If you can't get to them in VT or through the vital records at Middlesex try the Mormons. All town records were microfilmed and available on order at LDS Research Centers in every state.

Hello. I would be very interested ! Can you tell me the time frame? My Burroughs family settled in the Ferrisburg /Vergennes area in the 1780's & some of Burroughs descendants still live in the Vergennes area today. More than happy to pay for any copying & mailing costs. Thank you for your time & effort.

Source, Rutland Vt. Herald--Wed.Aug. 11, 1948. BODY OF ORWELL MAN, DUE TODAY IN MIDDLEBURY, VT. MIDDLEBURY, Vt., Aug. 10--The body of 1st Lt. William E. Murray, of Orwell, Vt., who was killed on Luzon on April 27, 1945, will arrive in Middlebury on Wednesday. It will be taken to the Blackmer Funeral home here, where it will remain until the hour of the funeral. Funeral services will be held at St. Paul's church in Orwell, Vt. on Thursday at 9:30 a.m., when the Rev.Leo Ecuyer of Bristol, Vt., former pastor of St. Paul's, will sing the high requiem mass. Burial will be in St. Mary's cemetery in Middlebury, where the Brandon, Vt. post of the American Legion will conduct military services. 1st Lt. Murray , a graduate of Cathedral High school in Burlington, Vt., entered the Army on March 27, 1942, He received his commission in February 1943, and in May of that year was sent to the Pacific area in the 32d Infantry division. He participated in four major campaigns on New Guinea, Leyte, and Luzon. On February 3, 1945, he suffered wounds in fighting on Luzon, for which he was hospitalized for six weeks, and was killed in action following his return to duty. He was awarded the Combat Infantryman's badge, the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star, and the Distinguished Service Cross, the last two posthumously. Survivors include his widow, Mrs. Mary Wiggins Murray of Rutland, Vt., and Honolulu,Hawaii ; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Murray of Orwell, Vt., ; a sister, Miss Grace Murray of Burlington, Vt. ; four brothers, Paul of Phoenix, Ariz., Howard of Middlebury, Vt., Maxwell of Ithaca, N.Y., and James of Orwell, Vt. ; and two nieces and a nephew.

Samuel Knight of Shoreham and Fanny Knight b. around 1834, had a son Frank A. Knight, born in Orwell on 1/22/1852 (per Frank's death certificate, although I cannot get his birth certificate, and the Town of Orwell has no records of these Knight's). My theory is, that Samuel & Fanny had the one child, Frank A. Knight, maybe they weren't even married. Then by 1860 they were definitely split up, as Fanny can be found in the 1860 Shoreham census, living with George Doane of Shoreham, whom she later married and had several children with. Records of her children's births with Doane, and her son Frank Knight's death certificate, list her maiden name as "unknown," or it is blank on the records. She is listed on some records as born in Vermont, Connecticut or New York. I could never find little Frank living with Fanny & her new husband, George, on any census records. I cannot find any vital records on Samuel Knight of Shoreham; on his son Frank's birth in Orwell; or any records on Fanny. I also cannot find any records indicating where Frank grew up. As an adult, he shows up finally in Ossining, NY, where he married and died. Thanks, Donna
