her father Charles and her brother, Charles H. Remington.

Elizabeth married William Randall 3 Mar 1844. William was born 1809; died 6 Sep 1874; was buried , King-Randall Lot, Cranston, RI. [Group Sheet]

From James N. Arnold's "Vital Record of RI": REMINGTON, Benjamin W., born Warren, of Charles and Betsey, 66y 0m 9d, July 24, 1884. I believe the birthplace is an error here; it should say Warwick.

The RI Genealogical Register, Vol. 12, p. 250, says Benjamin was born 15 July 1817 Wa. The abbreviation Wa signifies Warwick.

familysearch.org shows his middle name as Warren (death record); perhaps where the confusion came from.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Benjamin & Matilda, ages 33 & 24, are living in Ward 6, Providence, RI. They have four sons, all born in RI.

In the 1860 Federal Census, Benjamin W. and his second wife, Mary, are living at Cranston, RI. In the household is Benjamin's mother, Betsey Remington, age 76; also three children -- Albert, William H., & Benjamin. They are living next door to Silas & Cynthia Allen and their family.

In the 1870 Federal Census, they are living in Ward 9, Providence, RI. The household includes Benjamin W., Mary A., adult son William H., and son Frank R., age 8. Also with them is Rebecca Allen, 77; she may be Mary's mother, so I am adding her to the family tree upon that assumption (needs more research to confirm). Silas & Cynthia Allen are nearby, although not next door, as in 1860. Perhaps they are related to Mary.

In the 1880 Federal Census, Benjamin and his second wife, Mary A., have one of their children in the household -- Frank R., 18. Also there is a niece, Ada Allen, age 30. They are living on Broad St., Providence, RI.

Interestingly, they are in the same neighborhood as Stacy W. Remington, but Stacy was born in NY, and Ben was born in RI. Could they be brothers? If so, their parents must have gone to NY State for a while, then returned to RI.

On 15 March 1857, Benjamin W. Remington, along with William & Betsey S. Randall, petitioned the Cranston Probate Court, "holden at the Inn of Lyman Barney," concerning Charles & Betsey Remington, Benjamin's parents. I am guessing that Betsey was very likely his sister -- perhaps born Betsey Stafford Remington (needs more research to confirm). Benjamin, William, & Betsey "respectfully represent that Charles Remington and Betsey Remington, wife of said Charles, are incompetent to manage their estates and affairs, and your petitioners are afraid they will squander their property and render themselves chargeable, and [request] that your Honorable body will appoint some suitable person guardian."

Benjamin married Matilda Spink 28 Oct 1841, Providence, RI. Matilda (daughter of Silas Spink and Ruth Essex) was born 9 Feb 1825, North Kingstown, RI; died 10 Dec 1852; was buried , Locust Grove Cemetery, Providence, RI. [Group Sheet]

Benjamin married Mary A. Allen Between 1853 and 1855. Mary (daughter of Rebecca Unknown) was born Abt 1824, RI; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

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

Charles's middle name as Henry came from a letter written by Lottie Remington (wife of Hinton) dated 5 Dec 1971.

According to handwritten notes sent to me by Dorothy Remington Cuthbert, Charles was born in 1815.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Charles H. Remington, age 28, b. RI, is living at Thomas, GA. This would place his birth year as c1822. His profession is given as Artist.

Also listed in this census as living in Thomas, GA, are the following Remingtons: Edward, 34 RI, who I believe to be Charles's first cousin; Edward's wife Mary (Smith), 46 RI; Francis, 23, their son; Ann, 18 GA, Francis's wife (her age is about three years off); their infant daughter Mary, 4 months; and lastly Edward 9, and Mary 13, children of Edward & Mary (Smith) Remington, and thus siblings of Francis. (see Georgia Genweb site for this 1850 census data)

In 1860 Charles is age 40, which would place his birth year as c1820. The 1860 Federal Census at Thomas, GA, lists Ch. H. Remington, 40 RI, artist; Ellen P. Remington, 22 GA; S. A. Remington, 4 GA; C. H. Remington, 3 GA; H. S. Remington, 6/12 GA; and A. F. Remington, 17 RI. I believe A. F. is Albert F. Remington, Charles's nephew, son of Benjamin. (Charles's wife and sons are living near Albert and his family in a later census -- 1875 -- in Providence, RI.)

I am guessing that Ch. H. Remington may have died before the 1870 census, when his sons are living with relatives of his wife Ellen.

From "Ante-bellum Thomas County 1825 - 1861" by William Warren Rogers, Chapter II, Town Life, pp. 14, 15, & 20: "The general economic trend in Thomas County was favorable, and Thomasville shared in the prosperity of the 1850s. Circumstances were so promising that Charles H. Remington, Jared Everett, and Freeman W. Johnson received a charter for the Thomasville Loan and Building Association in February, 1854 . . . Charles H. Remington was a man of several interests. He operated a gallery, painted signs, sold and hung wall paper, and opened a photographic studio in the 1850s. Not satisfied, he soon branched off into the insurance business and joined Isaiah Dekle in opening a furniture store." (this county history was originally published as Florida State University Studies, Number 39, Tallahasee, 1963)

Remington's Photographic Gallery was opposite the Post Office in Thomasville.

Found on web site [http://www.daguerreotype.com/]:
Remington, Charles H. - Believed to be the only professional daguerreotypist on the judicial bench in the U.S., Judge Charles H. Remington was active in Thomaston, Ga. from 1854 to 1856. Elsewhere the location was noted as Thomasville, Ga. (Information corrected to November, 1997;

Charles married Ellen Perry Sharpe 29 Jan 1854, GA. Ellen (daughter of Hamilton Wynn Sharpe and Jane Perry) was born Between 1836 and 1838, GA; died 1923. [Group Sheet]

Some information on Edward's wives and descendants, as well as numerous other family connections, particularly the SMITH line, came from Chandler Smith Cheek (contact info available on request).

Edward was born at Pawtuxet, RI, and died at Thomasville, GA. Edward and his family probably moved from Rhode Island to Thomasville as early as 1827, but certainly by 1829. (Pardon Sheldon Remington Jr. wrote that they moved south in 1829 for health reasons -- email from John Piot.) The newly settled town was incorporated in 1831, and Edward Remington was appointed as one of the town commissioners. Martha Benns, in her compilation titled Remington Family, includes a notation that he was the first mayor of Thomasville, although a county history says Thomasville's first mayor was Robert Hardaway. It has also been said that his daughter Mattie was the first white child born in Thomasville, and that a street in town was named after him. Mr. Remington opened the first general stock of merchandise in the town (probably with his father-in-law Simeon Smith), and thereafter was a leading and highly esteemed merchant there for almost a half century. (see excerpt below) According to Pardon Sheldon Remington Jr., Edward's first store was opened in a small log building (email from John Piot).

Evidently Edward Remington traveled from Georgia to Rhode Island year by year, for part or all of the summer, as was the custom for many northerners who had moved south. He usually stayed with his wife's uncle, Remington Smith.

Edward Remington also went to the Alachua County, Florida, area to set up his merchandising business and for the most part let Lewis G. Pyles, his son-in-law, act as his agent.

Edward died in the 74th year of his age, and is buried next to the Smith lot in the Old City Cemetery at Thomasville. His obituary describes him as "trustworthy and honest, a devoted husband and tender father." He was a member of the Baptist Church. His funeral was held on a Sunday, and due to respect of so many citizens, the churches were not opened for regular morning services. The funeral service at the cemetery included singing, prayers, Scripture readings, and a message by Rev. C. S. Gauden on the theme "The Empty Tomb of Jesus." The headstone inscription reads: "In memory of Edward Remington, born in Warwick, Rhode Island, June 7, 1804; died Thomasville April 18, 1878, There remaineth a rest for the people of God."

The Edward Remington household was in the 1850 Federal Census at Thomasville, GA, as follows: Edward 45, RI, merchant; Mary 46, Francis 23, Ann 18 (wife of Francis), Mary 13, Edward S. 9, and Mary (child of Francis & Ann) 4 months.

In 1860, E. Remington (Rimington), merchant age 55 RI, is living at Thomasville with his second wife Pat 30 RI, and infant daughter Mary 1 GA. Two individuals are boarding with them, including a Sheldon from RI (possibly John, age 20 -- unclear).

In the 1870 Federal Census they are still at Thomasville; Edward is 65 and Patience is 40; children in the household are Mary 12, Pardon 9, & William 7.

Chandler has Edward's year of birth as 1804, while RI genealogist Martha Benns has 1805 (RI Historical Society Library).

From the web site newenglandancestors.org:
"1805 REMINGTON Edward, h. Mary A. (Smith) of Pawtuxet, R.I. , ch. William and Patty or Martha (Adams), June 7, 1805 [? in Pawtuxet, R.I. ], P.R.28. Birth," recorded in records of Greenfield, MA (probably from a family Bible record of the Adams family).

From "Ante-bellum Thomas County 1825 - 1861" by William Warren Rogers, Chapter II, Town Life, p. 20: "Perhaps the most successful of the town's merchants was Edward Remington. A random listing of items he offered for sale included pianos, Negro goods, window and bed curtains, furniture, iron plow points, crockery and glassware, bagging and bale rope, sugar boilers, clothing for all ages, such as 'Ladies' Steel Extension Skirts from 8 to 36 hoops,' fans, jewelry, and hats. Within the broad category of groceries, Remington included candle wick, matches, sugar, raisins, soap, sardines, and coffee as well as apple and peach brandy, Holland gin, Monongahela whiskey, rectified whiskey, Madeira wine, and port wine." (this county history was originally published as Florida State University Studies, Number 39, Tallahasee, 1963)

One of Edward's business partners was Isaac Garland Jourdan, born in Jefferson County, GA, 25 March 25 1808, and died in Quitman on 21 August 1886. "He engaged in the mercantile business, in copartnership with the late Col. Edward Remington and others that were then well known in business circles." (excerpted from Jourdan's obituary, "The Thomasville Times," 11 Sept 1886, email from Chandler Smith Cheek)

Edward married Mary Arnold Smith Abt 4 Sep 1826, Pawtuxet Village, Warwick, RI.

Notes:

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]

Notes:

Perhaps Henry's middle name is Adams. His mother may have died in childbirth or shortly after Henry's birth -- but this is just speculation because I do not know Henry's exact date of birth.

Henry A. Remington who married Sally W. Reynolds was identified as "son of William." I am making an assumption that he is Henry A. Remington, son of this particular William Remington. Their birth dates seem about right for this marriage (see their ages at death, in the RI Death Index).

Henry A. is mentioned as a son in the 1852 will of William Remington.

His death record at Providence also identifies him as "son of William."

Henry married Sally W. Reynolds 7 May 1848, Warwick, RI. Sally (daughter of Thomas A. Reynolds and Charity Whitford) was born Abt 1826; died 24 Oct 1876, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The entry in the RI Death Index identifies Benjamin's parents as Daniel & Alice.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Benjamin N. & Eliza Remington are living at Cranston, RI. They have two young daughters -- Sarah F. & Mary A.

In 1860 the family is still in Cranston. B. N. & Eliza have four children: Sarah F., Mary, George H., & Edward E. Next door is Francis Larose and family -- probably Eliza's brother. He is also born in Canada.

In 1870, 1875, & 1880 they are in Providence. In 1880 three of their children are with them: Mary A., Edward E., & Philip K.

His middle name as Nelson came from familysearch.org

Benjamin married Eliza Larose 14 Oct 1847, Cranston, RI. Eliza was born Abt 1827, East Canada; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Some information on Frank's family came from Chandler Smith Cheek and Linda Poast.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Francis & Ann are a young married couple with a four-month-old baby, Mary, living with his parents and siblings at Thomasville, GA. In 1860 F. H. Remington is age 32 (b. RI) and his wife Ann is 30 (b. GA); their children are Mary, 7; S., 4; and F., 1. They are in Thomas County, GA. In 1870 they are still at Thomasville, with five of their children. It appears that the first Mary may have died young, and later another daughter was also named Mary. In 1880 Frank & Ann are still at Thomasville, and with them are Willie D., 17, & Gertrude, 18. Also in the household are daughter Mary E. Walthour and her son Frank R., 6.

Martha Adams Remington was named after her paternal grandmother, Martha "Pattey" Adams.

Martha ran a hotel called the Mitchell Hotel or Piney Wood Hotel. See notes below.

"In this large lot is also buried a woman of tremendous energy with a great and kindly heart. Back in Thomasville's great winter resort days, Martha Adams Remington, known then to Thomasville and to the world as "Mrs. Bowers" operated the Piney Woods Hotel in all of the sparkling glory at a time when Akin, SC, St. Augustine, FL, and Thomasville, GA were the great winter resorts of the Atlantic Seaboard. Miami, FL, then wasn't even a whisper as a winter resort. Martha Adams Remington married twice, first to Mr. Davies, and after his death to Dr. Peter S. Bower. Mrs. Bower operated the great hotel while her husband, Dr. Bower, ministered to the guests who had come down from the North on account of ailing health. And so it is fitting that Mrs. Bower, in her day one of the grand ladies of the South, should be buried in the Old Cemetery with gallant Confederate soldiers, and near the grave of her kindly husband, Dr. Peter S. Bower." (THE OLD CEMETERY by James B. Burch, from Thomasville Cultural Centers)

From the Georgia Genweb site, cemetery records (somewhat edited) from The Old Cemetery, Thomasville: Theodosius B. Davies, 15 June 1825 - 28 Jan 1859, h/o Martha Adams Remington, d/o Col. Edward Remington. Martha is said to be the first white child to have been born in this city after the town was formally incorporated. Martha Adams Remington Davies later married Dr. P. S. Bower. Dr. Bower was born 4 Dec 1833 died 19 Dec 1892.

Mary S. Remington's grave marker reads that she was born in Thomasville, Georgia, and died in Newnansville, Florida. It also notes that her parents were Edward Remington and Mary A. Remington. Beside her in the old Newnansville Methodist Cemetery are two infant grave markers for 1857 and 1859. She died just four days after the second child.

Mary's parents came from Rhode Island to Thomasville. Her father's (Edward 1803-1878) heritage is unknown, but her mother's (Mary A. Smith 1804-1856) line goes back to Captain Simeon Smith and Mary Sheldon from RI. Her siblings included: Edward S., Martha, and Francis Remington.

Mary grew up in Thomasville and attended the Fletcher Institute just south of town. She is listed as a teenager on the 1850 U. S. Census. Four years later she would marry another youngster, Lewis G. Pyles, who was also listed on the same census living in town. His parents were Samuel R. Pyles (1788-1837) from Glynn County, Georgia, and Charlotte Wynn (1793-1842) of Savannah, Georgia.

The two were married in Thomasville a day after her birthday in 1854. The exact date they moved to Newnansville is unknown. Their first child was Samuel R. Pyles, born in 1855 or 1856, who was named after Lewis's brother and father. Numerous Ancient Records of Alachua County provide a good timeline for Lewis because he represented Mary's father in his mercantile business in Newnansville.

Mary died within days of the death of her third child, leaving her only surviving son motherless. In 1860, the U. S. Census denotes Lewis G. Pyles as the Registrar in the Newnansville General Land Office. His son was also in his household. When the Civil War started, Lewis was elected as a Major in the 2nd Florida Infantry Regiment.

His Regiment participated in the Battle of Seven Pines and he was severally wounded. By then he had been promoted to Lt. Colonel and to Colonel, but was not able to fight anymore. He returned to Newnansville and was in a skirmish on the City of Gainesville.

Lewis died in Archer, Florida, in 1866, probably at the home of his sister, Charlotte Louise Pyles who had married George Helvenston. There is no marker known for his grave site in Newnansville or Archer.

Young Samuel R. Pyles was then an orphan with no male uncles in Florida. It appears that his maternal grandfather, Edward Remington, took his grandson to Thomasville to raise. He appears on records in the Thomasville area in 1876 and 1879 and then on the 1880 U. S. Census as a druggist. Between 1889 and 1893, he was living in Cincinnati, Ohio, and working for a railroad.

According to Alachua County Deed Book 35 records filed in 1891, he was married to Mary J. Pyles and living in Ohio. His cousin, William E. Davies, acting as the Administrator for their grandfather, was settling the lands that Edward Remington had accumulated in Alachua and Levy County, Florida.

The final years for Samuel R. and Mary J. Pyles are not known. Perhaps other cousins of the Remington-Davies-Smith line might know and be able to fill in this last mystery.

Mary married Lewis G. Pyles 19 Jul 1854, Thomas Co., GA. Lewis (son of Samuel R. Pyles and Charlotte Wynn) was born 1831, Newnansville, FL; died 18 Feb 1866, Archer, Alachua Co., FL; was buried , Newnansville, FL. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Edward was likely named after both his father and his uncle, Edward Seixas, who married his maternal aunt, Huldah Sheldon Smith.

Edward, born c.1841, appears to be in Brooks, GA, in the 1860 Federal Census. There he is listed E. S. Remington, age 19, b. GA, a merchant. The age agrees with this Edward. If it is indeed he, then his middle initial was S, and he was following in the professional footsteps of his (assumed) father.

He may also be this individual (info from GA Genweb site): "Remington, Edward S. -- Enlisted as a private in Company B, 8t. Regiment Georgia Infantry May 21, 1861. Transferred to Company A, 29th Regiment Georgia Infantry September 20, 1862. Becoming unfit for duty he was detailed sub-agent for collection of wool at Thomasville, Georgia, May 1, 1864. Paroled, Thomasville, Georgia, May 10, 1865."

In the 1870 Federal Census, Edward & Jane, both age 29, are living at Thomasville, Ga. Also with them is Nannie Livingston, age 9, two members of the Davis family, and the Butler family. I think Nannie may be Jane's child from a previous marriage (?).

Pardon, born in Georgia, later came to Rhode Island, and at the age of 18 in the 1880 Federal Census was living in Providence with James & Abby Hopkins.

The births of his first three children (at least) are recorded at Providence, RI.

In the 1900 Federal Census, Pardon, age 38, and his wife, age 42, and five children are living on Pitman Street in Providence, RI. According to the census data, Pardon was born in Oct 1861. His wife's name on the census record is difficult to read, and appears to be Loren S. or Lora S. or Susan S. (District 6, p. 13 in Ancestry's images). However, his wife at that time must have been Ida, who is recorded as the mother of his older children, and who is also with him in the later censuses. The 1920 Census finds Pardon & Ida at Boston, MA. He is 58 and she is 62.

On 11 April 1890, Pardon S. Remington and his wife Ida F. Remington signed a deed of conyeyance "for the purpose of releasing relinquishing renouncing and conveying any and all interest & title as well all right of dower in and to the land in said deed." This pertained to land that was part of Edward Remington's estate, and in effect gave all ownership rights to William E. Davies, grandson of Edward. The deed was executed and signed in Providence, RI, and also filed with the Alachua County Court, Florida.

I think he was probably one of the owners of a printing firm in Providence. Note the following from "History of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations", Biographical; NY: The American Historical Society, Inc., 1920, pp. 213 - 214: "John Edward Hurley, president of the Remington Printing Company (Remington Press), of No. 10 Abbott Park Place, Providence, R. I., one of the largest and most progressive printing firms in New England, was born September 26, 1860, at Providence . . . In the autumn of 1893 he associated himself with P. S. Remington and Frank M. Mason in the firm of P. S. Remington & Company, at No. 153 Dorrance Street, and in the spring of the following year purchased a one-third interest in the concern, which later moved to the Hanley building on Washington Street. The name of the firm was then changed to the Remington Printing Company (Remington Press) and was incorporated. Mr. Remington's interest was later acquired by Benjamin P. Moulton, and still later Mr. Mason's interest was purchased by Mr. Hurley and Mr. Moulton. In August, 1912, they moved to their present location in the Waite-Thresher building, No. 10 Abbott Park place, their plant covering a space of about 10,000 square feet."

Pardon married Ida F. Thurston 18 Jun 1884, Providence, RI. Ida (daughter of Stephen Y. Thurston and Mary L. Cook) was born Mar 1858, RI; died 27 Nov 1920. [Group Sheet]

Anne married Horace Merrill Horton 1 Jun 1865. Horace was born 27 May 1837, Pomeroy, OH. [Group Sheet]

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.

Mary married Columbia Downing 14 Oct 1875, OH. Columbia was born Abt 1845, OH. [Group Sheet]

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]
