Robert Remington

Notes:

In the Federal Census of 1930, Benjamin is married to Anita and still living at Stockton, San Joaquin Co., CA, He is the proprietor of an auto garage.

I have made an assumption that this record is for him:
Ben Remington
Last Residence: 95205 Stockton, San Joaquin, California, United States of America
Born: 8 Oct 1890
Died: Aug 1976
State (Year) SSN issued: California (1959 )

Benjamin married Anita Maud Snell 3 Aug 1921, Oakland, Alameda Co., CA; divorced bef. 1 Apr 1940. Anita was born 29 Sep 1889, CA; died 10 Jul 1965, Stockton, CA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the Federal Censuses of 1900 and 1910, Benjamin L. & Lucinda M. (Maria) Remington are living at Castoria, San Joaquin Co., CA. In 1910 they are ages 47 & 46. According to census data, they have been married 20 years. They have three children: Benjamin L. 19, Irene V. 16, & Reuel R.

In the 1920 and 1930 censuses, Lucinda is Laurinda, so I am assuming this is her name.

Benjamin married Laurinda Maria Shedd Abt 1890. Laurinda (daughter of Alvin Shedd) was born Abt 1864, CA; died 1939, CA; was buried , Union Memorial Cemetery, Manteca CA. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1920 Federal Census, Laurinda M. Remington, age 56, is a widow living at Stockton, San Joaquin Co., CA. Sons Benjamin and Reuel, ages 29 & 24, are still with her; they have an auto business.

In 1930, Laurinda is age 67, still living at Stockton. With her is a roomer, Eva, aged 40.

Notes:

In the 1860 Federal Census, listed at Little York, Nevada Co., CA, are the following: J. C. Remington 38 RI, Caleb Remington 34 MA, B. L. Remington 32 MA, and C. W. Remington 26 RI. These are most likely the four brothers in this family. They are miners.

In the 1870 Federal Census, Benjamin & Sarah are living with his mother and family at Johnston, Providence Co., RI. They have three children, but from their ages, it appears that they are from his first wife.

From Roger Remington:
"We were only aware of two brothers that came to California to mine. They were in an area up in the hills north east of Sacramento. N. Of interstate 80 near Colfax, CA.
There is still a Remington Hill Rd. near one of their claims. We know that Ben 1 came down to our area, but didn't know of the route of the other.
I found 'some' reference to the Remington mining moving into Nevada. There is a bit of confusion when you look at it, because their claims were in Nevada COUNTY, CA.
But they may have relocated into Nevada STATE. My uncle (Robert Remington, 2nd son of Ben III) has long since passed, but he did most of the research on this end, so far.

Benjamin married Mary Elizabeth Fisher 12 Jan 1862. [Group Sheet]
