  • Notes 
    • His middle name may have been Elmer or Elmore.

      Virgilius Remington is in the 1830 census at Fowler, Trumbull Co., Ohio.

      Virgilious was the sheriff of Carthage, Illinois, during the time when Mormons Joseph Smith and his brother were killed. Later, Virgil went to California during the 1849 Gold Rush. Perhaps that is why he is not at home in Illinois in the 1850 Federal Census.

      In 1850 he is living at Kelsey, Eldorado Co., CA. He is listed as age 48, b MA.

      From Don Schmidt: "I have corresponded with two distant Remington cousins from Canada who are descended from Virgilius Remington. They had a copy of a life story written by one of Virgilius Remington
