  1. 1.  Silas Remington, Jr. was born 10 Jun 1807, Rupert, Bennington Co., VT (son of Silas Remington, Sr. and Betsey Ross Geer); died 21 May 1882, Mumford, Monroe Co., NY.

    Notes:

    In the 1850 Federal Census, Silas & Louisa ("Lovica") are living at Wheatland, Monroe Co., NY, with their children Sarah 17 & Silas H. 10. Silas, age 44 b. VT, is a manufacturer, and his property is valued at $600. They are living a few doors down from his brother William and family. Next door is Jerusha Allen and her family; I believe she is a sister of William and Silas.

    In 1860 the family is still at Wheatland: Silas 52 VT woolen manufacturer, Lovica 53 NY weaver, Sarah E. 27 NY teacher, and Silas H. 19 laborer.

    In the Federal Census of 1870, "Sylas" & "Lavina" both aged 63 are still living at Wheatland, NY. With them is Elvira, 21.

    Some information on Silas, including his dob, birthplace, marriage, and children, came from a descendant, Thomas Frederick Remington III. This information was compiled by Thomas from a family Bible in the possession of Carolyn Kelly as of 15 August 2003.

    Silas married Lovica "Louisa" Hovey 17 Jun 1830. Lovica was born 13 Nov 1806, Lima, Livingston Co., NY; died 24 Apr 1880, Mumford, Monroe Co., NY. [Group Sheet]

    Children:
    1. Sarah E. Remington was born 24 Oct 1832, Scottsville, Monroe Co., NY; died 31 Mar 1861, Mumford, Monroe Co., NY.
    2. Silas Hiram Remington was born 15 Jan 1841, Wheatland, Monroe Co., NY; died 28 Dec 1918, Hornell, Steuben Co., NY; was buried , St. Ann's Cemetery, Hornell, NY.

  1. 2.  Silas Remington, Sr. was born 25 Feb 1776, Suffield, Hartford, CT (son of Thomas Remington and Mary Remington); died 29 Jun 1818, Canandaigua, Ontario Co., NY; was buried , Hunn Memorial Cemetery, Canandaigua, NY.

    Notes:

    On 28 Nov 1793, John Kittridge of Chesterfield, MA, was appointed guardian of Silas Remington, aged 17 years, of Suffield, CT. Silas is probably the Silas Remmington in the 1800 census at Rupert, VT, along with his brother Thomas. Both of these brothers had sons named Silas, born in VT.

    Vermont Gazette, 10 February 1806; Bennington, Vermont: "Silas Remington of Reupert [sic.], is now confined to Bennington jail, on execution of a judgement in favor of Samuel Dinsmer of Rupert. He is to show cause why petitioner should not be allowed to take the oath prescribed by law for the relief of prisoners."

    Federal Census of 1810 lists Silas Remington at Rupert, along with Thomas.

    From "STATE OF VERMONT ROSTER OF SOLDIERS IN THE WAR OF 1812-14," prepared and published under the direction of Herbert T. Johnson, 1933, page 351: "Silas Remington, Surgeon's Mate, Rupert, Bennington Co., Vt. Served in Capt. Hopkins' Company, Col. Martindale's Regt. Detached Militia in U.S. service 2 months and 13 days, 1812. Served from June 15, 1814 to June 19, 1815 in Capt. Taylor's Company, 30th Inf. Pension Certificate of widow, Margaret, No. 39717."

    Is Betsey the same wife as Margaret? See notes for Betsey.

    Silas married Betsey Ross Geer Abt Dec 1793. Betsey (daughter of Elijah Geer and Elizabeth Margaret Ross) was born 7 Sep 1774, NY; died 1863, NY. [Group Sheet]


  2. 3.  Betsey Ross Geer was born 7 Sep 1774, NY (daughter of Elijah Geer and Elizabeth Margaret Ross); died 1863, NY.

    Notes:

    Her surname may have been Greer. Elsewhere her middle name is given as Rose. The name of her mother as Elizabeth Margaret Ross came from Tom Lavery's data at Rootsweb's Worldconnect.

    See notes for Silas, in which pension mentions wife as Margaret.

    Paul Remington's online genealogy says this couple had only two daughters.

    Betsey is said to be of Chesterfield, CT, in "Landmarks of Monroe County, NY" by William F. Peck (1895), Part III, p. 80 - 81.

    Notes:

    Boyd Scott Remington's Remington Ancestry Chart at RIHSL has Daniel's date of birth as 18 Feb 1706.

    The Suffield records show a birth to a son of Daniell & Sarah Remington: Abijah, who died at about 14 months on 8 July, no year given.

    He may be the Daniel Remington of Suffield who later married Mrs. Susannah Bush, widow, in 1770, as her fourth husband.
