Hoping to find further information on  Fannie Perkins born about 1832, most likely in one of the ETs ~ maybe in Brome County?? Parents names??   Fannie Perkins married about 1849 Royal Reed (Read?) the son of Rodolphus Reed of Westfield VT. Royal Reed was born 28 March 1822 in Westfield VT, he died 21 Aug 1851 in Westfield VT.   Royal and Fannie are listed in the 1850 US census at Westfield along with their first child, a daughter, named Asenath who is 8mths old at the time of the census,  as the census was taken on the 10 Sep 1850 Asenath Reed was most likely born January 1850....   With Royal Reed dying in 1851 I have lost track of what happened to Fannie and Aseneth. There may have been another daughter, Lydia Ann, perhaps born after Royal's death?   Further info appreciated, thank you Janice And there are men who scale the mountain steeps And there are men who sink in ocean's deeps, And there are men why on deserts die, And other men to starry heavens fly; And we shall fail, or soar to heavenly things, As our forefathers gave us weights or wings.                                         ~ Alice Carter Cook
