I have about 300 unprocessed messages in my "Inbox" so I decided I better delete a few before I am deleted! You said you were forwarding a response from Haybron Adams. I don't recall receiving that message. Yes, I know that Bennington County is in Vermont. At my age, my fingers are faster than my brain! I still have not located the "Valley...Church" records of Manchester Township. I still have not found any additional information on Mary Smith, daughter of Nathan and Rosanna Smith. Yes, I understand about getting married and changing names. But she signed her name on the Quit Claim Document in 1838 as "Mary Smith". While that may have been her legal time, with an older sister, "Mary Ann", I could see why she may have received a nickname and that is why I can not find her. Is "Polly" a common nickname for "Mary" like "Dewey" is for "Duane" and "Jack" is for "John"? Yes, I now about the Nathan Smith in Bloom Township. I have corresponded with one of his descendants.
