In response to the roll call-- My primary families of interest are: Rublee of Berkshire from abt. 1800 Towle of Franklin and Berkshire from abt. 1800 I have extensive databases on both of these families. Other familes that married into my direct lines are mentioned in the subject line. They mostly lived in Franklin and Berkshire.

Susan -- I have an elusive Rublee, who probably married a Davis. Just thought I would check with you. Laura Rublee, born 1799 Berkshire. She is referred to as Laura Davis in her father, Hiram Rublee's will. (He d. 1835 Berkshire) I haven't been able to determine who she married and what became of her. Any clues among your Davises?

Dear Gang, I'm looking for anyone with an attachment to the Chilson family that lived in Enosburg. If you have that name, even outside of Franklin County, I would love to share info. I, along with other Chilson researchers have transcribed the VT State Vital records and the census records for all and any Chilsons. Unfortunately, I have found that genealogy is very hard to research in this state due to the lack of records and a certain "independent" streak running through it's inhabitants! :) Yes, thats a smile. DANIEL CHILSON (born 3 April 1776 Brookfield, MA and died 31 August, 1854 in Enosburgh, VT) married Mary "Polly" Peas in Weathersfield, VT on 27 March 1799. They moved to Enosburg circa 1810 and settled in West Enosburg. They first owned a mill then after it was swept away in 1825, they turned to farming. SONS: Daniel S.; Alonzo B.; Lorenzo G.; Horace. at least six DAUGHTERS but none documented. The children and families of all but DANIEL S. are known and documented. Unfortunately, my line is not. POSSIBLE GRANDSON: EUGENE CHILSON born May 25, 1846 in West Enosburg. Mother "Mary CHILSON" in 1850 census in Castleton, VT. Mom and Eugene moved to Castleton in 1850. She lived with an "own cousin" SHELDON BLISS. No records of Dad have been found. No other records of Mother have been found. Anyone who has this name or an idea, I would love to chat. Thanks, Colin Brooks

Searching for the Amyntus Briggs family Amyntus A. Briggs b. 26 Sept, 1802 to Josiah(Josias?) and Eunice Briggs. He was the 12th child, according to his obituary. Amuntus married Mary Osborne (or Smith) 21 Apr 1821. Mary was b. 18 Jan 1805 Children born in Fairfield: Philetta, David, Charlotte, Josiah, Isaac and Amyntus. The family then removed to Rome, Oneida co., NY, where 7 more children were born. Mary died in 1849 after the 13th child was born. Amyntus then married a second time, to Emily Jane Dunham. Three children were born at Lee Center, and then the family removed to Newport, Sauk Co WI, and had an additional 5. Amyntus A Briggs stated in one census that one of his "occupations" was "father of 22 children" Does any one have any leads on the family while in Fairfield, there seems to be little actual sources. Are there any clues to other children of Josiah and Eunice Briggs? This is a large brick wall for me, any help would be appreciated. Kathy Parkinson, ggg-granddaughter of Amyntus Briggs

Aloha, I am still searching for the marriage of Joseph BLONDIN and Marie-Anne (or Abigail or Rose) LAFLAMME who raised a family in St. Albans and nearby Cambridge in the 1840's through 1860's. I have considerable information on their children but nothing that leads mean positively to the marriage of Joseph and Marie-Anne. have reason to believe that Joseph may be the son of Louis-Francois PIERRE dit BLONDIN and Catherine RICHARD who married 20 April 1807 at St-Jean-Baptiste, Rouville Co., Quebec. They had a son Joseph. They also had a daughter Catherine who had a marriage to a Lajeunesse "validated" at St. Joseph Church in Burlington. Thanks, Jerry Lesperance, Aiea, Hawaii

Just a reminder everyone! If you really and truly have a desire to have your posting to the Roll Call for the list actually read and not just deleted without a second thought, try to avoid just placing "ROLL CALL" in the subject line. There are many many persons who will just hit delete, delete, delete when they see it say ROLL CALL with no other info. In my book, it is bad enough to receive no answers to your posts and queries. BUT...what is even worse is to not have that post even be read. Because it could be the person not reading it and just deleting JUST MIGHT be the person who has all the answers you need.

Debbie Thanks for the Roll Call. I am looking for info on a Samuel Washburn who was born in MA c. 1782. By the early 1800's he was in Georgia, Franklin County, VT. There is some speculation (but unproved at this point) that he was the son of a Isaiah Washburn. We now know that Samuel's wife was Diademtia Wright. He had at least the following children: Samuel, Jr., Almon, Henry, Solomon, plus 2 or 3 more. Solomon married a Mary Carter born in Canada. They were married in Addison and moved to Wisconsin. I am in Solomon's line and have been trying to get around this brick wall for a couple of years. Looking for proof of Samuel's parents. Thanks for any help. Bill Betts Center Cross, Virginia

Listmembers: It has come to my attention that since there are alot of new subscribers to the list that many are unfamiliar with the term "roll call" and don't know exactly what is wanted of them or what is meant by how to list posts in the subject line. So for the benefit of the newer persons I will try to explain it better. A roll call is simply me trying to generate some activity on the list. Occassionally the list gets slow and when several new persons subscribe or when persons start asking if they are still subscribed as they are receiving nothing from the list I post for a roll call. Its a time when all the subscribers go through their files and post any and all queries they may have relating to that list. I also encourage persons to answer any that they see from other people. A typical posting might look like this below: Searching for info on Charles Bushey born probably around 1840 who married Elmira LaCroix prior to 1861. They had 6 known children:Mary Jane,Burton L.,Charles,George,Dolph,Marshall. Does anyone have this family line or is anyone tracing it? In the subject line would be: CHARLES BUSHEY/Franklin county VT/1840 As there may be hundreds of Charles Bushey's the subject line tells other, exactly which Charles, where the one I am interest in was at and in what time frame, so I have a better chance of making a connection on the right one. Of course, persons do also post: Looking for the BINGHAM and the SMITH surnames in VT. This is also fine but will limit the chances that you will receive info on the one you are looking for and also if persons have to write back and forth asking exactly "which Smith" sometimes they loose interest in assisting you, so therefore you have lost a potential link in your research. Always try to enclose in your query as much identifying info as you can, this only helps you. If you don't have that much on them, then post what you have. Post an approximate time frame, or any possible spouses you think might be there. I hope this clears it up for alot of you and I look forward to the posting!! Debbie Jennings

Forwarding to the list. Make sure posts on queries go to the list and not to me, this will increase the chance for more answers. Debbie -----Original Message----- From: johnrclarke_ga [mailto:johnrclarke_ga@email.msn.com] Sent: Monday, June 12, 2000 9:38 AM To: debj@comsys.net Subject: GROSVENOR, Fairfax, Franklin County (1790-1820) Good Morning, I think I did not introduce myself when I first joined this list several months ago and this seems like a good opportunity to do so. I am John R. Clarke of Thomasville, GA and my wife, Gail GROSVENOR, is the daughter of Richard B. GROSVENOR and Sarah Louise BRANDEL of Piqua, Miami County, OH and later of Decatur, Dekalb County, GA. My wife's GROSVENOR ancestors generally lived in the Miami and Shelby County areas of Ohio but we feel that some of their ancestors may have come from Fairfax, Franklin County, VT. Here is a short synopsis of what we know about these GROSVENOR ancestors from VT and their relationship to those GROSVENOR's in Miami and Shelby County, OH. First, my wife's family had always stated their GROSVENOR ancestors "came from NY" but nobody originally comes from NY except possibly Native Americans or the Dutch settlers who settled on Manhattan Island. We also knew that one of her ancestors was named "Nathan GROSVENOR" and he would have been of age to be admitted to the church in 1812 because we had his Prayer Book with his name and this date inscribed within it. We also knew these GROSVENOR's had to come originally from CT, which was the home place for most of the GROSVENOR family. We also knew that at the end of the Revolutionary War a lot of families immigrated from their original locations and this accelerated in the early years of the 19th Century. What I also knew about this family was they were Methodist -- always had been for as long as anyone could remember. I also knew that Fran Lamont had done some serious research on the GROSVENOR family and one of the few GROSVENOR's that were Methodist were the descendents of Leicester GROSVENOR of Fairfax, Franklin, Vt. We also knew that some of Leicester's descendents were located throughout Miami County, OH and they had lived there since around 1820, yet one of these had done a little genealogical work and told my wife's father (in the 1940's) they were not related to "his GROSVENORS." I was later to find this was not true. So, here is what we believe and what public records and censuses have shown us so far We feel that Nathan GROSVENOR (1796-1846), my wife's 3rd great-grandfather, was the oldest son of Richard GROSVENOR (1765-1838), a son of Leicester GROSVENOR, Jr. and Esther WELD, and Rebecca GLOYD of Fairfax, Franklin County, VT. Richard, a younger brother of Theophilus GROSVENOR, from whom the other GROSVENOR's of Miami County, OH generally descend, we later found died and was buried in Stockton, Chautauqua County, NY. Was this our "NY Connection?" Subsequent research has shown there was indeed a family tie to Stockton, Chautauqua County, NY. When we closely examined the 1849 probated Will of Launson GROSVENOR (1800-1848), who is buried right next to Nathan and several of Nathan's children in Walkup Cemetery, Shelby County, OH, this Will proved Launson must be Nathan's brother because he left much of his estate to Nathan's widow, Catharine, as well as to a Serepta THOMPSON of, guess where, Stockton, NY. The attorney who probated Launson's Will in 1849 was none other than Daniel GROSVENOR, a son of Theophilus GROSVENOR and probably a first cousin to both Nathan, Launson, Clarissa, Lucy and Serepta. Other pieces of this puzzle? We also knew that one of Nathan's daughters, Lucy, had been a student of an A. C. BLISS in 1839 but who was this BLISS fellow? Looking through the list of those persons buried at Walkup Cemetery in Shelby County, OH we found a "Lucy BLISS, wife of A.C" buried at that cemetery. Then after a little more research we found a that Lucy Laphronia GROSVENOR married a Dr. Alvin Crissey BLISS and they were from, guess where, Stockton, Chautauqua County, NY. Another piece of the puzzle. By then we had started to get all of the players in this rather fragmented puzzle together in three places -- Miami and Shelby County, OH -- Stockton, Chautauqua County, NY and from there to their roots in Fairfax, Franklin County, VT. So here is what we know or believe about the descendents of Richard GROSVENOR and the time line of their movements: Children of Richard GROSVENOR and Rebecca GLOYD as we know believe them to be: Clarissa (born 1793 and who married Alvin CRISSEY), Nathan (born 27 Nov 1796 and who married a Catharine "M."), Launson (born 14 Mar 1800 who never married), Serepta (possibly a twin of Launson who was born 1800 and who married Chester THOMSPON) and Lucy (who born 7 Sep 1807 and married Dr. Alvin Crissey BLISS). These birth dates were computed from their age as listed on their tombstones, if known. In fact, Serepta may well have been born in 1799 and Launson in either 1800 or 1801 because the 1800 Fairfax, Franklin County, VT census lists two girls under 10 (Clarissa and Serepta) and one boy (Nathan) under 10. Since we know that Lucy was not born until 1807 then Launson may well have been born in either in 1800 or in 1801 and neither would have been picked up on the 1800 census. We also know that Leicester GROSVENOR, Jr. died in 1808 and it is about this point that "our GROSVENOR's" disappear from Fairfax, Franklin County, VT. The Indian raids during the War of 1812 may have played no small part in their decision to seek a safer location, such a NY state. They may have stayed on as long as 1825 when Rebecca Gloyd GROSVENOR died and is buried in Carroll Hill Cemetery, Fairfax, Franklin, VT but regardless they are in Stockton, Chautauqua County, NY by 1830 when Nathan GROSVENOR is picked up on the 1830 Stockton census. We also know that Nathan GROSVENOR and family were living in Springcreek TWP, Miami County, OH in the 1840 Ohio Census, living right next to Samuel L. GROSVENOR a brother of Daniel GROSVENOR, an attorney who lived in Troy, OH. We also know that Alvin C. BLISS was also living nearby in Staunton TWP so the whole family, with the exception of Serepta and Clarissa, is living in Miami County, OH by 1840. Property records also indicate that Nathan purchased 111 acres located in Shelby County from Daniel GROSVENOR in 1844 and moved to McLean TWP, Shelby County, OH where he died several years later at age 49 and Launson several years afterwards at age 48. This is my best estimate of the time line of the movements of my wife's particular family: Before 1790 - Promfret, CT > 1790 to 1810 - Fairfax, Franklin County VT > 1810 to 1838 - Chautauqua County, NY > 1838-1844 - Miami County, OH > 1844 to 1858 - Shelby County, OH > 1858 to 1871 - Macon County, IL > 1871 to 1910 - Shelby County, OH > 1910 to 1950 - Piqua, Miami County, OH > 1950 to the present - Decatur, Dekalb County, GA. The one piece of this puzzle we are missing is the surname of Nathan's wife, a "Catharine M. GROSVENOR" (1799-1883) although we feel they were married around 1827 because their first child, John Allen GROSVENOR, was born in 1828. I feel there is a good chance Catharine's parents may also have come from Fairfax, Franklin County, VT, although she would later state she was "born in NY." We also know all of their children were also born in NY, probably in Chautauqua County. Their children's names that we know are John Allen (1828-1855), Hiram (1829-1863), Cyrus (1830-1870), Lucille (1832-1867), Wellington (1836-1854) and Nina (probably died young). I am also beginning to think the "M." (Catharine's middle initial) is not as significant as it may seem to be and her surname may well have been one of the surnames we already knew - BLISS, CRISSEY, THOMPSON or even an ALLEN that is the middle name of their first child. These families inter-married a lot in that era. Her name may well have been "Catharine Mary," but the name she was called was "Kate or Katie" and she would later describe her profession as a "nurse." She also had the ill-fortune to outlive not only her husband but every one of her children. Whomever she was, she was tough as nails having been forced to go through all of the death and misfortune she must have gone through during her long life. If you have any information to share on this family I would like to hear from you. Thanks in advance. John R.

Kate, I was in Highgate two weeks ago. I found the people in the Town Hall to be very helpful. You can look up the records with no problem and the town records include records that are not in the state records at Middlesex. The main cemetary is right in the center of town behind the Town Hall which doubles as the Fire Station and Highway Dept. There is also a small old Catholic cemetary across the street and a new Catholic cemetary down the street - St Louis. Charlene Gaboriault Holliston, MA

listmembers: I am getting married this morning so I will not be available for answers. I also will be away from the computer for the weekend. If there are any really important family related queries please direct these to rcar37@prodigy.net this is my father Richard Carter and he would have the same data.As for anything else I will return on Monday Thanks!
