Introduction:
The "Map of Caledonia County, Vermont
From Actual Surveys under the direction of H. F. Walling" was created
about 1858. Since the process of compiling the information for a map of
this nature takes some time, it is likely that land was bought and sold, and
people relocated during the course of the project. It is, therefore,
possible that someone who recently moved to the area may not have been
included, while names of others who had already relocated away from the area
still appear.
Due to the age, condition, and
typeset style, many names are difficult to decipher. When names or
letters within names were NOT able to be discerned with a reasonable degree of
confidence, they are placed within brackets [ ].
The names which appear on this
map are listed below, in alphabetical order by surname, followed by the name of
the town/township in which they appear, then, the name of the village within
the town when the name was associated with a specific village. Following
the town and village names, the structure or business which may have been
associated with the name is identified when applicable.
The interpretation of the
following listing is included as an example:
Listing:
CHAMBERLAIN, Miss
: Peacham, Peacham Corner
Interpretation:
Miss CHAMBERLIN is
reported, on the 1858 map, with the listings for the village of Peacham Corner,
which is within the town/township of Peacham, Caledonia County, Vermont.
When the same name appears more
than once on the map, it has been listed as many times as it occurred. No
attempt has been made to determine whether the same person was actually listed more
than once, or whether there were people who simply shared the same name.
It is believed that in some cases, these may be explained by the existence of
fathers and sons who share the same name.
Following the list of names which
appear, there are listings of the Businesses
and Natural Features reported, within Goshen Gore, on the 1858 Map of
Caledonia County, Vermont.

included due to the condition of the map and/or readability.
