William M. Remington

Notes:

(If you use any portion of these notes, please give credit to me, Lois Sorensen, and to other sources as noted herein.)

I have made an assumption that William belongs in this family group, for two reasons: he is living in the same geographical area as Wager's sister Penelope and Wager's assumed son Richard M. Remington; also, his first two children appear to be named after his parents.

Update: the death record gives his father's name as Wagar Remington.

His middle initial is given as both L and M in different censuses; I have used M because it is in two censuses. He was probably named after William Martin, father of Mary Martin who married Wager Hull and Gershom Remington.

In the 1850 Federal Census, William L. & Antoinette Remington, ages 40 & 41, are living at Rose, Wayne Co., NY. They have seven children in the home: Wager G. 16, Susan 14, George !2, Wm. M. 10, Chas A. 6, Silas K. 4, & Anna 2.

In the 1860 Federal Census, the family is at Savannah, Wayne Co., NY: William 50, Ann J. 51, Charles 16, Silas R. 14, Anna 12, & Hannah C. 10. William's (assumed) brother, Richard, is also living at Savannah with his family in 1860. Both of these families have a son named Wager; these two cousins are working in Butler, Wayne Co., NY, along with George, another of William's sons.

In the 1870 Federal Census, William M. Remington is 60 and his wife "Agmett" is 61. With them are Anna 21 & Hannah 17. They are living at Boston, Ionia Co., MI. Next door is son Silas and his wife Emma.

In the 1880 Federal Census, Wm. M. Remington and his wife Ann J. Remington are ages 69 & 70. They are living at Boston, Ionia Co., MI. Next door is son Silas K. Remington and his wife and family. (see notes for Silas)

William married Ann J. Unknown Abt 1833. Ann was born Between 1809 and 1810, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1880. [Group Sheet]

In 1850 Wager G. Remington is age 16, living with his parents and siblings at Rose, Wayne Co., NY.

In 1860 Wager Remington is 26, working as a dry goods clerk at Butler, Wayne Co., NY.

In 1870 Wayne (Wager) Remington is 35, living at Bowne, Kent Co., MI. His wife Julia is 38. They have two children: Malcolm 8 & Lillian 2.

In 1880 the family is still at Bowne, MI. Wager T. Remington is age 46 and his wife Julia E. Remington is 38 (still!). They have three children: Malcolm B. 18, Lillian A. 12, & Floyd W. 3.

From Lake Shore News, Wolcott, NY, 28 June 1877: "South Butler -- Mr. Wager Remington of MI and his wife are visiting friends in this neighborhood."

I have made an assumption that Susan Remington is the wife of Benjamin Servis/Service in the 1860 & 1870 censuses. The age and town are right; in addition, in the 1870 census, there is a Mary Remington age 80 NY boarding with the Hopkins family next door. (these families need more research)

In the 1860 Federal Census, Mary Remington is with the Hopkins family at that time, also. She is age 69 CT. (She may be the mother of Philander Remington in the 1850 census at the same town. Who is he?)

Susan — Benjamin Servis. Benjamin was born Abt 1834, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1870. [Group Sheet]

In the 1850 census, George Remington is age 12, living with his parents and sbilings at Rose, Wayne Co., NY.

In the 1860 census, George Remington is age 22, boarding/living at Butler, Wayne Co., NY. He and Wager H. Remington are working together as farm laborers. Wager appears to be his cousin, not his brother, because of his middle initial and his age.

I have made an assumption that George Remington, age 30 in the 1870 Federal Census, is the George from this family group. He is living at Savannah, Wayne Co., NY, which is the town where his parents were living in 1860. In 1870 George has a wife, Marian, and two children, Herbert & Minnie. Also there is Mary (Remington or Bixby), age 58 NY. (Bixby has a line through it, suggesting that her name is the same as George's.) Could she be his aunt?

George H. Remington of Savannah, NY, was in the Civil War. He was an Orderly Sergeant on 31 Jul 1862 in the 111th Infantry Co. B. George was wounded in the Battle of the Wilderness on 5 May 1864, as also were his cousins Wager H. and Edgar Remington. George was discharged 23 May 1865.

Notes:

In the 1910 Federal Census, Floyd W. Remington is living at Ionia, Ionia Co., MI. His wife is Corrine (?), and they have been married 10 years.

In 1920 Floyd & Loretta are living in Detroit, Wayne Co., MI. With them is Emma Passage, mother-in-law.

In 1930 they are still at Detroit. Floyd's wife is Loretta C. I am not sure if this is the same wife as in 1910, because Loretta's age has been inconsistent.
