| 153 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to Lois Sorensen, Remington family researcher and compiler, and/or to other sources as noted herein.) Eliphalet & Elizabeth moved to Litchfield, Herkimer County, NY, in 1799; they built a stone house, Crane's Corner, then "The Forge" on Steele Corner, "The Gulph" or "Gulch" in 1807 (see Boyd Scott Remington's ancestry chart). Eliphalet was killed in a wagon accident in 1828. (see "The Remington Historical Treasury of American Guns" by Harold L. Peterson, New York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1966, p. 29) | Remington, Eliphalet I (I03480)

| 155 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to Lois Sorensen, Remington family researcher and compiler, and/or to other sources as noted herein.) Philo resided most of his life in Ilion, NY. He and Caroline are living there in the 1880 Federal Census (Village of Ilion, German Flats, Herkimer County, NY). He headed the mechanical department at the Remington Arms Company, and perfected breach loading. He is also famous for his typewriter, first produced at the arms company, then at the Remington Typewriter Company in Ilion, NY. The Remington Standard 2 was the archetypal typewriter, first produced in 1878.

| 156 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher, and/or to other sources as noted herein.) I am not positive that Jonathan belongs in this family group. However, the weight of evidence supports including him here. On 16 November 1832, at Warwick, RI, Jonathan Remington & Benjamin F. Remington, both yeomen of Warwick, signed a deed which acknowledged receipt of $600 from John B. Arnold, yeoman of Warwick, for "land with dwelling thereon situated in Warwick, in the village of Centerville." Also signing the deed were Mary Ann A. Remington, wife of Jonathan, and Sarah A. Remington, wife of Benjamin. This document implies that Jonathan & Benjamin were close relatives. The Remington family burial plot, near the corner of Cowesett Rd. & Quaker Lane, has four gravestones for children of Jonathan & Mary Ann A. Remington. These are located near the graves of Elizabeth (Earl) Remington and the other three wives of Benjamin Remington, who was the father of Thomas and grandfather of the above-mentioned Benjamin F. Remington. Jonathan certainly must have been in this extended family because four of his children are buried here on the Remington farm. Jonathan is a name that appears repeatedly in this family line. For example, our ancestor Jonathan was one of the sons of Thomas & Abigail (Eldredge) Remington. The Benjamin mentioned above, who married four times, is his brother, who also named a son Jonathan. Two of Benjamin's other sons, James & Thomas, brothers to Jonathan, also had sons named Jonathan. To complicate things a bit, Benjamin's son Thomas Remington married Betsey Remington, daughter of Jonathan Remington, who is in all likelihood the brother of Jonathan, making Thomas & Betsey first cousins. Betsey may have been raised by her Uncle Ben after her mother died. Genealogist Martha Benns lists Jonathan Monroe Remington b. c1825 as a son of Thomas & Elizabeth. However, she includes no documentation, and I have found no birth record for this Jonathan. Rather, I believe their son Jonathan must be the one mentioned in the deed of 16 Nov 1832, who signed along with Benjamin, and their two wives. According to census records, he was born around 1809 or 1810. In the 1850 Federal Census, Jonathan & Mary A. A. Remington are living at Smithfield, RI. They have three children: Albert, William, & Edwin A. By 1860 they are in Illinois, where they are in the census at Tiskilwa, Bureau Co., IL. Son Edwin is with them. In 1880 Mary is at Indiantown, Bureau Co., IL, apparently widowed. Edwin is with her. In 1870 sons Albert and Edwin are in Iowa. Pat Rosenquist originally found Jonathan & Mary in that census for me: "1870 Indiantown Twp. I find them living with the first: Haskell, Delecta, 67 MA keeps house; John Remington 60 MA, does nothing; Mary Remington 67 NY keeps house." Complicating this research of the various Jonathans is the following erroneous death entry at Warwick City Hall: "Jonathan Monroe Remington d. Oct 9, 1885 age 68 son of Thomas & Elizabeth"; however, the RI Death Index has this exact age and date of death for Jonathan M. Remington, son of James & Sally Remington. Which one is authoritative? I believe the Warwick records are incorrect in this case, and that that particular death record belongs to the son of James & Sally. My reason for this conclusion is that Jonathan M.'s age at death puts his birth year at c1817, which agrees with the birth date of Johnathan M. Remington, s/o James & Sally, as found in the family Bible of William R. Remington. Perhaps the city clerk was confused or misinformed about which of the Jonathans had died. Two other possibilities that I can see are as follows: this Jonathan, b. c1810, may have been a son of Jonathan & Ardeliza (Rice), born before their marriage in 1811; or, he could have been an illegitimate son of Lydia Remington, daughter of Benjamin & Lydia (Manchester) Remington, before she married Olney Rice Arnold. These do not seem as reasonable as including him as the next younger brother to Benjamin F. (thereby discounting a birthdate of c1825, from Benns). One more question remains: which one married Phebe A. Cleveland b. 3 Oct 1833? At first I thought it could have been either one. Martha Benns puts Phebe with Jonathan Monroe Remington (whom she has b1825 as a son of Thomas & Betsey). I know that Phebe and her husband Jonathan Remington had at least one child, born 28 April 1861 in West Greenwich. Named Charles E. Remington, he was their first child (see p. 11, book of "Births" for 1857-1905). The original entry identifies the mother as Phebe M. Cleavland, born in West Greenwich, and the father as Jonathan Remington, born in Warwick. The various census records show Phebe's husband as being born c1817, so I feel he must be the other one, s/o James & Sally, rather than the son of Thomas & Betsey. | Remington, Jonathan (I02189)

| 157 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher, and/or to other sources as noted herein.) I am not sure that Thomas belongs with these parents. However, the Remington Ancestry Chart by Boyd Scott Remington shows him here, and in the absence of other evidence, I am likewise placing him here, pending further research. See notes for his assumed father, Daniel. Additional support for this comes from "Genealogical and Family History of Western New York" by William Richard Cutter (New York: Lewis Historical Pub. Co., 1912), p. 978: "Thomas Remington, grandson of John Remington, the pioneer in this country, settled at Hingham, MA, and married there, March 16, 1687, Remember, daughter of Samuel & Mary (Farrow) Stowell." However, "New England Families" Vol. 1, Genealogies and Memorials, p. 381, says this Thomas was "son of Thomas." Since he wasn't Thomas II (who married Mehitable Walker), and certainly wasn't a son of Thomas II (since his son Thomas lived 1659 - 1683, and died in CT), which Thomas could he have been a son of? Either there was another Thomas Remington who immigrated from England, or else it is an error. The only known son of John whose son Thomas could have been, is Daniel, as far as my records show (limitations acknowleged). Many of the early immigration records and town records have been destroyed by fire, so it may be impossible to determine the facts in some of these cases. In summary, it has not been proven that this Thomas is a descendant of the first Remington immigrant, John; however, it is a reasonable assumption. If he is not a direct descendant, he is very likely a close relative, having come with the same surname to precisely the same geographical area as the other Remingtons. Pat Boyden's genealogy has a birthdate of 15 July 1659 - no source noted. However, I know that this is the birth date of the Thomas Jr. who died at Suffield, CT, in 1683. But, Thomas & Remember had children after that date. Could the date of death recorded at Suffield, CT, be incorrect? The Suffield Historical Society has no marriage for Thomas Jr. in CT, and they have his date of death as 1683. No further information seems to be available. Therefore, it seems reasonable to believe that these are two different Thomases. Thomas Remington appears in the records of Hingham, MA, for four or five years, approximately 1687/8 - 1694 (source: "A Remington Family History" by Lois Remington Smith, p. A-6). Lois Remington Smith also mentions that Peter Hobart was pastor of the Old Meeting House in Hingham, which is said to be the oldest church in the US in continuous use as a house of worship (p. 3). The names Jael & Joshua were common in his family, so it is of interest to see them in this Remington family. A discussion of Thomas's parentage is found in the above-mentioned source by Smith, pp. 1 and A-6. Among other issues, Smith raises the possibility that this Thomas may be one and the same as Thomas Remington b 4 Feb 1655/56 of RI, who married Mary Allen. However, this is impossible, because Mary Allen is named as Marie Remington in her father's will of 1685; also, his will names all the children. A key question is, what became of Thomas after he was widowed in 1694? | Remington, Thomas (I03458)

| 158 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein. Some of the information on this family came from Lois Remington Smith in "A Remington Family History.") Joshua Remington, Sr. was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. The family moved from Abington, MA, to Cummington, MA, sometime between 1772 and 1776. Joshua's three lots in northwest Cummington are in the area known as Remington's Hill (also called Bryant Mt., after the poet William Cullen Bryant who was born in Cummington). In 1780 there was a controversy concerning Joshua Remington in the local church, in which his name appears in the church records quite a bit. Among other accusations was that he was causing schisms in the church by his charges against the pastor. Joshua and family are in the 1800 census, but not the 1810. His son Benjamin was appointed Administrator of Joshua's estate on 15 Oct 1811 (Probate records of Northampton, Hampshire Co., MA). Lois Remington Smith has noted his date of death as Sep 1811. | Remington, Joshua (2) II (I07667)
|
| 159 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.) He may be the Benjamin Remington, Jr., of Savoy who on 16 Apr 1836 had his name legally changed to Benjamin Franklin Remington. (I believe this is correct because he is named as Benj F. in his son Henry's marriage record.) It should be noted that John Remington of nearby North Adams, MA, also had a son named Benjamin Franklin Remington b1799. This Ben, Jr., may also be the Benjamin Franklin Remington who served the Baptist church in Savoy, as well as several others in Franklin County, as a Baptist minister from 1820 to 1855 (see p. 17 of the Remington genealogy compiled by Lois Remington Smith). For the present time, I am making an assumption that the census data for Benjamin & Lydia Remington, living in Savoy, MA, in the 1850 and 1860 censuses pertains to this particular Benjamin. In 1850 it appears that this family is living near Aaron & James Remington and their families, and their father Benjamin. It makes sense that this is their brother. The dates match, also. In 1850 Benjamin Remington is 50 and Lydia is 48. They have four children: Andrew 18, Ellen 16, Emma 13, & Franklin 10. I think their ages may not be precise, based on other evidence. In 1860 Benjamin F. Remington is 60 and Lydia is 57. Son Franklin B. is with them, age 15; as well as Martha J. Cowen, 34, tailoress. Note: Other than the four children found in the 1850 census, the names and dates for these children came from Pat Boyden's Remington genealogy, and have not as yet been verified by me. | Remington, Benjamin F. (I11309)
|
| 160 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.) His name may have been Isaac Nathan. I have made an assumption that Nathan belongs in this family group, because in the 1850 Federal Census he and Rhoda are living a few doors down from Isaac, Solomon, and other siblings at Oswego, Oswego Co., NY. Nathan is age 27 and Rhoda is 20. They are cousins. In the 1860 Federal Census, Nathan & Rhoda Remington are living at Diana, Lewis Co., NY. He is 35 VT and she is 26 VT. They have a daughter Emma, age 6 (see note below). They are near Nathan's cousin Amos Remington and family. In the 1870 Federal Census, Nathan & Rhoda are 47 VT & 39 VT, living at Webster, Hamilton Co., IA. In the household are two young people -- Emma Waldworth, 16, & Jonathan Bowhall, 10. Jonathan is Rhoda's orphaned nephew. Could this be the same Emma that is with them in 1860 (the age is right)? If so, she may be adopted or a foster child. In 1880, I. N. & Rhody Remington are ages 50 & 45, still living in Webster City, Hamilton Co., IA. | Remington, Nathan (I18288)
|
| 161 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.) I am making an assumption that the Stephen Remington of the correct age in the 1850, 1870, and 1880 census records is this same individual. Consequently, I have entered the family group information for him, based on the census data (needs more research to confirm). In 1850, Stephen Remington is age 15, living with his uncle Orange Remington and his wife Lucy, in the household of Lucy's parents, John & Nancy Thompson. They are at Jericho, Chittenden Co., VT. In the 1870 Federal Census, Stephen and his family are at Cambridge, Lamoille Co., VT. In 1880, they are at Lindina, Juneau Co., WI. They must have moved to Wisconsin before the birth of Fred, who was born c1873. In 1880 there are three children in the family: Carrie E. 14, Willie S. 12, & Fred A. (or W?) 7. All were b VT, except Fred b WI. | Remington, Stephen (I13277)
|
| 162 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.) I am making an assumption that William is a son of Joseph, because he & Almira are living with Joseph in the 1850 Federal Census at Chester, Warren Co., NY (needs more research). They are next door to (presumed) brother Jeremiah and family. In 1870 there is a William Remington, age 52, living at Queensbury, Warren Co., NY, with wife Charlotte, 36, and three children. It says he was born in NY. This may be a second marriage for this particular William, although the occupation has changed from farmer to lawyer. (needs more research) | Remington, William (I13352)
|
| 163 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.) I have made an assumption that Orange is a son of Justus, based on the following census information. In the 1850 Federal Census, Orange is age 10 and living at Bolton, Warren Co., NY, with Susanna Davis, age 73, and other members of the Davis family. I think the two Davis wives nearby are his aunts, Esther & Ann (Remington) Davis. Also there is Mary Remington, age 14, who I am assuming is Orange's sister. In 1860 Orange is age 20, living with Justus B. Remington and family at Schroon, Essex Co., NY. Also there is Joshua Remington, presumably Orange's grandfather. In 1870 Orange is 29 and married to Sarah, age 33. They have a son, Henry F., age 3, and are still living at Schroon, near Justus & Eliza. In 1880 they are still at Schroon. Orange is 45, and his wife, called Jane, is 41. They have three children: Henry 13, Cora 7, & Mary 10 (adopted). In 1900 Orange & Sarah J. Remington are living at 22 Morton St., Glens Falls, NY. The census gives their birth dates as Jul 1856 & May 1850, but those are undoubtedly incorrect. In 1910 Orange & Sarah Remington are ages 70 & 72, living at 14 Morton St., Glens Falls, Warren Co., NY. They are living with married son Henry and his wife Anna and their three children: Orange, Sarah, & Bertha. According to the census data, Orange & Sarah have had four children, one of whom is still living. In 1920 Orange & Sarah J. are ages 79 & 82. They are still living at 14 Morton St. Also in the household are their son Henry 52 , his wife Anna 42, and their daughter Bertha 19; also their married daughter Sarah Allen and her husband Herbert, and their two young children. According to the data in some censuses, both of Orange's parents were born in NY. However, the 1920 census says they were born in VT. In the 1930 Federal Census, Orange is listed as "Orin." He is widowed, age 89, and living with son Henry and daughter-in-law Anna on Wilmot Street, Glens Falls (Queensbury), Warren Co., NY. From a posting by Valorie Sherman, Remington Message Board at genealogy.com: "Orange, a Civil War veteran, enlisted in 1862; was living with his grandmother Susannah Rounds Davis on 1855 census, Bolton, Warren, New York." The following obituary is courtesy of Valorie Sherman: The Glens Falls Post Star , 11 Apr 1932 "Orange Remington, 91, a Civil War veteran, died Saturday morning at the home of his son; Henry Remington, 18 Wilmot Street. Besides the son mentioned, Mr. Remington is survived by two grandchildren, Mrs. Bernard Oddy, and Mrs. Herbert Allen, and 13 great grandchildren. "Mr. Remington served for three years in the Civil War, and was a member of the E. M. Wing post, 147, G. A. R., having the distinction of being the oldest living member at the time of his death. He enlisted as a Private on August 11, 1862, at the age of 22, and was assigned to Company D, 118th Regiment, New York Infantry, receiving his discharge on May 29, 1865, at Richmond, Va. "Funeral services will be conducted at 1 o'clock this afternoon at the home by the Rev. A. J. Allen, pastor of the Wesleyan Methodist Church. Burial will be in the Leggett Cemetery, Chestertown." | Remington, Orange (I18254)
|
| 164 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.) In 1850, Loyal is age 19, a laborer living in Starksborough, Addison Co., VT. He is also listed again in the same town with his parents and siblings as age 18 (my assumption that this is the same individual). In 1860 he is married to Sarah, and they are living in Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT. In 1870 they are at Williston, Chittenden Co., VT; their children Orvis 9, & Martha 8, are in the home. In 1880 they are living in Westford, Chittenden Co., VT. Their children are Orvis 19, Martha 11, & Fred 4. In the 1900 Federal Census, Loyal Remington is age 69 and widowed, living at Essex, Chittenden Co., VT, with his son Orvis and family. In 1910 he is still there, age 81. Loyal was in the Civil War, enlisting at Essex, VT, as a Private in the Vermont 2nd Infantry, 1861 - 1862. | Remington, Loyal (I15238)
|
| 165 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.) In the 1850 Federal Census, Herman & Elvira Remington, ages 45 & 38, are living at Starksboro, Addison Co., VT. They have a daughter Sylvina, age 11. Also with them is Hannah Remington, 73. They are living next door to Heman's widowed sister Laury Hill and family, and near Heman's sister Ruth Ross and family. In 1860 Heman & "Susan" Remington, both aged 45, are at Starksboro. Their daughter is married, and she and her husband, Monteville Ross, are living with them. In 1870 Heman & Alvira, ages 65 & 59, are at Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT. The Ross family is still with them, including two grandchildren, Ada & Butler. | Remington, Heman (I18199)
|
| 166 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.) In the 1850 Federal Census, his name appears to be written as Truman. In the 1880 Federal Census, Newman & Eliza are living at Madison, Jones Co., IA. They have a 9-year-old son, Merton C. (?) The family is living with Eliza's parents and sister. In 1900 Newman & E. M. are at Jewell, Hamilton Co., IA. | Remington, Newman (I17600)
|
| 167 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.) In the 1850 Federal Census, Hosea & Huldah are living in Danby, Rutland, VT, with their two children Caroline & Daniel. Also there is Hosea's (assumed) father, Joshua Remington, Jr. In 1860 "Hosa & Hulda" Remington, ages 40 and 36, are living at Horicon, Warren Co., NY. With them are the following children: Caroline 17, Daniel 12, Cornelius 7, Flora 5, & Herbert 1. All were born in VT except Flora & Herbert were born in NY. In the 1870 Federal Census, Hosea 50 and Ruth 33 (Rimington) are living at Hague, Warren Co., NY. With them is Stella, age 8. In 1880, Hosea is age 60, living at Hague, Warren Co., NY. His wife is Mary, age 57, b NY (parents b NY/MA). Daughter Stella Remington is 18 and working in a hotel (parents b VT/VT). From this data I assume Mary is Hosea's third wife. In the 1900 Federal Census, Hosea is a widower, age 81, living at Chestertown, Warren Co., NY, with his married daughter Stella and family. According to Pat Boyden's Remington genealogy report, Hosea died 16 May 1911 at Horicon, Warren Co., NY. Pat's genealogy has his second wife as Ruth. | Remington, Hosea (I13242)
|
| 168 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.) In the 1850 Federal Census, Joshua Remington, Jr., appears to be age 54 and living in Danby, Rutland, VT. His wife is not there, so apparently she has passed away. In the household are son Hosea, and Hulda, assumed to be Hosea's wife, and their two young children. In the 1860 Federal Census, Joshua Remington is age 70 and living at Schroon, Essex Co., NY, with his son Justus and family. In 1870, Joshua is age 80 and living with son Ziba and family at Horicon, Warren Co., NY. One local history says he was born about 1790. It also states that he lived at Wallingford and Hinesburg, VT, and in later years at Huntington. (source: "New England Families" Vol. I, Genealogies and Memorials, p. 381) The name of Joshua's wife, as well as a list of some of his children, came from "New England Families" Vol. I, Genealogies and Memorials, p. 381. Also, her name, and birth/death dates for Polly & Joshua, are found in the book "Descendants of Roger Williams" Book III, Sayles Line, p. 203. This source says Joshua was born c1790 at Wall, VT. "History of Worcester Co., MA" p 98 says he married Diadama (source: Google Books). Rootsweb's Worldconnect has a family tree showing Joshua's second wife as Diademia Clark, date of marriage 1 June 1835. | Remington, Joshua IV (I13241)
|
| 169 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.) In the 1850 Federal Census, Orange & Lucy Remington, ages 25 & 24, are living at Jericho, Chittenden Co., VT, with John & Nancy Thompson, Lucy's parents. Also there is Orange's nephew, Stephen Remington, age 15; I am assuming he is Campbell's son. In the 1860 Federal Census, Orange 36 & Lucy 36 are living at Morristown, Lamoille Co., VT. In the household are their young daughter Mary 4, and their two mothers, Rhoda Remington & Nancy Thompson, both aged 71; also Lorenzo Dike, 25, who I believe is Orange's nephew, son of Melissa (Remington) Dike/Dyke. From the date and location, I presume that Orange died in the Civil War. | Remington, Orange (I15725)
|
| 170 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.) In the 1850 Federal Census, Philemon and his family are living next door to Rhoda Remington and the Mix family, at Huntington, Chittenden, VT. Mrs. Joshua Mix is the former Sophronia Remington, Philemon's first cousin. In the census Philemon appears to be age 31 and his wife Adeline is 38. Three children are in the household: Mitchell, Annette, & Anaurilla (?). In the 1860 census, the family is at Huntington: Philemon 46, Adeline 48, Mitchell 21, Annette 19, & Ann 17. In 1870 Philemon & Adeline are still at Huntington, with their daughter "Ansarilla" (?). I have placed Philemon in this family group because Pat Boyden's genealogy lists him as a son of Jeremiah & Mary (Ross) Remington (needs more research to confirm). | Remington, Philemon (I13234)
|
| 171 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.) 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. | Remington, Solomon (I17598)

In the 1860 Federal Census, Justus B. & Eliza A. Remington, ages 44 & 32, are living at Schroon, Essex Co., NY. They have two sons: Charley 4, and Justus B. 1 month. Also in the household are Joshua Remington, 70 (assumed to be father of Justus), Helen Davis 8 (probably a niece), and Orange Remington, 20. They are living next to brother Zeba (Ziba) Remington and family, and also Henry Remington and family. In 1870 J. & Eliza A. Remington, ages 53 & 41, are still living at at Schroon, NY. They have two children: Clarissa 14, & Justice Jr., 10. I believe Clarissa should be Charles, their son. Also with them is Hellen Davis, 18. The family is living near Orange & Sarah Remington. In 1880 Justus & Eliza are ages 63 & 61, and are still at Schroon, NY. Son Justus Jr., age 20, is still with them. They are next to Charley & Cora Remington and two dwellings away from Orange & Jane Remington and family. I think Orange may be a son of Justus from a first marriage. (This has since been confirmed by Valorie Sherman.) In 1850, there is a Mary Remington, age 14 VT, and Orange Remington, age 10 NY, living with the Davis family at Bolton, Warren Co., NY. Justus's two sisters were living there, both having married a Davis. | Remington, Justus B. (I01521)

In the 1900 Federal Census, Henry & Anna Remington, ages 33 & 24, are living at Queensbury, Warren Co., NY. They have three children: Orange 4, Sarah 2, & Bertha 6 months. Also in the household is an uncle, Oliver Rising, age 48, b Nov 1851 NY. According to the census data, Henry & Anna have been married 7 years. In the 1910 Federal Census, Henry is 34 and Anna is 33. They are living at 14 Morton St., Glens Falls, Warren Co., NY. Their three children are still with them, as well as Henry's parents, Orange & Sarah. In the 1930 Federal Census, Henry & Anna, ages 53 & 52, are living on Wilmot Street, Glens Falls (Queensbury), Warren Co., NY.

| 175 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.) It may be that there was no Silas in this family, and that the name should be Sylvia, while another daughter was Sally. Uriah was in the Revolution (MA & VT). He "enlisted in 1775 in a Bridgewater, Massachusetts, company, and was also a veteran at the time they went to Vermont. Joshua and Uriah were both in Captain Stafford's company, colonel Ebenezer Allen's regiment of Vermont militia in October, 1780, June, 1781, and again in 1780 in Captain Orange Train's company, Colonel Lee's regiment; also in Captain John Sprague's company, Colonel Gideon Warren's regiment, 1780-81." (source: "New England Families" Vol. I, Genealogies and Memorials, p. 381) Also, he fought in War of 1812. According to the "Oliver M. Remington Bible Records" (National DAR Records; referenced in "A Remington Family History" by Lois Remington Smith, p. C-2), Uriah & Sallie Remington moved from Rutland, VT, to Croton, NY, now called Tredwell, Delaware Co., NY, on 15 Feb 1789 (or perhaps that is the date he bought land there; possibly the whole family did not move until 1790 or 1791). His military record says he was 5' 10" tall and of a light complexion. The Federal Census of 1790 lists Uri Remington living at Tinmouth, Rutland Co., VT; seven persons are in the household. The Federal Census of 1810 lists him as Uriah Ramington in Delaware Co., NY I have roughly estimated the birth years of four of his children. Some information on this family came from Lois Remington Smith in "A Remington Family History, 1687-1962"; San Jose, CA; 1963, Appendix C. His gravestone inscription reads: "Beneath this stone death's prisoner lies, The stone shall move the prisoner rise, When Jesus with almighty word, Calls his dead saints to meet their Lord." From "Biographical Review" of Delaware County, NY, web site: [Uriah] "served as a Revolutionary soldier for seven years. His constant companion during that time was his pet dog, who, displaying wonderful sagacity, more than once saved his life. At one station on the frontier the sentinels were almost nightly killed while on duty, but the perpetrators of the crime could not be discovered. It soon became difficult to obtain a sentinel from the ranks; but Mr. Remington volunteered for the duty, and, accompanied by his faithful dog, began his solitary walk. Soon the dog began to bark and dig at the roots of a dead tree; and, accordingly, Mr. Remington fired at what appeared to be a black ball among the branches. Down fell the body of the Indian who had waited in ambush to take the life of the man whose victim he himself proved to be. At another time, when on guard, Mr. Reminton saw what he supposed to be a wild hog, but, disliking to needlessly alarm the camp, refrained from firing for a time. At length his dog again became frantic; and, noticing the peculiar gait of the supposed hog, he fired, and, hastening to the spot, discovered that he had killed an Indian, who was cleverly disguised that he might attack the sentinels. At the close of the war Mr. Remington settled in West Meredith, where he engaged extensively in farming and lumbering, and also operated a saw and grist mill, in all of which industries he was eminently successful."

| 176 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.) John Remington is the head of a household in the 1840 Federal Census at Tiverton. The family consists of 1 white male under 5, 1 white male 40-50, and 1 white female 30-40. They are listed next to Eseck Manchester's family and Benjamin Hambly, Jr.'s family. This Benjamin Hambly would be either the father or the brother of John's sister-in-law, Mary Anne (Hambly) Remington, who by this time was probably Benjamin's widow. In the 1850 Federal Census at Tiverton, John Remington is age 50, and his wife Hannah is 40. They have four children: Albert 17, Lydia A. 9, Stephen 6, & Nathan 2. Hannah may be related to the Durfees, as there is a Hannah Remington age 51 living with a Durfee family in the 1860 census. If her daughter Lydia A. is the Alice Remington who married Amenezer James Durfee, that might explain the connection. I haven't found a death record for John. Did he die at sea, as did his brother Benjamin? | Remington, John (I05158)

| 177 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.) Note: I have not yet verified that Daniel belongs to Daniel & Hannah; this needs more research. In the 1840 Federal Census, Daniel Remington is living at Addison Co., VT. The household consists of 1 male 40 - 50, 1 male 10 - 15, 1 female 40 - 50, and 1 female 5 - 10. This looks like the correct family. In the 1850 Federal Census, "David" & Mary Remington are ages 64 & 43, living at Leicester, Addison Co., VT. Their daughter Abbey, 21, is with them. Next door is son Adoniram and his family. In 1860, D. & Clarasa Remington, ages 58 & 49, are at Leicester, VT. In 1870, "David" & Clara Remington, ages 69 & 53, are satill at Leiester, VT. In 1880 David (or Daniel -- can't tell which) & Clarissa Remington are ages 80 and 64, still at Leicester, Addison Co., VT. The census says David was born in CT, but that is probably an error. With them is son Adoniram J. Remington, 52. | Remington, Daniel (I18198)

| 178 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.) The family of Jesse Remington is in the 1800 census at Candia, Rockingham Co., NH, and in 1810 at Chester, Rockingham Co., NH. In 1800, there appear to be five sons and one daughter; in 1810 there are seven sons and two daughters. See the publication entitled "Historical discourse delivered at the centennial anniversary of the Congregational Church, Candia, N.H., April 5, 1871" by James H. Fitts; Exeter, N.H.: News-Letter Press, 1903. This history of the church pastored by Rev. Jesse Remington has many references to him, particularly in pp. 45 ff. The notes immediately following here are from this source. "On the 12 of July, 1790, the town by a vote of 76 to 12, extended to Mr. Jesse Remington a Call to the work of the ministry in this Parish . . . The church also, Oct. 20, 1790, extended him a call, and received him to 'full communion' by letter from Taunton." (p. 45 - 46) The area of Candia, Rockingham County, NH, was initially purchased and settled around 1720. The town was incorported in 1763, and a preacher was hired in 1764. Rev. Remington was the fifth minister to the town's congregants. He served in this ministry 24 years 4 months 13 days (1790 - 1815). He was born in Abington, MA, in 1760, graduated from Harvard in 1784, and received the honarary degree of Master of Arts in 1808. (p. 48) Rev. Jesse Remington died on 3 Mar 1815 at the age of 55, after a "long, painful, and tedious sickness" in which he was "patient, submissive, and resigned." (p. 49) From his funeral sermon by Rev. Josiah Prentice: "He was indeed an Evangelical Preacher, sound in the Faith, remarkably clear in the doctrines of grace, a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, holding forth the faithful word . . . " (p. 49) This historical discourse mentions a man named Jesse Remington Fitts associated with the church in the 1870s. He and his family are in the 1850 census at Candia. I don't think that he was a descendant, but he was born c1815 and was obviously named after the pastor. There is a Latin inscription on his gravestone: "Sic transit gloria mundi" -- which means, so fades the glory of the world. According to Boyd Scott Remington's ancestry chart, Jesse was in the Revolution (no source noted). From the headmaster of Jesse Remington High School: Hello Lois Well, Mr. Remington was a most fascinating man! There is a bit known about him, but not a lot. He was a late Colonial Pastor, statesman, leader in the Candia, Chester area. He led our area in strong Christian teaching, and was a strong opponent to the new, deistic definition of Christianity. He died in 1815, is buried here, with a wife and son. We use his home as part of our campus. I was on the team that chose the name for our school, and we use his name as a model and example for our students. What little is written about him is in the Candia Public Library, which goes by the name "Smyth Public Library". One person who is more in the know about him than I would be our pastor, David, at areformer@aol.com. Best of luck! Let me know if you find anything really great about him! Jeff Philbrick * * * * * Jesse Remington was pastor from 1790 until his death in 1815. He was not the first pastor of the church but his strong evangelical theology set the church "on a firm foundation," and established the strong committed congregation that was able to receive the 265 conversions which occurred in 1822-23 during a revival. He opposed the "halfway covenant" which was the move toward liberal religion in his time - this was significant in that the President of Harvard declared his non-belief in the trinity in 1800 and the stage was being set for the Unitarian vs. Congregational split in New England. Under JR the church established a new convenant (1793) which was restored to use after the renewal here in the mid 1980s, and JR set the precedent of only baptizing the babies of "communicant members," that is, those who gave personal testimony to faith in Christ rather than simply "owning the covenant." This is still a mark of the church. In the 1790s under JR it is significant that Candia was censured by the Rockingham Assoc. for the introduction of the "new musick" via a choir and bass viol. He was a strong-minded independent person who debated with the Baptists when they arrived on his watch, and built his own house when the parsonage began falling apart (literally). After his death his empty house (recently purchased by the church and now in use) was the site of the first attempt by Fitts to create a high school that would "provide a trinitarian alternative to the Unitarian school at Exeter" (Phillips Exeter Academy). This school sputtered in and out of existence over a twenty-or-so-year period. JR is buried in the graveyard behind the church and we have some other information in various documents here if you wish to poke around. In 1871 at the Centennial of the church a prayer was offered by Fitts that a "fitting memorial" would be someday raised to JR as the spiritual father of faith in the community. We see the High School as that memorial. Hope that helps. Pastor David (Candia Congregational Church) The Jesse Remington Farm is now the parsonage. | Remington, Jesse (2) (I07883)

| 179 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.) The list of Joshua's children and their birth dates is given quite differently in different sources. I have not personally confirmed the list which I have on this tree, but have used various sources to compile the family group. See my notes for the individual children and their families, which I have researched. According to his affadavit, Joshua may have been born in Hingham c1760, but the birth was recorded in Abington. Lois Remington Smith mentions his baptism record at Hingham on 14 Sept 1760, but birth record at Abington dated 1 Nov 1760. Gretchen Paulsen has provided information that he was born 9 Sep 1760, and his gravestone inscription reads "died 1855 age 95 years." Joshua Remington, Jr. was a soldier in the Revolutionary War (VT) and was "present at the Battle of Bennington. He was in Captain Nathan Harwood's company, Colonel John Dickinson's regiment, the roll of which was sworn to in Chesterfield, New Hampshire. He was also in Captain Joseph Clapp's company, and Colonel Israel Chapin's regiment (Third Massachusetts) in the fall of 1779 and marched to reinforce the northern army. He settled in Wallingford, Vermont, in 1780, and saw further service there in a Vermont regiment . . . Joshua and Uriah were both in Captain Stafford's company, colonel Ebenezer Allen's regiment of Vermont militia in October, 1780, June, 1781, and again in 1780 in Captain Orange Train's company, Colonel Lee's regiment; also in Captain John Sprague's company, Colonel Gideon Warren's regiment, 1780-81." (source: "New England Families" Vol. I, Genealogies and Memorials, p. 381) Joshua was placed on the pension roll of Chittendon County, VT, in 1832 for service as a private in the MA militia. According to Boyd Scott Remington's ancestry chart, Joshua was baptised on 14 Sept 1760. He later lived in Wallingford, and died in Huntington, VT. Elsewhere I have seen that he may have been born 1 Nov 1760 (no source documentation). However, "New England Families," Vol. I, p. 381, says he was born in Nov 1759. According to "Genealogical and Family History of Western New York" by William Richard Cutter, p. 978, Joshua moved to Rutland County, VT . . . He lived at Wallington." In the 1790 Federal Census, a Joshua Remington is living at Danby, Rutland, VT. Besides Joshua, the household includes three white males under 16 and six free white females. Most likely the sons are Samuel, Jeremiah, & another unknown son before that time. He is likely the Joshua Remington listed in the 1810 Federal Census at Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT: 1 FWM<10, 1 FWM 10-15, 1 FWM 45+, 1 FWF 10-15, 1 FWF 16 - 25, 1 FWF 45+; total 6. He may have lived for a while at Hinesburg, VT, where he bought real estate on 19 Sept 1818, and sold it to his son 28 Aug 1819, returning to Wallingford or Huntington. (source: "New England Families" Vol. I, Genealogies and Memorials, p. 381) In the 1850 Federal Census, Joshua is age 90, living with his son Jeremiah and family at Huntington, Chittenden, VT. Joshua Remington is a DAR Patriot. | Remington, Joshua III (I07674)

| 180 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.) This Joseph Remington is probably the one listed in the 1810 Federal Census at Wallingford, Rutland, VT: 1 FWM<10, 1 FWM 10-15, 1 FWM 26-44, 3 FWF<10, 1 FWF 26-44; total 7. Also, Stephen & Joshua Remington (likely his brothers) are listed in the same town. In the 1850 Federal Census, this Joseph appears to be the Joseph Remington, age 84 b. MA, living at Chester, Warren, NY, with Wiliam Remington, 30 b. VT, and Almira 35, b. PA and their daughter Laura A. 8, b. NY. They are next door to Jeremiah 44 & Polly 45 Remington, and their two (presumed) daughters, Sylvia & Mary. This Joseph has often been confused with Joseph Remington of Windsor, VT, our closer relative, who, by his own affidavit, was born (about) 13 June 1757 at Hopkinton, RI. | Remington, Joseph (I07981)

| 181 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.) Ziba was brought up in Vermont, but as a teenager or young adult went to New York State for employment, finally settling in Horicon, Warren County, where he engaged in farming and lumbering businesses. (info source: "New England Families" Vol. I, Genealogies and Memorials, p. 381) If these dates are all correct for this family, Ziba would have been born when his mother was 53. While this is possible, it must be acknowledged that Ziba may have been born several years earlier, or even that he may have had another mother -- possibly a single mother in the family. In the 1860 Federal Census, Ziba & Mary Remington,ages 26 & 22, are living at Schroon, Essex Co., NY. They have a 1-year-old son, Worden. In 1870, the family is at Horicon, Warren Co., NY. Ziba & Mary, ages 37 & 33, have four children: Worden, Sidney, Eddie, & Fred. Joshua Remington, his presumed father, is living with them at age 80. In 1880, Ziba & Mary are still at Horicon and have five children: Worden, Edward, Frederick, Jennie, & Burdette. In 1900, Ziba, aged 67, and his sister-in-law Eliza A. Remington, aged 71, both widowed, are living at Horicon, NY. They are next door to Ziba's son Burdett (Burr) and family. In the 1910 Federal Census, Ziba Remington is age 76, still living at Horicon, NY. With him is his widowed sister-in-law, Eliza A. (Bentley) Remington, age 81, and nephew Jetta (Justus Jr.?) Remington, 49. | Remington, Ziba (I15025)
|
| 182 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me -- Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher -- and/or to other sources as noted herein.) He may be the Jeremiah Remington listed in the 1810 Federal Census at Huntington, Chittenden, VT: 1 FWM<10, 1 FWM 26-44, 1 FWF 26-44; total 3. If correct, this means he must have had a young son at this time. In the 1830 Federal Census, Jeremiah is age 40 - 50, and his wife is in the same age bracket. In their household are two males 15 - 20 and one male 20 - 30, as well as two females 5 - 10 and two females 15 - 20. If these young people are all his children, he had at least three sons and four daughters. They are living at Huntington, Chittenden, VT. They are still there in 1850, when Jeremiah is age 66 and Mary is 72. Lucinda Remington, age 30, and Joshua Remington, age 90, are in the home, as well as Charles Firman, 30, and Mary Firman, 68. Gretchen Paulsen has confirmed that Jeremiah died in 1852, as noted on his gravestone. Janet Muff sent me images of the will and probate documents of Jeremiah Griffiths. As it is unclear when he died, she suggests that it's a possibility that Jeremiah Remington was the biological son of Jeremiah Griffiths. However, this needs more research to confirm. | Remington, Jeremiah (I07972)

| 183 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.) According to data in the 1880 Federal Census, Letitia's parents were born in Ireland. The RI Marriage Index gives her name as Leutishia. | White, Letitia (I05084)
|
| 184 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.) According to the "History of Providence County," p. 621, ed. by Richard M. Bayles in 1891, Thomas was born in Coventry, but soon afterwards his parents moved to Scituate. He married Letitia White of Scituate, and they had three children. In the 1880 Federal Census, the family is at Scituate, Providence, County, RI. Thomas was elected to the Scituate Town Council in 1887 and 1889, serving as president for part of the time. During the Civil War he was in the First Connecticut Heavy Artillery. Around 1875 he started the Remington's Dairy, which was continuously managed by future generations for 94 years. Formerly he had been a cattle dealer. He would take the train to New York, buy horses and cows, then drive them home to Rhode Island, selling and trading some along the way. After starting the dairy business, he peddled milk by horse and wagon, and often by horse and sleigh in the winter months. (Information on the Remington's Dairy was obtained from several newspaper articles on file at the North Scituate Library.) | Remington, Thomas Jefferson (I05083)
|
| 185 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.) According to the RI Cemetery Database (complete data), Louisa P. Remington was born 27 Dec 1849. However, if Louisa (Potter) Remington died 7 March 1849, she cannot be her mother. Although Martha Benns includes her in this family, there is a discrepancy in these dates. Benns may have been confused by the month of death. The gravestone inscription gives Louisa's dob as 27 Feb 1849, which is more reasonable. The 1850 Federal Census shows a Louisa T. Remington, age 1 year, living in a Cranston household with Orra 60, Juliett 30, & Matilda Potter 30, and Cynthia Mathewson 39. Probably they were caring for the child because her mother had died. On the other hand, Louisa P. Remington, age 1, is with John Remington and his (second) wife Amy and family, living at Scituate, RI in 1850. Is this the same child listed twice, or two different individuals? I tend to think it is the same one, and that she was being cared for by relatives at the time of the census, perhaps while John's new wife "settled in." Louisa Remington is mentioned in the will of her aunt, Susan (Remington) Place, dated 27 Oct 1855. | Remington, Louisa P. (I05093)
|
| 186 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.) Alden G. Beaman gives her date of birth as 3 March 1686, as does the book "Descendants of Roger Williams," Book III, Sayles Line, p. 24. The exact date is not legible in the original Jamestown records (p. 14). It reads: "Abigail Remington daughter of Daniel born March 1686." Abigail Remington, daughter of Daniel Remington, is mentioned as a kinswoman of Phebe Arnold in the 1697 will of Oliver Arnold of "Conenicut Island." Oliver's wife, Phebe (Cooke) Arnold, was Abigail's great aunt, sister of her maternal grandmother, Sarah (Cooke) Parker. Some genealogies use the date of death, 6 Mar 1763, for another Abigail Remington, the one who married William Gardiner. | Remington, Abigail (I02899)

| 187 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.) Benedict was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. According to BSR, he lived in Newport and Smithfield, RI. His place of birth, Jamestown, was obtained from the death record of his son John. His marriage record in 1780 identifies him as being of Smithfield, and son of John & Mary, of Jamestown. In the Federal Census of 1800, "Benedic Remmington" is listed in the 2nd Parish at Mendon, Worcester Co., MA. RI American of 21 Dec 1819, death notice: "Remington, Benedict, at Pawtuxet, in 64th yr." (Did he die at Mendon, MA, or Pawtuxet, RI? I think he probably died in Mendon, MA, and that the newspaper was in error -- needs more research to confirm.) The Battey Family Papers give his date of death as 9 Dec 1819. | Remington, Benedict (I05551)

| 188 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.) Benjamin and his wife Hannah were first cousins. Marrying a cousin was very common in those days. Newenglandancestors.org, Vital Records of Jamestown, has his birth date as 19 Sep 1733. DAR membership file #750866 (Christine Welch Lindsey) has Benjamin's dob as 17 Apr 1733. Benjamin & Hannah lived in Jamestown. He was a captain in the Revolutionary War, and two of his houses were burned by the British, 10 Dec 1775 and 19 Aug 1780. The Providence Gazette of 30 Sept 1820 reported the death of Capt. Benjamin Remington, age 84, at Jamestown.

Abel Franklin William Smith Date April 16, 1777 There is a note in the archives at The RI Historical Society Library which mentions a voyage of Capt. Benj. Remington of Jamestown to the coast of Africa for slaves. The note is not dated, but this may refer to this particular Benjamin: (Mss 9006 Shepley Collection Updike, Daniel Rhode Island Accounts n.d.

Benjamin Remington's of Jamestown, R.I. while on a voyage to the coast of Affrica for slaves.") Boyd Scott Remington's chart has his dates of birth and death as: 19 Sept 1733 - 30 Sept 1820. However, if it was reported in the newspaper on 30 Sept, he probably died before then. BSR also lists a Sarah & Mary among the children of Benjamin & Hannah. See notes for Sally.

| 189 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.) Edgar Remington of Savannah, NY, was in the Civil War. He was commissioned a Sergeant on 31 Jul 1862 in the 111th Infantry Co. B. Edgar was wounded in the Battle of the Wilderness and therefore was absent due to wounds at the date of general discharge, 4 June 1865. His brother Wager H. and cousin George H. were wounded in the same battle. (Source: Clark, Lewis H.; Military History of Wayne County, NY; Sodus, NY: Hulett & Gaylord, 1863 & 1883, pp 130 List of Soldiers, Savannah.) He may be the Edgar Remington age 39 living at Chicago, IL, in the 1880 Federal Census. | Remington, Edgar (I20358)
|
| 190 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.) He is probably the John Remington in the 1880 Coventry Census, age 74, living with his wife Lyly (Lydy?), age 55. His third wife was Lydia Arnold. In the 1850 Federal Census he is in Scituate, RI, with his second wife Amy and 6 children. In 1870 John and Amey are at Scituate. Son William is with them, age 22. The RI Death Index has his date of death as Feb 20, 1883. | Remington, John (I04439)

| 191 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.) I am going to make an assumption that Sheffield is a son of Thomas & Patience (Matteson) Remington (needs additional research to confirm). So far the evidence points to this. In the 1840 Federal Census, Sheffield Remington is listed as residing in Coventry, RI. The household includes: two free white males age 0-5, one free white male age 20-30, and one free white female age 20-30. Census data shows that Sheffield was engaged in agriculture. In the 1850 Federal Census, he is age 37 and living at West Greenwich, RI, with various family members in the household of Sarah (Nichols) Whitford, mother of Levi who married Sally Ann Remington. Thus, it seems very possible that Sheffield is a younger brother of Sarah Whitford's daughter-in-law, Sally Ann (Remington) Whitford. In 1850 Sheffield's wife Huldah is not with him, so possibly he is widowed (or divorced?). His son Christopher b.c.1838 is also living in West Greenwich with the Benoni Matteson family. A Cyrus W. Remington, b.c.1840 is living with the Burrill Matteson family. Could Cyrus be another son? It is very likely, especially since Christopher later had a son named Cyrus. Sheffield named a son Christopher H. He could be named after the maternal grandfather of Patience (Matteson) Remington (Christopher Hall); Patience also had a brother named Christopher. Very possibly Sheffield named a son after this (assumed) uncle and his (assumed) great grandfather. Another point of interest is that a younger sister of Sally Ann (Remington) Whitford, Susan, married Dr. Cyrus Place, whose first wife was Rosannah Matteson, first cousin of Susan. Thus, the name Cyrus appears among the uncles in the Remington/Matteson extended family. In 1860 at West Greenwich, the census shows Cyrus, age 19, George, age 17, & Henry C., age 15, living with various families in town. Are these all brothers, possibly sons of Sheffield & Huldah? Possibly. In the 1860 Federal Census, Sheffield "Remeninto" is age 47 and living in Coventry, RI, at the home of John B. & Ruth Strait, along with several other individuals who may be boarders. In the 1870 Federal Census, Sheffield Remington is age 57 and living alone (keeping house) at West Greenwich, RI. He is living next to Burrill (age 35) & Caroline Matteson and family. Are these folks related to the Burrill Matteson in 1850 in whose household Cyrus Remington, age 10, was living? Probably. Sheffield Remington was liberated from jail in Jan 1860. I don't know what his offense was -- possibly not paying his debts or taxes -- this needs more research. (source: Acts and Resolves of the General Assembly of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations Passed at the May Session, 1858; p. 226; Google Books): "Upon the petition of Sheffield Remington, praying to be released from imprisonment in the Kent county jail: Voted and resolved, That the senate do hereby advise and consent to the pardon of the said Sheffield Remington from his said imprisonment, as recommended by His Excellency the Governor." Unfortunately, the death record at Coventry does not identify his parents, or his age. In fact, it gives no information at all about him. I have no idea where he could have been buried, as there is no record of a gravestone in the RI Cemetery Database. Of course, he may be buried in the family plot without a stone. As an alternative to the above notes, Sheffield may be a son of Tiddeman Remington & Elizabeth Sheffield, but I have no other evidence with which to confirm this. The death record of George, Sheffield's son, says Sheffield was born in Coventry, so this leads me to favor the possibility that he is a son of Thomas & Patience. | Remington, Sheffield R. (I11104)

| 192 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.) I am making an assumption that this John Remington belongs in this family group, solely based on the names and dates of his children. (But note: this needs further research. At the present time I can not see any other family in which he would fit.) Some of John's descendants -- as far as can be determined -- are buried in the Blackstone Cemetery, Blackstone, MA. A stone there refers to John Remington 1680 - 1745. But if this John who married Mary is the son of John b1680, why do the names of his children reflect the ancestry of Gershom & Clemence? BSR says he moved from Jamestown in 1756. This note may pertain to this John Remington: Newport Mercury 30 Oct 1915, historical note from 31 Jul 1769 - "John Remington carries on shoe making for Elizabeth Mumford, wido, in New Lane." BSR has his date of death as 06 December 1809. | Remington, John (I05414)
|
| 193 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.) I believe this Thomas Remington, Jr., is the one mentioned as a cousin in the will of Thomas Collins of Foster, dated 24 May 1805. The word cousin can mean relative, or he could mean first cousin, as we use the term today. Information on some individuals in this family group came from "Representative Men & Old Families of Rhode Island," Vol. I (Chicago: J. H. Beers & Co., 1908), p. 591. The dates for Thomas came from the RI Cemetery Database, Coventry Historical Cemetery #148. In the 1850 Federal Census, Thomas & Patience are in their 70s and living at Coventry, RI, with their daughters Eliza and Susan. I am not sure that Sheffield belongs in this family -- see notes for him. However, evidence of location, dates, and names strongly supports this conclusion. | Remington, Thomas Jr. (I04428)
|
| 194 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.) I have made an assumption that Susan Remington is the wife of Benjamin Servis/Service in the 1860 & 1870 censuses. The age and town are right; in addition, in the 1870 census, there is a Mary Remington age 80 NY boarding with the Hopkins family next door. (these families need more research) In the 1860 Federal Census, Mary Remington is with the Hopkins family at that time, also. She is age 69 CT. (She may be the mother of Philander Remington in the 1850 census at the same town. Who is he?) | Remington, Susan (I20366)
|
| 195 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.) I have made an assumption that this date of death in the RI Cemetery Database is for this particular William Remington. (needs verification) He may also be the William Remington, age 28 RI, who is a farm laborer in Santa Cruz, CA, in the 1870 Federal Census. He also may be the farm laborer in 1880, age 38 and single, living at Alameda, Washington Co., CA. However, William Remington, 37, is listed as living with brother Albert and family at Coventry, RI, in 1880 -- so either he came back to RI and thus was counted twice, or else the one in CA is a different William. According to J. R. Cole's "History of Washington and Kent Counties" p. 1339, this William was born in Scituate and lived in Coventry. | Remington, William (I05091)
|
| 196 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.) I have made an assumption that William belongs in this family group, for two reasons: he is living in the same geographical area as Wager's sister Penelope and Wager's assumed son Richard M. Remington; also, his first two children appear to be named after his parents. Update: the death record gives his father's name as Wagar Remington. His middle initial is given as both L and M in different censuses; I have used M because it is in two censuses. He was probably named after William Martin, father of Mary Martin who married Wager Hull and Gershom Remington. In the 1850 Federal Census, William L. & Antoinette Remington, ages 40 & 41, are living at Rose, Wayne Co., NY. They have seven children in the home: Wager G. 16, Susan 14, George !2, Wm. M. 10, Chas A. 6, Silas K. 4, & Anna 2. In the 1860 Federal Census, the family is at Savannah, Wayne Co., NY: William 50, Ann J. 51, Charles 16, Silas R. 14, Anna 12, & Hannah C. 10. William's (assumed) brother, Richard, is also living at Savannah with his family in 1860. Both of these families have a son named Wager; these two cousins are working in Butler, Wayne Co., NY, along with George, another of William's sons. In the 1870 Federal Census, William M. Remington is 60 and his wife "Agmett" is 61. With them are Anna 21 & Hannah 17. They are living at Boston, Ionia Co., MI. Next door is son Silas and his wife Emma. In the 1880 Federal Census, Wm. M. Remington and his wife Ann J. Remington are ages 69 & 70. They are living at Boston, Ionia Co., MI. Next door is son Silas K. Remington and his wife and family. (see notes for Silas) | Remington, William M. (I20347)
|
| 197 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.) I think it likely that she was the daughter of Tiddeman Hull b. 1690. He had a daughter Mary born 28 July 1720. (This needs more research to confirm.) A Battey manuscript suggests that Mary may have been a daughter of William & Jane Battey. | Unknown, Mary (I05415)
|
| 198 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.) In 1850 Wager G. Remington is age 16, living with his parents and siblings at Rose, Wayne Co., NY. In 1860 Wager Remington is 26, working as a dry goods clerk at Butler, Wayne Co., NY. In 1870 Wayne (Wager) Remington is 35, living at Bowne, Kent Co., MI. His wife Julia is 38. They have two children: Malcolm 8 & Lillian 2. In 1880 the family is still at Bowne, MI. Wager T. Remington is age 46 and his wife Julia E. Remington is 38 (still!). They have three children: Malcolm B. 18, Lillian A. 12, & Floyd W. 3. From Lake Shore News, Wolcott, NY, 28 June 1877: "South Butler -- Mr. Wager Remington of MI and his wife are visiting friends in this neighborhood." | Remington, Wager G. (I20365)
|
| 199 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.) In 1870 Arthur is age 17, living with his parents and working as a store clerk in Hudson, Columbia Co., NY. In 1880 he may be the Arthur Remington age 27 living at Omaha, NE, working as a store clerk and living in a rooming house. However, the census gives his birthplace as Iowa. There are other Remington relatives there (Wager H. Remington and his wife), so I suspect he may be this Arthur. In 1910 there is an Arthur Remington living at Yorkshire, Cattaraugus Co., NY. | Remington, Arthur (I20363)
|
| 200 | (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.) In the 1830 Federal Census, Benedict is residing at Northbridge, Worcester County, MA. He is still there in 1850, with his wife Mary and two daughters -- Margaret & Sarah, and daughter-in-law Lydia M. In the 1860 census, Benedict & Mary are ages 61 & 62, still residing at Northbridge. Their daughter Sarah L., age 24, is with them The name on his gravestone reads Benedick Remington. | Remington, Benedict Jr. (I05559)
