  • Notes 
    • I have made an assumption that Theodore is a son in this family, based on a few points: 1) he named a son Zeno; 2) his birth year range and location place him here; and 3) Theodore and Philander are both mentioned in a land assessment as grantees Jan 1849.

      In 1850, Theodore 25 and Margaret 23 are at Mentz, Cayuga Co., NY; they have a son Henry age 1. They appear to be living with or next to the family of Jonah and Malinda Campbell.

      My thought: Henry born c1849 is Zeno in later records; his middle initial is H; or, Henry died young and Zeno was born the next year and his middle name is Henry. I have come to the conclusion that Zeno was Theodore's father and Henry was Margaret's father.

      In 1860, they are at Horseheads, Chemung Co., NY: Theodore 30, Margaret 28, Zeno 10, George 5, John 1.

      Theodore Remington age 42 enlisted for Civil War 1863 in Cayuga, NY; mustered out of service 24 Aug 1865.

      In 1865 they are at Mentz, Cayuga Co., NY again: Theodore 32, Margaret 29 ?, Zeno 13 ?, George 8, John 6, Mary S. 4. Unclear, difficult to read. If I understand the census numbering correctly, they are in dwelling number 31, which is headed by Henry and Gertrude Bogardus, ages 75 and 74 (although on separate pages).

      In 1870 they are at Auburn, Cayuga Co., NY: Theodore 41, Margaret 39, Zeno 18, George 12, John 10; and Gertrude Bogardus 82. I am making an assumption that she is Margaret's mother.

      In 1880, Theodore Remington is age 55, a boarder in the family of John D. and Elinor Bogardus in Horseheads, Chemung Co., NY. They must also be related thorugh Margaret.

      His estimated year of birth changes so much in these records (1825 x2, 1821, 1829, 1830, 1833), but I am sure he is the same individual.
