I would have to agree with the previous post. Towns and villages could not absorb the cost of feeding and caring for those who could not care for themselves. I am very familiar with the "warnings out" of folks in Alburg, VT and it was just a matter of survival, as I see it. If you couldn't support your family, you were warned out and most moved on to other towns. I have not seen any particular leaning toward Loyalists....just that they couldn't support their own family. But -- I may be wrong -- have been so, many, many times. ;-) Howard Jackman <howard.jackman@sympatico.ca> wrote: For the last decade I believed that my great-great-great grandparents were Samuel Rollins of Dublin, NH and Lucy Winch of Framingham, MA. This was based on LDS information for which "no source information is available" or "information has not been verified against any official records" as well as page 389 from the History of Dublin, NH. They had three boys, Samuel, James and Joel who was my great-great grandfather, and the boys legal activities are well documented in the late 1820s in the Seigniory of St. Armand in the Eastern Townships of Quebec. James eventually returned to the USA and Samuel and Joel stayed in Quebec. I have never found a record in Quebec of their mother's name. I recently read in a book of Vermont Warnings Out that, on Oct. 11, 1808, Rutland issued a warning out to the three boys, their father Samuel and their mother Hepsibath. In reviewing the LDS site I found that, based on source documents, there was a Samuel with wife Hepsibeth and three boys Samuel, James and Joel. In addition, according to the History of Framingham, page 446, S. Rollins married Hephzebah Winch on Nov. 22, 1792. I would appreciate comments from others who have studied this family. Perhaps Lucy was just a nickname for Hepsibah (lots of spelling variations). LDS information can often be quite misleading. My Joel is shown as born in Durham CT, Durham ON, Durham NS, Durham NH and Durham QC. I don't know if he was ever in Durham, QC but he was certainly active in the area around Dunham, QC. It would be interesting to know why the town fathers of Rutland invited the family to leave town. Perhaps it was nothing more than loyalist leanings. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to QC-ETANGLO-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
