Seth Pierrepont Remington (1830–1880) and Clarissa "Clara" Bascom Sackrider (1836–1912). Frederic's paternal family owned hardware stores and emigrated from Alsace-Lorraine early 18th century.
Marriage 1 : Clarissa Bascom SACKRIDER m. 08 January 1861 Norfolk, NY, b. 28 December 1836 New York, NY, d. 13 March 1912 Canton, NY.
Father: Henry Lewis SACKRIDER, b. 06 August 1809 Washington Co., NY, d. 15 October 1895 Canton, NY
m. 13 December 1832 Norfolk, NY
Mother: Mary B. HUTCHINS, b. 21 May 1815 Georgia, VT , d. 02 April 1894 Canton, NY
His maternal family, of French Basque ancestry, came to America in the early 1600s and founded Windsor, Connecticut.[6][7] Remington's father was a Union army colonel in the American Civil War, whose family had arrived in America from England in 1637. He was a newspaper editor and postmaster, and the staunchly Republican family was active in local politics. The Remingtons were horsemen. One of Remington's great-grandfathers, Samuel Bascom, was a saddle maker by trade. Remington's ancestors also fought in the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, and the War of 1812.[8]
Remington was a cousin of Eliphalet Remington, founder of the Remington Arms Company, which is considered America's oldest gunmaker. He was also related to three famous mountain men: Jedediah Smith, Jonathan T. Warner, and Robert "Doc" Newell. Through the Warner side of his family, Remington was related to George Washington, the first US president.
Colonel Remington was away at war during most of the first four years of his son's life. After the war, he moved his family to Bloomington, Illinois for a brief time and was appointed editor of the Bloomington Republican, but the family returned to Canton in 1867.[9] Remington was the only child of the marriage, and received constant attention and approval.
The family moved to Ogdensburg, New York when Remington was 11yrs old and he attended Vermont Episcopal Institute, a church-run military school, where his father hoped discipline would rein in his son's lack of focus and perhaps lead to a military career.
Remington left Yale in 1879 to tend to his ailing father, who had tuberculosis. His father died a year later, at 50, receiving respectful recognition from the citizens of Ogdensburg.
