Notes - His middle name may have been Elmer or Elmore.
Virgilius Remington is in the 1830 census at Fowler, Trumbull Co., Ohio.
Virgilious was the sheriff of Carthage, Illinois, during the time when Mormons Joseph Smith and his brother were killed. Later, Virgil went to California during the 1849 Gold Rush. Perhaps that is why he is not at home in Illinois in the 1850 Federal Census.
In 1850 he is living at Kelsey, Eldorado Co., CA. He is listed as age 48, b MA.
