  • Notes 
    • Henry served as a cabinet maker's apprentice under Robert Niles. He later engaged in agricultural pursuits and became a prosperous farmer.

      In the 1850 Federal Census, Henry A., 46, & Sally A., 47, are living in Warwick, RI. Their children in the home are: Charles, 24, a clerk; William A., 23, a miner; Horatio A., 21, a machinist; Henry A., 16; Sarah A., 12; and Phebe A., 10.

      In the 1870 Federal Census, the family is in Providence, RI. Henry A. is age 66, "Sallie" A. is 66, Sarah A. is 33, and Phebe A. is 29. Also in the household is Marrietta Remington, 14, b.c. 1856 in Georgia. Could she be a daughter of William Aborn Remington from one of his marriages? (needs research) In a deed dated 13 Nov 1853 at Warwick, William A. Remington was said to be "of Marietta in the State of Georgia."

      Henry's death record identifies him as "son of Charles."

      Notes from the Mary E. Rice Collection, concerning Cranston land evidence, deed 19-435: Henry A. Remington & Sarah Ann Remington of Warwick, RI, sold land to Maria F. Condy of Cranston, RI, wife of Samuel A. Condy. This property had previously been sold to Charles Remington by Ezra Dean. (Maria is a sister of Henry.)

      Warwick land evidence, bk. 9 p. 366, in re: Sion Arnold, Henry A. Remington, etc.; this document says that Henry A. Remington is "guardian of persons & Estates of Phebe Remington, Sarah Remington, & Henry Remington infants under the age of 21 years, being heirs of Sion Arnold together with the said Horatio A., Charles, and one William A. Remington . . the said Sally Ann Remington, their mother." It was signed 15 July 1853 by Charles Remington, Henry A. Remington, Sally A. Remington, Horatio A. Remington, & Martha A. Remington (w/o Horatio).
