Cherryl Ball -- When you do those lookups in the "History of Hartford, VT" could you also look up the dates of "The Second Division of Hundred Acre Lots" and "The Second Division of Fifty Acre Lots"? Hartford being Hartford, Windsor Co., VT. The latter, or maybe both, might be 1779, or maybe 1776, just guessing (my guess makes no sense really, but some collateral dates so suggest). My ancestor Rowland POWELL seems to have obtained his first farm at Hartford from the above Divisions, which would date his arrival there. He got a deed in 1779, but I can't tell if that's just catch-up stuff. Lester Powers lesterps@juno.com ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
