Hi, New to the list and just wondering if anyone is researching the Van Norman surname.? Our ancestor Theodore Van Norman was born in VT ca 1807 and I see three listings in the 1810 Census for this County. Frederick is the possible father of our Theodore. Theodore removed to Knox Co OH later. He was married to an Amanda Unknown. Not sure if OH or VT? Where can I find marriage records online for this county?

I'm hoping someone will tell me if I should write directly to the Vermont birth records and send a check for the correct amount, even if I have no idea whether or not what I seek is there. Is the (very modest) fee for searching regardless? Reuben Parmelee was the minister at 2nd Congregational Church, Hinesburg, from 1791-94. He and his wife Laura Collins Parmelee, may have had a son William in 1794. It's William's birth record or baptismal record that I'm looking for. Any help will be much appreciated!

Hi Listers! Just back from a trip to Vermont. Had wonderful trip but didn't break down any brick walls. For those of you who e-mailed me and requested lookups, I will get to them tomorrow. If anyone posted a lookup request to the list please e-mail me privately as I don't have time right now to check the archives. I have the following CD's and will do lookups ~ please be brief and specific. Most importantly, please specify which CD # is to be checked. CD # 131 Veterans' Schedules: U.S. Selected States, 1890 CD # 160 State Index: Upstate New York, 1685 - 1910 CD # 401 Marriage Index: Selected Areas of NY, 1639 - 1916 CD # 402 Marriage Index: New York #2, 1740's - 1880's Remember, with any of these CD's they are just a "lead" to direct one to the original source for verification. As vacation is over and the "rat race" has begun, please have patience. Dot Searching in VT: POLLARD, IRISH, CONNOR, BLAISDELL

I'm searching for the parents and family of Dr. Seymour Thatcher (b.d. 1800 Burlington, VT). His father was possibly Samuel Thatcher. Seymour Thatcher was a doctor and druggist in Hermon, Saint Lawrence, NY from 1826 until his death in 1868. He gratudated from the Medical College of the State University in Burlington and joined the St. Lawrence Medical Society in 1826. He was among the incorporators of the Congregational Church of Hermon in 1847 and served as one of its trustees. Dr. Thatcher was married to Elizabeth Smith born in 1801 in De Kalb. Their children were: Jane Caroline b. 1833; Sarah b. 1836 and died 1914; Clara M. b. 1838 and died 1907; and Edwin b 1840. Any information would be greatly appreciated. We've really hit a brickwall with Seymour.

I am interested in sharing with anyone who had Vermonter/Eastern New York Roots, in the 1780's thru the 1840's that migrated to Waukesha/Washington or Dodge County Wiscosnsin. also other parts of Wisconsin. My Bowe/Bow family came to Rutland County(Pittsfield) in the late 1780's and also had a connection in the 1860's with an S.Louisa Bowe at Hinesburg, Chittenden Co in the 1860's. Daniel Bowe Jr and possibly his brother John Bowe and familes left Pittsfiled in about 1844 and came to Waukesha County Wi. It is a possibity that John went to Michigan and then Chicago, his was lost. Somewhere he married a Byington or a Boyington. My interest is in locating poeple who might have been known to each other in Vermont, stopped in Eastern New York fora few years and then hooked again in Dodge County Wisconsin and Waukesha County etc. Some surnames that are in Rultand/Chittenden Counties in the 1780 thru 1840 era and later found in Wisconsin are besides Bowe/Bow, Gould, Durkee, Parmenter, Sayles, Williams, White, Christian, Shepard/Shepherd, Barney. Intersted in discovering why they left the East. Rob Bowe

Can anyone find out if a Julius Dudley and his wife Italy (.....) Dudley died in Rutland or Waitsfield VT perhaps between 1870 and 1885 Would appreciate any help here. Thanks Marge Riley

The following are the requests I received to check out while in Vermont. I can't promise a thing. Buffy from this list hooked me up with another direct descendent from our Patrick and Bridget Kehoe!!! She has their immigration papers, letters that our guy from Wisconsin wrote to his parents while he claimed land in Wisconsin in 1850~~!! I'm so excited that I have already left the ground with out the plane. Our plans have changed from sitting in libraries and town clerks offices, to pouring over old pictures and seeing if my husband's nose really is one of those "famous" Kehoe noses. When people say "who needs the internet", I'm the first to jump up and say "I DO!". Look how far it's taken us in such a short time.

I need any tidbit which can be found. Any info you run across on SNOW or WEBSTER would be very much appreciated. The specific people are Harvey SNOW and wife Sarah WEBSTER. I think they were Baptist. Sarah died about 1856 and should be buried in Chittenden Co. Harvey adopted out the 2 kids to his brother in Wis. and disappeared. Laura Emily SNOW, born 04 Jan. 1850 in Bolton or West Bolton, Chittenden County, VT to Harvey R. SNOW and Sarah Esther WEBSTER. The parents are recorded there on the 1850 census. I have some land papers Harvey and Sarah signed up until 1856, which is when Sarah died (burial place unknown). Harvey SNOW has disappeared. Laura Emily SNOW was raised by Orson SNOW, wife Polly GROUT, who were married 1848 in Dodge County, WI. Orson and Polly thus probably 'got' Laura about 1856, when she was 6 years old; I don't know how she (or her brother) travelled to WI at that age. Laura SNOW married in Mar 1870 in Columbia County, WI to James B. Dunn; I have a copy of that marriage certificate, which names Orson and Polly as her parents though they were really her aunt and uncle. Thus, if there are any formal adoption papers for Laura SNOW, they might be in Columbia or Dodge Co. 1856-1870. Rob Bowe srbowe@wolf.co.net If you run across anything with the name Bowe or Bow, please let me know. Pat Palmer toots@premier1.net Amos Patterson b:4/1832. He was born in Chittenden county and have no clue who his parents were but think his father was born in Canada and Amos lived there for a time as a small boy.

Hi List, I forgot to mention that the time frame of the Warnings Out is 1802 to 1817. Very few before 1810. I was told that Vermont was one of the last of the early colonies to continue warnings out. I think it stoped in or around 1817. Warning Out was an aspect of New England's various settlement and poor laws permiting local authorities to issue warrants requiring newcomers to leave town. Anyone who moved from a place of legal settlement to a new place was subject to the scrutiny of laws whose purpose was general social control. Every town wished to attract and keep desirable inhabitants and to discourage unpromising arrivals from staying. The settlement and poor laws required, encouraged, or permitted close scrunity of newcomers and described the authorized mechanisms for retention or removal. Ultimately the newcomer either had to obtain a legal settlement or face the possibility of expulsion. Warning Out was a pivotal feature of this process, although it often sounded more drastic on paper than it was in practice. In Vermont many were warned, few were expelled; but the paperwork was considerable in any event. Much Warning out paperwork for New England survives in county or town records throught New England, a rich deposit of primary source material for social historians and genealogists. From: Vermont Warnings Out Vol 1: Northern Vermont. By Alden M Rollins. Another good book is: Vermon Warnings Out by Alden M Rollins. I have xeroxed the warnings out for Chittenden County. If you want me to check for a name please e-mail me privately and I will check it for you. If your ancestor is listed you can then write to the town clerk for a copy of the document.

Can anyone help me with this family-in particular their ancestors. Elijah JACKSON b.1806/1810 in VT married 1st Caroline KENYON They had 1 daughter, Caroline who marr Anson J.

Linda Peshtigo, WI

I am looking for any information on Laurence Joseph Martineau, approximate date of birth 1893 in Syracuse New York or Florence Marie Patneaude, approximate date of birth 1899 in Grand Isle VT. They had a son in November 1938 in Burlington. Thank you.

Hi List, A good book to look at on the early history of Vermont is: Vermont Historical Gazetter, compiled, edited and published by Abbie M Hemenway, published in the 1800's. A companion index was printed in 1923 which is by name. These books are at the State Historical Society in Madison, Wisconsin. The book is in the rare book collection in archives and the index can be found in the library stacks. Another good book is: Vermon Warnings Out by Alden M Rollins. I have xeroxed the warnings out for Chittenden County. If you want me to check for a name please e-mail me privately and I will check it for you. If your ancestor is listed you can then write to the town clerk for a copy of the document. Gail gclayton@chorus.net

I did not write the message about an LDS default site, I just forwarded what the other person had wrote me why I tried to help someone on this list with their Farnsworth research, but I've gotten a number of emails requesting me to explain it. It said at the bottom of the message I forwarded >Tell her to try the LDS default site: >> >> <A HREF="http://32.96.111.13/default.asp">FamilySearch LDS Default</A> > I put this address in my Internet browser and found It's the address of the FamilySearch Internet site.
