Thanks, Joann! The person is Cyrus Branch, a fugitive slave who settled in Brattleboro before the Civil War (see http://docsouth.unc.edu/global/result.html?term=African%20Americans%20--%20Vermont%20--%20Biography.) He is probably listed under the name John White, which was the pseudonym he took in order not to be discovered and taken back to Georgia. Many thanks, Sylvia On Mon, 17 Nov 2008, Joann H.
