      In the 1860 Federal Census, William E. and Caroline Remington, ages 38 and 17, are living in Cranston, RI, Knightsville PO area. William is a mariner.

      According to a Naval Enlistment form at New Bedford, 15 June 1861, William E. Remington at that time was age 34, born in Warwick, had blue eyes, light brown hair, and dark complexion. and was 5 ft 9 1/2 in tall.
