I was working on an historical project in Middlebury in July. I inquired of the Sheldon Museum in Middlebury as to whether there were an Addison County or Middlebury historical society. I was told by their director that in essence they are the closest thing. They have a research room in the lower floor of their museum building. I do not know to what extent they feel they have the personnel to handle phone or mail requests- there's usually just one staff member on duty. They do not have the local vital records- those are down the street at the town clerk's office- and that is for Middlebury only. They do have a binder of vital records prior to 1850 that a volunteer has abstracted from the local newspaper (Middlebury Register). They also have some records taken from the records of the Congregational Church. Other than this they mainly have papers, journals, and photos that have been donated to their collection- the collection is not real extensive (nothing like the Vermont Historical Society in Barre)- but good if you have family from Middlebury and some of the surrounding towns. Across the street, the Isley Library has a good collection of books of area history and other items- they have a few cemetery records for Middlebury, I think mainly for Revolutionary soldiers- perhaps more.

Hello all, Another question for the helpful members of this list... is there an Addison County Genealogical Society that one might join for research look-ups? I did check the USGENWEB page for Addison County for that purpose, but did not see anything... unless I missed it. Also did a Google search. Just thought I'd ask if anyone knew of such?? thanks, Patti

Thanks to ALL for the very informative, kind replies full of info!!! I appreciate the time and efforts made to help me. Patti

Hi! My DANIELS interest is Clement DANIELS married Susanah RICHARDS. In 1810 I find them in Sheffield, Caledonia, Vt. Also listed are Jacob and Samuel DANIELS as heads of households on the same page. I'm wondering how they are related.? I believe both Susanah RICHARDS and Clement DANIELS were born in New Hampshire. By 1860 I find Clement DANIELS age 81 living in Monkton, Addison Co., Vt. in the Almond and Louisa CLARK household and wondered if there is any relation between the DANIELS and CLARKS. Clement and Susanah's son, Willard W. DANIELS married Lucy RIDER. Their son, Ebenezer married Charlotte "Lottie" COOLIHAN (COOHAN) and dau. Margaret Lucy DANIELS married Oscar Eugene PRATT of Rutland Co., Vt. ** Does anyone have any information to share concerning the family of Susanah RICHARDS? * Thank you, Marie The five most essential words for a healthy, vital relationship are "I apologize" and "You are right."
