Note for: David S. Remington, ABT 1803 - Index

Individual Note: David is mentioned in his father's will of 10 June 1857, but I don't know when he was born, or what became of him, as I can't locate him in any census. I have estimated his year of birth.

Individual Notes

Note for: Charles B. Remington, ABT 1815 - AFT 1 JUN 1880 Index

Individual Note: Charles B. Remington is mentioned in his father will of 10 June 1857.

Charles B. Remington is in the 1850 Federal Census at Palermo, Oswego Co., NY. He is age 35, b. NY, and has a wife, Elizabeth, age 35, b. CT; and two children: Henry S., 8 NY, and Frederick 4, NY.

In 1860 Charles B. Remington is age 45, NY, living at Lafayette, Walworth Co., WI. It says his father was born in RI, so this confirms his identity. He has remarried to Mary E. and has a young son (name illegible), age 1. Henry S. Remington is 18.

In 1870 and 1880 Charles is living at Grand Meadow, Mower Co., MN. Mary is still with him, as well as two more sons, although the ages are not consistent. Also, there is a Eugene Remington, age 23, in 1870. Is he a son or another relative?

Individual Notes

Note for: Samuel J. Rogers, ABT 1805 - AFT 1 JUN 1850 Index

Individual Note: In the 1850 Federal Census, Samuel & Lydia are living at Greenwich, Washington Co., NY, with their six children.

Individual Notes

Note for: Henry C. Newbury, ABT 1834 - Index

Occupation:
     Date:   1870
     Place:   Speculator

Individual Note:   Henry is mentioned in the will of his grandfather, David Remington.

In the 1850 Federal Census, Henry is age 11, living with his father James and stepmother (also aunt) Jane, along with three siblings -- Sarah, Anna, & James -- and his grandfather David Remington (Jr.), aged 78. They are in Greenwich, Washington Co., NY.

In the 1870 Federal Census, Henry C. Newbury and his wife Emma are still in Greenwich, NY. They have four children: Edith, Edward, Mary, & Amy. There is no indication as to whether Emma is James's first or second wife. Since there is a gap in the children's ages, one might wonder if there was an earlier wife. In 1870, this family is living nearby Noah & Catherine Remington. Henry & Noah are both great-grandsons of David Remington, Sr.

Note for: Benjamin Remington, 1827 - 1906 Index

Burial:

Individual Notes

Note for: Leroy Remington, 1830 - 1910 Index

Occupation:
     Date:   1880
     Place:   Farmer

Burial:
     Place:   Wellwood Cemetery, South Mexico, Oswego Co., NY

Individual Note:   In the 1860 Federal Census, Leroy & Ann are living at Mexico, Oswego Co., NY. They have two children in the household: Gifford & Malon. They are near Leroy's widowed mother, Lydia, and other family members.

In 1870 Leroy & Ann Eliza, ages 40 & 37, are still living at Mexico, NY. They have four children in the household: Gifford, Malon, Elsworth, & Agnes. They are next to Lydia Remington, Leroy's mother, age 67, and Lella, 15. Also very close by are James & Sally Wellwood, Leroy's aunt & uncle.

In the 1880 Federal Census, Leroy & Ann are living at Mexico, Oswego Co., NY, with their two younger children.

The names of Leroy's two oldest children, Gifford & Mahlon, first came to my attention from Larry Hammond, in a posting at the Remington message board, genealogy.com. Gifford, age 26, is also living in Mexico, NY, in the 1880 Federal Census. He is married to Etta, age 20.

Individual Notes

Note for: Gilbert Remington, ABT 1831 - AFT 1 JUN 1880 Index

Occupation:
     Place:   Farmer

Individual Note:   Is he the Gilbert Remmington living in Lee, Allegan Co., MI, in 1880? His age is off a few years, but it is probably he and his family. There is a wife named Malinda and four children, and they are living next to an Elsworth family also from NY state. Since Gilbert Remington has a nephew named Elsworth Remington, there may well be a connection here.

Also, the same family seems to be living at Hobart, Lake Co., IN, in 1870. Here his age agrees -- he is 40, which would put his year of birth c.1830. Consequently, I will enter the family data on the assumption that it pertains to this particular Gilbert Remington (needs research to confirm).

Another clue is that one of his sons is named Joseph Henry, presumably after his two grandfathers.

The family must have moved from Indiana to Michigan between 1873 and 1877.
