Seeking Marriage or Divorce record for Arthur Charles BINGHAM and Augusta Sylvia LARSON... Married about 1904-5... Divorced about 1912, possibly in ST Albans VT Dick Carter rcar37@prodigy.net

Hi I am hoping to go to Bakersfield Vt soon. My 3rd gr grandfather Robert Scott was buried there in 1832. Is it likely that the town offices will have information on his including his date and location of birth? Are there Librarys and other places I should visit in the area? I will probably get there some time on a Sunday and leave mid-Monday to get back to central MA. Thanks very much. Diane __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hello- I've been mostly 'lurking' on this list, but thought I would respond to this query. The USGenWeb project is attempting to transcribe, and make available on-line and at no cost, ALL of the census schedules for all 50 states. If anyone has looked at their site recently, there are very few volunteers working on Vermont censuses. I have sent in a volunteer application, offering to transcribe the 1870 Franklin Co. census and I'm waiting to hear from them. I would like to ask everyone who has access to a census schedule-in any county or state, to contact the USGenWeb and become a volunteer. I don't know how many subscribers are on this list, but I imagine that there are enough that if each of us volunteered we would have all of Franklin Co. being transcribed, and perhaps even all of Vermont. Vicki L. Olive phalene@alaska.net

Well, I guess that I insulted 3 or 4 generations of Vermonters. My sincere appologies. I didnt notice until after it was gone, but by then it was too late... I DO know how to spell Vermont. I'll go sit in the corner a while. I guess that cancels ANY help from Vermont.

>From Hemenway's Vermont Gazetteer Vol. 2 pg. 370 Sheldon, Vermont Franklin County(the town was originally called Hungerford, from Samuel Hungerford, to whom, with 64 others, it was granted , in 1763. The first of the Sheldons that visited the town was Samuel B; or "Major Sam,' as he was afterwards called. He and Elisha, Jr.; and George were sons of Col. Elisha Sheldon. It was in 1789 that Major Sam first came to town. His object in coming was to look the township over and inspect the soil previous to purchasing. Instead of approaching as the early settlers afterwards did by the way of Fairfield, alone, unaccompanied by man or beast, he ascended the Lamoille to Cambridge; passed through Bakersfield, then an unfrequented wilderness, striking one of the branches that empties into Tyler's Branch, which he descended until he reached the point where the latter stream joins the Missisquoi, and, to him within the bounds of the promised land. It being nightfall, he stopped here until morning, and a large elm was long pointed out as the one beneath which he first slept; (distant many a mile from any habitation or human being save, perchance, the lurking red man,) with no covering or protection-nothing save a "portmanteau for a pillow." In the spring of 1790, George, the youngest son of Col. Sheldon, accompanied by a sturdy old Scotchman by the name of Mac Namara and his wife, together with several Negro servants, came to town as "first settlers; "their only means of locomotion being a yoke of oxen and sled. From the town of Fairfield--the nearest settled point for a distance of 10 miles, they marked trees for a road through the dense wood to the Missisquoi. Here, upon the north side of the river, opposite the outlet of Tyler's Branch, and scarcely more than a stone's throw from the old elm beneath which Major Sam passed a lonely night, the year previous, they constructed a log house--the first built in town by white men, and upon land now owned by J.Towle, Esq. Here also was the first tree felled, the first ground broken and the first seed planted. "What could lure their steps To this drear dessert? Bleak Nature's desolation wraps them round, Eternal forests, and unyielding earth, And savage men, who through the thickets peer With vengeful arrow." After the crops were harvested the Negroes (as written!) returned to Burlington to pass the winter. George also started for home in Connecticut, leaving Mac Namara and wife to keep watch and ward over matters at the settlement until the return of spring. The sufferings and sorrows of the lonely settler-his trust and determination--have passed into tradition. Well does it illustrate the stern, unflinching character of the pioneer, and none more worthy than this resolute son of Caledonia--it is this: on his way home George had requested a Mr. Hawley, living in Fairfield, to visit MacNamara occasionally and see to him. Hawley agreed to, but failed to do so, even once. Early the next spring George returned ,and when he learned that Hawley had not seen him, he felt much concerned and hastened on. What was his astonishment when he reached the settlement, to find that MacNamara;s wife had died and that he had covered the body in a snow-bank near the house. She was afterward buried on the south side of the river, about a quarter of a mile distant, upon a "hemlock ridge," and there, alone, where no monument nor tablet marks the spot, and where the exact place cannot be indicated, for. "The gravestone is the seal," is pointed out the "bold, bald bluff" wherein lies buried the f first known white person that died within the town's limits. Later in the spring, Col. Sheldon and his sons, Elisha Jr.; Maj. Sam. and son in law, Elnathan Keyes, together with their families and that of George, and their Negro servants, also James Herrick and James Hawley, arrived in town. While on their way, as near as can be ascertained, at the house of Daniel Stannard, in Georgia, the first town organization took place. Col. Sheldon, Elish, Jr.; Maj. Sam. and James Hawley were appointed selectmen, and James Herrick, constable. Settling at different points, all parties began in earnest the clearing of lands and growing of crops. Meanwhile others joined them and the settlement advanced, with considerable rapidity, so that, in 1796, 33 votes were cast for Samuel Hitchcock, M.C.; and, undoubtedly, some did not vote. The first birth in town was a colored child child' its mother, "Old Mary," was a servant of Col. Sheldon, who bought her in Connecticut where she was sold for the commission of some crime. The second child born was Harry Deming, son of Frederick Deming; the third, Louisa Sheldon, daughter of Geo. Sheldon. Although the early history of Sheldon has much of peculiar interest; there is no point, probably, around which so much of romantic and historic incident clusters, as in the immediate vicinity of the outlet of Tyler's Branch. Here, within the radius of a quarter of a mile, stood the elm, beneath which first slept Major Sheldon; here was built the first log house and barn --the later of which was afterwards burned by the Indians; here was born the first white female child in town; here, too, was erected the first framed barn, which is still standing, owned by J.Towle, though uch unlike the original, from much repairing; here, too, was a brick-kiln-fragments of brick being still seen; here, also the first death and first burial.

Hi, >From Hemenway's Gazetteer: Bakersfield, Vermont Franklin County Vol. 2 pg. 106. Bakersfield by Rev. G.F. Wright and Prof. H.J. Moore: (Excerpt) The committee, on the following morning examined candidates for the regular formation of a church, and the following were appointed and entered into church covenant as the First Congregational Church of Bakersfield, viz; Josiah Sheldon, Jeremiah Pratt, William Perkins, Joseph Ross, Ezra Allen, Daniel Stebbins, Lydia Perkins, Hannah Hazletine, Perggy Short, Elizabeth Ross, Lydia Allen. But the church had no regular minister till 1821. The following is a list of the ministers that have remained a year or more with this church: Elderkin J. Boardman, 1821-'26; Sam'l Perry, 1827-'28; S.G. Tenney, 1831 '34; Mr. Bachelder, 1838-'39; Thomas Canfield, 1840-'45; Daniel Warren, 1847-'54; C.W. Piper, 1855-'61; G.F. Wright, 1862. Of these Messers, Boardman, Canfield, Warren and Wright were installed. (Franklin County) Vol. 1 pg. 99 Excerpt: The Institute (teachers) for 1865 was held at Bakersfield, December 26 and 27, and was largely attended by citizens and teachers from all parts of the County. Rev. George F. Wright, of Bakersfield, and Mr. Willet, Principal of the Bakersfield Academy, were active in furthering the purposes of the meeting. (In Burial Grounds of Vt. no Hinsdillville cemetery is listed.) Polly Pmanosh@pwshift.com > Hello Listers: > > My wife's Franklin County connection is David Wright. Born in Templeton, MA on 26 Sep 1763, to Ebenezer Wright 3rd and Lucy Barrett, he married Maria Ann (or Maryann) WARNER in Templeton (Worcester Co.), and had at least 6 children there between 1788 and 1798. The next information I have for him, based on family lore, is the birth of his daughter, Lucy Barrett Wright on , 1810 in Bakersfield. The gap between the 1798 birth and 1810 birth leads me to believe there were other children, b. either in Bakersfield or Templeton. I did not find him listed on census indexes for either MA or VT in 1800, but he is listed in 1810, 1820, and 1830 in Bakersfield. Family lore says he died 8 Feb 1836, and is buried in Hinsdillville Cemetery in Franklin Co. > > I would be interesting in verifying the birth of Lucy Barrett Wright, either by vital statistics or church records or something. > > I would be interested in knowing if David and Maria had other children in Frainklin Co. between 1800 and 1810. > > I would also be interested in knowing if there is a Hinsdillville Cemetery in Franklin Co.

>From Hemeneay's Vermont Historical Gazetteer Berkshire, Vermont Franklin County Vol. 2 p 119 "Among those most worthy of memory is Mr. David Coburn, born in New Hampshire, he came to Berkshire when a young man, and by his stering intergrity and worth as well as by his warm attachment to the church, and zeal in advancing his interests, won a name and a place that will not soon perish. He too was an efficient officer in the church for 24 years. In 1842, his earthly caree closed. Only four hours intervened between his death and that of his estimable wife. One grave received them, and deeply were they mourned." Mr. Coburn, though beginning with nothering, and dying when scarcely past middle life, had managed by honest industry, sound judgment and due economy, to accumulate a property which afforded a handsome little portion for each of his children. Two sons and three daughters remain with us, to quicken and presere the rememrance of their excellent parents. (Fairlee, Vermont) Orange county vol2 pg 805 Samuel Coburn, born in Woodstock, Ct; in 1763, with his wife (Irene Perrin) moved to Fairlee in February, 1784. Capt. Benjamin Stratton, of Roxbury, Mass; as also Calvin Morse (a brothr of Rev. Jedediah Morse, first American geographer), with their families and provisions, were conveyed on an ox-sled, and on their arrival in the border of the town on the river-road, traveled up the river aout a mile, then turning short to the left went about 2 miles into an uninhabited and unbroken wilderness. here in this solitary wild, Mr. Coburn and Mr. Stratton, made their pitch, taking up 400 acres of land--150 apiece. After erecting a temporary shelter, they commenced their united labor in clearing a piece of land, preparatory to raising their first crop of wheat, and also in erecting a framed residence for their joint occupancy, for the time being; which structure was occupeid by Mr. Coburn during his life, and by his son Calvin, *Since deceased until 1867, when he removed it to give place for a more beautiful and commodious structure for their future residence,--may they long live to enjoy it.--Charles, the oldest son of Samuel Coburn, havingsome years before erected a substantial sturcture for his future abode. These two sons, now living on what was their father's homestead, and having much enlarged the borders of the same by the addition of numberous acres, are quietly enjoying the fruits of their own and their parents labors, these two being all that remain of a family of 8 children. Charles, now (Feb. 1870) in his 85th year, voted at freemen's meeting for the first time in 1806, it being the first of those meetings held after he became of ae, and has voted at all freemen's meetings held in town to the present time; and has also voted at every presidential election, commencing with taht of Madison in 1809, down to Grant's in 1868. He volunteered at the time of the British invasion of Plattsburg and Lake Champlain. Charles has no children; Calvin has 2 sons and 3 daughters, the youngest of whom, recently married, is with her husband, (a Mr. Gaffield,) living with her parents. Calvin Morse, before alluded to, proceeded still farther westward into what is now West Fairlee. Two brothers of Samuel Coburn--John and Lemuel--subsequently settled in town, and raised numberous. (Franklin Vermont) In the winter of 1796 and '97, Dr. Enoch Pomery taught in a house in this vicinity. Scholars came from al parts of the town, There appear to have been no other schools in town up to this period, and no regular school houses==schools being taught in "back-kitchens" and sometimes in small log buildings. The houses of Esq. Hubbard, Mr. Coburn and Dr. Marvin were each of them opend for this purpose. These schools were supported by voluntary contributions--Esq. Hubbard paying one half, and others the remainder. Polly Pmanosh@pwshift.com
