My main focus in the ET is Schoolcraft and Boomhower, although Sisco and Medor occasional cross over from northern Vermont. Schoolcraft: The root for the QC families is Christian Schoolcraft and Elizabeth Margaret Becker. Ten children have been found, seven with extensive families in Quebec. The ancestral line can be traced into England and back to about 1620. Boomhower: The root for the QC families is Jacob Boomhower and Sarah Kimmel. Jacob was a German immigrant born in the 1720s. Some claim a lineage for him back as far as the late 1400s although, to the best of my knowledge, this is not proven. Three of their sons (Jacob, John and Walter) had extensive families in QC. Their mother, Sarah, on her second marriage also came to QC from NY, as did another son although that fourth son does not appear to have children. Other children remained in NY near Albany. Sisco: The Sisco families are mostly in Orleans Co., VT and Franklin Co., VT. Some of the Orleans Co. ones crossed into QC around Potton, Compton, Coaticook, etc. My main interest is on the Swanton VT families, one of whom is my wife's grandmother. The root of the Sisco line goes back through New Hampshire into Rhode Island circa 1720. Medor: The Medor family is mostly around Swanton and Highgate VT. The family is Abenaki and the name seems to have been changed to Medor from Cayie/Cahah´/Cajiais. My wife's gg-grandfather was Peter Cayie Medor born about 1803. I have not been able to trace farther back than about 1834 when the birth of his son, Medard Cahia, is indicated in St. Regis QC. ---- I am David Ellis, an expatriate Englishman from the edges of Dartmoor who married a girl from Bennington VT. We now live in New Hampshire. I got into this genealogical stuff as a favor to my mother-in-law who wanted to pass on the snippets she had from her own mother and grandmother to my wife. It seems that family details had been passed from youngest daughter to youngest daughter through several generations of the Medor family. Unfortunately, she had only very limited recall of useful facts so I had to do a lot of digging.
