Hello, I am trying to locate Freeman Kinyon on the 1810 Hinesburg, Chittenden County census. By chance does anybody have a copy of the census index book to look up his name and enumeration number. Thanks for any help! Sandra

RE: Phil's question on newspapers for Winooski If you have a large library near you, ask them if they have a book which I think is called Newspapers on microfilm. The index it goes by state then city and tells the names of all newspapers and when they were in existence. You can then order the microfilm on inter-library loan. Burlington's newspapers go back to the early 1800's or before. Good luck, Gail

Augusta born between June and October 1885, Goteborg, Sweden, Immigrated, and presumably married Arthur... They parted 1912 in the St Albans area, of Vermont. Seeking Marriage, Divorce, Death or Immigration, Parental information. Any help will be appreciated, as I have been searching for a very long time. Dick Carter rcar37@prodigy.net

Could anyone tell me if Winooski had a newspaper around the early 1900's and if so if there are microfilmed copies of it and where they would be located? Also was there a newspaper for Burlington at that time and are there any microfilmed copies of it to look up? I would like to see if there are obits for some of my ancestors at that time that might list siblings. Also my great great grandfather Joseph Yandow/Riendeau was killed by a train in Winooski on 18 September 1903 and I would like to see if there is an account of it in the paper. I am hoping to get up there sometime next year to do more research. I can also be e-mailed at pacochran29@hotmail.com . Thanks Phil

More information about Shelburne from Abby Hemenway's VT Gazetteer Ziba Piersons - located on a farm lying on the main road, in the south part of the township; accumulated a good property, held many offices of trust in the town, a thorough businessman; died suddenly in a fit of apoplexy, Nov 1, 1820, aged 60 years. Uzal Piersons - owned and occupied the farm near the lake, now owned and occupied by Ezra Meech, a son of Ezra Meech, Sen. By energy and good fortune he secured a large and valuable estate, what is termed among country farmers wealthy; reared up a large family of children, but was unfortunate towards the close of his business life and lost much of his wealth; came to his death by falling from a wagon, striking upon his head, June June 11, 1836, aged 72 years. William Smith - emigrated to Shelburne, and located on what has ever been known as Smith's Point, in 1783; was familiarly known as Quaker Smith. His family consisted of several sons and daughters, most of them settled in west part of the town. The old homestead has passed from one to another of his descendants and is now owned and occupied by Isaac Smith, a descendant-one of the third generation. Daniel Comstock - one of the early settlers, located a short distance north of Wm Smith's, on a point which has ever bore his name. He was a man of unblemished character; held many offices in the gift of the people, being treasurer of the town for many years. He was a Universalist in religious sentiment, a strict moralist, and honest man; died Jan 11, 1816, aged 74 years. Levi Comstock - son of Daniel, was town clerk for many years, justice of the peace, and held various town offices; was a prominent man in the community; died May 10, 1847, aged 81, universally respected. Elisha Comstock - son of Daniel, owned and occupied this farm, the old homestead, after his father's death, which is now owned by Hezekiah, son of Elisha. Frederick Saxton - was one of the first settlers in the town of Burlington. Located at the head of Pearl street in 1785, resided there several years. Sold to Co. Pearl, in 1792, and removed to Shelburne, located on a point a short distance north of Comstock's Point, now owned and occupied by Geo. Saxton, a descendant of Frederick; resided on this point till his death in 1796, the manner of which may be learned under head of "drowning" in this paper. Under drowning's ....April 28th, 1796, Col. Frederick Saxton, Jared Post and two of his sons-all citizens of this town-started in a log canoe to cross Lake Champlain from Saxton's Bay to Willsborough Point directly opposite. When about a mile or so from the Point the wind, which had been increasing from the time they first set out, had become so strong that the canoe filled with water, and the whole party were drowned. Their bodies were never found. More to follow.........

Joseph Dillin and wife Alice Elizabeth (Eliza) came to Underhill Chittenden County VT. sometime about 1832. They left Ireland in 1831, had a child Charlotte b. 1832 in Canada. They lived about 9 yrs in VT and then moved to PA. Joseph died in 1845, but I think in PA. They had 2 children that I know for sure (my ggrandfather) Joseph H b. July 2 1837 in Underhill Chittenden County VT and also Maria Anna b. in 1835 or 1836. I have the 1840 census for VT and they are on it. The Ancestry.com has them in the census with a spelling of DELLEN. Has anyone seen this name or are researching it. His wife's maiden name is BRAITHWAITE b. 1800 England . Joseph was b. in Loaghis (Queens County) Ireland abt. 1796. I think they came into VT through ST ALBANS. This is my brick wall. Any help would be appreciated. Roberta Wisconsin drsahr@compufort.com

The Burlington Free Press, 12/3/1860, and Burlington City Hall death records, record the death of a James LLOYD. His birthplace is given as Burlington, his wife as Mary and his father and mother as James and Mary. I am seeking information about ancestors and descdndents of these two generations of James' and Marys. If you are researchinbg and/or interested in the Lloyd family name, I would like to share ionformation. I believe this LLOYD family is also associated with NY, MA and CT.

> Your statement was very interesting. Would there be records of arrivals up > there do you think??? Since you are on the list, I am also sending this to the list, as this is a frequent question when I give lectures on Immigration and Naturalization. One time our local genealogy society had a national lecturer come and lecture about Im-Nat. He mentioned that there were almost no records for St. Albans District-A large section of the group (who had been to my lectures) sat there and smiled politely. They all felt they were experts now. What time period are you looking for because the INS moved from their building in St. Albans (about 10-20 years ago, I have lost time since I left the Burlington area). It had finally been recognized that it needed some employees. It had hardly any employees up to that time. When they were moving, they found all these boxes in the attic-oops. The Director of the National Archives Regional Branch in Waltham, MA told me that he received a phone call-HELP, we didn't know these were here and don't know what to do with them. The Director said that Waltham would love them. Last I knew they had been sent to Waltham, MA and were being sorted and indexed. I would definitely check there, BUT only after I had checked to see what is already filmed at the National Archives in Washington. There are St. Albans films that have been made by the National Archives that you can acess the films numbers at the following site and should be able to order them at your local library or LDS Family History Center.

Is there a copy of Abby Hemmingway's volumes on Vermont genealogies (can't remember the name) in the rare book dept. at Univ. of VT? I will try to make a trip back to look up a name. Thanks. Ruthie

If anyone out there lives on the West Coast of our country, as I do, there is a copy of "The Vermont Historical Gazetteer" in San Francisco at Sutro Library. It's really a treasure even if your ancestors are not famous. Jeanne

Another very common reason was that most Scot, Irish and English were citizens of the British Commonwealth and therefore when they traveled to Canada they were not required to file immigration papers like they were for this country. VT history shows that the Scots settled mostly in what is called the "Northeast Kingdom", the northeastern part of the state. The were encouraged to come because others were unwilling to settle in the most harsh of VT's areas.

Hi everyone, I made a mistake on the list of early settlers I sent earlier they were from HINESBURGH not Shelburne. The suicides were from Shelburne. The book by Abby Hemenway that I viewed is located at the Wisconsin State Archives in Madison, Wisconsin in Rare books. There is an index to her collection which is for the state of VT I think it is 5 vols. The State Historical Society in the same building own the index. They are not available on interlibrary loan. I only copied a few of the pages related to Hinesburgh and Shelburne.

One of the reasons was that there were ships sailing directly out of Glasgow to Canada (in particular to Prince Edward Island, among others). It may have been cheaper than to sail to the US where the ship would have to pay more for their cargo to be unloaded, etc. They could be sure that hotels, etc in NY would be much more pricely than in Canada. Also there were settlements in Canada that were very strongly Scottish. There they could find support when they landed and after a time could go to the US-just over the border. The St. Albans area border crossings were frequently unmanned (even when I was a child, they were often unmonitored in some area-people went over the border to get their hair cut!) so it was easy to get into the US from there.

I have the same situation. My ancestors, James McCollum and his wife Mary Jane Fleming were born in Scotland. Their only child Isabella was born in Ireland in 1822. I first find the family in the 1840 Jericho,Chittenden, VT census. They removed to Concord, Jefferson, WI with their son-in-law Henry Martin Rouse, born 1822 VT, after Oct 1843. They are enumerated on the 1850 and 1860 Concord, Jefferson WI census. Henry Martin Rouse removed to Kent, MI after 1860. His mother-in-law, Mary Jane (Fleming) McCollum is enumerated in his household in the 1870 Paris,Kent,MI census. Carl A Patin Casselberry FL
