  • Notes 
    • BSR (Boyd Scott Remington, family researcher and compiler) says John was of Lansingburgh, NY, and had children Norman E., John E., & Martha. I have added these names to John's family, and research is ongoing. See notes for the two sons.

      There is a Norman Remington in the census records 1850 - 1870 at Lansingburgh, but there is no indication who his father may have been. I have made an assumption that this Norman is a son of this particular John Remington, as noted by BSR. Later records give Norman's birthplace as Lansingburgh, and his estimated birth year strongly suggests that he belongs to John Remington as shown in the following censuses.

      In the Federal Census of 1810, John Remington Jr. is at Cheshire, Berkshire Co., MA. The household consists of 1 free white male under 10, 1 free white male 26 - 44, and 1 free white female 16 - 25. This looks like a young couple with a young son. John Remington (presumably his father and family) is listed in the same town.

      The Federal Census of 1820 lists John Remington at Troy, Rensselaer Co., NY. I have made an assumption that it is this particular John Remington, for three reasons -- the above-mentioned BSR genealogy chart; the fact that John's uncle, Jonathan, settled at Lansingburgh (adjoining Troy); and evidence from Norman's and John E.'s families that links them to Troy and Lansingburgh. The household in 1820 consists of 1 free white male <10 (b 1811 - 1820), 1 free white male 10 - 15 (b 1805 - 1810), 1 free white male 26 - 44 (b 1776 - 1794), 3 free white females <10 (b 1811 - 1820), 1 free white female 10 - 15 (b 1805 - 1918), and 1 free white female 26 - 44 (b 1776 - 1794). This data suggests that John and his wife may have had 2 sons and 4 daughters.

      Much information on John's son John Edward Remington and his descendants came from Delwin Remington. Other sources are noted.
