Is he the William B. Remington who married Martha E. Thompson in RI on 19 Nov 1863? (She was b c1827, d 10 Aug 1873 RIDI) But see information below, from A. B. Gerard.

The Northbridge, MA, VRs transcribed at NEGS web site have his dob as 3 Sep 1827. However, this seems too close to his sister Elizabeth -- unless one of their dates is incorrect. Or, they may have been twins born three months apart -- a possibility .

From A. B. Gerard on Remington message board at ancestry: "Benedict Remington and Mary Cathcart's son, William Benedict Remington, ended up in Kansas. There are military records of his enlistment from Whitinsville, Northbridge, MA. He served at a few forts in Texas that protected the Overland Mail Route and then upon discharge moved to Kansas in the late 1850s. He died there sometime before 1880. He married a woman named Julia Ann Johnson of Arkansas. They had at least two children, Mary Frances Remington (wife of Alexander Mills) and John Remington."
