- The 1880 Federal Census says he was born in "Indian Territory." The 1920 Federal Census says Oklahoma, which by then had become a state.
In 1920, Philip is age 43 and widowed. He has followed in his father's footsteps as a captain in the US military, and is stationed at Camp Gaillard, Panama Canal Zone. His four children and sister-in-law are there, also. Apparently he later married her, because in the 1930 Federal Census at Windsor, Hartford Co., CT, she appears as his wife.
Major Philip Remington, s/o late Col. Philip H. Remington, of Hartford, CT, is reported as wounded at age 42 (New York Times 5 Nov 1918).
The following may be about this particular Philip Remington (needs to be confirmed):
REMINGTON, PHILIP
Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army
22d Infantry
Date of Action: October 22, 1905
Citation:
The Distinguished Service Cross is presented to Philip Remington, Second Lieutenant, U.S. Army, for extraordinary heroism in action at Malala River, Mindanao, Philippine Islands, October 22, 1905. While commanding the leading troop of the advance guard of an expedition against Dato Ali, upon locating Ali's cotta, which was occupied by hostile Moros, Lieutenant Remington courageously dashed forward, leading his men, and engaged the enemy at point-blank range. In a pistol and rifle duel he succeeded in killing Ali with his pistol, but not until one of Lieutenant Remington's own men had been killed by rifle fire from Ali. He then disposed his command, which in a brisk fire fight killed the remaining members of the band of Moros.
