Susan, I am the one looking for Samuel BURNS last seen in Barre, VT in 1880. That census says he was born in NH ca 1795 & both parents born in Scotland. I'm in NH & have hunted here for him but so far no luck. Next trip 'home' to VT I'll certainly check out the Historical Societies. Thank you for your help.

I suggest you contact the Vermont Historical SOciety for guidance in this search. 109 State St. Montpelier, VT 05609-0901 Perhaps the folks there can point you in the right direction. Or the Barre Historical Society, 46 Granite St. Barre, VT 05641
