Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Joseph Edmunds was born 23 Mar 1780, Cheshire, Berkshire Co., MA; died 6 Feb 1859, Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY; was buried , Joseph Remington Farm, Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY.

    Notes:

    This family is from MA, but appears in the 1820 census in Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY.

    In 1840, the household of J. Edmunds at Brutus is as follows: free white males 2 age 10-14, 1 age 15-19, 1 age 20-29, and 1 age 60-69; free white females 1 age 10-14, 1 age 15-19, 1 age 20-29, and 1 age 50-59.

    Two of the youngest children would be William and Martha; the two other young females must be Mary and Sylvia; and of course the adults are the parents.

    I don't know who the other three boys are -- they could be unknown children, grandchildren, hired help, or foster children.

    In 1850, the household is as follows: Joseph Edmunds 70 MA, Susanna 67 MA, William 22 NY, Martha 20 NY; also Erastus Griswold 19, and Martha Cresson (?) 14.

    In the DETROIT SOCIETY FOR GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH MAGAZINE (date unknown), on p. 88 the following appears: "PRIVATE CEMETERY ON JOSEPH REMINGTON FARM, east and north of Sennett, in Brutus township, Cayuga County, New York.

  4. 5.  Susanna Edmunds Descendancy chart to this point (1.Joseph1) was born 28 Oct 1812.

  5. 6.  Edward Edmunds Descendancy chart to this point (1.Joseph1) was born 5 May 1815, Sennett, Cayuga Co., NY; died 2 Jun 1900, Boston, Suffolk Co., MA.

    Notes:

    Edward was a clergyman. His death record gives his birthplace as Sennet, NY, and the birthplace of his parents as Adams, MA. No parents are named.

    He settled in Boston, MA; census records show him living in Boston from 1850 to 1900.

    One Boston directory has him listed as pastor of the First Christian Church.

    Edward married Mary S. Slade Bef 1 Jun 1850. Mary (daughter of Edward Slade and Mary Davis) was born 1818, MA; died 10 Feb 1897, MA. [Group Sheet]

    Children:

  6. 7.  Joseph Edmunds Descendancy chart to this point (1.Joseph1) was born 7 Apr 1820; died 18 Jul 1822; was buried , Joseph Remington Farm, Brutus, Cayuga Co., NY.

  7. 8.  Mary Edmunds Descendancy chart to this point (1.Joseph1) was born Abt 1823, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1880.

    Notes:

    I am guessing she is daughter of Joseph and Susanna Edmunds -- pieced together from census records and burial information.

    I am making an assumption that Mary is sister of Sylvia Edmunds who married Philander Remington. I conjecture they may be daughters of Joseph and Susanna Edmunds. I am going to make an educated guess that they are in this family group, based on census data from 1840 showing a free white female age 15-19 and and other age 20-29. The youngest girl age 10-14 would be Martha, with them in 1850.

    See data below about other family members.

    In the DETROIT SOCIETY FOR GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH MAGAZINE (date unknown), on p. 88 the following appears: "PRIVATE CEMETERY ON JOSEPH REMINGTON FARM, east and north of Sennett, in Brutus township, Cayuga County, New York.
    EDMUNDS, Joseph d. Feb. 6, 1859; ae. 78 yrs, 10 mos, 14 d;

    Joseph, son of Joseph & Susanna, d. July 18, 1822, ae. 2 yrs 3 mos 11 d

    See notes for Sylvia Edmunds, wife of Philander; they had a son Joseph.

    Mary married Joseph Martin Remington Abt 1843. Joseph (son of Mills Remington and Maria Warner) was born 16 Feb 1822, Sennett, Cayuga Co., NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

    4. 16. Joseph M. Remington  Descendancy chart to this point was born Dec 1857, IL; died Aft 1905.

  8. 9.  Sylvia Edmunds Descendancy chart to this point (1.Joseph1) was born Nov 1825; died 1908; was buried , Old Sennett Cemetery, Cayuga Co., NY.

    Notes:

    I believe Sylvia is sister of Mary Edmunds who married Joseph Martin Remington. I think they are daughters of Joseph and Susanna Edmunds. I am going to make an educated guess that they are in this family group, based on census data from 1840 showing a free white female age 15-19 and and other age 20-29. The youngest girl age 10-14 would be Martha, with them in 1850.

    In 1880, Sylvia Remington gives MA as birthplace of both parents. In that census, she is a widow keeping house age 54; son Joseph E. is age 34, farmer at home.

    In 1900, Sylvia is age 74: son Joseph E. is head of the household, single and age 54; her four young adult Sheldon grandchildren are in the home; their mother died under suspicious circumstances and their father was incarcerated and killed himself.
