The voter rolls are handy to tell who's in town. Among the copies I happen to have at home, for Hutchinson: March 1803 - none March 1806 - none (but a very small turnout) August 1810 - none March 1813 - Elisha Hutchinson (I didn't look further) The 1790 census of Hartford, Windsor Co., VT shows a Zenos Hutchinson there (one guy over 16, one guy under 16, two gals of whatever age, no "others," no slaves). I can check film #0028354 next time I'm at the FHC (probably Monday) for Hutchinsons. But, Hartford, VT is The Land Of Brick Walls. And if Pat Behrens manages to find those church records, I'd really, really, really like to know about that! There are some ancestral abodes that are extremely hard to research, and Hartford, VT is a major player in that field of hopelessness. Reminds me of the placard over Dante's Inferno -- "Abandon Hope Ye Who Enter Vermont."
