Just a couple of thoughts on this, the first settlers likely came shortly after the French and Indian War, farming was listed as an occupation for almost all early settlers but it would not resemble farming today, logging was the real occupation of most of these settlers. Most people settled here because they already had relatives here and the cost of land. The 1855 NYS Census gives all sorts information on farm production in each town, crops grown, animals owned, amount of land in production, and harvest tallies. Bob Green

Some of them appear to have ended up with alot of acres of land in Bolton! Were people who fought in the Revolutionary War given any land grants in the Warren County area?

Todd: I remember a little of that from my childhood biography of Ethan Allen. But I have a question. These were people who were from New York and settled in Vermont and then returned to New York State? When did this conflict between New York and Vermont end? Were the southern Adirondacks part of the disputed territory?

Hi: I'm not sure that I can accurately answer the question you pose for all families but for some of the families in my line that settled in the Bolton area, including those in New Vermont, I might be able to lend some clues. Not sure of my history time line here so someone else might be able to fill in somewhat better. I think that New York and Vermont would battling over the same area through whatever means necessary. New York felt that Vermont was an extension of the state of NY and therefore not a seperate state. When Vermont eventually gained its own independence then those individuals were issued "warnings out" to leave VT. Basically they were evicted. New York then issued land grants to some of those indiviudals that had supported them in the dispute. Some individuals sold their land and eventually returned to VT. Others just stayed in NY throughout Clinton, Essex, Washington and Warren Counties. I assume others as well. There is a book that has been published called "Vermont Warnings Out" that tells of a great portion of indivuduals that were asked to leave. Actually I think there is a 2nd volume now. I've no idea how to find the book. I saw it once in the Anchorage Alaska City Library. If any others can expand on this then great. I'm just throwing some ideas out there which I think are accurate.

I found the following explanation for "Warnings Out" at : http://www.usgennet.org/usa/vt/county/windham/#warnings Warnings Out During the period of 1768 to 1818, Vermont towns had a policy of "Warning Out," and persons who might seem to have no visible means of support and were judged to be a burden to the town, were given notice. Some of these people left at the warning, while others remained. The rules and enforcement of warnings varied by town. Records of those "warned out" with names and date of warning are included within the town records. Alden M. Rollins has researched these records and has published two volumes of these warnings (published by Picton Press, PO Box 250, Rockport, Maine 04856). Vermont Warnings Out - Northern Vermont. Vermont Warnings Out - Southern Vermont. These warnings may also be found included within published vital records of the towns, such as Putney and Rockingham.

I would like to know if anyone knows the answer to tehse questions. First, who is Richard S. French, who posted to a number of lists in July 2000 looking ofr information about Tuttles of Bolton who went to San Antonio? He was specifically looking for brothers of Jay Tuttle of Bolton, b 1852, who went to San Antonio. Jay had Sydney and several daughtesr including Bessie, b 1891, died in Bolton in 1977, married Fred French and had two sons, Alton who married Leona French (a cousin), and Willis, who had children Elaine and Richard. I corresponded with this Richard S. French, and he said only that he was trying to make a collage on his family history. As nearly as I can tell, no other Bolton French's have Tuttle blood at all. This Stephen S. Tuttle was also posting things on the web in 2001. My mother believes that Richard French the son of Willis committed suicide, she doesn't know when. I know nothing about Alton French's children if he had any; none were mentioned to me when I talked to some Bolton French's. Is Richard S. Tuttle living or dead, and is he a descendant of Fred French and Bessie Tuttle? When did Richard the son of Willis commit suicide? Does anyone know how to reach Terry French of the Bolton French family? Someone else was looking for his e-mail address and he has all sorts of e-mail addresses posted everywhere - though I suppose the one on his current web page might possibly work. Yours, Dora __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo! Mail - the world's greatest free email! http://mail.yahoo.com/

I can't find any specific information on this question. 19th century records clearly show that a number of people in the town of Bolton had large prosperous farms atleast by upstate NY standards, worth $1200 - $2000 in 1850, I thought I'd heard sizes of 300 acres, on Federal Hill of all places to put 300 acre farms. My mother, who grew up in Glens Falls, and my brother and I, who grew up in Bolton Landing, all grew up believing that the land in Bolton is thin, rocky and hilly and not arable. 19th century records and what I have of the genealogies of the 19th century families of Bolton show that these people nearly all came from Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts and in some cases Rhode Island in the late 18th to early 19th century. I can find only a few clues; a half paragraph history of Bolton says that the town was first settled by farmers from New England after the Revolutionary War, land in New England wasn't real arable either, everyone whose presence in Bolton traces to the time of the Revolutionary War fought in the Revolutionary War, and a whole bunch of families seem to have come from Vermont between 1837 and 1838 and settled on Federal Hill and been buried in the "New Vermont Cemetery". What brought them is a mystery. I looked at my brother and said the vague things anyone has ever told me; something about mountains and proximity to New England. Which explains little because all of that part of New England and "Yorkers" hated each other's guts during the Revolutionary War period as well as the period that led up to it and existed in a virtual state of cold war. Another inconsistency; Bolton is supposed ot have existed when Ethan Allen's troops passed through the town DURING the Revolutionary War, which is not consistent with the notion that it was founded by people who had fought in that war. I also pointed out to my brother that New Englanders wouldn't necessarily think that the land in Bolton was poor quality for farming since it resembled most land in New England and that indeed that might help explain why people from more fertile areas to the south did NOT settle in Bolton. None of that really tells me why New Englanders came to Bolton. My whole family vants to know. Dora __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!

Marion, I've been to the Crandall Library several times - largely for WING research. They don't have a lot more than what you/I have swapped in the past but there is a WING book in their family history room (which has limited hours so you would want to double check before your visit) that has older WING lineage in it - my guess is that George may have information in there. I am not in Glens Falls regularly this winter like I have been in the past or I would offer to look and see for you. You might try telephoning and asking to speak to Albert Fowler (who is in charge of that room) and see whether or not he might check for you and make photocopies. I do not know if he is allowed to provide that type of research or not, but it is possible. He is a very friendly, helpful man. I would call or write about your check cashed last September. Your request may have been lost, etc. Karla "...but those memories I have will be gone all too soon, leaving this world at the same time I do... just as the memories of my grandfathers and great-grandmothers left with them, and unless they are given and passed on, it is as if those things had never been..." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marion Markham" <mmrbm@ameritech.net> To: <NYWARREN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, February 22, 2002 10:52 AM Subject: Wings > Someone on this list told me that I could get information about soldiers > who served in the Civil War by sending $3.00 to the NY State Archives.

Someone on this list told me that I could get information about soldiers who served in the Civil War by sending $3.00 to the NY State Archives. I did, and received a quick response about Edgar Wing. I then asked for information about his brother, George. Unfortunately, this was just before 9/11. My check was cashed in early October but I never received anything. A couple of months ago I wrote a letter to them about this, but received no response to that, either. Have they stopped doing this? I am planning a genealogy trip east in June. Would I be able to get this information if I went to the Archives? Many people on this list have been very helpful and have given me much information about the Adirondack Regiment. However, George Wing is still one of my missing links. Has anyone had any experience searching in the Crandall Library? Marion Markham

Is there anyone else on here who is a member of Ancestry's census database? And, if so, have you noticed that half of the 1820 Warren County census is missing? Thanks. kathy

Looking for any info regarding children of Ambrose Potter. he was living with his daughter Mary Polly Newton and her husband Shephardson Amos Newton in Hague during the 1850 census. I believe he was married 4 times, the last wife being Polly Bardwell or Bordwell (maybe Bodwell). I know of two other children attributed to Ambrose and Polly. Ansel (also called Ansel Lyman? or just Lyman?) who m. Keziah Ward and Sylvia Potter who was m. to Thomas W. Newton. Was this Thomas W. Newton brother to Shephardson Amos Newton? Were they sons of Amos Newton? I think Ambrose was the son of Ambrose Potter Sr. and wife Jemima of Waterbury, New Haven, CT. Thanks for the help. Christopher Barttels Dayton, WA
