Hi Jone I have been researching the Chiltons and the Johnsons of Vermont who subsequently moved to Clarenceville, Quebec and then to Perth, Frontenac. My line starts with William Chilton 1783, son of John Robert 1762 of Alburg, Vermont. I do not seem to have a Lucretia in my line but I have come across Blodgetts. Sorry that I cannot help at this time but if you stay in touch we may be able to share info even just locations to search. Shirley Sinclair
Is anyone researching Chilton's ? Email Jone below From: DJLMudpuppy@aol.com [mailto:DJLMudpuppy@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, March 27, 2010 3:38 PM To: missisquoigenealogy@gmail.com Subject: Lucretia M Chilton 1823 Lucretia M Chilton b. 7 May 1823 Canada/French near alburg, VT Married Orville Blodgett 1845 Alburg, VT Son Ephraim was born in Canada. They lived in the Swanton area and Lucretia died 1859 and is buried in Church Street Cemetery, Swanton. I am trying to find out which of the Chilton Families in Canada she belongs to. She is my GR.GR. Grandmother. Her daughter was named Millicent and I believe Lucretia's Middle name was Millicent as her middle initial was "M" Thank you for your help. Jone Blissett Johnson (GR.Grandfather Blissett m. Millicent Chilton the daughter of Lucretia)
Greetings. I am trying to work my way around a brick wall concerning my great-grandmother Effie May STRITE nee PELLS b.1867 in Quebec. Sometime after 1870 Effie May was adopted by Charity Elizabeth STRITE nee RHICARD (b.1822 in Missisquoi, d 1894 Missisquoi). Effie May also had a sister, Elizabeth RICHARD nee PELLS b. 1866 in Quebec, who is listed on an 1888 church baptism record that describes her as the adopted daughter of William Johnson RHICARD. This adoption would also have occurred sometime after 1870 as I have a US census record with the two girls and their birth parents James Leslie PELLS and Marion Frances KATELL living in Minnesota. This couple married in 1864 in St. Armand West. The PELLS were living in the area. KATELL is from Vermont, but her mother is Margaret Maria MERRICK, who was born 1819 in Philipsburg, Missisquoi. I have been able to determine that Charity Elizabeth RHICARD and William Johnson RHICARD were brother and sister. They are two of six children of William RHICARD and Catherine SHUFELT. William and Catherine lived in the Pigeon Hill area when they were raising their children and I believe I saw somewhere that they are buried in Pigeon Hill. I have no idea why this brother and sister each adopted one of the two girls and I am looking for the link between the RHICARD family and the PELLS/KATELL/MERRICK family. In a perfect world I would find adoption records. I am also looking for any information about Elizabeth as we did not know she existed until recently. Any thoughts, insight, help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

My Grandmother was Mabel Grace Gilligan born Stanbridge, Quebec, on 10th Dec 1879, and emigrated to Scotland about 1893 ( still to find her name on the Immigrant ships arriving in the UK). She died in Scotland on 20th Nov 1966 without providing much info on her Canadian family. Through Drouin records and other sources I have acquired some knowledge of her family and in conjunction with a distant and long lost relative in the USA am currently concentrating on an Edward Gilligan. He emigrated to Burlington, Vermont, around 1885 and seems to have lived in various States in the area - Maine, Mass etc - and indeed served in the Spanish Wars of 1898(2nd Mass.Infantry) where he contracted Malaria and various other ailments. He subsequently died in a Soldiers Home in Johnston City, Tennessee in 1914 aged 48 years. He spent years between the end of the Spanish Wars and his death making application for a Pension (without success despite several appeals). In one of his Depositions he gives his Next of Kin as Marian Gilligan (my Gr-Grandmother) living at Rosenberg, Canada. Can anyone tell me where Rosenberg might be? I have `googled` the name with only Texas shown. Thanks Jim

John, Matthew), was born Nov. 16, 1768, in Ashford, Conn. He went with his parents to Rockingham, Vermont, where the U. S. Census show him to have lived in 1790. The records of the First Church of Rockingham show that he married Dorothy Whitcomb, daughter of Nathaniel Whitcomb, May 19, 1784.* Turner Wing was appointed on a committee in Rockignham, March 28, 1792, to divide the town of Rockingham into school districts. His own district was comprised of the Monsons, Obers, Barrettes, and thence to Westminster line. Turner was a farmer and lived most of his life at Dunham, Canada, where his wife, died, March 25, 1825, and where he himself died, Jan. 25, 1832.

>From Gar Watson watson.gar@gmail.com ( contact him if youd like to compare notes ) I have been tracing the descendants of my ancestors James King and Deliverance Harriman. Five of their children married children of Aaron Noyes and Betsy Ladd, while another married a niece of Aaron Noyes. My line is through James and Deliverance's daughter Polly King who married Aaron and Betsy's son Trueworthy Noyes. I have recently learned that following his 1830 appearance in the Orange county, VT census, and before he and Polly were listed with his daughter Delia (Noyes) Hunt and son-in-law Ormond Hunt in the 1850 Boston, Ionia co., MI census, Trueworthy had lived in Potton, Quebec along with his brother Aaron who had married Polly's sister Betsy King. Aaron and Betsy's son Heman Brown Noyes married Potton native Sarah W Powell and raised a family there, including most notably John Powell Noyes. Paul M Noyes has a very good website on the Noyes family. http://www.noyesgenealogy.net/getperson.php?personID=I10269 <http://www.noyesgenealogy.net/getperson.php?personID=I10269&tree=noyes> &tree=noyes NOYES, John Powell, K.C.Advocate.

By George Maclean Rose http://books.google.com/books?id=QftYAAAAMAAJ Noyes, John Powell, Q.C., Advocate, Waterloo, Quebec province, was born at Potton, county of Brome, Quebec, on the 15th September, 1842. His father, Heman B. Noyes, was of English descent, corning to Canada from Tunbridge, Vermont, where six generations of the family are buried. His mother, Sarah Powell, is also of English descent, but was born at Potton, Quebec. The subject of this sketch was educated at Bangor, Franklin county, N.Y., and at Fort Covington Academy. In 1861 he settled at Waterloo, studied law first with Huntington & Lay, and afterwards with Hon. Mr. Laframboise ; graduated at the law school connected with St. Mary's College, Montreal ; was admitted to the bar in October, 1866, and was created a Queen's counsel hi 1879. He has held the offices of ' secretary-treasurer of the township of Shefford and village of Waterloo, chairman of the Waterloo school board, special commissioner of Bolton lands, batonnier of the Bedford bar, and is at present batonniergeneral of the bar of the province of Quebec. He has been secretary-treasurer of the Stanstead, Shefford, and Chambly Railway for more than ten years. In 1864 he became editor of the Waterloo Advertiser, and continued to be so until 1875, making the paper a strong exponent of the principles of the Liberal party, as well as a very readable general newspaper. He is a leading member of the Masonic Order in his district; was worshipful master of his lodge for three terms ; first principal of the R.A. Chapter; and grand Z. of Grand Chapter of B.A.M., of Quebec, for 1885 and 1886. He has taken part in all political contests, and in municipal affairs, since 1860 ; has been secretary, and later chairman, of Shefford County Reform Club for many years ; and this has kept him in politics a great deal, as it has been remarked that this county seems to have a political contest always on hand. As if to make good our words, a contest is now (February, 1888) going on, and Mr. Noyes has been selected by the Reform or national convention of the county as its candidate; but in a county where the parties are so evenly divided, it is always difficult to tell in advance who will be elected. In religion, he is Protestant, and belongs to the Church of England ; has often been a delegate to the Synod, and a valued member of various committees there. He was married, in November, 1867, to Lucy A., daughter of Joseph Merry, of Magog, Quebec, whose father was one of the early pioneers there, by whom he had issue six children, only four of whom are now living. Mrs. Noyes graduated before her marriage, at McGill Normal School, with academy diploma, and is at present provincial superintendent of the department of physiology and hygiene of the Women's Christian Temperance Union of the province of Quebec. History of Brome County, Quebec By Ernest Manly Taylor p 251-255 Powell. Mrs. Woodbury's paternal grandfather was William Powell. He came from Plymouth, N.H. She thinks the name has been changed to Chester or Chesterfield. William Powell had five sons : David, Benjamin, Joseph, William and Daniel. His daughters were Comfort and Nancy. Nancy and David never came to Canada. Comfort married Theophilus Tilton of Bolton. William Powell ist and his wife Betsey Tolford came to their son Daniel's, with whom they died. William Powell, jun., or II, married Pamelia Wadleigh. Their children were John W., born October i3th, 1803, married Deborah Runnells, died March 2nd, 1841 ; Roxana, born October 21st, 1805, married John Powell, her cousin, died November, 1906; Palmyra, born July gth, 1807, married Benjamin Blanchard, died November 28th, 1854; Dolly, born June 22nd, 1809, married Dr. Amos Winnet Lay, son of Land Surveyor Amos Lay, died November 28th, 1853; Sally, born May 22nd, 1813, married Heman B. Noyes, died July 27th, 1900; Amanda, born April 22nd, 1816, married Hiram Hoskins; Betsey Callista, born April 29th, 1818, married Harvey Merriman Woodbury. Sally (William, William), married Heman B. Noyes. Their children were: Mary E., born 1835, married Stewart Drew, died April, 1907; Laura, born July 22nd, 1837; Phila G., born July 4th, 1840, died November 4th, 1861; John Powell, born September 15th, 1842, married Lucy A. Merry; Almon H., born December, 1844, married Louisa Brown, died May 5th, 1854; Laura, died unmarried; George Henry, died when an infant. THE POTTON NOYES FAMILY. About the year 1830 Heman B. Noyes came from Tunbridge, Orange Co., Vt., and settled in what was called the Sweat District, in Potton, where, in 1834, he married Sally Powell, fourth daughter of William Powell, of Potton, near what is now called Potton Springs, formerly Rexford Corners. A few years later came his uncle, Trueworthy Noyes, with his two sons, William K. and Hiram. They all acquired land along the Missisquoi River in Potton, but only remained a few years, subsequently emigrating to the west. Heman B. had several children born in Potton, among whom being the only one now living in this Province was John P. Noyes, K.C. and Joint Prothonotary of the Superior Court, District of Bedford. They were descendants of the old Puritan stock which had settled in Newbury, Mass., in 1634, from whence their descendants have scattered all over the continent. Their first American ancestor, who was the first to leap ashore at Newbury, Mass., as a commemorative rock placed on the spot records, was Nicholas, son of the Rev. William Noyes, Rector of Chowderton or Chodderton, Wiltshire, England. The descent from the latter to the Potton Noyeses runs as follows: Nicholas, born 1615, died 1701; John, born 1645, died 1716; Samuel, born 1691, died 1729; John, born 1720, died 1770; Aaron, born 1752, died 1821; Aaron, born 1776, died 1824; Heman B., born 1803, died 1876; John Powell, born 1842. Trueworthy Noyes was a son of the first Aaron Noyes and Bette Ladd, born 1774, married Polly King. His children were William K. and Hiram, above-mentioned, and Hiram married Augusta Bowen of Potton. John P Noyes wrote at least three historical books, so I wonder if he left anything more on his family and ancestry with your society. I would be very interested in learning if he wrote anything on his great grandfather James King, who apparently came to North America from the British Isles serving in the French and Indian War. He was claimed to have served with General James Wolfe and was allegedly with him when Wolfe was mortally wounded. http://genforum.genealogy.com/king/messages/19785.html http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nhgraft3/images/James%20King%20of%20Haverh ill.pdf <http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/%7Enhgraft3/images/James%20King%20of%20Hav erhill.pdf> Prior to this project and a similar one on tracing the descendants of my ancestors John White and Jemima Coolidge, I had never heard of your area. I find it interesting that two different family clans from two different counties in Vermont had branches that settled in Brome. John White and Jemima Coolidge's granddaughter Dorothy Whitcomb, daughter of Nathaniel Whitcomb and Lucy White, who married Turner Wing also settled in the area. There is a Wing family association that also traces the descendants of that branch. http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=DESC <http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=DESC&db=mewingnut&id=I20 04168> &db=mewingnut&id=I2004168 Thanks - Gar Watson
Hi John Goff. The earliest of our Goff ancestors is Zacharias Goff who immigrated from England in the early 1820s. He was born Kenton, Devonshire, England in 1787 and died in Leeds Village, Megantic County, Quebec, Canada in 1874. He came to Canada with a daughter, Sarah Goff and possibly a son, Thomas. Zacharias had three wives and some sources list more than thirty children. I have twenty that I have found. Some of these removed to the USA. There is a tiny cemetery on the Goff farm in Leeds that is not much more than 30 feet square. >From what you indicated in your email, I do not think the families are the same, but one never knows.

Thank you. I was suspecting a connection to my Sears family in Sutton, but I'm now thinking they likely weren't related to the Saffords.

Ernie, I am Sue Goff's husband John, and am the one who knows most about the Goffs. There are about half a dozen Goff lines in the United States, whose interrelationship (probably in England) is not known. I am from the Maryland Goff line, which is associated with the "Four Brothers": James, John, Thomas, and Salathiel, who landed in Maryland around 1760-70. This line is well-researched. If you are from this line I can steer you in the right direction. Who is the earliest Goff ancestor that you know about and are derived from? For other lines, there is the Goff/Gough Association and you can get in touch with them from their website. I was in correspondence with a Goff whose predecessors immigrated to Newfoundland, and afterwards to the U.S. I thought I had notes on correspondence with him but I can't find them. His name is John A. Goff, on the staff at Univ. of Texas in Austin (goff@ig.utexas.edu). There are lots of unanswered questions about the Goffs, and if you have information to be added it will be welcomed. John Goff can-qc-missisquoi-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > Today's Topics: > > 1.

Hi Paula - Thanks for the explanation and WOW what a treasure for those families!

I stumbled across them quite by accident. They are a collection of letters to and from the Galusha and Armstrong families, (from the mid to late 1800’s, though there are a few from earlier than that), who were related by the marriage of Aaron Leland Galusha to Sarah Armstrong. They were donated to the Lowell National Historical Park. People in the letters: Amy Galusha, also known as Nin, wrote a majority of the letters. She worked in mills in Lowell and in Vermont. Also her mother Polly Larabee Galusha, who was married to William Galusha. They lived in Berkshire, VT. Amy’s siblings: Helen Jane Galusha who married William Kendall. They moved to Wisconsin. Aaron L. Galusha “Lele or Leal” married Sarah Armstrong. Arvilla Galusha “Vill” who married George Drent. Mattia Galusha married Orrin Taft. William Galusha married Mattie. The Armstrongs that either wrote letters or are mentioned in them- Samuel Armstrong- he spent years in the Oregon territory and worked as a minor. Several of the letters are from him detailing Indian Wars and his time out west. George Armstrong, Sarah Armstrong and Sarah Ann Armstrong (Sarah Crellar), Sarah Booth, Marshall Armstrong. There are some letters to/from Lucretia Le Frary of Sutton. Also some letters written during the Civil War by a family friend.. There are tons of other people mentioned in the letters, in chats about day to day life. Some that I can think of: Leafy Stanhope, Elizabeth Carty, Robert Carty, Sarah Clark, someone named Plantina, Elin Whitney, William Booth, “Dorinda”, --- On Tue, 2/2/10, ShonHal@comcast.net <ShonHal@comcast.net> wrote: > From: ShonHal@comcast.net <ShonHal@comcast.net> > Subject: Re: [CAN-QC-MISSISQUOI] Roll Call:Armstrong, Crellar, Dhu/Dew, Hollenbeck, Dayton > To: can-qc-missisquoi@rootsweb.com > Date: Tuesday, February 2, 2010, 10:04 AM > > > I am just curious - what are the Galusha Letters?

Oh my Oh my, what are the ways to read these letters. You mentioned my ancestors in the last paragragh. Robert Carty was my 4th greatgrandfather and I believe Elizabeth ( Elizabeth might have been an Armstrong ) could have been his mother. OH please let me know as soon as possible.

I stumbled across them quite by accident. They are collection of letters to and from the Galusha and Armstrong families, (from he mid to late 1800’s, though there are a few from earlier than that), who were elated by the marriage of Aaron Leland Galusha to Sarah Armstrong. They were onated to the Lowell National Historical Park. People in the letters: Amy Galusha, also known as Nin, wrote a majority of the letters. She worked in ills in Lowell and in Vermont. Also her mother Polly Larabee Galusha, who was arried to William Galusha. They lived in Berkshire, VT. Amy’s siblings: Helen Jane Galusha who married William Kendall. They moved to isconsin. Aaron L. Galusha “Lele or Leal” married Sarah Armstrong. Arvilla alusha “Vill” who married George Drent. Mattia Galusha married Orrin Taft. William Galusha married Mattie. The Armstrongs that either wrote letters or are mentioned in them- Samuel rmstrong- he spent years in the Oregon territory and worked as a minor. Several of the letters are from him detailing Indian Wars and his time out est. George Armstrong, Sarah Armstrong and Sarah Ann Armstrong (Sarah rellar), Sarah Booth, Marshall Armstrong. There are some letters to/from Lucretia Le Frary of Sutton. Also some letters ritten during the Civil War by a family friend.. There are tons of other people mentioned in the letters, in chats about day to ay life. Some that I can think of: Leafy Stanhope, Elizabeth Carty, Robert arty, Sarah Clark, someone named Plantina, Elin Whitney, William Booth, Dorinda”, -- On Tue, 2/2/10, ShonHal@comcast.net <ShonHal@comcast.net> wrote: > From: ShonHal@comcast.net <ShonHal@comcast.net> Subject: Re: [CAN-QC-MISSISQUOI] Roll Call:Armstrong, Crellar, Dhu/Dew, ollenbeck, Dayton To: can-qc-missisquoi@rootsweb.com Date: Tuesday, February 2, 2010, 10:04 AM I am just curious - what are the Galusha Letters?

I am descended from George L. Here is what I know about Samuel: Born Dec 10, 1827 and baptised July 13, 1828 at Frelighsburg Holy Trinity Anglican Church. He was married to Rachel Booth (1839-1915), daughter of Joshua Booth and Sara Taylor, around 1859. I know nothing of an Isabella Armstrong, and in fact if Rachel's date of birth is correct I don't believe that would be their child. I think there was a child, Florence Adelaide Armstrong born 1861 and died 12 December 1871 in Berkshire, VT. I believe Samuel died around 1869 in Vermont. Rachel then married William Armstrong (Samuel's brother) around 1872. William had been married to Mary Jane (Ann?) Booth, sister to Rachel. Mary Jane died in 1871. I'm not sure if you are familiar with the Galusha Letters- they are a collection of letters donated to a museum in Lowell, MA. I can tell you more about them if you are not familiar. Anyway Samuel wrote several of those letters, and I can send you transcripts if you are interested. My questions on the Armstrongs have to do with George. I have seen conflicting documents asying he was born in Canada and he was bornn in Ireland. I am also trying to find a ship's manifest for the Armstrong's journey.
