That helps a lot. I have those censuses here on microfilm so it's time for me to do more home work. He has to tie in somewhere. I have a PAF of over 109,000 interrelated people for this immediate area and a connection is bound to show up. I'll be in VT & ME later this year where there are some great libraries and old genealogies. I'll post when I do find something.
