I've been told repeatedly that my great-great grandmother, Polly (RAYMOND) BRUNSON, was born supposedly in Alburg, VT, 19 Sept. 1804 (she died in Dundee, Quebec). I can not find ANY records for Raymonds in Alburg records, but I was recently told that there might be a possibility that she was actually born somewhere in the Eastern Townships. It's also interesting that the only censuses I've seen for Quebec show her birthplace as Quebec. Has anyone come across any Raymond families in the ET around that time???? And, unfortunately, her death record does not have her parents names on it. Thank you. Kathy Campbell

As someone that has been chasing the Brunson,Bronson,Brownson groups for a few years, I can understand your frustrations. I'm back tracking on Riley George Brownson/Bronson/Brunson who married Jane Elizabeth (Lizzie) Audette in Sutton in 1879 He went by George, but is buried as Riley George Br,etc I have the descending history to present and it includes an Arnold Baker Bronson which could perhaps mean there is a marriage with Bronson/Baker or Bronson/Arnold back there somewhere, but can't prove any of the possibles. There is also this item posted to a "pay web site" which may well explain the Riley given name of my target search. Do you have any links that might connect us?

She may have been a widow when she married Horace.
