Hi, Joann: There is an additional value in the index cards. In a few (thankfully rare) instances, the Town Clerk's original records have been lost, in whole or in part. In such cases, the index cards may be the only alternative available. They are not extraordinarily accurate, but they are much, much better than nothing at all. I think the best approach is belt *and* suspenders. Use the index, but also search as though it didn't exist. If you find both types of records, and they agree, you can pretty much bank on it. If you find both, but there are discrepancies ... well, genealogy often resembles detective work more than it does mathematics, doesn't it? [grin] Darrell -----Original Message----- >From: "Joann H.

The VT records are not in Montpelier; they are in Middlesex, the next exit from Montpelier off I-89. The same films are available through an LDS library as well. However, these are not original records; the original records would be at the town clerk's office. Some of the town clerk's records have also been microfilmed and would be at Middlesex as well, and available through the LDS. The microfilmed birth, death and marriage records are copies of the cards the towns sent to the state. Many times whoever was copying the cards could not read the old handwriting [they weren't genealogists!] and there will be errors. The good thing about the cards is that you can discover in what town the event occurred, and if you need real proof, you can contact the town for a copy of the original record.

Hoping to find further information on Hannah the wife of Josiah Reed (Read) who died at Westfield, Orleans Co.,  Vermont in 1804. Hannah was still alive in May 1805 and probably still living at Westfield VT??   Believe that Josiah and Hannah were living at Gilsum, NH around 1790 and perhaps went to Montague MA about 1800 where their eldest son, Rodolphus, married Sally Hill in January 1801. Josiah, Rodolphus and Abijah (another son) went to Westfield Vermont in 1803/04.   Would like to find Hannah's death/burial, also her surname and parents if possible.....siblings?   Children of Hannah and Josiah were; Rodolphus, Lucy, Hannah, Ellen, Chloe, Abijah and Naomi (?)   Thanks Janice Happiness keeps you Sweet, Trials keep you Strong, Sorrows keep you Human, Failures keep you Humble, Success keeps you Glowing, But Only God Keeps You Going! 

Just for general information, the birth, death, & marriage records are also on microfilm in Montpeliar, Vt and they have several readers there for you to use. A little better than having to go to every town clerk in the state for records. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandy Childs" <jschilds@pacbell.net> To: "Joann H.

Assembly, dated Windsor, Mar. 18, 1778, stating that he "went with the militia to Ticonderoga and was there at the time it was evacuated, and served as a Lieut. for the term of fifteen days from the time he left home till he returned, for which he has got no pay as yet. The reason why he was not returned with the rest of the subalterns and soldiers was because he had not got a discharge from the Rangers that were under the command of Maj. Hoisington, deceased–He has not recd any pay from New York since the March preceding the evacuation of Ticonderoga." Petition granted & allowed for 15 days. ================================== from page 19 and 20 [76]...Strafford Alarm 20 July 1777...in guarding prisoners and the country's cattle, horses and sheep, etc. Names Joel Chamberline 3 horses Thomas Divine Amos Chamberlin, etc. ..in Thetford, as also a number of soldiers that belonged to Maj.

Hi Joann. I appreciate your adding on to my notes with more up to date information about VT's vital stat files. The Bennington Museum is where the Bennington Historical Society resides. I loved the museum and for sure loved the historical society library there. The volunteers were wonderfully helpful too. I'm pleased to hear that these microfilms can now be ordered via Salt Lake Library. Sure beats the expense of going to VT for the info, but those who will go for a visit will have the beauty of VT in their minds forever. Again, thanks for chiming in -- this good information will hopefully help a researcher out there. Sandy Childs ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joann H.

Hi, Sandy, Don't you mean the Bennington Museum Library? I know they have the vital records on microfilm from 1760-1870, 1871-1908, 1909-1942[?]. They only have one microfilm reader and the printouts from it aren't that great, but it isn't that difficult to copy it by hand. Then you will also know the town where the event occurred and can contact the town for a more complete record. The records that are available on microfilm are copies of the index cards that were sent to the state by each town in the early 1900s. In the first section, many people never recorded events. They didn't know about all these seekers who would come after! Or maybe they didn't want us to know their business! These microfilms are also available through the LDS libraries. Vermont hopes to sometime in the next few years have some of their records [the index cards, I think] digitized. I believe Ancestry.com is going to be doing it.

I believe that AARON SAVERY noted in the article below might be my great-great grandfather born June 2 1829 in Northfield, Massachusetts and died in Proctor, Vermont on March 10, 1892. BATV Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.vermont.counties .rutland/4962/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Names in this post: Albro, Allen, Bixby, Briggs, Field, Godfrey, Hinckley, Hyde, Lincoln, McGurk, Neary, Nelson, Sanders, Sanderson, Savery, Seymour, Sherman, Wheeler, Wright Rutland Herald January 9, 1866 BROKE JAIL Yesterday morning, as the jailer, Mr. Briggs opened the door of the prisoners' room, which he is compelled to do to pass in wood, a mulatto calling himself Augustus Albro, alias Nelson, jumped for the open door, and clung to it with such tenacity that Mr. Briggs was unable to knock him back, or shut the heavy door quick enough. Whereupon George Sanders, alias Samuel Wheeler, Stearns Sherman and John Hyde from Benson, rushed upon Mr. Briggs, and the negro, with an iron "jamb" which he had pried off beforehand, struck the jailer in the mouth, loosening his front teeth, and knocked him back into the hall. The whole four then "piled on," and the negro struck three or four blows on Mr. Briggs' head with his jamb, causing the blood to flow profusely. He then made for the front door, which was locked, and one of the young ladies [one of Mr. Briggs' daughters] ran for a revolver, but for some reason she could not succeed in firing before he had opened the door and escaped. ! Sanders jumped through the front window, and the other two escaped through the back way. A young Irishman by the name of "Pete Neary" started after Hyde, through the back gardens, and threatened to shoot. Mr. Briggs, bareheaded and covered with blood, also followed, when the fellow surrendered and was taken back. The others fled through Green street. Sheriff Field with a strong posse was very soon on the trail, through Green street, across Bald Mountain, thence to the brook north of Cuttingsville in the direction of "Copperas Hill," where four of the pursuers, James Hinckley, George Allen, George Lincoln and Aaron Savery, came up with Sanders, alias Wheeler. The latter drew a knife, when Hinckley snapped his revolver, but the cap only exploded. Wheeler then dropped his knife, and was taken by the men to the Cuttingsville depot, where Sheriff Field put him in irons, took him back and re-committed him. Sherman and the mulatto are still at large. The former, together with Sanders, was brought here from Bennington jail and committed for safe keeping. They were arrested for burglary. Sherman is about 21 years old, 5 feet 10 inches high, dark complexion, curly hair, cross-eyed, wore lightish colored pants, dark coat and gray cap. The colored man is 20 years old 5 feet 6 inches high, wore dark pants and a mixed sack coat. We may add that this fellow made a very narrow escape. Mr. Briggs, supposing, as it was so very cold, that the prisoner might take refuge somewhere called at every house in Green street to make inquiry. Among the rest he inquired at Old Mr. McGurk's and asked if any person had called. He was answered in the negative by a young woman who occupies the front part, and Mr. Briggs made no further examination. It subsequently appeared, however, that the negro had gone into the barn, where he was found by old Mr. McGurk, who innocently invited him to come into the house and take some breakfast and hot coffee. The negro accepted the invitation, and was really in the back part of the house when Mr. Briggs called. We are authorized by Sheriff Field to say that ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD will be paid for the recovery of either or both of these prisoners. [Note: In a followup story on January 12, the paper told of the recapture of Augustus Albro, alias Nelson. Albro told essentially the same story as above, saying the he had stayed in the McGurk barn until his feet began to be badly frostbitten, then hid in a privy on Green street the rest of the day. "He stayed with Mr. Joseph Bixby in Mount Holly Monday night. Mr. Sanderson (Officer Allen Sanderson of Shrewsbury) found him limping in the street in Ludlow." His badly injured and frostbitten feet required painful medical treatment. John Hyde, the article added, was also known as Godfrey. Two other prisoners, William Wright and John Seymour, were questioned in the investigation of the jail break.] ____________________________________________________________ Click here for free information on nursing degrees, up to $150/hour http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/fc/Ioyw6i3nEnlQJWwFEinU6xkFbuFR2INGNemXn5vPtZ1ga63ux4MJcr/

The Bennington Historical Society in Bennington, Bennington Co., VT has rolls of film on the vital stats of 1770's and beyond. (Found my ancestors 1770-1778 records.) Don't know if any of this information is on the internet yet or not, but they do have a website and will do research for you via their volunteers. May be small fee for non-members, etc., but for sure you'd have good information from a great source.
