Notes - (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.
