Hello: I have been searching for almost 21 years, for my great grandmother's background. Every record, letters to people, web no luck so far. We have all info. after she married Wm. SARAH FARNSWORTH we think she was from St. Johnsbury and born abt 1845 m: abt 1865 right after his return from the civil war WILLIAM HENRY TOBIN born 1843 Ireland came to Richmond VT abt 1885 They lived in Richmond then Bolton, had 5 children from about 1870-79 Sara, Francis (Frank), Joseph, Edgar, Thomas. emigrated to NE abt 1879-80, had another son George born in 1880 and Sara died 1883, no records were kept in those days. Birth and death both were around Greenwood, NE I have not been able to find out anything up until she married my great grandfather. Any help out there will be appreciated. Also does anyone know what newspapers were there in that time frame, might find a marriage license for them. VT vital records states they do not have one. Thank you, Charlene Tobin Rodriguez crodri9794@aol.com

I appreciate hearing if the lookups that I do are of some help to people, so please let me know if any info that I send to you is helpful. It helps me to decide where, when and how (or how not) to do future lookups on the mailing list. Well, if you think she (Sarah Farnsworth, who married William Tobin) could have been born around 1842, then there is a Sarah Farnsworth that would be a great candidate. 1850 VT census listing is Farnsworth, Judea VT Chittenden Westford 1850 923 180 Judea Farnsworth 79 f NH (all the rest below in VT) Reuben 47 M (This took some detective work-couldn't tell the name, but I found a Eunice and Reuben in the following source-FARNSWORTH MEMORIAL Published 1897 by Moses Franklin Farnsworth, revised by R.
