It may well not answer all your questions, but there are a series of maps with some verbiage that show how the boundary between New York and Vermont changed over time on the Washington Co., NY site on USGenWeb: _http://www.rootsweb.com/~nywashin/_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~nywashin/) Nancy >OK will try this approach.

I have an ancestor born in Renselaer Co NY 1808 supposedly whose father was born depending on which census record you read, VT, NY or MAss. I have learned that the boundaries moved there in that corner same as in other places. IF he states his Father born in VT, it was pre 1800 because father was older than 8 when his son born. I suspect Father JONES was born around 1780 or so. I suspect related to Silas JONES SR of RI whos family is also in Renselaer Co NY. HE lives next to Silas JONES Sr downline kin in NY and in ILL and in IA. We have no names of siblings but suspect two when talking to other JONES researchers who can find no parents for their ancestor. Noyes JONES ma Susan MADISON supposedly MASS around 1832 found no records in either place family history implied happened. Find a George Madison as Noyes and Susan's neighbor in IOWA in 1870. Beleive him to be her brother. NO records on her family either. I am told it could have been Mattison . Susan b 1818 Mass according to family records.

Spencer Roberts of Granville, has discovered a deposit of lead and silver, but whether it can be found in quantities to pay development remains to be seen. Recently he blew out forty-five pounds of lead and silver bearing rock which he has sent to be analyzed. Mr. Roberts has spent years among the mines of Missouri and Colorado and declares that all the indications of minerals in those states are to be found in the Shaftsbury rocks. Mr. Roberts says the mineral lies in the fissure between two rock formations, the same as elsewhere. He does not profess to be a wizard of gone "nutty" over the find, but is confident that silver and lead in paying quanties can be mined in Vermont.

It is with sincere regret that we chronicle the death last week of Charles Sheldon's handsome horse, Dandy. Having lived beside him for years we are prepared to say that he possessed characteristics that might well be copied by the human family, namely : Intelligence, obedience and gentle disposition. Personally we are not a believer in a heaven for animals but if in our short sightedness we are mistaken and there is one, Dandy is there.

Mother Not Surprised to Learn of the Awful Fate of Her Son. Harry Goodspeed, eighteen years of age, only son of the late James Goodspeed of North Pawlet, Vt., was instantly killed Saturday on the east side of Lake St. Catherine, when his automobile, containing five young girls and himself, turned turtle, the girls escaping with slight injuries and the machine being only slightly damaged. The accident occurred some distance beyond Gray Gables, the Charles McFadden cottage, and was in the town of Poultney (Vt). The road there is very narrow and dangerous. Young Goodspeed who is known as a reckless driver, stated to the girls shortly before the catastrophe that they were at twenty-five miles and hour and would be making fifty in a minute. A Welsh picnic from West Pawlet was at the Forest house, with the party being Lizzie and Sarah Hughes, of West Pawlet, Hazel Nelson of West Rupert, Winnie Williams and Beatrice Griffiths of West Pawlet. Goodspeed, it is understood, gave a general invitation for anyone to have a ride in his machine and these five little girls accepted the invitation. How any of them escaped death is hard to understand., as three were pinned under the machine, one of them, Sarah Hughes, being in the front seat with the driver. When the accident occurred Goodspeed was in the act of lighting a cigarette, both hands being off the wheel for a moment. The auto plunged down a four foot bank, turning over, the corner of the seat crushed the driver's head. His neck was also broken. A slight quiver, when Miss Hughes spoke to him, was the only movement made. She managed to crawl from under the car and then assisted Miss Williams out of the rear seat. Miss Nelson they were unable to release, as she was held down by the car, although uninjured. She remained in this plight for about three quarters of an hour, when she was released by Myron F. Roberts of Rupert, who rode by in his car, but after going a short distance returned to investigate, having seen the overturned car, but thinking it was deserted when he passed. The girls had become scatted in their fright. Dr. A. J. Greenwood of Poultney was summoned, but the young man was past all help and the children's fright was their most serious injury. Griffith Lloyd, a photographer of Granville, N.Y., was on the opposite shore of the lake and arrived at the scene within a hour of the accident. He took a picture of the car, which was published in Monday evening's Troy Times, also the picture of the girls which appears on this page. This was taken as soon afterward as he could get them together at the Forest house on the west side of the lake, where the picnic was being held. The girls from left to right are as follows ; Lizzie Hughes, Sarah Hughes, Hazel Nelson, Winnie Williams, Beatrice Griffiths. The Hughes girls are sisters and all are from West Pawlet, Vt., with the exception of Hazel Nelson, who resides in West Rupert, Vt. I might be able to make a copy of the girls photo. If you think one of these girls could be a relative let me know. Joan
