In the Federal Census of 1880, Jane Cassford, 70, is listed as "mother" in the household of Dennis (David/Daniel?) & Prudence Remington, at Hackberry, Labette Co., KS.

Jane married Truman Remington 1828, Rutland Co., VT. Truman (son of Jonathan Remington and Martha Sprague) was born 28 Feb 1808, Wallingford, Rutland Co., VT; died 13 Feb 1859. [Group Sheet]

Jane married James Casford, Jr. 1859, Hall Township, Bureau Co., IL. James was born 1803, Calbourne, Isle of Wight, UK; died Between 1870 and 1880, Hall Township, Bureau Co., IL. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1870 Federal Census, his name is written as David or Daniel Remington (with a middle initial -- possibly H or G?). They are at Hackberry, Labette Co., KS. In 1870 they have two sons, Warren 4, and B. F. Butler 2. It is rather faint and difficult to read.

In the 1880 Federal Census, the family is still at Hackberry. The name is unclear -- Dennis? David? Daniel? They have three sons: Warren 14, Butler 12, and Blucher 12. Jane Cassford, "mother," age 70 Canada, is with them. It appears that Jane could be the mother of Prudence, because Jane was born in Canada, and the birthplace of Prudence's mother is given as Canada in the census data.

In both 1870 and 1880, Dennis's birthplace is given as VT. Prudence and all three boys were born in IL.

Prudence and Dennis may have been cousins.

Dennis H. Remington was listed as from Hampshire, IL, in the 8th Reg't Illinois during the Civil War.

The 1860 Federal Census has a Dennis Remington of the correct age living at Oberlin, Ohio, but he is married to Matilda and has two children, Ida 2 and Azael (?) 4. This Matilda appears to be a single mother living at a boarding house in 1870. There is also a Matilda Remington of the same age, a housewife, listed at a lunatic asylum in Ohio.

Dennis married Prudence Bell Abt 1865. Prudence (daughter of Henry Gale Bell and Charlotte DeWitt) was born Feb 1846, IL; died Nov 1900, Chetopa, Labette Co., KS. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

From notes at FindaGrave.com: "Goldie May Remington was born June 21,1898 on the Remington Family Farm about 4 miles west of Chetopa, Labette County, Kansas, to Butler and Oma Mills Remington. She married Fred Rainwater. They had three children: Frank, Florence and Freyda Rainwater. Fred Rainwater died on October 15, 1954. She later married Mr. Laughery (first name unknown) and relocated to Kansas City, Clay County, Missouri. She died there in a nursing home on January 22, 1978. I only met Goldie once in 1956 or 1957 when we went to visit my great-grandmother, Oma Mills Remington. Goldie was the one taking care of her. She was a really nice person. She worked day and night to take care of my little Granny, who was very weak and couldn't remember much anymore. Goldie had just recently lost her husband and was faced with the loss of her own mother. Life wasn't easy on the farm. I collected eggs with Aunt Goldie and watched her go about her farming chores on top of the 24 hours a day care she gave to her mother. She introduced me to the storm celler, where they kept their home made soap and the various foods that were stored there. There was only an outhouse and one recently strung electrical wire for the refrigerator and a light, and absolutely no modern conveniences that I was used to. It was really a unique experience for someone from a fairly large city in California. Goldie lived to be 79 years, 7 months and 1 day. Goldie was buried in Lake Creek Cemetery, Bartlett, Labette County, Kansas, near the many other members of her family that had passed before her." (by Paula Smith)
