Jerry, I have your pension file. I came home Thursday afternoon, and it was such a glorious day, my wife "forced" me to take her golfing. Since then I have had to return to work. So, no progress will be made on abstracting until at least Monday, my next day off. The file gives us no mention of Remington, but does contain at lot of good info. Stephen could well be H. instead of A. I will persue him on my next trip to the Archives. Crosby did marry Rose Negus, and I think I remember it taking place in Burr Oak. Anyway, it will come out when I can abstract it. I'll get back to you when the abstract is done, and will mail you the photocopies when I'm done.
