There are 9 cases between 1870 and 1880. I received the case citations and decisions from the Superior Court of Windsor, but need the original case records to figure out what happened since the decisions say little or nothing. Got the box numbers for the cases from Middlesex. I contacted two individuals listed on the Vermont Historical Society site, but one can't do it until May and the other doesn't do research anymore.

I looked through some of your other posts concerning this family and it seems that this could be the family you are looking for. However, the dates seem to be a bit off if he was a member of the Vermont conventions in 1776 while his family was still in Lebanon 1773-1784. I believe that he is the son of John and Priscilla (Goodwin) Jones. I do not know who the parents of Mary Knox are however. But perhaps this info. will give you some more to go on. The New England Historical and Genealogical Register 1920 Vol. LXXIV, lists the baptism of a Reuben Jones, the son of John and Priscilla in the Second Church of Berwick, Me. on May 1 1761. Let me know what you think of this and if this could possibly be the family you have been searching for. Can you send me what you have on this line? I would appreciate it.

"Do you have any information on: Samuel Spear bo about 1804 PA/OH who married Jane Bryan (b 1812 OH) Samuel died 30 Nov 1875 in Jones Co., Iowa - I have been unable to find the parents of Samuel or Jane." There are some dozen or more Samuel Spear's in the book. I looked at some born about the time you mentioned and did not find a match. I also looked for Jane Bryan and did not find any listing for her. Sorry.
