Date: Sat, 29 Jul 2000
Please forward any information concerning the Wright family of Newport Ctr, VT
MUNSELL
Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2000
From: Cordah Elizabeth Robinson
I am researching the following ancestor, Ira Munsell, b. 1790 VT, d. 1857 Hamilton Co IL, married (Sarah) Vilaty UNK, b. UNK MA, d. 1843 Hamilton Co IL. The name Munsell is spelled Munsel, Moncel, Muncel, Muncell, Monsil, Munsil, Monselle, Munselle, etc. Ira is found in:
1820 census of Genesee Co NY (Middlebury)
1830 voting, land and census records of IL (esp Hamilton County IL)
1840 land records in IL
1850 land records in IL
One of Ira's sons is named Allen. An Allen Munsell is also found in an early Genesee Co NY census. This could be an older relative (father?) of Ira. We have solid records on Ira and his descendants after they came to Illinois, but we have no solid information about Ira's exact place of origin or his parents. I know there were a lot of Munsells in Vermont in the late 18th century. Ira named the sons of his first wife after patriots or military heroes - I'm drawing a conclusion here... - (Henry, Allen, Harrison, Jackson, Washington - and Richard, which doesn't fit the pattern) and his later sons were named Jacob, Joseph, and Samuel. He had 14 children who grew to adulthood. But I am unable to connect Ira to the many Munsells who migrated from VERMONT to western NY and beyond. Ira bought his land in Illinois outright - there seems to be no evidence it was a grant, so he probably did not serve in the War of 1812. If anyone has run across this name, and/or can suggest how best to pursue this search I would be grateful. Perhaps there is a migratory pattern from Vermont at the time that might be helpful information.

Her parents were James Norris (b. abt 1810, died before 1900 in Vermont) and Bessie Beebee (b. in Beebe Plains, Quebec, Canada, died in Vermont).

Unfortunately, that history is missing as is any names for those cousins.

WOODS / POWERS
Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2000
From: Vickie Elam White
Oliver WOODS, son of Benjamin and Bethiah (TAYLOR) WOODS, married his first cousin Mary POWERS, daughter of Jonathan and Rebecca (WOODS) POWERS on 5 Jan 1818 in Kirby, Caledonia Co. VT. This family was originally from Dunstable MA area (which later became Dunstable NH and Nashua NH). Jonathan and Rebecca (WOODS) POWERS were living in Weathersfield, Windsor Co. VT in 1790 but had moved to Concord, Essex Co. VT by 1800. They stayed in Concord until at least 1810 but had moved to Kirby, Caledonia Co. VT by 1820. In 1830 they were in Lyndon, Caledonia Co. VT. They were in Lowell, Orleans Co. VT in 1840 when Jonathan died. His widow Rebecca moved back to Lyndon and died there in 1848.
I am rather uncertain when Benjamin and Bethiah (TAYLOR) WOODS moved to VT. They were in Dunstable NH in 1796 and I think they were living in Lyndon, Caledonia Co. VT by 1800. And I think they were in Lowell, Orleans Co. VT by 1820. It appears that Benjamin and Bethiah were alive in 1840, living in Lowell. But I lose track of them after that. I would like to know the names of the POWERS and WOODS children who lived in Orleans Co. VT or Caledonia Co. VT, as well as the death dates for their parents. I think some of them must have remained there, married and had children of their own. Do I have any WOODS or POWERS "cousins" out there in Orleans Co. or Caledonia Co. VT?

I am seeking info on Benjamin Place b. 10 September 1809, in Potton, PQ, married Phebe Judd, b. 30 June 1811 in Wethersfield, VT. They were living in Jay when he enrolled on 4 Sept 1861, company D of the 6th regiment of Vermont Volunteers commanded by Captain Oscar Hale. Phebe died 14 March 1878 and Benjamin died 10 July 1888. Cannot find out what Place line Benjamin descends from. Need to find info on his parents names and sibling info. The family of Benjamin and Phebe lived in Jay and Newport area. Children included Anderson James (aka Alexander, aka James) b. 06 Mar 1831, he married Electa Ann Magoon who died May 1872. Other children include Catherine- b. 1835, M. 07 Aug 1859-Theodore Nutting---Mary -b.1837-Benjamin F-b. 1839- M. 11 Dec 1859-Laura A Clough--Salina-b. 1842-- Guy Butler- b.1845- M.

Anderson and Electa Magoon Place were my g-grandparents. My grandfather was George Washington Place who was born 21 days before Electa died. We are seeking info on his siblings, too. Alice C Place was about 3 when Electa died and we have been told she was adopted by a family named Styles. There is a record of her having a baby at age 13, unnamed Place-b. July 26 1885. Since the child had the Place name, the adoption is questionable. In anyway it sounds like her life was BAD. My grandfather left the Jay area at 15 and went to Jamaica, he did not ever hear or see any of the Place or Magoon family members ever again and it is thought he lived very little with his father or family members. We gathered his life was harsh and lonely but he was a wonderfully kind and loving man. Any info on this Place family line is requested but special emphasis is placed on finding the names of Benjamin's parents and siblings.

George and Lois and 4 kids were in Norwich for the 1820 census, but back in Salem with 7 kids in 1830 and thereafter. George was listed in the 1850 census as being 66yrs of age and was not listed in the 1860 census. William N. and his wife Ann Gibb married but I don't yet know where or when and lived in Salem. In 1850 the Salem census, which is nearly unreadable, lists 6 kids, including my Great grandfather Oromel, age 4. William and Ann are also listed in the 1860 Salem census with 4 kids including Oromel. William N. Johnson died in 1867 and is buried in Derby alongside his wife Ann who died 1n 1886. Oromel joined the Army of the Potomac as a volunteer in the Vermont Horse Artillery even though he was only 16 years old. He fought in the battles that occured between Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor, VG in May of 1864, and was discharged August 25, 1865. He resided in Barton until March 1868 when he left for Tecumsah, Nebraska where he married and had two kids. He left Nebraska in March of 1874 and came to Middleton, OR. (now called Sherwood) where my Grandfather was born in 1879. The following history of my family I know but I would be happy to share the details I,ve found about my early Vermont ancestors with you or whoever if you think it would prove helpful. I would also appreciate help in finding out who Capt. William Johnsons ancestors were and whether or not he fought in the Revolutionary War.ALLEN

Barau / Baraw / Carrow
Date: Thu, 21 Oct 1999
From: Janice Lodge
For some years I have been trying to find information about my french canadian ancestors. According to the 1880 US census they were living in the town of Jay, Orleans Co. Their names were Peter Carrow and his wife Agnes Barau (sometimes spelled Baraw) Carrow. In the 1900 US census it appears that Agnes has died as Peter is living with his daughter (my g grandmother) Emma and her husband William Ellmore Brock at Troy, Orleans Co VT. To date information I have seen suggests that Agnes was born in a place called St Marys Canada East around 1833. Peter was born in Canada East, Oct 1822. I am having trouble locating this St Marys, I assume it is in the eastern township - perhaps a parish rather than a town? Also that the refernce to Canada East for Peter Carrow means eastern township area. I have noticed from other Jay vital records that there were quite a few recordings for other towns people who state their place of birth as St Marys Canada East. Can anyone shed any light on the location of this place St Marys? Or any of the names I have mentioned? Perhaps people who currently live in Jay may be able to assist with the location of this St Marys? I have come across another Baraw family living in Jay at the same time, an Ambrose Baraw and his wife Caroline Duette - could this be a relation, perhaps Agnes' brother? I'd appreciate any assistance.

They had eight children, and when he died he left a very large estate.

GILMORE/GLEASON
Date: Tue, 24 Aug 1999
From: Allen Gilmore
A Westmoreland, Keene Twn., Chesire Co, NH book says that Arba & Lovinia Gleason GILMORE left there and went to Coventry, VT about 1814. We know they are buried in Coventry, N.Y., Chenango County. They brought with them William GILMORE, age two, who is buried in Binghamton, Broome Co., N.Y. There were other brothers and sisters & their spouses, and their parents Lemuel and Chloe (?) GILMORE who came into N.Y. State about 1814. We think the book is in error, they would not have gone so far north in Vermont, then come so far into N.Y. State to a place of the same name Coventry. But has there been any record or other family to show that they had ever been in Coventry, VT. Had a reply from the Coventry, VT, clerk, said the their records were burned in 1912. That seems to be an old complaint, no Gilmore's in local Cemeteries up there, and what persons by the surname Gleason are too recent to make any judgement about, but I feel sure, since the ones we know about are buried in Coventry, N.Y., the book I have with the Coventry, VT thing in is in error. Possibly the person saw Coventry and just thought of the one in VT., first?

Any how my dad never talked about his family and I so want to find out about my grand father David Sumner Steele and my great Eugene Putnam. I have all kinds of family if I can connect Eugene and Lubin. Willing to pay for any help. Lubin was born Reading twp Windsor, VT son of Archelaus Putnam. Anything on Eugene verifying his marriage to Harriet Burnham would even be a start. I mailed to VT but seem to go to wrong places as I have 28 dollars invested and not one bit of info. I Know for a fact The Sumner /Steele are known family in VT and that David and his sister Mary was born there and he later married Edith Putnam and they divorced. I never got to meet them or did dad talk about them at all so this search is for me and I dare say I am at a lost as to what I should do next. I have much material on these families going many years back, but on David or Eugene and more recent family tree it is a blank wall. Do you have any idea what I should do next? I need to find someone to do look -up and reasonable as I am in Arizona and not able to get to Vermont .

I am trying to find any information on my Grandmother, Lucy Trottier, born 26 Oct. 1874 in Newport, VT. If anyone would be willing to do a lookup at the town clerk's office of her birth certificate it would be greatly appreciated. I need my great, great grandparents names to continue my search. I suspect that the Trottiers came from the Mauricie Bois-Frances region in Quebec, Canada, possibly Gentilly, Que. Any information on the family and their members would be helpful. My grandfather, Antonio Beauchesne was born on 12 May 1876 at St. Eusebe-de-Stanfold, Princeville, Que. I have not been able to locate either family in either the 1890 or 1900 U.S. census. My grandfather emigrated to Newport, VT, U.S. via the Canadian Pacific RR on 3 Oct 1892 so I can only guess that he knew the Trottier family. They were married in Tilton, NH on 27 Jan 1896. My great, great grandfather was Moise Beauchesne born 24 Apr 1835, Gentilly, Que. married 14 Feb 1860 Gentilly, Que. to Marie-Louise Lacerte born 9 Oct 1836. Earlier generations from Que. are family name was Bourbeau. Thank you for any help you might be able to provide. If I can repay the favor in any way let me know.

I am doing research on Frederic Darling Williamson, b. at Castlebar, P.Q., 9 Nov. 1845; d. at his home in Barton, VT, 9 Oct. 1919. I would assume in 1919 there would be a local newspaper that might list obituaries. Do you know of any newspapers that were in existence in this area at that time? If you do not have this information, do you know where I might obtain it? Thank you.

I am looking for information on my Grandfathers family the JUDDS. His Uncle, Carl Judd born June 2, 1915 died in newport Dec. 1975. I believe Carl Judd's wife to be Julia and they had a son named Keith Judd. Carl's brother was Forest Judd married to Olive who may have been a sister to Julia. Olive and Forest had children Sherman and Lucille. One of their children was adopted I believe. Not sure if this is correct but on Raymond Harold Judd's marriage certificate to my grandmother in California 1947 listed Rays parents as Harold Clayton Judd and Eva Vaughn. Which would have been a brother to Forest and Carl Judd. Any information on the Judd's living in VT would be helpful. Sincerely Tiffany Luchetta

AMES / CARVER
Date: Sun May 17, 1998
From: Olive Hoffman
Trying to find my missing Ames/Eames link and think I have found it but need to know: at one time was Charleston also known as Navy? Supposedly this is where Mary "Molly" Carver Ames died in 1827 and I want to get documentation but not sure Charleston is where I need to "go". Mary "Molly" Carver was born 10 Oct 1746 in Natick, Mass; married to Thomas Eames/Ames 13 April 1773 in Dedham; they moved to Sterling where supposedly Thomas died but I have found no records of him. I am trying to trace their son Thomas born abt 1789 in Mass/VT (probably VT) who has "disappeared" or at least nothing more is known of him. Circumstantial information I have collected leads me to believe he is the one I need to complete my Eames/Ames line. Does anyone have any information on this family? The other children who seemd to all moved to Lake County, Illinois were: Jonathan Carver; Olive; Abigail Carver; Elijah. Thomas did not follow them - really sure he is the one that went to Penn. which is where my known line picks up. Thanks for any help you can give.

PLASTRIDGE / CHAPMAN

From: Kathy
I am searching for information on my PLASTRIDGE/CHAPMAN families who lived in COVENTRY. Amasa Plastridge was born in Cornish, NH about 1790, before 1820 he is in Coventry. His daughter Isabel Plastridge my 3rd great grandmother was born in Coventry in 1822--mother is listed as Lucy Ann. There were at least 2 other daughters born to Amasa and Lucy Ann, Charlotte born 1817 who married Beriah A. REDFIELD, and Lucy Ann who married David THOMPSON and Ira SESSIONS. There may have been another sister Susan or Susannah, born about 1816. In 1828 Lucy Ann(the wife) died and in 1830 Amasa remarried to Phebe HUGGINS. In 1843 Isabel Plastridge married Amasa W. CHAPMAN. He was born in Littleton , NH about 1822 to Samuel Chapman and Sarah Sanborn--I have no info on them. Amasa W. Chapman died in 1868 in Coventry, Amasa Plastridge in 1869 and Isabel in 1878. The family is buried together at Coventry Center Cemetery. Children of Amasa and Isabel CHAPMAN are Melissa born 1844, Amelia Ann born 1845, Charlie born 1851, John born 1854 and I believe a James. I would be interested in any info on this family, ancestors or descendants. My line goes through Amelia Ann CHAPMAN who married Jonathan Leroy FRENCH in Coventry in 1869, they moved to Nashua, NH then DE. I also would be interested in finding out if indexes to wills or abstracts are available. Also early marriage records--before 1820--I know nothing about Lucy Ann.
WOODS
Date: Apr 22, 1998
From: Vickie Elam White
Oliver WOODS, son of Benjamin and Bethiah (TAYLOR) WOODS, married his first cousin Mary POWERS, daughter of Jonathan and Rebecca (WOODS) POWERS on 5 Jan 1818 in Kirby, Caledonia Co. VT. This family was originally from Dunstable MA area (which later became Dunstable NH and Nashua NH). Jonathan and Rebecca (WOODS) POWERS were living in Weathersfield, Windsor Co. VT in 1790 but had moved to Concord, Essex Co. VT by 1800. They stayed in Concord until at least 1810 but had moved to Kirby, Caledonia Co. VT by 1820. In 1830 they were in Lyndon, Caledonia Co. VT. They were in Lowell, Orleans Co. VT in 1840 when Jonathan died. His widow Rebecca moved back to Lyndon and died there in 1848. I am rather uncertain when Benjamin and Bethiah (TAYLOR) WOODS moved to VT. They were in Dunstable NH in 1796 and I think they were living in Lyndon, Caledonia Co. VT by 1800. And I think they were in Lowell, Orleans Co. VT by 1820. It appears that Benjamin and Bethiah were alive in 1840, living in Lowell. But I lose track of them after that. I would love to know the names of the POWERS and WOODS children who lived in Orleans Co. VT, as well as the death dates for their parents. I think some of them must have remained there, married and had children of their own. Do I have any "cousins" out there in Orleans Co. VT? I appreciate any help you can give.
EATON

From: DEaton6746
GILMAN TAYLOR EATON lived most of his life in Moretown VT. He is my g-grandfather. His birth record was recorded by a daughter in Moretown sometime after the fact as 5 Feb 1814. The place of his birth is listed as Brownington on the birth records of the first 5 of his children recorded in VT VR. On the records for two more of his later children listed in VT VR the birth place shows as Sutton, NH. No primary record of his birth has been found, and no direct indication of parentage. One JONATHAN EATON, b abt 1771 in Shrewsbury MA appears in the records of both Sutton, NH and Brownington VT. He was in the lumber business in Sutton and his name appears frequently in the land transfer records in Brownington starting in the first volume. He appears to have been buying land in large plots, presumably for timber harvest. His children are listed in the History of Sutton, NH. with birth dates given for all but the last two listed. One of the last two was Stillman, (no birth date given) A natural child born to Jonathan and Jane Sargent could have been born in Feb 1814. Was Stillman really Gilman, or possibly a twin?

SCOTT
Date: Wed, 4 Mar 1998
From: Robert E. Scott
My Grandfather, Robert Dent Scott was born in Clarenceville, Quebec in 1833 and lived most of his adult life in Newport, Vermont, where my father was born. I have received the census records for 1880 showing my Grandfather, Grandmother, my Grandfather's two sons from a previous wife, and the first five girls and first son of the twelve children they had. These records were available from the Mormon Family Center. There are a number of places where it is possible that there might be records of interest: after my Grandfather's death, his two first born sons sued my Grandmother over the estate, or some portion of it. Can anyone advise where such records might be available? I visited Newport in July-August 1937 and while there one of these first-born sons smashed a police car with his car and this was widely reported in the newspaper at the time, and there should be some record of that incident. Where would such newspaper archives be? Information from Clarenceville, Quebec is a bit thin on the ground so we plan on being in Quebec and Vermont next October to see what we can find out. It would be of great interest to me to find out if any relatives still live in the area, but I have no idea how to go about such a search.

From: Matthew H. Burch
Looking for information on Betsy Magoon and her husband Henry Sharp(e). Here is what we have: Betsy and Henry are both termination points in our research, any solid information on either would be greatly appreciated! Betsy Magoon, Born @1790 (Canada?), Married Henry Sharp(e?) before 1809, Born @1790, Died @1809. Son Harvey Sharp(e?), Born 1809 Derby (Derby, Orleans county, Vermont??), Died 29 Dec 1877 Strafford, Orange, VT, USA. EXCERPT BEGIN - From "A Gazetteer of VT" by John Hayward, 1849, p. 54 DERBY, ORLEANS CO. - Boundaries: North by Stanstead in Canada, east by Holland, south by Salem, and west by Memphremagog Lake, which separates it from Newport. First Settlers: The 1st settlement was made in 1795 by Alexander Magoon, Henry Burrell and the Hon. Timothy Hinman. Emigrants from CT and other places soon made it a flourishing town. EXCERPT END - Derby, Orleans, Vermont might well have been the birthplace of Harvey Sharp(e). Alexander Magoon could easily have been a close relation to Betsy Magoon. I have not been able to dig up any reliable info on Alexander Magoon yet either (there are several of them referenced on the web. I have some distant cousins in the VT area who might be able to get me some data, but everything is still in planning stages right now. If a (more) complete copy of the magazine/book listed above can be found, there may be references to Alexander Magoon's family.

PROVONCHER / BELLVILLE
Date: Fri, 19 Dec 1997
From: Scott A. Wheeler
I am looking for information on Sullivan and Mary (Provoncher dit Bellville) Church. Mary and Sullivan lived in various towns throughout the county during the mid and later part of the 19th century. Their marriage produced several children, one being my Great grandmother, Annie (Church) Simino. The other children were: Arthur Church, Lilla Bell Church, Clara Bell Church, Frederick Church, and Gertrude Church. The children were born between 1870 and 1880. Although, I myself, live in Orleans County Vermont, I have only been able to find only a minimal amount of information on Sullivan and Mary. From a picture that I have of them it appears most likely that Mary was a native American. Some records suggest she was born in Derby, Vermont while other say Canada. Records say that Sullivan was born in Coventry, Vermont. At some point, he moved to Salem, Vermont which has since merged with the town of Derby. He spent three years with the 9th Vermont Regiment in the Civil War. In the 1880 Orleans County census, it simply lists his occupation as "insane". It then appears that Sullivan died many years later in an institution in Brattleboro, Vermont. If anyone can help me with my research on either the Bellville, which at times is also written "Belville" or the Church ancestry, it would be greatly appreciated.

He was married to Anna Bryant on September 19, 1888 in Guilford, New Hampshire. No other information is know. Based on the dates, he could be a son of George R.

Jonathan SANBORN (1782-1813) and Martha WATSON (1784-1842) family of Danville, Caledonia Co. (VCS Genealogy #1 109). Ch. # 1 Joel SANBORN b. 1806 Danville. Was there a ch. # 2 John SANBORN b. abt. 1809, exact place not known but believed to be in NE Vermont?

(Another 1st cousin, Anson SANBORN, slo John and Delia Miles SANBORN, VCS #475, was superintendent of the Sabbath School in East Charleston [Navy] at the same time.) Dr. John Sanborn set up his practice in Hardwick, Caledonia Co. about 1837, married Caroline HARRINGTON, dau of Esq. Leonard HARRINGTON and Lydia IDE of St. Johnsbury, and had 4 children 1836-44.

HUSE and PERKINS
Date: Fri, 12 Sep 1997
From: Kevin Spaulding
I am looking for information about my 3G grandfather Theophalos Huse who married Polly Perkins. I don't have any data about their birth/death dates/places, but I know that they resided in Westfield, Orleans Co., Vermont at least at the time that their son Joseph was born 26 Aug 1831. The birthrate of Joseph leads me to suspect that Theophalos and Polly may have been born in the range 1790-1815, perhaps near Westfield, VT. Joseph was a Union soldier in the Civil War. He married 8 Nov 1853 Helen Eliza Jackson, b. 30 Jul 1835, d. 6 Jul 1911. They resided in Stowe, Lamoille Co., VT. I descend through their daughter Grace Mabel Huse. Joseph died 21 Jul 1888.

SIAS
Date: Mon, 25 Aug 1997 16:41:36 -0500
From: Terry Nichols
I've recently have been trying to help my Uncle out in his quest to find a link from Vermont to Wisconsin and the Sias name. In an article he obtained at the Main Library in Madison, Wi., he established that a Charles Sias and brother Benjamin Sias founded basically the Sias name in Vermont. I found that Charles Sias, Jr. had a child with Elizabeth Glines. The child was Benjamin F. Sias and born in 1817. I found a Land Office Claim record in Wisconsin in the year 1854 signed by Benjamin F. Sias. The earlier article never said what happened to Benjamin F. Sias, born in 1817 in Vermont. I looked in this article and it said that there was a Durham, Vermont at that period but some question of border disputes.

I have been searching for my great-great grandfather, Ezra Bales Wedge. He died in the Civil War in Lake County Indiana. He died on 13 January 1864. My records indicate that there is a Ezra B. Wedge buried in Orleans County Vermont with a death date of 13 Jan 1863. Since both Ezra and Wedge are rare names, I would think this a very unusual coincidence that the death dates are to the same month and day, with a year variance on the year. Ezra was the son of William Wedge, don't have anything further on him. There was another Ezra Biley Wedge, son of Ezra Sr. Would appreciate any Wedge information--any place.

O'BRIEN
Date: 20 February 1997
From: Candy Bennett
I am trying to locate where my great grandfather, David Edward O'BRIEN is buried. It is supposed to be in Newport, VT, but that is all I know. He died October 28, 1936 (it is believed he died in Nashua, NH at his daughter's home). My grandfather lost contact with him when his parents separated just before my grandfather went in the service as a teenager. I would appreciate it, if anyone has access to cemetery records for Newport, if they could be checked for his final resting place. That would give me at least a glimmer of hope of finding some more info on him.
