Dear Subscribers to the Peoria County, Illinois Mailing List, I am requesting help, regarding George Rem(m)ington, who was enumerated in the 1850 Census of Peoria, Peoria County, Illinois, page 160, in dwellinghouse 535. Can anyone help me trace this man after the 1850 Census? In 1850, George Rem(m)ington was recorded as a carpenter, age thirty, born in Connecticut. He was living in the home of B.L.F. Bourland, who was a land agent who owned $2000 in assets, was 28 years old and a native of Kentucky. "Peoria" George Remington might have been the George Nichols Remington who was born May 15, 1819 at Suffield, Hartford County, Connecticut, a son of George Remington and Betsey Nichols. George N. Remington married Charlotte Lavinia Halsey, September 24, 1838 at Windsor, Connecticut. George N. Remington's son Philip Halsey Remington received his appointment to West Point Military Academy out of Illinois in 1857, which suggests that George N. Remington moved to Illinois by 1857. I have found George N. Remington in Suffield in 1842, but not beyond. Thank you for any details regarding the George Rem(m)ington who appeared in the records of Peoria, Illinois in 1850. I do appreciate it! Sincerely, Randal W. Cooper
