Bev and Mary Anne, I have reviewed and analyzed some census records to assist you in your research. These are my findings: The 1900 census for Lawrence Okelley listed both Florence and Minnie Westover as daughters. I next checked the 1880 census for Melvina and found that Melvina LaVaulett and a John Westover were working and living in the Curtis Andrew's residence. This led me to search the entries in the St Joseph Cemetery, Burlington, Vermont where Lawrence is buried. *** Melvina Westover O'Kelly (1858-1932), wife number 2, is buried there. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=pv&GRid=51417023&PIpi=27576456 In response to Mary Anne, since the 1900 census lists Margaret Okelley and Minnie Westover in the same household, and since Caroline died in 1893, Margaret is the daughter of Lawrence and Caroline. A son, William, and other children was also born to Lawrence & Caroline. The other children listed in the 1900 & 1910 censuses include Patrick, Walter, Charles, Melvina, who are children of Lawrence and Melvina. Since the 1910 census states that Melvina had seven children born to her, there should be one more. Therefore, Florence and Minnie were childen from Melvina LaValette's first marriage to John Westover. Hope this helps!

Author: jashleyodell Surnames: Howard, Fortin Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.vermont.unknown/5078/mb.ashx Message Board Post: As some of you may be aware, Vermont has arguably the strictest laws in the country regarding who can gain access to their adoption records. My grandfather was an adoptee, and he even he was denied access to his original birth certificate before he died. Now that he has passed, we have absolutely no way of gaining access to his records. This was a source of huge emotional stress for him, and I would like to uncover what I can in order to see his mission through. He was adopted by a HOWARD family in Townshend, Windham Co. in the late 1920s or early 1930s. His adoptive parents told him his birth name was FORTIN. Does anyone happen to know anything about a FORTIN who entrusted her son with someone else around that time? Or does anyone have advice from experience navigating the draconian Vermont adoption records system? I'm honestly not out to embarrass a birth mother or to uncover any tawdry secrets...my grandfather just desperately wanted to know who he came from, and it would be nice to put this one to rest. It's mind-boggling what they keep sealed that would be completely available in most other states. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Willie UNDERWOOD, sentenced from Windham Co. for two years, at the state prison, recently attempted to commit suicide in his cell by cutting his throat with a shoe-knife. His recovery is probable. Geo. CONNORS of White River Junction was arrested, the other day, and fined $5 and costs; and as he could not find bail, was sent to house fo correction to work out his fine. James PHALAN was also arrested for disorderly conduct, and sentenced to two months at the house of correction; but not being satisfied with the sentence he appealed to County Court, but failed to furnish bail, and was sent to Woodstock, probably for a longer time than to have served his original sentence.
