Hello! I am new to the list, so I thought I would jump in and see if I have any research in common with anyone. My main line of study right now is my Stanton line, which was in Franklin County, MA (mostly Leyden, also Colerain) and originally came from Vermont. Don't know where in Vermont, but I am currently looking at Pownal, Bennington County. I have found a John Stanton, living in Pownal who had a daughter the right age to be my Esther in 1790 and 1800 US Censuses. Anyone have any VR info for an Esther Stanton, born about 1786 in VT? <grin> Unfortunately, that is all I know about her--that and she gave birth illegitimately to a son, George W. Stanton, in 1803 in Leyden, MA. I find her in Leyden as head of household in the 1830 Census, possibly living with her son George in the 1840 Census (he is listed as head of household and has a woman living with him that is Esther's age) and 1850 Census as head of household with Benjamin Stanton, Sarah Stanton (pauper), and Lucy Green (pauper). I am hoping there are some sibling clues there. Other lines in Franklin Co., MA are Coates and Barber, with associated names. I am also following a Carr/Goodale line in Hillsboro, NH, if this list covers that area. If anything rings a bell, please let me know! -Tamara
