If you view it through Google books, you'll be able to just scroll through all the pages at once, whereas through Heritage Quest it page by page. I think you can even download it from google books as well. I briefly looked at the index yesterday and the names that do show up may be the families who were in the area at the time of the start of the town. The founding families so to speak. It DOES NOT appear to be a list of the families for a given time. The book has a publish date of 1891. Christine Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Could you please check for BARTRAM & CRAW? I am having a hard time finding much on them so would really appreciate it. thanks, Patti

It amazes me that so many families lived in Sheldon when the town is only 40 Sq miles.  I have been researching the Welch family and they have been in the area since late 1700's.  Nicole ________________________________ From: Jan Walker <iowawalker@msn.com> To: vtfrankl@rootsweb.com Sent: Mon, April 4, 2011 1:17:58 PM Subject: Re: [VTFRA] General history of Franklin County - Clawson Any information on the surname McCoy - they lived in Franklin, Swanton, & Sheldon.

Hi Tina, Will you check your book for Timothy Harrington? He and his wife, Mary and children Julia, Timothy and Henry were living in Sheldon, Franklin County at the time of the 1830 and 1840 Censuses. Richard

I am looking for info on Joseph Bates and his family. There are two Joseph Bates in the area for a while so I am looking for the one who lived from 1793-1866 and whose father I believe to be Oliver. I do NOT need any info on the Joseph whose parents are Jonathan and Mehitable. They are the wrong parents for my Joseph. My Joseph went to Quebec, married a woman there and moved back to VT before heading to Ohio. I guess the info I am trying to find out is if his father is Oliver and who his mother is. Thanks a lot!
