Hi.... I am researching the following surnames in Chittendend County VT: JOHN BREEN, b. in Ireland. He married Roseanna/Rose HAYES, b.abt 1837 in Ireland, d. April 22, 1886 in Underhill, VT. They had two children that I am aware of, Edward b. abt 1824 in Waxfield/Maxfield Ireland - d. May 4, 1898 in Underhill, VT. Married to Mary CAVANAGH in Burlington, VT on Feb. 14, 1858. Patrick, b. abt 1831 in Ireland, d. April 16, 1883 in Burlington, VT. Married Margaret Theresa COY June 24, 1880 in Burlington, VT. I am also researching William SALTUS, b. abt 1841. Wife was Julia (BUSH or BARTON/BARTIN) b. 1843 in Plattsburg, NY. Children were Joseph, Walter, William Freeman, Moriah Clara, Bertha Lillian, George, Moses, and Edward. I am interested in William Freeman, b. Nov. 25, 1869 in Burlington, VT. d. June 5, 1937 in Burlington. His first wife was Stella F. Tatro, they were married on June 12, 1892 in Montgomery Ctr.

Any information that anyone may have to share would really be appreciated. Thanks, Margaret Bishop

Hello all, I've been very busy lately and therefore have just been watching all the postings on the various surnames you're all researching. But I figured it's time I join in with my own names now. I'm looking for information on CARLOS JOSLIN, b. Nov. 30, 1805. His parents are the mystery. Carlos was orphaned when he was fairly young and moved to NY with an unknown guardian. He married MARY BOSTWICK (b. Canada) near Rochester, NY in 1825 and the family moved west, first to Michigan, then Wisconsin and finally Minnesota. Thanks to the messages here, I now know why no "official" record of Carlos' birth has turned up yet...they weren't kept by the state at that time. I have been told there was an EDWARD JOSLIN, son of Zebediah and Hannah (Hale) Joslin, who died in 1813 in Huntington, VT. If so, the time frame would be right to make him a candidate to be Carlos' father. Does anyone have any information on this Edward Joslin? Who he married? Any children and their birth dates? Any clues would be greatly appreciated. Carlos is my son-in-law's ancestor and I sure would like to help his family find his parents. Also, for Nancy, I see that you're researching the name REYNOLDS. This is a real long shot, but here goes anyway. I have an Abel Reynolds, b. May 28, 1802, place unknown, d. 1866 in Perry Center, NY. He married Lucy Butler, b. 1805, New Marlboro, MA. Since I know there were a lot of families moving from VT and other parts of New England to NY during that time period (especially after Mt. Pinatubo erupted :-) ), I'm wondering if Abel and Lucy might have been among them. Do you have an Abel anywhere in your Reynolds family? This one's in my own line and has been a puzzle for some time. Thanks in advance for checking. Barb Senden

Bev: You should certainly be able to send for records given the time frame. Check with the Chittenden Co. site for information. One can not expect to get a whole family history on line, except for those rare occasions when a "cousin" surfaces who has done all the searching and is willing to share information.

A thought for Ann and everyone - I don't know all of the details, but one argument for the migration in the 1810s is the eruption of Mount Pinitobow (sp?) Apparently, this volcano erupted in 1814/1815. I think it was in the Pacific but I am not sure. Anyway, it released a great deal of ash into the atmosphere. The year 1814/1815 was one of the coldest on record, with snow in the summer (July and August). It was very hard in New England. So some of the immigration to the west, New York and beyond, was due to the cold winter caused by the volcano which made life in New England very difficult. Obviously food became an issue as well. Additional factors were the War of 1812, and the fact that land was getting scarse and the younger sons could not start their own farms. The younger sons moved west for land. I am sure other people know more about this than I do. Ted White

Hello All, I'm researching my wife's grandmother who lived in Burlington. Her marriage certificate gives her name as Rossie L. Weeks but she was known to her son Harlan Ross Watson as Rosumund Louise Welko. Rossie (Rosamund) was married to Ross Elisha Watson of Plattsburgh, New York on September 30, 1896. She was 21 years old at the time so was born around 1875. Her father was George W. Watson and her mother was Lottie C. Webb. Any information would be very much appreciated.

My husband's ever-so-great gf, David ROBERTS (Jr.) was reportedly born in SHELBOURNE, CHITTENDON CO VT on May 23 1800. I am trying to find our for sure which ROBERTS line he was from, and why his family moved to Delaware County OH, sometime before 1818. I believe his father was the same David ROBERTS stationed at Fort Hoosic, in Williamstown, Berkshire County MA before moving to VT. Thanks for any hot leads! Ann McReynolds St. Louis

Chittenden County families I'm searching are Alden and Peck Rufus Alden and wife Sally White Alden located in Chittenden County about 1805 from Addison County. Children, Byron b. 1806; Willard, b. 1808; Polly Marinda, b. 1810; Lury Lucinda, b. 1814; and Justin Thomas, b. 1821, all born in Hinesburg. Byron married Sarah Ann Peck,daughter of Joel Peck of Hinesburg, in 1827. Willard married Aurilla Clark of Hinesburg in 1827 Polly married Edmund Baldwin of Hinesburg in 1827 All of this family moved to St. Lawrence County, NY about 1835. All this information is from family Bible of Byron and Sarah Alden, but I have found no records to support this. Problem: Joel Peck!!!! Cannot find any record of him after census of 1820. What became of him? I've been searching for Joel Peck information for years. Any information very much appreciated. Lorraine M. Lineer
