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.
