Does anyone know what "town" (the larger thing -- the subdivision-of-a-county-containing-several-villages -- not the village) Goshen, Orange County, VT is in? My local bookstore is plumb outta DeLorme VT atlases. (I just knew procrastinating on buying one would come back to bite me one day.) Mapquest on the net shows Goshen, the village, as being halfway between East Corinth, in the east, and South Newbury, in the west. It is just a little southwest of West Newbury. It turns out that John Powell (b. 1753), son of Rowland Powell 4th and Mary Richardson, was an "original grantee" of land in Goshen some time in the late 1700s. His dad Rowland Powell 4th bought him out for reasons I can't even imagine, 'cause Rowland 4th lived in Hartford, Windsor Co., VT, maybe as another one of those wacky Powell land deals. This stuff shows up in a "quitclaim" deed at Hartford, VT in 1801 after Rowland 4th died, and his heirs were divvying up the estate. Marvelously, Rowland 4th's daughters all show up on this deed, along with their hubbies, so now I have hubbies -- and surnames -- for all the daughters! Got my aunts in a row now. No ducks, no, but aunts yes. Neat. Also got four new Powell heirs to Rowland 4th that had not previously existed, but you know how it is after the rich guy dies and heirs come out of the woodwork. Incidentally, there is no such thing as Goshen on the 1790 federal census of Vermont. 'Spose that thickens the plot a bit.

List: Have received this message from Rootsweb which has been in process of upgrading.....please read the message below as it will affect all of us on the mailing list. Cynthia list moderator ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2000 01:28:55 -0800 As was stated in an earlier (a week or so ago) message, RootsWeb will be upgrading its lists3.rootsweb.com mail server. This is desperately needed! You may have a few questions. Q: How do I know if any of *my* mailing lists will be affected during the move? A: An alphabetical listing of all mailing lists that will be impacted by the upgrade can be found at: Q: When will the upgrade take place? A: The upgrade will commence Friday, 8 December 2000 at 7:00 A.M. Pacific Standard Time (GMT -08:00) Q: How will the upgrade impact my ability to maintain mailing list(s)? A: Starting at 7:00 A.M. (PST), lists3.rootsweb.com will be unavailable. We expect the entire upgrade to take 10 hours. Lists3 will not process mail for most of that time. Q: Will people still be able to post to mailing lists during the upgrade? A: Yes and No. - No messages will be lost, though will be delayed. - Messages will not be posted to mailing lists until *after* the upgrade/move is fully completed. Q: Will I be able to use my lists3.rootsweb.com utility page during the upgrade? A: Yes, but: - No subscribe/unsubscribe commands will be lost, though they will be delayed. - When the move is completed, your old utility page will automatically be redirected to the new list server. Be sure to bookmark the new location. - If you use old-fashioned X-Commands (most of you don't), and get a "suspicious format" error, send all X-Commands to lists7.rootsweb.com instead of lists3.rootsweb.com. Q: Will anything be lost during the upgrade? A: If your list settings or files (welcome message, accept list, etc.) are updated while we are in the process of moving your list to the new server, all changes may be lost. Please be sure to review your entire list setup upon the upgrade's completion. Q: What do I do if I find "bugs" after the upgrade? A: If all goes well, there won't be any bugs to report. Right. But if you do happen to spot some anomalies (new anomalies, not the ones that are inherent in SmartList that we've been living with for four-odd years now), post a message to listowners-L@rootsweb.com Sincerely, Vicki Lindsay Thauvin RootsWeb List

I found the following story in the Vital Records of Williamsburg, Franklin Co, MA, in the Corbin Collection. It is attributed to the Gazette, March 19, 1861.The author is not identified. Carl Hommel Jonathon WELLS was one of the party who attacked King Phillip, at Turner's Falls, in 1676. In the autumn of 1675 had occurred the terrible slaughter of Blody (sic) Brook. In the following spring, Phillip, with a thousand warriors had reached Turner's Falls, and was threatening destruction to the neighboring settlements. On the 17th of May, 160 men, comprising four mounted companies, of 40 each, mostly from Hatfield and Hadley, started to attack him. At two O'clock on the morning of the 18th, the attack was commenced. After an obstinate battle, in which one fourth of the Indians fell, the residue retreated and the whites supposing their work was done, commenced to return to Hatfield. They had not proceeded far, when Phillip, reinforced by new arrivals, having still a thousand strong, interrupted their march by a most violent assault. Jonathan WELLS, who was one of the rear guard, was shot in the thigh. Though disabled, he still maintained his seat upon his horse, but retired from the fight. It being a cloudy day, he, having no compass, soon became lost in the woods. He wandered, not knowing whither, till at dark he fell, exhausted, and left his horse to escape, at a place now known as the North Greenfield Farms. His horse gone, and he being too weak to mount, if the horse had remained, laid down and slept till the morning of the 19th, when he wandered up the Green Rive, using his gun for a crutch. At the close of the day he again lay down and slept the second night. He dreamed that he should have gone down the river instead of up. The son (sic) had not been seen the two previous days. This morning, the 20th, it arose clear. He took a southern course down the river, still using his gun for a crutch; and at night had reached the Deerfield river, opposite the village of Deerfield, a few months before burnt up by the Indians, where he again lay down and slept through the night. On the next morning, the fifth from his leaving Hatfield, and the fourth after the battle, he saw an Indian, armed with a rifle, coming toward him, across the river in a canoe He had no ammunition. The barrel of his gun was filled with sand. He pointed it at the Indian. Leaving his canoe, with the rifle in it, the Indian leaped into the water and swam away. WELLS crawled under some drift wood in the marsh near by. Several Indians came to the place, and passed over the wood, but did not find him. After they had gone, he crossed the river, kept on in a southerly course, traveled all day and all the following night, and the next morning reached Bloody Brook Here faint and despairing, he lay down to die. But subsequently, making further effort, he found a dead horse, got off some of his flesh and ate it. He also found and ate some bird's eggs. It was now Saturday. He traveled all that day and the next day, Sunday, at noon, reached his home, where he lived to be one of the oldest men in the place. What powers of endurance the habits of our ancestors gave! and how true is it that any period of our past history, from the landing of the first commers to the organization of the United States government, was a period of blood and toll, the purchase paid by our fathers, for the blessings which we inherit. Of the 160 men who made up the Turner's Falls expedition, 38 were killed by the Indians.
