Vermont Warnings Out Vol. 1 Northern Vt. Vol. 2 Southern Vt. By Alden M Rollins CGRS Acton Press 1997 Ordering Info: Acton Press PO Box 250 Rock port Maine 04856 207-236-6565 Years Covered 1768-1818 39,432 and upwards, people were warned out. Period of enforcement 1768-1787 and 1801-1817 Basically a person that was warned out, was told to leave town, due to the fact that they were judged to be a burden on the town. and the town wanted no liability for them. It should be noted that many people warned out, never left town, but many did. The rules for warning varied from town to town. And the enforcement of the warnings also varied from town to town.
