I am related to the Towne's who came to Waterbury, VT.  I'm a decendant of (Chastina Towne, daughter of Ira Towne and Experience Grannis).  Chastina married Haverhill Smith Burley, then James Wallace. The Towne Family Association may be of help to anything relating to the Towne/Town families.  They have helped me a lot. Link:  http://www.townefolk.com/ Betty wrote:"Oops.

I know she belonged to the DAR so probably has recorded her research with the DAR. Eleanor has since died but maybe her son has the records, I believe he lives in Maryland now.

The book says there is a listing of burials at the Bennington Museum, the library, I would assume. Good luck; let me know if you find him!
