Hi, >From Hemenway's Vermont Historical Gazetteer I find this. Huntington, Vermont: The first dwelling house, erected in what is now the north village, was erected for Elenzxer Ambler in 1804 and the next for Jehiel Johns in 1806. That of Ambler;s occupied the site in part of the Green Mountain House, the present village hotel----removed in 1826 across the road south, where it stands as the nucleus of the dwelling-house of JUDGE SAYLES. Richmond, Vermont: Business Men: The mercantile business is now carried on by H.A. Hodges, Solomon Green, J. P. Barnum, Firman & Gorton, E. B. Green and SAYLES and Eddy, at Jonesville; and to these may be added Joshua Jewell;s furniture store, and Dr. Wm. Root's drug store. Military Chapter: It states: A regiment of cavalry has been raised by voluntary enlistment under a commission of the secretary of war to Col. L. B. Platt. I have authorized Capt. L. R. SAYLES of Leicester, to raise a squadron of cavalry, to form a part of a regiment apportioned to the several New England states to be organized, uniformed, and equipped, by Gov. Sprague of Rhode Island, and denominated the New England regiment of cavalry. Polly Pmanosh@pwshift.com > I am seeking ancestors of Bessie SAYLES.
