John LOVE, supposedly from Londonderry, VT, settled in Wheelock with his wife Sarah EMERSON and had a large family. Child's Gazeteer says that John left the area about 1828 but other sources say John and Sarah remained in Wheelock, died there, and are buried in the S. Wheelock Cem. His daughter, Mary "Polly" LOVE married Charles B. BARBER. Looking for more information about the LOVES, where they came from, where they went to. Of the 11 children, one died young, I have marriages for two - but the rest seem to have vanished!

Looking for information regarding Martha Eastman born 1830 in Walden. She later married Dr. Samuel Austin Young. I have basic info on Martha's family and am looking for details about them. Thanks. Lynn

The only children I have for Nathaniel Gray and Elizabeth Miles I have in my database are three daughters: Levina, born 21 Dec 1803; Betsy, born 14 May 1806 and another Betsy born 23 Dec 1807 (these births from Sheffield Town Records, Book 1, page 219). That is not to say they didn't have other chidlren. I do now know who Nathaniel's parent were. Elizabeth may be the Betsy, daughter of Reuben and Lydia Miles. Her birth is listed in the Sheffield town records on page 203 -- she was born on 9 Jul 1794. We know that the first boy born in Sheffield, William Gray, was born 28 Aug 1794. Perhaps Elizabeth was born in Sheffield, but likely not. Possibly Harman can shed more light on this family. I have his e-mail address as: [email protected] BTW, I have probably 7-8 Miles and Grays marrying. There just weren't that many people in Sheffield at that time(nor now, for that matter!)

Hi, subscribers: As most of you are aware, RootsWeb's servers were moved over the weekend. The entire RootsWeb system was out of action for about three days. It appears that most everything is now up and running, although it would be entirely understandable if there were still a few glitches here and there. Rather than send "testing" messages, my suggestion is that if you want to see if all is as expected, you should send a message to the list telling everyone what one piece of genealogical information (related to the list, of course) you would *most* like to get. Include everything you *do* know so others have a better chance to help you out. If you have "technical" problems, send a message to me privately, not to the list, and we'll get it sorted out.

I was reviewing 1999 postings to the Caledonia Co. mailing list and saw that there was quite a bit of information about the GRAY family of Sheffield. I am looking for any information for Nathaniel GRAY who had a wife Elizabeth and a child Abigail who was born in 1812 in Sheffield. Abigail married Calvin STOWELL from Lyndon and removed to Goffstown, Essex Co., and then Lunenburg where she died 30OCT1886. Another old Caledonia Co. posting listed a marriage of a Nathaniel GRAY to an Elizabeth MILES in Sheffield in 1809 which fits well with Abigail's birth date. Perhaps MILES family researchers can provide some information. I tried to privately e-mail Harmon Clark who had posted much information on the GRAYs of Sheffield in the past but it must have been an old e-mail address. If Harmon could respond or if someone has a current e-mail address for him, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi, subscribers: Well, it would help if I got the time right. My *original* message was WRONG as to the time; the next paragraph has been CORRECTED. During the following event, please do NOT send "test" messages to the list. As automatically announced previously, RootsWeb will be down for planned maintenance beginning at 8 AM Pacific Standard Time on Friday, February 23 (11 AM Eastern Standard Time on 02/23; 16:00 GMT/UT 02/23). The duration of the maintenance is expected to be about 24 hours. It is *still* better to BE a good ancestor than to FIND one. And it is still fortunate that we do not usually have to choose between the two.

Hi, subscribers: As automatically announced previously, RootsWeb will be down for planned maintenance beginning at 9 PM Pacific Standard Time on Friday, February 23 (12 Midnight Eastern Standard Time on 02/23-24; 05:00 GMT/UT 02/24). The duration of the maintenance is expected to be about 24 hours. It is better to BE a good ancestor than to FIND one. Take a descendant to do something fun. Remind yourselves why you picked the persons you did to "be ancestors with." For the younger crowd, maybe even work on the "being ancestors" part <grin>. If that person is no longer with you, remember them as they were at their best. Forgive someone who needs it (everybody does). Telephone a friend that you haven't talked to in ages. Perform random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty. Sleep in. Write a letter -- no, the other kind, ink on paper, that can be treasured for years. Take an *ancestor* to do something fun. For most of the suggested activities, please feel free to substitute aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, cousins, unrelated neighbors or friends, or people at the homeless shelter.

Good Afternoon, I am pleased to announce that the "History" section of the VERMONT-L web site has been "opened" :-) This section was originally featured on the former VERMONT-L web site, and was compiled from members by Joe Broom. The material has been reformatted for the new site. It contains the following subjects: Battle of Bennington Loyalists - The Other Side The Fall of Ticonderoga Prelude to Battle The Battle of Hubbardton The Second Battle Patriot Roll of Honor Neri Crampton (submitted by Cyndi Walcott) Nehmia & Beulah Howe (submitted by Gloria Gibbel) Hezekia Hardwood (submitted by Jim Tyler) Stephen Martindale (submitted by Joe Broom) William & Benjamin Wait (submitted by ?) Othneil Preston (submitted by Carol Robinson McLean) Armstrong & Fillmores (submitted by Charlie Armstrong) The "History" Section can be accessed from: http://www.rootsweb.com/~vermont/VERMONTGATEWAY.html If other members of the list have material pertaining to genealogy and/or history of VERMONT they would like to share with the list, I would be delighted to include them on the Web Site. Please contact me to let me know if you want to participate. Good luck with your searches! Karima

"Caledonia" is taken from the ancient name for much of the area that is now Scotland, Latin I believe. It was borrowed from that into poetry. By the way, your message came to the Caledonia County list. Karima is better reached on the Vermont list, [email protected] although she will probably see the message here too.

I'm sure that many will visit this beautiful web site and ask the same question as Francie. Yes, Francie, Vermont is as beautiful as the pictures suggest. Looking forward to my visit in May. I love where I live now, but my heart still belongs in New England. Still searching for my elusive ancestor, Frank Raymond PINNEY. Hope to find out something about him when I pay my respects to my gr-grandparents in Island Pond. Judy, in NC

I agree, this site is must see for anyone researching Vermont. I further encourage all of us to contribute what we can to Karima's work. John -- John A.

Could someone local please give me the current name of a cemetery known as "East St. Johnsbury" in the early 1800s? Two of Joel Harvey's three wives are reportedly buried there per Vermont VRs microfilmed records : Susan(nah) FARR HARVEY b. 10 Feb. 1779 Chesterfield, Chesire, NH d. 6 May 1807 St. Johnsbury, Caledonia, VT Betsy BOWEN HARVEY b. 18 Sept 1785 Waterford?, Caledonia, VT d. 26 Aug 1835 St. Johnsbury, Caledonia, VT I have reviewed GNIS listing of cemeteries for Caledonia Co., VT and there is no "East St. Johnsbury" cemetery listed. Looking at the physical location and date of establishment for the listed cemeteries would lead me to believe that "Hill Cemetery" on the GNIS listing is the likely candidate but I would appreciate confirmation from someone in the area. If it is indeed Hill Cem. I will be able to try to find several more direct line ancestors who are recorded as being buried there. I live in northern Calif. and have never been to Vermont but hope to be making the trip in the next year or so! Thanks very much for any help possible. Bill Harvey [email protected]

Karima, It looks wonderful!! I really like the Gazetteer entries for each town and it's physical location in prespective to the surrounding towns. I couldn't stay too long but will get back to the site very soon. Thanks for all of your efforts in putting this together. I know it was a lot of work and I for one really appreciate it. Cherryl
