    1. [VERMONT] Hiram Hefflons death certificate or Obit
    2. Harriet E. Cady

    3. That's right Darrell. I thought if I looked at Hiram's death certificate I might find a clue for Silas Nicholas Hefflon born Ireland march 18, 1772 and Polly KNAPP Hefflon born RI April 2, 1785. The parents of Hiram say he was born RI in 1804 but where? Harriet >________________________________ > From: Darrell A.
