Notes - (If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, Remington researcher, and to other sources as noted herein.)
It appears that this little family had four children who died young. Sarah, Henry's wife, then died shortly after giving birth to twins. How sad!
Information on their gravestone inscriptions was found in the "RI Genealogical Register" Vol. 17 p. 199.
Henry's gravestone includes the following inscription: "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him." (photograph from Jane Waterhouse)
In the Federal Census of 1850, Henry & Sarah A. Remmington, ages 35 & 33, are living at Southbridge, Worcester Co., MA. Two children are in the household: Phebe E. 10, and Napoleon B. 5. Henry's brother, Thomas, and his family also are living at Southbridge.
In the 1860 Federal Census, Henry has remarried and is living at Hartford, Litchfield Co., CT. His wife is Saloma, age 24. Children with them are: Esther 20, Napoleon 15, Sarah 8, Emma 4, & Helen 2. Also in the household are Henry & Julia Strickland and their two children, Ida & Adelaide.
In 1870 Henry is in New Britain, Hartford Co., CT. His wife's name appears as Selina, and they have three daughters with them: Emeline A. 15, Hellen C. 12, & Celia B. 9.
He may be the Henry Remington who, on 28 April 1861, as a member of Maple Root Baptist Church, was ordained to the Gospel Ministry and afterwards became assistant pastor. However, since Henry was living in CT at the time of the censuses, this needs more research.
