I find a Leonard Frost living at Phillipson, Worcester,Co., MA in 1850 census with wife Orpha aged 46 born NH and children Isabella aged 15 b.MA and Sumner aged 9 b.MA....this Leonard Frost is recorded in the census as a Methodist clergyman. Several searches on Google Books brings up info on this Reverend. Perhaps further searching of your Leonard Frost's children's birth and marriage records will provide some further clues as to his place of birth and parents ~ he certainly had a large family, so one would hope that information lies somewhere in their records. I noticed the postings saying that Lilla Frost's birth record shows Leonard Frost as born Barre VT ~ a quick check of the 1820 census for this town shows a Pheba or Phelia Frost, could this be Orpha? Maybe name was originally Orphilia? This census does not show a Leonard Frost in Barre VT...remember before 1850 the census only recorded the heads of households....no Leonard Frost snr is shown in Barre VT in 1820. If your Leonard Frost is the son of Rev Leonard Frost, then, his wife Orpha, was only about 16 when your Leonard was born in Vermont in 1819..... as 1850 census shows Orpha, wife of Rev Leonard Frost, was born about 1803/04 in NH.

Thank you, Sylvia! Our Atwood ancestors (Stephen Atwood m/ Mercy Finch) were the first settlers in the Beekmantown, NY area (outside of Plattsburgh) and I remember Adie Shields (Historian of Clinton Co. NY, now retired) mentioned the Hickok family to me and for some reason I believe they were connected to our Atwoods (there). But that family (Hickok) came from VT. The Atwoods that you referenced (from Plymouth MA) 1630's, are Stephen's ancestors. They travelled from Plymouth to Carver, MA then into VT (Shoreham), then to upstate NY. If you stumble on any Elkinses (Vt or) anywhere in New England, please let me know. I'm working on their genealogy. We are all connected somehow! Appreciated your help.

Ricky, the only Atwoods that I found were very early, in the 17th century and 18th centuries, and in Connecticut. And, the relationship wasn't direct: a daughter of the daughter of a Hickok married a John Stoddard, son of Lt. Stoddard and Mary (Atwood) Stoddard. There were a couple of references to Plattsburgh: Oliver Otis Hickok fought in the Battle of Plattsburgh in 1814; and Charles Ralph Hickox was a career Army officer who was stationed at Plattsburgh Training Camp in 1917. So, I have a feeling that this Hickok family is not directly related to your Atwoods.

I believe that the individual that you are looking for (Joseph Berard) is the older brother of my great-great grandmother Emelie Berard. My branch of the Berard family seems to have lived at St-Théodore-D`Acton, Québec, Canada where most of the children in that generation were baptised. I notice in your post that you cited St. Nazaire d'Acton, Quebec, as the place where they lived. This was where my great-great grandparents were married but to my knowledge, the Berards did not live there. At the time of the 1891 census, Joseph's parents were living at St-Théodore-D`Acton, Québec, Canada. Joseph's parents were Dosithe Berard and Mathilde Deguire-Desrosiers.

Todays newpaper  Times Argus Staff - Published: February 28, 2009 BARRE – Joshua Darling was sentenced Friday to 14 to 15 years in prison for his role in the 2006 killing of James Saunders. Darling pleaded guilty to manslaughter and kidnapping last fall in a murder case that had seven defendants and involved the beating Saunders, who was 33 years old. The sentence Darling received Friday was almost exactly the same as the one included in the plea deal. The one difference is that the 14 to 15 years that Darling will receive for manslaughter will now run concurrently with the 20 years to life sentence that he got for kidnapping instead of consecutively. ________________________________ READER COMMENTS No comments.

Ruth: I "think"the Ralph Dutton mentioned as son of Myron moved to Orleans at some time; he was a friend of my father. When he came back to the Brattleboro area, he managed the A.G.Spaulding factory on Birge Street...next to the Estey Organ complex. His daughter, Carolyn, was in my high school class. Dates would be very close.

Besides, this family lived right in my neighborhood. The DUTTON houses still are in good shape and are occupied although not by Duttons. The Shoales farm is still there but has been sold out of the TOWNSHEND family. The slate quarry is still owned by the HOUGHTON family. The John HOUGHTON mentioned in the article was my grgrandfather and I now live in the HOUGHTON house. Hope others enjoy this article as much as I did. Ruth The Vermont Phoenix, Brattleboro, Friday, December 31, 1909 MARRIED 60 YEARS AGO TOMORROW Mr. and Mrs. Adin A. DUTTON of Dummerston will celebrate by having family gathering--daughter and husband, Town Clerk and Mrs. Adin F. MILLER will observe 35th Anniversary A rare celebration will take place in Dummerston tomorrow, when Deacon and Mrs. Adin A. DUTTON, who have been married longer than any other couple now living in the town, will observe the 60th anniversary of their marriage. The observance will have a double import because at the same time Town Clerk and Mrs. Adin F. MILLER will observe their 35th wedding anniversary, both aniversaries being observed at the home of Mr.and Mrs. DUTTON, who are the parents of Mrs.MILLER. The occasion will not be marked by a public gathering, but relatives to the number of about 20 have been invited to have dinner and spend the afternoon. Mrs. DUTTON will appear in her wedding gown, which she has preserved carefully all these years, and Mr. DUTTON's attire will include a pair of fine leather boots which he wore on his wedding day and which were made for that occasion. Throughout the 81 years of his life Deacon Adin Alonzo DUTTON never has known what it is to live away from the home farm. He has been to the West and elsewhere on visiting trips, but the old farm in Dummerston has been his home from the day of his birth, which took place Oct. 28, 1828, in the house where he now lives. his life has been uneventful, but it has been honorable and has been characterized by an intelligent applicaton of his mental and physical forces to his chosen work, by devotion to his home and family and friends and by zealous effort in behalf of the church of which he has been a deacon many years. He has stood four-square for righteousness in all walks of life, commanding the respect and confidence of his fellow men. The DUTTON farm is on the Putney road, five and a half miles north of Brattleboro village and a little less than a mile from the East Dummerston station. The attention of traverers is attracted to it by its pleasant location, its tidy appearance and the maple trees and many rods of stone wall, principally slate stone, perfectly laid, which border the highways There are two houses on the place, one on the west side of the road, occupied by Deacon and Mrs. DUTTON, and one on the east side, occupied by their son, Myron F. DUTTON, and his family. the farm first came into the possession of the DUTTON family Sept. 6, 1819. The general index of deeds shows that it was deeded from the "proprietors" to Aaron BROOKS, the deed being among the first recorded in book No. 1 of the land records of Dummerston. As the farm north was settled in 1770, by Capt. Issac MILLER, the deed of the DUTTON farm to Mr. BROOKS must have been given as early as that. Gardner and Amos RICE deeded the farm to Samuel DUTTON 4th grandfather of Adin A. DUTTON. They had it from Charles DAVENPORT, and he from Stephen R. BRADLEY. No land has been added or sold since 1821, when one acre of pasture land was bought. The farm now embraces 146 acres. The land east of the road at first was fenced with stumps pulled from the land in preparing it for cultivation. A section of this fence, the last in town, is still standing. Mr. DUTTON takes just pride in the rapid growth of the handsome grove of 500 pines which he helped transplant in 1889 and 1890. Some of these trees are now upwards of 35 feet in height and 40 inches in circumference a foot from the ground. Adin A. DUTTON is of the ninth generation in descent beginning with the Puritan ancestor, John DUTTON, who came from England with Governor WINTHROP in 1630, probably from Chester. John's son, Thomas, came with him and was then nine years old. From Thomas the line of descent was John, Samuel 1st, Samuel 2d, Samuel 3d, Samuel 4th, Alonzo and Adin. The first DUTTONs in Dummerston were Samuel 2d and Martha (LANE) Dutton. They came from Bilerica, Mass., in 1767 and settled on lot No. 74, now the well-known RICE farm, which Mr. DUTTON sold in 1777, with improvements, Ephriam RICEfor $500. He died in January, 1801, at the age of 82 years. His son, Samuel 3d, born in Billerica July 11, 1743, lived on the D. W. GATES place and built the house now owned by Mr. GATES about 1783. He died Nov. 21, 1829, aged 86 years. The first DUTTONs to own the DUTTON farm was Samuel DUTTON 4th, grandfather of Adin DUTTON. He was a man of very large proportions. He died suddenly of apoplexy Feb. 18, 1835, aged 63 years. His son, Alonzo, bought the farm of the other heirs and owned it until his death, April 5, 1885, at the age of 81 years. Alonzo DUTTON was town representative in 1854 and was selectman several years. The only heir of Alonzo DUTTON and his wife, Harriet (GOSS) Dutton, was Adin A. DUTTON, his sisger, Sarah Frances, having died Dec. 12, 1859 at the age of 22 years. He attended the district schools and a select school in Dummerston Centre and on Jan. 1, 1850, he married Fanny M. KATHAN of Dummerston. The marriage service was performed by Rev. Benjami F. FOSTER, pastor of the Congregational church of Dummerston. Of the large number present as guests only two are now living. Mr. and Mrs. DUTTON lived where they do now until the spring after their marriage, when they began housekeeping in the house now occupied by their son. Mr. DUTTON has been a subscriber of The Phoenix ever since he began to keep house, and he has almost a complete file from the date of its first issue in 1834 to July, 1852. His father was a subscriber before him. In 1868 it was decided to make some changes in the interior of the west house, then occupied by Alonzo DUTTON, which was built by Asahel WEBSTER in 1803 and which contained five fireplaces, the changes including the tearing out of the old chimney. The health of Mrs. Alonzo DUTTON was not very good then so the two families changed houses. Mr. and Mrs. Adin A. DUTTON have occupied the west house continuously since then and Myron F. DUTTON has occupeid the east house since November, 1888. Although Deacon DUTTON always has worked hard he continues in good health and does his share of the labor about the farm.. "I like to work," he said to a representative of the Phoenix, "and I think it is better for me." When the productiveness of his farm was referred to, he said: "I like to see good crops, but they will not make themselves." When the handsome stone walls about the farm were spoken of Mr. DUTTON said he never liked to mend wooden fence. There are about 125 rods of slate stone wall on the place. Mr. DUTTON helped build it, but the larger part of the work was done by his son, Myron. The stone were hauled from the old quarry north of the John HOUGHTON place on the Putney road, from which slate used to be sent down the Connecticut river on flat boats. Mr. DUTTON used to help quarry slate and he and his son have laid more than 15,000 square feet of slate on the farm buildings, the fact that it needs but little attention testifying to the thoroughness with which it was done. Deacon DUTTON has been a member fo the Congregational church more than 50 years, and he attends the services constantly. He will have been a deacon 42 years next March. Three deacons of this church have lived in the DUTTON house, Aaron BROOKS, Amos RICE and Mr. DUTTON, the latter serving longer than either of the others. Mrs. DUTTON is the last of 10 children of John and Rhoda (BURNHAM) KATHAN and was born Feb. 18, 1829, in a two-story house on the putney road now owned and occupied by George TOWNSHEND and which for upwards of 100 years previous to 1860 was owned by members of the KATHAN family. It is known by many as the SHOLES farm. Mrs. DUTTON is of the fifth generation beginning with Capt. John KATHAN, the first settler in Dummerston. It is recorded in an old family Bible that "on Jun. 5, 1752, John KATHAN and his family cam to settle at BEMAS' rock on Conicut river in ye Government of Newhampshire eight miles from Fort Dummer." BEMIS's rock is located near the Putney railroad station and was named from Joseph BEMIS. That section was then a part of "Fullum," now Dummerston. he built a log house east of the present tracks of the Boston & Maine railroad and to the right of the road leading to the ferry from Putney station. His son, Alexander built a cabin near Canoe Brook, now known as "Murder Hollow brook." Capt. John came from England in 1729, and on April 22 of that year,while Capt. John and his wife were making their passage across the sea to America,the son Alexander, was born. In 1754, the year after the charter of "Fullum" was granted, Capt. John KATHAN cleared 120 acres, built a good house, barn, sawmill and potash works and constructed a fort around the house. He owned more than 2000 acres, including the land where Putney village now is. Alexander KATHAN wrote in his Bible that he arrived in Fullum May 1, 1761, from Worcester, Mall. He was the second setler andhe cleared the farm now owned by George TOWNSHEND, on which he lived until his death, Feb. 14, 1825, at the age fo nearly 96 years. the sugar orchard on that farm is the oldest in the state. Alexander KATHAN was a prominent citizen, holding town offices and twice representing the town in the legislature. He was present with his gun at the Westminster masacre. He and his wife united with the Congregational church soon after it was built. He noted religious sentiments and counsel for his family on pages of his Bible and made memoranda in almanacs for each year of the principal events in his farming business and other matters worthy of note. Alexander's gun, with name plate, and barrel standing a foot taller than a man of average height and the almanacs strung on a leather thong are now in the possession of Myron F. DUTTON, who also has the copy of the revised laws of Vermont 1797, which Alexander KATHAN used as justice of the peace. Alexander KATHAN's oldest son, John, was born Oct. 12, 1768, and died April -- 1833. His son, John, was born Nov. 6, 1790, and was the father of Mrs. DUTTON. He married Rhoda, daughter of Roswell BURNHAM of Westmoreland, N. H., and died Oct. 19, 1859. These two John KATHANs were born and died on the SHOLES farm. Mrs. DUTTON's father gave all the timber for the frame of a schoolhouse in 1843 as his share of a tax to replace a schoolhouse which had been burned. Mrs. DUTTON's marriage took place in the house where she was born. She united with the Congregational church in July,1850, and she has been constant in attendance upon its services except on occasions when it seemed best to remain at home. She is a woman of marked strength of character, one whom it is always a pleasure to meet,and she has done well her part in carrying on the farm, in teh success of which none is more deeply interested. She and Mr. DUTTON had four children, Mary E. died Sept. 5, 1853, at the age of nearly two years. Myron F. was born Feb. 12, 1855. Hattie A. born Sept. 20, 1856, is the wife of Town Clerk Adin F. MILLER of Dummerston. Jennie F. was born Nov. 10, 1864, and died Jan. 31, 1901. Myron F. DUTTON married, June 3. ----, Alice E., daughter of Deacon and Mrs. Benjamin BUFFUM of Dummerston. They have three children, Everett, Edith and Ralph. he was a member of the legislature of 1896. Adin F. MILLER is a son of the late Joseph MILLER, who was town clerk of Dummerston over 52 years. he was born, and always has lived, on the ancestral farm, and he is a lineal descendant of Capt. Issac MILLER, who surveyed the township in 1767 and became a settler in 1770 with 12 children. He was constable and collector of taxes 18 years, has been a depty sheriff 16 years and has been town clerk since the death of his father May 10, 1901. He represented the town in legislature in 1888.
