George H. Remington

Notes:

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

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.

George married Marian Unknown Abt 1865. Marian was born Abt 1845, NY; died Aft 1 Jun 1870. [Group Sheet]
