Hi Joan I hope the following helps your niece in her quest to join the DAR. By the way, albeit with limited information, Silas is already listed in the DAR's book! Don't know if that helps you at all. Ah, yes, the illusive Silas & Judith (Graham) Canfield. I am just one of many descendants of Silas & Judith and to date the best proof of his Rev.War soldiering experience is the written statement in the book "Vermont Soldiers in the Rev. War", that Silas was, and I quote, "A Vermont Soldier serving in Col. Seth Warner's New York Company of Continental Soldiers", enlisted from Sept. 1777 to 1780. (VT wasn't a state then, so the U.S.Congress listed them with the NY contingency.) The book further states that he said to have died in Luzerne Co., PA. Luzerne at that exact time period was huge, but later separated into smaller counties. Thanks to bits of information from several Canfield researchers, we see that his second son, Hezekiah Graham Canfield, married his wife, ___ Rowley in town of Tunkhannah (spelling?), PA in 1802. Off the top of my head I think that is in Luzerne Co. It would be a good bet that the aging Silas Canfield followed his son to that newly opened land. Regarding Judith -- So far I have been unable to track Judith Graham down. There are soooo many Grahams, but none that I have found with a daughter named Judith. Check out the payroll books of "Connecticut Men in the Rev.War" (mainly volunteer militia men) as he is listed as receiving soldiers pay in 1776. The last payroll was in Dec. 31, 1776, and he is listed as a Deserter...however, two mitigating circumstances may make that a harsh word for a patriot. Dec. 31, 1776 was the end of a three month enlistment period, in that pre-war. Although I personally haven't seen the actual written records, other researchers note that in same general time period, Silas & Judith married in Rye, NY, and that their first child, a daughter, was born there too. Further, in pre-war (1776 time period) most militia volunteers came and went as family and farming duty called. The payroll record where his name is listed also states that fact. >From the internet (Google) I found the family tree of the "Rose Family". There they tell the story of Silas' sister, Chloe, who married to Samuel Rose, Jr., the son of the first pioneer family to settle Manchester, Bennington Co. When she moved to Manchester, the "Rose Family" website said "two of her brothers Silas and Timothy Canfield" moved with her. I presume that would be in the spring or summer of 1777. As it developed, Silas and brother Timothy became Patriots and Chloe & husband became Tories. Samuel Rose, Jr., was a well noted and active Tory during that terrible time. Samuel was caught a couple of times leading a Tory group, imprisioned by his neighbors, and escaped - twice. Eventually Samuel & Chloe and family moved to Canada. Their home and land confiscated by the Patriots. As I said this is all in the Rose Family tree on the internet. In 1777 Silas & Judith and family were settled in Manchester, Bennington Co., VT, which, at the time I understand from local history was a gathering place for Col. Seth Warner and other VT military. The the information I have discussed, with your niece's research to back it up, should be enough to get your niece in the DAR because everything I mentioned above is documented in printed material (especially the book of "VT Soldiers in Rev.War"). I By the way, I obtained my version from the Vermont Historical Society in Barre, VT. I am sure they help you find more back up material of that day and time. Col. Seth Warner was one of the top three major leaders in that time period (Ethan Allen, Seth Warner & Remember Baker) and was very, very militarily active. His exploits are listed in most VT history or military books of that time period. If your niece reads the history books, especially involving Warner's military activities, she will be pleased to know that Silas, after leaving CT militia and settling in VT was no doubt a "Green Mountain Boy" and a volunteer in the military escapades and skirmishes of that group. Next, in Sept. 1777, he formerly Enlisted as a soldier (a Private) with Col. Seth Warner's NY Co. of Continental soldiers....and honest-to-goodness paid Continental soldier! I encourage her to follow that lead By the way, Silas Jr., and Hezekiah Graham Canfield were children number 3 & 4, but the first boys. The Bennington Historical Society, in town of Bennington, Bennington Co., VT, is a historical society within the wonderful Bennington library and has volunteers who could help you take photos of the Birth Certificates of those two and some others. Off the top of my head, Silas or Hezekiah was born in Manchester and Ft. Edward, NY respectively. At that time Ft. Edward was an active military fort where alot of VT/NY military and British soldiers were tromping through. You know, first the British has it, then are chased out by the VT soldiers, then British chase the VT soldiers out. Quite a terrible and hectic time. I hope the above will give your niece allot of leads and where to locate the information. I've been quite ill for a couple of years and most my material is in stacks awaiting the time I feel well enough to put it in order. So I wish her well in her hunting. Which of Silas & Judith's children are you descended from?

At the pilot family search site I found the probate records for Uzal Peirson, son of Moses, husband to Dorcas, who died intestate. All the documents are dated in 1822/1823: the appointment of an administrator, inventory, real estate sale authorization, real estate appraisals, complaints written by the administrator that the commissioners in charge of the estate funds allowed several persons to drew money from the estate without basis or his authorization. Since his estate was valued at over $23,000, there was a lot of money to dole out. Here is the mystery. On one of the pages the administrator Charles Adams writes: Having become satisfied by ocular demonstration that the within named Uzal Pierson is not dead but living, I think it proper that this order should be returned and therefore return the same into the probate office. [signed] Charles Adams, Aug 16, 1823 Uzal's tombstone is pictured on Find A Grave. It is clearly marked "In memory of Uzal Peirson, who died Jan. 11, 1836, aged 72 years 8 month & 7 days." He is buried next to his wife Dorcas, who is named in the probate file as his wife. History of Chittenden County, p. 674: "Uzal Pierson also became well to do, and owned a farm near the lake, afterward owned by Ezra Meech, Jr., but was unfortunate toward the close of his life and lost most of his property. He came to his death by falling from a wagon on the 11th of June, 1836, aged seventy-two years." There is surely a good story here! Not many people are alive after their estate goes through probate! Linda Schwenn

Yes, I think I figured it out at last. I was getting too specific.

Hi, Sylvia, I looked at some of the Chittenden County ones and they consist of copies of the items that are in a packet. It would be wonderful to have them for all counties. Here in Windham County, I've never seen the packets. I think they are somewhere up in Newfane for Marlboro District, and I don't know where they are for the Westminster District! Joann Sylvia J.

Are these transcribed from records at the court houses? The University of Vermont Special Collections has most of the early probate records for Chittenden County, as the old courthouse burned about 25 years ago. They may have come here to scan them, but I don't recall that they did. I'm having trouble finding records for Chittenden County. Apparently, you need to know exactly where the decedent lived in order to search the database? Sylvia Bugbee Special Collections Bailey-Howe Library UVM On Fri, 26 Sep 2008, W.
