  • Notes 
    • I am making an assumption that this marriage to Mary is for this particular Henry A. Remington, Jr., and that this family group found in the 1870 Federal Census at Providence is for him. His age in the census (35) fits his date of birth. In the Rhode Island Census of 1875, Henry H. Remington is 40, Mary is 39, Anna F. is 14, Charles H. is 9, and Mary H. is 7. The same couple appears to be in the 1900 Federal Census at Providence, and the dates agree, except Henry's dob is given as 7 Aug 1833. Their daughter Mary is a school teacher, age 33.

      In the Federal Census of 1910, Henry & Mary Remington, ages 75 & 70, are living on Potter Avenue, Providence, RI. They have been married 52 years. Henry's occupation is given as Builder & Undertaker.

      A city directory says his residence and office were at 55 Ocean St., Providence, RI.

      The Henry Remington family Bible has his birth year as 1835 (a copy of this record is in the Mary E. Rice Collection). It says he died at 120 Potter Ave., Providence. Virginia Adair has his birth year as 1834.
