They made their mark in a fashionable salon, the largest wig factory in the state, and the growing field of hair-care products for African-American women.[1] Born free in Salem, the sisters and their siblings were devoted to anti-slavery activism. Early life and educationCaroline was one of seven children born to parents Nancy (Lenox) Remond, a cake maker and decorator, and John Remond of Salem, who became a merchant and caterer there. Their parents supported anti-slavery causes and encouraged the children's education. She had four older sisters: Susan Nancy Remond, who married James Shearman, an oyster dealer; Sarah Parker Remond, who became an anti-slavery speaker; Cecelia, and Maritcha.[2]{{Citation needed|date=June 2014}} Together with her older sisters Cecilia and Maritcha, Caroline ran the Ladies Hair Work Salon in Salem. They also owned and operated the largest wig factory in the state. Their Mrs. Putnam's Medicated Hair Tonic was sold widely as a medicine to stop hair loss.[1][1] Caroline Remond married Joseph H Putnam. Her sister Cecelia married James Babcock.[2] (According to another source, Cecilia was also married to a Putnam man.)[3] The sisters had two brothers: Charles Lenox Remond, who became an abolitionist and orator. He was one of the agents in the Massachusetts Salem Society who traveled with William Lloyd Garrison, and was active in the abolitionist movement.
