Could someone possibly help me with the phone number of the Town Clerk in Wheelock and in St. Johnsbury. Thank you very much Barbara Lewis

Greetings, I am new to this group and am hopeful that we can be of mutual assistance to one another. I am looking for information on my great-great grandparents Isaac Brock and Isabel Kennedy. I have some potential links with Isaac's ancestors but am blocked with Isabel. I am looking both for ancestors (and brothers and sisters and their families) and any information in regards to family history. I know that Isaac was a farmer in Pawnee City, Ne, and Isabel, his second wife, was a homemaker. I reaaly need some help on Isabel's side and need some validation/extension for Isaac and Walter Brock. I do understand that Walter Brock senior was one of the founding fathers of Barnet and the first Justice of the Peace there. Please help if you can. My family is having a reunion to commemorate my folks 50th wedding anniversary in a few weeks and we would all greatly appreciate any assistance/info you could provide. Here is what I have in a more formal presentation: First Generation 1 Sarah Adelaide Brock. Born on 8 Feb 1876 in Barnet, Caledonia, Vt. Sarah Adelaide died in Pawnee City, Pawnee Co, Ne on 3 Dec 1948; she was 72. Sarah Adelaide married John Frederick Martin. Second Generation 2 Isaac Brock. Born on 15 Jul 1824 in Barnet, Caledonia, Vt. Isaac died in Pawnee City, Ne on 23 Dec 1901; he was 77. On 4 Mar 1875 when Isaac was 50, he married Isabel Kennedy, in Barnet, Caledonia, Vermont. 3 Isabel Kennedy. Born on 25 Sep 1834 in Ryegate, Caledonia, Vermont. Third Generation 4 Walter Brock. Born on 8 Sep 1778 in Barnet Twp, Caledonia, Vt. Walter died aft 1825; he was 46. Born on 8 Sep 1778 in Newbury, Orange, Vermont. Walter married Sally Nutter. 5 Sally Nutter. Born bef 1794 in Barnet Twp, Caledonia, Vt. Fourth Generation 8 Walter Brock. Born in 1743 in Glasgow, Scotland. Walter died in West Barnet, Caledonia Co, Vt on 8 Nov 1825; he was 82. Buried in Nov abt 1765 when Walter was 22, he married Janet Stuart, in Glasgow, Scotland. 9 Janet Stuart. Born on 22 Feb 1748 in Scotland. Janet died in West Barnet, Caledonia, Vermont on 25 Jun 1797; she was 49. Buried in Jun 1797 in West Barnet Cem., West Barnet, Caledonia, Vermont. 10 Christopher Nutter. Fifth Generation 18 Claudius Stuart. Born abt 1711 in Old Kilpatrick, Dunbartonshire, Clyde, Scotland. Claudius died in West Barnet, Caledonia Co, Vt on 17 Dec 1811; he was 100. Buried in Stuart Cemetery. On 17 May 1747 when Claudius was 36, he married Janet Mc Rab Spencer, in Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland. 19 Janet Mc Rab Spencer. Born abt 1726 in Scotland. Janet Mc Rab died in Scotland abt 1761; she was 35. Sixth Generation 36 Claudius Stuart.

My interest in the Hartwell family is somewhat indirect. Nancy Hartwell (b. 1 June 1801), [sister of Philemon], married 6 Dec 1821 in Newark, Caledonia Co., VT, Francis [Frank] Smith. Frank was son of Nathan Smith and Elisheba Atwood -- and two of my grandchildren are descended from Nathan and Elisheba, through Frank's brother, Asa. [Follow that?] As a result of correspondence with other Smith family members, I have a fairly large database of descendants of Frank and Nancy (Hartwell) Smith, and would be happy to make new contacts with those interested in those lines.

Hi Cherryl, I just downloaded about a month's worth of e-mail messages (yes, I HAVE been out of touch) and I found this message from you among them. I am not sure at this point whether we've had correspondence before or not, however, I am interested in references you have made in this message for James Ball and his wife Abigail Starr. I am wondering if you have any further information on the family of Abigail Starr? Also what children you have for them. I have two children in my database for them, although I know there must be more: 1) Sally Ball b. 2 Dec 1789 Guilford, CT; 2) Louise Ball b. abt 1806 Newark, VT. My interest and connection with this family would be through Sally Ball who married into my Hartwell line (Philemon Hartwell) in Newark, VT. They married 28 Jun 1812 in Newark. Sally Ball Hartwell died rather young, in 1845, and Philemon Hartwell didn't die until 1873 in Newark, although I don't have a second wife for him in my database. I would be interested in all further information you have on the Ball/Starr Family. Thank you.

Can anyone tell me what newspapers were in existence in St. Johnsbury 1860's. Have been trying to get background information about my great grandmother for 20yrs. Please dont tell me to write for records, as I have tried everywhere and anybody with the name Farnsworth, there are about 3 or 4 of us trying but nothing. Thought maybe there would be notice in newspaper for Sarrah when she married. Sarrah FARNSWORTH married William Henry TOBIN about 1865, he was from Ireland Thank you for any help out there.

I'm looking for McClouds, born 1800 thru 1811 in Plainfield area. The Town has no vital records on the McClouds I'm looking for, nor does the State. Wondering if there might be something at the county level for the period 1800-1810, when Plainfield was part of Caledonia County. Are there any Plainfield genealogy experts out there? Does anyone have an early history of Plainfield? Thanks.

Searching for the husband of Dolly BEAN d/o Andrew & Betsey (SINCLAIR) BEAN. In 1831 Dolly's brother Andrew removed from Sandwich to Charleston, Orleans, VT.

Hello Harman, No info on the familytreemaker but I had a Clark in Vt in my "tree". harold Clark was married to Abbie ..Arbuckle I think and her mother was Jenny Duff married to an E. Arbuckle. I don't know where they lived except Vermont. My records from my dad shows they had 5 children: Jennie, Richard, Marjorie, Paul & Douglas. Just thought I'd see if this connects.....

Mariana, Let me tell you what I am doing and why I am searching for info on him so that you can determine what more I may need, if anything. I went to Newark, VT - 2 out of their 3 cemeteries. Searching for BEANs, BALLs, and allied families. James Bradley BALL and his wife Abigail STARR were early settlers of the town of Newark, Caledonia, VT. My ancestor Hannah BEAN d/o Andrew BEAN and Hannah BRIAR/BRYER/BRIER/BRIARD/BUYER/BEYER...this Andrew was the s/o Andrew BEAN and Betsey SINCLAIR. Reference - Life and Family of John Bean of Exeter and his Cousins by Bernie Bean (I do not have further access to this book except at the library) pg 29 "We do not know this list of his children with one exception. Nor do we know his wife's name. In March 1831 the family moved from Sandwich to W. Charleston, VT., where both Andrew and his wife died. In 1893 Andrew wrote a letter to Jacob Bean of Boston in which he gave the family pedigree as follows: Andrew, Andrew, Andrew, Josiah, David, John, Daniel, John. Thus one son of Andrew we know about is Andrew J. b. North Sandwich, 10 Oct 1821. Bean, Andrew VT ORLEANS CO. CHARLSTON 183 1830 My Hannah would be Andrew's sister b. 28 June 1826 in Sandwich, Carroll, NH. In the 1860 VT Census pg 49 - Guildhall in the County of ? of VT enumerated by me, on the 10t day of June 1860 - Hannah wife of Wilbur F Ball age 22 place of birth NH Hannah BEAN married Wilbur Fiske BALL in Brighton, Orleans/Essex, VT on Feb 19-20 1843. According to the census she would be too young to be born in 1826 as the census would imply she was born in 1838. Well, back to my interest in Alonzo... I found Alonzo's headstone (1888 - 1923) in what I thought was the Newark Cemetery. The name of the cemetery was given to me by another person in the cemetery, so it was most probably the Pleasant Hill Cemetery you refer to in your response. I will update my records to reflect that name for the cemetery. Thanks for the clarification. Next to Alonzo was a headstone for John L. Dewey (1863 - 1935). Perhaps Ina was nearby but I haven't seen her stone yet. I videotaped the cemetery to refer back to as I research the names that I made note of, such as Alonzo. I do not have Chester BEAN in my file so if you could give me another generation or two back on him that would be great. I would like to see if he is one of my BEANs. Thanks for the info you have provided so far and I appreciate anything more you can provide. Thanks, Cherryl
