Albert F. Remington, Sr.

Notes:

The Rhode Island Death Index identifies Alfred F. Remington as a son of Charles & Mary Remington. I have made an assumption that he belongs in this particular family group, because I know of no other couple named Charles & Mary in this time frame. Also, the names of Alfred's children are important clues that reflect the names of his siblings.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Alfred F. & Eliza Remington, ages 45 & 42, are living in Cranston, RI. They have four children: Harriet 19, Charles 12, Albert 4, & Henry E. 2.

In the 1860 Federal Census, Albert F. & Eliza Remington, ages 54 & 51, are still living in Cranston. Three of their children are in the household: Charles 22, Albert F. 16, & Henry A. 12.

In 1870 they are in Ward 9, Providence, RI: Albert F. is 65 and Eliza R. is 60; Henry E. is 22.

By 1880, Albert & Eliza have an empty nest. He is age 74 and an invalid; she is 71. They are living in District 53, Providence, RI.

Albert married Eliza A. Read 1 May 1828, Providence, RI. Eliza (daughter of Peter Read and Margaret Unknown) was born Between 1808 and 1810, MA; died 31 Mar 1884, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Harriet was probably named for her aunt, Harriet Angelin Remington. For information on Harriet in the censuses, see the notes on her husband, John T. Brightman.

Harriet married John T. Brightman Bef 1858. John was born Between 1820 and 1822, MA; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The RI Cemetery Database identifies Charles Augustus & Eliza Augusta as children of Albert E. & Eliza Remington. They may have been twins. I believe Albert's middle initial should read F, because these children are buried near Albert's parents, Charles & Mary.

Notes:

The RI Cemetery Database identifies Charles Augustus & Eliza Augusta as children of Albert E. & Eliza Remington. They may have been twins. I believe Albert's middle initial should read F, because these children are buried near Albert's parents, Charles & Mary.

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Charles is age 12 and living with his family in Cranston, RI. In the 1860 Federal Census, Charles is age 22, still living at home with his parents and siblings in Cranston, RI. I have not located him in the 1870 census.

I have made an assumption that this individual in the 1880 Federal Census is the son of Albert & Eliza. Charles's middle initial and date of death were obtained from the Rhode Island Death Index, which identifies Charles A. Remington as the son of Albert & Eliza, and says he he died at the age 57. The age and middle initial agree with the census data in 1880. His wife's death is also recorded on the same page in the Rhode Island Death Index.

In the 1875 Rhode Island Census, his name appears as Charles H. Remington, age 37. His wife Mary S. Remington is 32, while son Amasa E. is 7. The family is at Providence, RI.

Charles married Mary Susan Lincoln 14 Mar 1862, Raynham, MA. Mary (daughter of Amasa Lincoln and Susan Unknown) was born Abt 1843, Raynham, MA; died 23 Apr 1883, RI. [Group Sheet]

Charles married Lillian English 27 Dec 1883, RI. Lillian was born Jun 1866, MA; died Aft 1 Jan 1920, FL. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The Rhode Island Death Index identifies him as a son of Albert & Eliza, and says he died at age 54, which would make his year of birth c1845. Census data puts his birth variously at 1844, 1845, and 1846.

Albert is with his parents and siblings in 1850 and 1860. In the 1870 Federal Census Albert F. Remington, age 25, is living with his wife Marietta, age 21, in Ward 1, Providence, RI. They have a young son, Ferdinand, age 2. The RI Death Index records Marietta's death in 1872. In the 1875 RI Census, Albert F. Remington is age 29, (second wife) Lucy is 30, son Ferdinand H. is 7, and daughter Annie E. is 8 months; they are at Providence. In 1880 Albert F. Remington is age 34, still married to Lucy F. and living in District 51, Providence, RI, with their three young children. His son by the first marriage, Ferdinand, is living with Albert's sister, Harriet A. Brightman, and family.

Albert married Marietta A. Macomber 28 Aug 1865, RI. Marietta (daughter of Elijah Macomber and Alice Unknown) was born Between 1848 and 1849, RI; died 22 Oct 1872, Providence, RI. [Group Sheet]

Albert married Lucy F. Hastings 12 Oct 1873, RI. Lucy was born Abt 1845, MA; died Aft 1 Jun 1920. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1870 Federal Census, Henry E. Remington is age 22, and is still living with his parents in Providence, RI. In the 1880 Federal Census, Henry E. Remingtion is age 32, boarding with his older sister Harriet A. Brightman and her family, in Providence, RI. His occupation is given as "job work." According to the RI Death Index, Henry E. Remington died at age 37.

Notes:

In the 1880 Federal Census, John H. A. Remington is age 21 and living with his sister Harriet's family in Providence, RI. In 1920 he is age 61 and married to Mary E., age 43, and living in Cranston, RI.

Possibly he was John Henry Adolphus Brightman -- named after his great uncle, Henry Adolphus Remington.

John — Mary E. Unknown. Mary was born Abt 1877, RI; died Aft 1 Jan 1920. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1910 Federal Census, Amasa E. & Lizzie C. Remington are living on Jefferson St. in Providence, RI. They are ages 42 & 41.

Amasa E. Remington is age 52 in 1920, living in Westport, Bristol Co., MA, along with his wife Lizzie C. (Davis). Her widowed father Silas D. Davis and sisters Grace S. & Ina M. are living with them. In 1930 Amasa & Lizzie are still there, and her two sisters are living with them.

Amasa married Lizzie Christina Davis 15 Oct 1890, RI. Lizzie (daughter of Silas D. Davis and Ellen M. Carr) was born 7 Sep 1868, RI; died 21 Feb 1932; was buried , Pleasant View Cemetery, Stone Church Rd., Tiverton, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1920 Federal Census, Myron English Remington, age 27, is living in Denver, CO, with his widowed mother, Lillian. Myron is single. His occupation has something to do with telephones, but it is difficult to read.

In 1930 they are still there in Denver, and now Myron is married. The household consists of: Lillian Knight, 57 MA, wd; Myron E. Remington, 37 RI, parents b. RI/MA, woodworker at autobody co.; Laura E. Remington, 22 Canada; Lillian C. Remington, 11 months KS; & Jean N. Ferguson, 4 yrs, 1 mo., Canada, a boarder. I would guess that Jean might be Laura's daughter from a previous marriage, her daughter born out of wedlock, a much younger sister, or a niece.

Myron married Laura E. Ferguson Abt 1928. Laura was born Abt 1908, Canada; died Aft 1 Jun 1930. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the Federal Census of 1 Jan 1920, Percy F. 25, Bessie M. 26, and daughter Lois A. 5 are living at Wariwck, RI.

From the Social Security Death Index:

Notes:

In 1875, Ferdinand H. Remington is age 7, living with his father, stepmother, and stepsister Annie, in Providence, RI. In 1880, Ferdinand is age 13, boarding with his aunt Harriet A. (Remington) Brightman and other family members, in Providence, RI. In the 1920 Federal Census, Ferdinand, age 51, & his wife Carrie, age 47, are living in Providence, RI. They are still at Providence in 1930, when Ferdinand is 60 and Ethelinda is 59. However, I think she must be the same wife, because in both censuses it says her father was born in Connecticut and her mother in Maine. This is confirmed by the marriage record, which has her name as Carrie E. Williams.

Ferdinand married Carrie Ethelinda Williams 30 Oct 1894, RI. Carrie was born Between 1871 and 1872, RI; died 8 Jun 1939, Providence, RI. [Group Sheet]

Annie married Walter S. Goff 2 Feb 1893, RI. Walter (son of Pardon G. Goff and Sarah A. Unknown) was born Abt 1859, RI; died Aft 1 Jun 1930. [Group Sheet]
