Narrative:

     Margaret Mariah Eveline Remington was born on 27 Jul 1848 in Castleton, Vermont.9,10,11
     She appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Castleton, Rutland Co., Vermont, in the household of her parents, John Henry Remington and Betsey Mariah Stevens.17
     Her mother died on 22 Mar 1852, when Margaret was 3 years old.18,19,20
     Eveline later recalled that never in her memory was her father was never "of good health nor strong or able to do farm work and his children had to do most of it. "She said during the period 1857 through 1863 she did light farm work out of doors while her brother James took the heavy part, such as pitching on hay, holding the plough, etc, etc. She often loaded hay while he pitched it on, and drove the horses while he held the plough. After he died she had to take his place.21
     The will of her mother's maternal grandfather, Lemuel Ransom, left her use for her lifetime of the Pond Farm in Castleton, containing about 96 acres, and a piece of wood land of about 15 acres. At her death the land was to be equally divided between her heirs. A copy of the will was recorded in Castleton deed books 28 Feb 1859, apparently to document transfer of ownership of the farm to Margaret and her four siblings. It seems likely that it was recorded after a delay of seven years from her death was because the eldest them was then reaching legal age.22
     She appeared on the 1860 Federal Census of Castleton, Rutland Co., Vermont, in the household of her father and step-mother, Annis Baker Clark.23

The mortgage was marked paid in full 22 Jul 1871.27
