Yes. According to Thorne's "New York Atlas of Historical County Boundaries" All of the present day state of Vermont was claimed by the Province of New York from July 20 1764 to 1767. Starting in 1767 New York began to lose territory in Vermont in stages. Seven stages to be precise. New York lost its claim to the last piece of Vermont in 1786. -------------- Original message -------------- From: "eileen bernier" <geniebug523@cebridge.net> > I know that Pawlet Vermont is very close to the border of New York state > (Washington County) Was that area ever a part of New York state?
