While investigating an Orcutt line that showed up near Cambridge NY I noticed that some branch(es) of that family had shown up in northern VT in 1840 (mostly Swanton). That might be a good place to look for births. In addition to that I have a Clark Boomhower who married Sarah Amelia Orcutt in Stanbridge 12 March 1850 with witnesses Simon Orcutt and Jane Orcutt. Sarah is living in Farnham at the time of her marriage and is claimed to have been born on 7 Jul 1832 in QC but I have not located the citation for that date. (I can verify the year of birth, just not the date.) Sarah is claimed to have died 16 Oct 1871 although I am also missing a citation for that date. Sarah's age and location suggests there might be a connection to your Caroline. Should you discover one I would be interested in hearing about it.
