Merton C. Remington

Notes:

In the 1900 Federal Census, Merton (?) and Alice Remington are living at Clay, Clay Co. IA. They have been married 5 years. Census data says his parents were born in NY/PA, which is correct.

In 1910 & 1920, Merton C. & Alice I. Remington, both aged 39/49, are still living at Clay, IA. Living with them is adopted daughter Irma Hill (probably a niece).

In 1930 Merton & Alice are still living at Clay, IA.

Merton married Alice I. Unknown Abt 1895. Alice was born Dec 1870, IA; died Aft Apr 1930. [Group Sheet]

In the 1850 Federal Census, his name appears to be written as Truman.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Solomon appears to be the individual of that name living at Oswego, Oswego Co., NY. His age is given as 39, which is correct for him. The head of household is Isaac Remington, age 62; both are born VT. Also in the home are the following (not listed in this order): Mary 38, Huldah 27, Joseph 20, Wealthy 11, Truman 8, Irving 3, & Eveline 1.

In the 1860 Federal Census, Solomon Remington and family are living at Clay, Jones Co., IA. His second wife, Fanny, is age 30; four of his children and one of hers by her previous marriage are in the household.

In 1870 Solom Remington, 60, and his wife Fannie, 40, are living at Webster, Webster Co., IA.

In 1880 Solomon & Fannie A. are 69 & 49, still at Webster. Son Erving O., age 31, is with them.

Solomon married Mary Margaret Ostrander 4 Oct 1836. Mary (daughter of Henry G. Ostrander and Hannah Eliza Unknown) was born 2 Aug 1817, NY; died 29 Jul 1854. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Another genealogy has her dob as 8 Sep 1817.

Cyrus — Clarissa H. Unknown. Clarissa was born Abt 1818, NY. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Isaac is age 62, living at Oswego, Oswego Co., NY. With him is son Solomon and his family, as well as Huldah & Joseph, probably two more of his children. Living two doors down are Nathan & Rhoda Remington; I am making an assumption that Nathan is another son in this family.

Pat Boyden's genealogy has Isaac's date of death as 11 Nov 1860. However, I have not been able to locate him anywhere in the 1860 census. (This needs more research to confirm.)

Isaac & Huldah also may have had two additional daughters, named Sarah & Betsy (per notes sent by Charles Norman Hill).

Follow-up to above note: I have found a couple in the 1850 census, named Oliver & Sarah Morgan. From her daughter Brintha's gravestone inscription, I know that Sarah's maiden name is Remington. Therefore, I am including Sarah as a daughter in this family group (needs further research to confirm).

Isaac married Huldah Doty Abt 2 Dec 1809, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. Huldah (daughter of Jorathmiel Doty and Sarah Look) was born Abt 15 Apr 1789, Rochester, Plymouth Co., MA; died 1849, South Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

One Doty genealogy says Huldah was born in 1787.
