I have long wondered if the SLEEPER family of Newport Vermont has any connection to my SLEEPER's of Stanstead County, Quebec. The family still lives in Newport and I tried contacting them re: genealogy research by snail mail to no avail a year or so ago. Today I found GEORGE SLEEPER & wife, listed in a directory for Newport and from there found him in the 1880 US CENSUS. He was born in New Hampshire as was my SLEEPER pioneer to Stanstead County. Here is what I have gathered on GEORGE SLEEPER. Child, Hamilton, Gazetteer and business directory of Lamoille and Orleans Counties, Vt., for 1883-84 Syracuse, N.Y.: H. Child, 1883, 734 pgs.
