Lucy Frances Remington

Notes:

I found a marriage index listing her marriage to John Wesley Morrison on 9 Feb 1896.

Lucy — Amos Sowles. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the Federal Census of 1870, Edgar A. Remington is age 22, living at Hersey, Osceola Co., MI, with his married brother William and wife.

In 1900, Edgar and Anna Remington are still living at Hersey. They have three children: Edwin, Mary, and Clyde.

In Feb 1920, Edgar A. 72 and Anna 65 are at Nooksack, Whatcom Co., WA. However, in the same census in January they are listed as living with daughter Mary Johansen and family in Seattle.

Edgar married Sarah Anna Waite Abt 1872, MI. Sarah was born May 1856, Canada; died Aft Feb 1920. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I was not sure if William belonged in this family group, but Nancy Olejniczak provided information that confirmed it as fact, including date of death and name of father in the death record. Email message dated 20 Oct 2017 from Nancy Olejniczak: "In your tree there is a William Remington, suspected son of Stephen Remington. I just located a Michigan Death record for him on Family Search which gives his father's name as Stephen Remington."

One family tree has his name as William T. Remington, born 21 Aug 1821, Onondaga Co., NY.

The death record at Hersey, Osceola, MI says he died in NY, a widower age 71.

In the Federal Census of 1850, William & Caroline, ages 29 & 24, are living at Geddes, Onondaga Co., NY. They have three young children. In the same town are Stephen & Jane Remington.

In the Federal Census of 1860, William is at Camillus, Onondaga Co., NY. His wife is named Elizabeth -- not Caroline -- but she is still from PA and with approximately the same birth year as Caroline in the previous census. Perhaps she goes by both names. Or, she could be a second wife. Their ages are given as 37 & 37. They have six children.

In 1870 they are at Lysander, Onondaga Co., NY. William is 52 and Elizabeth is 48. There are two children in the household, Francis 17 and George M. 7.

William married Caroline Elizabeth Stocker Abt 1843, NY. Caroline (daughter of Benjamin Stocker) was born Abt 1826, PA; died 11 Apr 1888. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I am not sure if Caroline and Elizabeth are two individuals or one wife.

Notes:

"Stephen, son of Joshua, baptized 4 July 1772" (Abington, MA VRs). The name of Joshua's wife is not mentioned in this record. From the notation in the records, it may have been customary to name only the father in the baptismal record.

Stephen's name is listed with this family on a chart drawn up by Lois Remington Smith of San Jose, CA. His name and birth date also appear on an online genealogy by Ann M. Mcallister.

I have made an assumption that this is the Stephen Remington who married Thankful Hill and that their children belong here on this family tree. This is based largely on birth places and locations of subsequent generations of assumed cousins.

Researcher Pat Boyden has come to the same conclusion; quote: "Speculation is that Stephen and his brother Joseph B. Remington went to Rutland, VT. He named a son Orange born 1801 and Joseph B. named a son Orange B. in 1810."

He is likely the Stephen Remington listed in the Federal Census of 1810 at Wallingford, Rutland, VT: 2 FWM<10, 2 FWM 10-15, 1 FWM 26-44, 4 FWF<10, 2 FWF 16-25, 1 FWF 25-44; total 12. Also, Joseph & Joshua Remington, likely his brothers, are listed in the same town.

This family needs more research to confirm that Thankful Hill belongs here, as well as this couple's descendants.

In summary, concerning Stephen Remington who married Thankful Hill: I am not sure of the identity of this Stephen's parents, but placing the marriage here with this particular Stephen (see baptismal note above) is one theory. Here is some additional info: Joshua & Ruth's son Uriah lived in Rutland Co., VT before moving to Delaware Co., NY; their son Joshua died in Chittenden Co., VT, but Joshua's children were born in Rutland Co., VT; son Joseph went to Warren Co., NY; son Jonathan married a girl from Rutland Co., VT, and had children there. These may be important clues relating to Stephen (who is said to have been born c 1770 in Rutland, VT). In other words, while the births of the children were recorded at Abington, MA, there is clearly a connection with Rutland, VT. Alternatively, Stephen (who married Thankful) could be a son of Thomas Remington & Rachel Stowell; two of their sons migrated to VT. However, I think their son Stephen was probably born in MA, too. But he also would be of the correct time frame. The name Ruth among the children of Stephen & Thankful may be a clue, although certainly not proof, that he belongs to Joshua & Ruth.

"Stephen Remington was born about 1770 in Rutland, VT and died about 1830 Town of Camillus, Onondaga County, NY on the place now owned by Henry Dow. Buried in Belle Isle Cemetary. Stephen married Thankful Hill about 1790, possibly born in Rutland, died in 1816 when youngest son was born." (source: John Anderson, posting at Remington message board, Rootsweb.com)

Stephen Remington is on the list of insolvent debtors at Camillus, Onondaga Co., NY, in 1818.

Stephen married Thankful Hill Abt 1790. Thankful was born Abt 1772; died Between 1815 and 1821. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

I have made an assumption that Thankful Hill belongs here on this family tree, married to this particular Stephen. This is based on locations of subsequent generations of assumed cousins.

One genealogy says she died during the birth of the youngest son, William.
