I am looking to confirm that Jonathan Vickery was born 09-17-1804 in Westford, VT and whom his parents are. Both the LDS and a personal list I received list Jonathan but no parents or siblings. I believe he is connected to the Vickerys of Truro, Mass. Any help would be great. Thanks Larry Vickery New web page address: http://people.ne.mediaone.net/lvickery
